Chapter 58
Lu Ling and Chu Liuyun both looked outside the door and saw the man slowly walking towards them, his face becoming clearer and clearer.
When Chu Liuyun saw Nan Rongjing's face, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just stared at Lu Ling and then at Nan Rongjing with his eyes wide open and covering his mouth.
"You..." Chu Liuyun pointed his finger between Lu Ling and Nan Rongjing, "You——"
Nan Rongjing raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, it's me. I live in Changle Palace."
Only today did he learn from the cleaning maid that Changle Palace was a palace where only the queen could live.
When Nan Rongjing found out, he was overjoyed and walked around in Changle Palace, waiting for Lu Ling's arrival.
But after waiting for a long time, Lu Ling not only didn't come, he also didn't send anyone to find him, so Nan Rongjing went there by himself, but he didn't expect to hear the conversation between the two.
Chu Liuyun was shocked. He approached Lu Ling and asked softly, "Didn't Chen Wangyou die? Why is he back?"
Is it a human or a ghost?
Not many people knew about what happened on the battlefield. Jiang Yun kept his mouth shut and did not tell anyone about his encounter with Shen Wangyou and Lin Yao on the battlefield. Another person who knew about it, Yang Gan, had already died.
Lu Ling held his forehead and explained: "He is Shen Wangyou, but..."
Lu Ling explained what happened.
Chu Liuyun looked Nan Rongjing up and down, then looked at Lu Ling and said in disbelief, "Are you sure he is the King of Baipu?"
I can't tell. He doesn't seem to be that smart.
Of course, Chu Liuyun still didn't dare to say this in front of Lu Ling and Nan Rongjing.
Lu Ling smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Chu Liuyun patted his head as if remembering something and said, "I can't stay any longer. Please think about what I said. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for my sugar-roasted chestnuts. I'm leaving first."
Chu Liuyun hurried out, but stopped halfway, turned to look at Nan Rongjing, and then said to Lu Ling, "By the way, I've prepared a surprise for you. Remember not to read too late tonight."
After saying that, Chu Liuyun walked very fast as if his feet were greased.
After seeing Chu Liuyun leave, Nan Rongjing sat in the seat Chu Liuyun had just occupied and said with a smile, "A Ling, I know everything."
These words made no sense, and Lu Ling had no idea why Nan Rongjing said this to him.
Lu Ling: "What did you know?"
Nan Rongjing hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I know that Changle Palace is for the Queen to live in. You actually think so in your heart, right? Let me be your Queen."
Lu Ling didn't know how Nan Rongjing deduced this sentence, and Nan Rongjing's coy behavior made her look like a pretentious concubine, so how could she be worthy of the position of queen.
Wait, Lu Ling felt that he had also been confused by Nan Rongjing. What queen? Not to mention that there has never been a male queen since ancient times, the fact that Nan Rongjing is the Prince of Baipu is not enough.
Nan Rongjing had held his hand without him noticing, and was moving it restlessly, making Lu Ling feel itchy and unbearable.
Lu Ling took a look and let go of Nan Rongjing's hand.
Her expression was calm, even a little ruthless. "You're overthinking it. I never considered making you queen. I let you live in Changle Palace because I thought it wouldn't be unfair to Prince Baipu."
Nan Rongjing's face froze, then gradually turned darker and his eyes dimmed.
Seeing this, Lu Ling felt that the conversation could not continue today. He would wait and see the situation tomorrow and have a good talk with Nan Rongjing to let him leave as soon as possible.
She could no longer offer sacrifices to this huge Buddha.
"A Ling, you don't have to treat me as the King of Bai Pu. I didn't tell anyone that I came here, so no one knows." Nan Rongjing was still struggling.
Lu Ling didn't give him a chance, said no, and then found an excuse to let Nan Rongjing go back.
Lu Ling returned to the bedroom at night, still wondering what surprise his cousin had given him. After a while, Yuan Qing walked in with a few people.
Lu Ling was taking off the hairpins on her head. Seeing so many people coming, she asked in confusion, "What are these?"
"Your Majesty, this was sent by the Duke of Fuguo, who told Your Majesty to choose carefully and keep the ones you like."
Lu Ling paused, and suddenly realized: So this is the "surprise" that his cousin wants to give him.
He didn't want it, but it was not easy to offend his cousin. Besides, all the civil and military officials would know about this tomorrow, and maybe some of them would secretly send it to the Duke of Fuguo.
Lu Ling looked around and found that all these men were handsome and really good-looking.
She pointed at one of the men and asked him to come over to her: "You, help me take off the hairpin on my head."
Seeing this, Yuan Qing asked the others to leave first.
"What's your name?" Lu Ling asked.
"Your Majesty, this servant is Zhu Hexuan."
"Hexuan, it's a good name."
After washing up, Lu Ling did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she lay on the chaise longue, supporting her head with her hands, and let Zhu Hexuan give her a back massage.
There have been a lot of affairs in the court these days, and Lu Ling is very tired.
I have to say that Zhu Hexuan is very good and gave a great massage, which swept away all the fatigue in Lu Ling's body. Lu Ling fell asleep so comfortably without knowing when.
When he woke up again, it was already midnight. Lu Ling opened his eyes and saw Zhu Hexuan still massaging him professionally.
Lu Ling smiled and felt that he had slept very comfortably. "Go down, I'll call you back if there's anything."
However, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Hexuan left secretly. People outside still thought that he was with Lu Ling tonight.
Only after Zhu Hexuan left did Lu Ling go to bed. He slept well all night without any dreams.
Early the next morning, Yuan Qing came in and said that Nan Rongjing wanted to see him. Lu Ling was changing clothes and didn't want to see him.
"Tell him to go back first, and I will come back to find him when the time comes." Lu Ling said.
After a while, Yuan Qing came in again and said that Nan Rongjing was unwilling and he must see her today.
Lu Ling had already finished dressing up, but she had no time to pay attention to Nan Rongjing. She said, "If he wants, then let him stand outside the hall."
After that, Lu Ling ignored him.
After the court session, Lu Ling asked if Yuan Qingren was still there.
Yuan Qing said that the person had left and returned to Changle Palace.
It seemed that the noise had stopped, so Lu Ling planned to go over and have a calm chat with him.
Lu Ling came to Changle Palace. The palace door was closed. Lu Ling asked Yuan Qing to wait outside. After all, it was better for fewer people to know about this.
Lu Ling gently pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he stepped inside, someone covered his mouth and pressed him behind the door.
"Shhh..." Nan Rongjing put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Lu Ling stared at Nan Rongjing with wide eyes, looking at him anxiously. She knew Nan Rongjing too well, and she knew she had a tough battle to fight with him. But Lu Ling didn't know the tactics, didn't know how to break it.
Nan Rongjing kissed Lu Ling without hesitation, from the forehead, nose, and finally to the mouth.
Originally, Lu Ling didn't want to respond to him, but Lu Ling thought that this might be the last time he would have such close contact with him, so Lu Ling lost his mind, forgot the purpose of coming, and responded slowly.
Just indulge in this as a farewell.
The two kissed passionately behind the door. Lu Ling felt she couldn't breathe, and she patted Nan Rongjing weakly.
Nan Rongjing let her go, his eyes full of tenderness.
Lu Ling was having difficulty breathing and his eyes were blurry, so he couldn't see Nan Rongjing's expression clearly.
Nan Rongjing picked up Lu Ling by the waist, kissed Lu Ling as he walked, and carried Lu Ling to the bed.
Nan Rongjing gently put Lu Ling on the bed, and then "bite" Lu Ling like a beast.
He leaned on Lu Ling's neck and sucked madly, but still couldn't taste it.
Only then did Lu Ling notice Nan Rongjing's abnormality. He pushed Nan Rongjing away and found that Nan Rongjing's eyes were red and tears were about to fall in his moist eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ling asked him.
Nan Rongjing supported himself on both sides of Lu Ling with his hands, and tears fell on Lu Ling's face.
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Lu Ling asked again: "What's wrong with you?"
Nan Rongjing still didn't speak. Only then did Lu Ling realize that he didn't die because he didn't want to talk, but he just couldn't say it because he was in so much pain.
Lu Ling hugged him, sat up, patted Nan Rongjing on the back, wiped his tears, and comforted him.
After Nan Rongjing recovered, he spoke, his voice hoarse, and asked, "Are you with someone else?"
When he got up this morning, he heard someone say that several people came to the Emperor's side last night and kept one of the men by his side for the whole night.
Nan Rongjing was furious when he heard this and just wanted to ask Lu Ling if it was true. But when he arrived at Lu Ling's bedroom, Lu Ling didn't see him. The more Nan Rongjing thought about it, the sadder he became, feeling that Lu Ling didn't have him in his heart.
So when Lu Ling came to Changle Palace, he held Lu Ling captive without saying a word and stopped her from speaking. He was afraid that he would hear Lu Ling say that she didn't want him.
Then he kissed her again, wanting Lu Ling to remember his goodness and let Lu Ling know how much he couldn't live without her.
When Lu Ling heard Nan Rongjing's words, he was stunned, and then he remembered what happened last night. He must have misunderstood him, but Lu Ling still wanted to ask Nan Rongjing to see what he thought.
"Why do you feel that way?"
Nan Rongjing had stopped crying, but her eyes were still red. "Didn't you send someone to your bedroom yesterday? And that person stayed there all night..."
"So do you think that just because I let someone go to my bedroom, I'm with him?"
Nan Rongjing was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
Lu Ling thought about it and it seemed to be true. A man who stayed in his own bedroom in the middle of the night and stayed there all night would think so. Lu Ling held his forehead, feeling that he had been careless.
"No, but don't think too much about it. We are not suitable for each other."
Lu Ling didn't want to give Nan Rongjing any more hope, he just wanted him to go back home as soon as possible. Staying in the Chu Kingdom's imperial city all the time was not a good thing.
These words seemed to touch Nan Rongjing's sore spot, and his face quickly turned dark.
He pressed Lu Ling under him, leaned close to Lu Ling's ear, and whispered, "Is it really not suitable? Then why did you have to be me in the first place?"
Lu Ling's ears flushed red as he pressed against Nan Rongjing's leaning body: "Then was the then, and now is now."
Nan Rongjing's breath sprayed on Lu Ling's face, and Lu Ling felt a little itchy. Lu Ling turned his head and said, "Don't forget your identity."
"A Ling, do you still care about your status? I can tell you everything about my past. Please don't leave me, okay?"
