052. Preference

Rongse felt that he was quite puzzled.

The relationship between him and Liang Shenyu is unclear now. He still has kiss marks from that bastard on his neck, but in the final analysis, he hasn't given in, so they still have no official status.

What Rong Jing was willing to do for Liang Shenyu, whether Liang Shenyu was willing to accept it, or what other plans he had, had nothing to do with him.

But today Rong Jing's intention to take credit from Liang Shenyu was so obvious, so what did Song Yan say just now?

Soft-hearted towards the Regent.

What exactly does Liang Shenyu want to do? What is his plan? What are these days?

Rong Se suddenly felt frightened. He subconsciously chose to retreat and walked faster and faster in the corridor, even to the point where he didn't know where to go.

When Liang Shenyu chased out, he saw him running as if he was escaping. He didn't know how much Rong Se heard, but it must have been after Song Yan entered the room. So why was he running?

Rong Se was caught by Liang Shenyu at a corner. The man was very strong and she had no way to resist him as he was pressed against the column under the corridor by his shoulders.

"Liang Shenyu!" Rong Se was trapped between his arms and the pillar behind him. He pushed his shoulders and struggled, "Let go, let go!"

"Okay, okay."

Liang Shenyu agreed readily, but hugged him even tighter, his hands skillfully clasping his waist to suppress all struggles.

"Then tell me." Liang Shenyu bit his earlobe and lowered his voice, "Why are you running?"

Rong Se himself couldn't explain why he felt so sad, so he could only turn his face away in panic and asked instead of answering, "What about you? What do you want to do by coming to the palace?"

A moment of silence.

"Do you suspect I have ulterior motives?"

Liang Shenyu pinched Rong Se's chin and forced him to look at him, then asked softly, "Why do you look so sad, Prince?"

Rong Se's eyes were red, and his voluptuous features looked even more beautiful. Liang Shenyu's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but let go of his hand and touched the corner of his eye, and asked in a low voice: "Speak, Prince."

Rong Se was frightened by his sudden change in eyes. With his lips slightly moved, he said in an inaudible voice: "I don't want to see you."

Like a gamble.

And a bit pitiful.

Liang Shenyu almost couldn't bear to bully him.

"That's my fault. Liang Shenyu kissed the corner of his eyes with pity, and murmured, "I do have evil intentions and other plans. Don't you know what I am coveting?"

Rong Se understood what he meant by these seemingly implicit yet straightforward words.

"How should I know..."

Rongse murmured to himself as if he was talking to himself, clearly in a trance, but he also knew very clearly that he was sad and scared of something, so he felt even more aggrieved.

"I have no idea."

Liang Shenyu's eyes darkened.

She wanted to force him to do what he wanted, so that he could understand firsthand what she wanted. But she couldn't bear to see him look so aggrieved. The two emotions wrestled with each other for only a moment, and in the end, pity prevailed.

He sighed softly and held Rong Se tightly in his arms.

“It’s you.”

Liang Shenyu lowered his eyes and said slowly: "I thought that you would fight the new emperor to a draw and both sides would suffer losses, so you would have no time to care about the Jinbei Cavalry in the hands of the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, but you are so powerful that I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night..."

At this point, he chuckled.

"Even Song Yan can see that I favor you, Prince. How come you can't see it?"

Rong Se paused.

Compared to the plot in the original novel, the Liang Shenyu in front of him was indeed of great help to him, and his attitude towards Rong Jing was completely different.

"I……"

Rong Se pursed his lips and asked again: "What are you going to do about the Qiu family? They did deserve it, but Rong Jing and the Cao family..."

"Let them do whatever they want." Liang Shenyu said nonchalantly, his tone more like a sneer, "It's dog-eat-dog, just watch."

Rong Se was comforted by him and was no longer nervous and panicked. His mind was back online. He carefully sorted out what he heard outside the door, plus Liang Shenyu's obvious attitude.

I had a vague guess in my mind.

"You..." Rong Se nervously tested, "You don't like Rong Jing and the Cao family very much?"

"What else?" Liang Shenyu held his face with one hand, his eyes filled with smiles, and approached him with his head lowered. "Who do I like? Don't you know it yet?"

Perhaps because he was sure that Liang Shenyu was too tolerant of him, Rong Se stiffened his neck and looked at him. He forgot to ask further questions and said to the ground, "I don't know."

Liang Shenyu was amused by his fearless look. He did not say anything, but picked him up neatly and walked calmly.

"Then I should find a way to let the prince know."

Rong Se was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was a busy corridor, and who knows when someone might pass by. He grabbed Liang Shenyu's clothes and threatened him fiercely: "What are you doing? Put me down!"

Liang Shenyu turned a deaf ear to him and walked even slower, but he held the baby more steadily.

It was not until he returned to his room that Rong Se breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, no one saw it.

Then he was pressed against the door and kissed thoroughly.

Rong Se was almost suffocating and thought vaguely, it was ridiculous that he would be so emotionally moved by Liang Shenyu...

Worrying about gains and losses, but also feeling happy.

This is really irrational and strange.

.

On the other side, the Jinbei Army camp.

Song Yan lay on the small table in the military tent, sighed fiercely, and said repeatedly: "Lust makes one lose one's mind, lust makes one lose one's mind, how can even a man like our master be seduced by that Regent?"

Wu Jie wanted to cover his mouth, so he took out a candy bag and stuffed a mouthful of candy into his mouth. "Stop talking."

"Willn't I become a taciturn person like you?" Song Yan rolled his eyes at him, speaking indistinctly with candy in his mouth.

Wu Jie was silent for a moment, "It's better than dying."

Song Yan glared at him, "Say something nice. Besides, you haven't seen how happy the Marquis is now. How could he fall in love with a man? No matter how handsome the Regent is, he is still a man."

Wu Jie was so angry that he didn't want to look at him. He turned his face away and sneered: "What's it to you?"

Before Song Yan could speak, Wu Jie opened the bag of candy and pretended to fall to the ground.

This trick always works well for Song Yan. He immediately shut his mouth and pursed his lips to show his determination not to speak.

He endured the humiliation and saved the bag of candy.

.

Marquis Dingbei, who was enjoying himself so much, lived in the palace and kept testing the Regent King's bottom line, from kissing to physical contact, and only stopped when the Regent King was so excited that his face turned red.

Rong Se couldn't help feeling a little scared. He was so reckless during the day, who knew what this man was going to do in the middle of the night? He stood at the door and refused to let Liang Shenyu climb into his bed again.

"The palace has prepared a guest room for you."

Rong Se held onto the door frame tightly. The thin shirt he wore when sleeping could not cover the large patch of spots on his neck. He could even feel the heat from the kiss mark, so his fingertips clenched even tighter.

Liang Shenyu didn't care. He stood there calmly and nodded gently: "It's okay. This door can't stop me."

Rong Se recalled that Liang Shenyu had come to her house several times, and tried to persuade him with kind words: "But everything should be done step by step..."

"OK."

Liang Shenyu responded the moment before, and then he forced the door open. Not only did he walk in openly, he also pressed the owner of the room against the door frame with his backhand, smiling warmly, "Hug, kiss..."

He leaned close to Rong Se's ear and whispered, "Step by step, what should we do next?"

Rong Se thought about it again and again, feeling frustrated, and finally said, "... No, there is no need to proceed step by step, just, it's good like this now."

"Really?" Liang Shenyu tried to hold back his laughter, "Not gradually?"

Rong Se nodded reluctantly.

Liang Shenyu finally laughed out loud, loosened the shackles and gently kissed Rongse's cheek, just a gentle touch.

"Don't be afraid." He said, "I won't force you, just be good."

Rong Se glanced at him and said, "Speak properly."

Liang Shenyu followed suit: "Then go to sleep."

Rong Se: “…”

The army is not formed.

.

Cao Haoyun repeatedly pondered the meaning of Liang Shenyu's words, and finally couldn't help but tell Cao Lun. Unexpectedly, Cao Lun dropped the brush in his hand on the rice paper, splashing a large stain of ink.

"What did you say?" Cao Lun lost his composure and was frightened. "Did he ask you to say that? Did he say anything else?"

Cao Haoyun was shocked by his reaction. He had never seen his usually calm and composed father look like this.

Just like...

It seems like I am feeling guilty, and also like I am afraid.

"No, no more." Cao Haoyun shook his head, and began to feel jealous of Dingbei Hou. He asked tentatively, "Dad, what does he mean by that?"

"Don't worry about it." Cao Lun frowned and said, "Give the order to harness the carriage. I want to go to the palace - no, go, go and invite Lord Xi to come!"

Xi Yan arrived at Cao's residence soon. He entered and asked, "Master Cao, what happened? Why are you calling me here in such a hurry?"

Cao Lun was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid that the Qiu family made a wrong move."

Xi Yan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Cao Lun repeated what Cao Haoyun had told him. Xi Yan stood up abruptly after he sat down, and said in disbelief, "Did he really say that?"

"Well, no wonder he was willing to help Your Majesty ascend the throne, but turned around to curry favor with the Regent." Cao Lun frowned, "We all underestimated Liang San. He is the most cunning of the three sons of the Liang family."

Xi Yan considered it over and over again, clenched his fist and knocked his palm, and said urgently: "It's come to this, there's no turning back!"

The two looked at each other.

This hit Cao Lun right in the heart. He said in a deep voice, "But we can't continue investigating. The Qiu family father and son sold weapons, which led to the defeat of Guzhuling and the death of the Dingbei Marquis father and son. No matter what, Qiu Sinan has to bear the blame!"

Both of them were experienced veterans of the imperial court. Having said that, Xi Yan clearly understood what Cao Lun meant.

"The man is in the Dali Temple." Xi Yan thought, "It's not impossible to take action, but Lord Cao, Liang Shenyu dared to say this, so he must have something in his hand."

“Not really.”

Cao Lun pondered for a moment, "All those who deserved to die are dead. I'm afraid even Liang Hanzhang lost his life in confusion before his death, not to mention that so many years have passed... Even if he knows something, he may not have evidence, otherwise he would have brought it out long ago."

The two people's eyes met and they fell silent at the same time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation in the DPRK is tense.

No one knows whether Marquis Dingbei will make the water more turbid.
