After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 63

The candlelight was faint, and Xie Tang was half held in the arms of the emperor, and it took a long time to recover from the dazed state, remembering that he was in the palace.

"I'm sorry for your disrespect." Xie Tangru's voice was a little dry, and he broke free from the emperor's embrace dyed with a touch of white sandalwood, and found that he was still holding something in his hand. Looking down, it turned out to be half of the emperor's dragon-patterned sleeve. Grab a hot potato and let it go hastily.

Although he usually lived in the palace, saying that he lived with the emperor, he was not so presumptuous. There was a clear distinction between the courtiers and the emperor, and he never violated the rules.Today, for some reason, he fainted and fell asleep on the emperor's bed, not to mention, when he woke up, he still grabbed the sleeve of the emperor's sleeve - if he tried harder, the sleeve would be torn off by him.

"No problem." Shang Qingyao's tone was the same as usual, calmly pulled a little distance away, and kept it within a range that would not make Xie Tangru vigilant, "Your Majesty is restless, but are you having a nightmare?"

"..." After hesitating for a moment, Xie Tangru nodded, "I dreamed about something."

"what?"

"I dreamed that His Majesty brought people to arrest me and almost killed me. I was so scared that I woke up immediately."

Shang Qingyao stared at him for a long time, until Xie Tangru felt a little uncomfortable, then said in a low voice: "It's just a dream, I will never kill you."

"That's not necessarily true." The slender and thick black eyelashes trembled like butterflies, and for some reason, Xie Tangru avoided Shang Qingyao's gaze, "If I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, can your majesty also let it go? "

"What crime of deceiving the emperor have you committed?" Shang Qingyao asked.

Xie Tang tilted his head, and his tone was tinged with a bit of a joking smile, and the tone was slightly drawn out: "For example—conspiring to rebel, deceiving the emperor?"

Shang Qingyao nodded: "It's indeed a serious crime. I'm afraid you won't be enough to apologize if you die. You might as well live to make amends for me."

Xie Tangru lowered his eyes and smiled, his tone was casual: "Your Majesty is magnanimous."

The magnanimous emperor touched Xie Tangru's forehead with his hand, because he woke up from a dream, there was still a bit of sweaty coldness on his forehead, "Take a rest, there are still two hours before dawn."

Xie Tangru shook his head: "I won't sleep anymore. I want to go outside for a walk. I'm alone."

"Okay. I'll ask two people to accompany you." Shang Qingyao didn't ask a word, but told him, "It's dewy and windy at night, you should wear thicker clothes before going out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so sympathetic to your subjects. It's just that if you wear something thicker, others will think that I have passed the winter early."

In the end, Xie Tangru followed Shang Qingyao's wishes and put on a gold-thread sparrow fur. The two servants in front lit the lamps to guide Xie Tangru.

The flowers and leaves are sparse, and looking at the flowers under the lamp is also very interesting, but Xie Tangru's mind is not on these.He just wanted to find a reason to avoid Shang Qingyao temporarily.

He did have a nightmare.

It was even more like a nightmare than the first time he dreamed that he failed to seize the throne and was imprisoned by Shang Qingyao.

In the dream, Xie Tangru led people to hunt Shang Qingyao, and his position was relative. Shang Qingyao was almost killed by Xie Tangru's arrow——Xie Tangru knew that his heart had softened when he was watching. He really wanted Shang Qingyao to die, and under that circumstance, it was impossible for Shang Qingyao to live.And this soft heart also became the root of his failure. Xie Tangru was killed by Shang Qingyao and was trapped in the Qing Terrace.

He watched coldly, and found that he and Shang Qingyao in the dream were never just political enemies.

It's just that he was stupid, and the authorities were confused, and now he sees the clues.

——But no matter how secret and intimate the relationship is, it is only a dream, and it is completely different from reality.

Outside of the dream world, it is already good to be reluctant to be right with the monarch and ministers, and there is really no need to go further.

In the eyes of outsiders, the prince of Wei Guogong, who had committed treason, had died under the sword. Only the emperor knew that in the hidden depths of the palace, the old prince of Wei Guogong was trapped in a red silk room.

The relationship between Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao has not always been so bad. Wei Guogong's son accepts his fate and fate well, but occasionally complains that the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician order are really bitter, trying to exchange for the emperor's soft heart. Ask for a small plate of bitter candied fruit.

There was also tenderness, and soft words.But it all happened in the winter of the third year after Shang Qingyao ascended the throne. Duke Wei, who had always been in good health, died of a sudden illness. Secret poison.

The illusion of calmness and warmth shattered suddenly, revealing a ferocious inside full of malice.

The few trusts between Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao were crumbling.

The dream came to an abrupt end here, and when Xie Tangru opened his eyes, he only saw Shang Qingyao's worried face.The feeling of empathy with the person in the dream shocked him, and it took him a long time to calm down.

But it was only after calming down that Xie Tangru discovered many doubts about the scene in the dream.The self in the dream was already weak, and being stimulated by the news of Wei Guogong's death, coupled with the fact that he and Shang Qingyao did not fully trust each other, perhaps this gave people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Even when examining herself and her most intimate and secret lover, Xie Tangru maintained an extraordinary calmness.

Did the self in the dream realize that "Jian Shuang" is not Jian Shuang at all?

That was the daughter who was recognized by the Yongning Hou Mansion.

It's Yu Ran.
