The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 103 A Difficult Game

"Do you know how difficult it is to win the competition?" Liu Zhufeng's story frightened her, and said solemnly: "This competition is divided into five parts, the first one is Wenbi, and He Lanxue can pass this stage. He used to be famous for his literary talents. The second level is the martial arts competition. In this level, there will be five people left. He Lanxue's martial arts is not bad, so maybe he will stay. The third level will be more difficult, yes It's a test of courage."

"courage?"

"Yes, the contestants single-handedly broke through the neatly lined 30 Royal Forest Army, then crossed the ring of fire, climbed to the high platform [-] meters away, and took down the hydrangea on it for Her Majesty the Queen. It's the courage of the contestants."

"It looks very dangerous..."

"It's not very dangerous, it's quite dangerous. Especially He Lanxue, do you know how much the people of Ice Country hate him? At the beginning, his refusal made His Majesty the Queen, whom the people of Ice Country respects like gods, lose face. , when they see He Lanxue, don’t they chase after him like a cat seeing a mouse?” Liu Zhufeng continued to use his alarmist skills.

"Er... what is the fourth level?"

"The fourth level is nothing. It's a test of strength. Men are afraid that women will have others outside, and women are also afraid that men will have others outside. It's nothing more than being thrown into the group of women after drinking something, ahem... I know. Right?" At this point, Liu Zhufeng became proud: "I came up with this, genius?"

Yi Ren gave him a speechless look.

"The fifth level..."

Liu Zhufeng refused to give up, looked at Yi Ren amusedly, and Xu Xu said, "You said, even if He Lanxue passed the third level by luck, can he pass the fourth level?"

The implication is: what exactly is He Lanxue's concentration.

Yi Ren didn't answer, but just repeated the question just now: "The fifth level..."

Liu Zhufeng expressed with his eyes, 'You are so boring', and then said solemnly: "The fifth level is probably the most difficult."

"how?"

"The name I gave to the fifth level is: Longtan and Tiger's Cave Hell on Earth, Undoubted Death," Liu Zhufeng exaggeratedly threw out a name, and then—then—shut up.

Yi Ren still looked at him earnestly, waiting for the next article.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhufeng just stopped talking, looking very calm and relaxed.

Yi Ren's face was black.

"What is the fifth level?" She had to ask again with great effort.

"That's it." Liu Zhufeng said calmly with a look of 'I've already answered it', "It's something that is sure to die, He Lanxue can't hide it."

"Then, is there a way to get the Xinghai Stone without participating in the competition?" Yi Ren was speechless for a moment, then blinked and asked.

"Yes, go and steal."

"How and where to steal it?" Yi Ren asked calmly.

"Actually, the location has been made public. It's in the pool in the Sifang Hall where you used to live. However, that pool has been improved by me, and there are organs everywhere. Anyone who makes a move on it will be courting death." About this One point, Liu Zhufeng is very confident.

"Oh." Yi Ren's expression darkened for a moment, and he asked nazily, "Is it really impossible to solve it?"

"It can be cracked." Liu Zhufeng also replied calmly: "I left a flaw, and those who know the flaw can get in - if it's too perfect, no one will try it, wouldn't it be too boring? ?”

He was afraid of being bored, and Liu Zhufeng involuntarily shuddered when he thought of the ten-year special training he had been locked in a cave by someone.

"Then, where are the flaws in the mechanism?" Yi Ren's eyes lit up, and he asked again.

"I only tell my lover about such a private matter, not even my friends." Liu Zhufeng replied seriously: "We don't know each other well, why should I tell you?"

Yi Ren fell silent, lowered his head, stopped talking, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Zhufeng didn't care, he patted her on the back and yelled: "Let's go and see He Lanxue."

When she came to the place where He Lanxue lived, it was already very late, and Liu Zhufeng was like a magician with a random door, who could appear anywhere he wanted.

When Yi Ren got out of the tunnel, he found himself on He Lanxue's bed.

The bed board can be turned over.

The two of them squatted together on the brocade with three layers of curtains, Liu Zhufeng lifted a corner of the curtain, grabbed Yi Ren's shoulders, and pushed the listless Yi Ren in front of them, Yi Ren was almost sitting in his arms, revealing Looking at the two people in the hallway through the bright lights outside.

He Lanxue changed into home clothes. The thin silk shirt was tied with a green jade belt, her hair was loosely tied on her right shoulder, and she leaned on the chair a little idly. There is a kind of indescribable elegance and nobility, which is not to be ignored at all.

Yi Jian stood obediently behind him.

At this moment, He Lanxue was flipping through a letter that had just been delivered. He glanced at it very quickly, and then his face changed slightly.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Yi Jian who was at the side asked worriedly.

"The Queen Mother is critically ill." He Lanxue said four words softly, with an extremely complicated expression.

Yi Jian was startled.

The Empress Dowager of Heaven, too many people have forgotten her existence. Since Helan Wuxia passed away, she also became a monk, leaving behind three sons to fight for each other.In five years, she hadn't been out of the temple gate once, even when her sons went to pay their respects, she was lukewarm, and when He Lanchun suppressed He Lanxue, she also let it go, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Gradually, the relationship between mother and child became indifferent.

But upon hearing the news that she was critically ill, He Lanxue still felt that she couldn't control herself. Although she didn't show much on the surface, she suddenly became dazed.

"What is the prince's decision?" Yi Jian naturally understood his prince's mood at the moment, and asked again.

"...I can only settle the matter here first, and then rush back as soon as possible." He Lanxue hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Fortunately, the conference will be held tomorrow."

"Does the lord really intend to win this meeting and marry the Queen of the Ice Kingdom?" Yi Jian said perplexedly: "Besides, even if the queen mother is critically ill, the lord should not rush back——He Lanchun hates the lord so much now, if the lord returns to the capital , that is the sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

"That's not true. The Celestial Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. If I go back to fulfill my filial piety, my elder brother won't embarrass me—if there is really an act of embarrassing me, I will fight back and won't let him play around." He Lanxue didn't really care. Worried about this problem, it was Yi Jian's previous doubts that made him embarrassed.

Are you really planning to marry Leng Yan?

He has already agreed to Leng Yan, and this is the only way to solve everything - even if it is risking his own life, at least he must save Yi Ren.

Tomorrow is the meeting, how should he decide?

He Lanxue kept rubbing the letter with her fingers, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Yi Ren behind the bed curtain was also lost in thought.

For some reason, when she realized that He Lanxue was going to marry Leng Yan after all, she felt a little uncomfortable.

As if something was missing.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything to see." Liu Zhufeng next to him suddenly said, and then urged: "Why don't we go back first and take you to the conference tomorrow? That conference should be very interesting, and it's a rare event in a hundred years."

"Can I go out and meet A Xue?" Yi Ren suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhufeng eagerly.

Liu Zhufeng was going to refuse outright, but when he lowered his head and saw Yi Ren's eyes, he suddenly felt an unbearable illusion.

Her expectation seemed so sincere and urgent, as if letting her down was a great sin.

"Okay, but it's only half an hour." Liu Zhufeng scratched his head and said to himself, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."Then he lifted the bed curtain and broke into the hall together with Yi Ren.

The sound of their entry obviously alarmed the two people inside. Yi Jian and He Lanxue looked at this side at the same time. The first thing they saw was Liu Zhufeng, who cupped his hands indiscriminately and said with a serious smile: "Young Master An Wumao, it's not me who wants to break in, it's the one behind."

Then, He Lanxue saw Yiren crawling down from the couch with her hands and feet tied.

"Yi Ren..." He Lanxue was taken aback for a moment, and the hostility that had arisen just now disappeared without a trace.

Yi Ren scratched his head in embarrassment, then looked at him with a smile.

He Lanxue also smiled lightly, and didn't ask how she suddenly appeared here, but just walked over and stopped in front of her, very happy.

"It's only half an hour. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." Realizing that he was being ignored, Liu Zhufeng quickly made a sound to prove his existence.

He Lanxue then turned her head, looked at Liu Zhufeng, with a calm expression, and said, "You are Liu Zhufeng."

Liu Zhufeng was a little surprised, "Have we never met before?"

"For a person who can detect such gods and ghosts and has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, He Lan can't think of a second choice other than the young master of Liuyuan who is chasing the wind. Moreover, it is said that the young master, as the queen's distinguished guest, has been lingering in the ice palace." It's been a long time, and I've known the layout of the Ice Palace very well, so it's not surprising that I can appear here. Besides, the young master has a peculiar appearance, and even in front of me, he can behave so calmly and confidently, except for Liu Yuan who is so indifferent I am afraid that there is no other place where the young master can have such a carefree personality." He Lanxue flattered her flattery.

Flow by the wind is very useful.Smiling and bluntly accept all the orders.

But then, after a second thought: No, the last sentence, why is it like He Lanxue boasting?

What does it mean, 'Even in front of him, you can still act confidently', so is He Lanxue such a great person?
It's nothing more than being more beautiful...

Liu Zhufeng was a little annoyed, and was planning to find trouble with He Lanxue, but he saw that He Lanxue had already dragged Yi Ren to the other side.

"It's only half an hour!" Liu Zhufeng yelled to that side a little unwillingly, and then walked out the door resentfully.

He still has eyesight, and he can't do things that obstruct people's eyes.

When he walked to the door, Liu Zhufeng raised his head and saw that Yi Jian was still standing there like a statue, he immediately smirked, patted Yi Jian's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Dude, don't you want to disturb your family?" Is it a good thing for the prince?"

"What's the good thing?" Yi Jian looked at him inexplicably, and asked dully.

Liu Zhufeng's face was full of black lines, "You are so stupid, you say you are standing here, what can the young couple say to you?"

"Young couple?" Yi Jian was even more confused: "Why can't the lord and the concubine talk to each other while I'm standing here?"
