[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

"Women are those who please themselves," Concubine Yin De said in a soft voice as she stood next to Li Yuan, "My concubine doesn't understand what Mr. Lin said, and I only know how to paint the makeup that His Majesty likes, cook His Majesty's favorite dishes, and play His Majesty's favorite dishes." The song I love to listen to, the concubine just wants to make His Majesty happy... If there is any selfishness in the concubine, then the concubine's selfishness is to hope that the concubine will like the concubine more and look at the concubine more..."

"Your majesty," Concubine Yin De looked up at Li Yuan, her eyes were full of tears: "A few days ago, you really scared the concubine... If you put all your heart and soul into pleasing the emperor, you will make the emperor hate you, then the concubine, really... I don't know what I should do with my life. Your Majesty, please... don't get tired of my concubine, I'm really afraid..."

Li Yuan caressed her long hair and sighed: "How could it be? How could I get tired of you?"

Concubine Yin De put her head on Li Yuan's knee, and said in a low voice: "The concubine knows that the concubine's family has caused trouble for His Majesty, causing His Majesty to lose peace with the King of Qin, and the matter of Sister Zhang, which also upsets His Majesty... Please don't Blame us, we just have no one else to rely on. We are in the deep palace, and our family members have been wronged. Who else can we turn to except His Majesty? If His Majesty doesn't like it, we won't say anything in the future, that's all. .”

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Don't think about it, your father's matter, didn't I take the lead for you? Shimin was also punished by me to reflect at home."

Concubine Yin De gave a happy "hmm" and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you won't listen to Mr. Lin's words next time and come to alienate us, will you? I was really frightened when I heard them talking about this...how could it be?" Is there such a bad person? There are so many people in His Majesty's harem, who have no grievances with him..."

Li Yuan interrupted: "Don't mention him!"

Concubine Yin De froze.

Li Yuan's expression faded: "You... are different people. You don't need to be compared with him."

One is the green pines and verdant cypresses growing on the lonely cliffs, with their heads raised and their chests straightened up, stretching their branches and leaves towards the endless sky.

One is a vine that only knows how to climb, trying its best to entangle the object of its attachment, to please him, to curry favor with him, and to absorb everything they want from him.

There's no need to be compared with him... Or, they don't deserve to be compared with him at all?

Concubine Yin De bit her red lips, she was still too impatient, Lin Ruo had a stubborn temper, there was no progress at Dali Temple, if it dragged on, the emperor might soften his heart first, so she had no choice but to start here, not thinking It seemed to have the opposite effect.

But in his mouth, he said a cute "um", and looked up again, only to see that Li Yuan's eyes had long since lost his shadow, and he was staring out of the window in a daze, with a gloomy look on his face, thinking of someone.

Lin Ruo!

Concubine Yin De gritted her teeth and was about to speak when there was a noise outside the door: "Stop! Your Majesty has orders..."

"Get out of the way!"

When the sound of fighting came, Concubine Yin De shrank back towards Li Yuan, hid beside him, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Qin won't be here..."

While speaking, Li Shimin's figure appeared at the door and strode in.

"Presumptuous!" Li Yuan was furious, and said, "You scoundrel, you want to rebel, don't you? If you dare to trespass on my Taiji Palace now, do you want to put the sword on my neck tomorrow?"

Li Shimin didn't seem to have heard Li Yuan's words, stopped five steps in front of him, looked at Li Yuan, his eyes were slightly red, but his voice was extremely calm: "Xiaoshu is dead."

"Little book..." It took Li Yuan a moment to realize who Xiaoshu was. The appearance of that little bookboy Lin Ruo was used to, who was lively and open-mouthed, could go up the mountain to hunt birds and go down to the water. The fish, and the boy who is good at cooking... are dead?

Feeling a little confused for no reason, he was very clear about Xiaoshu's position in the young man's heart, he said he was a domestic servant, but in the young man's heart, he was probably doting on him like a younger brother...

Concubine Yin De laughed lightly, and said: "It is rumored that His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Lin Ruo have a deep friendship, it is indeed not a lie, Qin Wang did not hesitate to break into the Taiji Palace for him..."

Li Shimin didn't even look at her, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, Xiaoshu's suicide note, do you want to read it?"

Li Yuan's hands trembled slightly.

Li Shimin's tone was still calm, with forbearance: "Xiaoshu is dead, Lin Ruo doesn't know what to do. My father gave the order to die, and my people can't see him, but since Xiaoshu is dead, he probably won't be much better Go, or already be turned into a corpse somewhere...Father, there is only one Lin Ruo in this world, you'd better not regret it, don't regret it!"

"Father, I really don't understand, I haven't understood, I really don't understand," Li Shimin's voice gradually became more and more intense, and tears welled up in his red eyes: "The person who met Lin Ruo is you, drink and chat with him , You are the one playing chess and fishing, why do you prefer to believe the nonsense of these people who have never even met him before, rather than judge with your own heart, think with your own brain, and use your own mouth Go ask!"

He is his son, he grew up by his side, and he has been with him longer than anyone else, but as his father, he would rather learn about his son from Concubine Yin De, Zhang Jieyu, and Pei Ji. Never willing to go to see him, listen to him say a word!No matter how much he does for him, for Datang!

He was in the gentle town, in the singing and dancing, listening to those people slandering his son, but never thought that his son was fighting bloody battles on the battlefield to protect his singing and dancing...

Li Shimin stretched out his hand, wiped away the uncontrollable tears streaming down his face, turned around and left.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, and Li Yuan shouted repeatedly: "Come on, drive Dali Temple! Call the imperial physician!"

-

In front of the gate of Dali Temple, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who had arrived almost at the same time, looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. No one thought that things would turn out like this, and no one thought that that person's bones were so hard this level.

Li Yuanji shrugged his shoulders, his eyes were indifferent, no matter what, how could his father use his son for the sake of a mere Lin Ruo?

Before they had time to speak, the two quickened their pace to catch up behind Li Yuan, just in time for the jailer to open the cell door tremblingly.

Li Yuanji took a look at the appearance in the room, chuckled lightly and said, "Ha, you have a good life!"

Clean and tidy room, no strange smell and no mosquitoes, the square table mountain in the room is full of delicacies, such as Xianglu whole chicken, fairy duck, Longjing shrimp, Dongting golden turtle... There is also a half bowl of fragrant egg soup, His meal in Prince Qi's Mansion was nothing more than that.

Everything is fine except... damn hot.

Li Yuanji flapped his folding fan irritably, but the wind blown by the folding fan was always hot.

No one paid attention to him, and everyone's eyes fell on the young man in white sitting on the bed.

The young man was leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, his long and straight eyelashes lowered quietly, looking quiet and peaceful, and his long hair, which was simply tied with a headband, was quietly hanging down and scattered on his shoulders.There was an open book beside the boy's hanging hand, as if he was tired of reading and just fell asleep like that.

Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, coughed dryly, and said, "Lin Ruo, the father came to see you, why don't you hurry up and pick him up?"

There was no response, Li Jiancheng was a little embarrassed, and was about to speak again, when Li Shimin stepped forward and gently shook the young man's shoulder: "Ah Ruo? Father is here, wake up... Ah Ruo? Ah Ruo!"

The boy's body slid limply in the opposite direction, Li Shimin hurriedly supported him, and stretched his fingers tremblingly towards his nose, his voice sounded a little flustered: "Ah Ruo? A Ruo? Imperial physician! Imperial physician, come quickly, Why is he so cold!"

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to feel the pulse, Li Yuan's face was so heavy that water dripped down his face, Li Jiancheng looked at the jailer and said angrily, "What's going on!"

The jailer knelt down in a panic, Li Yuanji coughed lightly, and glanced at the food on the table. The jailer swallowed his saliva and stammered, "The past few days... Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin has been refusing to eat, probably... I'm hungry..."

Li Yuanji let out a "ha" and said with a smile: "It turns out that I started to imitate women's hunger strike. Tsk tsk, this talented Lin is really stubborn. Such a big table of good food makes me greedy. He I can bear it..."

The imperial physician wiped off his sweat, but did not dare to look up at anyone, and said: "Looking at the pulse, it doesn't seem like you are hungry..."

Seeing him hesitating, Li Yuan was very impatient: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"It's thirsty." The imperial doctor said, "This room is too hot, and he hasn't drank water for a long time, so it's like this... Fortunately, we came in time, and if it was later, we might not be able to save him... Hurry up and find some water." Give him water to drink, and change another place, you can't stay here..."

Li Yuan said angrily: "Hurry up and find water!"

He rushed to the dining table himself, only to find that on the dining table, there were fish and meat, vegetables and soup, but there was no water, not even a kettle or bowl to hold it...

Li Yuan's hands trembled. He understood why this young man barely touched a table of delicious dishes. He was not on a hunger strike, but... there was no water...

In such a hot place, there is no water, not even a drop of water...

He was about to get angry when he heard Li Jiancheng happily say: "There is water here!"

Turning around, I saw Li Jiancheng picked up the inkstone pot on the desk and handed it to the imperial physician. The imperial physician took it with both hands and lifted the lid, but his expression became a little hesitant.

Li Shimin snatched the inkstone pot impatiently, and was about to hand it to Lin Ruo's lips, but his expression suddenly changed, and he threw the thing on the ground hard.

With a "bang", broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere, and an unpleasant stench permeated...

Li Yuan was trembling with anger, he threw his foot towards the jailer, with a grim expression: "I killed you!"

He was angry, and he wanted to ask clearly, but he never thought of humiliating him like this, even if he really deceived himself...

These people deliberately put him in this kind of place, and deliberately refused to give him a drop of water, just to force him to drink this kind of thing...

How dare they?How dare!

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me!" The jailer got up again after being kicked away, kowtowing again and again: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the little ones are just following orders...Your Majesty, the little ones, the little ones have merit! Mr. Lin has a tough temper and asked for it several times." After no one was willing to give me the water, I stopped asking for it. It was the younger one who gave him half a bowl of water every morning when Mr. Lin was asleep, so that he could live to this day... Your Majesty, the younger one has merit, please forgive me ! Spare me!”

He can live until now...

Li Yuan was dizzy for a while, and Li Jiancheng hurriedly supported him. Finally, someone found water from outside. The imperial doctor wet the young man's lips first, fed him a few mouthfuls carefully, and said: "People who are thirsty for a long time can't drink water, they can only slow down. Drink it slowly, it's better to add some salt, and Mr. Lin hasn't eaten much in the past few days..."

He also has a big head. He came to treat injuries and brought all kinds of medicines, but he didn't bring food or drink.

Li Yuan handed half a bowl of soup on the table to the imperial physician, and said, "Is this okay?"

The imperial physician took it respectfully and said, "Let me take a look."

At this moment, the young man's spleen and stomach are very weak, and many things cannot be eaten.

The conditions are limited, and he doesn't care much at the moment, the imperial doctor tasted it himself, and his expression suddenly became strange.

Li Yuan didn't know that there must be another famous place in it, so he snatched it away, ignored Li Jiancheng's obstruction, took a sip himself, and immediately sprayed it out again.

Salty, bitter and salty, it makes people feel that there is more salt than water in this bowl of soup.

Li Yuan kicked over the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Pei Ji!"

Thanks to him trusting him so much, I heard him say that although this person is in prison, he eats delicious food and drink, and no one dares to treat him badly. He said that he just refused to speak, as if he was sure that His Majesty would be soft-hearted... He also believed it. He never imagined that the so-called delicious food was actually such a thing!

The imperial physician tremblingly said: "Let's go out from here first, and then find some porridge for Mr. Lin to drink when we get outside."

Li Shimin said lightly: "Let's go!"

Li Shimin bent down and took the boy into his arms. When he was about to hug him, he saw Lin Ruo's eyelashes fluttering a few times, then opened his eyes, and said happily, "Ah Ruo, are you awake? How do you feel?"

He smiled bitterly again, and said: "It's my fault. If I didn't invite you to drink together, maybe this disaster would not have happened..."

Lin Ruo closed her eyes, rested for a while, and then opened them again. After seeing the people around her clearly, she set her eyes on Li Yuan, who was standing in front of her with a complex expression.

Seeing the young man's gloomy eyes, and thinking of his happy and carefree appearance in the past, Li Yuan let out a long sigh, and the anger and suspicion towards him in his heart had long been replaced by pity, and said: "This matter is just a matter of time." Let's go on like this, you will take good care of it, no matter what the facts are, I will always treat you and..."

The young man looked at him quietly, his eyes were calm, neither grateful nor moved. Under the young man's gaze, Li Yuan suddenly felt that he could not continue. His lips moved a few times, but he did not continue.

Lin Ruo closed her eyes again, opened them, and said calmly, "I'm asking you."

Due to the lack of water, the boy's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly utter a sound, but he spoke every word clearly and resolutely.

I ask you.

All eyes are on the young man, it's just that you "didn't know" the identity of His Majesty before, but you should know now, right?Why are you still so rude?

Seeing that Lin Ruo took a break, he continued, his voice was dry and slow: "Do I know your identity, it's very important?"

nonsense!

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, he knew the identity of His Majesty, but lied to him, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!Playing with the emperor like this, beheading is easy, do you think it is important?

Li Shimin's thoughts were similar to Li Yuanji's. He was thinking about how to persuade Li Yuan with a wry smile, but Li Yuan stood frozen on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

Do I know your identity, is it important?

This may be very important to others, but this person is Lin Ruo, he is Lin Ruo...

That Lin Ruo who regarded the other party as a bosom friend just because of the melody of the qin, met each other with the qin for half a year, but didn't see each other, didn't even ask, and didn't even inquire about the name and age...

This is Lin Ruo who makes friends with piano and painting. When he makes friends with people, he only cares about the identity of others.

In retrospect, their acquaintance was always on their own initiative, and they tried their best to "coincidentally" meet him under the wisteria tree, visiting him again and again...

With this person's nature, if he doesn't mention his identity, he won't ask. Isn't this the most normal thing?Why would he feel suspicious?

He doesn't ask for anything from him, he doesn't want officials or money, he has never concealed his laziness and lack of ambition in front of him, all he thinks about all day is playing and eating, and he will indulge in fortune-telling and divination without doing business. ...

He has no fear of him, he is full of pride, he is the one who would rather die of heat and thirst in this furnace-like place than beg for a sip of dirty water...

For such a person, he would do everything possible to curry favor with him and curry favor with him?

So what if he knew his identity?He didn't care about these in the first place.That person, who originally lived outside this world of mortals, was so clean that it made one feel ashamed...

He himself tried every means to conceal his identity, but in the end, did he blame others for knowing his identity but not revealing it?

From the beginning to the end, the person who cared about his identity was precisely Li Yuan himself. He deceived himself and told himself that he wanted a real acquaintance, a true confidant, but in the end, he never let go of his identity...

The young man looked at him, with unprecedented indifference in his dim eyes, and Li Yuan clearly read its meaning: You are the emperor, so I regard you as my bosom friend, do you regard me as a running dog?

"Ah Ruo, this..."

just a misunderstanding...

He couldn't speak.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan with incredulous eyes: His father must be a demon, the crime of deceiving the emperor, such a big matter, this kid asked so impolitely, his father was ashamed and ashamed to reveal this. What's the matter with the look of embarrassment?

"Because I drank with the King of Qin?" Lin Ruo looked at Li Yuan and sneered, his voice was still slow and weak but clear: "I can drink with whomever I want... none of your business!"

none of your business!

Since I can make friends with you, why can't I make friends with King Qin?Since I can drink with you, why can't I drink with King Qin?

It's none of your business who I drink with!

But he, Li Yuan, not only took care of him, but also locked up and tortured people so that life would be worse than death, and, really... dead.

The king of a country should be furious when he was insulted like this, but Li Yuan looked at the dying young man, and he couldn't feel any anger at all - so what if he got angry?People are not afraid of him.

"Ah Ruo," Li Shimin sighed, "Let's go out from here first."

"What about the little book?"

Li Shimin was silent.

Lin Ruo had an ominous premonition in his heart, looked at Li Yuan, and said angrily, "Where's Xiaoshu?"

Li Yuan dodged his gaze.

"Xiaoshu..." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then said, "...he's gone."

Little book... gone?

A piece of torn skirt was gently placed on Lin Ruo's knee, Lin Ruo felt dizzy and couldn't see anything clearly.

"Aruo? Aruo!"

Little book, gone.

Lin Ruo bowed his head and laughed: Maybe it was because his life in the past ten years was too peaceful and comfortable. He thought that the world was peaceful and orderly, and that he could live his life freely, so he was always naive, Spending time in this world without a sense of crisis, leisurely and carefree.Even if there is an occasional change, just let it go as a joke.

He always does not offend me and does not offend others, thinking that in this way, disputes can be avoided. However, this world is not a reasonable world. It is full of power everywhere, and there are many people who want to step on you for no reason.

He thought that no matter what his status was, as long as he had similar interests, he would be able to interact with each other as equals, but in fact, as long as one of them was unhappy, he would be in a dilemma between life and death.

This incident, as he said to Xiaoshu, was just a farce, and because it was a farce, he didn't do anything unnecessary.

Even now, in his opinion, this is still a ridiculous farce, but it is this farce that tortured him so much that he would rather die, it is this farce that killed Xiaoshu...

You should wake up, Lin Ruo, this world is not as harmless as you think.

With trembling hands, he slowly opened the front of his clothes, and there were dense purple-brown writing on it, the color was thick and almost sticky, just one glance, it seemed that there was a pungent bloody smell blowing towards his face.Thinking that the half-grown child who left these handwritings with blood has turned into a cold corpse, the bloody smell is even stronger, making it hard to breathe.

Xiaoshu's letter was naturally addressed to him, and it could only be addressed to him.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, Xiaoshu didn't listen to you this time... You let Xiaoshu suffer, endure, and wait for you to save me, but Xiaoshu can't go on anymore, Xiaoshu is afraid of pain...It hurts... "

"Xiaoshu is afraid of pain, and Xiaoshu is even more afraid that if he can't stand the pain, he will do things that he will never forgive himself in this life, so Xiaoshu leaves first. Young Master, Xiaoshu will only be disobedient this time in his life. Don't be angry with Xiaoshu..."

"Xiaoshu knows that this is shameless. Xiaoshu is stupid and reckless. He always causes trouble for the young master. This time, he caused a catastrophe and hurt the young master. But young master... If there is a next life, Xiaoshu still wants to follow you .If there is reincarnation in this world, Xiao Shu closes his eyes and then opens them again, and there is another young master in front of him, that would be great..."

"My lord, after the little book is gone, you ask the master to find you a new book boy. Don't choose it yourself, my lord. You are too soft-hearted to pick a good one. It doesn't mean that the more pitiful you are, the better you can serve others...You let the master choose one." , the master knows how to pick people, remember to ask Mother Chen to teach him how to cook after you choose, you like to run around and have a tricky mouth, what if he can't cook..."

"Young master, you should change your habit of making friends randomly in the future! Even if you want to make friends, you can't be so confused anymore. Yunniang is like this, and the old man is like this... Those people keep asking me if I know Who is that old man, I wonder if it is related to him that we went to prison, maybe that old man is a Turkic spy..."

"Young Master, don't worry about Xiaoshu, let alone do anything for Xiaoshu. Born in troubled times, there are more than ten million people who are more miserable than Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu is by your side. He has never been hungry or wronged for more than ten years. He is already better than Xiaoshu." Countless people are lucky. As the young master said, we are just little people, what else can we do besides accepting it..."

"My lord, time is running out. Xiaoshu is going to go to the wall now, draw a big 'grievance', and then leave. I don't know if this will help you, but Xiaoshu is stupid, so I can only think of it. This method..."

"Young master, I was suddenly very scared, very scared. Xiaoshu is not afraid of death, but Xiaoshu is afraid of being alone... At this moment, I hate you. You said let me wait for you, but why don't you come? Why don't you come?" Come……"

"Young master, in that world, I will continue to wait for you, okay, 100 years, 200 years, it doesn't matter how many years, please come to me, please, come to me..."

The author has something to say: No matter which world he is in, the hero is not invincible, he just has his own character and the talent of the original owner.In the second world, the reason why he possessed heaven-defying strength was because he was stimulated to erupt once, mobilizing part of his own strength. In the end, Qin Ge's body also collapsed because he couldn't bear this strength.
