Since I met you, people are dying every day

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"

Ziqi was awakened by a sudden call, he opened his eyes, and what he saw was a familiar roof, but when he looked around, it was not a familiar palace. "Where am I?"

Eunuch Huang stood with his hands behind his back, and with a serious look, he said in a very strange way: "This is the side hall of Zhongcui Palace. His Highness knelt at the door and passed out. Master ordered the younger one to help His Highness here to rest."

It turned out to be the side hall of Zhongcui Palace.He had lived in the main hall with the prince's brother for so many years, yet he was so unfamiliar with the decorations in the side halls of the palace that he was accustomed to.Brother Prince... Wait, Brother Prince! "Where is Brother Prince? I want to see him!" He hurriedly wanted to get out of bed.

It turned out that he had dreamed about his childhood.This dream is too real, so real that it is within reach.He almost forgot that it was no longer the carefree youth.

Eunuch Huang stepped back half a step and raised his head. His business-like tone finally loosened and turned into a long sigh, and the corners of his eyes and brows were also saddened, "Your Highness, now the master is in danger. There are many people around His Highness with mixed eyes. You should always pay attention. Your Highness is about to be crowned, and you must take care of yourself, don't...don't be so childish anymore."

Eunuch Huang's title changed from "His Royal Highness the Prince" to "Master", as if to remind him again and again that the elder brother of the Prince is no longer the Prince.

Ziqi said at a loss, "Where is my brother...I want to see him."

"Master doesn't want to see you right now, so please go back and rest. Don't ruin your body." Eunuch Huang's refusal finally showed some concern.Ziqi went down to the ground in a daze, and walked out of the side hall, "Thank you Mr. Huang... Eunuch Huang."

The afternoon sun was a little scorching. He knelt alone in front of the gate of Zhongcui Palace and begged to see the abolished prince. Another sting.Zhongcui Palace used to be the busiest palace in the East Six Palaces, and the servants rushed to serve them.Today's Zhongcui Palace is sparsely staffed, and there are only a few houses, only Manager Huang... Eunuch Huang still stays with the prince's brother every step of the way.

No, it can no longer be called that, now his "Brother Prince" should be the one from Wenhua Palace.Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile.His father hasn't asked to make the eldest son the crown prince yet. If he really said so, then the little puppet emperor on the throne would probably bear the humiliation and accept it.It's just that he didn't have the courage to challenge his ancestors to become a law after all, so he only dared to let his eldest son live in Wenhua Palace.

The man in Wenhua Palace is not the elder brother of the prince.Ziqi wouldn't call him that, and he wouldn't agree with him calling it that.Ziqi slowly walked towards his sleeping palace, Xiefang Palace.After entering the palace, how to deal with this son became a concern of his father. Although he never treated him harshly, his attitude was ambiguous, as if he didn't want to admit this son.He couldn't be allowed to live in the Zhongcui Palace anymore, and he couldn't be an eyesore, so he just randomly pointed to a sleeping palace.Everyone in the palace knew that he was not favored by King Xiang and his son, and they all avoided him.

He just wanted to hurry on his way, but he was stopped halfway through the journey.

Ziqi glanced at it, and quickly saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness."

The other party didn't return the salute, and didn't shout, but asked aggressively: "I heard that you went to the Zhongcui Palace again? You didn't even enter the door, and you fainted at the door in embarrassment?"

Ziqi looked a little dazed.It seems that the palace people of Zhongcui Palace are not as loyal as before.

"I'm asking you something alone! Are you dumb?!" Ziqi slowly raised his head, and replied respectfully to his brother who was connected by blood and should be the closest: "His Royal Highness said so."

"Bah!" Shizi spat in his face. "Things that don't have a long memory! Did you ignore everything that the father said?! Tell you not to go to him, people don't want to see you, and you send them to your door over and over again, and you have completely embarrassed our family!"

Who is your family?

Ziqi didn't say it, but he may have expressed his meaning, because His Royal Highness Shizi opposite was quite angry, and slapped him mercilessly.

His Royal Highness has practiced martial arts since childhood.However, Ziqi only learned riding and shooting from the abandoned prince, his thin body suddenly staggered, five finger marks on his pale face turned red.Ziqi covered his face and stood firm, without saying anything.

"Oh, that's right." Shizi was about to walk away, but suddenly he stopped and turned to talk to him, with a weird smile on his face. "You little girl, after my father tasted it, I let Gu also try it. The taste is really good. Your eyesight is not bad, but I don't know if your brother understands pity and cherishes jade?" After he finished speaking, he laughed. gone.

Ziqi closed his eyes abruptly, retching for a while, pain appeared on his face.He was really sick and uncomfortable.That maid, the one who spoke softly, always quietly ran errands for him, and secretly hid good things for him from the imperial dining room.It was he who killed her.

He wanted to vomit, but couldn't vomit, so he had to keep walking.He didn't want to recall the maid's voice and smile, and he didn't even dare to recall her name.He suddenly regretted that he hadn't contradicted him a few more times just now, and letting his good brother beat him hard was more comfortable than this time, making his heart, liver and lungs vomit out.

"Ah, what's the matter with you, Your Highness?" The woman's crisp voice reached his ears, but it disgusted him more than the most filthy words.The court lady who was about to step forward to help was pushed away by him, and a roar came out of her throat: "Stay away from me!"

It's finally here.Xiefang Palace and Zhongcui Palace were so far apart, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Long live Your Majesty!" "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Suddenly there was the sound of mountains and seas knocking in front of them.Ziqi laughed at himself alone, he was really unlucky today, along the way, his friends seemed to guess that he was in a mess, and they all wanted to join in to watch the fun.There was still some distance away, so he simply knelt down, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

The 13-year-old little emperor was still immature in the black five-clawed dragon uniform, "Brother Wang, please get up."

Ziqi stood up.The little emperor pretended to be surprised and said: "What's wrong, Brother Wang? Why are you in such a mess?"

Ziqi said calmly, "I accidentally got a little injury, His Majesty Lao is thinking about it."

The little emperor didn't seem to expect him to be so calm, and his tone became fierce: "Brother Wang was really careless, but did you think of today when he offered advice that day?" He turned around and walked away with big strides. The golden dragon is dazzling.

Ziqi bowed and watched him go away before finally walking back to his bedroom. "Guanzi, take some water to smooth your throat." Guanzi's surname was Guan, and when he arrived in the palace, all but the eunuchs had to change their names, so Ziqi called him Guanzi.

The little eunuch responded, but when he saw him, his face paled in shock, "Your Highness, what's wrong with your face?"

"It's okay, if you have ice, get some, if you don't have any, forget it, is there any ointment to reduce swelling in our palace? I guess my father will send someone to come later, it won't look good if the swelling doesn't go away." Zi Qi said nonchalantly.

Guan Zi was a little nervous, "Your Highness, but did you make the prince unhappy?"

"Get some water." Ziqi avoided talking.The servants in the palace didn't know where they went. They probably wanted to show their faces in front of other palace masters and try to get out of here.Guan Zi was a rare and loyal servant in his deserted Xie Fang Temple, but his mouth was too broken and he was not obedient enough.He used to be a little discouraged and gave up on himself, but no, no, he can't do this, he still has things to do, he secretly clenched his fists.

The hot water flowed down the throat, and finally dispelled the nausea. After applying ice to the face for a while, the father-in-law next to King Xiang came.Ziqi pulled out a smirk, stood up and greeted him, "Grandpa, what do you want my father to do?"

Anyone who is useful to the King of Xiang does not like to go to the Xiefang Palace to spread the word.The one in Xiefang Palace was so buttoned up, he didn't have anything good around him, and he always seemed to put on a show.The father-in-law snorted and said in a drawn-out voice, "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang gave me a jar of ointment. I would like to tell you, please stay away from that one in the future. Your biological father and brother are still there. I have never seen you so close. I won't listen to you again." Please, I can only be buried with that one!"

Funeral.Ziqi's face turned even paler.Trembling, he bowed down and thanked En to accept the reward.The father-in-law thought he was trembling because he was afraid, and he looked down on him more and more. He didn't even ask for a reward, and he didn't even look at the pipe for his tea, so he turned around and left.

Guan Zi stepped forward to help His Highness up, and said indignantly: "Who is he, dare to be so rude to Your Highness!"

"Don't you know who he is? Don't say such things anymore." Ziqi said calmly with a hoarse voice. "Give me medicine."

The tube picked up the ointment and carefully applied it to his master's pale face. "Your Highness, let's stay away from them in the future..."

"Guanzi, you have been with me for three years. If you want to talk nonsense like this again, you don't have to follow me." Guanzi hurriedly knelt down and confessed, Ziqi told him to get up.

He still recalled in his mind the merciless humiliation and slap from his own brother just now, and the undisguised threat and indifference of his biological father.A cold smile slowly appeared on his face.After doing such a disgusting thing, he is still persuading the prince's brother to bow his head to this father and son?No wonder the prince brother didn't want to see him.

The medicine is ready.Ziqi said: "You are familiar with the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Anyone who has two minds and has chewed his tongue behind his back will find an excuse in a few days and make up for it. Let's find someone to make up for it."

"Your Highness, will it be too eye-catching?" Guan Zi asked worriedly.

"The prince will leave the cabinet next month, and he will definitely take the opportunity to change a group of people. You just need to mix in." Ziqi drank two more sips of hot water, and his thoughts gradually became clear.The scene from the dream appeared in front of his eyes again, he clenched his hand on the table, and thought of the old emperor who was seriously ill in despair and remorse, he said silently: I still remember what I promised you before.If I can't save you, I'll be forever restless.

But I will never let that last scene happen.

I will definitely save the life of the prince brother.

One day, I'll make this father and son pay for it.
