Road to South Africa

Waking up the next day, South Africa found two strange faces in the dormitory, and was suspicious for a while, but after listening to Zhao Cheng's words, he didn't think much about it. After changing clothes, he went straight to Xiao Yuan's room to visit Xiao Yuan.

The scratch on Xiao Yuan’s back seemed serious at the beginning, but Mrs. Li took care of her and changed her dressing every day. After a few days, it was almost healed and she didn’t feel anything unusual. It’s just that the wound scabbed and wanted to return to its original state. But it still takes some time.

Xiao Yuan was fine, and South Africa was naturally relieved.

Xiao Yuan pulled up his clothes and smiled at him: "You can see that it's all scabbed, it's really all right."

South Africa nodded: "In the future, don't be like this, what if something happens again? Li Yong is gone, if you..."

"No way." Grabbing South Africa's hand, Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it's fine. Besides, it's just a little scratch, and it's not a serious matter."

South Africa sighed deeply, stared at Xiao Yuan's appearance, and suddenly stopped talking.

Xiao Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him, but felt that South Africa's sudden silence made him feel a little startled, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to pull back South Africa's thoughts: "By the way, did you find out why the cat went crazy that day?"

South Africa shook his head: "Who knows, when Sui Qing caught him, he was still nestling in Sui Qing's arms obediently, he didn't look crazy at all" but he just chased after him.

Xiao Yuan sighed: "In the past, I heard the old man say that these cats and dogs are the most intelligent. If they go crazy for no reason, apart from being sick, they just saw things they shouldn't see, so..."

"Something you shouldn't see?" South Africa was surprised.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "These are all rumors, who knows if they are true or not, but you have to be careful in the future, don't get close to these cats and dogs at will."

South Africa nodded and continued to speak, his thoughts seemed to drift a little.

Seeing that he started to lose his mind again, Xiao Yuan was afraid that he would suddenly fall ill, so he quickly reached out to hold him back: "South Africa...you..."

"What's wrong?" South Africa looked down at him.

Xiao Yuan was suspicious: "What are you thinking?"

South Africa sighed softly: "I'm thinking about Doudou..."

Xiao Yuan was stunned.

South Africa lowered his eyelids, avoiding Xiao Yuan's gaze: "Xiao Yuan, tell me... did the cat that day... see Dou..."

"No." Xiao Yuan was flustered by what he said, and quickly interrupted: "Doudou is dead. The old people say that after death, people will go to reincarnation. Doudou is so young that he can't stay here." In this world..."

South Africa was bored for a long time before opening his mouth hoarsely: "Yeah...he's still so young...he's still young..."

Why did the topic go around Doudou?

Xiao Yuan was a little anxious: "South Africa! You can't think about it anymore! Doudou is dead, no matter how young he is, you can't get sick again at this time. If you let others know about your past, don't talk about you. With me, both master and madam will be killed!"

"I know..." Taking a deep breath, South Africa's brows were tightened, and his eyes were a little red: "It's been so many days, I've figured it out a long time ago, and I won't run away from the fact that Doudou is gone, but in my heart I just can't let it go, I'm not reconciled... They killed my child and prevented him from being buried in the ground after death, but now they are still living so freely, I..."

Listening to South Africa's words clearly, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was depressed, and for a while, he held South Africa's hand tightly and persuaded: "Don't worry, they will have retribution, you see we are now Aren't they all in the palace? It's so close to the people who can execute them, as long as the emperor is willing, none of the people in the Lin Palace can escape, but before that we have to take good care of ourselves and take care of ourselves!"

He tightened his brows, and after a while, South Africa spoke again, but what he asked made Xiao Yuan a little worried.

"Doudo's previous clothes and padded jacket are all yours, right?"

"You..." Xiao Yuan looked at him warily.

South Africa sighed: "Don't worry, I just want to burn the clothes and use them to make a tomb for Doudou, so that he can take refuge..." Then he said with a wry smile: "He has been dead for so long, I have never set up a sign for him, and he will definitely be angry, hating my father for ignoring his return these days..."

Xiao Yuan was shocked: "You...do you want to do it here?"

South Africa didn't answer, just said: "I won't let him leave me again"

Xiao Yuan wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only swallow the words back.

That day... the way Doudou cried and wanted her father to hug her was really distressing, and Xiao Yuan couldn't say a word if she objected.

Decided to let Doudou return to his place, Xiao Yuan turned out Xiao Yuan's previous clothes and padded jacket in fear. Although he didn't want to give it to South Africa, he was even more afraid that if he didn't follow him, it would be even worse if Doudou couldn't return to his place. make him sad.

The clothes that Xiao Yuan dug out of the box were no longer the same as they were before. To appease South Africa, they were bundled into the shape of a baby, and they were scattered one by one. The small clothes were placed on the bed in a delicate and Cute, as endearing as his former little master.

Standing by the bed, South Africa quietly stared at these little clothes, his eyes got wet after a while.

The split trousers always love to show Doudou's white and tender butt.

The material of the goose yellow underwear is smooth, and at the neckline, Doudou always likes to bite and play with it when she is naughty.

It seems... It seems that Doudou's eyes, that naughty and clever look are still in front of me...

"South Africa...you..." Xiao Yuan watched and wanted to collect the clothes.

South Africa stopped him: "I know, it's going to burn in a while anyway, let me watch it for a while...it'll be fine in a while..."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Zhao Cheng suddenly leaned over and came in from the door: "Servant..." He wanted to speak, but he was stunned because South Africa was staring at the small clothes on the bed.

Xiao Yuan sighed, pulled Zhao Cheng aside and asked him secretly: "Guan Zhao, do you need a servant for anything?"

Zhao Cheng leaned over and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, Master Zheng Min, a painter from the Imperial Academy, is begging to see you..."

As soon as he heard that the elder brother from South Africa had come, Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Of course we quickly brought him in." At this time, Zheng Min's company is better than being with him by himself.

Zhao Cheng nodded and turned to go out. After a while, a person came in by the door. It was Zheng Min, the elder brother of South Africa.

Zheng Min is now in his early twenties. He traveled around in the early years, but now somehow he has become a painter in the Imperial Academy. Originally, his brother had to go back on the day of his marriage, but he couldn't get away because he was entangled. , That's why I missed the time, and when I heard about my younger brother, I realized that my younger brother had become a servant.

When he came to the house, the first thing Zheng Min saw was his younger brother staring at the bed in a daze and weeping. He turned his eyes and looked again, and found that they were all small clothes. Why keep these things, why not let them go with him and stay with him?"

South Africa was taken aback, turned his head, and looked at the person standing beside him, although he was wearing a formal court dress, but his hair was tied with a jade hairpin, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Brother...you..."

Zheng Min stared at South Africa's pale face, and walked towards him step by step: "Long time no see, you've lost weight..."

"Big... big brother...?" South Africa stared at him blankly, his eyes full of surprise and suspicion: "Why did you come back here?"

Zheng Min chuckled: "Now that I am a painter in the palace, naturally I can go anywhere. It is not difficult to come to see you, and it is much more convenient than your second brother." I have heard from my parents that I have wronged you..."

South Africa shook his head: "It's over, it's just..." Frowning, South Africa lowered his eyes, and his eyes were moist.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Min sighed softly: "Forget it, since you can't let it go, then I will give you something, and Xiaoyuan's four treasures will serve you."

Xiao Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly asked people to prepare.

South Africa didn't know what the eldest brother wanted to do, so he just wiped his eyes and temporarily forced himself not to look at those clothes.

Zheng Min suddenly picked up Doudou's clothes, glanced at them in his hands, and asked South Africa, "Are these Doudou's clothes?"

South Africa nodded: "It's all worn by him..."

Zheng Min nodded, walked to the table and picked up the pen suddenly, but he was asking South Africa about Doudou's affairs, and asked every detail in detail.

Xiao Yuan was listening anxiously, always feeling that Zheng Min was digging South Africa's wounds, unexpectedly after a while, Zheng Min suddenly stopped writing and said to South Africa: "Come and see, does it look like Doudou?"

South Africa was stunned, hurriedly stepped forward, looked down at the rice paper on the table, but with just one glance, he was a little stunned: "This..."

Suspicious, Xiao Yuan stretched out his head to take a look, and was a little surprised immediately: "This child..."

The child in the painting is wearing the clothes that Zheng Min took just now, lying in the padded jacket, holding his toes and biting his toes. The movement really looks like Doudou's mischievous appearance, and the eyes are also big because he is still there. A bit of aura was lost for the sake of eyeballs.

But even so, the child looked... and seemed to...

Can Zheng Min be able to draw the child's appearance just by dictation?

Not to mention Xiao Yuan couldn't believe it, even South Africa was astonished.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zheng Min knew that he had done the painting correctly, and then took a brush and tapped the paint to light up the eyes of the child, and then... the child in the whole painting seemed to come alive...

Putting down the brush, Zheng Min said with a smile: "I can be a painter in the palace, and my painting skills are naturally not bad, but I don't know this painting, you like it"

South Africa was stunned, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but Zheng Min hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Don't worry, the ink is not dry yet, be careful!"

South Africa was staring blankly at the portrait, seemed a little excited, but could only grab his brother's hand with his backhand, and said in a trembling voice: "Doudou... Doudou... big brother...you...how do you... ..." Before saying the following words, South Africa was completely hoarse.

Zheng Min sighed in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hug South Africa: "I know that giving you this, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, but seeing that you miss Doudou so much, you still can't help it, but you remember that elder brother gave you this painting, not to let you You are uncomfortable, just to let you know that life cannot be resurrected, you can miss Doudou, but you can’t make your parents feel sad because of Doudou, before I entered the palace, my parents told me not to irritate you , I’m afraid you’ll get sick, I just thought that instead of being so cautious, I’d better let you see clearly.”

Taking a handkerchief to wipe South Africa's tears, Zheng Min continued: "I remember Doudou's death that day, your situation at that time, and what Shangguan Haoqi did. Your second brother remembers his father and mother too. We have to settle the accounts sooner or later. You are not the only one who remembers about Doudou, but we also remember that although Lao Lin Wang is a hero who founded the country and cannot touch their Shangguan family for the time being, there is a saying that if you do unrighteous deeds, you will kill yourself , There is always a time when they pay their lives in the causal cycle, but before that, if you go crazy ahead of time because of Doudou, how much meaning is left in all our hard work in the end?"

South Africa nodded, raised his hand and wiped his face red: "I know, I know, I figured it out after I got sick last time, don't worry, brother, I won't do anything stupid, I have to wait to see what they say In the end, I will sacrifice Doudou's spirit in the sky!"

Zheng Min nodded, and patted South Africa on the shoulder: "Then you have to remember from now on, I was the one who gave Shangguan Haoqi the male concubine, not you."

"You..." South Africa was stunned, a little dazed.

Zheng Min just continued: "You are the third younger brother of my Zheng family. Before entering the palace, you have been living in the countryside. Because you have been weak since you were young, you seldom go out, and you don't know anyone in Prince Lin's mansion. As for Doudou, it is not you. Shangguan Haoqi's child is the eldest son of you and the emperor, the eldest prince who died young."

Hearing this at first, South Africa was completely astonished: "This..."

Zheng Min only said: "When has the emperor announced to the world and let Doudou's spiritual seat enter the royal ancestral hall, it's just because you were always sick at that time, so no one came to disturb you."

South Africa was completely stunned: "How is this possible...the emperor...he..." He actually recognized a child who had nothing to do with him or even met him as his own flesh and blood, and even entered the royal ancestral hall?

It's unbelievable.

Zheng Min just nodded: "It's true. Also, I'm here to tell you that King Tiance will return to court in a few days, and Shangguan Haoqi will probably come back by then. At that time, I will Meet him with this face of yours, so don't be too surprised when the time comes, or there will be a flaw, you know?"

South Africa only felt that what he was listening to was foggy.

So what the hell is going on here?
