Sansheng

Running wildly all the way, the lower two legs wished they could not become wings, so anxious that they fell heavily on the side of the road, and their hands and legs were also broken and bleeding.

Qibao chased him up, helped him up with all his strength, staggered, and finally reached the emperor's bedroom.Seeing the father on the bed with his eyes closed, but his mouth was full of blood, Lin Zhong rushed on him like a lunatic, tears rushing out.

"Father!" Lin Zhong desperately shook the man in front of him, the man who had given him all his father's love since he was a child.That person once gave him the most solid world, the support of all his vitality, and the growth direction of spiritual power. In his eyes, it was a symbol of standing like a mountain forever. How could he fall down?He is the best king in Beili, how could he fall down?But the facts in front of him are cold, just like Lin Yihuan's body cooling down little by little, even if Lin Zhong doesn't want to admit it anymore, he can't deny it and change it.

Fragile, breathless, ever-calm body.

"Guo'er, my little Guo'er, come, come to Father Emperor."

The voices and smiles of childhood, but at this time all came up, and when the father saw him, he would squat down, stretch out his arms, and coax him to go over.

The little feet staggered and walked unsteadily, but hurriedly ran in the direction of that person.Whenever I was about to fall, I would always be picked up by him, held high above my head, laughing happily, and kissed my little cheeks again and again.

His hands are always so big and warm, he can wrap his icy little face in the palm of his hand, and melt away all the cold words and cold words in the palace that have frosted that young heart.

The person he called "Father Emperor" is gone now. In this world, there is no one who can call himself "Father Emperor".

Holding those hands, Lin Zhong felt that his sky had collapsed all of a sudden.

The queen mother stood aside, biting her lip resolutely, but finally couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

"Father, how did Father die!" Lin Zhong cried and asked the imperial physician kneeling next to him.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor's illness should be taken for evacuation, but today the emperor's medicine has been added with strong antiseptic ingredients. At night, the blood sinks and the qi stagnates, so..."

"Who is so courageous to use guns to murder the emperor?!" The Queen Mother asked sharply.

Lin Zhong froze, and the words Chu Ao once said sounded in his mind: "I will definitely find a way."

All of a sudden, he lost his strength and sat on the ground, his face ashen.

The imperial doctor was trembling and hurriedly kowtowed, "Back to the queen mother, the medicine the emperor took yesterday was not prepared by my imperial hospital on a daily basis."

"Yesterday, who sent the medicine to the emperor!" The queen mother turned to the palace people in front of the imperial court with wide eyes.

Thirty or so palace people were so frightened that no one dared to speak.

"Come here! Drag all these palace people out and cut them off!"

As soon as the words fell, the palace people cried and kowtowed and begged for mercy. One of them pointed to Qibao beside Lin Zhong and shouted loudly: "It's him, the person next to the prince, who sent the decoction yesterday!"

Everyone's eyes shot at Lin Zhong and Qibao, but Lin Zhong didn't make any excuses, he couldn't see the crowd, he couldn't hear the sound of Zhou, only Chu Ao said "I will find a way" over and over again, like a curse. It kept lingering in my ears.

On the other hand, Qibao came to the Empress Dowager respectfully, bowed his head and said softly: "Return to the Empress Dowager, it was indeed the medicine sent by the slaves last night, but the medicine was given to His Highness the Crown Prince by General Chu Aochu."

"Oh? So, it really has something to do with the prince and Chu Ao!" The queen mother stared at Lin Zhong in front of her with sharp eyes like a knife.

When he was about to attack, a loud voice shouted outside the hall: "It was all done by me, Chu Ao, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness!"

Following the voice, it was Chu Ao who was running profusely, stopped by the soldiers, and hurriedly defended himself when he heard the Queen Mother's words.

Lin Zhong's gaze went up, full of tears, clearly revealing remorse, I'm afraid, more hate than regret.

"Bold! Do you know that this is a crime of regicide!" the Queen Mother shouted sharply.

"Back to the queen mother, I did boil the medicine, but the medicine did not contain the medicinal ingredients of Zhizhen. Someone must have tampered with the medicine!" Chu Ao stared at Qibao. head off.

"No...it's not good! Concubine Ning An passed out when she heard that the emperor had passed away!" Someone outside suddenly came to report.

Lin Zhong only felt dizzy, limp and weak all over, but he had to drag his body to go out to see his mother with only his breath still in his mouth, but his hand holding the door slipped, and his eyes went dark.

A pair of warm hands supported him, so that he did not fall directly.

It was Chu Ao, with earnest eyes, as if he wanted to say a thousand words to him.

But Lin Zhong pulled himself together, gently knocked off his hand, and walked away alone.

"Come here! Take Chu Ao to the dungeon for me!" The Queen Mother's voice sounded behind her, followed by the sound of golden spears and iron strands, swords clashing, and Chu Ao's shout:

"Guo'er! I was wronged!"

Lin Zhong closed his eyes in pain, but never looked back.

In the prison, Chu Ao's hands and feet were all tightly locked by the shackles and shackles made of the strongest black iron. The whole body was hung, and the weight of the whole body was concentrated on the two wrists.

After several rounds of severe beatings, she passed out several times, but this time, she was suddenly awakened by cold water.

"Chu Ao, someone is here!" The jailer opened the cell door, and footsteps came from the narrow corridor outside the cell.

"Guo'er! Is that you? Guo'er?" Chu Ao suddenly regained his energy and shouted to the outside.

"Guo'er, Guo'er, hee hee..." The dark voice imitated the cry just now, and walked in alone.When he got close to him, he took off the cloak that covered his cheeks.

It was the ever-changing smiling face, like the creepiest mask in the world.

"It's you?" Chu Ao's eyes were bruised and swollen, and the person in front of him was gradually recognized in the blurred vision.

"Are you disappointed? Your Guo'er is ignoring you now, tsk tsk tsk... so pitiful!" Lin Cong patted Chu Ao's face with his hands jokingly, with a look of pity.

"I should have thought it would be you..." Chu Ao gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are Guoer's biological brother, I would not have kept you!"

"Oh, I'm already in prison, and you still dare to say such a thing, do you still think you are some kind of dragonrider general?" Lin Cong didn't think so, and sneered.

"But you are really, really risked your life several times because of that stupid prince. It is because of you that you have sabotaged my plan time and time again, and now the throne has fallen into his hands, otherwise he would have died countless times It's gone!" Lin Cong gradually withdrew his smile, that face, even with handsome features, looked extremely ugly without the decoration of a smile.

"However, you have really caused Lin Zhong a miserable death now. He is now fighting in the Civil and Military Division of the Manchu Dynasty. All the people are shouting to kill you, the regicide. By the way, there is also him. That bitch mother, she is also on our side this time, the bitch said, if he doesn't cut off all ties with you, he will go to guard the mausoleum, and we won't meet him if he is not as good as Huangquan, your fruit, hehehe, I'm afraid I'm ready to die now."

"Guoer!" Hearing Lin Zhong's current situation, Chu Ao suddenly became anxious and struggled hard for the shackles on his body.

"Don't waste your efforts, I specially entrusted someone to do this, it's tailor-made for you! Others don't know, but I know your supernatural powers! You burned the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time. This time I I have to be more careful! I have tried my best to let you and that silly prince!"

"You bastard!" Chu Ao's eyes were filled with anger.

"Well...Actually, I am not as bad as you imagine. I am very kind, and I am very considerate of Guo'er. At the beginning, I suggested to the emperor's grandmother to let him go to war. No matter what happens, he will be ruined for the country The reputation of sacrificing one's life, it's a pity that in the end, you were able to win the battle and be named a general. Do you know how disappointed I was at that time? How to deal with him, later, I figured it out, if I want him to die, I must let you die first!"

After all, he picked up the whip in the corner, swung his arms round, and whipped it with all his strength!

While beating, he cursed: "Aren't you omnipotent! I want to see how good you can be!"

Let the whip fall like raindrops, beating Chu Ao's skin to pieces, he gritted his teeth tightly, until Lin Cong was out of breath and stopped his hand from exhaustion, he didn't even cry out the pain.

"Bones are really hard!" Lin Cong smiled darkly.

"If you want to hit me, beat me to death. If I have a chance to turn over..." Chu Ao only breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were full of unyielding and contempt for him.

"Hehe, do you think I don't want to let you die right now? If it wasn't because it's the royal father's funeral and all executions in the court are suspended, I would definitely not keep your dog's life!"

Looking at Chu Ao, who was weak and gossamer, Lin Cong was finally a little satisfied. He put on his cloak again to cover his face, and planned to leave. Before he left, he turned around and said:

"Also, do you think I'm afraid of you if you go out? I don't know what you are. When you first came to Beili, I saw the scene where you killed my people in the woods. If you Lin Zhong knows, guess what he will think?"

These words hit Chu Ao hard on the head like a heavy hammer, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and he looked at Lin Cong in horror.

"What! You...you know..."

"Yes, hehe, I know all about it." Lin Cong was very satisfied with his reaction, and raised his eyebrows, "So, you'd better not provoke me, if I'm not happy for a while, I can't help but say something, but just Oops."

After all, he smiled presumptuously and walked away.

After Lin Cong left, there was another endless punishment. In the cage, without knowing the time, Chu Ao could only judge the alternation of day and night by the flickering light coming through the cracks in the planks.

A few days later, he was in a coma, and was awakened by the sound of the chain being opened. When he opened his eyes, he was being unshackled by several jailers and placed on the ground.

Are you going to execute?Chu Ao thought so.

"You all go down, I have a few words to ask him alone." A familiar voice came from outside the prison.

"Zhen?" Chu Ao couldn't believe his ears, he hurriedly looked outside, and a person walked in from the outside, dressed in imperial robes, although his face was full of childishness, he also had the air of a king, but that His face was full of exhaustion, almost pale.

"Guo'er!" Chu Ao shouted excitedly, seeing that he was safe and sound, he finally let go of his heart.

But Lin Zhong stood far away and did not step forward.

Chu Ao seemed to understand something, and suddenly his eyes dimmed.

"Guo'er, no, Your Majesty, will you personally see me off on the road?"

Lin Zhong's tears fell down patter, but his face was cold.Chu Ao looked at it, and his voice choked up:

"Guo'er, don't cry... If you cry, my heart will die of pain..." Chu Ao struggled to get up from the ground, stretching his fingers forward vigorously, wanting to wipe away the tears on his face again.

Unexpectedly, his hand was severely beaten by Lin Zhong, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't touch me!"

Chu Ao froze.

"I don't want you to do anything for me anymore! The emperor is dead, and the concubine mother is gone. If you and I were not so persistent, how could we have ended up like this!" Lin Zhong sobbed.

"So...I put Guoer in a difficult situation...Really?" Chu Ao lay back on the ground, his eyes dimmed, and he smiled as if relieved, "Then send me on my way as soon as possible...Anyway, without you , alive and dead, there is no difference..."

After hearing this sentence, Lin Zhong rushed forward, grabbed his shoulder, and bit him hard.

Teeth dug deep into the flesh, where the flesh had been bruised earlier from whiplash, and now the blood from the bite stained the clothes.

Blood and Lin Zhong's tears flowed down together.

Chu Ao's face turned pale from the pain, and he bit his lip hard.

He loosened his teeth and wailed loudly, beating his chest while crying.

"I hate you so much! I hate you! I hate you for causing me to lose my father and betray my mother, but I hate myself even more. I hate that even if you are like this, I can't leave. Seconds, I can't live. Why do I like you! Why! I hate..."

Exhausting all the strength in his body, he took Lin Zhong into his arms.

"Guo'er, thank you for saying that, thank you, with your words, I have no regrets in this life..."

A light kiss landed on Lin Zhong's forehead, making him stop immediately, he raised his eyes, although there were tears there, there was an incomparable determination instantly.

Lin Zhong wiped away his tears vigorously, got up and left the cell, Chu Ao closed his eyes and smiled.

This moment is still here.

Lin Zhong's voice came from outside the prison: "Preach my will, pardon Chu Ao!"

There was an uproar immediately, and the voices of no less than dozens of ministers' objections could be heard.

"From today onwards, Chu Ao is the person beside me, the person I love, and if there are any opponents, I will kill him!" He raised his voice and said clearly.

All the hustle and bustle were silent, and no one dared to speak a word.

Chu Ao suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, but tears welled up in his eyes.

A long time ago, there was a young man who made a wish that his beloved could one day tell the world that he belonged to him.The young man looks forward to this day almost every day, imagining how happy he should be at that time, and what kind of smile he should have on his face...

But when this day finally came, he realized that he couldn't laugh at once, only tears flowed endlessly...

"Guo'er, tell me again that you love me..." Chu Ao said out of breath as he hit Lin Zhong hard on the big dragon.

"I... love you..." The face of the person below her was blushing, and her voice was indistinct.

"It's not enough, I want you to talk more." He asked endlessly, and his movements were deliberately increased.

"I love you...I love you...I love you..." The voice suddenly shook his head and shouted loudly.

"Who do you love?" Chu Ao suddenly stopped.

Lin Zhong felt empty all of a sudden, shook the arm he was supporting with his hands, and hummed "hmm", how pitiful.

"Answer me first."

"Chu Ao."

"Who loves Chu Ao?" Unyielding, not soft-hearted at all.

"Lin Zhong loves Chu Ao."

Finally moved again, just like the dew after a long drought, everything is covered again.

After a momentary blank mind, the two hugged each other, feeling exhausted.Chu Ao bent down to Lin Zhong's little earlobe, with the panting just now:

"Remember, your name is Guo'er."
