Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]

In Yu Yang's side hall, Min Yan was waiting anxiously.

Mr. Zhenning was dressed in a lazy and heavy snow-white fox fur, his expression was sickly and indifferent, and his figure was faint and cold, like a ghost floating in the snowy night.He was followed by his family in two rows, neatly dressed in white, walking in the darkness, one of them held an umbrella for him, and walked towards the brightly lit palace.

The heavy palace door was pushed open, and the howling wind and snow poured into the room, and the two candles at the door trembled dangerously.Then came Zhenning Jun's perennially indifferent and chilly voice——

"It's a cold winter, the Second Highness summoned his ministers here in such a hurry, but there is something important?"

Min Yan hurried over, "Mr. Zhenning, you are here!"

Mr. Zhenning squeezed out a "hmm" from his nasal cavity, and his sickly and sharp face became paler after being blown by the cold wind.The corners of his eyes were long and soft, his thin lips were closed tightly and he sat down casually, as if he was tired of being blown by the wind and snow, and even his previous sarcastic and domineering arrogance faded a bit.

Lord Zhenning's real name is He Lianyu, he was conferred by the previous king, he is the descendant of the famous Yuyang family, and now he is the most prestigious one in the court.More than ten years ago, he also served as the first teacher for the noble son of the clan, responsible for teaching literacy.But because of his tricky temper, vicious swearing, and cruel methods of punishing servants, he was dismissed from his position within a year because of his poor character.

He even became famous among the nobles in Yuyang because of this.

And that noble son of the clan happened to be the one in front of him, Min Yan, the only younger brother of the King.

The maid in the hall was pouring tea and water, and Min Yan's youthful face was full of sadness at this moment. He sighed and said helplessly, "What should we do now? Mr. Zhenning, please come up with an idea." .”

He Lianyu had no intention of answering this sentence, and glanced at him lazily with her slender eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"It's been more than a month, and the palace is still as cold as if you've entered a ghost's den. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but the vendors in the city don't even dare to come out to set up stalls. Now there are rumors and rumors in the outside world, how can the rumors spread? There are all of them, if it goes on like this, when will it be a head?"

Min Yan anxiously dangled in front of Lord Zhenning, "Mr. Zhenning, tell me, since the time of the first king, has there ever been a war where hundreds of soldiers were lost, and the city was full of mourning and the palace was full of people?" Hanging white silk? How can it be plausible not to let the common people pass by for years?"

The complex stone carvings on the walls of the hall exude a faint flame, and when blown by an unknown wind, they sway slightly like water waves.

He Lianyu didn't seem to care at all, and lazily sipped his tea before dragging his voice and said: "Why not?" He looked indifferent, "My Yuyang warrior sacrificed his life to defend the country, there is nothing wrong with mourning the heroes, let alone your majesty meaning, who would dare not obey."

Standing in front of him, Min Yan felt puzzled when he thought about it, "But why is he like this? As the king of a country, he shut himself up in the Hall of Sacrifice all day long. How can he keep the dead alive if he guards like this?" Is it? Besides, as far as I know, he has nothing to do with that Sixth Highness, so what is he trying to do by doing this?"

Not long ago, the king of Yuyang, Min Shao, had led his troops to fight Dongjing, and after returning, he fell ill and almost died of a serious illness.

Fortunately, Min Shao's cultivation base is profound, and he survived again. Before he recovered from his serious illness, he immediately retrieved a corpse at the foot of Tianyin Mountain in front of everyone in the cultivation world, brought it back to Yuyang, and sealed it in the coffin with his own hands. Inside, it is placed in the Hall of Sacrifice.

Min Shao said to the outside world that he was paying homage to the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and the whole city mourned the dead.During this period, the marquis's house was not allowed to have banquets, the common people were not allowed to marry, and meat and fish were forbidden in the palace.

But in fact, everyone in the palace knew that what he mourned was probably only the one in the coffin.

After the first seven, the second seven, and after the second seven, the third seven. Seeing that more than a month has passed, the seventh and seventh should be full, but there is still no intention of leaving the Spiritual Sacrifice Hall.He didn't say what was going on, and he didn't listen to anyone who tried to persuade him.

This is also the biggest problem of the Yuyang Monarch - paranoia.

He Lianyu felt it was ridiculous, and smiled suddenly.He closed his eyes wearily, rubbed the warm jade with his fingertips, and lazily said: "What are you drawing...who knows? Second Highness should ask the person lying in the coffin about this matter."

"This, how can I ask this?" Min Yan couldn't help stuttering, and then he begged again, "Junning Jun, go and persuade my brother to let him come out earlier. He just recovered from his illness soon, if he continues like this, The body will fall apart."

He Lianyu could not see any joy or anger between her soft brows, she glanced at him, and said slowly: "The Second Highness came to me for this purpose...Although I want to help you, but your majesty is determined to do so, this In the world, how can anyone persuade you?"

"..."

"Forgive me for being incompetent." He Lianyu dragged his voice, and smiled coldly, "Besides, your lord is the lord of a country, and I believe that he will take care of his body and put the overall situation first. If you don't believe me, look, your lord If you don’t leave the Sacrifice Hall in January, isn’t this huge court hall still in good condition?”

"Mr. Zhenning..."

"Okay." He Lianyu twisted her neck to relax her muscles and bones, stood up, her figure still looked slender in thick fox fur, and said indifferently, "I'm just an outsider in this kind of thing, how can I intervene?" What? The Second Highness is the king's brother, you know what kind of temper he is, if you can't even say it, you can only wait for the king to figure it out."

He Lianyu's narrowed eyes were cold and delicate, and she stepped out of the front of the hall, and said with a fake smile:

"It's too late to fix it..."

……

Half an hour ago, Xiao Chengjian was dragged away by the palace guards.

The wind outside the hall gradually subsided, the white silk hanging on the plaque fluttered faintly, and the night sky was still falling with pure white fine snow, which fell on the window lattice outside the hall, reflected crystal brightly by the lights and candles.

The rows and rows of lights in the hall were burning powerfully and scorchingly, but they were so pale that no one could feel any warmth.

Min Shao was still standing in front of the case, facing the coffin on the steps, his eyes were deep and lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the palace, and an old servant came in, followed by a servant serving hot tea.

The old waiter's name is Fu Si, he looks about 50 years old, and has been with Min Shao for several years.Even though he was usually articulate, facing Min Shao in his current state, he couldn't say anything, so he stood aside cautiously and advised:

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's take a sip of tea and take a break."

Min Shao endured the burning pain in the depths of his brain, moved, and didn't touch the cup of tea, but walked to the futon beside him and sat down, rubbed the center of his brows, and closed his eyes tiredly.

The fire in the hall flickered, the waiter put down the hot tea and went to check the lamps on the sandalwood stand.

Xu's body was already extremely exhausted, but after a long time, Min Shao fell asleep in this position, his breathing gradually slowed down, but the gloominess between his brows did not fade away with the deep sleep, and it was easy to see that he was deeply worried on weekdays .

Drowsy, the old servant seemed to sigh in his ear, and put on a piece of clothing for him.

The footsteps of the palace people retreated, the palace door closed slowly, and the unknown wind blew the lights all over the palace to sway.

In the cold silence, almost transparent shallow marks spread freely along the ground, forming strange marks.

A burst of light suddenly aroused.

It dimmed for a moment without anyone noticing.

The next morning.

There was a sudden anger in the hall, and the young palace servants in the hall were terrified and ran out in a panic, almost bumping into someone - it was Fu Si who hurried over after receiving the order.

"Where's the person? Fu Si!"

Facing this angry sound, Fu Si hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, and walked into the inner room at a faster pace, "Hey! Here we come, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Fu Si took a closer look, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his family, except for his ugly face, his body was safe and there was no abnormality around him.

Immediately afterwards, he heard His Majesty asking——

"Why is Gu here?"

For a moment, Fu Si thought he was deaf, so he got shorter and moved closer, "What did you say?"

"Gu asks you why Gu is here!" Min Shao's eyebrows darkened.

Fu Si paused, not understanding why his lord fell asleep this morning, unconsciously showing confusion, "Why?"

Min Shao narrowed his eyes coldly, and asked, "What do you mean, what is this place?"

Fu Si glanced around, but still didn't understand, and replied slowly: "Guang...Guangyang Palace."

Min Shao stared at him coldly, his eyes were sharp like eagle claws, as if he was looking at a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

Fu Si was dripping with cold sweat, thinking to himself, could it be some kind of hysteria?

He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to ask, he said in awe and fear: "Then tell me, Your Majesty, where should you be?"

Min Shao squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "Of course it's the Temple of Sacrifice."

"The Hall of Sacrifice to the Spirit, oh..." Fu Si was getting older, and it took him a while to realize, "The Temple of the Sacrifice to the Spirit?!"

He was taken aback, patted his thigh in panic and hurriedly said: "Oh my lord! What are you going to do in the sacrifice hall? Our Yuyang country has been peaceful and smooth in recent years, and there has been no national mourning. Especially your lord! Healthy, strong and strong, look at the five states and sixteen countries, which one is stronger than you? Look at your handsome face, radiant face, powerful arms and thighs, and it will not be a problem to resist the five mountains and pull down Mount Tai!"

"With your blessings and longevity, you can compete with the sun and the moon, and compare with the sky and the earth. Why are you staying in the Hall of Sacrificial Spirits?!"

"..."

Min Shao stared at him for a moment before realizing something was wrong.

Fu Si is used to looking at people's faces, how dare he talk to him like this during this period of time?He lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that the clothes on his body were only a middle coat that he usually wears to sleep. The hair crown should have been removed last night, and his hair was still loose.

... Not to mention who would dare to take off his clothes while he was not paying attention, even if someone wanted to send him back to his room without him noticing, it would be a very difficult problem.

There was a strange feeling in Min Shao's heart, and he turned to look around again, and found that the stone carvings on the wall for temperature adjustment were not turned on at this time, but he did not feel the cold.

It stands to reason that in the deep winter right now, especially after a heavy snowfall just last night, the temperature should be extremely cold.

He finally realized the strangeness of the matter, and immediately walked forward with a frown, and opened the door of the palace.

At this time, the courtyard was clean and swept spotlessly.

Min Shao looked at the familiar scene in front of him as before, but suddenly stopped in astonishment——

What about the snow in the yard? !
