Fragrance in the wind

For a moment, the entire royal garden resounded with chaotic clops of horseshoes interspersed with calls, the sky gradually darkened, unknown wild animals were howling, and bright lights wandered aimlessly among the trees.

Until there was a reply not far away, Chunyufeng hurriedly ordered the guards behind him to stop calling, only to hear the faint calls of wild animals one after another, "I'm here..."

"It's Zhouer!" Clamping the horse's belly forcefully, he galloped towards the direction of the sound.When he arrived, he saw a figure lying down on a slope, the clothes on his body were ragged by the bushes, revealing the dark purple single clothes, looking very embarrassed.

"Father!" He raised his hand and beckoned in his direction.

But at this moment, Chunyufeng also noticed a bear-shaped beast not far behind Zizhou, creeping towards him.

Chunyufeng's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately raised his hand to signal Zizhou not to move, but Zizhou saw his father's expression clearly, and understood that there must be something terrible behind him, he kept his original posture motionless while staring. .

The Imperial Forest Army who was driving had formed a circle at some point, and each of them drew their bows and arrows to make them appear in the shape of a full moon. With a wave of Chunyufeng's hand, dozens of bows and arrows were fired at the beast.

The beast full of arrows howled in pain, raised its thorny claws, and angrily grabbed Zizhou.

"Don't..." Chunyufeng's heartbeat was about to stop. At that moment, he threw himself forward, protecting him tightly under his body. After a long while, he heard a plop behind him, dust was flying, and he fell down. Zhi cut off the beast's head with a knife, and the beast's body crumpled and died on the ground.

Fu Zhi's figure trembled slightly, he quickly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the beast has been killed by the servant!"

All the Yulin soldiers got off their horses and knelt down on the ground in unison, probably sweating because of this.But at this moment, Chunyufeng's body and mind were all about the people under him, "Zhou'er...Zhou'er!" He held Zizhou's shoulder and nervously checked him up and down, and he was lucky to see that he was not injured. , "It's fine...it's fine!"

"Father! Zhou'er is so scared! Zhou'er thought he would never see father again." Zi Zhou plunged into Chunyufeng's arms, his cheek pressed against his father's thick chest, sobbing softly.

Chunyufeng caressed Zizhou's back with trembling hands, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid! Father is here!"

After a while, he calmed down the panic in his heart, lowered his head and asked the person in his arms what happened.

"Zhou'er's horse was running around uncontrollably, and it was about to hit a tree. In desperation, he could only jump off the horse, and then his foot was so twisted that he couldn't move." Zizhou looked at his sprained foot with tears in his eyes. The wind reached out to touch. "It hurts...it hurts!" Zhou'er's eyes were red, but he still pursed his lips and refused to shed tears. He was even more distressed, and carefully carried Zi Zhou to his horse, and rode with him on the same horse.

Chunyu Gurui, who was just rushing here, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the sixth younger brother was fine, and saw his father glaring at him displeasedly, so he had no choice but to bow his head in front of so many followers: "I'm sorry." Sixth brother, it's the second brother who lost his sense in playing around for a while."

Zizhou curled up in Chunyufeng's arms, sticking out his small head and twitching, he said: "My horse was injured before, so I can't help but be scared, the second brother doesn't understand, I don't blame the second brother."

"Sixth brother is open-minded, second brother is ashamed of himself." Chunyu Gurui lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly under the hazy night.

"Okay, okay!" Chunyu Feng interrupted impatiently, "Since the person has been found! Tell everyone else to go back quickly!"

"Yes!" Chunyu Gu Rui bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Zizhou hugged Chunyufeng's waist, and suddenly he was in a good mood, whoever made Chunyu Gurui provoke him all the time, he would let him taste the consequences of provoking him.

It was getting late, and because of Zizhou's foot injury, Chunyufeng decided to stay in the palace in the garden and return to the palace tomorrow.

In the bedroom, Zizhou was leaning on the bed, wearing only dark purple single clothes.Afraid that His Highness the Sixth Highness would feel uncomfortable, Fu Zhi moved a soft pillow under his waist.

Physician Wang half-kneeled on the edge of the bed, slowly lifted up his trousers, and found that His Highness's ankle was not red and swollen, so he pinched it.

"It hurts!" Zizhou frowned. "What about here?" Wang Taiyi tried to change another position and pinched it, and he even cried out in pain.

After thinking about it for a while, Imperial Physician Wang slapped sideways and said: "There is no redness or swelling on the surface, and it hurts so badly when touched, it seems that His Highness Sixth Highness's foot injury...is not out of the question."

Chunyufeng understood Wang Taiyi's words, and said with a gloomy face, "Everyone go down."

When there were only two people left in the bedroom, Zi Zhou buried his head in his knees with a guilty conscience.

"What's the matter?" Chunyu Feng asked patiently.

After being silent for a while, Zizhou simply let go of his knees, put his heart on the sidelines, and said angrily with his face half up, "Who told him to always trouble Zhou'er when he was fine, Zhou'er just wanted to show him off."

After hearing this, Chunyufeng's anger went straight up, but he raised his hand but he didn't hit it cruelly after all, he clenched his fist and took a few deep breaths, forcing it down.

Seeing that Chunyufeng didn't slap the slap for a long time, Zizhou felt that there was room for it, so he tried to stretch out a light white and tender hand to pull the other's sleeve, but he dodged it by raising his hand, he was startled: " wind?"

Following his delicate sound, Chunyufeng's gaze slowly fell on that dirty little face, a pair of crystal eyes looked at him in astonishment, he stroked Zizhou's cheek with his hand, with Kneading with some strength, I thought: What a pitiful and distressed face, but everything is just a disguise of this person, only then did I realize what I did for this bewitching face just now, and what terrible things happened If you can't find it, do you plan to let everyone be buried with you?For his little thoughtfulness, he even put his life aside ridiculously. Is this trying to destroy Chunyu Country?

There was a burst of pain on his face, Zizhou blinked his pitiful eyes and looked up, hurriedly said: "Zhou'er knows it's wrong! Feng, don't be angry! Zhou'er will not dare next time!"

"Wrong?" Chunyu Feng looked at him, every corner of his face was extremely sharp and cold.

Zizhou nodded immediately.

Chunyufeng sneered: "I'm asking you, if you can't be found, are you going to be the dinner for those beasts?" When his hand fell, Zizhou's cheeks were already flushed, Zizhou was stunned for a moment, and then turned again. She shook her head, but nothing could escape those sharp eyes.

"First, you tested the poison yourself when the crown prince was poisoned. At Mount Putuo, you broke into Mihun Valley for someone you had only known for a few days. In the battle at Changyun Mountain, you saved everyone and directly used yourself as bait, plus today. "As he spoke, he pulled Zizhou over to meet his gaze, and the originally cold eyes were full of monstrous waves, "Zizhou! What do you want to prove? What are you trying to test? Time and time again Don't even care about your life!"

Every word and every sentence revealed the scheming hidden in the depths, Zizhou hurriedly turned his face away, his eyes trembling, two streams of tears poured out from the corners of his slightly raised eyes, quickly and urgently, despising himself for being so vile.

Zizhou is not a child who loves to cry. No matter how much pain he suffers, he secretly endures it and never gives in. It is this kind of resolute and stubborn character that makes him sink deeper and deeper.His heart softened for no reason, but there was no wave on his face. He warned the other party in a deep voice, "I said for the last time, your life is your own, and it is only once. People go on adventures, do you remember?"

"I will engrave it in my heart!"

"Very good!" Chunyufeng looked at him, his expression became serious, and he spoke again, and his anger was half gone: "You are not allowed to leave Qingluan Palace for a month, and no one is allowed to visit, reflect on what you did wrong Already? How to change it in the future?"

Grounded? !Zizhou's eyes gradually cast a layer of chill, and then he got up and lay down on the bed, prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Your Majesty."

-----------------------

After returning to the palace that day, the sky above the Zhaoyang Hall was always covered with dark clouds that lasted for a long time, the courtiers and the servants were still silent and would still touch Longwei and trigger a thunderous anger.

On this day until the end of November, the sun was shining brightly at noon.Fu Zhifang stepped into the inner courtyard of Qingluan Palace, and a hidden weapon flew towards him. Fortunately, the throwing dart was not strong enough, and Fu Zhi was a kung fu practitioner with a quick reaction, so he easily dodged it with one side of his body.

After Fu Zhi calmed down, he saw a seven-foot-long, six-inch-wide, and four-inch-thick wooden stake standing in the center of the courtyard, with bare darts inserted into it. dart.

Fu Zhi and the little eunuch behind him stepped forward to salute.

Zizhou looked at the two of them, then turned his gaze to the dart in his hand, and asked casually, "I wonder if Eunuch Fu is familiar with this dart?"

Fu Zhijian hesitated for a moment, looked up at the darts on the stake, then lowered his head and replied to Zizhou, "Your Highness, I am not very familiar with you."

Zizhou snorted coldly, and said, "Isn't it busy repairing the canal recently, why do you have time to think of me?"

"The servant sees that the weather is getting colder. I heard that this year's winter is several times colder than previous years. The servant is worried that His Highness will not be able to bear it, so he sent some supplements. They are all rare tributes. Please accept them."

While Fu Zhi was speaking, the polished dart in Zizhou's hand aimed at Fu Zhi's head, nunuzui thought it was not appropriate, then aimed at Fu Zhi's chest, narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Zhi who was still unmoved. Zhi, only felt that it was boring, suddenly heard the word tribute, then turned the direction, twisted his wrist, the dart was sent out, and shot straight at the little eunuch behind Fu Zhi.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he let go of his hands, and all the tonics fell to the ground in bits and pieces. This is a tribute given by the emperor to His Highness. Although he was prepared in his heart when he came, the little eunuch still bluffed in the face of this sudden crime of annihilation. Kneeling on the ground paralyzed, his mind went blank.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Zizhou shook his head and said, "What should I do? How can you just throw away such precious things?"

The little lady listened and kowtowed and begged for mercy. Seeing blood on his forehead, Zizhou frowned and said, "Eunuch Fu, tell him to stop knocking, it's not a big deal, just accept it as your prince."

Fu Zhi turned around and scolded the little eunuch: "Okay! Don't knock it! Your Highness didn't blame me, so don't hurry to thank me."

After the little lady listened, she kowtowed a few more times in gratitude, staggered and stood up straight, wiping her tears with her head down.

"How can you give the things that fell on the ground to His Highness? The slave should take them back, and give them to His Highness after finding better ones. It's just..."

Hearing that Zizhou raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes stared at Fu Zhi, and he continued to say: "It's just that when the weather turns cold and warms up again, if His Highness still has warmth in his heart, then don't let this winter be too cold or It's been too long."

Zizhou chuckled, and said: "It's he who said he couldn't see you, and he who said he was reconciled. After being grounded for more than half a month, does it mean that a courtier must be temperless and let the emperor be at the mercy of the emperor? Eunuch Fu, tell me something." Tell him!"

"Your Highness, tell me!"

Zizhou turned and leaned halfway on the carved wooden recliner, pointed his chin with his fingertips, and said while thinking: "That's what Fu Gonggong said, that Zhou'er must think about his past within a month, and is determined to change his past. .” As he spoke, he looked at Fu Zhi and asked with a wink, “How is it?”

Fu Zhi suddenly had a headache.

Inadvertently, half a month passed, and Fu Zhi was once again sent by Chun Yufeng to Qingluan Palace to visit Zizhou, and it was the twelfth lunar month of winter.

After a while, Fu Zhi returned to Zhaoyang Hall to report to his command. "His Royal Highness has chipped the ice out of the pond and is fishing."

Before Fu Zhi could finish speaking, Chunyu Feng slapped the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Fishing? Fishing outside in the cold winter, must he be crazy!"

Fu Zhi hurriedly added: "His Royal Highness uses a straight hook without bait." After hearing this, Chunyu Feng stared at a place that seemed to be fixed but not fixed, a little lost in thought, and then stopped smiling, "Fu Zhi, cook a bowl for Zhou'er Send ginger soup over there."

"Yes!" Fu Zhi looked at the smiling emperor, but these two people really love face more than the other.
