Fragrance in the wind

On the Huanqiu in the southern suburbs of Huaixi——

The emperor wore the most rigorous dress and led the six princes to the top of the altar step by step, and then handed over the sacrifice in his hand to the six princes.

At this time, the drums and music were playing together, and the six princes stepped forward, placed the sacrifices on the pile of firewood, lit the pile of firewood, and the fireworks rose high into the sky.

The winter solstice sacrifice is the most important thing in the royal sacrificial activities. Every year, the emperor personally presides over it. Today, the son is not feeling well, so he personally issued an order to Fengchang Temple, which is in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. On the day of the sacrifice, the sixth prince presides over it. accompany.

Standing on the top of Huanqiu, with a wide field of vision, looking up at the sky like a cover, and looking down on every step under your feet, there are all civil and military officials standing. This feeling of imposing aura has always been exclusively enjoyed by the imperial power, and it is probably the same as the world. one of the causes of conflict.

He looked at the man beside him. He was dressed in a black fur coat and a crown on his head. Although his face was haggard, his strength of character was still majestic and intimidating.This man has reached the supreme position, and everyone in the world can have it at his fingertips, so why bother to pester him so hard?

The corpses were placed in front of the two, and the wine used for the sacrifice was given to the emperor and the six princes respectively.

The two took it with both hands, and glanced at each other unconsciously. With an unknown smile on Chunyufeng's lips, he looked at each other with affectionate eyes. Regardless of the presence of others, he held his glass and said, "The Emperor of Heaven is here , I swear here today that I will only have him in this life, and I will never betray you!"

Zizhou instantly understood that at this moment, this place and this scene, with the sky as the witness, the subject as the guest, and the corpse as the matchmaker, such an unprecedented wedding was given to him by him.

Thinking of this, he felt the blood rushing all over his body, and the mist gathered in his eyes could no longer see everything around him clearly. He bit his lips tightly, swallowed the wine in his mouth, and the burning sensation penetrated his internal organs.

How could Chunyufeng like this make him hate him? In a daze, the ceremony official shouted "Libi!"

Chunyufeng took Zizhou's hand and stepped down the steps. For a moment, he felt that if this was the end of his life, he would have no regrets in this life.

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

After returning that day, Zi Zhou refused to show his face, and Chun Yufeng couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment. He wanted to see him, but he was afraid that pushing too hard would backfire, so he kept procrastinating.

Until the next day, Chunyufeng was taking a nap. Because of his weakness, he often couldn't sleep well, so the small voices outside woke him up, and he called out, "Who is outside the door?"

Hearing this, Fu Zhi hurriedly opened the door, walked in with a bow, and prostrated himself on the ground, "Damn you, you disturbed Your Majesty."

"How did I hear that someone was missing?" Chun Yufeng pinched his aching temple, "Who are you looking for?"

Fu Zhi replied tremblingly, "Yes...it's Your Highness!"

Chunyu Feng was stunned for a moment: "What happened to him?"

"Today, His Highness left the palace and went out of the city. He was targeted by assassins and is now missing."

"What was he doing out of town?"

"I went to Miss Ah Ning's grave."

"Confused! The imperial court is conducting an investigation. How come you don't have any awareness of precautions when you are so sensitive!" As soon as he got angry, his heart surged, and he couldn't help coughing several times, his wheat-colored skin became sickly. color.

Seeing this, Fu Zhi hurriedly persuaded him: "His Royal Highness, Jiren Tianxiang, will be fine. The servant has already sent someone to look for it. I believe there will be news soon."

After the cough subsides, Chunyu Feng said in a deep voice, "Change my clothes, I will go find them myself!"

"Your Majesty!" Fu Zhi stepped forward to stop him, with a more serious tone: "You should be cautious about your current body! Your Highness hasn't been found yet. If you fall down and the crown prince is not around, the world will be in chaos."

"The world is in chaos!" Chun Yufeng twitched the corner of his lower lip, frowning in pain, "I have paid so much for the stability of the whole country in my life, I just want to love one person!"

It doesn't take a moment.Chun Yufeng led the crowd out of the palace gate, first outside the city, and then inside the city to search all night.to no avail.

In the early hours of the morning, someone came to report that a corpse resembling the sixth prince was found under the cliff.

Hearing the news, Chunyufeng felt his body shaking, and his eyes turned black.On the top of the world that day, they held hands against each other and made an oath, and they would face the eternal separation of man and heaven in a blink of an eye?Is this how God forbids them to be together?It's just a father and son love each other, even if there is a mistake, he should bear it, he can hand over everything, just for the safety of his lover.

Chunyufeng prayed countless times in his heart, walked to the corpse with limp feet, and jumped off such a high cliff, the corpse had already changed beyond recognition, like a pile of mud.The identity of the other party can only be confirmed by the purple clothes and the jade ornaments hanging around the waist as a symbol of identity.

"It can't be him...no...no..." Chunyufeng fell to the ground all of a sudden, holding his head in disbelief, how could such a bright and charming Zizhou become bloody and bloody in the blink of an eye.

"How could it be him? It's impossible!" He trembled violently, as if tens of thousands of insects and ants had penetrated into his heart, his face was contorted in pain, "Don't treat me like this, you can't be so cruel! You clearly promised Those who have passed me will always be with me, you said you are sincere, how can you break your promise!"

That embarrassing man paralyzed on the ground with tears all over his face was still a ruthless emperor planning strategies, Fu Zhi couldn't help wiping away his tears, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, he has already..."

"Shut up!" Chunyufeng got up suddenly, ignored the shouts of the people behind him, barely moved a few steps, a mouthful of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and slowly fell back on the ground.

The doors and windows of Zhaoyang Hall were tightly closed, and the imperial physicians got busy in a hurry.

Fu Zhi had secretly notified the prime minister to come, and the two stood anxiously beside the bed. As the imperial doctor's diagnosis took longer, sweat oozed from their foreheads, their fists were clenched tightly, and they couldn't sit still.

Until the slightly elderly Doctor Li came to the two of them and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has a lot of toxins in his body. Originally, this kind of poison is not very toxic. Long-term use will only make the user's body gradually weaken. However, after this Stimulating toxins invade the heart veins, and His Majesty has no will at all at this moment..."

Hearing his nonsense, Prime Minister Zhao lost his temper at first, and interrupted: "Just tell me how sick your majesty is!"

"The light ones wake up within three days, but they can't last a year; the severe ones..." Doctor Li looked at the two of them, and said: "The severe ones are paralyzed on the bed like wood and stone, unconscious, until the five internal organs fail. and die."

The two looked at each other solemnly after hearing this, but didn't speak.

The prime minister's heavy face was lined with wrinkles proving that his experience was not shallow. After a long silence, Fang said: "Block the news immediately, Zhaoyang Palace must return to normal."

Fu Zhi nodded in agreement, and the prime minister hesitated, "Do you want to consider secretly recalling the prince?"

Fu Zhi glanced at the other party, lowered his gaze, and didn't speak to him.

At this moment, a person broke in suddenly, and everyone was stunned, only to see the sixth prince dressed as an ordinary guard appearing in front of them dramatically, looking around, and said: "Why are you here? What happened? "

Only then did everyone react, and hurriedly bowed their heads in salute.

Zizhou went straight to the front of the collapse, and saw his father lying on the bed without a sound, "What's wrong with my father?"

When asked this question, no one dared to answer him.

The more this kind of silent atmosphere, the more people feel the fear of death. He turned around and looked at Fu Zhi, his complexion paled instantly, and even his voice trembled, "What's wrong with Father?"

Fu Zhi took a step forward, swallowed the choked sobs in his throat, and hung his head back: "Your Majesty thought that His Highness fell off a cliff, and he was very sad for a moment."

Zizhou was stunned, and suddenly stretched out his hand to catch Chunyufeng's wrist. After concentrating on the examination for a long time, he gradually understood everything. The poison had entered his heart, and he was already powerless. Even the blood lotus Gu on his body could not save him. a heart.

He suddenly shook Chunyufeng's arm, and said cautiously: "Father! Zhou'er is back! Open your eyes and look at Zhou'er. The person who died was not me, but the guard next to me. We exchanged clothes, and everyone broke through. The siege is over...you open your eyes and look at me."

The people on the couch showed no sign of waking up, their protruding features were still steep, but lifeless.Seeing this, Fu Zhi met the prime minister's eyes, and wanted to leave the hall with everyone, but Zi Zhou stopped him.

"No one is allowed to withdraw, I just want everyone in the world to know that we love each other, nothing matters..."

He took his hand and kissed it deeply on his lips.

"I know you don't like me being the emperor. The emperor has too much helplessness, too much involuntary, too ruthless, too tired... You don't like me walking the same path as you."

"I didn't understand before, and some of your actions even made me feel chills. Now I understand, but... you left me."

"For so many years, you have never left, no matter how capricious I am, as long as I look back, you are always there..."

"...Your love is as deep as the sea, and includes everything about me..."

"I was wrong, give me another chance, okay? Let's love each other..."

His face was buried in his palm, tears pouring down, "How could you abandon me so cruelly!"

Everyone stood in the middle, although they felt sad about the scene in front of them, but more of them were chills.

I saw that Chunyufeng's hand slowly dropped from his palm, the rosary beads on his wrist snapped, and the small wooden beads fell to the ground.

Zizhou opened his eyes, the wooden beads rolling all over the ground disrupted his sight and shattered his heart, he fell on the ground in a panic and picked them up one by one, "I can't lose it, find them , 36, not one less.”

Words filled the room with people looking for rosary beads around the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone handed the rosary beads they had picked up to Zi Zhou.

He held the recovered rosary in both hands, but his mind was covered with a layer of dust, he lost his judgment and direction, and he said slowly, "Chunyufeng, I will give you three days, after three days you will If you don’t wake up, I will ruin everything here and your hard work in this life.”
