Born short-lived

Then he turned and left.

Zhou Zirong's eyes were red, and he stared blankly at the back of him leaving. After a long time, he forced a breath and closed his eyes heavily.

"Passed away and returned to the palace." Dong Sheng shouted, bowed to Li Chongwen from a distance, and walked out without waiting for anyone.

In the past life, he didn't understand which scripture he had put together wrongly, so he smiled and said sorry, then turned around and followed impatiently.When I went out of the palace, I saw that man was standing at the gate of his house covered with black clouds. The coachman who led the horse saw his master's stinky face and his body was cold, so he hurriedly avoided it. back.

From the corner of his eyes, Dong Sheng saw that the past life was following him, so he turned around and got into the carriage without saying a word, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace."

The past life stared at the curtain of the carriage in bewilderment, while raising his legs and getting on the horse, he muttered inwardly: "What's wrong..."

The owner of the East Palace is in a bad mood these days, and the entire East Palace is obvious to all. After all, there is a saying that a fire at the city gate will bring disaster to the fish in the pond. Although Dong Sheng used to have a hot temper, he is not so hot. , causing dozens of people in the East Palace to complain incessantly.

He didn't take his death seriously at first, until Dong Sheng suddenly sent Yuan Li back to Prince Zhou's Mansion a few days ago, and he didn't realize that something was wrong.Coupled with his various abnormal behaviors with Zhou Zirong just now, he finally had a rough idea in his heart.

He dismounted softly, and trotted faster to catch up to the side window of Dong Sheng's car.Dong Sheng heard a quicker rattling sound gradually coming from outside the car. He knew it was reincarnation, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything. It wasn't until the people outside couldn't help knocking on the wall of the car that he slowly opened the curtain. He asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

Wang Sheng frowned, holding the reins of the horse with one hand, and leaning on the eaves of the car with the other, leaning down and whispering, "What's the matter with you and Zhou Zirong?"

Dong Sheng blinked and blinked, intending to put on a show to the end: "It's nothing, why are you asking so suddenly?"

Xiang was short-tempered, and stared at him anxiously: "No, I said you..."

"Oh, that's fine." Dong Sheng sighed, begging to make a detour, "Don't ask me any more."

He couldn't resist him, so he tore down the curtain angrily to cover that annoying face, scolded the horse as if venting, and turned his head back to the back of the team.

Dong Sheng himself couldn't figure out something in his mind, and he didn't bother to bother with him. The tide-like sense of loss of strength almost overwhelmed him. He originally thought that after so much, even if he was young, there were not many things in this world that could be true. crushed him.

How naive he was, he thought now.

Even when he was outnumbered and surrounded by the army in southern border, he had never felt so at a loss.

Neither is it broken, nor is it continuous.

The decisive words were not only for Zhou Zirong, but also for himself. Every word was like a file grinding flesh, and an iron knife scraping bone.

What is Zhou Zirong thinking about, how deep is that thinking, he only needs to think about it before and after, and he can understand the general idea, and even such a general idea is enough to make him tremble with fear.

Zhou Zirong didn't treat him well in a day or two, nor in a year or two. It seemed that from the first time he saw this person, this person had always been so kind to him.

No wonder Zhou Zirong is in his 20s and has never had a woman he likes, let alone a wife.Among the comrades in arms of the same age, the quickest ones are almost weaned. Zhou Zirong is a dignified prince with a different surname.

I don't know where this feeling came from, nor how deep it is.

But it's not really that he can't figure it out at all, it's that Dong Sheng didn't dare to delve into it.

Because as long as he thinks of how deep Zhou Zirong's thoughts are, he can imagine how deeply those words hurt him just now.

It turns out that there are really people in this world that you can't hurt, because if you stab him with a knife, your own chest will also be bloody.This is probably what people in the world often say about life-to-life mutual restraint. There is always that one person that you can't do anything about.Even if he bites the bullet and wants to refuse, he is still fearful and worried about gains and losses.

Dong Sheng was thinking all the way; is it really right for me to do this?

He didn't know when the carriage stopped. The old slave in charge of the East Palace came out to meet him and told him that the princess would come to ask him to go out for a spring outing in the morning.

This holiday, the cabinet did rest.

"What did you say?" Dong Sheng asked casually as he got off the carriage with his clothes in his hands.

"The old slave said that His Highness has something to go out of the palace today."

"Well," Dong Sheng wasn't thinking about it at all, and while rubbing his brows, he lowered his head and went into the room.

"Your Highness," the old slave in charge saw that the Prince had nothing to say, so he hurriedly chased after him, "Does Your Highness need to make an appointment with His Royal Highness Princess again at another date?"

Dong Sheng had a headache, waved his hands, and said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it."

Before Zhou Zirong left Beijing, Yuan Li made a special trip to the East Palace to inform Dong Sheng, but he had nothing else to say except the date of his departure.

There was something in Yuan Li's words, and Dong Sheng could hear it, but he just asked him if he wanted to give it away.

Dong Sheng was silent for a while, then said calmly: "The imperial court is busy with official duties, please trouble Mrs. Yuan to give Gu a word, just say that I will send you off soon."

However, everyone knows that in the entire imperial hall and the Six Courtyards of the Inner Palace, apart from the emperor who is always in the harem, the crown prince of the East Palace is the most idle person.

No matter how busy the imperial court is, it cannot be as busy as yours.

Yuan Li probably knew about the quarrels between him and Zhou Zirong, even if he only knew what happened and didn't know why, but he didn't want to interfere too much. After thinking about it for a long time, he still just said: "Then take care, Your Highness."

Zhou Zirong left the city from the Xuanwu Gate. In the early spring, the outside of the city walls was no longer a depression, but the steep wind froze the buds that had just grown out on the muddy ground, and there was still the last bit of snow shrunk between the stone cracks and the city walls. Under the feet, it seems that all the cold air has been scalded by the sun, and it seeps into the ground wetly.

He was wrapped in a windproof robe, and the sun had not fully risen yet, and the wind hurt his face.

When the sun reaches the mid-heaven, the ships in the port will weigh anchor.

Zhou Zirong knew that Dong Sheng would not come, but he couldn't help but waited at the gate of the city for a while, euphemistically calling it "feed the horse".

The horse hiccupped while gnawing weeds on the side of the official road, but there was still no figure he wanted to wait for at the gate of the city.

"My lord, General Zhao should already be waiting at the port." Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Yuan Li bit the bullet and went up to remind him, "There are still dozens of miles of waterways to go in the future, and it is inconvenient to sail at night. alright."

Zhou Zirong turned his head and glanced at him, and finally he was relieved; "Well, let's go."

This was the first time they were in the same city, and Dong Sheng didn't come to see him off.

But when the horse team walked a long way outside the city gate on the official road, Zhou Zirong suddenly seemed to think of something, and Fuzhi looked back involuntarily.

At that moment, Zhou Zirong thought, this is probably the so-called fate.

On the tower of the city gate in the distance behind him stood a slender figure, wearing a black robe, fluttering in the wind.Even though he couldn't see his facial features clearly, Zhou Zirong knew who it was just by his figure.

He smiled calmly, looked at the figure and murmured softly; "Take care."

After almost half a stick of incense, Zhou Zirong's cavalry had disappeared on the flat horizon outside the city, and Dong Sheng was looking far to the east, with some emotions in his dark eyes like cold pools, As if thinking about something, he said in a low voice; "Treasure."

Although Zhou Zirong's trip back to the East China Sea is expected to take half a year, no one can guarantee when it will actually end.He wrote many letters to Dongsheng in the first three months of his stay, but when these letters were sent to the capital, there was no response, unless they were official and secret letters with the official seal of King Beizhao or the official seal of Donghai Commander.

Zhou Zirong took care of a lot in the capital, so even if he was in the East China Sea, anyone who had greeted him in advance would send him some news about the capital.

The empress had just chosen the princess concubine for Dong Sheng, and as if she was not enjoying herself, she started to think about the candidate for the son-in-law.

But the princess is only the age of cardamom.

Dong Sheng quarreled with the queen in the court because of this matter, and was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall all night.

When Zhou Zirong learned of this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked someone to contact Donggong. He wrote several letters in his own hand, and there were three or five people who came to ask for him.

This kid, he would dig a hole for himself as soon as he was away. The battle for the crown prince had already made Dong Sheng feel like walking on thin ice in the court, so he had to find trouble for himself.

Isn't he usually very clever?

However, when these letters were sent out, there was no response as usual, and finally I learned about Dong Sheng's recent situation from the writings of a few old friends in Beijing and China.The empress was just angry for a while at the time, and she recovered after a few days. Although Dong Sheng suffered a little bit of physical pain, the empress also specially sent some condolences to the East Palace afterwards.

Zhou Zirong felt stuck in his throat, but he didn't know what to write.

The person whom he held on top of his heart was living like a wolf and a tiger in front of his own biological mother.

He looked at the Great Wall under construction on the sea every day, wishing he could wake up the next morning and see that the Great Wall had been built by himself, so that he could fly back to Beijing in a legitimate way to see what happened to that person.

However, at the end of May, a piece of news that really made him shudder fell unexpectedly.

——The army of Sha'an, stationed in northern Xinjiang, has attacked the city again.

[The author has something to say: Ah Sheng, no matter how angry you are, you will always attack in the future, be careful...]
