rape

Seven years later, the royal city was covered with heavy snow.

In the martial arts school field in the palace, the young man held a carved black wooden bow and shot a white feathered arrow towards the all-red heart target in the distance. He stood alone in the snow, and the delicate red cloud patterns on the thin black clothes pierced a bright red.It is snowing all over the city. It is not easy to hit a red heart in this kind of weather. The boy's face is calm and indifferent. The hand holding the bow fluctuates slightly up and down, as if he is aiming. The moment he loosens his fingers, the boy's black eyes flash faintly hostility.

There was a clang of arrows.

The arrow didn't even hit the target.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the palace people who saw this scene were standing in the snow, and their backs were covered in cold sweat. Everyone knew that this little son of the King of Qin was notoriously surly, and almost everyone who saw him in a state of embarrassment ended badly.The palace servants who served him all remembered that rainy night three years ago, when he lost to the son of a minister because of a martial arts competition, and when he came back, he almost destroyed the people who served him in the dormitory.However, the king of Qin doted on his young son so much that no one in the palace dared to say a word against him.

Almost as soon as he saw that the arrow missed the target, Hu Hai's eyes changed a little. He threw the bow and arrow casually, and casually glanced at the palace servants beside him.The latter was trembling almost completely, not daring to speak, not even kneeling down to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness."

The sudden familiar voice gave Hu Hai a pause. He turned his head and saw a man in green clothes walking towards him holding an umbrella. Hu Hai's eyes warmed slightly, but when he saw the boy beside the man, his face turned cold. A few points.

Yu Zishi tightened his hand holding the umbrella, raised his eyes to look at the gentle young man beside him, and then looked at Hu Hai with a gloomy face, frowning slightly.Instead, the young man beside him stepped forward and saluted gracefully, "Join Your Highness."

On a snowy day, the gentle snow covered the gentle boy, making the boy more elegant.Hu Hai didn't speak, and didn't let him get up, but just looked at him quietly, with a chill in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Yu Zishi frowned even tighter.He took a step forward, met Hu Hai's gaze, and said calmly, "Your Highness." He stretched out his hand to help the young man up without a trace.

Hu Hai noticed Yu Zishi's action, and the frost and snow were almost blown out of his eyes.He didn't say anything, he glanced at Yu Zishi twice, his clothes fluttered, and he turned and left abruptly.After walking four or five steps, he turned his head and looked at the silent palace servant beside him, "Let's go." The voice was like an ice pick hitting the ground, it was so icy and snowy that it made people's heart tremble.

Those palace people hurriedly ran to keep up with Hu Hai, staring at the snowy ground with their heads down, not daring to lift it.

It wasn't until the pedestrian walked away that Yu Zishi pressed his eyebrows with a slight headache. He didn't know what he had done in the past two years. How could Hu Hai's temper become so surly?He glanced at the gentle young man beside him apologetically, "Don't worry too much, Meng Yi."

Meng Yi turned his head and smiled at Yu Zishi, "It's okay, I'm almost used to it." With that smile, the young man became more and more warm like a warm sun.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Zishi couldn't help but sighed slightly, "If I knew you were so unwilling to win against him in the martial arts school three years ago, I might as well have reminded you to let go." Speaking of Hu Hai The big change in temperament also started from the loss in the martial arts competition in the martial arts school.Yu Zishi thought it was the end of his youth rebellious period, so he didn't feel at ease, but when he came back to his senses, Hu Hai had already become like this.

Hearing Yu Zishi's words, Meng Yi seemed to think of something, his eyes darkened, and he hummed lightly after a long time.

"Forget it." Yu Zishi exhaled, turned to look at Meng Yi, "I just said that His Majesty told you to learn how to break the prison, right? Then let's go, I will show you the documents that I have sorted out over the years, you choose Let’s take a few stacks home and have a look.”

Meng Yi looked at Yu Zishi, with a gentle smile on his clear and warm eyes, "Please, my lord."

"It's okay, anyway, it's Qin Luben and Li Si and I who have been repairing and updating these years. You can tell me that you are smart enough." Yu Zishi patted Meng Yi's shoulder with a smile, "If you get the book, you can't understand it. You can come and ask me where you want to." Uh, Yu Zishi added, "But I may not understand it, the law written by Li Si is a test of people's ability to associate." Writers have this problem. He just writes two words when he can explain clearly, especially for someone as cold as Li Si.

"Then thank you sir." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"It's a trivial matter, let's go." Ben happened to bump into Hu Hai just passing by, Yu Zishi didn't feel relieved, and followed Meng Yi to continue walking to the treasury.

As soon as he arrived at the treasury, Yu Zishi threw away the umbrella. Holding an umbrella in this kind of heavy snow is really a crime.He called Wang Ping twice, but Wang Ping didn't know where he went.He had no choice but to ask Meng Yi to drag the chilly fur coat to sit on the couch first, and to light the stove by himself.After squatting and fiddling for a long time, the stove finally gave off sparks, and he rubbed his hands and looked at Meng Yi when the room became slightly warmer.

A dim lamp was lit in the room with the doors and windows closed. The young man got up and stood beside the bookshelf at some point, holding a book in his hand as he carefully opened it, with a peaceful look on his face.At that glance, a poem suddenly popped up in Yu Zishi's mind, "The day in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke", the young man from the noble family of Jiangmen does not have the slightest bit of hostility in his body, but is more gentle and refined than ordinary school students. He stood quietly, that is Ruyu boy.

Yu Zishi didn't bother him, but went to the table and silently added another lamp for him.Looking at the candlelight, he suddenly remembered the scene when he met Meng Yi for the first time.

In fact, to be honest, Yu Zishi approached Meng Yiben with an unknown purpose.He vaguely remembered that Zhao Gao committed a serious crime in history. After he was imprisoned, the person in charge of interrogating and judging the case was Meng Yi. .There are no detailed records of what happened during this period, only that Zhao Gao was pardoned in the end and hated Meng Yi to the bone.With this information and Yu Zishi's understanding of the Qin Dynasty's prison break procedure, he felt that Meng Yi might have punished Zhao Gao and tortured Zhao Gao. He speculated that this case might be Meng Yi's intention to get rid of Zhao Gao.

In history, there were many loyal ministers who killed traitors on trumped-up charges. When Yu Zishi saw the young man walk out of the academy, he felt that it would be difficult for the child to grow up.Fortunately, when he met Meng Yi, the latter was only an 11-year-old boy.

Just a child.

Yu Zishi used every method he could think of to get close to Meng Yi, and even stalked the boy like a pervert for a period of time. During this period, he was embarrassingly bumped by Hu Hai once, but he found that Meng Yi was not simple. The 11-year-old boy is so pure-hearted and ascetic to the point of a saint, he has no breakthrough point.Thinking of his own safety, Yu Zishi gritted his teeth and felt that he had to have a good relationship with Meng Yi even if he went up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire.

When he followed Meng Yi, he found that although the young man loved reading and pretending to be a sage, he did not lose his vigor as a general. He went to the martial arts school to practice riding and shooting every two days. Yu Zishi saw him once from a distance. He has the demeanor that does not lose to my father.

After getting in touch with him for a while, Yu Zishi found that Meng Yi was really difficult to deal with. He immediately became angry from the bottom of his heart, and he did something that he wanted to slap himself even thinking about it.Taking advantage of his position as the Minister of Zhongche, he hammered a nail under the horse that Meng Yi usually rode.What happened next was more in line with his expectations. Meng Yi was riding a horse, and the horse lost control and threw the young man off. CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao "just happened" to pass by, and rescued the cold son of the general.

The only accident during the period was that the horse lost control too much. When he was protecting Meng Yi, he was trampled on his heart by the horse. Thinking about it later, the retribution probably always came too fast and too unexpected.Looking up to put away the bitter tears, he endured the pain and went to find the imperial physician behind Meng Yi's back.As a result, when he got to the place, he turned around and found that the young man was staring at him, his eyes were dim, not like the usual sage at all.

Since then, the relationship between the two has eased a lot, and since Yu Zishi took the time to visit the prison and saw how the people inside interrogated the prisoners, he became more and more loving to Meng Yi from his soul.As for the fight in the martial arts school that made Meng Yi and Hu Hai turn against each other three years ago, Yu Zishi didn't know the details. When he arrived, he looked up and Hu Hai was thrown off his horse by Meng Yi, and he was hit hard on the ground. onto the mud.

It was raining at that time, Yu Zishi saw Meng at that time, seriously injuring a prince of the royal family was a felony, Meng Yi also happened to look up at Yu Zishi's gaze at that time, there was a trace of surprise and helplessness on his face that had never been surprised at all, Meng Yi at that time Yi is so different from Meng Yi, Yu Zishi's heart hangs immediately, and the first thing he said when he walked over was, "Meng Yi, are you okay?" The latter was riding a horse in the rain, his hands trembling slightly .

Yu Zishi looked back at Hu Hai again, and his heart skipped a beat for a moment. Hu Hai was covered in blood on most of his body, his face was pale and he raised his eyes to stare at him.It was raining heavily at that time, Yu Zishi was stunned for a moment and suddenly turned his head to ask the doctor to come over, Hu Hai's face at that time really made Yu Zishi tremble all over.He went up and stroked the boy's hair, "It's okay, it's okay." The blood-soaked boy buried his head in his arms, his face so pale that it was almost transparent.

King Qin was furious, Meng Yi's elder brother Meng Tian, ​​father Meng Wu and the emperor's eldest son Fusu all pleaded for mercy, and finally King Qin saw that Meng's family served Qin for three generations, and Hu Hai was not actually in danger, the details at this time were vague again , Meng Yi was imprisoned for two days and fined for three years, this matter is over.

After the calm, the only strange thing was that Yu Zishi felt that Hu Hai's temperament seemed to have changed a bit.He took care of him for a few days, and found that the child was not as obsessed with him as before. Instead, he always stared at him with strange eyes, and occasionally he would be startled when he turned around suddenly.

That look is very uncomfortable, too cold.

Yu Zishi withdrew his thoughts, thinking that he should find time to visit Hu Hai today.He looked back, in the dim room, Meng Yi's side face was gentle and meticulous, he put the scroll in his hand into a bag, and put it casually on the table.Yu Zishi turned his head to look, and there was already a half-stack of books on the table.

He got up and walked over to pick up a roll, looked at it, and asked, "These? That's quite a lot."

"No, you don't need to bring these." Meng Yi casually put a volume of books back on the shelf, "Take them all away."

Yu Zishi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the rows of bookshelves in his room, he was stunned for a moment due to the voluminous volumes.After a while he asked, "Should I prepare some carriages for you?"

Meng Yi quietly looked back at Yu Zishi.

Yu Zishi was a little dumbfounded, this guy actually did it for him?With so many books, how many trucks would it take to put them in modern times?Young man, are you planning to read the Haoshouqiongjing until the end of your life in one sitting?The latter seemed to see his doubts, and said calmly: "It's okay, I read very quickly."

That won't work, you emptied my books, what am I doing?Why don't you save some for me?Yu Zishi pondered for a while, and came up with an idea, "Why don't you move all of them."

"Huh?" Meng Yi frowned slightly.

"Let me tell Your Majesty, you can live here directly." Yu Zishi turned his head and glanced at the room. After he was promoted, he also changed his office. This place is much more spacious than his original place, but in These days, Huang Guizhou's eyes are probably still a bit shabby, and he felt that it was not appropriate as soon as he said something, and just about to say forget it, he heard the young man say lightly.

"it is good."

Yu Zishi choked for a moment, and swallowed the words back. "Since you don't dislike it, then you can live here. Anyway, this place is considered spacious, but there is only one bed here." Yu Zishi walked to the inner room and glanced at the chaotic scene inside. "I'll change the quilt and mattress for you later."

"En." Meng Yi nodded, turned around and concentrated on reading again.His eyes swept across two or three lines, and his attentive appearance was quite quiet.

Yu Zishi thought for a while, "I'll send a letter to your home later."

"Yeah." The latter didn't lift his head.

Yu Zishi saw that he was quite busy, so he felt ashamed to disturb him, so he lit two more lamps for him, then put on a cloak and went out.As soon as he walked out of the house, the young man behind him who was staring at the book suddenly looked up. He looked at the empty gate behind him. There was a thick layer of snow in the yard, and there was a line of footprints on the ground. The bamboo umbrella, that scene looked a little lonely.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, Yu Zishi folded in again, reached out to close the door and then turned to leave.During this period, it was just a glance or two, and the door was closed immediately, and the room was warm again.Meng Yi put down the letter in his hand, raised his eyes to stare at the warm stove, in the faint light of the fire, the young man's face was like jade and his eyes were deep.

……

Yu Zishi went to Huhai's main hall, and when he opened the door to enter, he shivered subconsciously from the cold, the main hall was empty and there was no one there, but it was exactly the same as before.Hu Hai's dislike of being close to people hasn't changed at all these years, and it has even become more severe. These years, palace people can't even enter his palace.

"Why don't you light a fire?" Yu Zishi took out his hand from his thick cloak and squeezed his fingers, then called out, "Your Highness? Are you there?"

There was not the slightest sound in the hall, Yu Zishi frowned, hasn't come back at this point?Where did you go.Since the temperature in the main hall seemed to be lower than outside, Yu Zishi didn't take off his cloak, but wrapped it tighter.He took out the charcoal fire from the side hall by himself, cleaned out the stove, and lit the fire manually.

In the end, I don't know how long the stove hasn't lit a fire, and Yu Zishi has been tinkering for a long time without a spark.He frowned. Since the beginning of winter this year, he hasn't been to the Hu Hai Palace much. On the one hand, Hu Hai seems to be less and less welcome to him, and on the other hand, he is unwilling to run out in the cold. Why is this palace suddenly deserted? into this?He tossed and tossed for a long time but there was no improvement at all. In a rage, he planned to change the stove and continue to toss.

He raised his legs and walked to the inner room, the inner room was still deserted, Yu Zishi went to the stove and continued tossing, but the stove didn't seem as sharp as the one outside, and this one didn't even emit smoke at all.The corners of Yu Zishi's mouth twitched for a while, and he decided to find a palace servant to help.He can't do it alone.

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he heard a very light rubbing sound of cloth. His ears were sharp, and he turned his head to look at the bed.With thick curtains hanging down, Yu Zishi thought to himself, he couldn't be an assassin, could he?He raised his eyebrows and walked slowly over, raised his hand and opened a corner of the curtain, and then he was stunned.

The boy's face was slightly pale and he was nestled under the quilt, his head covered in cold sweat.Hu Hai?

Yu Zishi's heart tightened, and he reached out to touch the boy's forehead, it was really cold.Wasn't it fine just now?Yu Zishi was confused, and immediately got up to go to the doctor, when suddenly a cold hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed his wrist violently, the force was so strong that Yu Zishi was shocked by the force, and then looked at the juvenile. "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay." The young man's voice was slightly hoarse, but his eyes were filled with clear and cold indifference.

"Let go, I'll find someone to come and take a look for you." Yu Zishi felt that if it was all right, he would be blind to all his life experience.

"It's okay." The expression on Hu Hai's face did not change at all, but the hand holding Yu Zishi's wrist suddenly increased its strength.

Yu Zishi had never seen Hu Hai like this before. If this kid was sick in the past, he must have been clinging to himself, and he seemed a little coquettish.This was the first time he was like this, he was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and touched Hu Hai's face and hands, the temperature was too low."Is it cold?" he asked.

Hu Hai's eyes were clear, and he shook his head slightly.If it weren't for the sweat and cold hands on that head, Yu Zishi would really think that Hu Hai was normal just by looking at his eyes.Since the hands that were holding his wrists were too tight, Yu Zishi would not let go of Hu Hai's grip no matter what. He had no choice but to sit down by the bed and pull out another quilt to cover Hu Hai. "Then you sleep for a while."

Hu Hai nodded, but did not close his eyes. He stared at Yu Zishi in the slightly dark palace, deep and silent.That gaze made Yu Zishi feel that something in his heart seemed to be touched. How long did he ignore this child? How did he become like this?

Seeing that Hu Hai said he was sleeping but he didn't even want to blink, Yu Zishi stroked his hair, it was still a little damp, I don't know if it was from the snow melting just now or soaked in sweat, Yu Zishi's heart tightened, He quickly grabbed Hu Hai's shoulders and pulled him out of the quilt.

When I touched his hair, it was all wet.The boy only wore a thin underwear, looking extremely thin.Just now he was lying under the quilt, his face was pale but he couldn't see clearly, but now he was leaning on the bed, and Yu Zishi noticed that there was not even a trace of blood on the boy's face.

"How did you make it like this? No, I'll go find Xia Wuyan." Xia Wuyan is a doctor in the palace, an imperial physician.Yu Zishi stood up as he spoke, but was pulled back by a force.

"Sir." The voice was a little tired, slender and light. Hu Hai closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them brightly and clearly, "No." There is no need to call for an imperial doctor, no need for a doctor.

The look in his eyes was so firm that Yu Zishi was shocked by the child he had raised since he was a child. Then he grabbed the quilt tightly, bowed his head and cursed inwardly. He shook off Hu Hai's hand and pulled it over the edge of the bed He didn't know what kind of cloth it was, so he stretched out his hand to cover Hu Hai's head, and rubbed it vigorously.

Hu Hai subconsciously turned his head back, but was directly pushed back by Yu Zishi's hand. "do not move."

He quickly dried Hu Hai's hair, and the latter suddenly became quiet under his hands.Yu Zishi couldn't see the boy's face, let alone his expression, he could only feel the vague stiffness at that moment.When it was almost time to wipe the floor, Yu Zishi suddenly pushed the man back onto the bed, pulled off the quilt and covered him, Hu Hai struggled to get a head out of his life, turned his head and saw Yu Zishi running towards the dead man with his sleeves rolled up. The stove went off without smoking.

During this period, the sounds of clanging, ping-pong, etc. did not stop. When Yu Zishi finally lit the fire, when he raised his head, Hu Hai was looking at him quietly with his head sideways. Seeing his gaze, the boy silently shrank back into the bed again. , a well-behaved look.

That look fell into Yu Zishi's eyes, and he felt that Hu Hai was finally back to normal.Walking to the bed, he half-dragged the person and the quilt to the stove, "Sit down!"

Hu Hai suddenly became very obedient again. He was wrapped in a thick quilt and sat by the stove with only half of his head exposed. The warm fire dispelled a lot of chill in an instant. He stared blankly at the fire.

After a while, Yu Zishi finally asked: "Hu Hai, do you not like Meng Yi?"

He ran into Hu Hai at the snow field by chance today, and he could feel Hu Hai's hostility towards Meng Yi. Although he didn't hide it openly, it was obvious enough.Upon hearing Yu Zishi's words, Hu Hai's eyes turned slightly cold, and under Yu Zishi's gaze, he hummed indifferently.

"Why? Because he hurt you in the competition back then? Just because he was inferior to others, you hated him for so long?" Yu Zishi secretly felt chills in his heart. Man is also enough to make him feel like a failure.To teach a child like this is to be a teacher in vain.

Hu Hai was silent, his dark eyes reflected the fire, and after a while he said softly: "Well, I'm not as good as him, so I bear grudges."

Yu Zishi had nothing to say, he seemed completely unaware that this was really the case, he stared at the flame with his hands down, without saying a word for a long time, finally he got up.

Hu Hai raised his head abruptly, but Yu Zishi didn't look back, but said calmly, "I'll make some ginger soup for you." After leaving this sentence, he walked out of the inner room.

Hu Hai, who was silent with the fire, blinked silently, his dark eyes were like ink stains, and the more he fainted, they became faintly redder.Meng Yi, he recited the name silently, with a little fire in his eyes.

After a long time, the young man curled the corner of his lower lip as if mocking himself.

If I knew it earlier, I would have killed him in the martial arts school back then.
