rape

In the palace, a woman wearing a bright red palace dress and white fox fur is sitting in the warm sun with her pipa in her arms, her fingers flying.The snow was floating in the sky, and the plum blossoms were shining against her face like a rosy glow.

When Yu Zishi opened the door and came in, he saw the woman in the snow at a glance, he was slightly startled, when did a woman appear in Hu Hai's palace?Yu Zishi, who had stopped by to take a look, was a little dazed, and stared at the girl for a while.

With a plain face facing the sky and clear eyes, Yu Zishi thought, this little girl looks quite good-looking, with curved eyebrows and eyes as if she walked out of a painting.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Zishi raised his legs and walked in. The little girl was playing the pipa and didn't notice him. When he got closer, he realized that the white fox fur on the girl was very familiar. The one that Li Huhai often wears.

Just as Yu Zishi was looking at it secretly, the little girl's hand that plucked the string suddenly paused, and the lingering sound resounded, she turned her head suddenly, and happened to meet Yu Zishi's gaze.After the two faced each other for a while, the little girl hurriedly got up and saluted, "See you, my lord."

"No need." Yu Zishi stretched out his hand to support her.

The little girl lowered her head slightly, holding the pipa in her arms and not daring to look at Yu Zishi. In the eyes of others, her appearance seemed submissive and gentle.

"You are?" Yu Zishi asked.

"Xiao Luo." The little girl said softly.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Luo bit his lower lip and said in a very soft voice for a long time: "Not long ago, I accidentally broke into the palace by mistake and got injured a little bit. Your Highness, Young Master asked me to recuperate here for a few days." She raised her head and looked at Yu Zishi. , "Master Zhao, I will leave when I recover from my injuries. I won't... I will never cause His Highness any trouble."

"You know me?" Yu Zishi suddenly asked, "How do you know me?"

"I used to be a palace maid of Lan Yuan. I met you a few times, but I don't think you remember." Xiao Luo raised his head cautiously, looking at Yu Zishi shiveringly as if frightened, his clear eyes were full of bewilderment, " My lord, I didn't deliberately collide..."

Before Ronaldinho finished speaking, a voice sounded behind the two of them.

"gentlemen."

The cold and flat voice of a young man is very familiar.Yu Zishi looked back, Hu Hai was slowly walking out of the hall.

"Join Your Highness." Xiao Luo hurriedly lowered his waist and saluted, "Your Highness, I..."

"You go down first." Hu Hai interrupted Xiao Luo's words lightly, his gaze casually swept over the woman's red palace dress, his eyes were still calm and unobtrusive.

Xiao Luo was stunned, and looked up at Hu Hai. The latter looked at her without any emotion, just a simple and ordinary look, but she felt a tremor in her heart, and then said a word "yes" in a low voice, and retreated. down.

After watching Ronaldinho retreat, Yu Zishi glanced at Hu Hai, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.He didn't know why, but he felt embarrassed about catching his child's puppy love, pretending that he didn't know anything, and it didn't seem appropriate to say a few words.

The two walked into the hall together, and when Yu Zishi entered, he found that the temperature inside was extremely low.It was rare to see some sunshine outside today, but it was actually warmer than in the palace.Yu Zishi frowned subconsciously, and before he said anything, Hu Hai had already walked to the stove to light a fire.

The young man knocked on the flint, one sound after another, until a thin flame rose from the furnace.

Looking at the figure squatting by the stove, Yu Zishi suddenly had a feeling of being stunned, and he subconsciously called out, "Hu Hai."

Hu Hai turned his head immediately, Yu Zishi's heart skipped a beat for the jade-like youth with dark eyes. Unknowingly, this child has grown so big, only the outline of his childhood can be vaguely seen in his eyebrows.The two looked at each other for a while, Hu Hai stood up and walked towards Yu Zishi.

After a short glance, Yu Zishi saw the flint and steel in Hu Hai's hand, and after a while he asked, "You don't light the furnace much when you are in the palace?"

Hu Hai was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I'm used to it." He walked up to Yu Zishi and sat down, and put down the flint.

Yu Zishi looked at the side face of the young man in the thin light, but Hu Hai rarely looked at him, but sat down in front of him, folded his sleeves, reached out and poured a glass of water and sipped it lightly, "What do you want from me, sir?" His voice Calm to the point of indifference, Yu Zishi subconsciously frowned.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Zishi finally said: "It's nothing, I just came to see, you recently..."

"I'm fine." Hu Hai suddenly interrupted Yu Zishi's words.

Yu Zishi was startled, and after a while he replied "That, that's good", and the two sat opposite each other, speechless for a moment.For some reason, Yu Zishi felt that Hu Hai seemed to be a little deliberately alienated from him today, and even his voice was a little cold.

Two days ago, there was an incident of alchemy and burning of the palace. Yu Zishi has been following Meng Yi to clean up Xu Fu's mess, and he didn't have time to go around. Now he doesn't even know when there are more people in the Huhai Palace, let alone he can I know the reason for Hu Hai's increasingly unpredictable emotions recently.

Thinking of Xiao Luo, Yu Zishi suddenly felt that he should ask a few more questions. He looked at Hu Hai, thought for a while and said euphemistically: "The maid in the yard is pretty."

Hu Hai paused while holding the water glass, he raised his eyes and took a deep look at Yu Zishi, and said softly for a long time, "En."

"How did you meet?"

"I'm injured, I'll keep her for two days." Hu Hai said it naturally and generously.

"Injured? How did you get hurt?"

"Accidentally fell."

"I see." Yu Zishi thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of her?"

"Normal." Hu Hai rolled up his sleeves and poured himself another glass of water.

Considering Hu Hai's usual temperament, a person who would be uncomfortable even when others touch the corner of his clothes, can let a strange little girl live in, saying that it is an "average" Yu Zishi will definitely not believe it.He didn't reveal it, but he felt a little complicated in his heart, a little worried, a little relieved, and a little lost.

This is probably the pity of the world's parents.

Yu Zishi thought for a while, and then felt that his thoughts were terrible, and silently said sorry to His Majesty Yingzheng, the king of Qin, who is handsome and handsome, and turned his head to look at Hu Hai, "It's quite deserted for you to live alone. It's good to be with you."

"En." Hu Hai's voice was indifferent.

Yu Zishi looked at him, and the phrase "However, no matter how much you like him, you'd better be careful" in his heart couldn't get up and down his throat for a long time, but he didn't say it.The heart of defense is indispensable, Yu Zishi has always believed that this sentence is extremely correct, the girl named Xiao Luo appeared a little abruptly, and he knew nothing about her identity, background, or origin. It's dangerous to be so close.If this happened to someone else, Yu Zishi would definitely remind him a few words, but it happened to be Hu Hai, Yu Zishi struggled for a long time but couldn't say anything.

It's really that Hu Hai has been too cold in his life.

Although in special occasions such as palace banquets, in front of outsiders, the palace people saw that the young prince was really surly and volatile, and he almost walked around in the Qin palace relying on King Qin's favor.But in fact, except for Yu Zishi who occasionally came over to talk to him, the child almost stayed alone in the palace all day long without saying a word.Yu Zishi bumped into it many times, the silent boy sitting in the dim palace so quietly that it seemed as if he didn't exist, if he didn't know that he was actually still alive, he really felt that the boy's body was no longer human.

It's rare to come across someone he likes nowadays, and as an elder, he has to pour cold water on his head, and he really can't do it.After thinking and thinking, Yu Zishi felt that he should not say anything.

Yu Zishi didn't speak, and Hu Hai didn't say a word. The two sat for a long time, and Yu Zishi finally said, "I still have something to do."

"En." Hu Hai nodded, but didn't raise his eyes to look at Yu Zishi, he just held the cup of cold hot water and blinked lightly.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps gradually receding could be heard beside his ears, and the room that finally got warmer seemed to suddenly become deserted again.Thinking of the man's slightly thin clothes, Hu Hai was silent for a moment, then got up and went to the inner room to get a thick black cloak.

Just as he walked out of the hall with the black cloak in his arms, when he saw that he was about to turn around the corridor, Hu Hai's hand squeezed the cloak in his hand tightly. He immediately froze in place, staring at the two people in the courtyard.

As soon as Yu Zishi walked out of the hall, he met Xiao Luo who was waiting in the snow, looking like he was waiting for him.It happened that Yu Zishi also wanted to find out the details of this girl, so after Xiao Luo opened his mouth, he went along with the flow and chatted with her.

After a few simple greetings, Xiao Luo finally got to the point. She bit her lip and looked at Yu Zishi courageously, "My lord, I heard that you are His Highness's husband, and I have known His Highness for many years."

"Well, what's the matter?" Yu Zishi sized up the girl's face, seeing her blushing slightly.

"Then the lord should be very familiar with His Highness." Xiao Luo twisted his sleeves, raised his head suddenly and said quickly after a while: "My lord, I, I want to ask you, is there anything Your Highness likes, food, or anything else? Can!"

"What do you ask for this?"

Xiao Luo blushed completely, and his eyes, which were originally watery, were full of aura. "My lord, I, I am pleased with Your Highness! I hope that my lord will tell me!" She suddenly gave a big gift.

Yu Zishi stretched out his hand to support her, "All right, all right, you really plan to kneel down for me."

"My lord!" Xiao Luo looked at Yu Zishi so eagerly with his eyes, his blushing and lively appearance was extremely moving.The girl Huaichun is the most innocent.

Yu Zishi's heart moved slightly. The little girl's emotions did not seem to be feigned. Under Xiao Luo's burning expectant eyes, Yu Zishi coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I don't care about these things. In fact, I don’t know very well.” In fact, he didn’t remember anything that Hu Hai particularly liked.

"How could someone not like anything?" Xiao Luo seemed to ignore his daughter's reserve, and hurriedly said, "Think about it carefully, my lord."

Yu Zishi thought for a long time, and unconsciously frowned, he hesitated for a long time and said: "A few years ago, when His Highness was still young, there were plum blossom cakes sold in Xianyang City in winter, and I would sometimes buy two catties to take with me when I entered the palace Ku gave everyone a taste, and once brought His Highness the remaining half a pack, he seemed to like it quite a bit.”

"Plum blossom cake? Can my lord bring me some when I enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Well, it's like this. The old lady who sold plum cakes passed away two years ago, and I haven't seen this kind of cakes for two years." Yu Zishi looked at Xiao Luo's disappointed eyes for a moment, thought for a while and then He said: "Someone might be able to make the dining room in the palace. I don't think it's too difficult. It just happens that plum blossoms are blooming these two days. If you are really interested, you can try to make it yourself."

"Really?" Xiao Luo seemed to get excited all of a sudden, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Yu Zishi's hand.

"Really." Yu Zishi looked at him and pulled his hand, his eyes moved slightly but he didn't say much.

"Then I'll learn it tomorrow!" Xiao Luo was still tugging on Yu Zishi's sleeve even tighter, "Thank you, sir."

"It's okay." Yu Zishi glanced at the expression on Xiao Luo's face, and suddenly lowered his head and stretched out his hand to gently cover Xiao Luo's hand. Feeling the little girl's surprise for a moment, he gently held her hand. "You have a pair of pretty hands." He said leisurely.

Xiao Luo's smile froze for a moment, but she didn't dare to take her hand out from Yu Zishi's. Her eyes widened slightly, and her hands trembled slightly.

"I will be able to make the plum blossom cake that your highness likes." Yu Zishi said as he stretched out his hand to caress the back of her hand, and gently opened Xiao Luo's hands. He seemed to caress Xiao Luo's palm inadvertently. He raised his eyes and smiled and said, "A beauty's fingertips can not only walk the strings of a pipa, but also touch the heartstrings of a sweetheart." He let go of Xiao Luo's hand, and seeing her stiff face, he smiled gently: "It's rare that I I have also become a Huideng disciple, so don't be surprised. In fact, everyone has a love for beauty."

"No, it's okay." Ronaldinho seemed to shrink back all of a sudden.

"Okay, let's go back." Yu Zishi said with a light smile, then turned around.

As soon as he turned his head, his face became extremely ugly in an instant.

The thick calluses on one hand, the calluses from pruning flower branches and scissors covered most of the original hand calluses.After resting and recuperating these days, the calluses of the scissors have faded a lot, and the calluses are showing.Yu Zishi couldn't be sure, but felt that the calluses on his hand were a bit like the calluses on the hands of someone who practiced swords all the year round.

Not sure.

After Yu Zishi left, Xiao Luo finally showed a faint laziness on his face. She stretched out her hand and looked at her hands. After removing the calluses, the appearance was indeed slender fingers. She turned her head to admire for a while, Immediately, he squinted his eyes and reached out to take out the square handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped vigorously the place Yu Zishi had touched twice.Man, what are these things?After wiping, she threw away the handkerchief casually, and walked slowly back to her palace to pick plum blossoms.

After a long time, Hu Hai slowly came out from the back of the corridor, still holding the black cloak in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the direction where Xiao Luo was leaving, his eyes were clear and cold, and he only glanced at them lightly, then he turned and looked towards Xiao Luo. Walk in the direction of Yu Zi.

As soon as he walked to the main palace road, he happened to bump into Yu Zishi who was turning back.

"Your Highness, do you like Ronaldinho?" Yu Zishi just thought for a while, when he saw Hu Hai at this time, he asked without saying a word.

"Normal." Hu Hai still didn't have much emotional ups and downs.

Yu Zishi turned his head slightly to regain his breath, and then looked at Hu Hai. The boy was standing in the snow with a black cloak in his arms, and he had already begun to look handsome.He said: "Your Highness, young people should aim everywhere, and should not indulge in beauty."

Hu Hai looked at Yu Zishi for a moment, and suddenly, the corner of his mouth was raised slightly mockingly, "Everyone has a love for beauty."

Yu Zishi's heart suddenly rang out, "Did you see it?"

"Yeah." Hu Hai stepped forward, gently shook off the cloak in his hand and passed it to Yu Zishi's hand, "It's cold, sir, you should wear more." He remembered that Yu Zishi was very afraid of the cold, and there was no stove in previous winters Just feel uncomfortable.

Standing in place holding the long cloak, Yu Zishi looked at Hu Hai's back as he walked away with his hands behind his back. The black color was unusually strong in the snow, and he suddenly asked, "What will you do?"

Hu Hai stopped when he heard the voice, and turned to look at Yu Zishi.

"I can explain what happened just now." Yu Zishi frowned, "I know you like her a lot, but she may have a problem."

After watching Yu Zishi for a long time, Hu Hai suddenly asked: "Do you really think her hands are pretty?" After a while he nodded and said: "Yes, she is indeed pretty."

Yu Zishi had never met Hu Hai talking to him like this before, and was a little dazed for a while.He always felt that after taking care of the child for so many years, Hu Hai should believe him. He didn't know whether he should be tired or chilled at the moment, but he had no other reaction except to be dazed.

Yu Zishi stretched out his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows, took a deep breath and looked at Hu Hai deeply, "Your Highness, Xiao Luo really has a problem."

"Sir." Hu Hai said calmly, "I thought about it, after all, this matter is a matter of my inner palace, and it is not under the control of Yushicheng, let alone Chefu, and I hope that sir will not interfere."

After saying this sentence, Hu Hai turned and left.Yu Zishi stood still and looked at Hu Hai's back, holding the cloak until his knuckles turned white. After a while, he breathed out, turned his head abruptly, and walked out of the palace.

……

Yu Zishi was walking on the road with a long cloak in his arms, his mind was completely confused. This was the first real dispute between the two of them since he knew Hu Hai. There was no yelling, it was very calm and penetrating.Yu Zishi vaguely felt that something was out of control, falling apart.If there is one thing in everything, it is easy to have two. If one day, Hu Hai is no longer under his control, what will it be like?

Scenes of tragedies in history kept clamoring in Yu Zishi's mind. That kid would kill people, kill a lot of people, and finally ruin the entire empire and his own life.

Yu Zishi felt that he was sweating coldly behind his back, Hu Hai was not an ordinary person, he was the Second Emperor of Qin, Yu Zishi couldn't afford to gamble, he would rather Hu Hai was still that slightly autistic child, under his protection, he was safe and secure, with no merits or faults through this life.

When turning the alley, Yu Zishi was still thinking about this matter, and he was a little distracted for a while when he heard the cold sound of the piano in his ear.He looked up and saw that the alley was empty, and at the end, a man lazily plucked the strings with his piano in his arms, and his white clothes were more than snow.

It took Yu Zishi about four or five seconds to react, "Gao Jianli?"

In the empty alley, there is still a thin layer of snow on the tile eaves, and the melted snow drips down the corners of the eaves on both sides of the alley, hitting the ground and splashing a circle of fine water droplets.The cold water dripped against the cold piano sound, Gao Jianli raised his eyes and smiled, "Long time no see, Mr. Zhao."

"Why are you here?" Yu Zishi subconsciously frowned.

"My lord, I just wrote a new piece of music recently. I wonder if your lord is interested?" Gao Jianli stopped with his fingertips and pressed down on the crystal strings.He raised his head to look at Yu Zishi, there was a thin layer of mist floating in his light-colored eyes, and his smile was incomparably alluring.

Looking at his smile, Yu Zishi finally changed his expression.

Gao Jianli didn't wait for Yu Zishi to speak, and directly stretched out his hand to make a series of lingling sounds. The sky shone into the alley, and the floating dust could almost be seen clearly.

"Can I ask a few things?" Yu Zishi stood still, and asked calmly.

Gao Jianli took the time to look at Yu Zishi while playing the piano, and nodded generously, "Ask."

"How much is my life worth?"

Gao Jianli replied with a half-smile, "The price is sky-high."

That's how he really thinks highly of him, Yu Zishi sneered in his heart. "Who instructed you?"

"Master Zhao, you are not in prison." Gao Jianli shook his head and sighed: "You should ask, who invited me to kill you, but I still can't answer your question, because I counted the gold that night, I have already remembered I don’t know what happened the day before yesterday.”

Yu Zishi asked, "You have to kill me?"

"Naturally, people have to be moral." Gao Jianli plucked the strings, and made a wrong note with a trembling hand. He frowned, and pressed down on the strings violently.

"I remember you are a swordsman, not an assassin." Yu Zishi asked coldly in the alley where only the sound of water droplets could be heard.

"No, Master Zhao, you remember wrongly, I'm a dog butcher." Gao Jianli stretched out his hand and slowly touched the strings, the mist in his eyes seemed to gather, and then he gently plucked the strings.

Yu Zishi's expression changed in an instant, he stepped back suddenly, and a sword qi struck over, directly drawing a three-foot-deep knife mark on the bluestone path.Yu Zishi managed to dodge it, and then looked back at Gao Jianli, with extreme coldness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gao Jianli slightly raised his eyebrows, "Master Zhao, for the sake of taking care of my business, I will send you a word."

"I'm not going to kill you anymore?" Yu Zishi also raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the gentle man seemed a bit murderous for a moment.

The lazy elegance in Gao Jianli's eyes was swept away, and he smiled softly, "Master Zhao, you really know how to joke." With his ten fingers covering the strings, the strings poured with inner strength made no sound, like water hitting a cold stream , the wind blows over the pines.The next moment, all ten fingers loosened.

The sound of the zither came rushing with mighty internal force, and there was a thunderous sound on the ground.Yu Zishi subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but at the moment he turned sideways, he caught a glimpse of the sound of the piano and the sword aura.

Yu Zishi's eyes suddenly sank, and the next moment, a sword qi shot out from behind him, hitting Gao Jianli's piano sound head-on.The fierce collision sounds like tens of thousands of horses treading rivers and rivers.Yu Zishi looked back subconsciously, but suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes.

There was a stabbing pain in the neck, Yu Zishi shook his head violently, trying to regain his sanity and see the person behind him clearly. The next moment, there was another hand knife on the neck. consciousness.
