When the emperor travels, he must ensure safety even if he is light and simple, but it is not visible on the bright side, and the guards are all hidden in the dark.It's the same as not allowing others to be brought along, but also saying that they are not allowed to be accommodated and served. It is basically a empty promise of lip service.

Although it is mid-winter when sailing on the river, fortunately, the south of the Yangtze River is still warm this year, and the waters have not yet frozen.The boat travels slowly, the green hills on both sides of the strait are like Daisy, the rosy clouds are green, and there is a cool breeze with mist blowing through.

Shen Hui was sitting in the string cabin, holding the hot tea that Rong Yucai had cooked, and lazily said, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, the posthouse here is too humid, I don't know how you endured it all these days of."

These words really make people speechless, the charcoal fire kept burning in his room all night, because he was afraid that he would not be used to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, Rong Yu specially smoked and dried the quilt first, and put it in the quilt specially for the maid who did not warm the bed. The two mothers-in-law dared to serve him to bed only after covering him warmly.

"I just said that, and I didn't blame you for not serving you well. Why are you nervous?" Seeing his uneasy expression, Shen Hui couldn't help teasing, "When I talk to me in the palace, I dare to contradict you every now and then, but when I go outside In terms of rules, you have seen big scenes and know that it is not easy to travel in the officialdom, and accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger?"

Rong Yu was stunned for a moment, it is an undeniable fact that being with a king is like a tiger, but no matter what, he cannot admit it in front of him.

Seriously speaking, Shen Hui treated him well, and of course the talk about equality was over, but he was promised a lot of privileges, including being able to refute his words when getting along in private, which is something that ordinary servants dare to do.But Shen Hui is thoughtful, moody, and ruthless to his parents and brothers, let alone irrelevant people.

Even if he couldn't forget the grace of saving his life, he never dared to expect Shen Hui to care about him.All he can do is to make himself useful all the time, and then be careful not to offend the emperor, so that his life can be saved, or his life can be relatively easy.

"That's all I have to say. I want you to think about it for so long, but I don't know how to answer it? It really is more like walking on thin ice than before, and I don't know what to be afraid of." Shen Hui smiled and looked out the porthole. "You still feel that I am ruthless in your heart. Father and eldest brother can let go, so the more you think about it, the more afraid you become, isn't it?"

Standing beside him, Rong Yu followed his gaze and looked out. There was clear water, green and distant mountains, and the sky was as blue as the sea water he had seen in his previous life, but it was more transparent and clear, which made people feel peaceful and stable. .

"I dare not criticize the emperor. You are the heir designated by the late emperor. If there is no change, you will not be able to prevent problems before they happen."

Shen Hui chuckled, "Precautions before they happen? When did you think that way? Didn't you keep saying that I don't need to care too much about a loser?"

He stopped talking suddenly, and after a long time passed, he sighed slightly, "Father and emperor don't like me because of my mother and concubine. I am a concubine, and my mother died when I was born. Qin Tianjian approved my fate , said that I have a weak relationship in my life, and I am against my elders. I have not been close to my mother and concubine since I was a child, and I was always accompanied by the foster mother and the nanny. , just let me kowtow outside through the screen, ask a few questions about my homework and how my body is, and it passed without pain or itching."

Turning the teacup in his hand, he suddenly smiled, "They all thought that if they stayed away from me, the mother and concubine would live a long life, but when they raised the second child, they were stillborn, and the mother and concubine have been depressed ever since. Widowed, the number of summons to me is less and less. All these accidents, my father blamed me, and in the end he still said that I killed my mother."

Rong Yu listened quietly, his eyes fell on his side face, the jawbone was exquisitely contoured, the bridge of the nose was straight, his expression was not sad, but there was a touch of irony, but there was still a little imperceptible loneliness in the eyebrows.

In a trance, it was as if a string had been tightened in my heart.

Their past and present lives are so similar, if he didn't have the experience of his previous life, he would only sigh a few times after hearing these words.Feeling the same experience but being different, it turned out that the original sin that Shen Hui was carrying was also the original sin, but it was an unwarranted one.

I don't know how to comfort him, maybe all he needs is someone to listen to, Rong Yu didn't speak, stood with his hands down, staring at him quietly and intently.

"Later there were several children in the palace, but they all couldn't support them without exception. I don't need to tell my father, I also know that this account will be charged to me sooner or later. On the other hand, Shen Che is loved by thousands of people. Yu Yi, who grew up under the care of everyone, mother and concubine even treated him better than me, let alone the father. I can't figure it out. I can only redouble my efforts to do my own thing well, study hard, learn riding and archery, and hope that my father The imperial concubine can look at me more and call me to talk more. Unfortunately, hard work seems to be useless. Under depression, I turned to my teacher for help, and he told me that I should become a prince who can help the country, A good subject who shares the worries of the monarch, so that my father will look at me with admiration. I listened to his words and asked my father to give me a chance to spare no effort to undertake errands to experience myself, so that he can see that I have the ability to be a Good servant."

Putting down his cup, he showed a mocking smile, "It didn't take long for rumors to spread, saying that I took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, solicit people's hearts everywhere, and greedy for merit and advancement in order to fight for the reserve position. The emperor was very displeased, He beat me repeatedly, and even condemned and denounced the people close to me one by one, which made me lose my arm. But only my benefactor did not make any mistakes. At that time, I realized that even he was the emperor's father. Those words of persuasion to make me better had no other purpose, it was just to make me jealous, to make my so-called ambition known to the world, and to give my father more excuses to suppress him."

"At that time, I was 14 years old. After thinking about it, he was both a king and a father. I had to bow my head. But I was already famous, and when Shen Che came to the throne in the future, how could I tolerate a prince who was more practical than him? Rather than panic Instead of waiting to be framed and killed all day long, it is better to hold your life in your own hands. I hide my strength and bide my time, and I have learned not to believe anymore. Everyone can be a chess piece for me, and I can discard it after I use it. Even if you can betray the way of being a teacher, what else is there to believe in?"

He sighed for a long time, and then slowly laughed, "I thought there was no gentleman in the world, no one could keep his heart, but I didn't expect to meet one. He is calm and not afraid of death, and he is obviously soft and fragile But he is so strong, he is willing to risk his life for a little favor, but he refuses to frame others. The bottom line in his heart is unshakable in the face of power, wealth, life, death, honor and disgrace. Such a person is interesting. I never thought that he would be Hiding in the inner palace in obscurity, unobtrusively acting as a servant."

Wan didn't expect that the topic would go around and around, and it would fall on himself, let alone that he would express his feelings for himself, Rong He pursed his lips for a moment of thought, and replied plainly, "I just follow the trend, and I also do a little It’s just what you feel you should do.”

"Do you follow the trend or follow your heart?" Shen Hui smiled at him with interest, "I know it well. So I forced Huang Kao to death. I feel ashamed, but I don't regret it!"

When he said this, there was a clear arrogance between his eyebrows that looked down on everything in the world.Rong and his heart trembled slightly, he was indeed trying to survive, his father never loved him, so he didn't need to be entangled in the morality of his own flesh and blood?This is really a grand proposition. As a modern person, I can understand it and agree not to be kidnapped by family affection, but as a person of this era, his behavior is more than deviant.

Shen Hui didn't know, he sipped his tea, and continued, "Aren't you curious about why I went to Jiangnan? In fact, I came to see the location of the mausoleum. I have decided that I will return to Nanjing in a hundred years, and will be buried in the capital of Taizu's founding, underground. Accompany the ancestors."

It turned out that he still cared about it after all, since Emperor Taizong moved the capital, the emperors of all dynasties had been buried in Gyeonggi, and he suddenly did the opposite, because he didn't want to see his father again after death.After all, the ancients had more taboos than modern people. Those shackles are like shackles, firmly binding a person's body and soul.

It's no wonder that he wants to act in secret and refuses to go to Jiangnan with great fanfare.It has only been a year since he ascended the throne, let the ministers know that he has such a plan, I am afraid that some people will immediately think that it is because he has no face to meet the late emperor, and the father and son's quarrel is still a trivial matter. Bad words.

Rong Yu sighed in his heart. If he told himself such a confidential matter, he had to express his opinion, "The emperor has made up his mind, and there is nothing wrong with me. As for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, I am willing to help. If the emperor wants to supervise the process, I can do it at any time." Standby."

The words come from the heart, and there are selfish thoughts besides the sincerity. Although I did miss Shen Hui during this trip, it was just because of habit, but life in the palace is depressing after all. As long as there is a chance to leave, it is better than being trapped in the square palace walls.

Shen Hui smiled, "If you really want to run wild, you don't have to worry, there will be a place for you in the future. But beside my mausoleum, you might as well reserve a good place for yourself, and I promise you will be with me forever in the future King's side."

Rong Yuting's brow was covered with cold sweat, he couldn't figure out if this was a joke, but in the face of such flattery, others should be grateful, tearful and muddy.It's a pity that he is a medical student, and he doesn't have the slightest obsession with the body, and he doesn't think it's good to be bitten by insects and rats in the ground. It's better to burn it to make it cleaner.

What's more, the king is such a good long-term companion?I can only wait and see, I hope that the friendship between the monarch and his subjects will not collapse, and I can have a not too bad ending in the future.

Even though he was reluctant, he still had to thank you, and Rong Yu saluted respectfully, "I thank you for your grace."

"Get up," Shen Hui smiled, jumping out of the past, and turned the subject, "I said that I can't return empty-handed. When you go to Suzhou, what gift did you plan to bring back for me?"

Rong Yu thought for a while and answered, "The emperor praised Xiao Zhengzhong's paintings earlier, and I want to go to Xiao's mansion in Suzhou to ask for one in person."

Shen Hui raised his eyebrows, "Well, that's a good idea, then I will visit this person with you."

"The emperor..." Rong Yu said hesitantly, "Is it inconvenient for the emperor to come in person?"

Shen Hui shook his head, "It's okay, when he was waiting for the imperial edict, I was only a prince, and most of them were not in the capital at that time. I have never seen him, and he must have no impression of me. Don't worry, I can't forget people's looks. But whoever has met once, will never remember it wrong."

Hearing what he said, Rong Yu felt relieved, nodded and said yes, anyway, when traveling with the emperor, it is absolutely not his turn to make decisions, so everything will be arranged by him.
