half life slave

Exactly how he walked back to the room, Rong Yu was too exhausted to think about it, he didn't say a word along the way, and turned a deaf ear to others' words.Before closing the door, he signaled everyone to go out, including the eager Lin Sheng, then locked the door and retreated to the bed.

Sitting with his back against the wall and hugging his knees, he seemed to have lost his sorrow and joy for a while, and could no longer find any words to express his emotions.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a constant knock on the door, the light outside the window gradually dimmed, and the faint lights and candles flickered slowly nearby.

There were numerous footsteps outside the door, and Lin Sheng whispered anxiously, "Your Excellency has locked himself in the room and won't open the door no matter how hard you knock. I'm really afraid that Your Excellency will be overwhelmed..."

Then there was a hasty knock on the door, Shen Hui said in a low voice, "Rongyu..." repeatedly, seemingly very patiently, "Rongyu, it's me, why don't you open the door?"

Hearing him addressing himself with the word "I" again, Rong Yu hesitated for a moment, then got out of bed and walked to the door. The moment the door opened, he saw Shen Hui's eyes full of anxiety. And pity.

With a slight grin, Rong Yu still retreated to the previous position, embracing his knees and sat down again.Anyway, those etiquettes, no matter whether they are high or low, have already collapsed, and he has no intention of rebuilding them, so it's better to just let him go on like this.

He didn't even look at Shen Hui, his eyes were naturally empty.Seeing his lonely and deserted appearance, Shen Hui felt a pain in his heart, and was a little scared, sat down by the bed, took the porridge bowl from the palace servants, and motioned silently for everyone else to go out.

The door was closed, and there was silence in the room, except for the clinking sound of the spoon touching the edge of the bowl. Shen Hui reached out to him, holding the spoon full of porridge up to his lips.The movements were done so skillfully, as if he had already been used to it.

Rong Yu shook his head, trying to take it, but he avoided it.Shen Hui persisted, as if he would keep holding the spoon if he didn't drink the porridge.

Slightly sighed, where did the appetite come from at this moment, but due to years of habit, Rong Yu still complied with his wishes.

Shen Hui's expression relaxed for an instant.Rong Yu took the bowl in his hand and thanked him with a slight nod, but still couldn't think of what to say.

"I'm sorry," Shen Hui said softly after a long time passed.

The few words made Rong and his movements slightly stagnant.

After a while, Shen Hui continued, "I didn't want to talk about those useless nonsense that made you wronged. Because I know that since the day you followed me, you have suffered too much wronged. Being hated and hated by others Being abused, being framed, being insulted... It's all because of me. But you never complained, and you never showed anything. As long as I let you do it, or I haven't said it yet, I just hope that someone will do it for me Whatever you do, you will do it for me without hesitation."

Sighing, he said again, "Although this is the case, you are not helping me unprincipled. You feel sorry for those upright enemies, respect the literati with integrity, and even Shen Che who wants to put you to death. You are willing to speak out Keeping it down, I understand all of these, in the final analysis, it is to protect my reputation. Because of you, I did not kill more people, and did not become an arbitrary and unscrupulous monarch. But these years, I have never thanked. So now , I can only apologize to you."

Rong Yu looked away, with a quiet expression, and could hear every word clearly.Shen Hui's words were like a stone, casting a circle of ripples in his heart, which was as stagnant as water, and then rippled away.

After smiling for a while, Rong Yu shook his head, "I cannot accept the emperor's apology, it will make me feel panic."

Shen Hui sighed, and said softly, "Don't talk about me, I'm not talking to you as the emperor at the moment. Let's... you just treat me as an old friend for many years. Rong Yu, talk to me, you don't want to be so worried. Think about it, tell me all your grievances, it will be more comfortable."

The word "friend" is good. Fortunately, he didn't mention anything about his lover at this time. Maybe he could use this opportunity to express his heart wantonly, but it's a pity that the words came to his lips, and he still found it hard to say.

Rong Yu took a deep breath and said calmly, "I don't feel wronged, those things have long passed. After so many years, I have learned to explain myself and let go. But there is one thing, it seems that no matter how hard I try to forget Or play it down, there will always be someone who will keep reminding me, asking me to recognize it.”

Looking up at Shen Hui, he said slowly, "I am a human being. If people in the world don't want to call me a man, they can at least not add any insulting words in front of the word "herringbone". This is what I think in my heart. It has nothing to do with grievances, but a wish. But now it seems that it is just my extravagant wish."

Shen Hui listened in a daze, and gradually, three points of sadness and seven points of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Rong Yu," he said with timidity in his heart, but he still tried his best to release his infinite compassion, full of eagerness, "I understand, I understand your wish. That will not be a luxury, at least in my heart, you have always been A man, pure and good. Not only a man, but also a gentleman. You should be praised by the world, and I will help you achieve your wish."

Rong Yu smiled noncommittally, "There are so many people talking, so many people's hearts, even you, the emperor, can't force it to come."

Shen Hui's expression was gloomy, and he didn't try to hide anything. Suddenly, a tear was about to fall from the corner of his eye. He let it fall and ignored it.

Like a drowning person, Shen Hui tightly grasped a wet corner of his clothes, but he didn't dare to touch the cold-looking person in front of him, "Don't go, okay, I know you're bored, I was careless, I The irrelevant people should have been dismissed long ago...My momentary selfishness and the benevolence of a woman have caused today's disaster, give me a chance to make up for it, okay?"

Rong Yu licked his dry lips, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly took the initiative to hold his hand. The fingertips of the confident emperor were trembling.He noticed it, and chuckled, "I just want to stay by myself for a while, and I didn't think about leaving."

Shen Hui raised his eyes full of confusion, Rong Yu smiled slightly, and nodded at him, "When I go away, I'm escaping. I made a promise before, and I won't go back on it just because of a little setback. The emperor looks down on people too much. Don't you have any perseverance?"

On the one hand, he stretched out his hand, and gently wiped the tear stains on Shen Hui's face, there was a warmth between his brows and eyes, and it seemed that there was some moisture in the air.

"Rong Yu, I will treat you well." Shen Hui recalled, unable to hide his surprise, "From now on, you will only stay by my side and will not go anywhere. We are here, dependent on each other. "

This sentence of being dependent on each other is probably equivalent to growing old together with one's son. Life is so floating, even if the dreams are broken one day, it can make people have no regrets.They looked at each other and smiled, and thousands of words were just melted into this smile.

All worries and worries were put down, and Shen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He insisted on finishing the bowl of porridge again. After seeing the bottom of the porridge bowl with his own eyes, he reassuredly told him to take a good rest, and he must regain his energetic appearance tomorrow morning. just work.

Rong Yu said yes, and looked at him deeply again, "Queen, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Shen Hui pondered for a while, without showing any emotion, and still said gently, "She asks for benevolence, and I can fulfill it." After speaking, she was a little vigilant, and asked with a frown, "Aren't you trying to intercede for her again? You should hate her." right."

What's the point in hating someone who's lost so badly?No matter how strong the hatred is, it will be your own heart that devours it. Tolerance and answer are not, "You said it, this is the result she wanted, so why bother to plead for mercy. I can't be a saint, and I won't waste my energy to hate She, too, will not forgive what she tried to do to me."

Shen Hui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, don't think too much, I'll be here with you tonight."

So this extremely absurd matter was finally suppressed by Shen Hui within the scope of the inner court, and then a ban was issued, and anyone who dared to mention this matter would be sentenced to death.And all the witnesses in Kunning Palace that day were exiled to the imperial tomb by him. As for whether they still have the ability to speak, Rong Yu didn't ask any more questions.

Two days later, Shen Hui approved Qin Ruozhen's earlier performance, and ordered him to leave the palace the next year and go to the ancestral temple to practice.

There was a lot of disputes in the court. Although it was the emperor's family matter, it was also a state matter in the final analysis.Some people tried their best to justify the deposed empress, and others relied on the scene at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to speculate that the deposed Zhonggong was due to tolerance and framing, and the memorials to impeach him for alienating the empress were presented to Shen Hui one after another.

Under the divergent opinions, Rong Yu remained silent all the time, which caused Lin Sheng to persuade him again and again, "Your Excellency, you really don't want to plead for the abolished queen? Even if it's just a show. Now that there are so many people in the court accusing you, if you don't say a word, They're more aggressive."

Even Chuanxi couldn't help knowing the advantages and disadvantages, "You have always been the most magnanimous, you can afford it and let it go, besides, this is a good time for you to please the emperor, as a courtier, it's not good to really betray the lord and his wife Besides, you are only carrying a false name, if you can prove it, it will be worth it..."

However, Rong Yu never said a word, even if a spokesperson reprimanded and questioned him face to face, he would just listen to a few words quietly, then turned around and left, even more unwilling to refute the matter.

I don't want to make all the ministers speechless in the end, but it turns out to be the memorabilia written by the crown prince.The young Shen Xian spoke earnestly, even going back to the precedents of this dynasty, and supported Shen Hui's claim based on reason.At first, Rong Yu also thought that the filial piety of Shen Xian's attendant mother should be because he wanted to let Qin Ruozhen leave, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

After the incident, Shen Xian came to Rong Yu in person and sincerely apologized, "Master, I'm sorry. I said this to you on behalf of my mother alone. I know that you are wholeheartedly loyal to your father, and you have always respected your mother." .Actually, she shouldn't hate you, and she hated the wrong person too... It's just that she's too proud to allow her father to trust others more than her. No matter what, she shouldn't treat you like that, and stand alone for her I feel sad... I hope that the factory minister can forget about this matter and stay with the emperor to take good care of him in the future."

He said, bowed his head and smiled shyly, "Don't worry, Gu will forget about it."

The seven-year-old prince showed his generosity and benevolence for the first time.

Rong Yu was surprised and grateful at the same time, but in fact there was no need to say much, so he raised his hand and gave him a deep bow.

Reciprocate, from now on, Rong Yu will pay special attention to everything related to Shen Xian.Shen Xian also regards him as a friend he can confide in, and from time to time he will ask him for help with schoolwork.

In the winter of the ninth year of Tianshou, Qin Ruozhen, the deposed queen, left the forbidden court and went to the place where the imperial mausoleum was.

It was a day with a bitter new wind and thick clouds.Rong Yu boarded the tower of Donghua Gate, watching the sky dry up under the sun, Qin Ruozhen didn't look back at the Forbidden City behind him, and resolutely boarded the car and left.

It was a relief for her to accept it like this. As for the wrong payment that happened in her best years, it was probably just a melancholy old dream. After waking up, there was nowhere to find her.
