Sheng Shi Merciful Light

King Ding's doubts were all gone, and he couldn't doubt that he was a virtuous grandson with his own daughter when she was a child.

Wang Ziguang heaved a sigh of relief.

He felt that his brain was hurting, and the old prince was not easy to deal with at first glance. He had to search all over his memory, and found the childhood memory of blackmailing his brothers that the beautiful woman once shared with her sick son. His uncle made a fortune to get away with it.

However, this kind of "blackmail" has low risk and high return, and it seems that it can be carried out more often.

(^___^)y oh yeah~!

King Ding asked Chaoyang about his concubine Zuo's treatment.Chaoyang said: "Things that are not on the table, there is no need to dirty my hands because of her, so I just locked her in the backyard and transferred all the waiters, and then went to the palace and invited nuns to decorate the Buddhist hall, and taught her how to behave. That's all."

"What did Wang Chongjian say?" When King Ding mentioned this name, both he and Shizi Xian were disgusted.

Chaoyang also sneered: "Go into the palace and let Concubine Xie give him ten beauties. I want to see how long his 'true love' for Zuo can last."

King Ding hated him when he mentioned him, and said: "Since we can't live on, it's better to just make up."

"Anyway, I haven't met the right person. Suo'er is still young, so I don't want to mention this." Chaoyang said, not wanting to keep mentioning his dark history, so he talked about other things, "I don't want to continue living in Wang's house, I want to Live in the Enlightenment Garden nearby." The Enlightenment Garden mentioned by Chaoyang means that King Ding separated his huge palace and formed a courtyard of his own as a dowry for his daughter, which is just east of Prince Ding's mansion.

King Ding nodded: "It was originally given to you for this day. You just need to move here, and the staff for serving and guarding will be directly transferred from the palace."

Chaoyang responded, and Shizi Xian expressed his welcome. No matter how much the whole family loves this younger sister, they don't think it is too much.

After talking about private matters, the secret conversation entered a formal stage. King Ding talked about what happened in the palace recently, mainly related to the ninth prince Mu Ci, and said: "The ninth prince born to Concubine Xie Chen has left the cold palace and moved into the Chonghua Palace. He was named the King of Changle. He is indeed your uncle's father's son, and I didn't believe that Concubine Chen would have an affair with a foreigner back then, but now I finally see the light of day."

Prince Xian didn't know about the affairs of the court, so he asked: "Is there any evidence?" It's useless to admit such things.

King Ding recalled that in that situation, the Ninth Prince was still so calm and calm that he didn't look like a 16-year-old boy. There is no relevant information on the dish, even the name 'ci' is just some characters prepared by the royal family, and they are used in order." I have never seen such a scribbled prince.But no matter how sloppy it is, it can't stand the evil spirit of the Ninth Prince's attributes, "But that young man is sharp and intelligent. It exposed the conspiracy of the Imperial Hospital colluding with outsiders to tarnish the blood of the prince."

Presumably with such powerful evidence, the Emperor Tianshou would quickly fill in other evidence for him.

Chaoyang cared about Mu Ci the most, so he raised his heart when he heard the words, and asked, "Father, I only know that Ah Ci is out of the cold palace. Specifically, why did Uncle Huang call him out? What happened? He still... seems to be unbearable." For minor injuries, I ask my father to explain everything."

King Ding stopped talking. There are some things that he feels dirty even to say, and it is really not suitable for everyone to know, not only to protect that beautiful, fragile and evil boy, but also because... he couldn't bear to dirty the ears of his own children.

Princess Chaoyang saw his father's expression, and knew that the situation was more complicated and serious than she imagined. When she thought of her little brother's grievances, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and stepped forward to grab King Ding's hand: "Father, Don't make me guess, I often visit him in the palace, and I have to know some taboos..."

This is true.

King Ding only said: "I have promised to keep some things secret, even the closest people can't tell." The lucky person made a promise, and those who agreed would usually do it. King Ding could only say to his daughter, "Ninth Prince You have suffered a lot these years, and if you want to enter the palace to accompany him, I will not stop you. As for what happened and why you were injured... He is willing to tell you and you just listen, and you don’t want to ask. In fact, I suggest You act as if nothing has happened... For some things, forgetting is actually a good thing for everyone and the Ninth Prince."

Princess Chaoyang has never seen such a secretive attitude from his father, and this can only explain one point - the injuries Mu Ci has suffered in the past few years are also horrific for Ding Wang, a veteran who is used to life and death on the battlefield. of.Or it was so filthy that he didn't bother to mention it.

Princess Chaoyang doesn't live in an ivory tower, and because she can't get a definite answer, she inevitably uses a woman's rich imagination... Chaoyang couldn't bear it. His expression was messed up, he was short of breath but seemed powerless, his whole body was trembling...

She has been taking care of her son for several years, and she hasn't visited her little brother for a long time, but...

"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Wang Ziguang was anxious, grabbing the beautiful lady's hand and shaking it desperately.

Xian Shizi quickly grabbed his sister's shoulders to comfort him: "No matter what happens, it is not your responsibility, no need to blame yourself. The king of Changle has been out of the cold palace, and the prince is also under confinement..." Before the words fell, Xian Shizi realized that he had said something wrong .Then he saw the girl he hadn't cried for a long time, tears welling up from her eyes...

"Did the crown prince hurt him?" Chaoyang asked.

King Ding and Prince Xian turned their faces away, but it was already a good answer.

Chaoyang subconsciously doesn't think about some filthy things, she's afraid she won't be able to bear them.Just think it was the prince who went to the Leng Palace to bully him and beat him... just this is enough to make people feel heartbroken, Chaoyang felt boundless self-blame in his heart, and murmured: "I don't know... I don't know anything... I don't know... How could I not know? I haven't seen Xiao... A Ci for so many years... I didn't know he was being hurt all the time, really damn it, right? Damn... how could I leave you alone... Let you suffer like this... how did you survive?"

She didn't know, such a beautiful, delicate, clever and innocent boy, who would have the heart to hurt him?In fact, Chaoyang had secretly seen the injuries on Mu Ci's body when Mu Ci was teaching him fitness techniques. There were scars everywhere on his arms, shoulders, and collarbone... There must be more scars where the clothes blocked him.

She imagined that little Ah Ci was caught by the prince and hurt...it must be very painful.At that time, how old was he, how fragile and helpless, painful and desperate he should be.

Have you ever expected her to appear to save him?

But in the end... no one knew at all, and no one went to redeem him. He was the only one, a small person, suffering alone in the deepest and most terrifying hell.

Thinking about facing the sun, she trembled in pain, guilt almost overwhelmed her.

——This morning in Chonghua Palace, why, after you have experienced torture, can you still be calm and calm, as if nothing happened?Ah Ci, how did you say "I don't blame you"?When he looked at me, his eyes were still as warm and soft as when he was a child, and he could still smile at me.

Is your heart bleeding?

Why not blame me?

You should blame me, blame me, so I feel better.

Or do you not care anymore?You don't care about anything, not even your own life... Are you feeling hopeless about me and this world?

Chaoyang's mind was in chaos, it was full of Mu Ci's dark and menacing eyes, washed to ashes, even the ashes were blown away, and there was nothing left, not stained with dust.

That's why it's so peaceful!

Only then will there be no nostalgia for this world at all!

……

King Ding looked at his daughter and thought: It is right not to tell her all the truth, otherwise the daughter who has always been kind-hearted and values ​​love and righteousness will take the responsibility on himself, just like this silly girl who took the responsibility of the boss Mu Xizhen. The responsibility for death also rests on oneself.

That's why she didn't get along, didn't pursue new happiness, and locked her heart in a cage of guilt in a way of self-restraint.

Prince Xian hugged his younger sister's shoulders and coaxed softly: "Sister, it's over. He's fine now, and he will be better in the future. Our eyes must look forward."

Xian Shizi kept stroking Chaoyang's back with one hand to give her comfort.Prince Xian has an easy-going personality. Chaoyang may hide some things from his serious father and serious elder brother, but he will almost always tell him what is in his heart. How about the fairy?" "The little fairy is so cute..." It lasted until she got married and gave birth to a child.

Prince Xian knew his sister's feelings for Concubine Xie Chen, and also regarded the Ninth Prince as his younger brother.

Wang Ziguang also held his mother's hand with both hands and shook vigorously: "Mother, mother...don't cry, it will be fine."

Chaoyang was alarmed by his son's call.Chaoyang stared blankly at his son, then at Prince Xian, and then at his father.

Chaoyang saw her father's wise and calm eyes, still flickering with a cold edge, a light flashed in his mind...

"Father, you are always well aware of what happens in the palace, so you must have known about Ah Ci being bullied, right? So, I have never been able to enter the palace these years..." Zhaoyang recalled, these few days Although she had no time to take care of her son in [-], there were a few times when she was free and planned to go to the palace to see Mu Ci, but she would always be caught up in various things and couldn't make the trip. Now that I think about it, many times it was Prince Ding handwriting.

There are not so many coincidences in this world, but it is a pity that Chaoyang has never had the slightest doubt about his loving father.

King Ding nodded calmly: "Yes, I know. It is indeed I who prevented you from entering the palace."

Because King Ding knew early on that the prince was not only abusing him, but also treating his younger brother in such a dirty way... King Ding didn't want his daughter to be involved in such dirty things.With her daughter's personality, she will definitely take care of it to the end, but it is obviously not a good deal to go up against the crown prince for a bastard of unknown blood in Lenggong.

If you are hated for this matter, the prince will ascend the throne in the future...

"Why didn't you stop it? Why did you stop me from entering the palace? Why...why didn't you save him earlier?" Chaoyang complained loudly.

"Because the person I want to protect is you, and I can't let you get involved in the gossip in the palace. You're already in too deep." Ding Wang said, "Originally, you shouldn't have gone to see King Changle today. Wouldn't it be a drag on the family if you didn't think about it at all?"

Chaoyang exploded, rushed forward and grabbed his father's skirt and shook him: "What did you say to protect me, just to clean yourself up, for fear of being dragged down by me. Knowing that I love Ah Ci, I actually watched Ah Ci suffer... ...Father, why are you so cold-blooded?"

King Ding was indifferent: "I'm cold-blooded? Chaoyang, you are my daughter, you are the last person to accuse me like this. And who is he to me? What obligation do I have to protect him? It's so interesting, he was imprisoned by his own father, My own brother abused... Which one of them is not a serious crime? At most, I can't "see the injustice, draw the sword to help", but which thing in the palace can I "draw the sword"? Are you accusing me?"

Prince Xian hurriedly went to get Chaoyang down, hugged him in his arms and comforted him: "Little sister, my father also has difficulties, and we are a big family, it is very serious to be implicated in the right and wrong of the palace."

Chaoyang understood, holding her head in pain, she was treated tenderly by Mu Ci like this, she didn't deserve it!

King Ding hated iron for being weak: "Today, you pretended to be a tiger, and used my banner to stand beside that child and put on a posture. Now you are accusing me? Chaoyang, no matter what, I am your father and king. What I do, I will be punished." Just for you!"

Everyone in the world can accuse King Ding of being cold-blooded, except Chaoyang.
