Brother Donggong

Cui Bicheng leaned against the bead curtain and bowed slightly towards the prince, but his posture was arrogant.

He said: "The so-called different ways, not conspiring with each other, Cui is ashamed of loving the prince wrongly."

Wen Zhan lowered his head slightly, as if to return the salute, but also as if not.

He also said: "Since this is the case, the mountains in Yongjing are high and the waters are far away, and the ravines are criss-crossing. Mr. Cui, please take care."

It's a deal breaker.

Cui Bicheng opened the door and stepped out.

After a while, Cucumber and Liu Congrong came in from the outside. Cucumber was still holding a tray in his hand, and inside was a small bowl of ginger noodles, my favorite food.

Wen Zhan sat down and waited for Cucumber to bring the bowl to his hand. He glanced at Cucumber, "Go upstairs and have a look. Is Cheng Yi asleep? We were talking a little too loudly just now, I'm afraid I'll wake him up .”

Cucumber said. : Don't worry, Your Highness, our lord fell asleep after dinner today. You don't know that he is sleeping, even if there is a thunderstorm, our lord will only be a mosquito humming, how can he wake up?

Wen Zhan glanced at him again, and Cucumber hurriedly said, "I'll go and have a look, servant girl."

Cucumber walked up the stairs lightly, and just turned around the bamboo curtain when he saw me standing here, he was taken aback for a moment, and just about to speak, I shook my head at him, he saw it, nodded, and walked straight from me Walk around.Cucumber even went to my bed and adjusted my empty quilt before going downstairs again.

I heard him say to Wen Zhan: "Your Highness, our prince slept soundly, and the snot bubbles came out."

Liu Congrong was delighted to hear that, but when he saw Wen Zhan eating noodles in silence, he immediately covered his mouth.

After Wen Zhan finished eating the noodles, he told them to put away their things, and said to Liu Congrong, "Tell them to turn off the lights here, and you all go down too, I'll wait for him."

Cucumber glanced at Wen Zhan and said cautiously: "Your Highness, although it is now spring, it is very cold at night, and there are no warm clothes or thin quilts on the side of the water pavilion attic. If you catch cold here, it is the servants I am guilty of this. This servant has the guts to say, if you have something to say to the prince, this servant will go upstairs and ask him to come down. If you tell him what you want to say, don’t wait here any longer.”

Wen Zhan didn't even look at Cucumber: "There's no need to go. He doesn't like being woken up in the middle of the night when he's asleep. I can wait."

After a while, Liu Congrong said: "Your Highness, I will see Du Yu tomorrow morning to inquire about the Eastern Navy's salary. There is a flower hall in front of the waterside pavilion. There are beds and quilts. I will wait for you to rest there."

Wen Zhan glanced at him: "If you want to rest, go and rest, I won't go anywhere, just wait here."

His voice is not high, but has a frightening coldness.

There was a moment of dead silence in the room.

Perhaps it was Cucumber Liu Congrong and the others who saw that Wen Zhan was really angry, so they didn't dare to persuade him anymore. Liu Congrong put Wen Zhan's cloak on the wooden chair over there, ate quickly, extinguished the gauze lantern, and went out with Cucumber .

The room suddenly darkened, and it was extremely quiet outside.

Wen Zhan sat on the wooden chair and looked out the window. His posture was correct, as if he was studying in Yuzheng Palace, even with a bit of pious taste, as if the domineering prince just now, who was obedient, prospered and perishes, suddenly became a saint in front of him. of civilian students.

Seeing his appearance, he was suddenly a little angry.It seemed that I was an unreasonable bad guy, who was sleeping all over himself, and asked him to leave government affairs and run here, and wait without sleep in the middle of the night.

From the looks of others, he must be very wronged.

However, even so, I don't really want to talk to him.

The reason, well... yes, we had another fight.

It's not my fault, after all, no one likes to have their hands tied when they have nothing to do, and they are raped for one night, and they can't even get off the ground the next day.

So when I'm angry I should, I don't even want to talk to him this month.

only……

After I heard his conversation with Cui Bicheng, I was very worried about old Cui.The prince recruited Cui Bicheng himself, but the talks fell apart in the end. Although I understand why old Cui insisted on it like this, judging from the current situation, the prince wants to kill Cui Bicheng.

If the crown prince really killed Lao Cui in a flash of power, how could I live like this!

Oh, I can't think about it anymore, my head is starting to hurt, I'd better sleep first, and think about such a complicated and heavy problem tomorrow.

I covered my forehead, walked back to the bed lightly, and got under the quilt.

When I closed my eyes, I was still thinking about it. Anyway, Wen Zhan will return to Weiyin Hall to meet Du He tomorrow morning. Mr. Du Ge is not a good person. Wen Zhan will not take it lightly. He should leave my place before dawn Back to the Dazheng Palace, as long as I sleep a little longer, naturally I won't be able to touch him.

So I counted the stars in my heart, turned over and fell asleep.

……

It's just that it's near the water, and it's very cold at night. What should he do if he catches a cold?

The waterside attic is full of hardwood furniture. Although it is covered with silk cushions, it is uncomfortable to lie on. If he is sleepy and wants to tilt for a while, what should he do if he knocks his head?

……

This night, my mind was like a revolving lantern. For a while, Zhu Bajie was drunk and lying in the flowers, for a while, it was Qin Qiong fighting Ximen Qing, and then it was Guan Gong riding a donkey to read the song book, and finally it was Cui Yingying who beat him to death in Guanxi .

Finally, when Cui Yingying's pink fist hit Zhenguanxi's strong body, and she babbled and yelled "Heroine, spare me" in pain, I was shocked and woke up in a cold sweat DC.

I lifted the quilt covering my head and looked outside the window. It was gray and there was a slight sound hitting the window frame. It seemed to be raining... The prince should go back...

"Cucumber...cucumber...get me some water..."

I yelled twice, then pulled off my robe and put it on. I was about to go downstairs when I put on my shoes, but I heard light footsteps on the other side of the stairs. out 'Why haven't you left yet? 'Turned three times on the tip of the tongue, and immediately became: "You, why are you here?!"

It was Prince Wen Zhan who walked over there!

Wen Zhan was still wearing the white silk robe from last night. It was very straight and neat, and there seemed to be few wrinkles on the sleeves.He held an ebony box in his hand, on which were eighteen faint white south beads.

I recognize that box!

That is the box containing the crown prince's birthday jade pendant!

All the princes of Dazheng have a jade pendant like this, surrounded by nine dragons, engraved with their names in the center, wrapped with black and gold silk threads, they are not discarded when they are alive, and they must be buried together when they die.

In general, the jade material is chosen by the harem concubine who gave birth.

My jade pendant was found by my mother. It is an ordinary piece of Xijiang Hetian jade. It is white and translucent, but it is not very valuable.My mother said that the Nan stuff is too expensive, and I'm afraid it will hinder me and make it difficult for me to support myself.

But the crown prince's jade pendant is different, that piece of jade was a tribute from Nanzhao, a serious glass type, imperial green jadeite, precious one in a million, and has a market price! !

Wen Zhan opened the box, and sure enough, what was wrapped in black velvet was his extremely precious, transparent and fresh green jade pendant.

I put on my shoes and was about to go there, but Wen Zhan looked at me and said softly, "Stand there, don't move."

"how……"

I listened to what he said, stood here, watched him walk over step by step, and then went to my bed, put the box in my hand, his hand tightly grasped my wrist, but he was on my side He knelt down on one knee in front of him.

I was frightened, I struggled to get up, and was held tightly by him, I stammered and asked "...you...what are you doing...

"Chengyi, don't move, I have something to say."

Wen Zhan remained calm, but the strength with which he grabbed my wrist was astonishing, like a leopard out of its cage. "I'm sorry for being rough with you that night."

I endured it and asked him in a low voice, "Is this what you want to say?"

"no."

I"……"

"Chengyi, I've thought about it these past few days. We can't go on like this. I thought about giving you time to accept me slowly, but unfortunately, you rejected me step by step. You You are very good at making progress, constantly testing my limits, and every time I force you to recognize your own mind, you use words like 'we are brothers' to prevaricate me."

His words had a sharpness that couldn't be ignored, like a sharp knife, directly splitting my heart. I couldn't stand the staring at each other, so I turned my head, but he clasped my chin and made me look at him.

"Chengyi, I will only say what I said today.

I am the one who fell in love with my own brother, and I am the one who should go to the eighteen hells after death. Even so, I will not let you go. "

"This is Prince Dazheng's birthday jade pendant, and you have one too. You know what this jade pendant represents. Life and death go hand in hand.

I give you my jade pendant, it is yours, and I am yours too.

I "Wen Zhan, I..."

Wen Zhan's hand held my wrist firmly with a kind of firmness.

"I won't force you this time. You can take my jade pendant or just throw it away. I came here just to tell you what I think. I hope you can accept me and my feelings. There must be something between us. There will be love and affection, just like ordinary couples. You can refuse my courtship with various reasons, such as you are tired, sick, or just not interested, but you must never use 'we are Brother' come to prevaricate me. If you refuse to accept me, then I have only one way to go, cut my throat with a short knife."

I was scared to death by him, I grabbed his hand, "Wen Zhan, you!"

"Chengyi, accept me or kill me, choose one. Other than that, you have no other way to go."
