Brother Donggong

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a very familiar curtain.

This is my prayer palace.

In the far distance a window was wide open, and I could see a pool of water in the house, covered with water lilies, and summer grass growing on the bank.There was surrounded by cucumbers and purple bamboos, and the original barren grass was divided into pieces. I bought some rare flowers from Pei Tan from Xijiang from Chu Qiangsheng. There is a kind of flower that looks like spreading wings. Miaoyinniao, in the early morning of summer night, the whole courtyard is covered with a layer of very light dewdrops, and the same is true on the petals of the first blooming flowers. Looking from my side, the flower is extremely beautiful and colorful, like a young and vibrant flower. For women, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable.

"cucumber!"

"Cucumber!—where did you die?"

I yelled a few times, and a little eunuch came over, and at a glance he knew it wasn't a cucumber. He lowered his head, and came over with warm tea for me to drink.

"Where did you come from? East Palace One?"

He quickly said, "The prince doesn't know the servant girl, the servant girl is Zeng Lin, who works in the food prison."

Me, "So I worked as an errand in the catering supervisor? Then what are you doing now?"

He kept his head down, and I said, "It's a good thing, you raise your head and talk, don't let me look at your head."

He looked up.

I looked at him and felt a bit of a toothache, "Are you that incompetent seventh brother of Cucumber?"

"The servants dare not climb high. The servants have nothing to do with Chief Manager Huang Congchang Huang."

"Then why do you look so much like a cucumber?... No, where's the cucumber?"

Such a big incident happened yesterday. I was unlucky to go to my grandma’s house. Now I was assassinated, and then I encountered the unimaginable massacre of the "World Bodyguard Bureau". People are unconscious, if the crown prince comes at this juncture, he will be able to take my anger out on my people, tie them all up, and spank them.Or just throw Wannian Jiran to roast sweet potatoes.

I pulled that Zeng Lin over and shouted, "Is the prince here? Where's the cucumber?"

He seemed to be frightened by me, he was trembling, his upper and lower teeth kept fighting, but he didn't speak.I was so angry, I pushed him away, and I jumped up from the bed, maybe because I got up a little too hard, and my head was dizzy three times, that newcomer quickly helped me, "My lord , what's wrong with you?"

"Go away, I don't have time to care about you at this time. By the way, where is Cui Bicheng?"

At least Zeng Lin stopped trembling, and finally straightened his tongue, which was always knotted, "Here, Mandala Flower House."

When I arrived at the Twelve Mandala Flower Pavilion, Cui Bicheng was still sleeping, and unexpectedly, I saw Lin Ruoqian outside.

"Oh, Imperial Physician Lin is here too, so just put your heart in your stomach."

He told me that Cui Bicheng had already taken medicine for the wound on his neck, and now he was a little feverish. In addition, when the Tianxia Escort Bureau exploded, he was swept by the air wave, so he fell into a coma all the time.

"But your lord, don't worry too much. Mr. Cui is just sleeping now, breathing steadily, and there is nothing serious."

I took a breath and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Lin, thank you for coming. When Cui Bicheng is well, I'll treat you to a drink of flower wine. Now I'm going to save Cucumber. The prince even found Li Gui, who looks as similar as Cucumber Changyi." I'm afraid Li Kui, the cucumber, will be thrown by the crown prince to roast sweet potatoes!"

Then I turned around and was about to run, but Lin Ruoqian grabbed me by the back of my neck.

"Hey, don't stop me."

"I'm not stopping you." Lin Ruoqian pointed at the Canglang Pavilion, "I'll go with you. They were pressed in the small Canglang Empty Hall, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was watching the memorial in the Canglang Pavilion."

Canglang Pavilion is the most beautiful building in my palace, it looks like a long rainbow straight across the entire misty lake.Over the past hundred years, the ups and downs of the officialdom, several generations of dignitaries, and the floating life in the world have gradually made the painted pillars, carved beams and painted paintings on the surface of the logs gradually mottled, shedding the layer of secular prosperity, but showing the original beautiful lines of mahogany.Behind it is a large area of ​​camellias and maple trees. In the early morning of summer, in the mist, there is a handwritten book on the Canglang Pavilion that has already turned into flying smoke: "The water in the Canglang is clear, you can Wash my tassels, the water of the Canglang is turbid, you can wash my feet'.

In front of the Canglang Pavilion is the Little Canglang Empty Hall, Lin Ruoqian stood far away, and said, "If the prince can persuade the prince to stop, I will treat Director Huang right away."

I looked forward, and my nose was almost twisted by anger.

Cucumber, as well as the guards stationed in our palace, were all detained in front of the empty hall, with numbness stuffed in their mouths, and they were beaten with a board one by one.

I don't care about beating others, but it's not okay to beat cucumbers.

Cucumber is a eunuch, since he cut up that stuff, he can be regarded as a man at all, his body is weak, how can he bear this kind of stick punishment?This style of play, even those rough-skinned and thick-skinned men of the Guards will have to lie down for ten days and a half a month. I feel sorry for Cucumber, who is arrogant and arrogant. I'm going to play mahjong at Hades' place in advance, so where will I go to settle down?

I was about to rush out to ask them to stop me, when Liu Congrong suddenly rushed out from the side, he pulled me aside, and whispered while pulling me, "My lord, this fight is inevitable, let them finish it, The prince is out of breath, and the next person is also easy to deal with."

I was angry, "He is the only guard, he can fight if he likes, if he doesn't fight, I don't care, but the cucumber is not under his control! He can't fight!

Can't he do it the other way around?This is my home, not his East Palace, nor his Dazheng Palace!As soon as Qing Tian Bai Ri came to me and beat me up, my father has never done anything like this!My father also knows how to save some face for me.He arrived, not at all polite.Why don't you just live like this for the rest of your life? I see him like this, we will definitely not get through this life! "

Liu Congrong remained silent.

I looked at him, "Why are you looking at me with a sad face?"

After a long while, he sighed and said, "My lord, I want them to suspend their sentence first. You go and talk to the crown prince. If the prince agrees not to fight, that's a good thing. If he doesn't agree, I won't let them embarrass Huang Congchang again."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the cucumber was let go, and Lin Ruoqian hurried over to see his wound.

"My lord..." Liu Congrong hesitated to speak.

"What happened to you?"

"Your Majesty, when you see the prince, don't go against him. There are some things you don't know yet. Thirty-six shadow guards who secretly protected you were killed. Just yesterday at noon, they were sent to the north without losing their heads. Zhenfusi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a panic at that time, and was about to send someone to find you, and learned that you and Mr. Cui had gone to the Tianxia Escort, and at that time, the Tianxia Escort had bombed the entire Yongjing, and everyone knew about it. Your Highness thought you..."

"For so many years, this servant has never seen His Highness frightened like that. My lord, please be more tolerant of His Highness..."

In the morning mist, Canglang Pavilion is like a skeleton, beautiful and desolate.

Wen Zhan is in the study.

I stood outside the door and looked at him.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen him like this, irritable, impatient, disorganized and irritable.He was holding a cinnabar pen in his hand, and was revising the memorial, but his fingers trembled when he picked up the pen a few times, and he couldn't continue writing. Finally, he slammed the brush and waved his sleeve, and the whole stack of papers on the desk was wiped out. He overturned to the floor and spread it all over the floor.

I sighed again, and walked in bit by bit.

Wen Zhan was panting while crawling on the desk. When he saw me coming, he squeezed a grim smile, "You're here. Are you feeling better?"

I was terrified to see it.

I walked over and picked up the notebooks one by one for him.

According to the Dazheng ancestral system, ministers can be killed but not humiliated, memorials can be ignored, retained, or rejected, but they cannot be torn, thrown, or soiled.

These things, as long as you stay in the Weiyin Temple for a day, you will know everything. Wen Zhan has been in prison for so many years, it is impossible for him not to know.If the bird officials at Yushitai know about this, Wen Zhan will immediately receive an impeachment memorial that is as tall as him, and each of them will quote scriptures, write brilliantly, and guarantee that you will be scolded to pieces. Do you think he is praising you? .

I stacked up the memorials one by one, and saw Wen Zhan sitting there with his head turned to the other side, holding a teacup in his hand, as if he was drinking tea, I looked at the teacup in his hand, and sighed again , the bottom of the tea bowl is dry, and there is no water for a long time. I really don't know what he is doing here lighting a lamp and cooking oil all night?

I asked him, "How about this tea, is it delicious?"

"Fortunately."

I went up and took a teacup from his hand, "It's all right, it's all empty."

I touched the teapot over there again, it was as cold as if it had just been taken out of the ice cellar.So, they called someone and asked them to make a new pot of tea.

I tidied up the last stack of memorials by one yard, and then said, "I'll have someone make a bed for you, where do you want to sleep, over there in my bedroom, or just here in Canglang Pavilion?"

He snorted, "Why, you also know how to use detours? First, say a few good words to make me relax, and then say your request, so that I can want you? By the way, let those derelict slaves Are you letting go?"

I shook my head, "No, I never thought that way. I just thought it was time for you to rest after staying up all night reading the memorial. Besides, I will not let you release me again....I have already released him...this The next incident has nothing to do with cucumbers."

I turned my head and saw him looking at me with a black eye, which reminded me of a wildfire in the wilderness.

I bowed my head and said, "This incident was caused by me accidentally, and I put myself in a dangerous situation. If you have any anger, just take it out on me, just punish me alone, don't blame others. "

He sneered, "Punish you?"

Then he said in a calm voice like a thin mist in a summer morning, "Do you remember whether you eat or not and hit a white-eyed wolf?

If the punishment is light, you will forget it in a moment; if the punishment is heavy, I will not bear it.

I don't even know what your heart is doing?Important people and important things are never forgotten, and only those nonsense are kept on the top of my heart!If I don't teach you a lesson, don't kill a lot of people, and don't let you always remember that your life is related to the lives of hundreds of people in your house, you here..."

Wen Zhan stretched out his hand and grabbed me by the collar, and carried me over. He kept poking my heart with his fingers.

"There will always be a blank here! Ha, I forgot, in fact, you are very affectionate and righteous. Apart from being unkind to me, you are also very affectionate to others."

I was reprimanded by him—I couldn't say a word.

Wen Zhan also said, "What's the matter? Don't dare to look at me with your eyes closed? Chengyi, you have always had such a temper. Do you think that if you don't look at anything or listen to anything, the world will be peaceful?"

He grabbed my jaw and dragged me out.

"Huang Congchang is your slave, but he neglects his duties and can't protect you. He only knows how to cater to your temperament and let you mess around. What do I want him to do with such a slave? I'll kill him today! Kill him right under your skin !I……"

I hugged Wen Zhan and hugged him tightly.

He was cranky and stiff—on the verge of going mad.

I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

At this time, Wen Zhan was also looking down at me.

There was a little confusion in his eyes, but he let go of the finger that was holding my chin.I felt that my cheeks were sore and sore, they must be red.

How many days have I not looked up to take a good look at him?

Back then, the small steamed buns carved in powder and carved with jade are now tormented and almost turned into cabbage buns.

Maybe it's because of staying up late, Wen Zhan's blue eye circles appeared on his white face, and there was a hint of pitifulness,... Well, even if it is pitiful, it is pitiful. Little wolf cub.

In the past, they just dared to come to me to arrest people, but now they have the confidence to come to me to kill people.

I raised my head and gave a dry laugh, "You also said that I don't remember to eat but forget to fight, and forget about big things, so if you are angry with me like this, wouldn't you be more stupid?"

I followed his stiff back with one hand and grunted, and his whole body was tense like a mallet.I added more strength to my hands, kneading vigorously, and imagined Wen Zhan as a dough in my mind. I am just a ramen cook, and Wen Zhan can become round, elongated, and flattened in my hands.

But no matter what I think, there is always a small corner in my heart that holds our most primitive emotions.There is an abyss where no one sets foot, and countless small but sharp sands are buried. Each grain is carved with edges and corners, which often makes the heart dripping with blood, but still emits the most dazzling and dazzling light.

Gradually, Wen Zhan's body became less stiff and softened, and the original immobility and calmness gradually returned.

He wrapped his arms around my body, suddenly with his fingers he pulled off my back collar forcefully, and with his long fingers he picked up a black silk thread that had been tied around my neck. Under the silk thread was his birthday jade pendant.He likes me hanging his stuff like I'm his too.No matter how manic he is, it seems that as long as he touches this jade pendant with his fingers, he will slowly calm down.

It seems that I am a bird in his cage.

That feeling makes me feel chest tight and short of breath all the time.Although it's still far from being suffocating, it's enough to make me forget about eating and not hitting, and forget about my clumsy thoughts when I put my claws on something big, and slowly become slimmer.

His eyes were as clear as the sky.

Wen Zhan lowered his head and forcibly made a red mark on my neck with his teeth and lips. I was thin-skinned and afraid of pain, which made him feel hot and painful.

I rubbed him again and asked, "Aren't you angry? Then I asked Liu Ya to take the cucumber down and have a good rest?"

Liu Congrong seemed to be outside all the time, but he didn't get close. He looked at me from a distance, and I waved at him. He nodded and left after saluting.

Wen Zhan did not refute.

He just let me hold him for a long time before he said, "Chengyi, give me your jade pendant."

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?" I was at a loss.

"Your first prince's birthday jade pendant."

"Oh." I suddenly realized, "It's at my mother's place. I'll bring it to you when I enter the palace some other day."

My nerves gradually became thinner and I suddenly remembered that I had been with him for a while, and I hadn't given him any "token of love". Shock Kyushu.The whole world is his one, what else does he lack?

He wants me a jade pendant, so naturally I will give it to him, since my piece is not worth much anyway.

After the thing was carved, it was hung until my full moon, and my mother put it away by herself.I have never seen it myself, and I don't know if Diaoyi is good-looking, whether it is as exquisite as Wen Zhanyi, so exquisite.

He glared at me, "You are perfunctory."

"No, no, I'm really not here. My mother is a fan of money, and I never let me touch anything better. The queen's natal family is rich, and you have been a prince since you were a child. You have a coin in your hand, so you don't know my mother. One-sided, petty, there is no way."

I rubbed him again.

"Okay, I'll have to come back all the time, and you've beaten me alone in the palace, and your anger has subsided. You stayed up all night, shouldn't it be time to go to sleep?"

He squinted at me, and suddenly pushed me away.

I staggered a few steps and almost fell off my feet.

Wen Zhan pointed at me and said word by word, "Say it again, don't be perfunctory. Don't trick me like a child."

I was about to speak when I heard:

"Your Highness!—"

Across the little Feihong, Liu Congrong hurried over holding something in both hands, when he stepped over the threshold, he tripped over a protruding latch and almost fell into a dog.

He held a wooden box in his arms.Liu Congrong couldn't take care of himself, he lifted the wooden cover of the box, and there was a fold inside, which was to be inspected by the Ministry of War to speed up his entry to Beijing.

The zhezi is sealed with red lacquer, and the purple seal of the governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi is stamped on it.The last date of the memorial was June [-]th, and beside it, it was specifically marked with the word "walnut big" "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and it is strictly limited to arrive in Beijing on June [-]th." '

This is more than 2000 miles from Zhejiang to Yongjing, and it is now the hot season. It is already the morning of June [-]th. According to the law of the Ministry of War, as long as it is before midnight today Just send the rush to Yongjing, they were ten hours early.

Wen Zhan must not be surprised, he seems to have been waiting for this memorial.

He bent down to take out the memorial, removed the oil paper, and pulled it open with a swipe. He read it intently, but couldn't see two lines of words, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What they were talking about, what they were doing, I had no idea, and maybe, I didn't need to know at all.

I'm the one extra.

At this time, gorgeous sunlight shot in through the lake outside the Canglang Pavilion.Such intense white light was like an extremely sharp white blade, blocking Wen Zhan and me.

That is a gap that neither love nor hate can cross.

……

"Your Highness?"

Liu Congrong asked tentatively over there.

Wen Zhan just nodded slightly, "It's ok. You go first."

"Yes."
