Brother Donggong

"Give me your hand."

I thought I heard it wrong, and I looked at Chu Chu blankly, and he said again, "Let me see." Because I was holding the zither in my left hand, I stretched out my right hand, Chu Qiang shook her head, so I held the zither in my left hand. The kite switched to my right hand and extended my left hand to him.

Chu Qiang changed drastically.

His hands are no longer smooth and delicate, because he has built a grave for the three generations of his family all summer, and there are still a few thin calluses on the palm of his hand, but his hands are extremely hot, like a fire rising in the cold winter months.He opened my left hand, and his fingertips followed a messy line in the center, gently down to my veins.

"The lifeline...is too chaotic and too short..."

I heard about it from Yuezheng, and I know that people in the Dazheng court love fortune-telling, and believe in ancestors, ghosts, Buddhas, and all the totems of living or dead things in the mountains and rivers.When they have nothing to do, they like to take out the bamboo dice and ask God about their future fate.

It is said that fate can be fixed, but luck can be changed.

I don't believe this.

The magic stick is talking nonsense, defrauding money and people.

Chu Qiangsheng bent my fingers and let them curl up, and his palm wrapped my fingers, and my fingers were closed in the palm, like a baby sleeping soundly beside its mother.

He said, "Back then, when I was studying in Yuzheng Palace, I should have left you alone. With your unruly temperament, this lifeline might not be so short and complicated. People like you are not suitable for studying." .”

Yuezheng interrupted suddenly, "Has Brother Yi ever read?"

I nodded, and Chu Qiangsheng said, "Yes."

Yuezheng, "Is it also taught by Master?"

Chu Chu nodded, she didn't know what she thought of, and there was an extremely light but distant smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yuezheng, "Then why is brother Yi's handwriting still so ugly? Every time Brother Six reads the letter that brother Yi wrote to him carefully, I would have nightmares, always afraid that those words were written by me, so scared Can't sleep at all."

I'm speechless.

Chu Qiangsheng did not speak.

After a long time, Chu Qiangsheng said, "To be able to eat and play truant in the Yuzheng Palace, insult the bachelor's servants, knock out the cabinet minister with a slingshot, disregard the dignity, make friends with the prince privately, protect the eunuchs, and still roam the Forbidden Palace without learning or skill. For a thousand years, there has only been one Cheng Yi. Seventh Highness, don't imitate him. Today I have to recite a chapter from the "Book of Rites" in the university. Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have to take a homework test. Same."

His voice was still so soft, like catkins in March Imperial City, but Yuezheng didn't dare to resist at all. He quickly crawled out of my arms, sat on the chair, picked up the book straightly, and said every word read up.When I left here, Yuezheng's immature and clear reading sound was like the densest needle, passing through the most impenetrable imperial city in the world, following me like a shadow.

I was on the magnificent sky street, looking at the black tiles and vermilion walls that almost reached into the sky on both sides, my fingers subconsciously wanted to grab the decree of the deposed prince in my sleeve, and suddenly stopped.The wind picked up, and a few fallen leaves were swept up by the strong wind and rushed straight into the sky.

There is nothing in my sleeve.

The decree of the deposed prince that determined the fate of the dynasty for thousands of years disappeared.

Maybe it was because I was in a daze just now and didn't notice that it was lost.I hurried back and searched along the way I came here until I arrived at Penglai Pavilion, in front of a huge light stone. I saw the black imperial decree with a dragon pattern, leaning against the strange flower in front of the big stone in a posture that wanted to conceal. On the grass, I lowered my head, stretched out my hand, and wanted to pick it up again... Another person appeared in front of my eyes, a pair of boots, black, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on them, and a longan on the toe Big pearls.A pair of slender hands picked up the half-opened imperial decree in an arrogant posture.

I look up.

The scorching sun is like a fire, covering everything.

The back of the visitor was facing the sun, his face was hidden in the shadows, only those bright eyes seemed distant and elusive.

The crown prince handed the black tapestry scroll to me, "Is this yours?"

There seemed to be fog all around.

I could barely hear what he was talking about, just nodded blankly, and then stretched out my hands, ready to catch what he handed over, but he hesitated, glanced at me, and took back the silk tapestry scroll. A deathly indifference opened the imperial edict...

How could it fall out?

How could it be possible to fall in front of Wen Zhan?

What kind of hatred does this world have against me? Why don't I just die?

Wen Zhan finished reading it expressionlessly, then gently rolled up the Kesi scroll little by little, and then handed it to me directly. I took a step back and didn't take it.

"Take it."

He reached out, grabbed my wrist, and stuffed it directly into my hand.

I am still very confused now, one of them was not held securely, the scroll fell to the ground and rolled away, and the neat small script inside appeared under the sky in an instant, at this time, a fallen leaf fell on it like finding fault , circled a sentence: Violent and promiscuous, hard to say...

All of a sudden, he asked me, "Want my crown prince?"

"Say! Do you want to be crown prince?"

I was frightened by his gloom and shook my head hastily.

He bent down, picked up the Kesi scroll, and pulled me past me, "This is what you have to give up... In fact, as long as you say a word, I can do anything. If I beg you, I can get you. I would rather kneel down." Please!"

After finishing speaking, he actually laughed, "It's not that I have never kneeled before. My knees are precious. I kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, kneel to Junfu, and I also kneel to you in the boudoir. Chengyi, why don't you know, my Man, my life is yours, as long as you want, take it at any time!"

I tried to suppress my trembling teeth, and said tremblingly, "Wen Zhan, listen to me...it's not me..."

"What is the taste?"

He suddenly lowered his head, touched my cheek, caressed it like a mandarin duck crossing its neck, but suddenly pushed me away, "This scent is rose musk, a tribute from the South China Sea, and it is very valuable. You never use this kind of incense, but There is only one person who dares to use this kind of incense in the whole palace..."

He read almost word for word clearly, "Yue Zheng!"

"Chengyi, you have a bad memory, and you always forget what I said. I said, as long as you see Yuezheng again, I will lock you up in the dungeon of the clan's mansion and keep it dark until you die. I will let you live forever." For the rest of my life, I will never see him again! Come, the Seventh Son of the Emperor Yuezi..."

He paused, and said to me seriously, "Don't look at me like that, Chengyi."

Me, "You should know that this matter has nothing to do with Yuezheng, it's all my fault, you shouldn't take it out on him."

Wen Zhan, "You are so kind. The Gaochang pariah in your house with ulterior motives and unknown origin tried to kill me several times. You protect me, Cui Bicheng, and the lady of the Yin family. You protect me. Until now, someone has taken the zither If you want to make a fuss about your identity and want to usurp the throne, are you still protecting it?"

I looked at him in shock, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, the world still belongs to the emperor, abolishing the crown prince is nothing like seeking to usurp the throne!"

He sneered, but didn't answer my words.

He just turned his head and said to the people behind him, "Come here, imprison His Royal Highness Yuezheng into the clan mansion, and..." He paused, looked at me and said, "Chu Qiangsheng, a bachelor, don't meditate To teach the prince, but to fall into the struggle for power and wealth, I will immediately remove him from the post of cabinet bachelor and imprison him together."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

My throat seemed to be tied up with a rope, and I couldn't utter a word.

It's just that my heart seems to be bitten by insects, and it hurts so badly.

I raised my hand subconsciously and pressed my chest, but Wen Zhan looked at me with a sneer, "I use this trick every time, it's not new, if I feel sorry for me, I'll take out something real."

I shook my head, "It's not...Your Highness, Chuchu, he..." He has the talents of the world, and his chest is as deep as a city, so he can only comfort, not provoke.

However, I didn't have a chance to say it. Wen Zhan raised his cold smile, "Chuchu? You are so kind! Liu Congrong, escort Chengyi out of the palace. Listen."

He pointed at me and said, "If you still have a little bit of love from the past in your heart, you can stay at home these days. It is okay to embrace the red and lean on the green, but it is not allowed to seek the court and usurp the throne!"
