Big Han Weiyang
Chapter 31 Distance
"Brother Liu Rong, are you still alive?" I stepped forward in surprise and grabbed his hand.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes quivering slightly.
I thought of Emperor Jing, and said worriedly: "Brother Liu Rong, although I don't know how you escaped from the Lieutenant's Mansion, but my father is still here, how can you return to Beijing? Not only did you return to Beijing, but you actually entered Weiyang. Hurry up!" , we will leave the palace immediately, find a place for you to hide, and wait..."
He raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he was thousands of miles away, so I couldn't help but stop.
"His Royal Highness, you have identified the wrong person. My name is Li Rong, from Huainan."
Li Rong, isn't that Li Rong?He just abandoned the surname Liu and followed his motherhood.Although the appearance is only two or three points similar to when he was a teenager, even Emperor Jing and Liu Che may not recognize him, but I believe he is Liu Rong.
"Brother Liu Rong..." I wanted to continue persuading him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince," he said with a relaxed expression and a slight smile, "I heard that Liu Rong is the name of the former Highness the Crown Prince."
My movements froze.
Facts that had been deliberately forgotten came back to mind again.
That's right, I have occupied the magpie's nest and replaced him as the crown prince.
"I also heard that His Highness committed suicide in the Lieutenant's Mansion a few years ago, and his mother, Empress Li Ji, also died of depression."
Moreover, what happened to his mother and his departure were also because of me.
My heart was cold, I let go of his hand, and the cloak on my shoulder fell to the ground silently.
"The next scholar has nothing to do with the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone dare to climb up to the royal family. I still look to His Highness the Crown Prince, so don't mistake him." He turned around and looked at the snow scene outside the window.
The thick and thin wide sleeves are like a lake rippling.The curling smoke from the bronze beast separates us.
What's more, the identity of the prince, as well as Li Ji's death, lie in front of us.
Although the two have the same blood, although the two are close at hand, the distance is farther than the horizon.
I walked out the door in a daze.
"Your Highness, where are your clothes?" Han said a little surprised.
I woke up a bit, and then realized that it was really cold.
Han said that he ordered the maids to fetch new cloaks and charcoal cages.
I put on my coat again, pointed out a few court ladies and eunuchs who had more contact with Liu Rong in the past, and asked Han Shuo to deal with them.He also ordered Sang Hongyang to change Liu Rong to a secluded residence and arrange it well.Keep out of reach.
Reminded by Han Shuo, I remembered that the chess game between me and the Taifu was not over yet.I hurried over and saw that the Grand Tutor was still sitting in the pavilion comfortably.
"Teacher, I'm late." I entered the curtain.
Taifu glanced at my new cloak, nodded, "It's your turn."
I picked up a piece of sapphire, and the whole game of chess became a mess in my eyes.Obviously the chance of victory is right in front of me, but I can't find the point of breakthrough.
is it here?I hesitated to drop the chess piece.
Instead, he found that the situation was messed up by this child.
The Taifu put the chess pieces back into the box: "Prince, let's end this game of chess."
I stood up guiltily and saluted the Taifu.
After the surprise and disappointment of the reunion passed, questions that were deliberately ignored came to mind.What happened the day Liu Rong committed suicide? Does Emperor Jing know that he is still alive?Why did Liu Rong stay with Liu Ling, and why did he return to Weiyang Palace at the risk of being known by Emperor Jing?
Since he survived the Lieutenant's Mansion by chance, wouldn't it be better to live in seclusion and be at ease?
I couldn't ask him these questions directly.
I sent someone to investigate the identity of Li Rong, and found that there was indeed such a person.Li Rong is the youngest son of a noble family in Huainan. He began to learn vertical and horizontal skills at the age of 16. After five years, he became a teacher and went to Huainan Palace as a diner. Then he came to Chang'an in October this year.
Liu Ling arranged things seamlessly.Is she trying to please me with this, or is there another conspiracy?
And what about Liu Rong?He hates me.Well, maybe, maybe, he just wants to see me.After all he is my brother.Although he just looked at me coldly and forbade me to call him brother.Although when getting along with him, except for my advice, he is unwilling to talk about any personal matters.
From winter to spring, from spring to summer, when I looked back again, I found that this was me, Emperor Jing, Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Che, Liu Rong, Tai Tuo, and Liu Shun, and it was the last time we spent intimately together.Although it is neither sweet nor warm, it is still worth looking back.
However, for me at the time, this season of youth was a cold lake blue.
Liu Rong is like a phantom at the other end of the lake.No matter how hard I try to get close to the other side, what I touch is always a faint mist.Empty and unreal, but lingering at the fingertips.I can't get it, and I can't let it go.
As for Liu Che, I pushed him away with my own hands.The two lived their lives as if nothing had happened, he indulged in singing and dancing, and I was obsessed with academic studies.
Occasionally meet each other on the way, and there is only the other person in the eyes, but they can only pass by silently. At that moment, even breathing hurts.
Only with Han Shuo, watching Gou Lihu and Li Danghu lead a group of teenagers galloping on horses, sweating in Shanglin Garden and the school grounds, was the only thing that made me happy at that time.
The preparations for leaving the palace had already started at the end of last year, and by May of this year, it was almost done.We will be leaving in July, and at the end of June, Empress Dowager Dou held a birthday banquet for me and Liu Che in advance at the Changqiu Hall.
The atmosphere at the banquet was quite jubilant.Because it was to celebrate Liu Che's and I's birthday, so the two sat together.
For a year, I focused on protecting Liu Rong, training my personal guards, and getting close to Emperor Jing. , hoping that time can calm the inexplicable throbbing in the hearts of the two of them.The chance to meet Liu Che is less than before.
At the banquet today, I was determined to restore harmony to the relationship, but instead I was so unfamiliar that I didn't know what to do.
Liu Shun squeezed between the two of them, leaning on me and acting like a baby, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Shun has grown into the appearance of a little boy, with a peach-shaped face, beautiful eyebrows, and often smiles cutely.He clung to me and drank more than a dozen glasses of wine, his pale cheeks flushed.
I saw that Liu Che was smiling, and the maid was pouring a glass, and he just drank a glass, as if drinking water in a relaxed manner, and I couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Naturally, Tian Fu and a group of imperial relatives will not let me idle, after one round, I'm afraid I drank more than [-] cups.But this kind of wine can't pour me down, until the end of the banquet, I'm still very sober.
The moonlight is just right outside, and the sky is full of stars.
It happened that Han said that I was on duty, and I was a little tired. I didn't want to go back to the uterus to face Liu Rong, so I asked Han said to drive me to the Dajiaochang to relax.
In the dusty school grounds during the day, at night, there are only a few guards here and there.I went up to the parade tower and told the guards to leave, Han said to guard the entrance.
The night sky is vast, and thousands of miles of stars are falling.
I stood for a long time.
Under the city tower, in the silent school grounds, it seems that there are still afterimages of when the Huben Battalion dispatched troops, the flags were flying, the soldiers were like forests, and the red military robes merged into a torrent.The depression in my heart finally let go.
I knocked on the walls of the city wall and chanted: "How can I say that I have no clothes, and I share the same robe with my son. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear, and have the same hatred as my son!"
Footsteps came from behind.
I thought it was Han who said it, and turned my back to him and said, "In the past two years, the Huns have invaded our Dahan territory many times, looting and killing tens of thousands of people. Even if the father sent people to make peace, they would not hold back at all. It's really unscrupulous. Treat me as a warehouse for whatever you want."
"Father has endured it for so many years. One day, I will lead the soldiers of the big man to kill him, dye Yanzhi Mountain red with the blood of the Huns, and turn the grassland into a pasture for the big man."
After all, I drank a lot at the banquet, and my voice was a little passionate.
"On the day when I don't have to hold back anymore, Han said, don't let me down." I turned around and patted his shoulder heavily, only to find that the man standing in front of me silently , not Han Shuo, but Liu Che.
"I'm afraid you don't remember a single word of the promise you made when you were a child." Liu Che said angrily.
I was a little puzzled: "Archer... why are you here?"
Liu Che in front of him was still wearing the heavy and luxurious clothes from the banquet.Under the moonlight, his handsome face was even fairer, but it couldn't hide the shadow in his eyes.
"You're leaving the palace in a few days, but we haven't even had time to say a word. How far do you have to distance yourself from me before you stop?" His eyes were sharp and cold, as if he wanted to see through me.
The two hadn't been alone for a long time, but when they met, what they heard was accusations.
"I never alienated you, it's just that I don't have time to meet you." I sighed in my heart.
Liu Che sneered, and said aggressively: "No time? That's right, you have Taifu, Han Shuo, and Gou Lihu, Zhang Ou, and Sang Hongyang by your side. You really don't have time."
For some reason, his behavior tonight was very abnormal, completely different from his usual appearance.
I smiled wryly and said: "How can they compare with you. You are my brother who grew up with me since childhood, and they are just courtiers and subordinates."
Liu Che approached me and said, "Not only them, you also raised a confinement man in the palace, you didn't let anyone get close, you were with him every day, didn't you?"
Forbidden?Did he mean Liu Rong?For those who don't know, it is really what he said.
But what Liu Che questioned me has already crossed the boundaries of brothers.
I took half a step back, smiled and said: "So what. Mr. Li is so beautiful and can be liked. I am fascinated by him. I haven't gotten tired of it for half a year. It's not worse than your Han Yan. Okay." It's getting late, let's go back to the palace."
When I turned around, my arm was pulled back by Liu Che so hard that his five fingers almost dug into my bones.I frowned in pain.
Liu Che had held back his dissatisfaction for many days and finally broke out: "No, I don't allow it! You can look at others and hug others, but I don't allow you to have others in your heart! You are my younger brother, and you are my brother who has not been separated from me since I was born. Bro, you belong to me, you belong to me, and you can only have me in your heart. How can you belong to others."
If I hadn't let the guards leave long ago, I'm afraid that tomorrow the entire Weiyang Palace would know about my infidelity with Liu Che.
If it wasn't for the strong smell of alcohol on Liu Che's body, I wish I could slap him awake.I held back my anger and said, "Liu Che, you're drunk."
"Yes, I'm drunk."
Liu Che freely admitted that I didn't know what to say for a while.
He was looking at me, and I was looking at him.
"Let go." I didn't want to soften my heart at the last moment.
Liu Che stubbornly refused to let go, I opened his fingers one by one, the force he used was so strong that his joints suddenly turned white.
Accompanied by the loosening of his fingers, his eyes dimmed bit by bit, and finally only stubborn and rich black remained.
"Archer..." I wanted to comfort him, but he suddenly took a step forward and gently pressed his lips together.
My heart skipped a beat.
In an instant, the gentle summer wind stopped in my ears, and everything around me was silent, as if only me and him existed in the world.
The soft touch on my lips and Liu Che's moist and slow breathing made my mind go blank.
The sweetness in the bitterness extends from the touching lips along the chest to the bottom of the heart, causing a numb itching and a slight pain.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes quivering slightly.
I thought of Emperor Jing, and said worriedly: "Brother Liu Rong, although I don't know how you escaped from the Lieutenant's Mansion, but my father is still here, how can you return to Beijing? Not only did you return to Beijing, but you actually entered Weiyang. Hurry up!" , we will leave the palace immediately, find a place for you to hide, and wait..."
