"Cough cough..." Accompanied by the sound of coughing, Emperor Chongde sat up from the couch, first drank a few sips of water under the service of the palace servants, and then patted his chest.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the imperial doctor come in and show you?" Wen Lin, who was waiting beside the bed, asked in a low voice. He took the glass of water from the person on the bed, poured another hot one and handed it back.

Emperor Chongde shook his head, sighed after complacently, "Oh, I'm old after all, and my body is useless." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky outside the window, as if he saw the sky when he was young through there. His own self, the gold and iron horse, seized the throne in one fell swoop.

"The emperor was joking. You are in your prime, and your bones are very good. You will recover from the cold in a short time." Wen Lin smiled flatteringly.

"You are the only one who can talk." Emperor Chongde glanced up at him with a faint smile in his eyes. He leaned sideways on the edge of the bed and didn't make any sound for a while. Then he thought of something and said in a low voice: "Wen Lin, if one day I want to give up this throne, who do you think is the most suitable?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wen Lin immediately knelt down in panic, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense!"

"Finally, I forgive you for your innocence." Emperor Chongde gave him a funny look, found a comfortable position for himself, and leaned against him.

"This..." Wen Lin twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but still didn't dare to speak.

"Okay, okay, it's as if I'm going to chop off your head." After waiting for a long time without a reply, Emperor Chongde also lost his patience. He shook his head, and after a long silence, he said softly: "I think so. , only the crown prince can entrust important responsibilities." The rest of the princes are not as good as the crown prince.

Wen Lin didn't reply after hearing the words. As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. Even if he is a popular person around the emperor, he would not dare to speak casually. You know, the emperor killed his brothers and fathers back then to get his current status. Although it is far from what it was then, it is still possible to kill him with a single sentence, so it is better for him to keep his mouth shut.

Just when the two were silent, the voice of the palace people came from outside the door, Emperor Chongde saw Murong Heng push the door and walked in, his brows were frowned suddenly, a furrow formed.

"I heard that my father's cough has not healed, so I came to visit." Murong Heng smiled falsely. He half knelt down, took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his arms, and continued: "This is my father. The good medicine that people can find from other places has a good curative effect on Father's cough."

Emperor Chongde looked at him and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he raised his hand and snorted coldly: "Come on, as long as you stay at the mansion obediently, I will be satisfied." Saying this is already an order to evict guests. the meaning of.

Murong Heng naturally heard it, he hooked the corners of his lips in the dark, pretended not to hear his words, insisted on leaving the medicine bottle behind, and then got up and left. When he got outside the door, he heard Emperor Chongde cough heavily, Then came his hoarse and indifferent voice.

"Hmph, halfway to show courtesy, rape or steal, Wenlin, take it and throw it away." Emperor Chongde didn't even look at the bottle, "The thing I regret most in my life is that I gave birth to this son, so useless , It really is the same as his mother."

Then there was Wen Lin's respectful voice, and Murong Heng didn't listen any more. If he was in his previous life, he would rush in to argue with Emperor Chongde after hearing this, but in this life, he would only let himself be treated indifferently. , One day, he will impress him, and regret treating him like this now!

After walking a long way, Murong Heng ignored the strange eyes of some concubines and continued to walk forward when he arrived in the imperial garden. Suddenly, a figure appeared not far away, making him stop in his tracks.

"Brother Emperor, it's you." Seeing that it was Prince Murong Cheng, Murong Heng quickly put on a groveling look, with a fake smile on his face, looking very flattering.

Murong Cheng glanced at him coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He just liked to see this person in such a useless state. Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "I don't know what's the matter with the third emperor's younger brother entering the palace? Didn't the emperor say that?" I don't want to see you, but you still enter the palace to block his eyes, it's really unfilial!"

In just a few words, he was dubbed unfilial. Murong Heng didn't answer, but when Murong Cheng was still talking about hurting him, he quietly took out the stone he picked up just now from his cuff, and shot it with his fingers. To Murong Cheng's knee.

"Ah!" Murong Cheng felt a pain in his knee, and subconsciously knelt down on the ground.

"Brother Dahuang! Why are you kneeling?" Murong Heng pretended to be shocked and took a step back when he saw this, "This is absolutely impossible! Brother Dahuang, please get up!" He said so, but did not move. to help him.

Murong Cheng was lifted up by the palace servants beside him, his face was gloomy with anger, he stared at the person in front of him, with a thousand anger in his chest, he kicked over the flowerpot by the side forcefully, and left with his hands.

After he left, Murong Heng straightened up, with a smile on his lips, whoever made Murong Cheng's mouth so dirty, this is his punishment!

Murong Heng chuckled lightly, feeling really good.

When he arrived outside the palace, he was walking on the road. Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly saw people running out in front of him, followed by a panicked cry, "It's gone! It's gone!"

There was a burning smell in his nose, Murong Heng subconsciously looked in the direction of the people, and sure enough, he saw black smoke coming out of a house, accompanied by fire, which was particularly obvious in daylight.

After squinting his eyes and looking at it for a while, he suddenly felt that the house looked familiar, and his heart suddenly thumped. He realized, isn't that the house of Shen Ci?

Murong Heng hurriedly ran away, and even followed him with a few guards behind him. When he reached the gate of the mansion, he realized that the fire inside was already very large, and many people came to help with their own buckets. firefighting.

Thinking that the person might still be inside, Murong Heng hurriedly asked the guards to check it out, while he waited outside. After waiting for a long time, the guards did not come out. Suddenly a white shadow flashed by the window, Murong Heng's eyes froze, and he looked up Then he ran in.

When he got inside the house, the fire was already very big, Murong Heng covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, his eyes kept looking for that person, when he got to the window, he saw a figure lying on the ground, and when he went over, it was indeed him.

Before he had time to think about it, Murong Heng picked up Shen Ci who had passed out, and rushed out of the door. Several guards also came out just in time, and he went to the palace with people in his arms.

When he arrived at the mansion, he asked the guards to invite the doctor, and he carefully placed the man in his arms on the bed. Shen Ci's face was gray and black from the smoke, and his white clothes were also dirty, looking embarrassed Unbearable, he rolled up his sleeves and found several fire-burned wounds on his arms.

The blood had dried up and stuck to the clothes. Murong Heng ordered the maid, Lian Jin, to bring a basin of hot water, carefully soaked the clothes with hot water, and separated the wound from the clothes. The wound was torn open, and the blood flowed out again , the person on the bed trembled unconsciously, and fell into a coma again.

After waiting for a long time, the doctor rushed to the mansion, he carefully diagnosed Shen Ci's body, and carefully applied medicine to the wound, then stepped aside and said in a low voice: "Go back to the prince, the injury on this young man is not a problem , I will recover after a few days of cultivation, but I have inhaled too much smoke, which may have affected my throat, and I will cough unbearably when I wake up, so I will go to make medicine for you." The doctor wanted to leave after finishing speaking. Seeing the young man's appearance on the bed, he thought of the rumor that Prince Heng is not aggressive. Could it be that he has become more masculine recently?

"Wait." Murong Heng suddenly remembered something, "There seems to be something wrong with his eyes, he can't see. I wonder if the doctor can take a look for him?"

Hearing this, the doctor walked back to the bed, leaned down to check the eyes of the person on the bed, examined carefully for a while, then shook his head, and sighed softly: "Forgive me for being helpless, this son's eye disease is not from childhood, from the situation , should be blinded by accident."

"Because of an accident?" Murong Heng didn't understand what he meant. After the doctor left, he sat down by the bed. At this time, Shen Ci's face had been wiped clean. He reached out and touched the forehead of the person on the bed, perhaps because of a wound. The reason is that the temperature on the forehead is slightly higher.

Seeing this, Lian Jin, who was standing by the side, brought another basin of cold water, soaked a dry cloth towel, wrung it dry and applied it on the forehead of the person on the bed, looking at the slightly worried eyes of her prince, Lian Jin couldn't bear it anymore. Asked: "My lord, this young master...you seem to be very concerned about him." Since the lord woke up a few days ago, she felt that the lord seemed to be a little different, but she couldn't say exactly what was different. .

When Murong Heng heard the words, he didn't answer immediately, he thought of the blurred side face and gentle words in his previous life, so he replied softly: "He is the king's benefactor."

"Benefactor?" Lian Jin looked at the person on the bed inexplicably, and had to admit that the face of the man on the bed was really pretty, even with his eyes closed, he couldn't hide the warm and jade-like light on his body.

Withdrew silently, Lian Jin closed the door and stood guard outside.

Murong Heng sat alone in the room, and after the cloth towel was absorbed by the temperature on his forehead, he replaced it with another. He accidentally saw the bruise on Shen Ci's forehead, which was particularly glaring on his fair skin. He stretched out his hand, stroked the bruise, and found ointment from the house, and after the palm of his hand melted away, he wiped it on Shen Ci's forehead.

Putting down the ointment, Murong Heng now regrets that he deliberately put a chair in front of Shen Ci to test whether Shen Ci was really blind, causing him to fall. If he had recognized him as his benefactor in the previous life from the beginning, he would never have been like this Fortunately, it is not too late to recognize now.

Let's say that Shen Ci was in a coma, he dreamed of the scene when he was still in the house, because Feng Nan went out to buy things for him, he stayed in the house alone, suddenly he smelled a strong smell of smoke, Immediately he realized that he had walked out of the water, and he thought something was wrong. He wanted to run out, but he kept tripping over the tables and chairs.

For the first time, he hated himself so much for being blind that he didn't even have the ability to save himself at a critical moment...

The raging fire was burning around him, he staggered and wanted to go out, his body was burned by the fire from time to time, the pain became more and more obvious in the darkness, he coughed heavily, gradually lost consciousness of his own existence, and suddenly lost consciousness, The whole person fell to the ground.

"Ahem..." Accompanied by the sound of coughing, he suddenly woke up from his dream, and before he woke up, he heard a familiar voice beside him, full of surprise.

"you're awake?"
