Power over the world [rebirth]

Chapter 7. Folk rumors

After chatting for a while, Shen Ci left Murong Heng's house. On the way back to the house, what Murong Heng said to him kept flashing through his mind, and he couldn't calm down.

And Feng Nan on the side, because he also retreated when Shen Ci talked with Murong Heng just now, so he couldn't hear what the two said, and could only infer from the expression of his son, what Murong Heng must have said What serious words made the expressions of the people beside him so solemn that they were even slightly distracted and didn't even hear him talking.

"Young Master!" Feng Nan couldn't help raising his voice when he called several times but no one around him responded.

"Ah? What did you say?" Shen Ci came back to his senses, stopped abruptly, and turned his empty eyes to Feng Nan beside him. He was immersed in his own world just now, and he really didn't hear what Feng Nan said.

Seeing that he didn't hear it, Feng Nan gave up the idea of ​​saying it again. When they were silent, the two arrived at the door of Shen's residence, and carefully helped his son into the house. He helped him take off his outer clothes, and lay on the bed. lie down.

"You go out first." He tucked the corner of the quilt by himself, Shen Ci nestled in the warm quilt, and closed his eyes comfortably. After Feng Nan left, he opened his eyes, his mind was clear, but his expression was slightly dazed .

Was he too impatient in making this decision?Perhaps he should calm down and think about it before deciding whether to do that, but there was another voice in his heart that drove him to do so, and he couldn't refuse.

With these complicated thoughts in mind, Shen Ci gradually fell into a dream. Suddenly, a huge mansion appeared in his dream. He stepped inside, and before he saw anyone, laughter came from his ears.

"Mother, I'm back." Shen Ci said loudly, strode into the courtyard, and saw his mother and father sitting in the courtyard, the two were smiling, as if they were talking about something, when they saw him come back, they waved let him pass.

"A Ci, mother made your favorite pastry, come and eat it." Qin Yun beckoned Shen Ci to come over, took him to the kitchen, twisted a piece of pastry with his fingers, and brought it to the lips of the person in front of him, Smiled and watched him eat it.

"It's delicious!" Shen Ci was full of praise. He has always liked the pastries made by his mother. They are sweet but not greasy, and they are no worse than those made by palace chefs.

"Eat more if it tastes good." There was a loud laugh behind him, Shen Ci turned around and looked, Mo Moheng stepped in from the outside, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, his eyes were full of smiles, he looked at each other The happiness in my heart cannot be expressed in words.

The picture suddenly changed, and a execution ground appeared in front of him. He remembered that the last time he went home, his father took a handful of ashes and smeared his face, and said to him earnestly: "Ah Ci, live well, don't be blinded by hatred for the rest of your life. "He was fashionable and young and didn't know what was going on, he just nodded foolishly, agreed to his father's request, and was taken away by Feng Nan, who would have heard that his father had been convicted of a felony by the current emperor, and all his families were beheaded.

He hurried to the execution ground, because his face was smeared, no one could tell who he was, Shen Ci squeezed into the crowd, saw his parents being escorted up, and drew the sign behind him, the prison officer The token was thrown down, and the executioner raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed at the parents' necks.

"No!" The painful groan that came out was tightly covered by Feng Nan behind him. He stared and watched as the big knife cut off the necks of his parents, and the blood flowed all over the ground. He had never seen so many people. Blood, never knew that so much blood would flow out of parents' bodies, as if it would flow forever, forming a small river on the rough ground.

Fearing that the two of them would be discovered, Fengnan took him away immediately. When he arrived in the woods in the suburbs, he sat down on the ground, looking at Fengnan in front of him in disbelief. He wanted to cry but there was no sound. Falling from the eye sockets.

In Fengnan's explanation, he finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. His father, Shen Moheng, was a famous prime minister and a loyal minister, but it was because of his outspoken advice that Emperor Chongde Resentment, aroused murderous intentions.

Therefore, Emperor Chongde accused Shen Moheng of plotting rebellion and executed him all over the house. His father must have known about this at the time, so he couldn't wait to let Fengnan take him away and say such words to him.

Little Shen Ci left a lifetime of shadows in his heart. In those few days and nights, almost as soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of the tragic death of his parents, which made him feel so painful.

A few days later, with the help of his father's former acquaintances, he obtained the ashes of his father and mother, and placed them in the hall of Shen's residence. Unexpectedly, when he came back from a trip that day, he saw a raging fire in Shen's residence. , He squinted his eyes, and rushed in without thinking about 21 for a moment.

"Young master!" Feng Nan was behind him, desperately chasing him.

Shen Ci rushed in recklessly, he had already witnessed the tragic death of his parents, and he could not let their souls have no resting place, so he rushed into the fire, even if the fire burned himself, he was indifferent.

But just when he was about to reach the two boxes of ashes, the wood on the roof broke after burning for a long time and fell down, hitting him directly on the top of his head. Shen Ci froze in place, forgetting to move.

At this moment, Feng Nan rushed over recklessly behind him, grabbed his waist and took him away from the fire. The burnt wood just fell on the urn, and it burned up in just a moment.

"No!" Shen Ci desperately tried to break free from Fengnan's arm, but he couldn't. He was dragged out of the fire scene. Just as the two left, the whole room collapsed and turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Shen Ci stared at the fire, this place full of laughter and laughter, he still remembered the taste of the cakes made by his mother and his father's earnest words, his eyes were filled with fire, and the heat burned his eyes for too long , making his eyes dry and painful, almost bleeding.

He watched stiffly the whole house turned into a scene of fire, and the ashes of his father and mother could no longer be taken out. He moved his lips, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, but they were red. Black, fainted.

When he woke up again, his eyes were empty and he couldn't see anything. After the doctor came to see him, he said that he was too much stimulated and burned by the heat for too long, so he lost his sight.

However, Shen Ci didn't feel sad, he sat on the bed in a daze, he couldn't hear anything, only his father's voice remained in his mind——

"A Ci, live well, don't be blinded by hatred for the rest of your life."

He looked at the figure that was gradually disappearing, and stretched out his hand to catch him, but he couldn't catch up with him. Shen Ci desperately stretched his hand forward, crying out: "Father!"

Waking up suddenly from the dream, Shen Ci found that his face was covered with tears and his body was drenched in cold sweat. He sat up with his limp body propped up, and the memory seemed as if it happened yesterday, so real.

Wiping away the tears on his face, Shen Ci leaned against the bed, no longer sleepy, in order to live to this day, he kept a low profile, used words more than his real name, even if he was well-known, he would not let others see him easily Zhenyan, fortunately, he was mostly away from home when he was a child, and he didn't often go back to the mansion, so not many people knew him as the son of Shen's mansion, and many disasters were avoided.After a cup of tea, the wind dried the wet clothes on his body, Shen Ci came back to his senses, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his head, his eyes were slightly moist.

Parents, the child is doing well, but where are you now?

******

Murong Heng on this side also didn't rest all the time, he asked people to let out the wind, saying that the crown prince has the intention of usurping the throne, and the people in the capital love to gossip after dinner, so this news quickly spread throughout the city, Even passed into the palace.

On this day, when everyone was going to court, Prince Murong Cheng stood up and talked with Emperor Chongde's questions. Going to the side of Emperor Chongde, whispered something to him.

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Chongde's complexion changed three times, and he even looked at His Highness the prince with some inquisitive eyes. He waved his hand to let the palace servants go down, and continued to listen to the prince's words, but his expression was not as appreciative as before.

His change was naturally recognized by His Highness Murong Heng. It seemed that his strategy had worked, at least it caused a ripple in Emperor Chongde's heart. There was no rush for revenge, and he had plenty of patience.

And not far away from him, the fifth prince Murong Chong lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He naturally saw the change of Emperor Chongde just now, so he was very curious, what exactly did the palace man say? What.

After he came down to court, he hurried back to the palace and ordered people to investigate. Finally, he learned that there were rumors among the people that Prince Dao had the intention of usurping the throne. He gradually clenched his fists and sneered.

The throne belongs to him, no one can grab it!

Let's say that after Murong Heng came down to court, he went back to the palace, and went to Shen's mansion to have a look around, and just walked into the courtyard, he saw Shen Ci sleeping alone on the couch, with a peaceful face, and fell asleep.

Stopping the guards who wanted to speak out, Murong Heng pushed back the crowd and asked them to guard around, then walked lightly to Shen Ci's side, seeing that the blanket on his body had slipped a little, he stretched out his hand to pull the blanket up and cover it up.

As soon as the movement came out, Shen Ci was awakened. He was in a light sleep, but he felt someone approaching him. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up straight. For some reason, he was already familiar with Murong Heng's smell, even if the other person He knew it was him without making a sound, so he got up and saluted, and said gently: "Is it the prince? Please sit down."

Murong Heng responded in a low voice, sat down at the side, and was silent for a moment. He recounted what happened earlier, and carefully observed the reaction of the person in front of him while talking.

After he finished speaking, Shen Ci nodded, pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "The prince's move is very good. It is not that easy to shake the mind of an emperor, so the rumors cannot be stopped, but rumors alone are not enough. The next move is needed." The next move is crucial, so neither of them dare to slack off.

The two talked for a while, Murong Heng expressed his views from time to time, and echoed Shen Ci's opinions, the two chatted very happily, and Murong Heng even had a feeling of hating seeing each other later, if he had met in the last life Maybe this person didn't have such a miserable ending?

While the two were talking, Feng Nan's happy voice came from outside the door, and he walked in hurriedly, holding an exquisite box in his hand, "My lord, look what I brought you?"

Shen Ci's nose is very good, he sniffed it, and said pleasantly, "Pineapple Cake?" This is his favorite pastry, besides his mother, Yipinlou makes delicious ones, but because they are too expensive, they don't even buy it. Buy less.

"Yes, young master, eat quickly." After bowing to Murong Heng at the side, Feng Nan put the box on the stone table with a smile, took out a piece and handed it to his young master's lips, watching him eat with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Ci took the pastry and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste made him close his eyes with a smile. Murong Heng who was at the side was slightly dazed by this smile. Seeing the residue left on Shen Ci's mouth, he stretched out Go out and wipe off the residue.

The warm fingertips brushed against his lips, Shen Ci froze, and stopped eating the cake, "My lord?"
