Pet official

Mo Zheng respected and feared Song Bin, he didn't want to betray his master, and he didn't want the innocent child in front of him to be hurt, he was troubled for a long time, and finally said some ambiguous words.

Ruan Yunqing heard Mo Zheng's ambiguity, and couldn't help asking: "So what?"

Mo Zheng scratched his hair irritably, he dragged Ruan Yunqing with one hand, and stopped on a tree.

Stepping on a thick branch, Mo Zheng rubbed a hand on the luxuriant branches and leaves, randomly pulling the leaves in his hands, and told Ruan Yunqing about the prince's childhood.

"I have been the prince's bodyguard since he was five years old, and I can't leave him every day. I remember that at that time, the tenth prince was just born, and the queen was busy taking care of the tenth prince, and she was a little cold to the prince. I remember that it was the deep winter of that year, The prince's temperament has changed drastically, the child who used to love to talk and laugh suddenly became sullen and suspicious."

Mo Zheng threw away the bare leaf stalks in his hand, grabbed a handful of new ones, and continued: "In that year, the old and the new alternated, and when it was approaching New Year's Eve, the prince asked someone to catch a leaf from the wild. The wolf cub is back. The prince is a lonely child, so he is very happy to have a playmate. He hugs the little wolf cub every day, whether it is eating or sleeping, he always takes it with him. Things like wolves He is not familiar with it, but I don’t know what method the prince used, but he just raised the little wolf cub obediently and protected him like a dog. The prince raised the wolf cub for two years. During these two years, the two of them It’s so good, eating in one bowl and sleeping in one bed, everyone can tell that the crown prince really likes it.”

Ruan Yunqing didn't know what Mo Zheng's intentions were, so she listened seriously after hearing what he said solemnly.

"Just two years later, in the winter, the wolf cub had grown into a wolf. It was over ten feet long, with dark fur, and a pair of eyes that were so fierce that no one dared to get close to it. Whenever it got close to it, it would show its fangs and be vicious. Everyone in the palace is afraid of it, only the prince can put his arms around its neck affectionately and call him "A Liang."

Mo Zheng squatted down, leaning his back against the tree trunk, with a bitter and sad expression on his resolute face, "Everyone thinks that this wolf will definitely be with the prince forever. But no one expected that in that winter , One night when there was heavy snow, the crown prince had someone put Ah Liang in a cage and send him back to the wilderness."

Mo Zheng suddenly slowed down his tone, "They have always been close. Just the day before, Ah Liang was still leaning in the arms of the prince, eating the shredded meat he tore for him. No one knew why. The expression gave the order. A Liang whined, and it knew that it was going to be separated from the prince. Usually it was so fierce that no one could catch it. That day, the prince only said: "Go in," and A Liang obediently entered. I got out of the cage. I heard from the brother who sent Ah Liang away that Ah Liang refused to leave the cage when he arrived in the wild. He opened the cage door for him, but he was still lying in the cage, staring into the distance, howling and howling. It was so miserable that even those murderous brothers couldn't bear to hear it, but the crown prince..."

Recalling the situation at that time, Mo Zheng couldn't help but fight a cold war.He will never forget the look on the prince's face when he sent A Liang away, as if all the love and indulgence in the past were fake. Hearing Ah Liang's whimpering howl, his eyes were empty without any emotion.

That doesn't look like the look a living person should have, not to mention that the prince was only eight years old back then.

Mo Zheng didn't know why the crown prince treated Ah Liang like this. This incident was a thorn in his heart. He said it out because he didn't want Ruan Yunqing to become the next "A Liang".

Ruan Yunqing listened silently. From Mo Zheng's mournful expression and trembling words, he seemed to be able to truly feel the sadness of that year. A wolf was raised to be a loyal dog. From the moment the wolf committed his allegiance, his master ruthlessly abandoned it.

"What happened to Ah Liang in the end?"

After listening to Ruan Yunqing's question, Mo Zheng only showed a difficult smile, "Dead. After seven days, I couldn't help but go and have a look. A Liang was lying in the cage, covered with thick snow. It had been snowing for several days, and it was so cold that his exhaled breath was covered with ice stubble, Ah Liang couldn't eat, so he froze to death. I think, until he died, he was still waiting for the prince to pick him up."

Ruan Yunqing didn't speak, and Mo Zheng may have been silent for a long time, the night wind blew through the treetops, and the leaves rattled, Mo Zheng stood up, forced a smile and said: "Look at me, I'm really old, old sesame seeds are rotten, let me It's useless for you to listen for a long time."

Pulling Ruan Yunqing up, Mo Zheng said, "Let's go. It's getting late."

Ruan Yunqing nodded slightly, "Yes."

Back in the handyman's room, Ruan Yunqing suddenly thanked Mo Zheng, "Thank you, Guard Mo. I understand what you mean, and I will always remember my identity."

Mo Zheng smiled, talking to a smart person is easy, he already has a lot of things tonight, he can't say anything more, that's all, I just hope that Ruan Yunqing can be more or less prepared in his heart, don't be like Ah Liang back then Yes, he plunged into it with a solid eye, but only got a ruthless return.

Mo Zheng rubbed Ruan Yunqing's head, "Go and rest." After saying that, he said goodbye to Ruan Yunqing, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

That night, Ruan Yunqing kept having nightmares. For a while, he dreamed of his parents, begging them not to send him into the palace, and for a while, he dreamed that he had turned into A Liang, lying on the ground in the wind and snow, hoping that the prince would come back. Come pick him up.

The scene in the dream was so real, Ruan Yunqing seemed to be in the middle of the ice and snow, the cold wind blew through his body like a knife, he felt that his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, but the appearance of the prince in his mind became more and more vivid .

When she woke up, her body was covered in cold sweat. Ruan Yunqing sat up, hugged the quilt tightly, and lost her mind for a while.

Zhou Jun rubbed his eyes and looked at him, asking what happened to Ruan Yunqing.

Ruan Yunqing smiled feebly, said it was all right, got out of bed to pick up the water ladle, poured cold water, and then felt a little more awake.

In the early morning of the second day, Ruan Baosheng sent longan to pass the message, explaining that Zheng Changchun was on duty that day, and he had already made arrangements to take Ruan Yunqing to see Zheng Changchun tomorrow night.

Ruan Yunqing thanked Longan and asked him to tell Ruan Baosheng that he would definitely come over tomorrow night.

No one has disturbed the past few days, and the daytime has been extremely peaceful.It's nothing serious, Ruan Yunqing still works with Eunuch Cui, and when she is free, she takes out the books given by the prince and reads them fiercely.

Time passed quickly, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.Ruan Yunqing wasn't supposed to be on duty that night, he and Zhou Jun went back to the room early, wanted to rest earlier and wake up, it happened to be the time to go to Duanhua Palace to meet the prince.

Zhou Jun was happy these two days. No one troubled Ruan Yunqing, so he was also happy. The two chatted and laughed. Xiao Changfu asked Ruan Yunqing to wait on him.

Ruan Yunqing was startled, and after all the calculations, she still couldn't escape this hurdle.Zhou Jun's face was even more bitter, and he cursed in a low voice: "There's no end to him! It's too deceiving!"

Ruan Yunqing shook her head, motioning Zhou Jun not to say any more.He bowed his head and thought for a while, if he didn't go at this time, Xiao Changfu didn't know what he would do.He must not do anything to make Xiao Changfu suspicious now, so as not to startle the snake and make all the hard work of the past few days go to waste.

In addition, the Eagle Army sent back a lot of evidence, but there are so many things that can be used as circumstantial evidence, pointing to Xiao Changfu's murder of Zhao Shurong, but none of them can be found.Ruan Yunqing was anxious, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet would be held in ten days or so, if you miss this day, you won't have such a good opportunity again.

Xiao Changfu is not a kind person, the longer this matter drags on, the more accidents will happen.Time is running out, and it is time to take risks. He will go to see Xiao Changfu tonight, and maybe he can find some important evidence in the house or Xiao Changfu.

Having made up his mind, Ruan Yunqing calmed down, got up and straightened his clothes so that Zhou Jun would not have to worry, he opened the door and followed the messenger to see Xiao Changfu.

It was still the valet that day, as soon as Ruan Yunqing arrived at the door of the valet, he felt his scalp tingling and his back numb. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but at this moment, he was really terrified.

Stepping into the room, Ruan Yunqing involuntarily glanced at the northwest corner. The wooden frame where Ri Pingxi was tortured was still standing there. He glanced at it, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked away, never daring to look there again. Take a look.

The situation of that day is still vivid in his memory, and at a glance, Ruan Yunqing can still see Pingxi tied to a wooden frame with bruises and blood all over his body, his head and neck tilted weakly, and the blood on his body is falling drop by drop. Make a muffled sound.

The room was already reeking of alcohol, and Xiao Changfu was so drunk that he slanted and half-lyed on the Arhat bed.One of his legs was drooping, and the other was straddling the railing. On the high table in front of the bed were some wine and vegetables, and there was a young eunuch standing beside the high table. The little Pei who came out of the house.

Xiao Pei was trembling and held in Xiao Changfu's arms.He held a celadon wine jug in both hands, lowered his head, stared at the wine glass in Xiao Changfu's hand, and filled the wine glass for him from time to time.

Xiao Changfu squinted his drunken eyes, and glanced at Ruan Yunqing, "What are you doing hiding so far? I can still eat you? Come here!"

Ruan Yunqing stepped forward bravely, deliberately pretending to be scared, lowering his head and lowering his eyelids, suppressing all the disgust in his eyes.

Xiao Changfu was very satisfied with Ruan Yunqing's obedient appearance, he gave a strange smile, grabbed Ruan Yunqing's skirt, and pulled him over, together with the little eunuch, he hugged one left and one right respectively, kneaded twice , I became more and more proud in my heart, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
