THE A

"Your eyes are the torches of knowledge...

"Your complexion is molten gold...

"Your heart is a tall wishing tree...

"You grant every wish, you have mercy on fallen souls, you rescue me from the darkest ignorance...

"When will you allow me to take shelter under your lotus feet? My respected teacher...my...precious person..."

……

Dasha heard an ethereal singing.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he was attracted by this magical sound of nature.

It was a woman's singing, like a soft cloud floating in the air, extending far away.He seemed to have never heard such a singing voice surrounded by misty clouds, as if telling a strange, oracular legend, Dasha slowly got up.

Is it Feitian?

The woman who had been working as a maid in his palace recently opened the curtains, and suddenly saw her back standing in the courtyard.

If so... Fei Tian is usually timid, but she is a hardworking and kind girl.Maybe they're both of the same temperament and get along very quickly and get close

After tidying up his nightgown, Dasha walked into the yard and whispered, "Fei Tian, ​​what are you singing about?"

"His Royal Highness Fulou." The singing stopped abruptly and dissipated in the air. Feitian turned his head, nodded and smiled, "Feitian grew up in a temple. This is the song my sister taught me to sing."

When she saw Dasha, she unconsciously lowered her head and smiled shyly.

"Really, it sounds nice..."

"This song represents people's belief in truth and hope for beauty." Feitian clasped his hands, turned to pray to the sky, "If I pray sincerely, the goddess will definitely hear my wish, Your Highness Fulou, you can also Give it a try, the morning sun is the best medium to convey your inner voice..."

Dasha imitated her way of closing her eyes, interlocking her fingers, repeating the wish in her heart...

They stood together in the sloping courtyard, doing a prayer ceremony that only they knew.

The warm light shone on his face, as Fei Tian said, the morning must be the most gentle time for the gods.

Hope to return to Garol soon and live a quiet and ordinary life.

Wait... Is this his wish?Dasha hesitated suddenly.

With an uneasy expression on his face, Dasha untied his praying hands, "Fei Tian, ​​please sing to me next time..."

Hope to stay here for a while...

No matter how much you don't want to admit it, but——

This is, this is his wish...

……

……

A dark and damp chamber.

There are various colored glass bottles on the table, as if they are developing various secret medicines.Fei Tian with disheveled hair knelt down in front of the man, tightly holding the hem of the man's trailing clothes.

"Do you really want to do this? My lord..."

The man just watched her begging for mercy with cold eyes, and then kicked her hands away indifferently.

Fei Tian flinched timidly towards the wall, suppressing his crying, "Why, do you want to do this?"

The tall "adult" raised his head and smiled triumphantly - he opened his arms towards the totem on the wall, "Only the blood of the Son of God can save your sister, you forgot, who raised you up?" big?"

Fei Tian didn't say a word, and shook his head with his hands in his hands, "My sister raised Fei Tian up, but... my lord, Fei Tian, ​​I don't want to do this... Even if it's for my sister, Fei Tian is not willing to hurt anyone..."

"...Then you are willing to watch your sister die?"

He touched the most important family affection deep in Feitian's heart, but said cold and cruel words.

The man starts off.In the darkness, only Feitian's crying was left.

……

Dasha came to visit Haruo's bedroom again. They have been visiting frequently recently, having lunch and dinner together every day, reading books and taking walks together.

Hara didn't do anything out of bounds, just held his hand often.

He found that he was becoming more and more reluctant to part with this paradise-like palace.

However, he made a wish to return to his hometown as soon as possible. In any case, it would be nice if he could leave some more memories before he left.

Dasha had a faint smile on his face as always.

"Hara, that maid named Feitian, she is very smart and hardworking, you really wronged her last time, she must have been careless. She wants to apologize to you later..."

Today, Fei Tian requested to come to His Royal Highness Hara to apologize seriously, and Dasha brought her along. Last time she destroyed His Royal Highness Hara's book, she was lucky that she was not punished. This time, she must come to plead guilty in person. .But she waited in the apse for a while before coming out. On the table was her steamed tea, and Dasha had already drank a cup.

Haruo turned the pages of the book, "Really, since you don't blame her, then I won't pursue it either."

Dasha sat quietly watching him read, and involuntarily raised his cheeks and supported his heavy head.

"I'm a little dizzy today, I don't know why..."

The feeling of being drowsy since just now seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Haruo frowned and raised his eyes, and came close to him, "Fulou?"

It's not even lunch time, so I shouldn't be sleepy, maybe I'm sick?

He caressed Dasha's forehead lightly, he didn't feel hot, but his whole body fell into his arms as if he lost his center of gravity.

……

Hara's room.

His sweetheart who fainted inexplicably was lying on his spacious and soft bed.

Naga and Lianjia also heard the news and watched the situation from afar.Lian Jia clenched her hands even more anxiously.

Several doctors made diagnoses one after another, fearing that if they misdiagnosed even a little bit, His Royal Highness Hara, who was burning with anger at the moment, would definitely punish them severely. The doctors were so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat.

A doctor beside the bed kept kneading the patient's temple, asked the maid to raise the pillow, and slowly fed him the decoction.

Rubbing between his eyebrows, the doctor took a deep breath and made a diagnosis, "Your Highness, Prince Fulou may have been poisoned by a little sleep medicine. I have already helped him take the medicine to clean his internal organs. It should be fine. After a few days of cultivation, he will be fine." woke up."

——Prince Fulou slept very quietly, he didn't look in pain, he closed his eyes peacefully, breathing evenly and weakly.

However, he had been in a coma for half a day and couldn't be woken up no matter what.

Hearing this answer, Haruo glanced sideways at the servants who were kneeling in a row at the edge of the room, as if the culprit was among them, and those who had been to the couple's bedroom to serve them recently were all brought in to check one by one, unfortunately No one knew about the poisoning, let alone the source of the poison, so no one stood up and spoke out.

"You mean, someone poisoned you?" Hara lay beside the bed, looking at the peaceful expression of Fulou.

The doctor stepped back and packed up the medicine chest. "...It should be so. However, this person's poison is not deep, so there is no serious problem for the time being... If the dosage is increased, it will cause limb weakness, long-term coma, and finally paralyze into a disabled person."

Haruo's face turned livid with the doctor's explanation, and he gritted his teeth again, swallowing his anger.Could it be that he should be thankful that this person wasn't poisonous enough——

No matter what his original intention was, he really made Fulou unconscious.

Even a little bit of poison can't let it go.

After that, only Dasha rested in the room.

After walking out of the room, Lian Jia was still moaning.

In order to find out the matter, the maidservants who were summoned stayed outside the palace and could not leave.Watching them walk by one by one, Haruo seemed to think of something, "It seems that a maid is not here?"

He Luo remembered Fei Tian that Fulou had just mentioned to him today, that girl was not in the ranks of servants just now, it seems that she disappeared after Fulou fainted?In the front hall, looking at the set of teacups that Fulou drank before, it seemed that the tea was not made by Miaoyin, and he thought about it again.

Hara held the teacups and handed them to Naga one by one to check if there was any problem, "Naga?"

Naga understood, and tightened his nose and sniffed each other, "These cups seem to have been filled with something."

Haruo's expression tightened, "Is that so?"

Naga nodded and pointed to the largest teapot, "There is a peculiar smell around the edges of these cups. It should be that toxins were added to the tea water, and it was stained when it was poured in. Even if it is washed once, some parts will remain."

Lian Jia also rushed to grab a teacup, sniffing the edge of the teacup desperately, "Why can't I smell it?"

Naga sighed, "If you can smell it, what's the use of asking me to come..."

He has a sensitive nose since he was a child, perhaps due to family inheritance, he will be very sensitive to smells. Naga has grown up to this age, and he can clearly distinguish almost all the fruits, ingredients, powders, medicines, spices, etc. he has seen. , at this time, he will naturally know more about smell than others.

Naga pursed her lips and rolled her eyelids, "It should be done by the maid, after all, the only one who can go to the backyard to make tea is the personal maid."

Haruo almost crushed the teacup in his hand with strength, but he put it on the table abruptly, "Recently, Fulou accepted a new maid from me, Feitian, and she came here to help with things today. I think she should be a suspect."

Hearing this, Lianjia excitedly shook Haruo's arm and pulled him away, "Then let's go to Feitian for questioning!"

Haruo was already very calm, "She is not among those people just now, if it was really her doing, she should have escaped."

Naga added, "Wait, she doesn't have such courage as a maid, maybe she has a backer."

Lian Jia let go of Brother Huang's arm, bit her lower lip unbearably and thought, "Fei Tian... I always feel that I have seen her somewhere before, she was not Brother Huang's maid, nor Fulou's maid... "

"Lianjia, what did you think of?" Haruo asked right after her words.

Lian Jia searched the only clues in her memory over and over again, but she couldn't think of more, she said vaguely, "It seems to be at the mother's side..."

……

……

This airtight secret room is still concocting mysterious medicine.Fei Tian was whipped a few times, and there were bruises on her arms. She hid in the dark and looked at the adult in the light—he was studying the wine juice on the table with great interest.

He spoke gracefully without any emotion.

"Fei Tian, ​​you are getting better and better, why did your mission fail?"

Fei Tian covered her mouth, restraining her frail tears from pouring out.

"My lord, it is not so, my lord."

The man had a cold smile on his face, "...Fei Tian, ​​if you follow my orders, your sister will be saved."

"My lord, my sister is suffering from a terminal illness, and it is beyond cure. Moreover, I accidentally killed Prince Fulou..."

His pupils widened—Fei Tian suddenly thought of all her mistakes.

Prince Fulou treated her so tenderly and tolerantly, she actually had to take orders from others, and even put Prince Fulou in danger. If she hadn't reduced the amount of poison without authorization, maybe that prince would never won't wake up--

...Fei Tian, ​​please sing for me next time.

Fei Tian couldn't forgive herself, and she also knew that no one would forgive her.

The whole rough hemp rope was whipped up and hit Feitian hard on the head. The man growled, "...you shut up."

The pain made her unable to wipe away the tear stains. Instead, she covered her painful head, "...Master...Sister..."

Grabbing her long hair randomly, she was once again attacked by severe pain, and then fell into a long darkness...

The next day, Feitian's body was floating in the flower pond, her beautiful long hair spread out on the surface of the water, Feitian closed her eyes, and the light clothes covered her scars and wounds, it is unimaginable that this beautiful body has been lost Life, after carrying her ashore, seemed to have frightened the maids in the apse, and no one dared to come and see.

Hara and Lianjia were watching his complexion by the bedside of the floating building.

She just noticed that Fulou's eyelashes were trembling, but she didn't seem to wake up yet.

The door was blown open like the wind, Naga scratched his head apologetically, and said in a low voice: "Hara, we found a female corpse near the lotus garden... It is said that she committed suicide by throwing herself into a pond yesterday."

This news immediately made Haruo's voice stern, "What? Could it be Feitian?"

Lianjia's body tightened, her brows furrowed tightly, she covered her mouth, "Naga..."

Naga approached and patted her on the head, "Don't go, Hara, come and take a look with me, maybe it's Feitian."

……

They rushed to the lotus pond very quickly, and several servants were guarding the body that had been picked up, not allowing anyone to get too close, until Naga and Hara came, and they gave up an open space for His Highness to come and recognize him .

The woman's whole body was still wet, thin clothes wrapped Miaoman's figure, and she was thinner than ordinary maids, her eyes were slightly opened, her complexion was a little purple, she looked quite peaceful, but after a long time, she became a little bit creepy.Did she really commit suicide?

"Hara?"

Hara identified for a while, then clenched his fists, "This is Fei Tian's body."

Was the cause of her death due to the failure of poisoning?

"This is Feitian?! It seems..." Naga took a step back, his keen sense of smell has already made him smell a strong scandal, now that her identity has been confirmed, then yesterday's poisoning must be related to her , they don't need to do much identification.

"Look at the strangle marks on her neck, she didn't commit suicide." Haruo walked around Feitian's body, pointing out the scars on her arms and the blood stains on her forehead.

"If that's the case, she was poisoned and exposed, so she was poisoned. It's true..." Naga looked at it a few times, and after reminding her, the scars were very eye-catching. She beat her palm, and Naga exclaimed, "She must have a background."

Hara exhaled, but he had no clue, which made people confused, "You think so too, who is behind the scenes?"

Naga shook his head, "It's still difficult to find out, after all, there are too few clues."

Hara roughly counted the recent itinerary, there is nothing particularly strange, but——

The national teacher once reminded him about the matter related to the floating building.

Hara asked casually, "Do you think it could be Shiva?"

"Master Shiva wants you to make friends with Fulou? I don't think it's possible..." Naga showed a puzzled expression. Although the national teacher had a lot of thoughts, he had always been loyal to Nabeles, and he had always been there for He For Luo's sake, he should know about He Luolian's going up to the floating building, so why would he do it so painfully.

Hara nodded, "Let's observe for a while first, and go to Shiva to report the situation of the apse first."

Fei Tian's eyes were gently closed by someone's hand, and now she can no longer speak any words.

Haru pulled Naga away from this ominous place as soon as possible.Lotus Garden is closer to Fulou's sleeping palace, it seems that he can't be allowed to live here anymore, and we can talk about it after Feitian's matter subsides.

……

……

After sleeping for a long time, my head was dizzy.

When will you let me take shelter under your lotus feet?My respected mentor...my...precious one...

Still echoing that beautiful song, lingering repeatedly, this song seemed to wake him up to find the love around him...

loved one?He also appeared in the dream.

he……

However, before seeing that handsome face clearly, the light accompanied by the singing gradually disappeared, and the dreamland fell into darkness.A few seconds later, a somewhat unfamiliar zenith mural came into view——

"Fulou, you're awake!"

A young girl's voice rang in Dasha's ear.

It's Lianjia...

It seemed that he had slept so soundly that he almost didn't realize that this sweet smiling face was Lianjia's logo.

Dasha made a mouth shape, but his dry throat could not make a sound, so he forced a smile.

"Come on!"

Lianjia yelled at the door, only Miaoyin ran in with her trousers.

It seemed that the emperor and Naga hadn't come back yet, Lianjia coughed a few times in embarrassment, and leaned over to the bed, she found that Dasha seemed hesitant to speak, probably because he was thirsty.

"What's the matter, Fulou, do you want to drink water?"

Dasha tried his best to open his eyes, greeted the warm yellow light from the sun into the room, and barely made a sound.

"What about Hara?"

After hearing these words clearly, Lian Jia cupped her cheeks with both hands in surprise, as if she was very excited.

But only she herself knows what she is happy about.

Under the care of several maidservants, Dasha drank warm water and took a detoxifying light decoction. He could get out of bed and walk easily, but his head was still a little dizzy. He didn't know that he was poisoned. Lian Jia didn't mention it too much, he just thought he was sleepy, so he fell asleep inexplicably.

This is Hara's room, right?

How shameful to actually fall asleep at Hara's place...

Dasha was already familiar with this place. Hearing that Haruo had something to do and hadn't come back yet, he ordered the guards not to let him go, so he quietly accompanied Lianjia to tease the rabbit in the court.

After a while, Dasha involuntarily stood at the door of the bedroom and looked around.

Dangling, he met a handsome and tall body.

Haruo supported him by the shoulder and went back to the house, "Are you awake?"

Dasha almost fell into his arms again, and forced himself to stand still, "Mmm..."

Haruo nervously looked at the person in front of him, "How's your body?"

"Very well, I'm not feeling sick, you, don't worry about me..." Dasha waved Hara's hand away, and when he was talking to Hara recently, he would lower his head unknowingly.

Naga walked slowly behind.

"Naga, Brother Huang, are you back?" Lian Jia lightly ran over with the small cage, and looked at the somewhat shy Fulou in front of Brother Huang with satisfaction. She thought it was really cute, and she smiled brightly. Until Naga also pulled her into the house.

It's almost time for dinner.

The two followers who got in the way insisted on staying for dinner, and Haruo couldn't drive them away because of face——

I wanted to get closer to him when Fulou woke up, but I could only finish the meal with a bitter face.

While eating, Lian Jia bent over and approached the emperor's brother with a snicker, "Let me tell you, he was calling your name when he woke up."

"..."

Happy……

But he resisted not to reveal it, and Hara ate his meal without changing his face.Lianjia was secretly delighted, while Naga stared at her changeable expression and felt a bit chilly...

Finally, dinner ended happily.

After seeing off Her Royal Highness and Naga, Miao Yin was so tired that she was about to collapse, and she had to prepare a new set of bedding soon——

Last night, in order not to disturb Prince Fulou's illness, His Highness stayed in another spare bedroom. It is estimated that they will sleep together tonight.

Hey.

Recently, Miaoyin also thinks about some strange things indiscriminately, and she can hardly stand it.

……

Looking at the maid who was busy packing the tableware, Dasha thought about helping, but hesitated again. He sat upright, ready to say something else.

"Hara, I'm going back, thank you very much today..."

Haruo sat at the table with her chin propped up, hummed indifferently, and then said in a commanding tone, "From today onwards, you will live with me."

What?Dasha raised his eyes, as if he heard a joke, he couldn't accept it all at once, "Why, why?"

Hara sneered, and asked, "——why?"

what why.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that he hadn't explained Feitian's matter to Fulou, so he didn't think that he slept for such a long time because he was sleepy.

"Someone poisoned you secretly, so you fell asleep for a day. If I can't watch you all the time, I don't worry."

"What, poisoning?" Dasha immediately stood up in surprise, his heavy head made him unsteady, and he sat down helplessly again.

"The little maid you liked before, Fei Tian."

Feeling mixed in his heart, Dasha said with difficulty: "How could it be, Feitian? How could Feitian be poisoned? Then she now..."

Hara described lightly, "She is dead, and her body has been sent away."

It was even more astonishing to the limit. It seemed that he hadn't heard of human life and death for a long time. It was the first time he was so close to him, and so suddenly.

Is the person who left Feitian the one who lingered the blessing in his dream, was it also Feitian...

No wonder, her singing came to pray for blessings in the dream, Dasha folded his palms and couldn't bear to say, "She, is dead? You...executed her?"

Haruo swallowed heavily, "Fulou, in your heart, am I such a cruel person?"

"Then..." Dasha was speechless, Feitian, maybe he was coerced?

Seeing the distressed expression on his face, Haruo felt inexplicably uneasy and irritable, "Someone ordered her to poison her, but it didn't work, so that person took her life."

Fulou treats everyone so kindly. It stands to reason that that maid should be insignificant in Fulou's heart, but she can easily attract his attention. He trusts this woman so unsuspectingly. She was the one who poisoned him.Hara tried her best to calm down the bitter jealousy in her heart.

Dasha murmured, "...Is that so...Hara, have you found out who it is?"

Unexpectedly, the person who was so close will disappear forever inadvertently.Even for such an inconspicuous maid, her departure made people feel very uncomfortable.

Maybe after a while, it will get better.

Dasha's depression is all on his face, why would someone murder him?And the person who wanted to murder him, why did he affect other people's lives? Fei Tian is innocent... Will he implicate more people in the future...

A series of questions came to mind, and the dinner I ate before was rolling in my stomach, which was very uncomfortable.

The table has been cleaned up, and the maid has replaced it with fresh white flowers.

After sniffing the fresh fragrance for a while, Haruo stood up, "I haven't found out who is behind the scenes, until the truth is found out, I will stay by your side all the time, just in case someone poisons you again. "

Dasha admires the flowers inadvertently, the pure white color seems to be sighing for the disappearance of someone.

"Actually, there's no need...I..."

Hara approached him, and for a moment, Dasha lowered his head in panic.Their breaths staggered, and he was shy again.

At this time, he was somewhat resistant to getting close.

Hara's voice became extremely gentle, "Don't worry me."

The whole body was pulled up by a force, and he was taken into this person's arms by the domineering.

"……what."

Different from the barbaric ones in the past, Hara has let go of his pride and indifference, and is seriously worried about his beloved.

"From now on, I will wrong you to sleep on the same bed with me."

Dasha was confused, and asked in a low voice, "What?"

Holding his shoulders tightly, leading him into the inner room, Hara opened the beaded curtain of his bedroom.

Dasha looked at the luxurious big bed that had been replaced with a brand new quilt, and the two pairs of pillows were sweetly squeezed together.
