so long

Early in the morning, Prince Ning's mansion parked several carriages with golden tripods and red tents. There were seven-pointed golden bells hanging on the carriages. Just a little movement would make a pleasant bell. Wooden fish soothes people's nerves.

After waiting outside for a long time, the carriage finally ushered in the owner who was about to be picked up. He was wearing a smoke-blue shirt with a white background, a long robe with white folds spread out, wide shoulders and narrow waist, long hair reaching hips, and a pearl on his head. With a crown of hair, green jade bracelets on her hands, and blood-colored rubies on her waist, she seemed to be walking from an ink painting.

The carriage drivers who were waiting at the door knelt down to salute when they saw the person coming, and then hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage and helped the man up. He was unattainable, and he didn't even dare to focus too much on the man. After picking up an old imperial doctor and getting into another carriage, the two carriages drove slowly amidst the sound of the driver whipping his whip.

The palace of Prince Ning seemed to become more deserted all of a sudden, and the colorful flowers blooming everywhere lost their color in an instant. A handsome young man was standing on the promenade, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand. It looks good, unlike Yin Chao's own country's pattern, which has a strong exotic style.

A servant came from not far away, stopped a few steps away from the young man, saluted and said: "My son, the prince has already boarded the carriage."

The young man who was called the crown prince had obvious blackness under his eyelids, and his beautiful eyes showed a bit of fatigue. After the young man waved his hand to let the servants leave, he poured the hot tea in the cup expressionlessly. Pour it on the right flowers blooming outside the promenade.

Then, the teacup was thrown away casually by Shizi, and he left the corridor and walked towards the study.

Ning Chongyun didn't have the habit of going to the study early in the morning, but when he realized it today, he was already standing in front of the secret room door of the study, with his hand on the mechanism inkstone.

He only needs to push down the inkstone slightly with his hand, and the wall behind the entire bookshelf will open a hole from the side, allowing one person to pass through.

Ning Chongyun looked at the desk that seemed to have signs of being passive, and slowly lowered his eyelids. His long curly eyelashes cast a large dark color on the eyelids, making the young man's face appear more three-dimensional, making it unforgettable.

The hand that was pressing on the inkstone moved slightly, and pressed the inkstone down. With a 'click' sound, the secret door opened slowly and silently, and Ning Chongyun strolled in.

In the dark room, there is a night pearl that can illuminate the entire dark room as long as the box is opened. Ning Chongyun gently lifted the lid of the box with his hands, and the soft light instantly filled the dark room, and the whole space was visited by a variety of things. As big as an old chair, as small as an unfinished string of candied haws...

These things are obviously not very valuable, and some of them are not even valuable, but they are kept here by young people, which is really weird.

But Shizi seemed to have come to a kingdom where he could finally relax, walked in step by step, sat on that old chair, closed his eyes and rested for a while, opened his eyes and placed a piece on the table next to him on the brocade Take out the cloth from the box and spread it out, there is a glaring pool of bright red blood on the pure white cloth!

Shizi seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled, then slowly lowered his head, his hair slipped from behind to his chest, the cloth just happened to be brought to the tip of his nose by himself, and he sniffed deeply...

……

In the depths of the magnificent palace, next to the Golden Luan Hall, there is an Anliu Pavilion. The Anliu Pavilion was built shortly after Emperor Juxiu ascended the throne, and the year when his sister died. It used to be Emperor Juxiu's favorite place. There are the most rare treasures in the world. Some people say that it is just a favorite resting place of Emperor Juxiu. Others say that Emperor Juxiu hides his beauty in the golden house inside, hiding peerless beauties.

However, only the eunuchs on duty here know that this Dark Grave Pavilion is not a place to store rare treasures, nor is it a place to rest, let alone a golden house.This is just a place where Emperor Juxiu put his own paintings. In his spare time, he occasionally came here to appreciate them.

The old eunuch who has been cleaning the Dark Grape Pavilion for decades is one of the few people who can go in and clean it.

Ten years ago, he was a celebrity in the palace, because Emperor Juxiu often came to the Dark Grape Pavilion and had many opportunities to meet and serve him, so many people fawned on him, but now, Emperor Juxiu came more and more often At least, he is still the eunuch who cleans the Dark Liu Pavilion, but his low position has plummeted.

I remember decades ago, Emperor Juxiu would come here every day and stay there for half an hour.

Although fewer came later because of taking care of Prince Ning who was still a child, he still remembered this place.

It's just that I haven't been here in recent years, and it's been five years since Emperor Juxiu came to Dark Grave Pavilion last time!

This Dark Grape Pavilion is like an old concubine, forgotten in a corner of the deep palace, no, it is not appropriate to call it a concubine, after all, the young and beautiful concubine who stayed beside Emperor Juxiu has never been in court for five years .

But without warning, on this day, Emperor Juxiu actually came to Anliu Pavilion!Just looking at it from a distance makes people feel the mighty power of the emperor everywhere, but the eunuch who just woke up has not reacted yet, and when Emperor Juxiu walked in front of him, the eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said nothing. What, Emperor Juxiu walked in without stopping, leaving only rows of guards and maids standing outside behind him...

The eunuch who thought he would be punished was relieved immediately, with a smile on his face, he moved carefully to Eunuch Fang, the chief eunuch, and asked, "Eunuch Fang, why... why did His Majesty come here so early! I don't believe it at all. No……"

Eunuch Fang glanced at the other party indifferently, and said in a low voice: "The whole palace belongs to His Majesty, so His Majesty naturally came whenever he wanted to. Could it be that we need to let you know before we can?"

"No, no, the villain doesn't mean that..." The eunuch who had stayed in the Dark Grave Pavilion for decades shook his head hastily, and at the same time kept silent, he looked at the tightly closed dark red wooden door of the Dark Gravy Pavilion, Keep doubts in your heart...

But at this moment, Emperor Juxiu stood in front of a life-length portrait, looked at the delicate woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, stopped for a moment, then turned around and walked towards other portraits without hesitation...

There are hundreds of portraits hanging in the huge painting pavilion, except for the first few paintings of a beautiful woman, the next portraits are all of Prince Ning of Prince Ning's Mansion!

In the painting, Prince Ning, from being handsome and cute as a child to being detached as an adult, everything is vivid on the paper, and his eyes are particularly vivid, as if there are thousands of words contained in his eyes...

Emperor Juxiu stayed in Anliu Pavilion for about half an hour, when someone from the palace came to show that Prince Ning's carriage had arrived at the gate of the palace, and asked His Majesty whether to send the prince to Zhaoque Palace or here.

At this time, only Eunuch Fang dared to go in and disturb Emperor Juxiu.

After Eunuch Fang entered, he could tell at a glance that the woman in the portrait was Yin Zheng, the elder sister who died more than [-] years ago.However, Eunuch Fang stopped looking after a hasty glance, walked quickly and softly behind His Majesty, and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning has arrived..."

Emperor Juxiu didn't look back, he still looked at the person in the painting and said, "Send him to Zhaoque Palace first..."

"Yes." Eunuch Fang silently nodded and was about to step back when he heard Emperor Juxiu ask:

"Tell me, how about Yaoyao in the painting?"

Eunuch Fang tightened his scalp, and said with a smile: "It's wonderful to put Prince Ning's previous demeanor on paper."

Emperor Juxiu chuckled: "The old one..."

Eunuch Fang's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground, wanting to say that the current prince is also very good, but he couldn't say a word.

Only then did Emperor Juxiu turn around, glanced lightly at Eunuch Fang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Doctor Hong came with Yaoyao?"

"Come, come."

"What about the others?"

"The imperial physicians in the palace are also waiting in the back hall, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Fang has no idea what Emperor Juxiu wants to do now, and only feels a biting chill on his back.

Emperor Juxiu smiled lightly and nodded, not intending to punish Eunuch Fang, he said, "Let's go. You can't make Yaoyao wait too long..."

Eunuch Fang said yes again and again, and when he looked up, he saw Emperor Juxiu's straight and broad back and the golden dragon on the black dragon robe...
