[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Hearing the sound of the door, Zhou Kai put Jia Wan's hand back on the quilt: "You're back so soon?"

After a long while without hearing a response, Zhou Kai turned around and saw Zhao Yi was lowering his head, taking off his shirt layer by layer.

Zhou Kai frowned, and was about to speak when his eyes were attracted by the blood stains on his chest, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why did you splash blood all over and kill someone?"

Zhao Yi gave a faint "hmm".

"Did you really kill someone?" Zhou Kai was stunned: "Who did you kill?"

He immediately became vigilant: there are enemies hiding in this other palace?

Zhao Yi said indifferently: "You don't want to know."

The clothes on his body were heavy, and after taking off two layers, the blood stains disappeared. He threw the blood-stained clothes at the door, walked past Zhou Kai, and said, "Take it and burn it."

"Hello!" Zhou Kai was very dissatisfied: "I am the bodyguard of the Ouchi, not your servant, okay?"

Zhao Yi ignored him, wrapped the person on the bed in a quilt and hugged them together, Zhou Kai hurriedly said, "What are you doing?"

"Medicated bath."

Zhou Kai's expression darkened, and he remembered something, and said again: "I just changed the ginseng slices for Ah Wan, but I didn't find the 900-year-old ginseng, have you used it up?"

"It's stewed."

Zhou Kai was shocked, and said angrily, "You are crazy, the imperial doctor said that he can't..."

Zhao Yi turned his head sharply, his eyes were cold and fierce: "The imperial doctor said he won't live for three days, do I have to watch him die?!"

Holding the person in his arms, he went out without looking back.

……

Inside the main hall.

"Father, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, Father, I won't dare to do it again next time..."

Looking at Zhao Fu who was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, Emperor Qian looked exhausted, and said lightly: "In the struggle for imperial power, there are only winners and losers. How can there be right or wrong? Zhao Fu, you are right, you just lost."

"Father," Zhao Fu shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face: "Please don't talk to your son like that, my son is afraid... Father, I really have no choice... The emperor found my son, and my son dared not refuse at all. ... He has Prince Teng's troops to force the capital outside, and secretly controls the capital camp inside, and he has countless masters working for him... Even if he doesn't find Erchen, he will find someone else... Erchen, Erchen did this for protection Father, with sons and ministers around, at least he won't let father be wronged...

"Grandfather, he doesn't believe in Erchen at all. If it wasn't for Prince Zhongshun who lost his heart because of the Jia family's affairs, how could he choose Erchen... He asked Erchen to personally bring those martial arts Xiaoxiao to attack Father Emperor, just to make Erchen Leave a clue... Father, you have also seen that those people don't listen to me at all... I'm just a puppet, I didn't do anything, Father!"

Although he was incoherent, Emperor Qian understood what he meant, and after listening to him quietly, he said: "The matter is over, and these are not important. Fuer, you and my father and son are destined for this today, and we will never see each other again in this life." , if you have anything else to say, just say it together!"

Zhao Fu looked at Emperor Qian in disbelief, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and said in a trembling voice: "Father...you, you want to kill me?"

Emperor Qian avoided his gaze, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and drank slowly, a cup of tea was bottomed out, and Zhao Fu had not yet opened his mouth, and said: "In that case, you can go back, what do you want to eat and talk to Liu An?" Let me tell you, I will ask them to prepare it for you, and go on the road after eating!"

Director Liu got up and walked to Zhao Fu, stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "Your Highness, please..."

Zhao Fu seemed to have never heard of it, and looked at Emperor Qian motionlessly. Director Liu sighed secretly, and with more force in his hands, he dragged him up: "Your Highness, let's go!"

Zhao Fu was dragged to stand up and woke up like a dream. He pushed Manager Liu away and hissed, "I don't accept it! Why... why?!"

Emperor Qian said indifferently: "Those who seek rebellion will die."

Zhao Fu's eyes were tearing apart: "But I am your son! I am your son!"

Emperor Qian said: "I have more than one son, and it's not like I haven't killed a son before. If you want my son to die, you don't need it."

"I don't! I don't want you to die, I just want..." Zhao Fu shook his head and shouted in tears, "I'm also your son, I'm also a prince, I want to be emperor, what's wrong? Big brother doesn't want it, The second brother was killed by you, so it should be my turn? But you never have me in your eyes, and you even treat the newborn Xiaoliu better than me!

"Someone sent me something you refused to give, why should I not? What's wrong with me?!

"Eldest brother has you in pain. He doesn't want things that others can't ask for. You don't even want them in front of him. Second brother is a legitimate son, born with unlimited honor and favor. Everyone is fawning on him, only me, only me what?" None... In this palace, I am like an invisible person, no one treats me as a serious master, and I have to please Zhao Xuan to live better...

"Why? Obviously I am also a prince, and I have a share in this big world! Why do I have to live by people's faces? Why can't I get ahead for the rest of my life?!"

Manager Liu was sweating profusely when he heard this, and persuaded: "Your Highness, please stop talking!"

"Why don't I say it?" Zhao Fu pushed him away, gritted his teeth and roared, "Don't say it now, will you leave it in the coffin?"

Pointing to Emperor Qian, he said: "Yes, you are more than one son, but the eldest brother hates you, the second brother kills you, and I want to turn against you... Is it all our problem? You are not worthy of being a father at all!

"Since I was born, you have ignored me. Since I was a child, have you ever hugged me once, have you ever taught me to write a word? Every time you talk to me, it's just a prelude to you...

"You treat that Jia better than me! You order the kitchen to make soup for him, you teach him to read, punish him to practice calligraphy, teach him how to deal with political affairs, and let him take a nap beside you when he is sleepy...

"Do you know how much I envy him? When he is disobedient, you whip him all over the floor with a feather duster, but what about me? You just look at me like trash!"

"His Royal Highness, you have misunderstood," Manager Liu couldn't help but said, "The emperor actually treats you..."

He was interrupted by Emperor Qian before he finished speaking, and said coldly: "I love him, and there is a reason why I love him. As for you, I really don't pay enough attention to you, but this is not the reason for your rebellion. Zhao Fu, put The right person to talk with father and son as a prelude to the king is always you, not me."

Zhao Fu was in a daze for a moment, and all the past seemed to come back to his mind. He gritted his teeth, raised his head and sneered, "What about the second brother? Do you dare to say that you are worthy of him? Do you treat him as your own son, or do you want to balance the government? A tool to win over the Zhang family? You clearly know that the Zhang family is not a good thing, but you just ignore it, let your second brother be manipulated by them, and finally go to a dead end..."

Emperor Qian pressed his forehead and did not speak.

No matter what the Zhang family is, Zhao Xuan is his only legitimate son, and he will not be prejudiced against his son because of the Zhang family.

He asked him to start early, recruited famous teachers for him, imposed strict requirements on him, tested him constantly, and prevented him from marrying the Zhang family... But these, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, became his difficulties and defenses against him.

Perhaps he was wrong, if he disregarded the turmoil in the world and dealt with the Zhang family earlier, perhaps Zhao Xuan would have hated him even more, but at least, he would not have come to this point...

"And elder brother, do you think that you are so kind to him that you are moved?" Seeing Emperor Qian's expression in a trance, Zhao Fu felt a burst of joy in his heart, and taunted him, "Then do you know that he is living a life like this?" what day?"

Emperor Qian was startled, and looked over with sharp eyes.

Zhao Fu sneered, and said: "You clearly know how his mother died, you clearly know that he was betrayed, and he lived a life that was worse than death for three full months, and was almost sold to make a pillow for thousands of people and ride a horse for thousands of people. The male prostitute, but you still handed him over to the queen...

"I know what you think. You think that if you entrust his safety to the queen, the queen will not dare to do anything to him... But have you ever thought about his feelings? Are you happy to live on the breath of your enemy?

"No, you haven't thought about it, for you, as long as he lives is enough, isn't it?

"Have you ever seen him fall in the clean room covered in filth, unable to stand up, screaming but unable to make a sound, and can only drag his body with two hands, crawling out a little bit? No? ? I've seen it!

"I, and many other servants were lying outside the window and looking at him, and when he finally crawled out, they covered their noses and surrounded him, saying, 'Oh, Your Highness, why are you so careless? It's...'

"Do you still remember the time when his palace caught fire? It was said that he didn't want to keep someone to serve him at night, so he accidentally knocked over the candle and burned the tent, but it wasn't true! It was the servant who served him who secretly lit it while he was asleep. His quilt, I want to see if he can stand up and escape in a hurry...

"And that time when I fell into the lotus pond and almost drowned, that's right!

"Even I know about these things, but you, the royal father who claims to love him the most, can't see or hear you. Every time something happens, deal with a few servants, and just reprimand the queen with no pain.

"It is said that he is lonely and has a bad temper... What is bad temper, it is a miracle that he hasn't been driven crazy yet.

"The last time I found out that he had been poisoned for several years, my father seemed to be shocked? Ha! You handed him over to the enemy, not to mention giving him poison, even if you fed him shit, he would have to eat it! Hahahahahaha... "

With a crisp sound of "pop", the teacup in Emperor Qian's hand exploded under Zhao Fu's feet: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up..."

Emperor Qian coughed violently, his hands and feet were trembling.

Manager Liu rushed over to help him breathe smoothly, Emperor Qian grabbed his wrist, Manager Liu understood, and sighed: "His Royal Highness Qian Wang has an arrogant temperament. I said it twice at the beginning, but I won't say it when I see..."

"Zhen, I clearly..." He clearly put his cronies by Zhao Yi's side and let Hao Sheng take care of them, and if there was anything wrong, he would report to him directly.

"You asked the queen to be responsible for the daily safety of His Highness Qianwang, and it is justified for her to deal with the people around Qianwang... Those people you placed were either bought by her, or sent to a wrong place...Your Majesty, Your Highness Qianwang Although I suffered some grievances, at least I grew up safely, right? If not, I'm afraid..."

Manager Liu shook his head, not daring to continue.

A half-dumb prince with a broken leg was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the empress, and it was due to Emperor Qian's handling of him that he could live to this day.

Director Liu comforted: "Your Majesty, you are also thinking about the country, and this is the best way."

Isn't the reason why the empress monopolizes power in the harem because the Zhang family is too important in the court?The Zhang family is deeply intertwined, and they have a lot of connections between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, even the Emperor dare not do anything!

Emperor Qian laughed at himself, feeling bitter in his heart.

Not long ago, Zhao Yi said - "In this world, I have nothing but him..."

He thought it was just his eldest son's extreme words in anger, but it turned out not to be.

Eight years ago, it was the eight-year-old child who accompanied him through three months of darkness, and rescued him from the flames. Eight years later, it was the child who had grown into a teenager, and stretched out his hand to pull him out of hell... …

But as his father, he said eloquently—"At the beginning, he pretended to be an assassin to frame the queen, and it was enough for him to kill everyone!"

When his son heard this sentence, he was afraid that he had already been disappointed in him, so he just changed it into a sentence: "Yes, among the many princes, father loves me the most, but father has the world in his heart, and all other things are insignificant." ..."

I love him the most...

Hearing this sentence, he himself found it funny.

No wonder he said: "In this world, I have nothing but him..."

He also said: "As long as there is him in this world, no matter how bad it is, I am willing to live..."

But what if that person is gone?

Splitting headache.

Mr. Liu saw that his expression was not right, so he hurriedly supported him: "Your Majesty, did you have a headache again? This old slave is going to ask the imperial physician!"

Emperor Qian shook his head.

Director Liu also remembered what was placed here, so he didn't dare to persist, so he could only massage the acupuncture points for Emperor Qian, trying to make him more comfortable. After a while, Emperor Qian pushed him away and said: "It's okay, you are not Yizhi, No matter how you press it, it will be like this."

Glancing at Zhao Fu, he waved his finger and said wearily, "Take it back!"

Manager Liu sighed secretly, thinking that it would be great if Mrs. Jia was here, his internal energy has miraculous effects, and if he presses it once for the emperor, if he is not stimulated, he will not have an attack for a few days... When he is around, the emperor will sleep Both are sweeter.

Walking in front of Zhao Fu again, his attitude was not as polite as before, and he said lightly, "His Royal Highness, please."

……

Being dragged out of the palace gate, the cold wind hit, Zhao Fu suddenly shivered, it was pitch black night outside, the sky was starless and moonless, and a group of guards who escorted him stood coldly by the side of the road with swords in their hands, behind them , It was a darkness where he couldn't see the way ahead, he couldn't help but look back, the luxurious palace room was brightly lit.

Suddenly, fear spread endlessly from his back...

Manager Liu ordered lightly: "Take His Royal Highness King Liang back."

Turned around and left, but was held back by Zhao Fu, tremblingly said: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die... Eunuch Liu, I don't want to die..."

Manager Liu sighed, tore off his hand, and pushed him aside.

Zhao Fu fell to the ground, stunned for a moment, got up like crazy and rushed back into the hall: "Father, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Director Liu raised his hand to prevent the guards from approaching, followed Zhao Fu into the hall, and closed the door.

Zhao Fu rushed forward, hugged Qiandi's leg tightly, broke down and cried: "Father, I don't want to die, I was wrong, you forgive me! I am not yet 20 years old, I have not married a wife and have children... ...I don't want to die, Father..."

Tears wet the skirt of Qiandi's clothes.

Seeing that Emperor Qian didn't say anything, Mr. Liu stood quietly by the side.

Zhao Fu cried for a long time before he heard Emperor Qian's voice: "You don't want to die?"

Zhao Fu was shocked and nodded desperately.

Emperor Qian said: "There is a dagger behind the screen, if you pick it up, you won't have to die."

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Fu said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it!"

Only then did I notice that there was a screen placed abruptly next to it, very close to the seat, blocking in front of a pillar.

He stood up, turned the screen slowly, and then backed away in a hurry, knocking the screen to the ground, and sat on the fallen screen, frightened out of his wits: "Huang, Huangpa..."

Zhao Fu's eyes fell on the bruises on the Taishang Emperor's neck, the wound on his chest, and the bloody dagger on the ground. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses. He slowly raised his head to look at Emperor Qian, and said with difficulty: "You... ...killed Grandpa Huang?"

Apart from him, there are only Manager Liu and Emperor Qian here. If Manager Liu killed someone, he would not be here alive.

Without waiting for Emperor Qian to answer, Zhao Fu shook his head and denied: "No, it's not you. Now that the overall situation has been settled, killing the emperor's grandpa will cause harm but no benefit. You won't do such a thing...I know!"

His eyes lit up: "It's Zhao Yi! It's that idiot Zhao Yi! Except him, who would do such a thing, who would let you cover it for him..."

Then his expression changed suddenly: "You, you want me to help him take the blame?"

The anger completely wiped out the rationality that had finally returned. Zhao Fu's face was grim, and he said word by word: "Don't even think about it! Not only will I not take the blame for him, but I will tell everyone in the world that it is he, Zhao Yi, who leads people Killed five thousand imperial guards, leveled the other palace of the Supreme Emperor! It was he, Zhao Yi, who personally killed the Supreme Emperor and his own grandfather!

"You want me to take the blame for him? I want to ruin his reputation and leave him dead!"

His chest heaved violently, and he looked at Emperor Qian provocatively, but he heard Emperor Qian calmly say: "It's not him, it's Zhen."

Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment.

Emperor Qian's tone was as calm as water: "It was I who had a dispute with the Supreme Emperor and accidentally stabbed the Supreme Emperor... After returning to Beijing, I will accuse the world and place Zen in Zhao Yi.

"These days, I have more and more frequent headaches, and I can't handle political affairs well. Although Yi'er is paranoid, her roots are good, and Yizhi is a good boy. With him watching, I believe that Yi'er will be a good emperor." .”

Zhao Fu stared blankly at him, and suddenly laughed again, pointing at Emperor Qian and said: "You lied to me! You don't even want to lie to me! If you had planned this long ago, why did you let me take the blame for him? It's obvious that you don't want the throne You are nothing more than that to Zhao Yi!"

Emperor Qian said: "Yi'er doesn't want to be emperor, I can't bear to force him."

"Forcing him?" Zhao Fu looked at Emperor Qian in disbelief: "You call this forcing him? It's your son, you take the blame for him, and you are afraid of wronging him if you give up the throne to him... But you, But you want to kill me?"

Emperor Qian didn't look at him anymore, and said indifferently: "The dagger is there, if you don't pick it up, Yi'er ascends the throne, I will abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor; if I pick it up, I will continue to be the emperor, and who will succeed to the throne will be discussed later. You choose!"

After staring at Emperor Qian in a daze for a while, Zhao Fu picked up the dagger, grasped it with both hands and stabbed desperately at the Supreme Emperor's chest, with a roar that seemed to be crying or laughing.

Emperor Qian got up to stop him, but sat down slowly and glanced at Manager Liu.

Manager Liu rushed out and pushed open the palace door, shouting, "Someone is coming! It's bad! His Royal Highness King Liang is crazy! Come here..."

After a long time, the hall was clean again. Director Liu gently pressed Emperor Qian's temple and asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell His Highness King Liang that you never thought of killing him?"

"...Why bother to say more, let him have someone to hate, and he can live with peace of mind."

He added: "Give him another 1 taels of silver."

Fake death and leave Beijing, never to see each other again in this life.

……

By the side of the hot spring pool, the smoke is lingering, there is no fragrance of petals, but it is filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Zhao Yi lowered his head, poured the last sip of the medicinal juice into the young man's mouth, carried him into the hot spring and sat down slowly by the edge of the pool, letting the young man lean his head on his shoulder and curl up in the water.

"Enough sleep, wake up quickly," he smiled, lowered his head and stroked the messy hair on the boy's cheeks, and whispered: "It's okay if you don't wake up..."
