dust song

Hei Ying was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "Prince, please forgive me for talking too much, it has been so many days, and besides, the thatched house that the man said is surrounded by forests, maybe the body of Mr. Chu has already been killed by wild beasts..."

Murong Chengdu was shocked when he heard the words, a trace of undetectable pain suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Didn't you hear what this king said just now?" Murong Chengdu took a deep breath, but his gaze gradually became cold and ruthless as he looked ahead, and said decisively: "If that's the case, then search the mountains for this king." ! This king wants to see people, even if he is eaten by wild animals, this king still wants to see his bones!"

After the ear-splitting shout, Hei Ying looked at Murong Chengdu's back hesitantly, and finally bowed his head and said: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

In the blink of an eye, Waiting for the black shadow to leave the courtyard without a sound.

Murong Cheng let out a low moan from his throat, and then tightly closed his indifferent eyes. He stood silently on the spot for a while, and then slowly turned around and walked into the palace. His formerly strong and broad body was covered by a shadow at some point. There is an indescribable loneliness.

"Get out..." Murong Cheng said with a cold face, lightly.

Seeing this, the maids saluted together, then bowed and retreated. Before leaving, they also closed the gate of the palace.

.......

Unknowingly, the sky outside the window was already mostly dark, and there were occasional night crows crowing from the courtyard.

In the hall, Murong Chengdu held a white jade wine glass full of spirits in one hand, and leaned dejectedly on the low couch covered with fur cushions, and lifted up the green jade flower pendant in his palm with the other hand, looking at it absent-mindedly, wondering in his heart something.

"Deng-deng-deng-"

When the gongs and drums sounded, high lamps were lit up and down the palace. Looking down from a distance, it was like countless twinkling stars floating on the pitch-black tan.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Tianquan people, the Prince Regent's Mansion is rich and peaceful, and it is an excellent place to go.

However, in some people's eyes, the Prince Regent's Mansion is an invisible prison, so trapped that people can't turn over for the rest of their lives...

After all, some people are doomed to live a mediocre life without making any achievements;

"Murong Chengdu, you are a born king, and the throne of the Tianquan Kingdom should be yours! Everything my concubine did is for you!"

"Murong Chengdu, you obediently listen to your concubine mother's words, bear with it, and after drinking these medicines, the pain will disappear in a while..."

"Murong Chengdu, who allowed you to raise these beasts! Today you must kill them with your own hands in front of your mother and concubine!"

The woman's lunatic growls kept circling in her mind. Murong Chengdu was instilled since childhood that she could not have heart, affection, let alone love, and could only be alone, in a world full of exploitation, deception, killing, conspiracy... Struggling and wandering in the royal palace.

Since he chose this path from the very beginning, the most beautiful things in the world are doomed to have nothing to do with him, and he cannot truly possess them.

A faint wry smile escaped Murong Chengdu's lips, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.In countless late nights, he couldn't count how many times he hated himself deeply.

Maybe all of this is not destined, but he has suffered the consequences.

Or maybe he once had a chance to give up the supreme throne, safely in the previous court, and be the regent king who is under one person and above ten thousand people, occasionally drives horses to hunt, and accompany his beloved by the lake outside the city Watch the sunrise and sunset.

Suddenly, he vaguely remembered that this opportunity that fascinated all sentient beings seemed to have been given to him by Chu Lichen back then, and he held it in front of him with his own heart.

At that time, he only needed to make a look or open his mouth, and he could have it at his fingertips.

But he didn't do that.

Not only did he ruthlessly reject this opportunity, but he also ruthlessly dismissed it, crushing Chu Lichen's heart.

Murong Chengdu thought that no one in the world would fall in love with someone like him aimlessly, except for the little beggar who was holding a broken bowl and smiling like a fool at the market in the capital that day.

That's right, Chu Lichen is indeed an idiot, after Murong Chengdu hurt himself again and again, he ran to Murong Chengdu with a smile on his face, begging him humbly over and over again not to be angry.

"........"

The night was getting darker, but Murong Chengdu was still lying on the soft low couch, refusing to go back to the cabinet to fall asleep for a long time.

He couldn't help thinking, what kind of expression would Chu Lichen show when he came to him intact and not dead?

Those star-like pupils will definitely be filled with anger and hatred, just like looking at a vicious and cruel wolf.

Murong Chengdu seemed to be suddenly afraid that when he really faced such a Chu Lichen, he would be tortured so much that he would not want to live.

However, he was even more afraid that after Chu Lichen really died, every night he would dream of the slender figure that he wanted to see most, but was most afraid of seeing.

Suddenly, a burst of suppressed laughter sounded, Murong Chengdu suddenly stood up and dropped the wine glass, and drew out the clear sword from his side like crazy, he began to slash at all the visible antique ornaments in the palace without any rules, so After venting for a while, Murong Chengdu slowly squeezed out a sentence, "Hehehe... It seems that this king is really crazy..."

There is no sleep in late spring, and the candles in the palace are burning like this all night...

-

At the same time, outside the capital city, in a remote village, only one house on the east side was still lit with candles.

The faint moonlight scattered in this dilapidated small courtyard, like a layer of crystal white gauze.

I saw a tall man in the courtyard leaning motionless against the wooden pillar, with his back to the person behind him, he asked slowly, "Is Xiaochen asleep?"

"After coaxing for a long time, I finally fell asleep in a daze." Siwen shook his head and sighed, squatting at Shao Lin's feet, and said doubtfully: "When I took him to the medical center during the day, the doctor said that he had broken several ribs and his throat was broken. It was also soaked in water and burned, and the number of large and small traumas on his body is countless, but wasn't Chu Lichen taken away by Di Qing at the beginning? Why did he suddenly become like this now?"

Shao Lin's eyes sank suddenly, and then he turned his head to look into the room without answering. After a long silence, he said lightly: "Little Chenzi has nothing to eat during the day, and he might wake up hungry in the middle of the night. I'll go to the kitchen to make some porridge for preparation." Now, there is a vacant room next door, go to sleep by yourself."

After Shao Lin finished speaking, he flashed into the kitchen behind him. Siwen was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and followed behind, crossing his arms and said, "You have to cook porridge and medicine by yourself, how can you take care of it, so I It’s better to help you go in and guard Chu Lichen reluctantly.”

Shao Lin was sitting upright in front of the stove and lighting a fire. He held up the grass clippings, and the slightly ignited fire light swayed on Shao Lin's handsome face.

Seeing that Shao Lin didn't answer for a long time, Siwen just washed rice and boiled water by himself. He gritted his teeth angrily, turned his head and walked into Chu Lichen's room.
