Shadow guard, he carried my cub

As he grows older, a problem that Chi Ming doesn't want to think about also arises, and this problem is choosing a concubine.

At the age of 16, the emperor and the empress began to look for candidates for the crown prince for Chi Ming, but Chi Ming rejected them one by one. For this reason, the empress was worried about whispering in the emperor's ear all day long. The emperor had no choice but to call Chi Ming to be serious. Asked why he refused to choose the princess.

Chi Ming replied: "Father, those ministers don't like them, and the ministers also want to find someone they love to be with them for the rest of their lives, just like the father and queen mother."

The emperor laughed when he heard this, and since then the emperor has never forced Chi Ming again, with his own living example here, what reason does he have to force his son to marry someone he doesn't like.

In fact, Chi Ming always remembered what his father said to let Yi be his concubine, and thought that it would be okay if it was Yi.It's just that the father never mentioned this matter again, and it might just be a joke after thinking about it.

Chi Ming took it for granted that in the future, he and Yiying would be good brothers for life in private, and would be a wise king and virtuous minister that others would not envy in court.

Until that happened, all his beautiful visions for the future came to naught.

That year when Chi Ming was just full, the toxins in his body suddenly broke out, but this time the sage doctor did not come to give him acupuncture and moxibustion to suppress the toxins in his body as usual, and the palace servants all retreated out without knowing when, and he was the only one left in the empty bedroom.

Chi Ming couldn't figure out why his father didn't let the sage doctor come, why there was no one in his dormitory, his heart hurt unbearably, he curled up on the ground and lost his ability to think.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light shone into the hall, and Chi Ming endured the pain and looked up. He saw two servants on his bed with the unconscious Yiying on his bed, and saw his father walking towards him slowly. He stopped in front of him and looked down at him.

"Father..."

The emperor knelt down/body stroked Chi Ming's hair lovingly: "Poisoned? The emperor brought you the medicine."

The two servants placed Yiying on the crown prince's bed and bowed out of the hall. Only father and son and a comatose Yiying were left in the hall.

Chi Ming didn't understand what the medicine his father was talking about, so he asked, holding back the pain in his heart, "Medicine?"

The emperor glanced meaningfully at the bed behind Chi Ming: "No good medicine can compare to a medicine man, does Minger understand what Emperor Father means?"

Medicine man?Yat is a medicine man!

Chi Ming was shocked, his breathing became more and more difficult because he was too excited, he gasped heavily and grabbed the emperor's forearm, his eyes were wide open, obviously very angry.

"Have you got his consent!"

The emperor frowned: "Yiying is just a shadow guard. Without me, he would have died a long time ago. Now that he is alive, he should be grateful to me, not resentful."

"Father did so much just for today?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I care so much about a shadow guard."

Chi Ming now understands that his father did not train Yiying as the leader of the shadow guards from the very beginning, and he did not even treat Yiying as a normal shadow guard. To his father, Yiying is a container, and he suppresses it. A cure for toxins in the body, not even the individual.

Chi Ming's eyes were full of pain, he looked at his father and wanted to make a final struggle: "Father, Xiao Yi is human."

"Father did not say that he is not human, but the fate of people is different, this is Yiying's fate."

Chi Ming looked at his father with doubts in his eyes. He felt a little strange to the father in front of him. Is this what a king should say? Is this the one who always taught him to love the people like a son, and what he should do in the future? A Mingjun's father?

"Do you still remember the story my father told you when I was a child? In fact, there is still the second half of the story," the emperor said: "The tiger took the rabbit into the hole to heal its wounds, and gave it food, not to make friends with it. In the eyes of the tiger, the rabbit is just the food he reserves."

Chi Min listened quietly, laughing at himself in his heart, he should have realized that only he regards Yiying as a friend, as a person, and in the eyes of the superiors, Yiying is still just a tool that can be used.

He has always misunderstood the meaning of the father, and he is smart and self-righteous, but he has never doubted the father.

The emperor slowed down his tone and patted Chi Ming's shoulder lightly, speaking earnestly as if he was facing an old friend for many years: "Ming'er, father, this is all for your own good, I am not only the king of a country, but also Husband of a woman, father of a child, I cannot suffer for my wife and children while serving the country and the people."

The emperor sighed and got up and turned his back to Chi Ming, his back revealed a little helplessness and sadness: "Even if you hate the father, the father will recognize it, but if you refuse, Yiying will be worthless, and I can only kill him."

Chi Ming's pupils shrank suddenly and his arms trembled. His father's words completely crushed him. Everything he had hoped for and yearned for became the biggest joke in the world at this moment.

"It's up to you."

The emperor didn't look at Chi Ming again, left the last sentence and walked out of the hall.

Chi Ming half-lyed on the spot without moving, a few blood-red fingerprints appeared on the floor in front of him, blood was dripping from all ten fingers of Chi Ming, he was indifferent, the grief in his heart had already overshadowed the pain in his body, his eyes sat blankly. In the same place, let his father's words linger in his heart over and over again.

After a while, the chief eunuch and two servants entered the hall. The servants helped up the fallen censer and lit the incense inside. Then they walked to the prince's bed and were about to strip off Yiying's clothes.

"Don't touch him, get out!"

The two servants were so frightened that they stopped immediately, and looked at the chief at a loss. The eunuch in charge waved his hand to signal the two to go down.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Empress Dowager. Could it be that His Royal Highness has the heart to send a white-haired empress to a black-haired empress?"

Chi Ming's eyes flickered, as if he had moved.

The chief eunuch is an old man by the emperor's side, and he grew up watching Chi Ming, so he couldn't bear it, so he talked more to persuade the prince, no matter how much he said, it was not something he should say as a slave.

The chief eunuch led the two servants out, and the last beam of light was shut outside the door, and the hall fell into darkness again.

Chi Ming stayed there for a moment, then got up and stumbled to the bedside, he untied Yiying's belt with trembling hands, and the clothes fell on the stepping steps in layers.

A scorching breath rushed straight to the lower abdomen, and it was only then that Chi Ming realized that what the servant lit was not ordinary incense. His good father was afraid that he would run away, and there must be someone guarding the outside of the palace. Can't miss this palace gate.

……

Sorry, Yat.

Chi Ming leaned over and kissed him cautiously, a tear fell down between his lips and teeth together with bitterness and sourness.

Yiying opened his eyes and recognized that he was in the Prince's bedroom. He remembered that he was resting in the room and fell asleep for no reason. How could he wake up in His Highness's bedroom?

Yiying got up in a panic in her heart. Although the underwear was neatly put on her body, there was a dull pain behind her because of her sudden movement. The terrifying thought of believing arises spontaneously in my heart.

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Yiying quickly got dressed, and hurried out of the bedroom, grabbed the servant who was guarding outside the hall, and asked anxiously, "Where is Your Highness, where is His Highness?"

The servant looked flustered and shook his head and said he didn't know. Yiying left the servant and performed light kung fu and ran almost all over the palace. When he saw the maid and the servant, he asked where His Highness was. shaking his head.

After searching all the places to look for, Yiying returned to the residence in a dispirited manner. If His Highness wanted to hide from him, how could he find him? Even Shen Qiuchen disappeared, and Yiying lay on the bed with arms folded, bowing His body almost shrank himself into a ball, but even so, he still felt very cold.

He was thinking why His Highness avoided him, why he didn't see him, at least give him an explanation, Your Highness.

Unknowingly, Yiying fell asleep, and when he woke up, he didn't know what time it was. No one reminded him to eat, and no companion told him to go to training. He seemed to be a transparent person in the palace, walking freely without being ignored.

He ran through most of the palace every day and still couldn't find His Highness. After a few days, Yiying looked haggard and became thinner visible to the naked eye.

Finally one day Yiying found Shen Qiuchen, to be exact, Shen Qiuchen found him.

"Qiu Chen, where is Your Highness, where is Your Highness?"

Yi image grabbed Shen Qiuchen as if he had caught a life-saving straw, his eyes were full of pleading, he desperately wanted to know where His Highness was.

Shen Qiuchen couldn't bear it: "Your Highness, he can't see you. His Highness said he was sorry for you, and asked you to take care of your health, and stop humiliating yourself."

Yiying almost begged: "Do you know what happened, tell me!"

"I don't know, don't ask, if His Highness doesn't want to see you, you can't find it, so don't look for it anymore."

After Shen Qiuchen finished speaking, he broke away from Yiying and left in a hurry, leaving Yiying alone in a daze, he didn't know what His Highness meant.

Shen Qiuchen walked into a corner and stopped, Chi Ming was also there looking at Yiying in the distance.

"Your Highness, is this okay? Are you really not going to see Yiying?"

Chi Ming stared at Yiying's figure obsessively, and murmured softly, "I don't have the face to see him."

So many Tianchiming have followed behind Yiying, seeing his pain in his eyes and imprinting it in his heart, he really felt sorry for Yiying, so Shen Qiuchen appeared to speak for him, but he didn't have the courage to walk up to Yiying and explain What.Because he couldn't explain what his father did to Yiying, including what he did to Yiying, he was afraid that Yiying would show disgust and hatred in his eyes, and he was even more afraid that Yiying would accuse him.

Seeing Yiying looking for him tirelessly over and over again, Chi Ming felt for the first time that he was a scumbag. After doing that kind of thing to Yiying, he could only watch him suffer. nothing.Chi Ming propped his arms against the wall, choking with his forehead on his arm.

He hated himself for being cowardly at this moment.

A few days later, Yiying was carried into the East Palace like an object again. Chi Ming broke out completely, throwing a tantrum and smashing the things in the palace to pieces. Dare to go in and touch the mold.

It took about half an hour for the voices in the hall to finally stop. Chi Ming used this method to vent his dissatisfaction and violence, but it was of no use. He still couldn't resist his father's decision. It would really kill Yiying.

This feeling of being controlled by someone is really terrible. Even if that person is his father, Chi Ming still feels disgusted. How much he respected his father before, but now he feels so much resentment in his heart!
