Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

Chatai's words seem to be preparing to take me to the Northland.The road to Beiguo is long and dangerous. It is said that the people there not only have open folk customs, but also drink hot blood and eat raw meat.Beiguo wants to use me to discuss trade matters. Although I don't understand government affairs, I also know that such important matters cannot be decided just because I am a prince.

If the trade fails, the Northern Kingdom will definitely kill me.

I haven't succeeded in taking revenge, so I'm going to die again?

If Lin Chongtan knew that I was resurrected from the dead and died again, he would smile happily and sit in the position of the second young master of the Lin family with more peace of mind.

I tried my best to let myself think about other things and not pay attention to the environment I was in, but the quiet and cramped space still deepened my fear step by step.It seemed to go back to the night of my 17th birthday, when I was locked in a box. No matter how I struggled or tried to escape, I couldn’t leave that dark, stuffy box.

It was Lin Chongtan who rescued me from the box, but that night, he kissed me.That night was like the beginning of all nightmares for me, and now I am falling into nightmares again.

Because I was locked in the box, I didn't know the passage of time, and I only felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe.I curled up in the box in a daze, I didn't even know when the box was opened, the light streamed in, I was untied by the visitor, hugged from the box into his arms, and the consciousness gradually returned.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." The man said to me softly, and at the same time took off his outer robe to cover me.

I was locked up alone for a long time, when I suddenly felt the warmth of another person, I instinctively hugged him tightly, wishing I could embed myself in the other person's arms, and couldn't control my tears, sobbing, until the person kissed my cheek lightly with his lips, warm Call me "Xiaodi".

I froze all over, and after smelling the familiar scent of medicine, I struggled immediately.

"let me go!"

Not only did Lin Chongtan not let go, but he continued to coax me, "Xiaodi, don't be afraid, those people from the Northern Kingdom have been arrested, we'll go back now."

"I'm not Xiaodi, don't call me that!" I almost collapsed again, why is it always Lin Chongtan, why is it always him?

I suddenly broke away from his embrace and fell to the ground. He still wanted to come and hug me. I don't know how embarrassed I am now. I just want him not to approach me.

"Don't come here! Don't touch me!"

Lin Chongtan paused, but after a while he still approached me.I resisted and stepped back, hearing him call me Xiaodi again, I couldn't help it, "I'm not Lin Chundi, how many times do you want me to tell you? Lin Chundi is dead, he died a long time ago! You think people are dead Can it be resurrected? How ridiculous, if a person can be resurrected after death, why don't you die?!"

He stopped completely, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at me differently than before, and I seemed to have discovered his weakness, propped up my body and got up from the ground.

"Lin Chongtan, do you regret it? But there is no regret medicine in the world. You people called me Lin Chundi by my name, but you called me a thousand or ten thousand times, and Lin Chundi also died. I heard that he died in the water. Here, the corpse soaked in the lake water must be ugly, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Lin Chongtan's face turned completely pale, and I seemed to see the light in his eyes fade away little by little, like a gorgeously colored mountain scene turned into a black and white ink painting.

But after a while, he actually approached me, "Ninth Prince, let's get off the boat first."

I didn't want him to touch me, so I tried my best to break free, and during the struggle, I pulled a rope around his neck.When I accidentally pulled it off, I realized that the rope looked very familiar——

It is the red string gold sheep that I once wore.

Because I have dropped the golden goat, there is a small flaw in the horn of the golden goat.

What is Lin Chongtan wearing this for?

I was still wearing the red rope golden sheep around my neck before I died, and he took it off my neck?

At that moment, nausea filled my whole body, and I couldn't help but clenched the red rope golden sheep in my hand, and ran to the cabin window.

"Little flute!"

I've never heard Lin Chongtan's voice so out of control, as if he was extremely afraid of what was about to happen.I looked back at him, saw him coming, and said sharply, "Stop!"

He stopped immediately, and for the first time I fully understood the emotion in his eyes, which were full of caution, fear and pain.

pain?

Will a person like him still suffer?

Must be lying to me again.

"I won't come close, you... don't get so close to the window, come here, okay? I won't touch you." Lin Chongtan said softly to me.

I took a look at the red rope golden sheep in my hand, and the past often flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.He played the flute for me, played shadow puppetry for me, and delivered a lot of gifts to my house. In the end, it was just a murder trap.

I laughed sarcastically, and threw the red rope golden sheep out of the window in front of Lin Chongtan, "You misidentified the wrong person, Lin Chundi is dead, just like this, throwing it into the river, you will never die in your life." May see you again."

After I finished speaking, I endured my weakness and walked out of the cabin, but within a few steps, there was a "plop" sound of falling into the water behind me.

The sound made me froze for a moment, and I turned to look at the window, which was even wider than I had before.When I walked to the window, I only saw unsettled water splashes.

"Brother." The prince's voice suddenly sounded from the hatch.

I immediately wanted to pick up the robe I had thrown on the ground earlier, but the crown prince stopped me first.

He lingered presumptuously on me, and even stretched out his hand to brush my long hair hanging in front of him.I took a step back and he took a step closer.

"What are you doing?" I tried to control the tremor in my voice.

The prince finally shifted his gaze to my face, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to see if my good little brother was injured." He didn't understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence, "Fortunately, Chatai likes women and is not masculine."

He took off the cloak hanging between his arms and put it on for me, "Go back to the palace, Father and Concubine Zhuang are worried about you."

I looked at the prince, and the details that I had ignored before surfaced little by little, "Did you know what happened tonight?"

The boat that hasn't moved for so long, the guards that are so lax, and the cloak he prepared in advance, it seems that he already knows what I have gone through.

Hearing what I said, the prince showed a smile on his soft face, "It seems that you are not stupid enough. Although the people of the Northern Kingdom are brave and good at fighting, they are all reckless and as stupid as pigs. The emperor has always wanted to marry Beibei and Beibei." There is now a valid reason to draw the border a little further out.”

He stretched out his hand and tore off the veil from my head, "I will see Father later, remember to cry well."

It turned out to be like this, I was just a bait for a trap, no wonder the guards didn't look at my face carefully, maybe they recognized me long ago, but kept it secret.

No matter how angry I was, I knew that losing my temper with the prince at this time would not help the matter, so I could only grit my teeth and follow him off the boat for the time being.The prince sent me to the carriage and walked away. I think he was going to deal with the northerners.

Because no one was driving for a long time, I reached out and opened the window.

The car window faced the river, and a white shadow floated on the surface of the water. The white shadow didn't stay on the water surface for a long time, and then dived into the water again. I didn't know how many times. When I was tired of watching, the white shadow finally got out of the water.

Lin Chongtan was drenched all over, and he staggered ashore. After walking a few steps, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Someone stepped forward to help him, but he pushed him away.Lin Chongtan looked down at the thing in his hand, as if he cherished it very much, and slowly wiped off the bright red blood at the corner of his lips with his other hand.Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed my gaze, and looked up to the carriage, and I caught his gaze unexpectedly.

At this time, his face was paler than the moonlight, and because of vomiting blood, his lips were extremely red, like a ghost in the river.

I turned my face away indifferently and closed the car window again.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the palace gate, it was stopped by someone.

Concubine Zhuang Guifei's voice came from outside the car, "Is Congxi in the car?"

I opened the car door before the crown prince could answer, and Concubine Zhuang's eyes turned red when she saw me, and she stretched out her hand, "Congxi, come down."

And when I got out of the car, she saw my feet without boots, and her eyes became redder.When I arrived at Chonghua Palace, Concubine Zhuang immediately asked someone to bring shoes and socks, and then checked whether I was injured. I didn't want her to see my clothes under the cloak, but she cried when I didn't.

Of course, after seeing it, her tears fell like rain.

No one has ever cried like this because of me. Even though I was the one who was kidnapped, Concubine Zhuang seemed to suffer more than me.I paused, awkwardly trying to wipe her tears, but when she found out my intentions, she smiled at me, "Mother and concubine is fine, Congxi, you go take a bath first, your father will come later, don't you Come out and sleep on your own."

Sure enough, the emperor came here not long after. I did not go out as Concubine Zhuang Guifei said, so I also heard the sound of the two of them arguing.

"Did Your Majesty forget how the concubine gave birth to Congxi in the first place? The concubine was in pain for a day and a night, and passed out several times. It was not easy for Congxi to be born, but because he was stupid, not to mention the master in the palace, the slaves would not be able to bear it." Laughing at Congxi secretly. Now that Congxi has finally improved, His Majesty is willing to let Congxi be a bait? What if Congxi died at the hands of those northerners? Has Your Majesty thought about it?"

"Miao'er, don't be so angry, I didn't want Congxi to take risks, he's from the north..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, he was interrupted by Concubine Zhuang.

"Does Your Majesty really know nothing about it? The palace is heavily guarded, how can Congxi be taken out so easily? In order to wipe out all the spies and secret agents of the northerners in the capital, Your Majesty can take Congxi to take risks. The concubine sees that there is no way to do it these days." After that, Your Majesty might as well put our mother and son into limbo now, no, punish them to Enci Temple, eat fast and chant Buddha, and spend this life. What's the use of courtiers and concubines? You can't even protect your majesty's children, and your majesty can't protect you. Don't feel sorry for our children!"

"Miao'er, don't be impulsive, calm down."

"The concubine can't calm down. Does Your Majesty know what it was like when Cong Xi came back? He was so frightened that he finally fell asleep and was still calling Father to save me in his dream." Concubine Zhuang cried gradually, followed by the man's low voice.

"This time I didn't think carefully, and this situation will not happen again in the future. Miao'er, don't be angry, I'll go see Congxi now."

The emperor actually changed his name.

Concubine Zhuang's voice was much softer than before, "Don't go, Congxi is asleep, don't disturb him, I haven't forgiven you yet."

"Okay, okay, forgive me later. I will transfer a team of private soldiers to Congxi tomorrow. From now on, that team of private soldiers will only obey Xi's orders and will not listen to orders from others. It's okay."

After a long time, Concubine Zhuang Gui walked into the inner hall and saw me sitting up awake, she wanted to coax me to sleep as usual, but I spoke first.

"Concubine Mu, I can sleep by myself, go and rest."

When she heard the word "mother and concubine", the person who had held the emperor in his hands just now stayed where she was stupid.

Seeing this, I called her again, "Mother Concubine."

Concubine Zhuang Gui finally came back to her senses, she threw herself on me and wept loudly, she didn't look like a noble concubine at all.

I paused, and Fang reached out to hug her back.In my previous life, I seldom received favor from my mother, let alone felt from my mother the heart of loving her son like Concubine Zhuang who sacrificed everything.

I don't want Concubine Zhuang to protect me all the time, I want to protect her too.

I don't know how the emperor dealt with the group of envoys from the northern kingdom, but today I learned from the palace servants that Lin Chongtan was called into the palace and was receiving a reward from the emperor, so I hurried to the imperial study.

Apart from the emperor and Lin Chongtan, the prince is also in the hall.When the emperor saw me, he immediately beckoned me to his side, "Congxi, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

It has been seven days since I was kidnapped that day, I skipped Lin Chongtan who was kneeling on the ground, and went straight to the emperor to salute, "Father, my son is recovering."

"That's good." The emperor patted me on the shoulder, then turned to Lin Chongtan and said, "Lin Chongtan, you have made two consecutive achievements this time. , I want to reward you. I heard the prince said that you are from the Lin family in Gusu, is your grandfather Lin Zuwen?"

"Yes." Lin Zhongtan replied.

"I remember your grandfather. When I was young, your grandfather worked in Beijing. Later, due to his advanced age, he resigned from his official position and moved his family to Gusu." The emperor seemed to be in the past, and he pondered for a long time before saying, "Although you I don’t have any fame, but I’m known to be the country and share my worries. How about this, because you passed the imperial examination this year, I won’t reward you, but reward your Lin family. The Lin family is also regarded as loyal and good throughout the generations, so I will make your father a Jiangyin Marquis. It is not hereditary, but your father will be honored for the rest of his life."

The prince on the side smiled, "Lin Chongtan, why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness?"

Lin Chongtan bowed his head and saluted, "Chongtan thanked the lord for his kindness, Your Majesty's forgiveness and love for the people, Chongtan is so grateful, I would like to swear allegiance to Your Majesty, and do my best for the Bei Dynasty."

This kind of reward is usually sent to the place by the former imperial eunuch to issue an edict to the recipient.When I saw Lin Chongtan kneeling to thank you, I had an idea in my heart.

"Father, thanks to Lin Chongtan who rescued my son this time, this son can come back safely. Why don't you leave it to him to confer the title on his father? My son has never left the capital, and I also want to visit Gusu." The show of mountains and rivers."
