After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Eunuch Rong stood where he was.

The young man's eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts, making people feel that no means can hide it from him, but if you look carefully...it is as quiet and cold as a lonely tomb, which makes people shudder.

Eunuch Rong opened his lips, but suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Di squinted his eyes in the spring light, and said again: "Eunuch Rong, thank you very much."

Eunuch Rong shook his head in panic, and moved back quietly.

The young man looked at him, suppressed the anger on his body, and even said in a gentle tone, "Eunuch Rong, don't be afraid, I'm alone, and I have to rely on you for one thing."

"Wh...what's the matter?"

He clenched his fingers subconsciously, feeling a little guarded against Xiao Di.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Bring me scissors and some bandages."

Eunuch Rong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he quickly nodded and said, "I...I want to serve His Highness lunch, and I'll bring it to you later."

Xiao Di looked at Eunuch Rong's back, his gaze gradually condensed——

He is now dragging a broken leg, carrying his identity as a traitor to live in the prince's mansion, it must be difficult for him to walk, and Eunuch Rong is the only person he knows and can use.

but--

Although this person seems to have no plans, but in the future, he must find a chance to catch this person...

The door was pushed open with a bang, and a provocative voice interrupted Xiao Di's thoughts: "You are Xiao Di?"

Xiao Di looked over with a calm face.

A few teenagers in expensive clothes raised their chins and looked at him with contempt.

Pang Zhang, who was the leader, was a little apprehensive at first, but when he saw Xiao Di's miserable appearance, he immediately felt relieved.

Yan Ming asked him to give this person a little trouble, and Pang Zhang thought that this person would be some kind of great role.

Looking at it now, heh, it was just a cripple who was younger than him.

Pang Zhang looked Xiao Di up and down a few times, raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly: "Come on, explain the rules to the newcomer!"

The people following Pang Zhang immediately stepped forward and said, "I tell you, the person in front of you is a close minister of His Highness! If you want to be our Highness's slave in the future, then he will be your master!"

"According to the rules, you have to kowtow to him first, understand?!"

Xiao Di didn't say anything, he fixed his gaze on Pang Zhang's face for a moment.

It was this person he saw at Yan's house.

The young man was very quiet, and his dark eyes reminded people of little beasts in the dark night. Pang Zhang looked at this young man who was four or five years younger than himself, and suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, and immediately said coldly: "What are you looking at! You are lame. Why are you pretending to be deaf!?"

"And—" Pang Zhang wanted to force Xiao Di to kneel before he came, but he didn't dare to say anything at this moment, and said impromptuly: "And—these items, can a son of a traitor still use them? Give them all to me. Move out!"

Xiao Di's eyes flashed, and the hostility that had just risen in his eyes quickly subsided.

He was keenly aware of the sound of footsteps in the yard.

Xie Qingci found out about Zhao Jieyu, wandered aimlessly with his thoughts on his mind, and unknowingly came to Xiao Di's courtyard.

Before he walked in, he heard Pang Zhang's sharp and mean voice: "This tea set is a rare thing, how can I let you, a little traitor, here?"

"This is our Highness's favorite snack, and this is not something you can eat!"

……

All the people in the room were arrogant and aggressive, commanding the servants to move things. After a while, the objects in Xiao Di's room were almost emptied.

Xiao Di was silent all the time, watching the things in the house being moved out one by one with cold eyes, without any intention of getting up to stop him.

A beam of light happened to be reflected on his eyelashes, and his flickering black pupils were plated with a layer of gold, appearing quiet and indifferent.

Xie Qingci was a little surprised, from Xiao Di's profile, he could see a bit of resignation.

Also...he is just the son of a traitor at this time, and he has a leg injury. He came here for the first time, and he will suffer a disadvantage if he confronts these servants head-on.

"Aren't you Zhao Jieyu's good son?" An arrogant voice came from the window: "Zhao Jieyu belongs to Concubine An, if you don't go to them to beg for food, why come to our Highness!"

"Zhao Jieyu is your adoptive mother, she..."

Xiao Di raised his eyes, just in time to see a silhouette outside the window lattice, the small tear mole at the corner of his eye was glowing red, like a begonia flower stamen full of dew.

It's Xie Qing's speech.

Xiao Di had a thought, could it be that these people were sent by him to humiliate him?

"I have nothing to do with her for a long time." Xiao Di smiled coldly in his heart, and finally his tone was turbulent: "She is no longer my mother, you don't need to mention her anymore!"

"Really?" Someone immediately dragged out the voice: "Then she embroidered the purse on your waist, why don't you let us play with it?"

After saying that, he went to Xiao Di's waist.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes, and coldly flashed the person's outstretched hand, as if a little at a loss, he tightly protected the inconspicuous purse.

Xie Qingci stood outside the window and paused.

Xiao Di's voice was cold, but he could hear the protection beyond the absolute...

So care about the purse, everything is obvious.

The boy is only 15 years old, and his adoptive mother, who is full of care and dependence, is trying her best to figure out how to get rid of him without showing any trace...

Xie Qingci felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart, unwilling to stay any longer, turned around and walked away.

Pang Zhang and the others didn't really want to grab Xiao Di's purse, they came to provoke Xie Qingci while he was resting. Seeing the young man's expression was nervous, he made a few words of mockery and humiliation, and they left together.

……

Finally, only Xiao Di was left in the house.

He threw the purse in his hand on the table with disdain, wiped his fingers in disgust, and finally raised his eyes slightly.

Underneath the dark eyes was an indifference that had nothing to do with him.

What foster mother's true love?What is full of dependence?He never believed it, never expected it.

And the subsequent facts proved that no one would treat him sincerely.

But this does not prevent him from making an appearance of trust and dependence, so as to achieve his purpose——

Look, I only used a purse, and my brother was really fooled.

Xie Qingci must feel at this moment that he is a stupid and pitiful person who was deceived by his adoptive mother and still wholeheartedly defending his old master.

How good, this kind of self is the easiest way for Xie Qingci to let go of his vigilance and bully at will——

His only surprise was that Xie Qingci not only did not enter the door to add fuel to the fire, but also left directly.

Probably... I haven't figured out how to use this to bully him, so I should go back and use my brain.

Xiao Di curled his lips coldly, revealing a mocking smile.

In the evening, Eunuch Rong finally freed his hand. He agreed to Xiao Di's search for the object, and hurriedly prepared to go to the backyard to deliver it to him.

Eunuch Rong pushed open the door with a squeak, but his body stiffened involuntarily. The candles in the room were very dark, and only a faint shadow could be seen on the bed. Thinking of the gloomy appearance of that young man, Eunuch Rong's hand holding the scissors couldn't help trembling.

Xiao Di's hoarse voice came from the darkness: "If you bring something, just put it on the table."

The voice sounded a little weak.

Eunuch Rong swallowed, and put the tray on the table. There was still a bowl of medicine on the table. His Highness probably ordered Doctor Hu to cook it for Xiao Di...

The boy stretched out his knuckle-boned hand, picked up the scissors on the tray, and slowly burned them on the candle.

Before Eunuch Rong could figure it out, he had already seen the boy struggling to roll up his quilt trousers, revealing his bruised calf, which had not been treated properly for a few days, and the flesh and flesh at the wound was rolled ferociously, which was particularly bloody and terrifying.

Xiao Di frowned in disgust, as if cutting off something useless and troublesome, he picked up the scissors and cut off the outermost carrion.

Eunuch Rong's breathing tightened immediately, his legs softened and he almost knelt down.

That... that's the flesh that grows on your body, how can you just use scissors to cut it like you would treat dead branches and rotten leaves?

The candles in the house were flickering, and the night wind was filled with a strong smell of blood. Eunuch Rong felt as if he was in a nightmare. He stood there motionless, but heard the young man's hoarse voice coming again——

"... Bring the candle lamp closer."

Knowing that he couldn't see clearly, Eunuch Rong held up the candle with trembling hands, and boldly walked to the bedside.

The candlelight was reflected in the young man's dark and uncertain eyes. He lowered his head, calmly and slowly cut off the inflamed carrion one by one, his demeanor and movements were as decisive and indifferent as a gecko's tail being severed.

The blade cut off the minced meat, and the blood continued to faint, but the boy never even had a penis.

Eunuch Rong saw the thin sweat on the young man's forehead, and realized that he was also in pain. He couldn't help but said, "The medicine on the table is for pain relief, you...why would you drink it first?"

Eunuch Rong couldn't figure it out, His Highness had already brought him painkillers, why didn't he drink it?

He looked so painful that he wanted to reach out and take the medicine to drink for himself...

Xiao Di frowned.

He knew that Xie Qingci would probably only bully him in every possible way, and would not really take his life. There is Mafeisan in this medicine, which can relieve temporary pain, but it will make his thoughts fall into numbness and dullness.

Lurking in the dark and losing your thoughts for a moment is also fatal.

He would rather grit his teeth and endure the pain than let himself sink.

Xiao Di didn't speak any more, and continued to treat the wound. Eunuch Rong's hands trembled, and he couldn't help looking away.

Xiao Di raised his head and looked at Eunuch Rong with dark eyes. Eunuch Rong thought that the boy was asking for help.

Before he lifted his foot, Xiao Di didn't make a fluctuating voice——

"The candles are too bright, I can't see clearly."

Eunuch Rong: "..."

It was obviously Xiao Di who was injured, but his voice was much more steady than his own...

About half an hour later, Xiao Di finally healed his injury. He lay down with a pale face, and his voice was slightly astringent: "Eunuch Rong, thank you, please come again in three days—"

"Ah... come again?!"

Eunuch Rong moved his lips, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He just wiped the sweat off his forehead, sighed, put away the scissors and left silently.

The shadow of the candle flickered slightly, Xiao Di never touched the bowl of medicine on the table from the beginning to the end.

Xie Qingci lay on the bed, tossed and turned for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.

His thoughts could not help drifting to the man in the courtyard.

Maybe it was because she was too shocked after knowing that Jieyu wanted to kill Xiao Di, or maybe it was because Xiao Di devoted himself to protecting his adoptive mother at this time, and his clumsy and sincere appearance was too rare...

In short, Xie Qingci had no choice but to remain calm.

In his previous impressions, Xiao Di had always been tough and indifferent, looking invulnerable and daunting.

That's why Xie Qingci thought it over and over again, and cautiously called for Imperial Physician Hu to act, fearing that something might go wrong.

But Xiao Di, who has just turned 15 years old, is not yet a tyrant who will kill and make decisions in the future.

He also has weaknesses.

This is an opportunity that happens to be love.

If he hadn't discovered that the candied fruit was poisonous in time, Xiao Di would have taken it unprepared...

At this time, Xiao Di will definitely not know that the person he wants to protect with all his heart is planning his life right now...

Xie Qingci felt like a lump in his throat for a moment, and his chest trembled slightly.

Outside, Xie Qingci happened to see ebony candied fruit next to the candle lamp, which looked very attractive, and asked in a daze, "Where did this come from?"

Chunliu said: "The palace just sent them today, saying that spring and summer are the best time to pickle plums, so I sent them for His Highness to taste."

Xie Qingci was silent for a while, then suddenly pushed the plate and said: "Go, send this plate to Xiao Di."

Chunliu: "?"

But seeing his majesty's preoccupied face, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he had to go out in the middle of the night with the plate of candied fruit.

Chunliu thought while walking, it must be that his master saw so many people bullying his former younger brother, so he felt kindness again.

Xiao Di frowned tightly, and was about to lie down and fall asleep when he heard the door being pushed open with a creak——

A handsome young man walked in with a small flower plate.

It's the people around Xie Qingci.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes to look at the plate, which contained plump candied fruit.

Sweet plum flavor.

Chunliu put the plate on the table, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Di and said, "Did you see this candied fruit? Our Highness specially brought it to you."

Xiao Di took a look, and his voice was slightly cold and wary: "Give it to me?"

"Yes! It's a blessing from your previous life that you can serve our Highness!" Chunliu hummed endlessly: "Our Highness is the most kind-hearted. I heard that you like to eat candied fruit, and seeing that you have been injured recently, I will give this to you. You bring it, and say that you won’t suffer when you drink the medicine in the future.”

Good hearted, blessed, not bitter...

The door was not closed properly, and the spring night wind howled in, and the warmth in the room quickly disappeared.

Xiao Di slowly pursed his lips, and said in a calm tone: "Then thank you, Your Highness."

Really cherish words like gold! ?To put it bluntly, there are not many candied fruit for him!

Chunliu couldn't help feeling wronged for her master from the bottom of her heart: "It's a pity that our Highness still thinks about him in the middle of the night, but this person doesn't even have a good face."

Isn't it the white-eyed wolf?

After Chunliu left, Xiao Di picked up a candied fruit, and the corners of his mouth showed a cold arc.

These candied fruit should be those given by Zhao Jieyu, right?

Sure enough... this thing was delivered to him before it was too early or too late.

The candied fruit in his hand exudes a burst of sweet plum smell, it is obviously something that seals the throat when it sees blood, but it is so greedy.

It seems that Xie Qingci is really stupid, knowing that the candied fruit is poisonous, and still sent him——

It would not be of much benefit to him if he died at this time, if he was alive, he would be able to bully him for a few days in vain.

Maybe the little Highness has something new, so he is too lazy to torture and humiliate him.

Xiao Di no longer thought about Xie Qingci's motives, but raised the corners of his lips in a leisurely manner, and took the silver needle playfully...

The silver needle was slowly inserted into the candied fruit, but Xiao Di couldn't help but startled.

The silver needles are as clean as ever, without any discoloration.

The author has something to say: Qing Ci: I didn’t expect it hehehe
