Prince of Heaven

Rong Shi's hand that took the cup paused for a moment.

He lowered his head to drink tea, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "En."

The weather was cold, and his limbs were always cold. It took a long time to warm up in Jinghuai's room.

When his mother was pregnant with him, because of accidental movement of the fetal gas, he had been born with deficiencies and had been taking medicine since he could eat.But in the past, he was a prince, and there was no shortage of famous doctors to fix prescriptions and prepare medicines. His mother took care of him carefully for several years. Seeing that each year seemed like a year, the Jiang family rebelled.

The Jiang brothers and sisters Jiang Feng and Jiang Heng cooperated internally and externally to plot chaos in the world, but unfortunately they fell short in the end because the Jiang family had a traitor, Qi Zhou.

Qi Zhou was the adopted son of the Jiang family, but he secretly reported on the Jiang family on the eve of the conspiracy, resulting in the extermination of the nine clans of the Jiang family. He was the only one who survived, became a high-ranking official, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

The Jiang family died, and Jiang Heng committed suicide in the palace. The prince with half of Jiang's blood was abandoned by the emperor, and the position of prince was abolished, and he was imprisoned in the cold palace.

After entering the cold palace, Rong Shi's health went from bad to worse. In addition to the inevitable lack of food and clothing, there were palace people who praised the high and trampled on the low to make things worse, and someone secretly poisoned him.

The man in black was right, weak and innocent, he couldn't survive in the deep palace, especially the cold palace.

Rong Shi's black and slender eyelashes curled lightly, and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.

A glass of water, no matter how slowly you drink it, you will finish it.

Holding the cup in his hand, Rong Shi raised his head from the large and luxurious clothes, looked at Jing Huai and said:

"what do you wish to ask?"

Jing Huai has been observing Rong Shi's expression from the beginning to the end, but Rong Shi just kept his head down, unable to see clearly, when he raised his head, Jing Huai saw his eyes, and saw clearly the expression in his eyes. look.

"Have we met before?" Jing Huai asked.

Rong Shi was slightly taken aback, this was a bit beyond his expectation.He originally thought that Jing Huai would ask him the three questions he asked the man in black as soon as he opened his mouth.

He didn't speak right away.

Jing Huai took the cup in his hand, poured him another cup of hot tea, and said, "Don't drink it, just warm your hands, or you may wake up frequently during sleep."

Rongshi raised his eyelids slightly, and the dim light of the lamp reflected in his eyes, he suddenly showed a feeling of bewilderment, and only then did he have the appearance that a child should have.

Jing Huai couldn't help laughing: "Have you seen it? You have a photographic memory, so there should be no doubt about whether you have seen it or not?"

After a long while, Rong Shi replied, "Yes."

Jing Huai raised his eyebrows slightly: "In the palace?"

"Ah."

"What kind of person am I in your eyes then?"

Rong Shi stared at him blankly, searched the past memories in his mind, and finally said: "He is a person with true temperament."

Jing Huai shook his head and said with a smile, "You're not telling the truth."

"..."

Jing Huai's every move is gentle and polite, and he said he was talking, but he is currently the dominant party, neither overbearing nor expressly hinting, as if he was chatting homely, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

Following this atmosphere for a while, I felt relaxed.He pursed his lips, seemingly displeased: "How do you know I'm not telling the truth?"

"I know how to read." Jing Huai leaned slightly, and drew a little closer to Rongshi, and said in a leisurely tone, "Your eyes tell me that you are not telling the truth."

Rong Shi didn't dodge, just stared back at him, but began to wonder whether his words were true or not.

After a while, Jing Huai laughed softly, and said, "I'm just kidding you. Physiognomy is actually the same as fortune-telling. If you really want to see something mysterious, you need to pay a price. I don't have a price to pay." pay."

Rong Shi listened to him laughing for a long time before realizing that he was being teased, just like those eunuchs and maidservants teasing those cats and dogs, watching them make various strange reactions under the teasing, and then booing and laughing.

"I thought you were really a magic stick." Rong Shi stared at him and said.

Jing Huai laughed, and said slowly: "Basically, it just depends on whether I am willing or not. So, kid, you really didn't tell the truth just now, right?"

Rong Shi's eyelids twitched: "What do you want to hear?"

"truth."

"..."

"It's okay, since we're having a good talk, let's let it go."

Rong Shi looked at him, speechless for a moment.After a while, he said with a stiff tone: "When I saw you... I only thought you were a dude, naughty... not pleasing."

The smile at the corner of Jing Huai's mouth froze, and then he coughed lightly with his fist on his lips, and said, "It seems that this is the truth."

Rong Shi: "..."

Jing Huai glanced at the half-burned candle, and said, "Okay, it's too late, let's sleep first."

Rong Shi followed his line of sight to look over, and then looked at him again.

Is this the end?

Sure enough, Jing Huai didn't intend to ask any more questions, turned around and said to Rong Rong, "You sleep here, I'll go to the small couch outside for the night."

After finishing speaking, Jing Huai took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, turned around the screen and went out, Rong Shi half stretched out his hand, hesitant to speak.

Rong Shi sat blankly by the bed, got out of bed after a while, put the cold cup on the table, and went out.

When Jing Huai saw him, he couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong?"

"I'll sleep here."

"No, you are a child and a sick person. It is not appropriate to fall asleep."

Rong Shi twisted his sleeves and dawdled twice and said: "But...you are the master."

Jing Huai raised an eyebrow slantly, and said, "If that's the case, then you won't listen to me?"

"..."

Rong Shi turned back in silence, turned off the light and went to bed.

He lay on the bed, listening intently to the slightest movement from outside.

After a while, he couldn't hear any movement, only the occasional winter night wind blowing on the window.

He also slowly fell asleep.

"So you didn't ask about his background?" Hua Wendeng was startled.

Early this morning, Jing Huai ordered a few servants to clean up the courtyard where Rong Shi was temporarily staying, and then asked Yin Zhu to come and pick Rong Shi back.Then he went straight to Hua Wendeng to investigate the whereabouts of the man in black last night.

After they traced to the outskirts of Kamikoto, they lost any clues about the man in black.

Jing Huai squatted down in front of a piece of withered and yellow grass, brushed his fingers over the tip of the grass, and replied, "It doesn't make any difference whether you ask or not."

Hua Wendeng and Jing Huai have known each other for six years, and they know Jing Huai best, and immediately understood: "You know who he is."

Jing Huai nodded: "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago, that kind of character and talent are not what ordinary people can have."

"So who is he?" Hua Wendeng was still curious about this.

"It's a little trouble."

Jing Huai pushed aside a piece of grass with his fingers, and there was a trail of dried blood.

"This way."

"Trouble?" Hua Wendeng turned around and walked towards the direction Jing Huai pointed at, "Since it's a trouble, why do you keep him by your side?"

"I've said it because he suits me. There are very few people and things in this world that suit me. I don't mind exchanging it with a little trouble."

"...Won't it affect the task assigned by Master?"

Jing Huai said casually, "No."

In the end, the traces of the man in black were completely cut off. Hua Wendeng said: "Go back, as long as Mingyu is here, the man in black, or their accomplices will come again. Tomorrow is the ceremony of worshiping the gods. focus."

Jing Huai raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and far away, passing through the overlapping mountains, he didn't know where he landed.

Rongshi followed Yinzhu to his residence, passing by many servants on the road, they all performed their own duties and responsibilities, unless necessary, they would not say a word, even if they spoke, they were very softly, not daring at all. Loudly.

After walking for a while, he heard the fierce and sharp voice of a maid, who seemed to be arguing with someone.

He listened for a while, and it was just a trivial matter.It was nothing more than that this fierce maid got up late, missed the time, was taught a lesson by the steward, and was not convinced.

"I didn't have so many rules when I was serving my wife. You are a small courtyard manager, how can you manage me?"

The steward is an elderly woman, an old man from Jin'an Duke's mansion, she does things neatly, and looks like a steady person.Her voice is not loud but she is very good at handling people's seven inches:

"Miss Qiuju doesn't like me here, so she either finds a way to go back to the wife's yard, or simply pack up and go home."

The maid named Qiu Ju turned pale and pale, and the manager glanced at her, and said: "Since you don't want to leave, you have nowhere to go, you can only stay here, then follow the rules here."

Rong Shi and Yin Zhu passed by them.

Yin Zhu let out a muffled laugh and then quickly covered his mouth.When Qiu Ju heard the voice, her face became even more ugly, and she gave them a hard look.

"Haha." Yinzhu couldn't help laughing after turning a corner.

"It's her, the one named Qiu Ju. Before your illness suddenly worsened, Yin Lan went to the madam to ask for the young master, but she stopped her and bullied her to cry."

The scene just now flashed in Rong Shi's mind.

"Later, I was the one who settled her down and brought you the young master!" Yinzhu said triumphantly, "This girl looks like a dog, and she deserves to be sent away by the madam the next day. I heard that she cried After a long time, Madam is kind-hearted, so she couldn't bear to drive her out of the mansion, and only let her go to do chores with Aunt Chang."

Rong Shi walked forward all the way, silent.

After a while, he returned to his yard.

There is only Yinlan in the courtyard, and she is decocting medicine.When Rong Shi walked into the house, the house had already been tidied up, and there was no trace of intrusion. It was even incensed.

After a while, Yinlan came into the room with a bowl of boiled medicine.

"Sister Yinlan, let me come." Rong Shi stepped forward to receive the medicine.

The medicine is thick and black in a bowl, the taste is very pure and fragrant, but it is extremely bitter in the mouth.After drinking Rongshi for many days, I have a deep understanding.

Therefore, the moment Rong Shi took the medicine, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Yinlan smiled and said: "The good medicine is bitter and good for the disease, drink it quickly."

Rong Shi didn't like the bitter taste, but he was not a delicate person either. He raised his head and brought the medicine to his mouth, and drank it clean in one gulp.

Yinlan stretched out her hand as if conjuring, and a candy lay quietly in her palm: "Here, sweet."

Rong Shi was taken aback.

"Eat it quickly, it won't be bitter in your mouth after eating it. I got this from my sister who bought it today. It's very rare."

Rong Shi silently took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

The candy was not good in appearance, it should have been picked out and rewarded to the people below, but the taste was very sweet, which washed away the bitterness in his mouth.He savored it carefully for a moment, then became more silent.

After half an hour.

"Sister Yinlan."

"Ok?"

"You have," Rong Shi looked at her and asked softly, "Is there anyone you want to kill?"

Yinlan didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Rong Shi silently lowered his eyes.

"It's nothing."
