Prince of Heaven

Rong Shi glanced at the person under his knife, his gaze stayed for a moment where the blade touched the skin, and then lowered his eyes to close the knife.

For a moment, he wanted to use force to keep Jing Huai by his side forever.

"Sir, you are joking. Mingyu is not talented, so I need more advice from you, sir."

Jing Huai laughed and said, "If His Highness calls you 'Bucai', what are those scholars who were stopped by His Highness?"

Rong Shi didn't answer, and turned to invite Jing Huai in.The two walked to the study side by side.

Walking on the road, when Jing Huai squinted at Rong, he was silent for a while and then suddenly asked: "How did Your Highness win against that old Mr. Xu Sanyou?"

Rong Shi paused, and then replied in a low voice: "I didn't win."

Jing Huai stopped and looked at him curiously.

Rong Shi also stopped, turned slightly to look at Jing Huai, opened his mouth, and said four words stiffly: "I didn't lose either."

Jing Huai looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Rong Shi turned his head to look at the peach trees on both sides of the road in the yard, but his eyes didn't fall on the trees.

"However, he is so much older than me, even if there is no competition, he still loses."

It seems that he cares about winning or losing.Jing Huai thought.

"You're right. Isn't he just taking advantage of an old man compared with a young man?" Jing Huai said with a smile, "And he didn't take advantage of the exchange, so it can be seen that His Highness is only at his best."

What's going on with this coaxing tone...

Rong Shi nodded solemnly with a wooden face: "Sir, it's absurd."

"Pfft." Jing Huai couldn't help laughing out loud, but suddenly reacted and stopped immediately.As soon as he raised his eyes, as expected, he met Rong Shi's ugly face.

Jing Huai quickly stopped laughing, coughed lightly and said, "I'm laughing at that old man."

"..."

"Losing to a kid."

"..."

"It's too embarrassing."

Rong Shi's complexion didn't improve much.

Jing Huai: "... Well, I admit, I just think His Highness is too cute, so I laughed."

"..." Rong Shi tightened his grip on the scabbard.It was the first time he heard someone describe him as cute.

cute?

"Let's go, don't waste time outside." Rong Shi said in a stiff tone.

Jing Huai followed Rong Shi two steps behind this time, his gaze passed over his reddened ear tips, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The emperor did not expect that the operation of changing the Taifu would make the

The reputation of the Prince of the Eastern Palace is very loud.

For a while, the city of Shangjing became very curious about this prince who didn't have a strong sense of existence.

Many rumors about the prince also began to circulate, which were considered normal at first, but then became more and more outrageous and polarized.

There are good rumors, such as someone saying that His Highness the Crown Prince was deposed, and was later instructed by the God of Suzaku; there are bad rumors, such as the Master of the State Teacher once gave His Royal Highness a verdict, saying that he is a lone star of heavenly evil, if not for his fate It couldn't be suppressed at all, Jiang's being wronged and exterminated is the best proof.

"you

Let's think about it, since the crown prince was restored, Liguo has been going downhill all the time, first there was a severe drought, and then there were defeats in battles. "In the dark night, a few drunkards were drinking and chatting in a private room, talking unscrupulously.

"Yes, yes, and I heard that His Majesty killed several ministers in a row. Could it be that he was affected by the prince's evil spirit?"

A person next to him said in fear: "This is the day I will perish and I will leave the country!"

Soon, when those who supported the crown prince had no real point of support to come up with, the theory of the lone star of the evil spirit gradually became believed by everyone, and even more extreme people pointed the source of the disaster in Liguo to the East Palace.

In Duke Jin'an's mansion, Jing Huai frowned and thought.

Unexpectedly, this event, which is enough to be called a good talk, turned out to be like this in the end.

Jing Huai called the soldiers of Jin'an Duke's Mansion to suppress the rumors and track down the conspiracy behind the rumors.

After giving the order, Jing Huai put on his cloak and prepared to go to the East Palace.

At this juncture, if everyone whispers some exaggerated remarks in Rong Shi's ears... Thinking of this, Jing Huai's face immediately sank.

"Where are you going?"

A middle-aged man's thick voice appeared, full of anger.

Jing Huai stopped and bowed his hands to the visitor: "Father."

It turned out that this man was Jing Huai's father, the Duke of Jin'an.He was sitting in a wheelchair, and a black-clothed guard behind him silently pushed the wheelchair.

"I'm going to the East Palace." Jing Huai explained to him.

"I won't let you go." Duke Jin An said forcefully.

Jing Huai frowned: "Why?"

"The East Palace is right and wrong, don't you know how many people are staring at you now? Why do you want to join in the fun?" Duke Jin An said coldly.

Jing Huai tried his best to slow down his tone, and said, "Father, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is my old friend and a student I have taught for five years. I will not just watch him being pulled

down. "

"You have to protect him?"

Jing Huai said firmly, "Yes, I want to protect him."

Duke Jin An snorted coldly: "Including disobeying the father's order and destroying the family?"

Jing Huai bowed his head: "Don't dare. It's just that the father and the son don't understand, so why do you explain this?"

"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Duke Jin An yelled angrily, "Prince of the East Palace, Lone Star of Tiansha, if you help him, do you want to make the Jing family into the next Jiang family?"

Jing Huai raised his head abruptly, and fixedly looked at Duke Jin An.Jin An Gong did not back down.

For a long time, Jing Huai remained silent.

Rumors have already spread to Duke Jin'an's mansion, and even Duke Jin'an has believed Rong Shi's evil, so the palace... probably has reached Rong Shi's ears.

Duke An of Jin saw that Jing Huai did not speak for a long time, so he thought that Jing Huai was hesitating.The expression on his face was slightly relaxed, and his voice was no longer as harsh as before.

"For so many years, I have never cared about anything about you. You have always supported you as a father. You have followed that Wei Man for five years without saying a word. Have I ever stopped you? No, the queen mother died of illness, you Sad and sad, your mother and I understand you. If you want to leave Shangjing, I will let you go, even if your mother and I have only one son. Later, if you want to go to the battlefield, we will let you go. If you want to participate in politics, we will let you go , you just stood up for the crown prince openly, paved the way for the crown prince wholeheartedly, and dragged Jin'an Duke's mansion into the court's turmoil, did we say something?"

Jing Huai also softened his tone: "Parents love their son, and son understands. Son will definitely not let the Jing family have trouble."

"You sound good!" Jin An said angrily, "How beautiful was the Jiang family? The elders of the three dynasties and the empress all came from the Jiang family. Didn't the Hulala building collapse overnight? Who are you, you What is the ability to fight against the destiny?"

Jing Huai didn't speak.

He was thinking, how vicious and clever this rumor is.

17 years ago, the national teacher admonished the emperor, saying that Rong Shi was the lone star of Tiansha, who would bring disaster and bad luck to the people around him and the country, and tried to prevent the emperor from appointing a prince.

But at that time, the emperor loved the queen so much that he ignored the advice and insisted on appointing the prince, and then suppressed the words of the national teacher. Only a small number of people in the palace knew the previous verdict of the national teacher.Of course, the national teacher has also become the former national teacher, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

Now this remark has been turned up and used by people with a heart.

It became a rumor that the unfavorable situation of the four kingdoms' disputes and leaving the country alone was tied to the restoration of the prince.

This is to pull Rongshi down the abyss in one fell swoop.

Now even Jin Angong believed in such words.

Perhaps, believe it, is the normal development.

There is a saying that goes, "It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have."Human nature is like this, to isolate others and suppress opponents, as long as you can eliminate all things that may affect your own interests, how can you care whether he is innocent, let alone this "interest" is a person's life and the rise and fall of his family.

Although he disagreed, Jing Huai understood what his father said.He didn't want to argue with his father either, so he retreated to his room.

Back in the room, Jing Huai obviously felt that there were a lot of people around his room, they were sent by his father to monitor him, but fortunately, Zhao Buli and Zhao Buqi had already been sent out by him first.

Jing Huai paced to the window, looking in the direction of the East Palace with deep eyes.

At night, Rongshi drank the medicine and was about to sleep.Then inexplicably realized that something was wrong with everyone in the East Palace.

On closer inspection, they seemed to be shaking.

Rong Shi frowned, pointed to an eunuch casually and asked, "What happened in the East Palace recently?"

The eunuch fell to his knees with a plop, sweating profusely: "Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

He kept repeating this sentence, as if Rong Shi really wanted his life.

Rong Shi's gaze swept over the palace people one by one, and everyone he saw couldn't help but tremble.

"Get the hell out of here."

After saying a word, all the palace people breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated.

Standing in the empty palace, the long and narrow eyes are slightly raised, beautiful and cold.

About a quarter of an hour later, an old eunuch hurried into the palace.

"Your Highness." The old eunuch said, "This old slave has something important to report."

Standing in the middle of the palace, Rong Shihuan turned his head slightly when he heard the words, a strand of black hair slipped from his shoulders, and a frosty word came out from his thin lips: "Say."

What the old eunuch told Rong Shi was exactly this rumor about Rong Shi in Shangjing.

At the beginning, only a small number of people knew about the judgment of the national teacher, but now it has spread to the entire capital of Shangjing.

Coupled with the deliberate guidance of caring people, most people have already regarded Rong Shi as a real evil star.

Rong Shi listened expressionlessly, then suddenly asked: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

The wrinkles on the old eunuch's face were as mean as they were five years ago, and there was a cunning gleam in his eyes all the time.

The old eunuch fell to his knees: "This old slave is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness."

"Why?" Rong Shi asked him this question for the first time.

"Because His Highness is the one chosen by the gods."

God?

Rong Shi slightly shook his mind.This country believes in gods, but the gods...

Maybe he has fallen into the mortal world and is powerless.

After a while, Rong Shi spoke again, and the cold voice sounded like a void in the empty palace.

"Back off, I'll be alone for a while."
