Prince of Heaven

Among the princes studying in Hanzhang Hall, the first prince is timid and the fourth prince is young.

The third prince used the method taught by Chunxiang to threaten and lure them, so that they would not tell what happened that day.

At first, the third prince was worried that Jing Huai knew the truth, that the little eunuch he took away was actually the deposed prince.But three days passed and nothing happened.The third prince heaved a sigh of relief, and no longer took this matter to heart.

Twenty years ago, there was a popular saying in the mainland: "With one person in Yunshan, the four kingdoms of the world can be safe."

Yunshan is Jinghuai's master, Mr. Wei, Wei Man.

Probably because of being instructed and exhorted, the three princes were very serious in class, showing off their best whenever they had the opportunity, often arguing over who would answer a random question from the master.

At this time, the eldest prince seemed not to be timid anymore, and because he was older, he still had a slight advantage over the third prince in class.

The third prince held a grudge and insulted him even more in private.He didn't say anything, just endured it blindly.

Because the child he brought home was seriously ill, Jing Huai didn't have the extra thought to discipline these princes for the time being, and he left the palace directly after class as usual.

Back in the mansion, he entered Rongshi's courtyard.

Before Rongshi woke up, Yin Zhu dozed off on the table, while Hua Wendeng prepared the prescription beside him.

But as soon as Jing Huai entered the door, Yin Zhu woke up.

He went forward and said, "Master!"

When Jing Huai glanced at the sleeping Rong, he raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Be quiet."

Yin Zhu hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jing Huai walked to Hua Wendeng's side, looked at what he was doing, and said in a low voice.

Hua Wendeng raised his head when he heard the words, stared at Jing Huai for a long while, then laughed, and joked, "Are you calling him one of your own?"

Jing Huai didn't answer, but followed suit with a smile, as a default.Then he said to Yinzhu: "Go and rest, I don't need you here for the time being."

Yinzhu: "Hey." After answering, Yinzhu retreated.

"How is the child?" After a while, Jing Huai asked Hua Wendeng.

Hua Wendeng stopped what he was doing, shook his head and said, "He is young, and this time he has injured his roots again, and he seems to have a congenital deficiency. The situation is even worse than I imagined."

After a pause, Hua Wendeng sighed, and continued: "In the future...he may be a sick child who will collapse when the wind blows."

Jing Huai frowned, and after a long silence, asked, "Is there no way to recover?"

"It is possible, but it needs to be done slowly. If it is taken care of well, it will be better in three to five years. If it is not good, it will be ten or eight years, and it is not impossible to die young." Hua Wendeng said.

Jing Huai tapped his fingers on the table silently, and said, "Although I know I can't rush, it's really too slow. Is there no other way?"

Hua Wendeng said: "If you really want immediate results, Suzaku must appear."

There was silence all around.

"Tell him to have nothing to do, and go to the Suzaku Temple to worship more." After a while, Hua Wendeng smiled, and continued, "You know, I'm serious."

Jing Huai didn't speak, walked to the bed at the other end of the room, raised the gauze curtain and took a closer look at the sleeping boy.

The young man was not sleeping well, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he was as fragile as a puff of smoke, as if the wind would blow away and disappear into the world without a trace.

Jing Huai felt pitiful, and then tucked the corner of the quilt for him, put down the gauze curtain, turned to Hua Wendeng and said, "I will take good care of him."

Hua Wendeng suddenly asked again: "Didn't you learn divination from your master? Why don't you do a divination for him? If he is destined to have such a calamity, you don't need to work hard to do this useless effort. If he The future is destined to be safe and smooth, so you don’t have to worry about it. After all, worrying too much will make you sick, and it’s not the way to live a long life.”

Jing Huai shook his head and said, "Although I know this technique, I usually don't like to use it."

Hua Wendeng was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"I'm afraid that I will be bound by it, and I will rely on it for everything, and become its puppet." Jing Huai said lightly, "Furthermore, what is the destiny, that is a matter of heaven, we humans, we just need to do our best. Even if this child Doomed to die, can I still let him go and watch him die?"

Hua Wendeng stared at him quietly for a while, then said with a smile, "In this regard, you are quite different from Master."

"Everyone has their own way of life. As long as you are satisfied with it."

They were silent for a while.

After preparing the new prescription, Hua Wendeng said: "I will not interfere with your way of life, but the new year is approaching, and the imperial family of Li Kingdom must hold a ceremony to worship the gods. Don't forget the task that Master gave you."

Jing Huai said: "Brother, don't worry."

In the afternoon of the next day, Rong Shi woke up, Yin Zhu remembered the young master's order, and immediately asked the little maid to take care of Rong Shi, and then ran to report to the young master.

Young master said to Yin Zhu before going out today: "Come to me as soon as he wakes up, lest he worry too much, afraid of being abandoned by others, and hurt his body."

Yinzhu found the young master in the royal horse farm.

The young master is participating in a "God Envoy Selection" competition.

"Selection of God Envoys" is a tradition in Liguo, and the ultimate goal is to select four God Envoys for the year-end ritual ceremony.

During the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods, the four envoys will each ride a tall steed to escort the "Son of God" all the way from the city to the outside of the city, and finally go to a high altar to worship the gods.

The envoy needs to be good at riding and archery and martial arts, and must be young, have a distinguished family background, and be handsome.

According to the tradition, at the end of each year, Liguo will hold a "God Envoy Selection", and the four winners will become the god envoys of that year's god-worship ceremony.

The name of the god of Liguo is Suzaku.

The God of Suzaku is the belief of Li Kingdom.In Li Country, everyone is proud to serve the God of Suzaku.

God's envoy is a symbol of glory, so all the candidates who participated in the selection took the selection 12 very seriously, and they all tried their best to get one of the four god's envoys.

Jing Huai has another purpose.

Since the emperor of Liguo gave part of the right to select the envoy to the people, after the candidates for the envoy competed, they voted for an envoy to represent the public opinion.

This made the people's enthusiasm soar, and also made the selection day of the God's Envoy the second busiest day in the year of leaving the country, second only to the New Year's Eve carnival.

Yinzhu was infected by the lively atmosphere and became excited.He squeezed into the crowd and saw from a distance that it was his young master who was shooting arrows.After hesitating for a while, Yin Zhu found a corner with a good viewing angle, planning to take a look at the excitement first, and then report to the young master about the young eunuch waking up after the competition.

Since Jing Huai returned to Shangjing, he became famous for his writing.Whether it's his teacher's school or the battle at Huixian Hall, all of them showed his talent to rule the world.

At this moment, he was standing in the center of the field with his back straight and his eyes as sharp as a falcon.

Young and handsome, also famous all over the world.

Jing Huai, who has not yet been crowned, easily attracted everyone's attention.

When he drew the three-hundred-jin bow on the spot, everyone present was shocked.

Yinzhu excitedly applauded loudly.

Amidst the sound of gasping, Jing Huai's arrow pierced through the bull's-eye a hundred paces away.

Yin Zhu was stunned at the moment, forgetting the purpose of this trip for a while.When he remembered, he thought to himself, just delay for a while, it doesn't matter, it won't be too late to report after the young master finishes his business.

Rong Shi sat up, drank a bowl of medicine, and coughed twice.

The little maid hurriedly handed him a veil, he took the veil and thanked him in a low voice, the little maid said fearfully, "No, no thanks."

"What's your name?" Rong Shi asked.

"My name is Yinlan."

"Yi... so does my name also start with the word 'yin'? What's my name?"

"I...I don't know." The little maid shook her head and said, "My lord hasn't said anything yet."

Rong Shi held the handkerchief and coughed a few more times, then his pale face became sickly red.

He looked in the direction of the door and stared quietly for a while.The door was closed tightly and there was no movement.

"Go and open the door for me, please?" Rong Shi said to the little maid.

The little maid grabbed her own clothes and said weakly: "No, it can't be done, Godly Doctor Hua has ordered you not to blow the air..."

Rongshi closed his eyes, opened them slowly, and begged: "My good sister, please help me. The room is airtight, and I'm so stuffy right now."

"But...but..."

Rong Shi frowned slightly, and called sadly: "Sister!"

The little maid's face flushed red.She had never seen such a good-looking and sick young master, so she always looked at him secretly.She thought, he must know, that's why she begged her softly.

She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't bear to disappoint him, and said, "I... I'll give you a session."

Rong Shi immediately stretched his eyebrows, bent his eyes and smiled, his sickly face became more popular.He said: "So, thank you sister."

The little maid hurriedly turned around, walked to the door, hesitated for a while, and opened the door.

The scenery outside the door is reflected in the house like a painting, and I look out of the door from time to time: the blue-white sky, the snow that has been swept away to the two sides of the road, the old bare trees... and the sea of ​​clouds hidden in the distance in the mountains.

He seemed to be fascinated by it, the cold wind blew in and hit his face, but he didn't feel it.

In Rongshi's memory, his world is a high gray wall when he looks up, brown soil when he looks down, and when he closes his eyes, in the depths of his mind far away, there is the soft and firm embrace of A-Niang and A-Dai.

After A Niang died, he had been waiting for A Daddy.He didn't believe that Dad didn't want him anymore.But he waited for a long time, but his father didn't come to pick him up, so he hugged him and said to him: "I have wronged Erlang."

"Sister, look, it's the sky, the trees, the snow, and the road." Rong Shi pointed at the door and said in a daze.

The little maid was taken aback, not knowing what Rong Shi meant, so she answered the words casually: "Yeah, the young master has been in a coma for a long time, and I don't know how many times it has snowed in the capital city. Looking at this day, I guess it will be late again." Next snow. Young master, do you... like snow?"

Rong Shi thought about it and said, "I don't like it."

"do not like?"

The little maid didn't understand why he was so happy to see it since he didn't like it.

"That's right. I don't like it." Rong Shi coughed twice again, his head became a little dizzy, and he still said with a smile, "But this is the first time I've seen the scenery outside the palace, and I'm very happy."

The little maid was stunned for a while: "Really?"

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard, Rong Shi and the little maid looked towards the direction of the sound at the same time.From where the voice came from, a young son and a servant came quickly.

The young master was wearing black boots, and he left a series of footprints in the snow in the blink of an eye. The footprints were big and deep, as if showing the master's violent temper.

Jing Huai frowned and strode into the room, closed the door behind his back, and shouted at the little maid: "Who asked you to open the door?"

The little maid's shoulders trembled from the yelling, and she opened her lips slightly to explain, but she met the Master's extremely stern face.The young master has always been gentle towards his own people, he has never spoken so harshly before, the little maid's eyes got wet, she lowered her head and refused to speak.

Jing Huai frowned even tighter: "Are you playing with me?"

The little maid bit her lip, tears were hanging on her eyes, and she couldn't shed them.

Yin Zhu pulled her sleeve and urged in a low voice: "What are you doing? Admit your mistake."

"It's none of my sister's business." Rong Shi supported his body and explained, "I felt stuffy in the room and wanted to get some air, so I begged my sister to open the door for me. Son, you...don't be angry, I... …I'm not sick."

But when Rong Shi finished speaking, he wanted to cough. He was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he tried his best to hold back, until his eyes were red.

Jing Huai was silent for a moment, then turned to Yinzhu and said, "You take Yinlan down to receive the punishment."

Yinzhu sighed, and said to Yinlan: "Come with me."

Yinlan finally shed a tear, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Rong Shi's heart tightened: "Sister..."

At this time, Yinzhu has brought Yinlan down and walked towards the provincial department.Yinzhu said on the road: "You, the son punished you because you ignored the master's order. How did the master tell you to take good care of the patient, not to let him catch a cold from the wind, and not to eat and drink medicine? How can you let him I beg you, just let him go as he pleases?"

Yinlan's eyes were red, she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Don't cry, I will accompany you to receive the punishment."

Yinlan raised her head, widened her eyes and said, "Why?"

Yin Zhu turned his head away, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, didn't I go to report to the young master, saying that the young eunuch is awake. But I saw that the young master was doing something important, so I didn't mention it. Then the young master just said, what I have to do The matter is to report the truth, which one is important and which one is not is the son's own business. We did not do our duty well, so we have to be punished, understand?"

Yinlan was young, not much older than Rong, she still half understood after listening to it, she only knew that someone was going to accompany her to receive the punishment, she was relieved a lot, she smiled, but she didn't shed tears.

Yin Zhu snorted, and said again: "Besides, that little eunuch is so capricious, if not for his illness, he would definitely be punished."

"That won't work!" Yin Lan said in shock, "He's sick! Doctor Hua said he's a porcelain doll now, we have to coax him out of here, lest he accidentally break it and die!"

Yin Zhu patted her on the head and said: "Little girl, are you stupid? You are so wise, these young masters you are talking about don't understand?"

"Don't worry, he has a gold medal for avoiding death, so don't worry about it." Yinzhu said sourly.
