Going to Chenghuang Temple in person is a difficult and dangerous decision, but Yan Sui had to do it.

Ever since Ah Shu was caught by Pei Liangfang as his apprentice, Yan Sui turned his attention to this child. After repeated investigations, Yan Sui found out that his father was the one who played Zeng Zi on the Kao Festival. The Town God's Temple is the place where most of them settle down.

But King Zhou, who was hidden in the dark, left a note saying that Yan Ji, the son of King Zheng, was in the Temple of the City God.

Could Ah Shu's father be Yan Ji?

Is Yan Ji really still alive?

Yan Sui thought back to what he saw on Kao Festival. The man's right arm was completely gone, and his left hand was very smooth with a knife. It probably took a long time for him to lose his arm.Wearing a mask, only revealing a pair of piercing eyes, it makes people look cold... In short, it is far from the cousin of Guangfeng Jiyue in Yan Sui's memory.

Yan Sui didn't want to believe that Yan Ji would become like this, and he didn't dare to think deeply about the reason why he fell to this point - two years ago, during the chaos of power officials, the lineage of King Zheng suffered the most.And the power of eunuchs is also because Gaozong ignored the government and believed in eunuchs. Although it was indirect, it was related in the end.

The descendants of the Yan family were unhappy, but all generations were considered brothers and sisters.Only King Wu was left in the previous generation, and he didn't ask about everything.Yan Sui is Gaozong's second son, the youngest in Yan's family, ranking seventh.The eldest is Prince Wu, who is nearly 40 years old.Yan Xu ranked fourth, ten years older than Yan Sui.Yan Ji ranked fifth, also seven or eight years older than Yan Sui.

These elder brothers, no matter their own brothers or cousins, are much older than Yan Sui, so they are close to each other as cousins, excluding Yan Sui.Yan Sui grew up in the cold palace until he was 15 years old, and he was always alone when he went out for two years. He always respected and alienated them beyond his peers.

They were not close in the first place, but now seeing each other in this situation, it was hard for Yan Sui not to be nervous, and he couldn't help imagining all kinds of bad situations in his heart.

—Would Yan Ji regard himself as an enemy?Could it be that Yan Ji deliberately set a trap?Could Yan Ji have died of illness?

……

Some unknowns were entangled in his heart, Yan Sui's face became more and more ugly, Xu Jiashi supported his waist: "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Yan Sui and him looked at each other, feeling instantly relieved.

The vicinity of the Town God's Temple has been cleaned up in advance, and there are no people around, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

But when Yan Sui entered the Town God's Temple, he found that there was no one in the temple.

Xu Jiashi looked at A Shu who was following Pei Liangfang with vigilant eyes: "Where is your father?"

"You are not good people! You are not here to treat my father at all!" A Shu ran out, and was stopped by Pei Liangfang and hugged him back.

"Speak up, you're scaring my apprentice." Pei Liangfang cast a reproachful glance at Xu Jiashi, circled Ashu, who was struggling like a live fish, and said, "Why are you running? Don't want your father to recover from his illness? You don't believe it Others, don’t you believe me, your master?”

A Shu gritted his teeth and stared: "You are not a good person either, you and that—"

Before Ah Shu could say thank you, Pei Liangfang covered his mouth and warned: "Adults are infected with water sores, and if they are not treated in time, they will die. If we are bad people, we can just leave your father to fend for himself. Anyway, he hides If you don’t dare to see anyone, you won’t last long. Why bother to look for it? Besides, didn’t you say that your father is a hero who stands up to heaven and earth, so you’re still afraid of seeing us?”

A Shu's eyes were red, tears were streaming down his face, his small chest heaved violently, but he couldn't say anything.

"Stop messing around and tell me where your father is. You are my apprentice, and I will protect you and take care of your father. Why don't you worry?"

As soon as Pei Liangfang let go of his hand, Ah Shu bit his wrist hard: "If you can't cure my father, I will bite you to death!"

"Just rely on you little bastard." Pei Liangfang pinched Ashu's front tooth with his backhand, shook it and took out a baby tooth, "It's not a big or small thing that deceives the master and destroys the ancestors. The teeth will never grow back and will remain open forever."

The master and the apprentice fought for a while, A Shu stopped running, but stared at Yan Sui's belly again.He clenched his fists, trying to reach out.

Because of Xu Jiashi's obstruction, Ah Shu couldn't get close at all, so he could only guide the way honestly.

Climb up the altar of the City God Temple, go around behind the enshrined statue of the City God, lift up several layers of straw mats, revealing a big hole half the height of a person, turn around and raise your head provocatively: "Here, my father is right below, do you dare to come in? "

Ah Shu was a child, he didn't need to shrink his body much to get into the hole, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.Pei Liangfang was afraid that the apprentice he got would disappear, so he hurried to chase after him, bent his body and almost crawled into the hole.

The sourness in Yan Sui's heart became even stronger. If Ah Shu's father was really his fifth cousin, Yan Ji, then he was the son of King Zheng who was once well-loved and pampered. He was one of the rare handsome men in the royal family. Living in the Burrow, living in the Temple of the City God, hiding in a cave when sick, why is he living so hard?

Since he survived the chaos, why didn't he return to the royal family?Why should you deliberately fight against yourself?

Yan Sui had a faint feeling in his heart that the chaos back then was not simple——

The elder brother tied him and Xu Jiashi together with a bald head, and told his nephew not to inherit the throne.Of the three brothers, King Wu, he was the only one who was alone, and stayed away from the throne.

Could it be that the incumbent is cursed?What was the secret behind the chaos back then?

Yan Sui looked at Xu Jiashi.

"I want to go down and have a look."

"Does Your Majesty want to go down and have a look?"

Almost in unison.

Sure enough, Xu Jiashi understood him.The worries and fears in Yan Sui's heart disappeared in an instant. With Xu Jiashi around, what else was there to be afraid of?

Guessing that the father of Ashu is Yan Ji, Yan Sui not only wanted to meet, but also wanted to see what kind of life his cousin was living, so he came to the Town God's Temple in person and stood at the entrance of the cave, not to let him come up but to go down by himself .

——Yan Sui has always maintained a respect for his brothers that surpasses that of his peers.The alienation that was once cowardly has also been transformed into the courage to get to the bottom of it by the gradually accumulated confidence.

A large part of this confidence comes from Xu Jiashi.Yan Sui's forehead touched Xu Jiashi's shoulder, revealing his embarrassment and asking for help: "But I can't bend down."

Xu Jiashi looked at the entrance of the cave, then looked around, and kissed Yan Sui's forehead: "Leave it to me."

"Your Majesty, cover your ears." Xu Jiashi picked up the stone drum at the entrance of the Town God's Temple and smashed it vigorously, widening the entrance of the hole a few times.

With a resounding sound, Yan Sui looked at the originally narrow and low entrance, but now he could walk in only by lowering his head, feeling unprecedented ease and satisfaction in his heart.

There are so many complicated and mundane things in this world that it is difficult to understand, but no matter how difficult or difficult it is, Xu Jiashi will handle it together with him.Yan Sui is no longer alone, even when there is nowhere to go, Xu Jiashi will make a way for him.For all his dangerous moves, Xu Jiashi will be the first to care about him but support him in a way to ensure his safety, never block the way, but pave the way, and then walk hand in hand.

Yan Sui raised his clothes and was about to board the altar, Xu Jiashi directly hugged him horizontally: "Your Majesty, you can't bend down, I will carry you down."

Double entendre.

Yan Sui was pregnant and couldn't bend down, so Xu Jiashi took care of all the daily tasks such as dressing and taking off shoes, including entering the cave at this time.At the same time, he is also Yan Sui's most powerful backing.With him here, Yan Sui doesn't have to worry about what will happen when he meets Yan Ji. No matter what the outcome is, he has Xu Jiashi's support. He is an emperor who doesn't have to bow to anyone.

The hole behind the statue is the entrance to the underground dark room, it was dark when he first entered, Yan Sui couldn't see anything, but he wasn't afraid.Xu Jiashi walked steadily, and Yan Sui felt as if he was walking on flat ground.After walking a few feet away, it was brighter than before. Yan Sui looked back and saw that the ground was covered with gravel, bricks and tiles, and was in ruins.

Then, Xu Jiashi stopped, and Yan Sui turned his gaze——

A few steps away, the master and the apprentice gathered around a simple wooden bed, Pei Liangfang stood and Ashu sat, and they all looked at the bed intently.And the one-armed man Yan Sui saw lying on the bed was the one-armed man who was motionless at this moment, whether he was unconscious or asleep.

When Pei Liangfang heard the movement, he turned his head and glanced: "It's really you. If His Majesty wants to take a walk on the moon one day, you can find a way out."

Xu Jiashi put down Yan Sui, supported his waist to stand firm: "Stop talking nonsense, how is this man's condition?"

"It's true that I was infected with water sores, and I was very sick, but how can anyone die on my hands? I was unconscious when I came in, but I was forced to feed the medicine, and my life is not in danger. If you want to ask questions, I can Wake him up now."

Yan Sui said: "Let him rest for a while first."

The room is dark and damp, filled with a stale and stagnant atmosphere, it is not a place for people to live at all.

Yan Sui couldn't see the man's face clearly from a few steps away, and when he was about to approach, A Shu suddenly stopped in front of him, looking up at Yan Sui with hostility: "You are not allowed to hurt my father!"

Yan Sui looked at the child in front of him, his facial features did not resemble Yan Ji's, but his wife's.

Yan Sui thought of Yan Ji's brother who was pregnant with his wife—because of his mother, Yan Sui always paid special attention to pregnant women—at the time of the chaos, she was about to give birth at the same month as herself, and she was almost ready to give birth That kid, just a little bit...but still a dead body and two lives.

If that child survived, he would be about the same age as Ah Tu by now.

Because he missed his wife and child, Yan Ji adopted this child from many orphans, right?

"Is your name A Shu?" Yan Sui reached out to touch the child's face, but was avoided.

The child pursed his lips and did not answer, but still stared at Yan Sui with hatred.

Pei Liangfang nodded to Yan Sui, and answered for his apprentice.Then he looked back and forth between this and Ashu on the bed, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, no matter what his last name was before, it will be Pei from now on."

Yan Sui nodded to show his understanding, then withdrew his hand, and said, "Ashu, Shu is connected with 秫. It is a grain, and it originally means a road. It is a good name...and your generation should be prefaced. Ashu, before In Huawang Temple, it was your father who asked you to touch my belly, right?"

Ashu still didn't answer.

"Your father can manage so many children, but he only takes you as his son. He must love you very much. Didn't he tell you about his relationship with me? Or, did he tell you his original identity? If I You guessed right, your father's surname should be Yan, he was the son of King Zheng of the Chen Kingdom, and you should be my nephew. I didn't know your father was still alive before, and made you father and son suffer, and I won't do it again. You He is a filial child. He listens to his father and is worried about his condition. I am also worried about my cousin, so I asked your master, the best doctor in the world, to treat him. I will not hurt him. I am here to help him. Little nephew , trust me, okay?"

Ashu was still unmoved.

Yan Sui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and held A Shu's hand against his abdomen: "You have always wanted to touch my stomach, so please do so now. Have you touched it? I have told you my secret Can you trust me now?"

The moment she crossed the fox fur and her palms touched her swollen abdomen, Ah Shu felt the surge of life.

The child kicked him in the palm, like a high-five through the belly.

Ashu froze in place.

All along, he would do whatever his father asked him to do, without thinking about the reasons.That day I touched Yan Sui's belly in women's clothing, but I didn't see Yan Sui's face clearly. I tried to touch it at Huawang Temple that day but failed.Ah Shu didn't know that it was the same person twice, and he didn't understand why his father asked him to do this.

Now I finally understand.

——This good-looking and gentle person is the emperor of Chen Guo, and he is a man, but he is really pregnant.

When Ah Shu was astonished, Yan Sui walked around him and came to the bed, and finally saw the man's face clearly——

But Yan Sui couldn't tell if this was Yan Ji.

The burn scars on the man's face covered most of his face. There was an abnormal bulge on the left brow bone, but there were no eyebrows, and a distorted scar crawled on the bridge of his nose.The uneven face was hideous and terrifying, and the tight lips were still good, but a layer of skin was formed due to thirst, and they moved unconsciously.

The drowsy man mumbled, "Water..."

Ah Shu hurriedly went to feed the water, Yan Sui brought the broken bowl by the bed first: "Let me come."

Ashu looked at Yan Sui vigilantly, and opened his arms to prevent him from coming forward.Pei Liangfang directly picked up the child: "I'll take the child out first."

A Shu struggled, and Pei Liangfang patted his ass: "Be honest. If you want to harm your father, you have to wait now? This is your cousin! I have touched my stomach, so what are you afraid of? Who would harm someone with a child? "

"My father said that there is no one in his family! It is his family who caused my father to be like this now! Scoundrels! You are all scoundrels!"

Pei Liangfang went out with the child in his arms, Ah Shu's voice gradually faded away, but Yan Sui couldn't calm down, he put the broken bowl to the man's mouth, he didn't know if it was because his hands were trembling or because the man's lips were tightly pressed, he would say hello anyway Do not enter the water.

Seeing that the water was almost running out, it didn't quench his thirst.

Xu Jiashi stood behind Yan Sui, gently pressing his shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, don't be afraid." Xu Jiashi took the bowl and put it aside, "Just moisten your lips. Your Majesty, everything will be clear when he wakes up. We just need to guard him here."

"Why is this...why..."

Yan Sui's tense mood suddenly burst like a flood. In fact, when he heard the voice, he was sure that this person was Yan Ji. He had been disfigured, but his clear voice was still a bit like it was back then, no matter how hoarse it was.

Yan Sui turned around and hugged Xu Jiashi and cried: "Brother Ji back then...how did he become like this now? Did he hate my family? It was because the father trusted the eunuchs that it caused chaos and ruined King Zheng's family. He hates me , so he organized the disappearance of orphans and spread rumors that I was born ominous...he hates me..."

"No, no, the chaos of the past has nothing to do with His Majesty." Xu Jiashi patted Yan Sui's back to comfort him, "Your Majesty, I will take care of the big things for you. Don't cry like this, it will hurt you. Don't cry." Cry, otherwise I will regret holding you down."

Yan Sui breathed out slowly, and at the same time heard an extremely weak but mocking voice: "One generation is not as good as one generation... Now the Emperor Chen is the one who only gets pregnant and cries in a man's arms..."

Yan Sui turned his head: "Brother Yan Ji!"
