Everlasting prosperity

In the city of Taiyuan, Gao'an King's City——

In the winter of the third year of Yingtian, the people of Gao'an sent away the emperor Yu Linmuqing. According to folklore, the emperor went to meet his beloved.But only Yu Linyuan knew the twists and turns.

"A Yuan, he is my husband after all, how could I really poison him?" Qu Shi covered her heart, knelt on the ground, looked up at the tall man in front of her and said sadly.

Yu Linyuan looked down at this woman, and snorted coldly, "You can chase and kill an unborn child for your own selfish desires, or you can put me in front of you to resist thousands of arrows for your own sake, what else do you have for yourself? Is it impossible?"

"No! You are wrong! I did all this for you! As a woman in the harem, how could I not expect my prince to ascend the throne one day and look down on the world!" Qu cried loudly with tears in her eyes.

"Then controlled by you and General Qu to be a puppet emperor?" Yu Linyuan flicked his sleeves and turned around not wanting to see her disgusting face.

"Ayuan! How can you miss me like that! You are my son, and the whole Qu family belongs to you! How can you think like that!" Qu said heartbrokenly, patting the ground anxiously.

"Mine? Qu Changtian holds 80% of the military power in Gao'an, [-] troops, and [-] elite soldiers. How do you want me to feel at ease! Besides, I have an elder brother of the Qu family, don't you? Who knows what you want to embrace me as?" Emperor, or that elder brother?" Yu Linyuan responded with a sharp tone.

Hearing this, Qu Shi finally became paralyzed, full of sincerity, but was misunderstood like this, after all, she has been estranged from Ah Yuan in the past 20 years, no matter how hard she puts her heart into him, what she gets in exchange will only be endless suspicion and vigilance .

"Ayuan..." Qushi covered her heart, murmured and cried.

Yu Linyuan turned around and looked at Qu's appearance, sneered, then squatted down, and said, "What I want has always been the whole world, not a world divided by the Qu family."

Qu slowly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, she felt that this person was so strange, A Yuan, who was as gentle as jade, seemed to be standing behind him like a ghost, terrifying and frightening.

She took a deep breath, and there was no love in her eyes.

"Forget it, I admit it."

In the winter of Gao'an Yingtian's third year, the noble concubine Qu's attempt to poison the emperor failed, so she gave a white silk, and her maidservant poisoned the emperor, and asked to beheaded after spring.

From beginning to end, this decree did not mention Rong Chizi a single word.

He wanted to protect him, even if he wanted to deceive the whole world, he still wanted to hide the truth of the matter.This is not only his selfishness, but also because he does not have the courage to bear the eternal crime of "killing the king and killing his father".

After the emperor passed away, Gao An changed his reign name to Shuntiannian.

The beginning of the first year of Shuntian is the beginning of the approaching new year.

One month later, the people seem to have forgotten the pain of the national mourning, and the family is happy again, carrying lanterns to enjoy the flowers on the street, setting off firecrackers, dancing lions and tigers, drinking spirits with fish and meat, talking and laughing.

Since that day, Yu Linyuan locked Rong Chizi in the Mu Mansion, and he was not allowed to step out of the mansion.

"I put all the blame on Qu's body, so you don't have to bear the crime." He said.

Are you able to do this for yourself?I am the one who killed your father.

In the cold night of late winter, on the outskirts of Taiyuan City, in front of a lonely tombstone, a thin man in Tsing Yi sat drunkenly.

He was leaning against the tombstone, holding a jug in his right hand, and another jug ​​on his left and right.He kept drinking with his head raised, he wanted to get himself drunk, he wanted to get drunk.

"Mom, tell me, what should I do?"

"I promised you that I will definitely let him fall into the abyss and end up alone, but... I am now..."

"Now, I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to watch him become a human being. I have already killed his father, and made him turn against his mother and concubine, and made him execute his own mother and concubine with his own hands."

"I regret it now, I regret my mother, what should I do? What should I do?"

As he spoke, Rong Chizi picked up the jug and took a few sips. When he found the jug was empty, he threw it out with all his might, and tore off the cork of the jug he was holding in his left hand, and threw it aside. , picked it up and poured it hard.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Rong Chizi, who was choked by the strong alcohol, coughed violently, his eyes became more sour, and the tears that flowed out were not known to be sad tears, or those stimulated by the alcohol.

"Mom, I miss you."

As he spoke, Rong Chizi stretched out his hand to climb up the tombstone, leaned his head against the wall of the tombstone, and cried softly.

In the dark and cold night, other people's family is happy, and it's cold in front of someone's grave.

Yu Linyuan walked into the Mu Mansion, and what he heard was the news of Mu Qi's escape, and when he was about to turn around to look for him, he saw him stumbling over with a jug in hand.

And Rong Chizi didn't expect that Yu Linyuan, who was supposed to be celebrating the New Year in the royal palace, would actually run to his cold wooden mansion.

"Where have you been?" Yu Linyuan held him back and asked worriedly.

Rong Chizi looked up at him, his head was dazed. The person in front of him seemed to be divided into two. He waved his hand and found that there were still two shadows. He shook his head and squinted his eyes trying to see clearly.

"Who are you?" He asked softly, looking drunk as if about to fall down.

Yu Linyuan looked at the drunk in front of him, bent over and carried him on his shoulders, then turned and walked into Mufu.

But Rong Chizi intuitively felt that the world was spinning again, and he subconsciously grabbed Yu Linyuan's shoulders, but he was holding on to the flagon tightly, and he refused to let go no matter what.

When he felt stable, he picked up the jug again and took a sip with his head raised.

Yu Linyuan only felt the clamminess behind him, and realized that the drunk on his shoulder had started to drink again. He felt a little annoyed, grabbed his leg, and bumped it upwards. Then he felt a chill at the back of his head for a moment, and a stream of water came out of the back of his neck. from top to bottom.

Damn!

He quickened his pace, rushed into the room, threw Rong Chizi on the bed, and reached out to grab the wine in his hand.

"What are you doing!" Rong Chizi yelled loudly, hugging the jug tightly.

"Let go!" Yu Linyuan said angrily, holding on to the jug.

But Rong Chizi didn't feel his anger at all, he still held onto the flagon relentlessly, seeing that the hand hadn't been released yet, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite on it.

In an instant, Yu Linyuan was in pain, and quickly withdrew his hand, only to see a deep bloody teeth mark on the back of his hand.

Enraged, Yu Linyuan raised his hand and slapped Rong Chizi to the side.

But when he saw Rong Chizi lying on his side, still holding on to the flagon in his hand, he raised his hand in shock, with a trace of regret in his heart, he had never hit this person.

"Hahahaha!" Rong Chizi suddenly laughed maniacally.

Immediately, he sat up slowly, raised the jug, and threw it to one place.In an instant, the jug shattered, causing the tiles to fly everywhere.

Yu Linyuan was startled, and quickly squatted down, carefully placing his trembling hands on Rong Chizi's shoulders.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to hit you, I'm sorry." Yu Linyuan said cautiously, his tone full of guilt and distress.

He stretched out his hand to gently caress the place where Shangrong Chizi was hit, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Rong Chizi stretched out his hand to open Yu Linyuan's hand, turned his head to one side, and said wearily, "I'm tired and want to rest, my lord, please."

As he said that, he took off his shoes and socks, closed his clothes, got into the quilt, and fell asleep.

Yu Linyuan looked at the person in front of him, frowned, shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and gently put down the bedside curtain, turned around and glanced at the mess on the ground, took a basin from one place, bent down resignedly, Pick up one piece.

In fact, he knew where Rong Chizi had gone. He saw Rong Chizi sitting slumped in front of a tombstone, crying while drinking wine.He also knew why Rong Chizi was abnormal today, he even knew that Rong Chizi was escaping, escaping from a difficult choice, escaping from his heart.

Why not himself?

Yu Linyuan looked back at the curtain, and seemed to be able to see Rong Chizi staring at the ceiling with red eyes through the curtain.

He came here to avenge his mother.

That's why, in the past four years, he has been so alienated from himself, no matter how close he is, he still looks tepid and cold.

Always keep your distance.

Yu Linyuan left Mufu, walked alone on the busy city street, looked at the children around him who were laughing and running around, he thought, if he saved the woman by himself, now, that person should be with his mother Beside, welcome the new year with laughter.

But I couldn't save myself.

In the city of Taiyuan, Lantern City Street, alone, fell into the bustling.

Yu Linyuan has traveled a long way. He has never walked into the palace alone, and he has never felt desolate and lonely like today.

It turned out that it was so uncomfortable to be hated by a person, but I actually hurt him again.

He should not forgive himself.

Yu Linyuan, who returned to the inner palace, stretched out his hand to open the notes that had not been sent back, hoping to use the notes to get rid of the pain in his heart.Suddenly, "Mu Qi has doubts, I hope the prince is prepared", which caught his attention.

Yu Linyuan frowned, why didn't he want to think about him, but he was everywhere?Yu Linyuan closed the folder, stretched out his hand to pick up a teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.Take a deep breath and let yourself calm down.

He pondered for a moment, then opened the notebook again.He thought of the young man he met at the back door of the palace many years ago. He remembered that young man's name was Rong Chizi. Because of those stubborn eyes, they went straight to the bottom of his heart, and he has never forgotten them until today.

Rong Chizi, Rong Chizi.

Mu Qi said that he came here to seek revenge for his mother, so it must be Rong Chizi.That was the case, no wonder he was so familiar when I saw him that day.

Yu Linyuan looked down at Zhezi, and became thoughtful.If Mu Qi is really Rong Chizi, with his talent, the only person who can rival him in this world is the minister of Jiuzhao Academy, and this person is Rong Chizi.

Could it be the same person?

As he thought about it, his heart tightened. Why did he enter Gao'an?Can it be explained by just a sentence of seeking revenge for the mother?The official of Jiuzhao, who concealed the fact that he became an official in Gao'an, was not for Jiuzhao, but to avenge his relatives many years ago?

Mu Qi, no, I should call you Rong Chizi.

In your heart, what is it for?Is it true that there was never me?

On this day, Yu Linyuan came to the door again, looked for Rong Chizi, and pulled into the carriage without any explanation.

Along the way, Rong Chizi was about to speak, but he saw Yu Linyuan's expression was indifferent, he didn't want to say anything at all, he was puzzled and flustered, he didn't know what this person was thinking.

Firstly, for the sake of himself, he blamed Qu's all the crimes, and secondly, he was extremely indifferent to him, without any intention of blaming him.Now, what are you going to do?

The carriage staggered to the outskirts of Taiyuan.

Yu Linyuan pulled him off the carriage, and when Rong Chizi saw the surrounding scene, his heart paused, full of panic.He knew, he finally knew.

Rong Chizi stopped, Yu Linyuan felt a force in his hand holding him, and then looked back at him.

"What's wrong?" Yu Linyuan asked suspiciously.

"What did you bring me here for?" Rong Chizi asked back, staring into his eyes.

Hearing this, Yu Linyuan understood, and replied softly, "You just come with me."

Then he pulled him away and continued to walk deep into the woods.

The two walked to a tombstone, Rong Chizi fixed his eyes, widened his eyes, looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, quickened his breathing, walked quickly to the tombstone, stretched out his hand to touch it, and looked back with a look of seeking answers.

And Yu Linyuan hooked the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, waved his clothes, and knelt down straight on his knees.

"Auntie, I am here to apologize. It was my youth and ignorance that caused you to die in the cold winter, causing you to be separated from the pond, and unable to enjoy the family relationship to the fullest. It is all my fault."

As he said that, Yu Linyuan bent down, put his hands on the ground, and knocked his forehead straight on the ground.

Seeing this, Rong Chizi hurried over to pull him up, but Yu Linyuan knelt on the ground motionless as if determined.

"What are you doing! I don't need you like this. Get up!" Rong Chizi dragged Yu Linyuan and cursed loudly.

"Auntie! I made a solemn oath here today. If I become a burden in the future, I will be alone for the rest of my life, and I will not die well!" Yu Linyuan raised his hand, facing the tombstone, and solemnly swore.

When Rong Chizi heard the words, he looked up at the sky and said after a long time, "Why bother."

Yu Linyuan stood up, looked at him, and said softly, "So, can you feel better in your heart?"

"Yu Linyuan, from now on, I will never be alienated from you again." Rong Chizi looked at Yu Linyuan and said softly.

Hearing Rong Chizi's words, Yu Linyuan finally showed a smile, nodded slightly, his eyes were full of joy.

In the midwinter deep forest, in this bone-chilling cold season, there seems to be a trickle of warmth that permeates the air and penetrates the hearts of the people.

At this time, Rong Chizi felt that his heart had finally fallen to the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief, and let go of his shoulders.And Yu Linyuan also felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

After four years, they finally stopped hesitating and hesitating.

Returning to Rong Chizi in the Mu Mansion, he glanced at the words on the gate of the mansion, and suddenly felt extremely ridiculous, he shook his head, and stepped in.

at night--

The night was cold and the dew was heavy, and Rong Chizi had soaked in hot water early, closing his eyes and recalling the past.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized something and opened his eyes.

What he gave Qu's was Jiuzhao's unique soul-absorbing Gu. He remembered that this soul-absorbing Gu was drilled and bred by Emperor Jiuzhao Zong Zhengyuan himself. It was used to control his subordinates, and it would not kill people at all.

At that time, he also hesitated for a long time, and finally took the soul-stealing Gu instead of the one-shot killing heart-stealing Gu, but why, Yu Linmuqing was dead?

According to the description, the symptoms of this Dementor Gu are also quite different from those of Yu Linmuqing.

Intoxicated, poisoned for ten days, the poison can be controlled with words on the day of the poison, all internal force senses are closed, and the panic is like a walking dead.But why did Yu Linmuqing actually have a headache?In the end, he died of exhaustion?

No, who changed the medicine, or took another medicine?

He remembered Yu Linyuan's decree "The imperial concubine Qu's attempt to poison the emperor failed, so she gave a white silk, and her maidservant poisoned the emperor, and she will be executed after the spring", Yu Linyuan told him about Qu's crime, but what happened to this maidservant? What's going on?

Could it be that he took the place of someone else's sin?

Who is to blame?Qu's took the blame for her own crimes, so who did this servant girl hide?

Rong Chizi was even more puzzled, and he stood up from the water quickly, stretched out his hands to dry himself carelessly, and even picked up the clothes hanging on the screen.

"Come on, prepare your horse."

High Security Dungeon——

"Master Mu!" The jailer called out respectfully.

Rong Chizi didn't respond, and walked anxiously into the dungeon, followed the jailer, and trotted all the way to a cell.

"What's going on!" Rong Chizi shouted angrily.

"Little... the little one doesn't know. The jailers in the cell are all home for the New Year today, how can they have the time to watch them!" The jailer wept, wondering why.

"Chinese New Year? How do I remember, but every festival day, there must be someone staying in the cell, who is it today, tell me!" Rong Chizi pointed at the jailer, squinted his eyes, and asked sternly.

"My lord! The family gave birth to a child today, and there is no time to change shifts, so no one will stay in the prison." The jailer was so frightened that he bent down quickly, not daring to look up at him, and replied tremblingly.

"You guys are so brave, how dare you leave your post without permission!" Rong Chizi scolded angrily.

The jailer quickly shook his head and replied in horror, "My lord, please spare me! This prisoner committed the crime of beheading, and the younger ones didn't care because she was about to die. Unexpectedly, she committed suicide! My lord, please let me go around the little ones."

Hearing this, Rong Chizi took a deep breath, and then sighed, "Forget it, she was a dying person, so if she committed suicide like this, it should be regarded as suicide in fear of crime."

"Thank you sir for your kindness! Thank you sir for your kindness!" The jailer nodded repeatedly, his face full of gratitude.

But Rong Chizi once again cast a layer of doubt in his heart.

Yu Linyuan, this matter must not have anything to do with you.
