how to be safe

The sky is like a cover, and it is clear for a moment. Yuanxiu swims in the innocent world in the south amidst the hunger, cold and filth. Where the dragon girl becomes a Buddha, you can see the thousand-leaf lotus, the thousand-jewellery pagoda, the 33-day rainy day mandala flower, the glass as the ground, and the rose For clothes, precious trees whirled, and sandalwood was full of fragrance.Yuan Xiu was lingering like in love, and saw a male lion with a mane of millions of miles of mane all over his body, and his mouth was like a basin of blood.

He woke up in shock, and when he woke up, he was dizzy, and then the pain swept over his whole body.He didn't suffer from flesh and blood in the sky prison, but how could he endure the coldness and filth when he was pampered and spoiled since childhood? After the rebel army entered the city, the defenses also escaped. There was no supply of water and rice for ten and a half months. In the severe winter, there was still only Covered in single clothes, the last trace of consciousness left him not long ago, he closed his eyes, thinking that he would never wake up again.

He has been a prince since he was born, and this troubled world has always asked him for everything. Yuan Xiuru even naively thought that he was really in the Buddha's situation, and one day he would leave the countless glory in front of him to taste the suffering in the world.He doesn't blame the sky, he doesn't favor others, and he never even yelled out "wrong" in the face of being framed.The wonderful method is perfect, everything has its own cause and effect, so why bother ordinary people.He also doesn't care whether he can realize enlightenment or not. There are world-honored ones in the universe, and the Bodhi mantras have been preached in the world, so that's enough.

Everyone once thought that one day Yuan Xiuru would ascend to the supreme position, embrace the world with compassion, and bring blessings to all beings in the dust.Yuanzhengguan can't be an exception to admit that even though Yuan Xiuru is a little clumsy in government affairs, the prince who has lived in the East Palace for nearly 20 years still seems to be the most ideal monarch in this Lianzuo Buddha Kingdom.

If the country is safe.

In the first 20 years of Yuan Xiuru's life, he never heard the sound of fighting. It has always been a distant legend that the flag of Jizhou Huguogong in northern Xinjiang was there, and Huma wandered outside Yinshan Mountain.No one would have thought that the sharp blade in the hands of Duke Protector, which frightened the barbarians, would one day fork towards the heart of the Buddha Kingdom.No one would believe that a group of locust-like thugs would ruin the century-old society of Wumen Zanying.

The hell of Avici appears in the human world.

Years of torment in the dungeon allowed him to escape a massacre, and Yuan Xiuru finally woke up.

He opened his eyes, Liang Yu was so familiar with the curtain in front of him, so familiar that he thought he was just spending a night with Dongfang Su.

Two strangers came in and were overjoyed to see him wake up, "His Royal Highness will go to the inner court to discuss matters, and we will report when he comes back. His Highness will definitely be happy."

"His Royal Highness?" Yuan Xiuru could tell that they were not referring to him, "You mean Ah Fu?"

Gong'e was puzzled and said, "Young Master has been in a coma for so long, it's better to rest for a while, His Highness will come back after speaking."

In a short while, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. The owner of the footsteps was wearing a black robe with a red belt, a golden crown on his head, and two smooth jade rings hanging from his belt.

He sat on the side of the couch, hugged Yuan Xiuru tightly, and was speechless for a long time.Yuan Xiuru felt a burst of moisture on his cheek, and didn't know whose tears it was.

"Should I congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yuan Xiuru didn't know why he uttered such lukewarm words in the ear of the crying man, but he couldn't think of what to say for a while.

Dongfang Su straightened up when he heard the words, and stared at him for a while, "If you say that..." He shook his head violently, "Xiu Ru, you don't know that many things have happened during this time..."

"I know."

"You do not know!"

"I don't know, but I guessed it."

"I thought you were dead... From Jizhou to Shenjing, I thought about killing your murderer every day and night, and then go with you."

"But those are my father and my brother!"

"No, no," Dongfang Su suddenly looked away, and pondered, "Your father was killed by the bandits, and Yuan Xiufu is still absconding..."

"Then... where's the corpse? Is it still there?" Yuan Xiuru felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

"We didn't find his body. It is said that he was buried under the tree in the temple by the old abbot of Anru Temple. His father has promised to invite him out on an auspicious day next year, and he will be buried in the imperial tomb with his aunt."

"I want to save him."

"Not yet." Dongfang Su comforted, "You are still weak, let's take care of it for a while."

"As a son of man, I can't..." Yuan Xiuru almost pleaded, "Can you accompany me?"

Dongfang Su shook his head, he had never refused any request from Yuan Xiuru before, but now he can't, "You still don't want to leave the East Palace."

"You want to lock me up here?"

"Xiu Ru, my father has already ascended the throne, he won't let you..."

"Could he tolerate the former prince still lying in the East Palace bedroom?"

"He doesn't know yet. We got news in Jizhou that both you and your aunt were given to death. Later, Xuan'er told me that you might still be in the sky prison, so I looked for it. I realized that the emperor had the intention of self-reliance, and did not I'm not going to help the Yuan family."

"I'm not greedy for power and position, it's not that I can't bow down to him." Yuan Xiuru smiled wryly.

"But if people in the world know that you are still alive, their hearts will be fluctuated, and there will be troubles again... You don't know that father is a person. He would rather give up his mother, Xuan'er, and Gu'er to get the throne. At that time, he might not have thought about it. Your flesh and blood."

"I've died once, and I have nothing to fear."

"No... I'm afraid!" Dongfang Su suddenly grabbed him tightly, causing his wrists to hurt again when he was freed from the shackles, "I'm so afraid! You can't die, even if it's for me. Without you, I will die." I have lost all hope. When I heard the news of your death, I had nothing but revenge in my heart. The closer I got to Shenjing, the more frightened I was. I was afraid of seeing your dead body, and I was afraid of not being able to see it. I was afraid that I would report it for you. Qiu, I don't know what to think or do, and I'm even more afraid that even if I die at that time, I won't be able to catch up with you on Huangquan Road."

Seeing him like this, Yuan Xiuru bowed his head in silence, and said lightly for a while, "I thought that if I died, you would only say to my grave every year on Qingming, 'Be well and don't read it'."

"I'm sorry..." Dongfang Su gently embraced him on the shoulders, kissing his long hair, "I thought you were crowned and married, and there was only the monarch and the minister without love between you and me. After this, I realized that I am right and wrong." That's impossible."

Yuan Xiuru entered school at the age of eight, and Dongfang Su, who was ten years old, was his accompanying student. The two learned from the strokes of the Liushu that "reach the vastness and refine the subtlety, be extremely brilliant and the way of the mean".Yuan Xiuru was afraid of the dark and the cold, so he often relied on Dongfang Su to accompany him at night.Dongfang Su began to serve as the guard of the Habayashi at the age of 16. On the night of his birthday, the two got drunk together in the East Palace, and when they woke up naked, they hugged each other. Dongfang Su apologized to the prince, but Yuan Xiuru smiled and kissed him.

An affair with a guard is not taboo, but it is still detrimental to the prince's virtue.Although the two have been careful, their relationship has become increasingly unusual in the eyes of others.After Dongfang Su was crowned at the age of 20, she held a wedding ceremony with Xiao's daughter from the Five Schools as scheduled. Yuan Xiuru not only did not come to congratulate her in person, but even did not even prepare a congratulatory gift.But from then on, Yuan Xiuru would not specifically look for him when he was on duty, and Dongfang Su did not dare to go to the East Palace without authorization, until Dongfang Su was transferred to Jizhou soon.

On the morning of Dongfang Su's departure, Yuan Xiuru was reprimanded by Yuanzhengguan for the first time. Not only did he accuse him of humiliating his virtue and acting absurdly, but he also accused the Dongfang family of disrespecting Buddhism and not practicing sorcery.This affair was made a big fuss by the Huan family, who falsely accused Yuan Xiu of being like a teacher and not changing it. It was discovered that the prince was using witchcraft in the East Palace.Yuan Zhengguan was extremely angry and put the prince under house arrest, while Yuan Xiuru became increasingly desperate in letters of "be safe and don't read", without a word of defense.

Seeing that Yuan Zhengguan still had no intention of deposing the prince, the Huan family took advantage of the military chaos in Qingzhou to concoct evidence of Yuan Xiuru's collusion with Duke Huguo, and said that the drought in Qingzhou was the result of the Eastern way of instructing the people of Danfu to perform sorcery. As a result, Yuanzhengguan finally had to put the prince in prison.Yuan Xiuru, who was afraid of the dark and the cold, waited quietly for the arrival of death in the dark and cold sky prison wearing cold shackles.

What he waited for was Yuan Xiufu.

The new prince came with the imperial decree of demotion and death. He told Yuan Xiuru how much he hated the cowardly and mediocre brother who was the prince from birth, and also told him how much he loved his elder brother.Yuan Xiufu poured the poisonous wine on the ground, "Brother, you can only rely on me now. When everything is over, I will take you out the day I board the Great Treasure."

He turned around and left, Yuan Xiuru, who had been reticent since Dongfang Su left, called out to him, "Ah Fu, if you can keep Dongfang Xuan and Dongfang Valley safe, I will also be grateful to you at the spring."

"Even now, you still can't forget what curse Dongfang Su cast on you!" Yuan Xiufu ignored it and left.

Dongfang Su must be like this, so why not Yuan Xiuru?

"Father ordered me to go to Xuzhou to quell the rebellion. The shortest period is three months, and the longest period is half a year." Dongfang Su pressed his generous and warm palm on the cold fingertips of the man in his arms, "Xiu Ru, promise me, don't leave during this period." Dong Gong, don’t meet outsiders either. Please... wait for me to come back... just wait a little longer, and when I succeed to the throne, we won’t be afraid of anything."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Four months later, what was waiting for Dongfang Su to triumph over the rebellion was the empty East Palace.
