Darkness of Rebirth

"His Royal Highness, how can you be so impulsive?" Prime Minister Song walked to the side, stroked his beard and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "In case the emperor really wants you to go to Jizhou City with the army..."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I understand the father's temperament, how could he let me go to Jizhou with that Dongfangdu?" Dongfang Xi smiled evilly, and if he didn't pretend to be impulsive and stupid, how could he let them down their guard.

"Oh, you..." Prime Minister Song sighed, this prince is his own grandson, and when the prince becomes emperor in the future, their Song clan is even more prosperous.But seeing Dongfang Xi's impulsive appearance at every turn, I'm really worried about his position as the heir apparent.

Just when Prime Minister Song was lamenting and worried, Dongfang Xi suddenly asked, "Grandfather, it seems that father ascended to the throne at the age of 20. I was not born at that time, is that true?" Turning to look at Prime Minister Song .

"Exactly." Prime Minister Song nodded, and asked in bewilderment: "Your Highness, why did you ask this suddenly?" Why did you ask about Emperor Qianwen's ascension to the throne inexplicably?

"It's nothing." Dongfang Xi turned his head, glanced at Zichen Palace, and whispered, "After the new year, I will be twenty." Turning to Prime Minister Song, he said, "Grandpa, I should go back to the East Palace." Mrs. Fu and Taishi should have been waiting to teach him in the East Palace.

After Dongfangdu finished his court, he wanted to go back to his Fengqing Palace first, but suddenly realized that the matter he had entrusted to Chu Mi had not yet been settled, so he changed his way to Zhaoxian Palace.The eunuch guarding the palace saw that the Second Prince was coming, so he rushed to greet him, "Your Highness the Second Prince", Dongfang Du waved his hand, said a word of excuse, and strode inside.

"Mother and Concubine" Dongfang Du entered the room, bowed his hands and saluted.

"Du'er is here, come, come and sit." Concubine Xian put the book on the bedside and waved to Dongfang Du, but Dongfang Du did not go over and sit down, but stood still and said: "Mother Concubine, Erchen is here to find Senior Sister."

"The one who came to look for Mi'er?" Concubine Xian smiled ambiguously, suddenly remembering what Dongfang Du said yesterday, her heart sank, and the smile disappeared, "Why did you come to find her?" She felt a little worried.

Seeing the worry on Concubine Xian's face, Dongfang Du smiled, and then said: "Concubine Mother, I have something to discuss with my senior sister, and I will not do anything to hurt her." Chu Mi is her own daughter, but she is an outsider.

"Mi'er, she..." Concubine Xian paused, and then said: "She left the palace early this morning." Chu Mi came to her early in the morning and said that she was going to leave the palace, thinking that her emperor had hurt Chu Mi Chu Mi insisted on leaving the palace.Concubine Xian has no choice but to give her her talisman and tell her that as long as she holds this talisman, she can enter the palace at any time.

"So fast?" Dongfang Du frowned and murmured, "Why didn't you tell me first, you left the palace." No matter what, you have to tell yourself before leaving the palace.

"Du'er, come here." Concubine Xian said to Dongfang Du, this time, Dongfang Du obediently sat beside Xian Concubine.

"Du'er, tell my concubine what did you say to Mi'er alone yesterday? Why did she leave the palace early this morning." If it wasn't for what you said, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave. Seeing Dongfang Du's appearance, It seems that he didn't know that Chu Mi left the palace, and he left without telling Dongfang Du, which is not like Chu Mi's behavior.

Dongfang Du looked at Concubine Xian's questioning face, as if he really said something to Chu Mi that he shouldn't have said to force her to leave the palace, feeling a little wronged in his heart.

"Mother Concubine, Senior Sister has something to do with her going out of the palace, and I didn't force her to leave." With this explanation, Concubine Xian's face became even uglier, and she frowned and replied: "You didn't force her to leave, Would she leave so suddenly?" I said something in my heart at the same time, you didn't force her to leave, what did you explain?

"She left the palace because she really has something to do, and she should be back soon." Although she didn't tell herself that she was going to leave the palace today, she was sure that she would be back soon.

"Why did she leave the palace?" Concubine Xian looked into Dongfang Du's eyes, wanting to make sure if she was telling lies to perfuse her, but seeing her affirmative expression, she must be telling the truth.

"Concubine Mu, you will know about this later." It's not to get Concubine Mu out of the palace, but now is not the time to talk about it, at least I have to wait for Chu Mi to arrange everything properly.If it is said now, if it is not arranged well, wouldn't it make the concubine mother happy for nothing.

"You, you're still playing tricks." Concubine Xian's sullen face finally calmed down, and she touched Dongfangdu's head, "Du'er, Mi'er is really good to you." Even if Dongfangdu didn't say anything, Concubine Xian also guessed what was going on, if possible, she really hoped that Du'er could be with Mi'er.

"I know." Dongfang Du nodded, but did not doubt why Concubine Xian would suddenly praise Chu Mi, "Senior Sister, is also my dearest and dearest person." If there is no dark cloud, Chu Mi should not just be the closest The dearest person.

"It's good that you know." Concubine Xian said slowly, "Remember, keep her in your heart, and don't forget how kind she is to you." Concubine Xian has never seen An Yun, and only spent a few days with Chu Mi.In the past few days, she and Chu Mi talked about Dongfangdu's childhood. In Chu Mi's words, she unconsciously revealed her love for Dongfangdu, and that love was not just because she was a senior sister.

"Yeah." Dongfang Du nodded, and she had already sworn in her heart that she would protect her senior sister for the rest of her life. Even if one day her senior sister had someone she loved to protect her, she would silently protect her from afar.I just don't know when someone who likes Senior Sister will appear.Thinking of the senior sister saying that she likes him a few days ago, Dongfang Du's heart twitched, and there was an indescribable pain and suffering.

"Mother Concubine, I won't bother you to read." Dongfang Du picked up the book next to Concubine Xian's pillow and handed it to Concubine Xian, "Your eyes will get sore after reading for a long time. I will ask Leng Mei to make you a cup of wolfberry tea later." Come." After speaking, he stood up, bowed his hands, turned and left.

"Oh, it's still that child after all." Concubine Xian looked at Dongfang Du's leaving back, sighed helplessly, looked down at the book in her hand, shook her head, and flipped a page casually.

Before Dongfang Du set out to fight, An Yun should have been staying in Fengqing Palace.However, after Dongfangdu came back from Zhaoxian Palace, the dark cloud never came out.With Anyun not there, Dongfangdu sat at the table in a daze, staring at a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.She didn't even know when Banlan would appear by her side.

"Second prince, you have been staring at this plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for a long time." Banlan whispered, pulling Dongfangdu's thoughts back, seeing Dongfangdu turning to look at her, she continued, "Are you reluctant to eat it?" ? Don't worry, the slave will make it for you in the future." After speaking, she smiled shyly.

"Uh" Dongfangdu turned his head, continued to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and slowly replied: "I'm just in a daze." It wasn't thinking about whether to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake at all.

"Second prince, what's the matter with you?" Banlan asked worriedly, what is there that should make the second prince unable to figure it out?

"Banlan, you don't have to serve Bengong anymore." Dongfang Du brought the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him, hesitating whether to eat a piece.

Upon hearing this, Banlan quickly grabbed Dongfang Du's sleeve, and asked with red eyes: "Second prince, what's wrong with you, what did this servant do wrong, so you don't want this servant anymore? This servant can cook and clean the palace and give it to you Serving tea and water, knocking on shoulders and back..." Ban Lan counted the things she could do.

"Banlan, it's not that this palace doesn't want you anymore, it's that this palace is going to leave here for a long time." I left, so I don't need her to serve me anymore, and I don't know when I will come back, "You might as well go to the concubine mother's place." , follow mother concubine."

"No, no matter where you go, Ban Lan will follow." Ban Lan let go of Dongfang Du's hand, stood up straight, and looked at her firmly.

"You are still a child. The place I went to is Jizhou, and I went to fight there." Dongfangdu looked back at Banlan, met her eyes, and sighed softly, "It's not where you can fight." Places to go."

"Even if you are going to the battlefield, the slaves will follow you to serve you." Hearing that he was going to fight, Banlan's determination to follow him was strengthened.There are only men in the army, without someone like her who can take care of trivial matters in life, I don't know how bad Dongfangdu would be.

Dongfang Du frowned, didn't say anything more, turned to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and continued to be dazed.After a long time, I got up and was about to go to Lingxin Palace to find Dongfang Lingwu, but I never thought that the little eunuch stopped me outside, "Your Highness, the princess said that I don't want to see you." That's right, Dongfang Lingwu I specifically confess that I will see everyone who comes, but I don't see Dongfangdu.

Dongfang Du sighed, and had no choice but to return to his Fengqing Palace.On this day, Chu Mi left the palace, Dongfang Lingwu avoided seeing him, but An Yun didn't appear for a whole day.For a moment, it seemed that she was the only one left.And three days later, it was the day when she followed General Zhang to Jizhou.
