Thousands of days and nights

"Hmph, a little thief."

Xie Changting didn't take it seriously at all, he just moved his hands, and the monster he raised pounced on Chu She in a well-trained manner.Chu She was also carrying a corpse that was much heavier than himself, so he couldn't run fast, and he was caught.He had no choice but to put down the body of the fifth child, bowed and jumped onto the top of the wall, and took a look at Xie Changting from a distance. He had excellent eyesight and found that the man was also staring at him.

Chu She didn't have time to think about it, and escaped from the periphery before these monsters also jumped up.

Xie Changting didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect that he could escape.He didn't want to stay alive, and was just about to do it himself, when a person broke into the hall behind him and slowed him down.

"Xie Changting, what exactly do you want? Why did the Taifu's family copy and kill all the families? Tell me what's going on? Do you have to die in Great Liang to be satisfied?"

The one who came was a young man in white, looking at his frail and frail man, he was full of bookishness.Xie Changting frowned and glanced over there, seeing that Chu She had already disappeared.

Forget it, just a petty thief, Xie Changting then turned his gaze to that young man.

"Gu language"

He called the man's name, calmly said, "Calm down."

"What did the Taifu do wrong and you want to punish him as Ling Chi?! Changting, I have been persuading you all these years. You started to murder the late emperor, imprison the young emperor, and turn the palace into a mess. There are complaints from all over the country... You are a good friend, it's not like you are on the wrong road, but you are getting more and more excessive, you are really crazy now!"

Gu Yu grabbed his collar with his hands, Xie Changting quietly looked at his red and collapsed eyes, he completely lost the demeanor of a talented scholar who raised his hand to amaze the capital, he only felt ironic.

"It's you who are crazy, I always knew what I was doing."

Xie Changting slowly opened his fingers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "In the end, I have to thank you for the kindness of the introduction back then, Prime Minister."

Gu Yu froze in place as if frozen.

*******

Chu She didn't care about the blood all over his body, so he put a layer of medicinal powder on himself to cover up the smell of blood, and walked around to make sure no one followed him before returning to Yuan Fuqing's place.

However, there was no one in the room.

This has never happened before. In the past two years, Yuan Fuqing has hardly been able to go out.Reminiscent of the picture I saw in Yanfu Hall, and that young man.Chu She panicked, and ran to the bedside to look for the clues he left behind, but only found the xun he had given him.There are untouched meals on the table, already covered with a layer of gray oil stars.There was no sign of struggle or resistance in the whole room, he should have left voluntarily.

The bed was cold, and the quilt was also cold. He must have been walking for a long time.

Chu She suddenly felt that he was in an ice cave and felt cold all over.

He didn't know where to look for him. Yuan Fuqing left without warning, and he didn't mention it at all. Before parting, he kept saying that he would wait for him to come back.Chu She sat by the bed and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to say that he would wait for him, but he disappeared.

He hesitated whether to go out and look for it, but decided to wait here for his return.He closed his eyes, plunged himself into the dead darkness, and slightly felt Yuan Fuqing's hesitation.It's just for a moment, as long as he opens his eyes, everything will be different, but Yuan Fuqing is in endless despair.

He was suffering so much after just waiting for one night, but Yuan Fuqing had been blind for many years...

He sat helplessly until the sun rose in the east, and the night passed.

Will Yuan Fuqing come back?

Just when he was about to be corroded by despair, there were vain footsteps outside the door, light and tentative.He didn't need to look to know who was coming, and looked towards the door with mixed surprises. Yuan Fuqing didn't notice that he was there, but let the little eunuch next to him go down, closed the door and entered the room by himself.

Just as Chu She wanted to call him, he saw his back to the door, without a smile on his face, and he could see his unspeakable mourning from a distance.He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and more tears came out, and he couldn't hold back, from the initial choking to a soft whimper, like a trapped animal driven into a desperate situation.

Chu She couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and hugged him into his arms, the person in his arms froze in shock, still trembling in his arms, his voice trembling, "A She, you are back ..."

"Ah."

"Did you find your brother?"

"found it."

"How is he?"

"already dead."

"Ah? I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Chu She stroked the back of his neck with his hand, pressed his hand into his chest, and asked softly, "Where did you go?"

Yuan Fuqing lay on his chest obediently and explained in a low voice: "It's nothing, the national teacher invited me to visit the national teacher's mansion last night, and we chatted casually..."

"Don't lie to me."

"How could I lie to you?!"

Yuan Fuqing was so wronged that he argued with sincerity, but Chu She unceremoniously exposed it.

"The national teacher was in Yanfu Hall last night."

"..."

Yuan Fuqing never expected it, but immediately calmed down, nodded and said: "So that's the case, no wonder I didn't wait for the national teacher, so I came back again."

As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled at Chu She, "Have you had breakfast? I have some snacks here..."

"Fu Qing, don't run away." Chu She pulled him to a chair and helped him to sit down, and said seriously, "Can't you tell me what wronged you? Even if I can't help you kill him, at least I can listen to your complaints." , we have known each other for so long, can't you still trust me? Are you still afraid that I will betray you? "

Yuan Fuqing lowered his head, his eye circles were reddish, he grabbed the hem of his clothes with his fingers, and wrinkled the plain robe. His belt was neatly tied, and Chu She always felt that something was wrong with him.After a while, Yuan Fuqing finally made up his mind and said, "A She, I said in the past that I am still young, and there is always a chance to turn things around. Do you remember?"

"Yes, I remember."

"But now... I have no chance."

Yuan Fuqing smiled wryly, "The national teacher does not intend to let me live."

Chu She was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Yuan Fuqing said calmly: "I don't know if you have heard of the fact that the Taifu was raped and beheaded by the whole family? The cause of this incident is still because of me."

"You? How could you offend them by staying here?"

"Three years ago, I was imprisoned here, surrounded by darkness. I was very desperate at the time, and I thought about suicide, but I was always unwilling. Sure enough, I occasionally found a note stuck to the bottom of the meals delivered every day, but my I was already blind at the time, and I couldn't see the writing on it. It took me a long time to finally get in touch with the other party. The Tai Tuo received the grace of my father and emperor. About a year ago, he finally bought the maid next to me and learned of my love. Recent situation. We originally wanted to unite with other courtiers to force the national teacher to back down, but a month ago... the matter was exposed, the grand master was executed by all the families, and although the national teacher did not face me publicly, he had already become murderous towards me, so ..."

"You, you never mentioned it, what did he do to you?"

Yuan Fuqing smiled bitterly, "The national teacher didn't want to bear the infamy of usurping the throne, he found a concubine for me, last night..."

Chu She finally found out that something was wrong with him - he smelled of powder.

It turned out to be the case, that is to say, when he had an heir, the national teacher would not hesitate to put him... Chu She felt pain and hatred in his heart. Yuan Fuqing thought for so long, thinking that there was still a glimmer of hope for him when he was young. In this way, his hope was shattered, and he was not as weak as the crown.

These things cannot be digested in a short time, Chu She has been holding his arm, but now he tightened his fingers, and asked in a deep voice: "You are not born blind, are you?"

Yuan Fuqing just laughed helplessly, and there was nothing he could do.

The first time he was still young, he was blinded and imprisoned by poison when he wanted to regain the imperial power, and he was forced to accept a concubine the second time, so he probably won't get a third chance.

Yuan Fuqing heaved a long sigh, and it was the first time he took the initiative to confide in him, "If you die like this, the country of Daliang will no longer have any hope of prosperity. How should I face my ancestors? I am not reconciled..."

Chu She bent down and took his hand, and said seriously: "Fu Qing, I...do you remember what I said to you before I left?"

"Um……"

"Although it is inappropriate to tell you at this time, I will say it. We have known each other for more than two years. You are very kind, you have helped me so much, and you are willing to listen to me patiently. You are very kind to me. From the beginning I liked you very much when I saw you. When I came back and couldn’t find you just now, I was terrified when I thought that something would happen to you. I don’t want you to die. Second brother’s Gui Yougu is isolated from the world, enough to protect you from harm. I will find a good doctor to heal your eyes. good?"

Yuan Fuqing was not too surprised when he said these words, their relationship came naturally, and they had been close for two years, this confession was not abrupt, but it was only a matter of time.Yuan Fuqing did not hesitate for a long time, but slowly held Chu She's hand with his own hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and said sincerely: "A She, you are the only one who can accompany me when I am imprisoned here. I am the one who speaks, and I have no less affection for you than you."

Chu She was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but put his arms around him and buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, wishing he could hold him in his palms and take care of him.

"Great, you come with me."

Yuan Fuqing then said softly: "But A She, I like you, I can die to protect you, but I don't live for you alone. Now that evil is in power, I can't leave with you."

"why?!"

"Because I am the king of Great Liang, I have to bear both misfortune and fortune."

When Chu She thought of the scene he saw last night and the fear of losing him, he trembled with fear, and pressed his hands tightly on his shoulders as if he was afraid that he would disappear in the next second, "Fu Qing, I know you can't let go. Your responsibility, but you can't come back, do you understand?"

Yuan Fuqing said frankly: "Even if the sky is dead and I am in great cold, I can't be the one who accepts my fate. It's not because I don't want to, but because I can't."

He slowly pulled out the hand that was held by Chu She.

"A She, I'm sorry."
