When the young man left the palace, he kept suppressing a surge of anger in his heart, he just wanted to arrest the young man and torture him severely.

After learning the whole truth of the matter, Shen Lixin secretly dealt with the culprit, Jiang Meiren—he knew that Jiang Meiren was just a goat, but the people behind the scenes could not be moved for the time being—but he still didn't know the boy's whereabouts.Only then did Shen Lixin really panic.The young man was neither alive nor dead, and seeing that the end of the year was approaching, he couldn't tell outsiders that he had lost the empress. This would only cause people to panic.He could only declare that the queen was ill, and then secretly send someone to look for it.

31.

On this day, the Queen Mother called King Qi into the palace again.

Shen Ying got up early, and Xiaoyu took care of her dressing and washing.Tang Zi walked into the bedroom cautiously, and saw Xiaoyu helping Shen Ying tie her hair.He stood by the side for a while, watching the girl tie Shen Ying's long hair into a bun in a very familiar way, put on a jade crown, and tie it with a hairpin.

Tang Zi couldn't help tugging at his somewhat disheveled hair. In the morning, he just casually rolled up his hair and tied it with a turban, and matched it with a washed-up white blue cloth clothes. Compared with the elegant and luxurious prince, it was a world of difference.However, he is an informal person. Before he got to know Qi Wang's family, he didn't know how prosperous his family was. Anyway, he is just an ordinary person, and he only needs to wear clean clothes.

After Shen Ying finished dressing, she stood up and straightened her sleeves, raised her eyes to see Tang Zi standing in the corner, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Tang Zi leaned over with a smile, and stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, scooping up a yellow silk cloth full of words in his hand.

Shen Ying knew that thing, and it was the emperor's list that the emperor announced to the world to seek medical treatment for the empress.Shen Ying couldn't help having a headache: "What are you doing with this thing?"

Tang Zi looked at Shen Ying expectantly: "My lord, let me enter the palace to treat the queen!"

Xiaoyu at the side glanced at Tang Zi, and went out with a water basin.

Shen Ying asked a little strangely: "What's the matter? Did I treat you badly in Prince Qi's Mansion?"

"No," Tang Zi rubbed his hands, "I just want to play in the palace..."

Shen Ying shook her head, turned around and stopped looking at him: "They said they would bring you into the palace on New Year's Eve, don't you believe me?"

"...There's still half a month left!"

"Can't wait half a month?"

"But..." Tang Zi hurriedly searched for ideas in his head, pondered for a moment and clapped his hands: "My lord, isn't the emperor your younger brother? If your sister-in-law is sick, can you die?"

"..."

"So let me go!"

The corners of Shen Ying's mouth twitched, and she shook her head helplessly: "If you want to treat people, go to the bamboo garden to accompany that Mr. Lin... let alone, the Queen Mother is still waiting for me."

Tang Zi looked at his cheeks, and looked like a child's doormat, and watched Shen Ying go out. He walked around Shen Ying's bedroom a few times impatiently, secretly making up his mind.

Shen Ying came to Xingluo Palace and was told that the Queen Mother was having breakfast.Because of the extraordinary relationship between King Qi and Queen Mother Feng, the guards at the gate let Shen Ying in without asking any questions.

It was only when Shen Ying approached the side hall that she realized that there was another person sitting beside Empress Dowager Feng.

From a distance, I saw that person was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, only one person in the world could wear this kind of clothes.There was a pause in her footsteps, Shen Ying collected herself and walked in that direction.

Seeing Shen Ying approaching, Empress Dowager Feng smiled and waved to him: "King Qi, come and sit down, let's have some food together."

Shen Ying didn't dare to offend the queen mother, and sat down after paying homage to the emperor and queen mother.During the process, Shen Lixin didn't look at Shen Ying directly.

In fact, the two brothers, Shen Lixin and Shen Ying, are somewhat withdrawn in character, but Shen Ying's withdrawnness comes from the self-proclaimed aloofness of the prince's eldest son, and Shen Lixin's withdrawnness is caused by the depression caused by being away from his parents and being raised in the deep palace since childhood.Shen Ying knew in her heart that although they were blood brothers, their relationship was even more distant than the soldiers guarding the gate of the imperial city.

None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Empress Dowager Feng looked at the emperor, then at King Qi, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Your Majesty and King Qi haven't seen each other for a year, right?"

Shen Ying smiled slightly: "The last time we met was the Mid-Autumn Festival last year."

Empress Dowager Feng nodded suddenly: "I remember, King Qi was unwell during the Chinese New Year last year, so he didn't come to the capital." She felt emotional in her heart and couldn't help sighing: "It's rare for you to meet, the emperor will spend more time in Xingluo Palace today , talk to King Qi about the old days."

Shen Lixin's face was a little haggard, but she remained sullen and said nothing.

Shen Ying said: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, so it is inconvenient for me to disturb you."

Empress Dowager Feng saw that the meeting between these two people was not like brothers reuniting but like enemies on a narrow road, and her aunt couldn't say much, so she changed the subject and chatted with Shen Ying about something else.

Eating breakfast was extremely depressing, after the meal, Shen Lixin said "I still have something to do" and got up to leave.Empress Dowager Feng pulled Shen Ying to sit on the brocade couch, and asked solemnly: "King Qi hasn't married a concubine yet, I don't know what kind of girl King Qi likes, so Aijia can help King Qi pay attention."

Shen Ying smiled silently, but did not speak.

Empress Dowager Feng was anxious, and said with a stern face: "What's the matter? What can't you say to the Ai family? The emperor is too old now and can't control the Ai family. Why is King Qi separated from the Ai family?"

Shen Ying said: "Queen Mother, I actually..." The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.

"what?"

"...I actually haven't met anyone I like yet."

Empress Dowager Feng nodded to express her understanding: "If you meet, you must tell the Ai family. Qi Wang is not young, and now the emperor has two sons and a daughter, Qi Wang must work harder."

"Yes."

After leaving the Xingluo Palace, Shen Ying stared at the gray sky above the palace for a while.

"His Royal Highness King Qi."

A voice behind him brought him back to reality.

Shen Ying turned her head and found that it was the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, Your Majesty invites you to visit Qingxiao Hall."

At the same time, after breakfast, Tang Zi strolled to the bamboo garden.

He entered the room and saw the young man leaning against the head of the bed, the leftover breakfast and the empty medicine bowl were placed on the table next to him.

Tang Zi walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, the boy smiled at him.Tang Zi saw the scroll in the boy's hand, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Yi handed the book to Tang Zi: "Chen Ying lent it to me."

Tang Zi looked at the cover of the book, as if it was his own medical book.He twitched the corners of his mouth, slandering King Qi for scooping up my things and giving them away for favors. It was extremely abominable, and he laughed twice on the surface: "Are you studying medicine?"

"Well, in fact, I only know a little superficially. I used to prepare some medicine for myself..." Lin Yi is in good spirits and spirits this day.This doctor named Tang Zi looks carefree, but he is easy to get along with. Chen Ying treats people politely but always gives him a sense of alienation that rejects people thousands of miles away. It's really hard to be friends.

Looking at the young man's beautiful face, Tang Zi sighed in his heart.

"In the future, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." Tang Zi said.

Lin Yi nodded: "Okay." He rolled his eyes and asked again: "Young Master Tang..."

Tang Zi waved his hand: "You've already called him by his name, why don't you just call me by my name too."

"Tang Zi," Lin Yi said, "do you know what Chen Ying does?"

"What does he do..." Tang Zi froze for a moment, remembering that King Qi had reminded him not to let this boy know his identity.

So he continued: "What do you think he does?"

"Shouldn't you be an official?" Because I haven't heard of such a person in the palace.

"Well, he won't be an official."

King Qi Shen Ying's status was embarrassing. The emperor thought about his brotherhood and did not move his status, but secretly canceled many of King Qi's privileges that other kings should have.In order to keep the lineage of King Qi, Shen Ying would not ask the emperor to take power.

"Business?"

Tang Zi looked at Fang Liang: "It seems... not..."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully: "I understand." It turns out that Chen Ying is a rich second generation, so it's no wonder that he is so rich and powerful.

That being the case, maybe my plan can be implemented...

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help grinning.It's just that in Tang Zi's eyes, this smile is a little... two...

Shen Ying walked into the study and found the emperor sitting at the desk next to the bed, thinking.He walked over and saluted: "Your Majesty."

Shen Lixin came back to her senses, glanced at King Qi Shen Ying, and said calmly: "Wang Concubine Qi... are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, everything is fine over there."

"How long have you been in the capital?"

"Return to Your Majesty, less than a month."

"Where have you been all this time?"

"Chen... usually rests in the mansion, and has never been anywhere."

Shen Lixin smiled: "Really?" There was a hint of contempt and disapproval in his tone.

Shen Ying was speechless for a while, but saw the other party standing up and walking in front of her.

The two are about the same height, but Shen Ying is not as thin as Shen Lixin.Shen Ying looked at the emperor in front of him, the mediocre child in his childhood impression could not be connected with the majestic emperor in front of him no matter what.

Everyone thought he was just a pawn, but they didn't expect him to be a sharpened sword.That man had endured it for more than ten years, and once he showed his sharpness.

Even Shen Ying couldn't figure out that person.

Shen Ying and Shen Lixin looked at each other, the other's gaze was too harsh, Shen Ying was a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Ying asked cautiously.

Shen Lixin looked at Shen Ying, and said slowly: "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

Shen Ying replied: "

No. "

"I warn you, don't try to grab something from me."

Shen Ying was startled, and quickly collected herself, pretending to be dazed and looking back at Shen Lixin: "What is your Majesty referring to?"

"You know what I mean."

When Shen Ying walked out of Qingxiao Palace, the cold wind made him shiver all over, and only then did he realize that he was covered in cold sweat.

Back at the mansion, Shen Ying found that Tang Zi was not in the mansion, so she went directly to the bamboo garden to visit Lin Yi.

Lin Yi mysteriously scooped out a stack of papers and handed them to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying read what was written on it, and smiled helplessly.

Seeing that Shen Ying lacked interest, Lin Yi asked, "Master Chen, are you really not interested in investing?"

Shen Ying returned the paper full of words to Lin Yi: "If you want to open a shop, I can lend you money."

Lin Yi held Shen Ying's hand excitedly: "You are really a good person."

Shen Ying felt her heart beating faster, and her cheeks were slightly hot, she quickly withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's easy."

"But before that, you need to recover from your illness." Shen Ying added.

"Yeah." Lin Yi smiled brightly.

32.

The officers and soldiers who were secretly looking for someone finally arrived at the mansion of King Qi.

Shen Ying sat in the outer hall and asked the servant girl to make tea for several officers and soldiers.

Those few people were all the generals of the imperial guards who were highly valued by the emperor. They were entrusted by the emperor with a secret mission to find the empress. They searched the capital for several days but couldn't find anyone. Finally, they had to knock on the door of Prince Qi's mansion.

Shen Ying didn't speak, and drank tea slowly with a restrained expression.

Several officers and soldiers in armor sat dumbly, no one dared to speak first.

When the cup of tea was bottomed out, Lieutenant Zhao Chengying couldn't sit still, and said, "His Royal Highness, the officials came to the mansion today... It is really the emperor's order..."

Shen Ying looked at Zhao Chengying with a very sincere look, and asked slowly: "What instructions does the emperor have? I will definitely do what the king can do."

Zhao Chengying looked at his subordinates next to him, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's because a young nobleman in the palace has disappeared, and the emperor ordered his subordinates to search for it in the capital."

"Since it's a nobleman in the palace who got lost, he probably wouldn't come to this king, right?"

"My lord, it's not certain... It's convenient for you to let the officials go in and search..."

"You guys can come in and out of this king's mansion at will?" Shen Ying said in a deep voice.

Everyone below trembled.

"but……"

"It's only been a month since my king returned to Shangjing. Is there anyone in this mansion who still doesn't know? Lieutenant Zhao, this king promises you that if you meet that noble person of the emperor, you will definitely send him back to the palace as soon as possible."

The officers and soldiers didn't have much to say, so they could only finish their tea resentfully, and left Qi Palace in despair.

Several officers and soldiers returned to the palace, and Zhao Chengying reported the search to the emperor in detail.

Shen Lixin tapped her fingers on the table, frowned and said, "Have you guys gone to Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Zhao Chengying wiped his cold sweat: "Go back to the emperor, I have gone, but I can't find it."

Shen Lixin waved Zhao Chengying back, feeling more and more irritable.

--He is alone and penniless, so there is no way he will leave Shangjing.The last time I saw that young man, he still looked weak and unhealed, he was not in good health, and it was freezing cold, where could he go...

After four or five days of recuperating in bed, Lin Yi couldn't sit still.Taking advantage of his good energy and good weather outside, he secretly got out of bed and went for a walk.

The servant girl who had been waiting by her side couldn't persuade him, so she let him go out, and followed carefully, so as to help Lin Yi when he needed it.

His physical strength was not as good as before, and he walked quite strenuously from the gate to the courtyard gate, and finally got out of the bamboo garden, he was panting and sweating profusely.

The servant girl Ziyao who was following behind was terrified, but she didn't dare to go forward, she only watched the sickly boy hold the door and panted for a long time before continuing to walk outside.She was running around in a hurry, hoping that the prince or Miss Yu would show up soon.

However, it was not time for Shen Ying to come to visit, and Tang Zi also stopped coming to see a doctor because Lin Yi's condition had improved recently, and only handed over the daily prescriptions to the servants and told them to take the medicine and decoct it on time.

Lin Yi didn't expect that there would be such a big area outside the bamboo garden, and he walked through several courtyards with hesitant turns. He was exhausted but didn't want to give up, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on walking.

A side door was ajar, and there was a voice from inside.Lin Yi walked over curiously, looked in through the crack of the door, and found that Tang Zi was practicing boxing in the yard.

Lin Yi couldn't see clearly, but only saw a blue figure as swift as a leopard hidden by the branches, and the sound of clothes rubbing against the wind could be heard from time to time.He watched intently, but found that the man suddenly stopped moving.

"Who's there?" Tang Zi raised his voice and shouted.

Lin Yi pushed the door resentfully and entered, and said with a smirk, "Hero Tang is really superb in martial arts, my little brother is fascinated by watching."

Seeing that it was Lin Yi, Tang Zi frowned and said, "Why did you come out? Didn't you let you stay in bed to recuperate from illness?" The prince's condition worsened and he wanted to settle accounts with me...

"I can't lie down anymore, let's go out for a walk while the weather is good today."

"Let's go?" Tang Zi looked at Lin Yi with some amusement. The young man's face was pale at this time, with a thin layer of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose, and his breathing was uneven. It seemed that he was exhausted.

"You go away so casually, and you will lie down for several days when you turn around." Tang Zi continued.

"Really?" Lin Yi wiped the sweat off his face with a smile, and forced his tired body to go to the railing of the promenade and sit down, "I don't think it's good to lie down all the time, I should walk more to exercise ."

Tang Zi twitched the corners of her lips and stopped answering.

"Do you live here?"

"Yes!" Tang Zi also came over and sat beside Lin Yi, holding Lin Yi's wrist, his pulse was intermittent, it was very serious.Tang Zi sighed in his heart: Hey, I will definitely be scolded by the prince now...

Lin Yi didn't know what was going on in Tang Zi's mind, he still looked around with great interest, and suddenly looked at Tang Zi again.

The two sat very close, Tang Zi could even see the fine hair on the young man's face and the blue blood vessels on his thin neck.

"Hero Tang, can you teach me martial arts in the future?"

Tang Zi recovered from his contemplation, and said casually, "You? Forget it..."

"why?"

"As long as you live honestly, I will be thankful. Look at you, you look short-lived. One day, if you don't pay attention to sleep, you will easily pass. How dare I teach you martial arts..." Tang Zi realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly covered his mouth.He looked at the other party cautiously, only to find that the boy only had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"That..." Tang Zi said awkwardly, "Actually, you can still be saved...don't be too hard on yourself..."

"Yeah." The boy nodded.

Seeing the young man's normal expression, Tang Zi felt even more guilty. He looked around, only the maid who was sent to serve the young man was standing in the distance, probably only Lin Yi heard what he said.

The tense heart relaxed slightly, Tang Zi patted Lin Yi's shoulder: "Since you're here, why don't you go to my room to rest?"

"Okay..." Lin Yi stood up, his legs suddenly went limp.

Tang Zi hurriedly caught the falling body of the man, and the young man was lying in his arms, frowning, sweat dripped from his forehead, his eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to have passed out.He wanted to cry but didn't have any tears, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.

At this moment, Shen Ying came from a distance, and seeing the two people in the corridor, she was secretly startled, walked over quickly, and took the young man into her arms.

Tang Zi grabbed Shen Ying's sleeve as if meeting a savior and cried, "You are finally here, I made a mistake just now."

Shen Ying nervously looked at the boy lying in her arms, then looked up at Tang Zi: "Did you say something to him?"

"Hmm..." Tang Zi nodded tragically.

Shen Ying sighed, hugged the young man horizontally, turned to leave, at this moment the young man woke up leisurely, saw Shen Ying, and showed a weak smile.Shen Ying's heart seemed to be held by invisible hands, and she couldn't breathe from the pain.

He said softly: "Don't listen to Tang Zi's nonsense, I will take you back to rest."

Lin Yi grabbed Shen Ying's collar, shook his head and said, "I also think...but Tang Zi just said...can it be cured?"

Tang Zi who was standing behind nodded fiercely: "That's right! I'll go and invite my master, he's good at medicine!"

Shen Ying said: "Then why don't you go quickly, if you can't invite me, don't come back to see me!"

Tang Zi turned around and ran away.

In fact, the people sent by Shen Ying to invite the genius doctor down the mountain have already set off, but whether they can be invited is still a question.Now that Tang Zi went to ask for it in person, maybe the genius doctor Bai Tingyun who had been shutting himself up for a long time would come down the mountain.It couldn't be better.

Feeling a little more at ease in her heart, Shen Ying looked at the boy in her arms with some pity.He has missed it once, and this time, he can't let go.

"Actually, I want to ask if you would like to go back to my hometown Yingzhou with me. If you want to open a shop, you can go there first."

"Yingzhou?" Lin Yi frowned, never heard of this place name...but this is a fictional world, it is normal for strange place names to appear.

Shen Ying was a little nervous: "Although it is not as prosperous as Shangjing, it is also a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. You will definitely like it when you go."

Lin Yi looked at the other party looking at him expectantly, obviously inviting himself to visit his hometown, but he was curious about the outside world, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Shen Ying let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "We will leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

It was only at this time that Lin Yi realized that he was lying in someone's arms. He shoved the other person's arm with some embarrassment, and motioned for the other person to let him down.

Shen Ying understood and let Lin Yi go.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he felt dizzy again. Lin Yi supported the opponent's arms to stand still, and then smiled: "Thank you."

Shen Ying also smiled: "Nothing."

The two looked at each other and smiled, which was a rare tacit understanding.

Shen Ying felt warm in her heart, and had some expectations for the fifteenth day of next month.

Lin Yi insisted on not going back to rest, so Shen Ying wandered around the palace with him.

The courtyard was desolate, but fortunately the pavilions were considered exquisite, Shen Ying sent away the servants of the mansion in advance, and the two walked around the mansion, it took half a day to reach the front hall.

Seeing Lin Yi standing still on the screen wall in front of the main entrance of the Wangfu, Shen Ying was extremely nervous, for fear that he would find out that this was the Wangfu.Seeing that the young man was panting badly, he suggested, "Shall we go inside and have a cup of tea?"

In fact, Lin Yi was exhausted long ago, but he took the initiative to take a break because of his bad face. At this time, the other party spoke first, and he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Shen Ying felt relieved, and helped the boy into the house.

There was a warm couch for resting in the wing room, Shen Ying led the young man in, and someone told him that the warm couch was properly furnished, with cushions and a coffee table on it, and a tea set and a few plates of delicate snacks on the coffee table.

Lin Yi sat comfortably on the couch, holding a cup full of hot tea.Shen Ying looked at the young man's exhausted appearance, and said worriedly, "How about I take you back to rest?"

The boy shook his head: "It's rare that the weather is good today. I have to walk enough before going back. When it rains and snows in the future, I won't go out if you want me to."

Shen Ying smiled helplessly: "You can't play jokes on your own body."

"I know my body well."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Shen Ying's heart sank, and she stood up abruptly, only to see a group of officers and soldiers break into the door. He subconsciously protected the young man behind him, and watched the door vigilantly.

The Emperor Da Zhou followed into the room, with a gloomy expression, stepped forward and kicked Shen Ying to the ground.

33.

Shen Ying clutched her stomach and took two steps back, hitting the shelf by the window.The pot of rose flowers in full bloom fell to the ground and shattered, and the tiles were scattered everywhere.

Lin Yi, who was leaning on the couch, didn't react until the fragments scratched his robe. The moment he raised his head, he met the emperor's dark eyes, and his heart sank.

Shen Lixin only glanced at the young man, then walked towards Shen Ying again.He grabbed Shen Ying's collar and lifted it up, and swung the fist of his other hand fiercely at that handsome face.

Shen Ying doesn't know martial arts, so naturally she has no power to fight back against Shen Lixin's offensive.He didn't hide either, Shen Lixin's punch was extremely ruthless, soon Shen Ying could feel the smell of blood in his mouth.

Lin Yi hurriedly went to the ground to help, but was swept away by the emperor forcefully, he fell unsteadily to the ground, and his eyes turned black.

Shen Ying raised her head, wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smiled at Shen Lixin in front of her: "Your Majesty..."

Shen Lixin's face was gloomy, and he greeted him with a second punch: "I warned you not to steal my things!"

Shen Ying was still smiling, but with a trace of sadness: "I don't know... what the emperor is referring to..."

"You don't know?" Shen Lixin sneered, "How dare you say you don't know?" The moment he spoke, he suddenly let go of the hand holding the collar, and the next moment, he raised his leg and kicked hard again.

Shen Ying stood still against the wall: "I... don't know..."

The emperor beat the prince, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. There was a circle of guards standing in the room, but all of them were watching.

"You dare to touch my people? If I don't find out, are you going to smuggle them back to Yingzhou?!"

"I just... fell in love with this Mr. Lin at first sight..."

Shen Lixin had already reached the point of fury, he stepped forward and kicked a few more times in frustration, and the dignified king of Qi was lying on the ground, curled up and motionless.

"It's like old friends at first sight, do you know who he is? Who gave you the guts to do this?! Are you tired of living? Okay! I will help you!"

"The emperor wants the minister to die, that is also the honor of the minister... how dare the minister resist the order..."

Shen Lixin casually pulled out a soldier's knife, the knife pointed coldly at Shen Ying's calmly smiling face.

That's it... Shen Lixin frowned slightly, no matter what the external situation is, this person always looks like the mountain collapses before him, and looks so detached, as if other people are the most vicious, it is extremely hateful and hateful.

Lin Yi managed to catch his breath. He was confused by the interaction between the two in front of him, but he didn't dare to go forward rashly. It wasn't until the emperor drew his knife and pointed at the man that Lin Yi hurriedly got up from the ground and explained cautiously. Said: "Your Majesty, don't be like this... This Mr. Chen has saved my life..."

"Yeah, you don't even know who he is. He saved your life, so you promise him with your body? You are too easy to deceive, right?" Shen Lixin sneered and dropped the knife, and strode over to grab it Clinging to Lin Yi's wrist: "Or...you have decided to spend your life privately, and are planning to escape from under my nose?"

Shen Ying said anxiously: "It's the minister who deliberately concealed his identity, it's none of his business."

Shen Lixin snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and dragged Lin Yi out of the room.

The emperor's imperial horse was right outside the door, and Shen Lixin carried the young man onto the horse.Lin Yi was thrown into a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was hung on the horse, and a bulge on the saddle was just on his stomach, which made him feel nauseated.Shen Lixin swung his whip, and the horse neighed, carrying Lin Yi and Shen Lixin galloping towards the palace.

The white horse ran happily for a long time through the streets and through the gates of the palace before finally stopping in front of the gate of Qingxiao Temple.

Shen Lixin got off the horse, dragged the motionless young man off the horse roughly, and carried it into the bedroom like a cargo.

The door slowly closed behind him, and Shen Lixin threw the boy on the dragon bed.

Lin Yiyou woke up when he was thrown on the bed. The suffocation in his lungs and the dull pain in his chest forced him to curl up into a ball, as if this was the only way to relieve the pain.

Even though he knew that he would not live long before, he optimistically hoped that the master Tang Zi mentioned would come to see him soon.But at this moment, all limbs and limbs are clamoring to go on strike, and the idea of ​​survival is like a weak flame, but it is about to be extinguished by the sudden rainstorm.He struggled to open his eyes, and in his blurred vision was the angry face of the emperor. He used to be very afraid of the emperor's appearance, but now he suddenly felt a relaxation on the verge of relief.

He heard the emperor's voice floating from a distance: "Lin Yihan, put away your useless cleverness, and don't try to escape from me."

He smiled at the blurred face, unable to speak, and said in his heart: Impossible.

Then he fell into darkness.

Shen Lixin stood by the bed and looked down at the boy lying on the bed.He saw the young man move, slowly raised his head, curled his bloodless lips, and then a bright red

The liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He didn't react for a while, he just watched the pool of red on the bright yellow bed sheet gradually fade away, the boy half closed his eyes, but his eyes were already foggy.

"Lin Yihan?"

The only answer to him is the red color that is getting bigger and bigger.

He hurried to the bed and picked up the boy.The body in his arms was light and weightless, his head was hanging on one side, his originally pale face was now bluish white, like a peony in bloom.

Only then did he panic, and reached out his hand to wipe away the blood from the young man's lips, but he couldn't wipe it clean, and the blood continued to overflow from his mouth.His heart ached as if being tightly squeezed, he hugged the young man helplessly for a moment, then he came back and shouted: "Come on! Send the doctor quickly!!!"

Shen Ying was placed under house arrest in Prince Qi's Mansion, and the door was guarded by the imperial guards.Xiaoyu soaked the towel in warm water, and gently wiped Shen Ying's swollen eye corners and cheeks.

However, Shen Ying just sat there in a daze, even though her face was embarrassed, she didn't notice Xiaoyu's wiping at all, her eyes stared blankly at the air in front of her, as if there was someone standing there.

Xiaoyu looked at her master's distraught look, her nose was sore, and she quickly regained her composure and secretly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"My lord, why are you bothering..."

Shen Ying recovered from her contemplation, smiled wryly and said: "Xiaoyu, you don't understand... everything is caused by me... it's all my fault..."

"My lord..."

"At that time, I was too arrogant..." I closed my eyes, and my mind was full of the boy's frown and smile.

I forgot which year it was during the Lantern Festival, and he was walking with his entourage on the streets decorated with lights in the capital. A little beggar followed him all the way until he turned into an alley, and the child was caught and sent to in front of myself.He looked no more than six years old, a skinny little man with delicate features, not as stunning as he is today, and his expression was timid, with fear and fear in his bright eyes.Such a child, surrounded by tall guards, struggled to run towards him.Shen Ying asked his followers to buy candy for the child, but the child insisted on following Shen Ying, with his dirty little hands tightly grasping the figure's robe.

The child said: "My name is Lin Yihan, son, please take me away!"

Shen Ying brushed off the hand holding her robe in disgust, turned around and walked away quickly, letting the child yell loudly behind her.

After that, he would always think of the child's bright eyes and sincere words.

A few years later, it was in the capital again.His carriage happened to pass by Beishan on the outskirts of the city, and his sleeping ferret, which was curled up in his arms, suddenly ran out of the carriage. He sent someone to look for him, but he found a stunning young man dressed in rags.The thin figure that was seen from a distance during the full moon banquet of the prince in the palace, suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and wild ridges. Although the clothes are not covered, the appearance and body? It looks like a banished fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world.The boy's face overlapped with the dirty child in his memory, and Shen Ying suddenly found that he had inadvertently fallen into a dense net, unable to break free, and unwilling to break free.

A voice in his heart firmly told himself "it's him", and he carefully hid it, sweet and sad.The young man no longer remembered himself, he was disappointed for a while, but he was very happy.In order to make up for the regret in his heart, he kept that young man by his side and took good care of him. He already had no desires, but he only wanted to keep that person by his side. Even if he just looked at that person's smiling face, he would be very satisfied in his heart.

"That person has already become a queen, it is not something the prince can keep."

"I don't know...Xiaoyu, tell me...why didn't I keep him in the first place..."

When Xiaoyu was in Yingzhou, he heard King Qi talk about this matter, so he could only answer helplessly: "It is yours, it is destined to be yours, and it is not yours, so you can't force it, my lord, just forget about him." ..."

Shen Ying looked at Xiaoyu, smiled sadly, and shook her head.

"Easier said than done..."

This time the queen was really seriously ill, and even the imperial doctors were helpless.

"The old illness has not healed, and the anger is attacking the heart. The queen is already weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this time." The old doctor said to the emperor tremblingly.

Shen Lixin lost her temper outside, and seeing a group of imperial doctors laying on the ground trembling and silent like cicadas, she felt restless in her heart, so she stopped talking, turned and went into the dormitory.

The young man lay quietly on the bed, his face was ashen, his motionless appearance made Shen Lixin think that the man was dead.He quickly walked over to hold the slender arm that was outside the quilt, the tentacles were icy cold, Shen Lixin stretched out his hand frightenedly to test the boy's breath, the breath was still there, but it was extremely weak.He stared blankly at the face of the sleeping boy, and couldn't believe that the boy who was still talking to him in the afternoon might never wake up again.

Thinking of this, Shen Lixin felt a sharp pain in his chest.He collected himself, stretched out his hand to gently cover the boy's forehead, and leaned over to kiss the boy's bloodless lips.

"Didn't you always listen to me? I won't let you die, you know?"

/> However, there was no answer.

34.

Shen Lixin's sleep was extremely restless. For a while, it was the cold and quiet time when he lived alone in the Tianhua Palace of the Crown Prince when he was young, and for a while he was frightened and dazed when he was alone in the court hall when he was a teenager. The Buddha was in a darkness as heavy and sticky as ink, unable to move.He struggled to escape the darkness, took a few steps and found himself still in place.An inexplicable fear surged up like a tide. He looked around, and there was black everywhere. He was in a black ocean, and it seemed that he would be swallowed at any time.

Then a ray of light tore apart the black curtain in front of him.A beautiful child in common clothes appeared beside him, his height was not as high as his waist, but he was holding his sleeves, his head was raised, and his big bright eyes were full of seriousness and anticipation.

He heard the child say to him, "Brother, will you protect me?"

He wanted to speak, tried to shout, but he couldn't hear his own voice.

A voice in my heart told me that the child was not talking to you.

He suddenly realized that he did not have such a young brother, but he had seen such a child.

who is...

The child disappeared, replaced by another familiar figure.

It was a boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He had an indistinguishable face, and his smile was as bright and warm as the sunshine in spring.

He stepped forward and grabbed the boy's arm, wanting to say "I will protect you" to the boy, but the opened mouth
