Qing Dynasty Chronicle

Brother Fourteen is a little bit wrong, oh, it’s not a little bit wrong, but very wrong.Everyone can see this, and his face is pale with despair.

In connection with what happened outside the Great Wall last year, the bosses who counted down from Kangxi had a bad face, and waved Sun Dongxi away.

Sun Dongxi forced himself to kneel in the tent calmly, ignoring those shoes from the corner of his eye, and involuntarily slipped his mind, those belonged to the thirteenth elder brother, that belonged to the fourth elder brother, those belonged to the prince, the ones with gold silk embroidered dragon patterns, those It belonged to Lord Long Live. After counting them one by one, Sun Dongxi only felt that his calves were cramping.Since he entered the palace, he has never encountered so many masters and masters surrounding him to look at him.

Of course Kangxi didn't know what Sun Dongxi was thinking, so he just asked indifferently, "What's wrong with Brother Fourteen these two days?"

Of course, Sun Dongxi also saw Yinti's ailment, and immediately leaned down on the ground and replied, "As for Long live Lord, the master is a little out of spirit these days, and the servant invited the imperial doctor to come to check his pulse, but he just said that the master is probably tired on the road. Just take two doses of medicine and rest well."

Kangxi was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "Didn't you look energetic before, why are you tired? Looking at Brother Fourteen's face, it doesn't just look like he's tired."

Kangxi was dissatisfied, Sun Dongxi immediately raised his heart to his throat, and lay down on the ground, not daring to speak.

Yinreng received Kangxi's signal look, and then said, "Think about it carefully, is there something wrong with Brother Fourteen these days? What special food did you eat or what special person did you meet? Or where did you go?"

The more Yinfeng asked Sun Dongxi, the faster his heart beat. What does the crown prince mean by asking this?Could it be that it means that our master has overstepped the rules?Although there were many thoughts in his mind, but in the end he was facing the number one and number two leaders of the empire, Sun Dongxi took out the memories of the past two days and sifted through them several times, then his eyes lit up, and he said in a hesitant tone, "Return to His Royal Highness If so, it seems that there is, but the servant is not sure..."

Yinreng hated other people's sticky and nonchalant talk the most, frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, so hesitantly waiting for reward! A master is taken care of by you like this Son, do you still want to ask for something good?"

Sun Dongxi, who was cut off by Yinfeng, knocked his head loudly, "This slave deserves to die, this slave has absolutely no intention of doing so, please forgive me..."

Yinti's state did make Kangxi a little worried, so now he is not interested in pursuing Sun Dongxi's responsibility for his bad service, so he just raised his hand and said, "Let's talk about what you found wrong first."

"Hey." Long live Lord Jinkou opened, and Sun Dongxi, whose head was red and swollen, stopped. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and said what he saw like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, "It was Long Live Lord a few days ago. The matter of entertaining the Mongolian nobles, the master was a little tired when he came back from the banquet that night. The slave served the master to wash up and then fell asleep on the couch. Maybe he was tired, and the master slept soundly, but after arriving In the middle of the night, the slave faintly heard the sound of crying in a low voice. The slave rushed to the side of the master with the candlestick in hand. When he got there, he found that the master's eyes were closed tightly, and tears kept flowing out. The slave was thinking about the master Xu Shi was haunted, so he wanted to wake up the master softly. After calling for a long time, the master opened his eyes. The master looked a little dazed and didn't know what happened. Later, the slave served the master and drank a cup of warm tea. At that time, the master asked the slave if he had seen the jade pendant that the master had been wearing all the time, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. In the end, the master didn't say anything, and just lay down and rested again. After that, he didn't find anything special .”

After listening to Sun Dongxi finished speaking, Kangxi tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said, "Jade pendant? What jade pendant?"

Sun Dongxi replied, "Returning to the Lord Long Live, it is a suet jade pendant, which the master bought outside the palace last year. The master likes it so much that he has been wearing it close to his body without taking it off."

"Then why it disappeared? Could it be that there are thieves in the fourteenth tent?" Kangxi asked again.

As soon as these words came out, Sun Dongxi's heart trembled. It might not be so serious if someone else said it, but when the emperor opened his mouth, it might be a matter of blood. If he dared to steal the prince's things, the emperor would know Yes, this is Lao Jixing who eats arsenic and thinks his life will last forever.

Sun Dongxi kowtowed a few more times, "Back to Lord Long Live, when the slave was serving the master to sleep, the jade pendant was still worn on the master's neck. Later, when the master fell asleep, the slave was watching by the side. Who came in. After the master woke up, the jade pendant just disappeared."

"It's really strange. A good thing just disappeared out of nowhere?" Yinfeng glanced at Kangxi and said, "What happened later? What happened to your master after this thing disappeared?"

Sun Dongxi replied, "Back to His Royal Highness, since the day he found out that the jade pendant was missing, the master seems to be the same as before, but occasionally he just doesn't talk, and he doesn't know what he is thinking when he sits there alone. His eyes are still red..." The more he talked, the softer Sun Dongxi's voice became, and he said that it was no different from the past, he was really blind!

Apparently, Master Kang and Sun Dongxi thought the same thing, "It's no different after everything is like this? You have such a generous heart to be a slave, Liang Jiugong——"

Before Kangxi finished speaking, the crown prince cut off his words in a low voice, "Khan Ama, my son thinks that this slave should not be dealt with urgently, and it is the fourteenth brother's business that matters. Now the fourteenth brother looks at the spirit In a daze, the personal accessories disappeared for no reason, I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's not good to startle the fourteenth brother by taking the liberty to deal with this slave now."

Kangxi thought about it after hearing this, so he asked, "Then, according to the crown prince, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Respond to the words of Khan Ama." Yinreng bowed beside Kangxi and replied, "The fourteenth brother seems to have something on his mind when he looks at him like this. If I can find a suitable time to talk to the fourteenth brother first , it would be better if we can know the crux of the problem, if we can’t ask, then we can think of other ways. The fourteenth brother has not been very strong since he came to the outside of the Great Wall last year, and it is unknown what he accidentally collided with. The shaman came to exorcise evil spirits..."

Kangxi nodded after listening, "Just do as you said, go talk to Shisi first, and we'll talk about the matter of inviting the shaman later."

"Hey." Yinrong responded.

Over there, Kangxi sent someone to take Sun Dongxi down, and told Yinzhen, "If you have time, you can often go and talk to Shisi."

"Hey." Yinzhen pursed his lips and agreed.

Yinti, who was immersed in his own world, naturally did not notice the changes in the outside world. With the jade pendant gone, Yinti felt a big emptiness in his heart. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the fact that he hadn't seen anything since that night. Dreamed of a shred of modern reality.

Can't go back just like that?Yinti was a little dazed.Then the joy of thinking that one day he would return to modern times, and the various preparations he made for thinking that he was going to leave, look at it now, but it seems like a silent irony to Yinti.

This feeling of suffocation was so painful that Yinzhen ignored Sun Dongxi's red and swollen forehead when he came back after leaving for a long time, and also ignored Yinxiang's worried eyes when he came to his tent.

Yinti felt as if he was in a world where all sounds were cut off, knowing what they were doing, he followed suit, but his heart was in a trance, unable to find a shore.

On this day, as usual, Kangxi hosted a banquet for the prince of Mongolia. As the prince, Yinti naturally had to attend the banquet, but in the second half of the atmosphere, Yinti only felt nausea in his chest and his face became paler, so he sent Sun Dongxi away. Yinti, who got permission after going to confess to Kangxi, left the meeting early.

After stepping out of the tent, the chatter and laughter at the banquet was gradually forgotten by Yinzhen. He took a deep breath, looked up at the stars in the night sky, turned his head and told Sun Dongxi, "Go to the Master get a pot of wine and lead a horse."

Hearing that Yinti asked for a horse, Sun Dongxi frowned, bowed his waist and said in a low voice, "Master, it's getting late and I can't see any scenery clearly. If the master wants to relax by riding a horse, why don't you go tomorrow. "

Yinzhen sneered and said to himself, "It would be worth it if I could go back after falling once." Then he said, "Forget it, go and get me a pot of wine. I look at the camp not far away and it seems There is a small river, let's sit there, master and servant."

Seeing that Yinti no longer mentioned the matter of riding a horse, Sun Dongxi heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately agreed wholeheartedly.

Sun Dongxi's mobility is quite strong, not only did he get a pot of wine, but also some side dishes to go with the wine.When Yinti saw it, he just smiled and took Sun Dongxi to the side of the small river, carrying the Matouqin he got from who doesn't know where.

Since it is outside the Great Wall, there are stretches of green grass everywhere, and the small river meanders in the middle of the meadow and flows into the distance. The sparkling water surface under the moonlight is like a dark blue long scarf sprinkled with broken diamonds.

Yinti found a rock and sat down, then patted the empty seat beside him, and said to Sun Dongxi, "Sit down."

The master is easy-going, but it doesn't mean that a slave can forget about it casually, Sun Dongxi smiled honestly, "Sit down, master, the slave will wait by the side."

Yinqi took a look at Sun Dongxi, "You can sit down as long as you want, why are you talking so much, why, I can't talk enough?"

"Of course not." Sun Dongxi could see that Yinti was in a bad mood, so he replied to Yinti while setting up the wine glasses and side dishes, "You are the master, how can a slave sit with you, this is against the rules."

"Then sit behind me, hurry up!" Yinti pointed to the seat behind him, with a vicious expression, "Why don't you deduct your wages!"

Yinti's nonsense words made Sun Dongxi a little dumbfounded, seeing him persist, Sun Dongxi sat down beside the stone with complacency.

Seeing that Sun Dongxi had sat down, Yinyu was satisfied, took a sip from the full wine glass, and then asked again, "Xiao Xizi, how long have you been by my side?"

Sun Dongxi gave Yinti some vegetables, "It's been six years since I returned to my master."

"It's been so long..." Yinti nodded and asked again, "Do you miss home?"

"Home?" Sun Dongxi's pouring hand trembled, and he smiled bitterly, "I don't want to go home."

"False." Yinti glanced at Sun Dongxi and said.

Sun Dongxi smiled, "The slaves are well fed and clothed in the palace, and there is still monthly money to take home. Master, you treat the slaves kindly. On such a good day, there is no need to miss home."

"Really, but you can't go home anyway, don't you miss it?" Yinti just wanted to find someone to talk to, otherwise he felt that he would be so depressed that he would explode, but he didn't understand why he chatted with Sun Dongxi like this topic of.

In Sun Dongxi's opinion, Yinti's question was just a whim, but this time Sun Dongxi didn't know why he couldn't speak anymore, and just sat aside with his head down.

Yinti didn't continue to ask any more questions, he just scooped up the matouqin beside his hand and asked Sun Dongxi, "Have you heard of this?"

Sun Dongxi smiled and nodded, "I saw those Mongolians pull this when they were sitting in a circle singing and dancing."

Yinti laughed and said, "Today I will also play a song for you."

Sun Dongxi also joked, "That's the slave's blessing!"

Yinti smiled, and after looking for the feeling, he really pulled it up. The mellow sound of the matouqin became more and more melodious in this quiet night.

Yinzhen came here following the sound of Yinzhen's horse head qin. Yinti, who was immersed in the music world, obviously didn't realize that he had a few more listeners, but Sun Dongxi found Yinzhen's arrival and quickly stood up, opening his mouth to make a sound. But Yinzhen stopped him.

Yinzhen just stood there so quietly watching Yinti scooping the tune with his eyes closed, which sounded a bit sad, and even, Yinzhen saw the sparkle flashing from the corner of Yinti's eyes.

At the end of the song, Yinti slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Just as Yinzhen's hand was about to touch the wine jug that had already been drunk, a voice sounded behind him, "Fourteen."

Yinti turned his head to look at the person who came, his lips curled up, "Fourth brother."

Yinzhen stepped forward to scoop down the jug in Yinti's hand, "I didn't see you in the tent just now, why did you come here alone?"

Yinti touched the strings of the Matouqin and smiled, "I feel bored with so many people, so I came here to get some air."

"It's getting late now." Yinzhen signaled Sun Dongxi to pack his things, "Go back, the dew is heavy at night, don't get soaked in the cold."

"Hey." Yinti responded obediently, stood up staggeringly and wanted to go back with Yinzhen, but just after taking two steps, was held back by Yinzhen, Yinti turned his head, "Fourth brother?"

Yinzhen held Yinti's arm, "Fourth Brother, please carry you back."

"Huh?" Yinti was a little taken aback.

Yinzhen rarely showed a smile on his usually expressionless face, "Speaking of which, I haven't carried you on my back since I was a child. If I don't seize the opportunity now, I won't be able to carry you in the future."

Yinti stared blankly at Yinzhen for a while, and then smiled brightly, "Hey."

Lying on Yinzhen's back, Yinti felt that Yinzhen's steps were very steady, one step at a time, although slow but not bumpy, his nostrils were filled with the pleasant smell of cold fragrance, which should be refreshing, but It made Yinzhen feel sleepy and fuzzy.

Feeling Yinti's shallow and even breathing on his back, Yinzhen asked, "Sincere not happy recently?"

Yinti replied vaguely, "No."

Yinzhen still gossips in the usual tone, "But fourth brother thinks you are unhappy."

Yinti turned his face sideways and stared at a point of nothingness, and said for a while, "Fourth brother, I had a dream."

"Huh?" Yin Zhen responded.

Yinti's voice was a little ethereal, "In my dream, I dreamed that we were all getting old, the eldest brother, the second brother, many, many, and me, were all old. But no one smiled at anyone. The fourth brother didn't smile at me either. Laughed, because I made the fourth brother angry by doing things, you drove me away and ignored me again. And those brothers, some will never see them again. Fourth brother, I am very scared, I I am afraid that you will ignore me, and I am afraid that I will never see other brothers again. Fourth brother, I will not do things that make you angry in the future. Don’t ignore me and don’t want me, okay? Fourth brother, our brothers will always be like Don't laugh at anyone now, okay? Fourth brother, I have lost one of the most important things in my heart. Fourth brother, I only have you guys..."

The fourth brother heard softly and softly in Yinzhen's ears, but there was a bit of sadness and a little bit of sourness.Yinzhen suddenly wanted to turn his head to look at his younger brother on his back, did his dark and bright eyes have been covered with mist?

But Yinzhen didn't do that in the end, and just pushed Yinti up, "You are my younger brother, and I will never want you if anyone wants you. Fourth brother has been by your side all his life, and he won't drive you away." Far away, you will always be by the fourth brother's side."

"En." Yinzhen hugged Yinzhen's neck tightly, his voice was a little choked, and he whispered against his ear, "Brother will always be by my side, forever."

When he said this, Yinti's eyes were tightly closed. He didn't know whether he was speaking to Yinzhen or to another elder brother who was separated by time and space.

He said so firmly, but his heart became more and more empty.
