The prince in the cold palace

Yin Wuyao looked at the boy helplessly trembling his shoulders, his smooth black hair was a little disheveled by the running around for several days, his slightly longer bangs covered the expression on his face, and his slightly shrunken body was thin and thin, which could make people feel uncomfortable. People are easily imprisoned in their arms.

That child is not gentle in his dealings with others, people who are not familiar with him would not even say a word, the palace people said it was weak and dull, but Yin Wuyao knew that it was a barrier built between him and others by Zhi Fei It took him about three years to get angry, helpless and other fresh expressions on the boy's face.

In the past three years, he has seen him smile, he has seen him worry, he has seen him angry, and he has seen him indifferent.

I also saw how he did his best and earnestly after he came into contact with power, and he was never greedy for profit.

In the past, he didn't care about this son with the word "waste" in his name, and let him fend for himself.

But now, Yin Wuyao felt that he was locked out of the wall again, not only because of frustration, but also because of two words that could never appear in his dictionary.

regret.

Especially when he saw Zhifei and Danhe chatting and laughing freely, the tormenting feeling became even stronger, so strong that he whipped the horse on the horse's back violently, causing the body to shake violently one time.

The emperor with good self-control couldn't control the turbulent emotions in his chest for a while, he had never seen Zhifei teasing others.

There is cleverness in mischievousness, and freedom and ease in jokes.

Such obstinacy, I'm afraid even the people closest to him in the palace have never seen it.

That is the real stubbornness, the stubbornness that no one has seen hidden under the weak appearance.

Yin Wuyao smiled wryly, "I'm so stubborn, so stubborn, I feel like I've never gotten to know you well."

How can Zhifei now look like he was joking just now?

That helpless and thin figure made Yin Wuyao's palms feel cold, he took a step forward unconsciously, and as soon as he took a step, he heard Zhi Fei almost shouting at him, "Don't come over!"

The voice that came out of the arms encircling him was indescribably desperate.

Don't come here, leave me alone, and be quiet for a while.

Zhi Fei slowly raised his head, looked at Yin Wuyao who was still standing there with some reluctance, and walked towards him step by step. Expressionlessly, he pulled out the thin paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is a letter from the Mu family to his son, and the emperor can serve as physical evidence of the crimes committed by the Mu family."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, "Mu Danhe cooperated with the Mu family just to borrow their plan to save my mother and concubine, can you let him go? Trust me, the lives of the mother and concubine are also in your hands. Uncle and I will not betray Da Zhou or you."

His eyebrows were low and his eyes were pleasing to the eye, with a businesslike tone.

Although standing very close, the focus of Zhi Hua's sight never fell on Yin Wuyao's body, and occasionally Yin Wuyao moved, Zhi Hua trembled like a frightened little animal.

The movement is slight, but the resistance is so obvious.

A burst of anger rushed into his head, Yin Wuyao crumpled the piece of paper in his hand, squeezed it firmly in his palm, and twisted his brows into a word "Chuan", "Does Xiaoqi hate Father so much?" Waste turned his head to one side, "...I just don't like the feeling of being used from the very beginning."

After thinking for a while, Zhifei said again: "You are a well-deserved emperor. You have no plans to spare, and you are scheming... Zhifei is stupid. Next time, the emperor will use Zhifei. Can you let me know in advance?"

With a bit of aggrieved tone, as if she was coquettish with the other party, she curled her lips obstinately and annoyed.

But in front of someone who has been plotting against you since birth, it is impossible to understand him no matter what. I don't want this expression to be captured by Yin Wuyao, thinking it is a deep disgust for him.

Yin Wuyao's heart is already in a mess.

The rustling sound in the forest made the emperor's eyes a little more complicated. He took out the human skin mask and put it on again, with an undisputed expression.

He returned to the groom's dry and black appearance, smoothed the hair of the slightly restless horse, and then sighed.

Turning around, he said to Zhi Fei who was still standing there, "Since Xiao Qi has said so, then Father wants you to persuade Mu Danhe to turn around and go to the Mu family forces in the northwest."

Zhi Fei lowered his head and let out a "hmm" with some difficulty.

"Also, I will follow you all the way, and I cannot reveal my identity to Mu Danhe."

Zhi Fei nodded lightly, and didn't ask Yin Wuyao why, the emperor always has his considerations, as a pawn, as long as he is obediently used.

He, mother and concubine, Zhiqin, Zhimo...all of them are pawns of the emperor.

If he could hold a little power in his hands, would he be able to change this fate?

However, the unfathomable emperor has used his tactics and strategies to the fullest. He, the crown prince, is just a puppet in name only.

Thinking of this, Zhi Fei felt more disgusted in his heart, he didn't want to give up on himself, but in front of Yin Wuyao all his thoughts were stuck together like paste, so he could only follow his most primitive feeling.

Sometimes, facing the emperor who is occasionally gentle and unusual, Zhi Fei has an illusion that he can be trusted.

Yin Wuyao was absolutely unambiguous in dealing with state affairs. He talked with Zhifei several times at night, and they talked very late. thick robes.

Fingers caressing the furry fabric, which was taken from the fur of wild animals and carried the incense commonly used by emperors. This kind of care and kindness made Zhifei unknowingly invest more and more in the affairs of the state.

However, now it seems that this kindness is not as pure as I imagined.

Born in an emperor's family, shouldn't one be more psychologically prepared? Because Zhifei has never been able to find proof of his life, he let his weakness go and didn't go into it.

Thinking of this, Zhi Fei felt that he should thank Dan He for allowing him to break through the shackles and find himself when he was on the verge of death.

Zhi Fei hugged the dry branches he had picked up from the ground, piled them into a pile, took out the firewood from his sleeve, and lit the pile of firewood.

Before the sun set, the red crane had already returned, holding a few pheasants with bright feathers in his hands. He didn't know that the groom was Yin Wuyao, so he called the groom to go and pluck the feathers of the pheasants with him, and strung them up with branches. Set up a simple rack, put the skewered chicken on it, and roast the fresh and tender meat bit by bit over the bright fire, gradually turning golden brown.

Seeing that one of the skewers was almost burnt, Dan He took it off the shelf, handed it to Zhi Po, and said to him with a smile, "Be careful of burning."

Zhi Fei took the meat skewers, thanked Dan He, opened his mouth to bite, Dan He raised his hand to stop him, and took out a small cloth package from his bosom, which contained small black particles. Fei looked at him puzzled, only to see that Danhe crushed these granules into powder with one hand, sprinkled them on the roasted pheasant that Zhi Fei had roasted, and the fragrance wafted.

"It smells so good..." Zhi Fei leaned closer and smelled it.

Danhe smiled and sprinkled the remaining powder on the shelf, "I just found it in the forest, Zi Suzi, there is no salt here, and birds can fade out of my mouth just eating meat!"

Zhi Fei smiled and tore off the meat, and gave half of it to Dan He.

"Dan He, tell me about my concubine mother, she has never mentioned her past to me." Zhi Fei asked while eating and looked at Dan He.

I don't call him uncle because he doesn't look like him. Danhe's straightforward personality and the unique spirit of a young man don't have the calm demeanor of an elder. He really doesn't look like it.

Danhe seemed to be recalling something interesting, and smiled softly, "When I was young, I often got into trouble, and my sister was not polite to teach me."

"Ah, mother and concubine will also teach people unceremoniously?" Zhi Fei's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he urged Dan He to continue talking. Laugh out loud.

"Your expression is very similar to that of my sister. Every time my sister tries to talk to me, she always looks at me like this." After speaking, Danhe couldn't help reaching out and gently touching the corner of Zhifei's eyebrows. eyes, but they are different people.

Zhi Fei looked at him suspiciously, but wanted to continue listening and couldn't bear to interrupt.

Across the fire, Yin Wuyao looked at the two opposite people with deep eyes.

The pheasant was almost eaten, and the story was almost finished. Zhi Fei smiled contentedly, and suddenly remembered something, and grabbed the corner of Dan He's clothes, "Shall we go to Mu's house in the northwest, I want to go and see The place where the concubine once lived."

Dan He frowned, "No way! I finally got out of there, you kid still want to jump into the fire pit?"

Zhi Fei smiled and said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"Are you not going back to the palace?"

"I don't want to..."

"Who begged me to take him back then!?"

"It was at the beginning, and now is now. Didn't Danhe also say that there is nothing to go back to a place like the imperial palace?"

Dan He pursed his lips, he didn't want to argue with Zhi Fei anymore, after spending two days together, Dan He couldn't speak a few words in front of Zhi Fei, and he couldn't take advantage of his words.

He simply excused himself by saying that it was getting late, and Zhi Hua was half pushed, half threatened, and got into the carriage. It was very cold in the woods at night, and Zhi Hua was thin and injured. Dan He was afraid that he would get sick from the cold, and asked him to stay Overnight in the car.As for Danhe himself, he slept overnight with the dumb groom on the spot where the branches had been burned.

During this period, Zhi Fei never even glanced at Yin Wuyao.

The careless red crane extinguished the fire with sand, cleaned it up, spread out the straw mat, and patted the groom on the shoulder to invite him to sleep with him.

Although Yin Wuyao, who had the appearance of a groom, looked at the carriage with the curtain hanging down with a hint of anger, he still lay down and slept with Danhe.

When I woke up in the morning, the carriage was already running on the road.

To Zhi Fei's surprise, they did not follow the original route to the south, but to the northwest.

Zhi Fei opened his eyes wide and looked at Dan He, Dan He rubbed Zhi Fei's hair triumphantly, "Hey, I thought about it last night, what the boy said is good, instead of running away like a mouse crossing the street, why don't you just follow him?" They had a good fight."

"How do you know how to fight and kill..." Zhi Fei glanced at Yin Wuyao who was sitting outside the carriage, and leaned towards Dan He subconsciously.

Danhe looked at Zhifei's small movements inexplicably, not understanding what happened between him and the groom that made Zhifei so vigilant.
