share a glass of water with you

The gate of the palace has fallen.Rong Zhan has the privilege of walking around the palace, Xie Kuang is an important minister in the court, and he can face the saint at any time.

But the guards guarding the gate of the palace were somewhat troubled: "The emperor has an order today, no matter whether it is the prince or the ministers of the court, none of them are allowed to enter the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, a red light flashed in the distance, dyeing most of the sky red in an instant.

The guards stared blankly, Rong Zhan stopped talking to them and rushed in.

It was the emperor's bedroom that caught fire.The Fengxing Temple was engulfed in countless flames.When the palace people found out, they shouted and ran to bring water to save them. However, the fire became bigger and bigger, and half of the sky was illuminated.

Rong Zhan didn't care about other things, and ran towards him with the corner of his robe.

A person rushed out from behind, holding him tightly and dragging him back: "My lord, you can't go in, it's dangerous!"

The heat wave rolled up by the flames made the two people's clothes flutter, and the air was mixed with the smell of burning tung oil.The palace people tossed back and forth to splash water, but the flames still rushed out of the doors and windows, licked the pillars and cornices, and engulfed the entire palace.

"It's your master over there, but you told me not to rescue him?" Rong Zhan stared at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.

Xiao Ruan evaded, tearing from the smoke, gritted his teeth and dragged Rong Zhan back a few steps.

"Where's the emperor?" Rong Zhan calmed down slowly. "Where is the emperor?"

Xiao Ruan let out a cry, looked at the burning Fengxing Hall with his eyes, and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The main beam of Fengxing Hall suddenly broke, wrapped in flames and fell to the ground, and sparks flew all over the place.

There was a fire in the palace, alarming all the ministers to enter the palace overnight, water and oil were poured into Fengxing Hall, the fire was raging, and it was already impossible to save.

Everyone was at a loss what to do, and several veteran ministers stamped their feet and beat their chests, crying bitterly.However, the matter has come to this, and after a while of sighing, all the ministers had to disperse to the front hall to discuss.

Rong Zhan stood alone in front of Fengxing Hall and remained motionless.Seeing that the fire burned until dawn, it was not extinguished.The entire Fengxing Palace has been reduced to ashes.Without saying a word, Rong Zhan stepped into the ruins where the smoke still remained.

Xiao Ruan was terrified and afraid of making a mistake, so she followed closely step by step, persuading in a low voice: "My lord..."

Rong Zhan ignored him.Looking around, most of the previous decorations in the hall can no longer be seen.Even if there was any mechanism in the past, it was all burned and destroyed.

Rong Zhan's face turned blue, he discerned the direction, pointed to the southeast corner, and said fiercely: "Dig!"

The guards didn't dare to ask more questions, the prince dug as soon as he asked.

After a busy morning, almost the entire ground of Fengxing Hall was raised up.Really dug a secret passage.

There was also a burnt-out torch at the entrance.

Rong Zhan's eyes were cold, but his face softened a little.Gritting his teeth, he froze for a while, then turned around and went to the front hall with a flick of his sleeves.

The emperor left a confession letter in the imperial study.Put it together with the edict of the first emperor.All the ministers have already seen it first, and they can't help but have different expressions.Seeing Rong Zhan at this time, someone will pass it to him for circulation.

The emperor's letter is nothing more than a small beast, and it is written in one go.

The last edict of the first emperor is completely different from the speculation.After reading it, Rong Zhan couldn't help being slightly distracted, thinking for a while.

The crowd was silent, waiting for him with bated breath.

Rong Zhan put down the will, and turned to look at the panic-stricken ministers in the hall.The tone was flat, but what the courtiers said was unexpected: "Last night, the emperor was not in the Fengxing Palace."

Not in the Fengxing Palace, but the emperor is not in the entire Forbidden Palace either.

Rong Zhan was gnashing his teeth in hatred, the fire was a big shock, he told the people in the capital that the emperor was frightened and went to another courtyard to take care of his general and escape the summer heat.Secretly dispatch all available manpower to go around to find the whereabouts of the emperor.

"In this day's time, he still hasn't gone far, so he searched carefully around the capital." Rong Zhan said with hatred, but also with apprehension. "If you find it, report it immediately, don't be alarmed." Rong Zhuo made up his mind to use the golden cicada to get out of its shell, as if he was desperate.It doesn't matter if he escapes, but the body of the ninth younger brother can't bear to be displaced.

But after searching for three days, they almost sifted back and forth in a radius of dozens of miles inside and outside the capital.There is no trace of the emperor anywhere.

This is Rong Zhan's mistake.

Rong Zhuo made up his mind to really go far away.He escaped from the palace and did not stay in the capital for a moment. He had already prepared his boat and left the capital by water. There were so many boats going to and from Beijing. He changed boats several times in succession, and only chose an unremarkable boat to go, covering his whereabouts. Strictly.Such a non-stop day and night to raise the tent and go south, three days' work, already thousands of miles away.

This section of the waterway is gentle.Seeing that he was getting far away from the capital, Rong Zhuo stopped rushing and hired a two-cabin boat to go down the river.

The south is humid, and it starts to rain after nightfall.Only my own boat with lights left on the river.The boatman curled up in the bow and fell asleep, letting the boat float along with the current.

In the back cabin, the emperor couldn't sleep, he sat against the bulkhead, let Rong Xuan pillow on his lap, and looked at Rong Xuan's face in a daze under the dim butter lamp in the cabin.

When Rong Xuan woke up, he met such a pair of eyes that were staring at him firmly.For a moment, I was at a loss, not knowing where I was.

Rong Zhuo let out a cry, and after a flurry of hands and feet, he said cautiously: "Little uncle, is there any discomfort there?"

After being told this, Rong Xuan felt sore and weak all over his body.Slowly recalling the last scene I remembered, I suddenly stood up, trembling uncontrollably, and my face turned pale little by little.

"Little uncle..." Seeing that his expression was not right, Rong Zhuo wanted to reach out to help him, but held back.

"Your Majesty." Rong Xuan regained his composure, and when he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that even he was startled.

"I'm not the emperor." Rong Zhuo was silent for a while, sullenly.

Rong Xuan was astonished and looked at him in bewilderment.

"I won't be the emperor anymore." Rong Zhuo whispered.

These words sounded like a thunderbolt.Only then did Rong Xuan notice that Rong Zhuo was wearing ordinary clothes.The surrounding space is small, just spread bedding on the floor as a bed.Can't tell where it is.

Rong Zhuo reached out to help him, but Rong Xuan slapped him away.He was shocked and speechless for a moment.

"I won't be the emperor anymore, we..." Rong Zhuo said resolutely, before he finished speaking, his face hurt, and he was slapped in the middle of nowhere.

"You said, you're not the emperor anymore?" Panting slightly, Rong Xuan pointed at him, his fingertips trembling slightly.He almost couldn't help growling: "What can you do if you don't become the emperor?" The words came out, but even he was surprised.

Rong Zhuo was a little dazed by the slap, and stretched out his hand to touch his face expressionlessly.Stucking his neck for a while, he uttered a sentence: "I won't be the emperor anyway. It doesn't matter if you are farming or fishing. I will support you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Rong Xuan's sudden words, he even forgot the sadness in his heart for a moment. "You did this kind of thing?"

"Other people have lived like this." Rong Zhuo looked at him, but his tone was calm, as if he had eaten the weight and made up his mind.He brought a bowl of water from the small table next to him, before he handed it to him, Rong Xuan overturned it.

"Others are others, are you someone else?" Rong Xuan panted.The number of brothers has been cultivated and supported by countless efforts over the years, but he will not be the emperor if he says that he is not the emperor.He had just woken up, he was dizzy at first, but when he was stimulated like this, he suddenly became a little dizzy.

Rong Zhuo allowed him to say whatever he wanted to say, except that he said he was not the emperor, and he had nothing else to say.

Rong Xuan supported the bulkhead and stood up slowly.Finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Get out!"

"I'm not leaving." Rong Zhuo answered calmly.A pair of eyes are quiet, only watching his every move carefully.

The ground under his feet seemed to be shaking and unstable, Rong Xuanzhan slightly walked around him, and only took two steps, his feet were weak and he almost fell down.Rong Zhuo reached out to support him.

"We are on the river now, hundreds of miles away from the capital." Rong Zhuo waited for him to stand still, but refused to let go. "Where do you want to go? Wherever you go, I will go there. Otherwise, where I go, you will follow me there."

Rong Xuan trembled slightly, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"You go to sleep, I'll go out. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Rong Zhuo looked at him for a while with a suppressed face, and his tone softened. "There is hot porridge on the table, eat some if you are hungry."

When Rong Xuan was startled, Rong Zhuo let him sit down in the cabin.He took a coir raincoat and put it on himself, squatting down to the cabin door.
