Snow in Chang'an in December

?The little palace supervisor hurried into the palace where Shen Ningfeng lived, and saw Ning Huai and Shen Ningfeng sitting on the chair together at this moment, the little palace supervisor didn't think much about it, and only reported what he saw in the prison to Shen Ningfeng Ning Feng.Ning Huai saw Shen Ningfeng's expression getting worse after hearing the words, he was sure that Shen Zixu was acquainted with Shen Ningfeng.

Ning Huai twirled the teacup between his fingers, he didn't pay much attention to what the little palace supervisor said, after a while, Shen Ningfeng who was sitting next to him suddenly got up, and Ning Huai couldn't help but follow his movements. Turning his head, he saw Shen Ningfeng stepping out of the hall.The man didn't even say goodbye.

That's all.Ning Huai smiled, put the teacup on the table, then stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes with his sleeves.

In the middle of winter, the wind was fierce, and many exotic flowers and plants were planted in the palace, but since the day when Shen Ning was sealed back to the palace, those exotic flowers and plants had withered a lot. Looking at it, it is snowy and the dead branches are falling, but it is a lonely winter scene.

He didn't know how long he hadn't entered the prison, when he ordered someone to open the prison door, when he hugged the cold Shen Zixu into his arms, he almost cried in a low voice.He originally planned to release Shen Zixu from the dungeon on the day when he came to the world, but he never imagined how Shen Zixu's body could withstand such a bitterly cold climate.

Shen Zixu's face was still pale, and his thin lips that hadn't drank water for some time were cracked and oozing blood, Shen Ningfeng held his hand, only raised his head and said to the servants standing outside the prison: " Find the imperial physician for this king! If he dies, you have to bury him with him!" His eyes were red, his tone was ferocious, he was really like a ghost, and the servants were all terrified when they heard the words, but seeing They bowed to Shen Ningfeng and then walked out.

Shen Zixu, you must have nothing to do...

Shen Ning closed his eyes, and couldn't help crying anymore. He hugged Shen Zixu, buried his head in his neck, and sniffed the fragrance of herbs that never faded from that person's body.

He hugged him and cried for a long time, and suddenly heard: "Six Princes." Shen Ningfeng slowly raised his head, he followed the reputation to see that the imperial doctor had arrived, then he raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, Standing up with his hands behind his back, he looked down at the imperial physician kneeling in front of him.

"You harmed me, I can forget about it for now."

The imperial doctor trembled, and after hearing the words, he kowtowed several times: "Thank you, my lord."

"Now show me what's wrong with him." Shen Ningfeng's eyes were still red, and after he finished speaking, he closed them.

The imperial physician responded, kneeled closer to Shen Zixu, stretched out his hand to feel his veins, and after a while, the imperial physician relaxed his brows.

"Go back to the prince, he is fine, but he is afraid of the cold, just add a few more stoves in the prison."

"En." Shen Ningfeng flicked his sleeves lightly, only to show the imperial physician to step back.

He leaned down and looked at Shen Zixu's unopened eyes. He couldn't help stretching out his finger slowly, and stroked it from the brow bone. He looked at his eyebrows and smiled slightly. The lips fell to the brow bone.

"Zixu, your eyebrows look really heroic." He kissed Shen Zixu's forehead lightly like a splash of water, as usual, not daring to wake this person up too much.

He knew that he came in a hurry today, he didn't even put on his veil, he didn't dare to linger any longer, he just stared at Shen Zixu's face for a while, then turned and left slowly.He thought that if Shen Zixu knew who caused the Shen family to be like this in the future, maybe he would hate himself...

Thinking of this, he shook his head, only sighed that he thought too much, how could that person know?But if that person insists on not staying in the future, what can I do... Should I imprison him, or should I cripple his legs and keep him by my side forever?Shen Ningfeng slightly pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, but the smile was extremely bitter.

The new year finally came before I knew it. On New Year's Eve, I heard that the emperor was about to die, but the decree has not yet been handed down. Now there are only a few princes who can survive in the palace, and each of them is fighting each other for the position of the crown prince. , slander and frame up, win people's hearts.No matter how careful Shen Ningfeng was, he would eventually be seen through. He was sent by the emperor that day, and the imperial doctor followed. He didn't know who told the emperor that he was pretending to be crazy, but he knew that if he was found out, he would definitely be caught. Committed the crime of deceiving the king.

Don't talk about the crown prince, even if you don't know if you can keep your head.

After all, he was also a fortune teller, and he was terrified for a few days, only to hear that the emperor would not pay any attention to this matter, so he also forgot about his promise to Ninghuai that day. He was not a kind person, let alone he had no intention of agreeing to it .In the next few days, his heart was even more chilled. In addition to framing him, someone actually wanted him to die.

Cautiously walking step by step, just to ascend to the supreme position as soon as possible, and be able to see the world as a minister as soon as possible. He thought, if the day he came to rule the world, would Shen Zixu still leave him half a step?

Until the middle of the night, the order had not yet been handed down, Shen Ningfeng put on the veil and then went to the prison, the palace was already deserted, even on New Year's Eve, he never felt half festive and half lively, walking through the corridor, he saw the distant place There was someone walking towards him with a glazed lamp, Shen Ningfeng stopped his steps and only watched that person walking towards him.

"Third brother."

"It turned out to be the sixth brother." Ning Huai smiled, and his tone was slightly joyful, "It's cold today, why didn't the sixth brother rest earlier?"

Shen Ningfeng sneered, why should he talk to him?So Shen Ningfeng flicked his sleeves lightly and walked across Ninghuai River.

Ning Huai was meaningless, he just stared at the glazed lamp in his hand and said slowly: "I heard that Concubine Shu has a secret letter in her hand." He paused for a while, but couldn't hear Shen Ningfeng's answer, and then continued, " The contents of the letter presumably have something to do with the Crown Prince." After finishing speaking, he turned around and couldn't help but smile at the figure of Shen Ningfeng in front of him.

"I think, father may have already made a choice."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ningfeng was taken aback, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Didn't Ning Huai always want to compete with him for the position of crown prince?

"It's nothing, I was just sighing." Ning Huai smiled, and only walked towards his bedroom, and did not forget to seal the Tao with Shen Ning when he left, "Sixth Brother, you can rest earlier."

Shen Ningfeng looked at Ning Huai, and felt it was funny for a while, the man said at one time that he should become emperor no matter what, and at another time said that his father had a choice.Shen Ningfeng sighed, and quickly walked to the prison with his hands behind his back.

He had already seen Shen Zixu sitting in the prison in the distance, at the moment when the stove was burning brightly, Shen Zixu's cheeks were also slightly flushed, when he saw Shen Ningfeng, he was a little strange for a moment, and after a while he came to his senses , Shen Zixu saluted immediately, he knelt on the ground, and said straightly that he was so stupid that he didn't recognize that it was the sixth prince.

Shen Ning was silent, he had long been used to Shen Zixu treating him so humblely in recent days.

"Shen Zixu, I want you to guard this country for me in the future."

Shen Zixu heard the words, and then widened his eyes in surprise, "My lord, how can a grassroots man be able to..." Shen Ningfeng interrupted the words before he finished speaking——

"I want you to be buried with my bones after you die."

Shen Zixu parted his lips slightly, already not knowing how to respond.

After a long time, Shen Zixu kowtowed his head and replied softly: "Okay." Even though he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he couldn't help himself, Shen Zixu smiled bitterly, and he found that the person in front of him was becoming more and more terrifying.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Ningfeng asked.

"Cao Min laughed at the other princes as stupid children who dared to compete with the prince for the crown prince."

Shen Ningfeng knew in his heart what he said was false, he clearly saw that his smile had no hint of sarcasm, Shen Ningfeng put his hand behind his back, just lowered his head and smiled lightly: "You are smart." There was no sign of appreciation in his tone .

The two were silent for a while.

Suddenly, Shen Ningfeng said: "I can hand over this country to you, as long as you stay by my side, you will live forever, are you willing to accept?" His tone was as calm as water, and he did not give up at all.

He thought that if the country fell into the hands of Shen Zixu, he would assist him to become a hegemon for thousands of years and rule the world.
