Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

"it is good."

Obviously Lin Chongtan was not in front of my eyes, but I answered that sentence, as if he could hear it.

To Lin Chongtan, I feel guilty for a while and resentful for a while.I was born in the same year, the same month and the same day as him, and we met when we were 13 years old.Now I am 23 years old, and I have been entangled with him for ten years.

Lin Chongtan used to be the closest person to me in this world. I resented him, envied him, loved him, and hated him. To me, he was not only a laurel in front of the window, but also a gangrene.

It was probably because we were wrong when we met, and it was too wrong. It is also a good thing that we can set things right now.

That's fine, it's best to clean up the two, I don't want to see Lin Chongtan again in this life.

I looked at Song Nan, "Since the Qing Dynasty is in the Qing Dynasty, there is no need for his people to take me out of Beijing. He is now the shaman of the Northern Kingdom, and I am the Ninth Prince of the Bei Dynasty. Although the two countries have diplomatic relations, there is no need." Don't get too close. These days I have thought clearly, since I am the prince who was sacrificed by the blood and sweat of the people, I must not be selfish. Song Nan, I asked you before if you would follow me faithfully, and now I will ask you again, if I am determined to To overthrow the prince's party, are you still willing to follow me?"

The emotions in Song Nan's eyes turned firm at last, and he cupped his fists in front of his chest, "I am the only Ninth Prince who will follow my lead, and I will fight with thousands of troops until death."

"Okay, then I want you to stop paying attention to Lin Chongtan. If you refuse, you don't have to see me again." I stood up, "It's getting dark, it's time to ask someone to come in and light the lamp."

I once hoped that I could leave the capital with the people I cared about, but there is no king in the world, it is impossible for me to take Concubine Zhuang and the emperor to hide in Tibet for a lifetime, and people in the world are living so hard now, I can't either Live up to the emperor's trust in me.

The prince... He killed me first, and then put the blame on Lin Chongtan, and then he did not hesitate to poison my mother and concubine, and forced me to return to the palace. Look at the people living in dire straits.

What should I do.

Every September, there will be a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the palace, and this year's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is obviously much more low-key.I was standing in the chrysanthemum garden with the fourth prince beside him. He looked at the rough ore, but he was good at carving and planting flowers and grass.

He explained to me in detail how difficult it is to cultivate the Yaotai Yufeng in front of me. I glanced around and gave him a light hand, "Fourth brother, you drank so much wine just now, do you want to change?"

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized, "I was just about to tell you, you can go with me, let's chat and talk."

The changing place is in a remote place, the fourth prince kept the palace people from approaching to serve, and when there were only the two of us left, I lowered my voice, "Fourth brother, I have something very important to tell you."

"That's what you say." The fourth prince said.

"Father told me where the jade seal is."

My words made the fourth prince's eyes change suddenly, but he quickly went out to look out, and after a few breaths, he paced back, "Father told you this, then you..."

"Fourth brother, you should understand me. I never want to inherit the great rule. I don't have the confidence to be the lord of the people. But the current situation is very difficult and the world is full of turmoil. I can't back down. I'm going to take the jade seal to find Dong King Xuan, but fourth brother please help me leave the capital. Fourth brother should know that if I lose, the jade seal will fall into the hands of the crown prince, and there will be no turning back at that time."

I'm not sure how much the fourth prince is thinking about being emperor, but I want to leave the capital alone and go to Hanzhong by my own strength, which is not difficult.I can only ask the fourth prince to help me. Now that he has opened his mansion and made him king, he must have someone he can trust and use under his command.

The fourth prince didn't agree to me directly, he rubbed his hands, paced back and forth, and walked up to me again, "You have always been weak, you were raised in the palace since you were young, and you haven't even been outside a few times, this... This is too dangerous!"

"Fourth brother, there is no other way now. You should have noticed the refugees a few days ago. Now there are no refugees in the capital. Is it because the people's lives have improved? No, those refugees have been driven out of the capital. Even if they worked hard for this country, paid taxes, paid food, and served in the army."

My words made the fourth prince's words suddenly silent. I have been living in Tianji Palace, and I can notice the refugees. He is in Beijing, so he must have discovered it earlier than me, especially since he still goes to court every day and has contact with court affairs.

His chest rose and fell violently several times, and finally he raised his hand to hold my shoulder, "Congxi said yes, the flood is raging now, and I can't just sit back and watch. Don't worry, fourth brother, even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you Leave Beijing safely and arrive in Hanzhong. But there is no rush, we have to plan carefully."

The fourth prince replied that the stone in my heart was not much lighter, on the contrary, this road was an irreversible road for me.If it is done, it is good, if it is defeated, Yuxi will fall into the hands of the prince, and then there will be nothing he cares about.

No matter what, I can't lose.

Since I formed an alliance with the fourth prince, he will send me a handicraft every now and then. Of course, there are things hidden in it.Every time I finished reading the words on the paper, I would burn the paper so that no one else could see it.

Coincidentally, during this period of time, it is said that there are frequent movements in Mongolia, and the previous court is busy. Every time the crown prince comes to my place, he will leave after a short time, but there are more and more palace servants around me.

One day in mid-September, I served Concubine Zhuang after drinking the medicine and went to the study to read. An hour later, the palace servants rushed to my study in a panic. She tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground, but she dared not climb up. Get up, shivering in place, "Ninth Prince, the imperial concubine, she...she..."

"What's wrong with my mother and concubine?" I dropped the book in my hand, "Did she vomit again? She has been feeling sick to her stomach for the past few days, go and call the imperial doctor!"

As soon as I walked to the door of the study, I heard the palace servant yelling in a crying voice: "The imperial concubine is dead."

I froze on the spot, turned my head stiffly to look at the palace man who was speaking.After a while, I rushed to Concubine Zhuang Gui's bedroom. The inside and outside of the bedroom were already crying. I opened the curtain and stumbled to the bed. Concubine Zhuang was lying there as if she was asleep, but her complexion was paler than usual.

"Mother Concubine." I held Concubine Zhuang's hand by her side, "Mother Concubine, you should wake up from your afternoon nap. The weather is fine today. I will accompany you for a walk in the garden. You haven't left the palace for a long time. Mother Concubine Concubine... Mother Concubine..."

The hand I held was icy cold, and even if I pressed it against my cheek, it didn't heat up at all.

The palace people behind me were still crying, I had to look back at them, "Why are you crying? Niu Xi, let them all go out."

Niu Xi knelt in place and did not move.

"You... you don't listen to me, do you? Okay, I will teach you a lesson when my concubine mother wakes up." I looked at Concubine Zhuang again, "Concubine mother, look, these palace people are bullying my sons and ministers. Wake up quickly, this is Huayang Palace, they only listen to you."

"Brother." A pair of hands suddenly supported my shoulders, "Gu already knows about your mother and concubine, so don't be too sad."

I turned my head to look at the owner of the voice, as if I saw a life-saving straw, "Brother Prince." I grabbed his sleeve and looked up at him, "My mother and concubine are sleeping too deeply, so hurry up and call the imperial doctor over and call They all come here!"

The prince wanted to help me up, "Okay, the imperial doctors are here, you leave with Gu first, as long as they are here."

"I don't! I won't leave here, I want to guard my concubine mother." I pushed him away abruptly, but he came to hug me again.

"Brother, you leave here first, be obedient, as long as there is an imperial physician here." When the prince spoke, he glanced at the bedside, "There are still palace people here, and they will take care of the rest of the matter."

Tears welled up in my eyes, "What's next? My mother and concubine are just asleep, what are the next things to deal with? I won't go anywhere, I want to watch my mother and concubine wake up."

The prince's eyes changed again and again, and finally he let go of me, "Okay, Gu will sit with you."

I didn't reply any more, I just held Concubine Zhuang's hand and watched those imperial physicians come forward one by one, then knelt outside the screen again.I can't help but feel that the sky is completely dark, I wiped the tears on my face, "What time is it? It's very late, you go and prepare dinner, my mother and concubine will wake up later, and I want to eat."

After saying this, the crying in the hall started again, and I turned my head to look at those people, "Why are you crying! Why are you crying! I told you to prepare meals, why are you crying? If you don't want to go, I will go by myself."

I stood up to leave, but the prince caught me in his arms, he grabbed my arm, "I know you are sad, but it has been several hours, you sit here,

Without eating or drinking, my iron-clad body couldn't stand it. "

"I'm fine, I...I just want to wait for the concubine to wake up." I wanted to break free from the prince's hand, but he hugged him tighter, and his tone was more serious than before.

"Your mother and concubine have passed away. All the imperial physicians have seen you just now..."

I forcibly interrupted the prince before he could finish his sentence.I kept shaking my head, the tears in my eyes made me unable to see clearly, "No! No! She just fell asleep."

"younger brother……"

"Let go of me, I'm going to guard my concubine."

"Your mother and concubine will enter the imperial mausoleum according to the etiquette of imperial concubines, and everything will be done according to the rules. Although there has never been a precedent in my dynasty for a prince to send a coffin to the mausoleum, it may be your privilege." He eased his tone, As if trying to coax me, my body stiffened for a moment, and then I beat him in a breakdown.

"It was you, if it wasn't for you, nothing would happen to my concubine mother!"

The prince let me beat him, but told everyone in the palace to withdraw.When I was exhausted from crying and could only settle in his arms, a light kiss fell on my forehead.

"Brother, don't worry, Gu will treat you well."

This time I didn't push the prince away again, but I was really like a son who had just lost his mother and had nowhere to go, so he could only hide in his arms to seek comfort.
