The crown prince passed away and the imperial physicians all diagnosed the death as a result of poisoning. They said that the poison the third prince had administered at that time was too tenacious, and there were still residues after many days, and the poison penetrated into the heart and died.

But the queen couldn't accept this statement. She knelt down in front of the longevity hall of the king's bedroom and asked the emperor to find out the real culprit so that the prince could die in peace.

The emperor had no time to pay attention to her.Now he has only one son left, but he is the second prince who has never been valued and lacks experience in governing. He must safely hand over the government to this only son before he dies.

Although the emperor tried his best to cheer up and hoped to return to the west with peace of mind after the overall situation was stabilized, it was a pity that matters of life and death could not be under his jurisdiction, even if he held the world in his hands, he still could not escape death.

The day after Shao Jin entered the palace, he was granted the title of King De in order to inherit the Datong.

Prince Gu's posthumous title was Huairen.

Twenty days after the death of Prince Huairen, the emperor also fell into a coma.

Before he became seriously ill, he confessed that there was a prince of virtue to oversee the country, and the prime minister assisted him.

This is true in name, but Shao Jin lacks experience in governing, so the state affairs are naturally in the hands of the prime minister.

Qing Ping doesn't care about these things, all he wants to know is the news of Duo Shan.

What should Prince Huairen do after Duo Shan's death?How good has helped him so much, what can he do to help him?

No!Duoshan is so smart, he must have already arranged the way out, and he doesn't need the help of a fool.

However, he already wanted to know the good news and wanted to make sure that he was all right.

When he finally couldn't bear it and sent someone to the palace to inquire about the news, what he got was not very good news... The person he sent got acquainted with a person he had never seen before but who often appeared in his dreams. The dreams that this person appeared in were all nightmares.

... What a joy.

The little eunuch who led Duo Xilai to the Prince's Mansion didn't seem to know how to explain to him, and it took him a long time to say that it was Prince De who told him to do so.

Qingping's reaction was very calm. After greeting Duoxi briefly, he told his servants to clean the wing room and arrange for him to stay. Since it was the prince's intention, he would not say anything more.

Duoxi is still the same as he remembered, with a round face and naturally smiling lips, but it is more charming than in his memory. I think he has learned a lot of survival skills during the five years of staying with the prince.

When Duoxi heard that he changed his name to Qingping, he smiled with a complicated expression, and said to him with a touch of sadness:

"That was... supposed to be my name."

Qingping was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

Duoxi's words were like a knife piercing straight into his chest, and he didn't feel the pain even though it pierced so deeply, but his whole body was dizzy, so dizzy that he couldn't think, he was so dizzy that he didn't know the morning and evening, he was so dizzy that he even forgot how kind he was. care.

With the rightful owner, there is no need for him as a substitute, he... is useless.

One month after the death of Prince Huairen, the emperor finally woke up from a coma.

He summoned the prime minister and six ministers, asking them to swear to support the new master wholeheartedly, and ordered the prime minister to write down the will... After all the arrangements were completed, the emperor insisted on personally covering the imperial seal.

Then, the person in charge of the world held the imperial seal in his hand, smiled, and died.

***

On the night of the emperor's death, Qingping entered the palace from the Qiandi. The place where he lived was no longer Ganlu Palace, but Guang'an Palace prepared for the concubines.

Qiandi, which means Qianlong Mansion, is honored as Qiandi for those who ascended the throne as the emperor.

In Guang'an Palace, he lived far away from Duoxi's residence, but he could see the lights in Duoxi's house, he would rather not see it but see it.

After Shaojin has Duoxi, where will he be placed?Do you still need him?Or maybe he's useless...

During the enthronement ceremony the next day, Qingping neither saw nor heard any sound, since Prince Huairen's accident, he was always panicked, and often would be in a daze for a whole day, not knowing anything.

On this day, Qing Ping got up with aches and pains all over his body, and was thinking about where to go to fetch water to freshen up, when he heard someone outside the door, who came to report and pushed the door open, only to see three little eunuchs.

One leader, one holding a food box, and the other holding a hot water cloth towel, came to wait for him to groom and eat.

These young eunuchs were all dressed in strange white, Qingping only then remembered that they were still in mourning period.

"Little man Defu, here comes the son's meal." The leading eunuch bowed briefly to him, and then he had to kneel down after he was formally canonized.

Qingping straightened his clothes indiscriminately, wiped his face, and stepped back uncomfortably to make way for them to serve food.He has lived in this palace for so many years, and no one has sent him a special meal, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"The villain came here last night. I didn't dare to disturb you when I saw you were asleep." A young eunuch smiled flatteringly.

Such a respectful attitude made it difficult for Qingping to understand, how could someone please others.

Qing Ping nodded slightly but didn't respond, he didn't put on airs and didn't speak but he didn't know what to say. After seeing Duoxi, Green Cong seemed to have a big hole in his chest, feeling empty and uncomfortable.

The young eunuch shrewdly didn't say much, and felt like he was going to wipe Qingping's face with hot water.

When Qingping received the hot towel, he was still a little silly. Before that, in the county prince's mansion, there were beauties who did this for him... He was always the one who did these trivial things for Shao Jin.

There are a total of four dishes in the food box, and there is also a box of dried fruit snacks and a large bowl of soup, which is more than he can eat.

Looking at the table full of dishes, he didn't have any appetite, and seeing the people standing and waiting in that room felt uncomfortable, so he just ate a few mouthfuls of the whole table and drank a bowl of soup to forget it.

After eating, the person waited for him to rinse his mouth, said some flattering words together, and helped him fix the bedding before leaving.

He said he was retiring, but actually left someone waiting outside the door, for fear that he would have something to pass on at night. Due to his status change, no matter where he is from now on, just call someone and someone will come to wait on him. This is where power is charming. place.

The young eunuch had just retreated to the door, but Qingping suddenly remembered something and called him to stop.

"Defu..." Qingping thought about the name, and always felt that he knew this person.

"The villain is here." Telford hurried over to obey.

"Are you... Duofu?" Qingping looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face suspiciously. He and Duofu had never lived together in Peach Palace before, and the apprentices were far away, but they always played together. Had some impressions.

"Yes, the villain's old name is Duofu, and he was fortunate to have stayed in Peach Palace for a while." Defu respectfully reported.

Although they used to have the same identities, they are not what they used to be. Qingping is the son of the new emperor, and he is a concubine just around the corner;

Qingping was speechless, he didn't know that the child in Peach Palace had changed his name as a eunuch, and he didn't know who Duofu served later, in fact, he didn't know anyone except the whereabouts of the four of them who were selected as sons During the time in Ganluyuan, he didn't pay attention to anything except Zhang Luo's daily life.

All of a sudden, the old days came to my mind, the carefree days in Peach Palace, the poor but down-to-earth life in Ganluyuan, the happiest thing is that Shao Jin became the king of the county, and he prepared hot water for him every day bath.

Why does Prince Huairen have to die? It would be nice if the prince didn't die.

Fate is always unsatisfactory.

***

He didn't fall asleep that night, but sat by the window and looked at Duoxi's place, the figures in Duoxi's room, the guards outside Duoxi's door, and the candles in Duoxi's room being extinguished...

Then he found that his eyes were so hot, but his face was cool and damp, and the dampness would not dry no matter how much he wiped.

The taste is so salty and sour.

He thought that he and the second prince were just relying on each other for warmth, and he didn't know that he had already mourned Shao Jin, loved him so deeply, Shen Shen was unwilling to lose him no matter what.

But, can't stay.

***

Qingping dries up her tears and unconsciously falls asleep. When she wakes up, the room is dimly lit again, announcing that morning is approaching.

Defu came to wait on him with mourning clothes, saying that today is a family sacrifice and he must attend, so Qingping let others lead him to the deceased emperor's spirit like a wandering soul.

There, he saw Shao Jin from a distance. He was also dressed in mourning but obviously different in style. He led the crowd to stand at the front, shouldering his responsibility as a king and a son.

A few concubines stood in front of Qingping and wept uncontrollably. Next to him was a middle-aged man with complicated expressions on his weather-beaten face. It was not clear whether it was sadness or resentment.

It was only later that Qingping found out that he was the son of the former emperor when he was the prince. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not want to enter the harem and chose to enter the officialdom. He has been an official in other places for more than ten years. His rank is not high but others dare not touch him.

According to his rank, he should not be able to enter the palace, but before his death, the late emperor ordered him to come back to participate in the family sacrifice, and everyone dared not refuse.

The first emperor confessed ten things before his death, but in these ten things he was called back, the depth of emotion can be seen.

It is clear that the king is very kind, but this man has been a county magistrate for more than [-] years, instead of staying in the palace to serve the late emperor.

These words are all heard from one ear to the other, all he cares about is Shao Jin, he just wants to take a good look at Shao Jin, he looks a little thinner but very energetic, and his whole body is full of majesty Now, faintly revealing the emperor's demeanor, he really looks like an emperor.

But to him, Shao Jin is Shao Jin, and there will be no difference because of the change of status; but the man in front of him is no longer the second prince who lives in Gan Luyuan and doesn't even have a pair of shoes.

He stared blankly at Shao Jin, wanting to go over and say something to him, it doesn't matter what he says, he just wants to look at him, look at him carefully, to make sure that Shao Jin still has his presence in Shao Jin's eyes .

But till the end of the family sacrifice, Shao Jin didn't even glance at him, let alone had the opportunity to say a single private word.

During the family sacrifice, there was only one woman's voice resounding throughout the audience—the Queen Mother.

What she said was very simple, but it exploded like a cannonball, making everyone's scalps numb.

"...Prince Huairen can't die for no reason, you have to give me an explanation a hundred days ago."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, Shao Jin stood there with a complicated expression, Qingping wanted to say something, but was stopped by the attendants and asked him to go back to Guang'an Palace to avoid causing trouble.

Listening to those words, Qingping had the illusion of being slapped, and his heart was full of sadness.

He is nothing.

On the way back to Guang'an Palace, he suddenly stopped and looked at Defu.

"If you have a chance, go and serve Duoxi. Seeing that the wind is blowing towards him, sooner or later you will mold and rot with me if you stay here." He said gently, with melancholy in his eyes.

"No, the emperor has been busy for a few days now..." Defu comforted.

"You and I both know that the emperor liked Doxi when he was still the second prince, and he is such a stubborn and persistent person. It is not difficult to understand this feeling. Instead of following me, a yellow flower of yesterday, it is better to be more down-to-earth with Daxi. You used to have a good relationship with Duoxi, please beg him to take him in," Qingping analyzed calmly.

Although it doesn't understand the disputes in the palace, it understands Shaojin, understands Shaojin and can't forget Duoxi.

"I dare not." Telford panicked.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. People are supposed to climb up, so why should you stay with me and sink."

After all, Dove was still young, so he didn't know how to respond to these words.

Qingping didn't want him to respond, and walked back to her side.

Only now did he realize that the bitterest days in Ganluyuan were the sweetest.

When he got up the next day, he saw the other party leading someone to bring breakfast.

"Morning son, I understand that breakfast is here for you."

Sitting on the bed, Qingping was speechless, and smiled lightly.

But... the people who came this day were not only Duofu, but also Eunuch Sun who was beside Duoshan.

Eunuch Sun knelt down in tears and begged him for help, saying that Duo Shan was banned by the emperor, and he might be given death at any time.

Qing Ping was surprised, how could Shao Jin suddenly ban Duo Shan, it doesn't make sense?

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Qingping stepped forward to help Eunuch Sun. In his heart, Eunuch Sun was still serving the elders who took special care of him in Peach Palace.

Eunuch Sun grabbed Qingping's hand and refused to get up, insisting that Qingping agree to help.

"I will help if I can, but you have to explain things to me." Qing Ping frowned, unable to understand why Eunuch Sun was in such a panic.

Only then did Eunuch Sun get up and told how kind things were.

While listening to Qingping, he walked towards Duoshan's residence, but the more he listened, the more his heart sank.

This morning the emperor sent people to surround Duo Shan's residence, but they didn't have an accurate statement, but they looked like they were going to blame Duo Shan for the poisoned death of Prince Huairen.

No matter what Eunuch Sun said, Qingping just shook his head, no matter what, he didn't understand how the matter turned to Duo Shan, and how could Duo Shan poison Prince Huairen, it's too preposterous!

Walking into the East Palace, you can only see the forbidden army surrounded, and the security is so strict that not even a fly can fly out.

At first the soldiers and guards refused to let Qingping enter, saying that the emperor had ordered no one to enter, but later they hesitated when they heard that he was Qingping, several people gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally let him go.

Qing Ping was extremely surprised, he never knew that his name could be used as a token envoy because of his mana, it seems that these people still don't know that he fell out of favor, and it was Duo Xi who was about to be favored by the king.

But since he was able to enter the East Palace, how could he destroy himself, of course he didn't say anything.

After entering the house, Duo Shan was still the beautiful woman in his memory who was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was always lazy, and it was not at all obvious that he was in a difficult situation and was about to face death.

Duoshan just smiled when he saw him, took his hand and sat down, saying that he had left two taels of good tea waiting for him to drink.

Qingping just stared at Duoshan in a daze, thinking for a moment that nothing happened, that Eunuch Sun lied to him, but Eunuch Sun's sadness and panic and the murderous look of the guards outside the gate were so real, it really upset him I can't help but believe, I believe how good I become a sinner.

He never thought that there would be such a day when he would sit at the same place drinking tea with Duoshan, but the identities of the two were switched.

Duoshan still has that calm and cold appearance, and he doesn't care even about his life and death.

"Why did I bring you here?" Duoshan lazily rested his head on his hands and looked at Qingping.

"There must be... there must be some misunderstanding." Qingping said tremblingly.

How could Duo Shan kill Prince Huairen? At that time, the former emperor was about to die and the prince loved him so much. It was impossible to have any status in the future. The glory, wealth, and supreme power were all close at hand. How could he kill Huairen with poison? Prince Ren!

"I did it." Duoshan confessed the crime so lightly, so lightly, and so calmly.

"Impossible." Qingping shook his head no.

Duo Shan just smiled, he knew that he didn't need to say anything more, Qing Ping would accept everything eventually.

"Prince Huairen dotes on you so much, why do you do this? It doesn't make sense at all!" Qingping still shook his head in disbelief.

"I have a reason to do it." Duo Shan smiled so calmly, but looked at him with a rush of nostalgia and sadness.

"Impossible, it must be others who trap you and injustice." Qingping still didn't believe it.

"You go back, this matter has nothing to do with you, it would be bad if you were involved." Duo Shan gently persuaded.

"You don't say I won't leave." Qingping still shook his head.

"I just want to advise you, if you have the opportunity to leave the palace and become an official in the future, don't stay, don't say that Duoxi is not a pure and good person, what will you do if the empress enters the palace in the future?"

Qing Ping didn't listen to what he said, he had to explain clearly if he was stubborn.

"You don't use these words to prevaricate me, what is going on?"

Duo Shan could only smile wryly, and there was pain and distortion on his always cold face. He didn't care about life and death, the only thing he couldn't let go of was Qingping, only Qingping.

"Young master doesn't talk about old slaves."

Eunuch Sun, who had been standing beside him all the time, strode forward, as if he was going to righteousness.

"Back off! You don't have the right to speak here." Duoshan scolded.

But Eunuch Sun is so kind to listen to, if you don't say it now, don't you have to wait until the person dies to say it!

"Sir, it's not all for you..."

"Shut up!" Duoshan yelled loudly, his expression stern.

Qingping was stunned, he had never seen Duoshan speak so harshly.

Eunuch Sun continued as if he hadn't heard it.

"Did you think that the people in the imperial dining room at Ganluyuan didn't know that you were taking things? The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were all first-class and expert, so how could they bring you the bad things that were made all day long? That's so kind The son was ordered by someone; do you think that the emperor was better than the prince Huairen back then, and the prince was neither troubled nor angry, and even the king of the county did not stop him? The son did not know how many good things he said for the emperor behind the scenes..."

Qingping was speechless.

Although he didn't know the details of the matter, he knew how kind he had been to him all the time, and he was very grateful. There was no need for Eunuch Sun to remind him of these things. Could it be that he was an ungrateful villain in the eyes of Eunuch Sun?

"Shut up! Don't you even listen to me?"

Duo Shan slapped the table angrily.

"Forgive me, old slave. If it wasn't for the young master asking for an imperial doctor back then, there would still be an emperor in this world. The emperor would not only ignore the old feelings, but kill the young master..."

"It's a capital offense to spread your words." Duo Shan shook his head.

"My son has done so much for him, why don't you let him know anything, even let him beg for love? What is this! The old slave is not worth it for your son." Eunuch Sun pointed at how kind and unfair Qingping was.

Qingping didn't understand what they were talking about at all. Could it be that Duoshan did something for him?For some reason, an extremely uneasy premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, and he always felt that he would not want to hear the next words.

"Whether it's worth it or not is not your turn to talk." Duoshan said coldly.

Eunuch Sun ignored his brave words and continued on.

"Did you take care of me when you were living in Peach Palace? It would be enough for you to write money for that matter. Why should you bother to worry about you? This time is also the same. If it is not for your son, why would you need it?" Give up the position you are about to acquire, if it weren't for you, the one who is enthroned as emperor now would be Prince Huairen..."

Hearing these words, Qingping's mind was in a mess. What did Eunuch Sun say?Did he really hear correctly...?

How kind to poison Prince Huairen for him?Why?

Qing Ping looked at Duo Shan, hoping to find the answer from that beautiful face, but Duo Shan turned his head away and refused to look at him.

"My son loves you alone..." Eunuch Sun finally said such a sentence.

It was as if Qingping had been hit from the back of the head with a stick, and he was completely dumbfounded.

How much do you love him?

How kind to... him?

He repeated in his heart that it was impossible hundreds of thousands of times, but there was a small voice that firmly said that Duo Shan really loved him, and all the past memories came to his mind one by one. He didn't feel that Duo Shan treated him well. , he once felt that it was too good to treat him too kindly, but he never thought that it was because he loved him.

Suddenly, Qingping recalled the day before Prince Huairen passed away, when he had breakfast with Duoshan, Prince Huairen saw him, and probably also saw the picture of Duoshan holding fish for him, and guessed that Duoshan loves him fact.

Is this why Duo Shan poisoned Prince Huairen?Because the prince is angry and wants to punish Duo Shan, Duo Shanhao strikes first.

or is it...

Or he was the one that Prince Huairen wanted to kill, and Duoshan had no choice but to kill him in order to protect his life, trading his own bright future for his life.

He should have discovered that Duo Shan loved him long ago, so Duo Shan suddenly told him many years ago that he would give him whatever he wanted... But he doesn't want to be so kind to be rich and rich, and he doesn't want to be so kind to his life!

"Why..." Qingping shook his head, two lines of tears fell down his cheeks.

Do-sun doesn’t respond to his question, just repeats the passage.

"Don't ask me about my business. The emperor won't listen to you. If you have the opportunity to be an official in the future, you should leave the palace earlier. The palace is a place where people cannibalize. You will suffer disaster sooner or later if you stay here."

Qingping just cried and shook his head, refusing to obey.

Duoshan frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and couldn't help wiping away the tears on Qingping's face with his hand. Looking at Qingping's two dedicated eyebrows, a deep pain eroded his heart severely.

"Don't cry." Duo Shan comforted softly.

As early as when he fell in love with Qingping, it was impossible for them to stay together, but he still hoped to give Qingping more and be happier.

However, he found that Qingping didn't want anything, as long as...

"Don't cry, it's not worth it." Duoshan gently stroked Qingping's tears, Qingping's tears made him more afraid and uncomfortable than death.

Qingping looked away.

"I'm going to beg the emperor!" Qing Ping left this sentence and got up and ran out.

Duo Shan's palm is still held in the air, but Er Qingqian's warm touch is empty, and Qingping is someone he can't hold in the end.

Why would he fall in love with such an unattainable person?

***

Qingping was not familiar with the various places in the palace, but he still had a certain idea of ​​where to go, so he found the upper study room not long after.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, he just happened to meet Shao Jin who moved from his bedroom to his study.If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to see Shao Jin at all until now.

In fact, Qing Ping didn't call out to Shao Jin, he just stood there looking directly at the bright yellow robe on Shao Jin's body, and Duo Xi behind Shao Jin, feeling a strong sense of sadness welling up.

But Shao Jin noticed his gaze, noticed his complicated and unspeakable gaze, looked up and saw despair and sorrow on Qingping's face.

"You can't kill Duo Shan." Qing Ping's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Shao Jin frowned and asked the guards to step back for now, and told Duoxi to go to the study first, he didn't want to have a conflict with Qingping here, let alone arguing with Duoxi.

"It's up to Hailun not to make up your mind about what I've decided." Shao Jin said a little annoyed.

"You can't kill Duoshan." Qingping said again, his eyes slowly turned red, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Go back! You have nothing to do with this matter." Shao Jin didn't want to get angry with Qingping, he had enough things to deal with during this period, and he didn't want to quarrel with Qingping again.

"The imperial doctors all said that the crown prince died of poison, why did La Duoshan resist his life?" Qing Ping suddenly knelt down. "I beg you, it doesn't matter if it means him going to guard the tomb or sending him to the frontier, don't kill him."

Shao Jin was so irritable that he wanted to beat someone up, now it's all right, even Qing Ping is here to force him!

He has his difficulties, not being the emperor can do whatever he wants, what the empress dowager wants is a kind life, is it useful to send him to guard the mausoleum?

Qing Ping knelt down, not seeing Shao Jin's increasingly serious complexion, so he continued speaking unscrupulously.

"I've been with you for five years without merit or suffering. I don't want this concubine, please let me go. Besides, if you didn't help me a lot back then, you might have died already."

This indeterminate sentence made Shao Jin's irritability and anger rise to the highest point.

"You are blackmailing me!"

The extremely angry voice made Qingping stunned, and Fang realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he wanted to say something to make up for it, but Shao Jin was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left, ignoring him any more.

Qingping felt infinitely distressed, he couldn't help but think about what would happen if Ruolai interceded and met Doxi?Shao Jin loves him so much, and still thinks about him after five years, Shao Jin will definitely listen to Duo Xi's words, unlike him, it is extremely difficult to meet the king.

Qingping didn't leave, but knelt in the study room and hoped that the current emperor would change his mind. He didn't believe that Shao Jin, who had been in love for five years, didn't take it seriously.

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, Eunuch Sun suddenly came over and shook his head at him.

"Stop kneeling, I shouldn't ask you to beg the emperor."

Qingping was speechless.

"Go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the son for the last time when it's too late." Eunuch Sun seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. He really hoped to use Qingping to get a chance for the son of Duoshan, but he forgot Qingping to ask for the possibility As a result, his relationship with the emperor deteriorated.

"The last...face?" Qingping frowned, he didn't understand.

"The emperor has given you a white silk..."

Before he finished speaking, Qingping had already set off to run back to the East Palace, not even caring about the soreness and numbness of his feet, he threw himself down a few times and then hurriedly got up, fearing that he would not see Duoshan if he was a step too late.

When he came to Duoshan, a beauty stopped him, and when he entered the room, he only saw a dazzlingly white white silk hanging in the air, Duoshan, who was as beautiful as a fairy in his lifetime, stuck out his tongue long and his face was ashen.

Qingping's eyes went dark, and he couldn't think about anything.

Why does Duo Shan fall in love with me...
