brother princess

The.

"Your Highness?" Wei Ming watched his back gradually disappear into the darkness, and suddenly felt pitiful.

There was almost no light in front of him, but Chu Jie still walked forward step by step.This is the road he has traveled thousands of times, and he is so familiar with it that it is engraved in his bone marrow.After turning over a wall and a window, it is the place that carries almost all the memories of him and Jing'er.

He lay down on the bed, unable to see anything with his eyes, he could only feel Jing'er's smell lingering faintly in his nose.He turned over, hugged the quilt tightly, buried his face in it, and sobbed softly.

Why couldn't he keep Jing'er in the end?Why does everyone have to separate him and Jing'er, even God?What did he do wrong?

He remembered a dream he had before, in which everyone wanted to take Jing'er away, but he could only cry and watch Jing'er gradually leave his sight, powerless.Could it be that he was wrong to like Jing'er in the first place?

He unconsciously thought of many, many things in the past, his heart twitched one after another, tears kept flowing into the bedding, and a large area was wet.

After crying for a long time, he didn't know when he fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, Jing'er, who was still a child, stretched out her little finger, "Then let's make an appointment." He awkwardly stretched out himself to hook the little finger, and asked, "Why do you hook your fingers?"

Then the grown-up Jing'er tilted her head and smiled brightly at him, "Because I'll hook you up like this, and I won't leave you. No matter what, I will stay by your side."

He gently caressed Jing'er's face, "I will do what I say."

Jing'er's expression gradually changed, becoming sad and painful, "I'm sorry."

He paused, feeling a panic in his heart, "Don't say sorry! You will keep the agreement! You have nothing to be sorry for me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The voice repeated one after another, with a low crying tone, lingering, like a whirlpool sucking him in.

"Jing'er!" The eyes opened suddenly, the strong light outside made the eyes half-closed, and tears flowed out.

It took him a while to open his eyes again, looking at the familiar bed curtain above his head, and then showing a faint smile. In fact, he just had a nightmare, right?Look, he is lying on Jing'er's bed now, Jing'er must have woken up early again.As long as he turned his head, he could see Jing'er practicing horse riding with the stool as a stake, and when he woke up, Jing'er was about to come down from above, but jumped too fast and fell.

But he didn't turn his head for a long time, still looking at the bed curtain, as if there was something on it.Slowly, tears welled up again, slid down the corners of the eyes, and disappeared into the temples.

He believed that Jing'er was there, he just didn't want to let Jing'er fall again.

That's all.

☆, imprisoned

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened, and the door hinge made a "beep".Chu Jie paused and immediately sat up from the bed!

Someone came in, but it was Concubine Su, Chu Jie's eyes dimmed, and he laughed at himself for not wanting to face reality.Concubine Su was a little surprised when she saw him, then lowered her eyes as if she understood.

Speechless for a while.

Concubine Su spoke first, "The funeral is in the afternoon."

"……Um."

The two fell silent again.After a while, Concubine Su raised her head, "Do you hate me?"

Chu Jie looked at her haggard face and said nothing.

"sorry."

"In the final analysis, it's my fault for liking Jing'er, isn't it?" Chu Jie pulled the corner of his mouth, but didn't smile, "I'm going back."

"His Royal Highness," Concubine Su called him, looking at his tired and slightly hunched back, "This afternoon, I know you don't want him to be buried in the Liang family's family tomb, but I still hope you calm down and let Jing'er go well." Bar."

Chu Jie knew that she was worried that he would lose control like last night, but he just paused and continued walking without any response, and he didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed.

Back in the East Palace, as soon as Chu Jie entered the door, he knew that the atmosphere was not right! "What happened?"

The little eunuch who was asked did not expect Chu Jie to ask a question suddenly, and his body tensed up, "Your Highness, the emperor's guards are waiting for His Highness in the lobby."

"Guards?" Chu Jie frowned, knowing in his heart that something was wrong, but he quickly regained his composure and walked towards the lobby.

"I've seen His Highness before you." Upon entering the lobby, a line of guards saluted in unison.

Chu Jie looked at them expressionlessly, "The emperor's personal guards have come to the East Palace, there must be something serious?"

A tall guard stepped forward, and Chu Jie recognized him at a glance as one of the guards who were there when Wang Rong was forced to confess his guilt. He still had a cynical smile and said, "Your Highness understands very well. , I'm just afraid of Your Highness..."

"He Tong!" With a low shout, the tall man fell silent immediately, and then a man who was not tall but quite aura came out of the queue, "Your Highness, the reason for coming here this time is that the emperor wants to see His Highness, and let the humble people wait for you." Take Your Highness there."

"Oh?" Chu Jie sneered, "Actually, it's an escort?"

The short guard didn't answer directly, but cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please come with us."

Chu Jie stared at him for a while, "Let's go."

The guards were divided into two groups, walking in front of and behind Chu Jie respectively, as if they were escorting prisoners.The short guard and the tall guard He Tong just walked at the back, looking at the back of the calm Chu Jie, He Tong tilted his head, "He knows that this trip is very dangerous, why is he still here?"

"You know that your mouth is cheap and there is no cure, why do you still have to speak out?"

He Tong showed an extremely hurt expression, "Xiaocheng, you..."

Fu Shicheng grabbed his cheeks and said expressionlessly, "What did you call me?"

"……team leader."

"Take care of your mouth, being a guard is not for blowing your tongue."

"...Yes." He Tong shrugged his ears and lowered his tail like a dog doing something wrong, and fell silent, so this "team" arrived quietly all the way to the emperor's bedroom, Longyan Palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

After a while, the door opened, revealing Wu Shun's tired face, he looked at Chu Jie, "Please come in, Your Highness."

Chu Jie went in, followed Wu Shun, and walked in the direction of the dragon couch.Chu Xing was lying on the bed with a pale face. When he saw Chu Jie, he called Wu Shun to help him sit up.

Chu Jie just looked at him coldly, didn't say anything, not even saluted.

Chu Xing met his gaze and said, "Do you hate me so much that you are about to strike? Don't you think it's a pity——I didn't die!"

Chu Jie looked irrelevant, "Are you saying that you almost died?"

Chu Xing sneered and said, "If the imperial physician hadn't arrived in time, I would have been poisoned to death by you."

"Am I poisoned? Am I stupid?" Chu Jie sneered, "You will die sooner or later, and the throne will belong to me sooner or later. Why would I do such a stupid thing?"

It is rare for Chu Xing not to be furious about Chu Jie's disobedience, "Jing'er is so important to you, don't you want to avenge Jing'er?" Chu Xing's expression became disgusted, "What about you and Jing'er? Don't think I don't know about the dirty things!"

Chu Jie's eyes instantly turned cold, "You want to marry Jing'er in a hurry because of our relationship?"

"I don't have sex with my elder brother, such a shameless person staying in the palace will only pollute the royal land—"

"Shut up!" Chu Jie was furious, grabbed Chu Xing by the collar and almost lifted him up! "You are not allowed to insult Jing'er!"

"Your Highness!" Wu Shun, who was at the side, was shocked, and rushed to dissuade him, "Your Highness, please calm down! Calm down!"

Chu Xing looked at the strong killing intent in Chu Jie's eyes, and felt as if he had confirmed something in his heart. "Last night you looked at me with the same eyes, huh. Come on! Take the prince down! Put him in the dungeon!"

The guards waiting outside broke in immediately, Chu Jie let go and let Chu Xing fall back on the bed, the sternness in his eyes has not faded, "You will regret everything you have done!"

Chu Xing sneered, "Even if there is such a day, it's a pity that you won't be able to see it."

Chu Jie stared at Chu Xing in a confrontational manner, finally turned away, turned and walked out, and the guards immediately followed.

"Your Majesty." Wu Shun supported Chu Xing who was limp, "Are you alright?"

Chu Xing's body is still in a weak state, and the confrontation with Chu Jie is actually more about holding on.He gasped for breath a little, and it took a long time for him to relax.Wu Shun helped him to lie down, "Your Majesty, you should rest, your condition is not stable yet."

Chu Xing watched Wu Shun tuck him in the quilt with a worried face, and suddenly sighed. "Wu Shun."

"The slave is here."

"Do you think I am a failed father?"

Wu Shun stopped moving, "Your Majesty?"

"None of my princes and princesses seems to be close to me. Besides, so many children, Xun'er, Xun'er, and Jing'er are all dead, and Xun'er is almost there. Heh, is there any emperor like me who raises children like me?" There are so many rebellious sons?"

Wu Shun lowered his eyes, while Chu Xing continued: "I think, maybe in the end, I will become alone."

Wu Shun suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty! I will follow you forever!"

Chu Xing was startled, then smiled. "Wu Shun, you can always make me feel at ease. I thought before that if you were a woman, it would be fine, then I will marry you alone for the rest of my life."

Wu Shun lowered his head, tears suddenly fell down, "It is Wu Shun's greatest honor in his life to be favored by the emperor."

Seeing Wu Shun crying, Chu Xing raised his eyebrows, "How old are you, and you still cry."

"I'm sorry." Wu Shun hurriedly wiped his eyes and stood up, "Your Majesty, please rest, this servant is going to order someone to decoct the medicine."

Seeing the back of Wu Shun walking out in a hurry, Chu Xing sighed lowly, not knowing why he changed his mind.

Along the way, Chu Jie didn't show any signs of struggling or trying to escape, so the guards sent Chu Jie to the prison very smoothly.

The jailer locked the lock, and the guards went out with the jailer.But before he had gone far, He Tong, who was at the end, jumped back again.He held the door, and said in a joking tone, "Your Highness, since your deadline has come, why can't you ask me a question? In fact, Wang Rong was wronged back then, right?"

Chu Jie tilted his head, his gloomy eyes looked even more dangerous under the light of the prison, he looked at He Tong, but didn't speak.

He Tong didn't ask any further questions, but changed another topic with a smile, "Hey, is it true that Your Highness is having an affair with Princess Jing? Is it because the princess is dead and you don't want to live anymore, that's why you didn't resist?"

Chu Jie's eyes moved slightly, but He Tong suppressed his smile and became serious, "If it were me, and the person I like was killed, I would kill those who killed her first."

"He Tong!" With a low shout, Fu Shicheng came over, twisted He Tong's ear and dragged him away!The pain caused He Tong to scream "Captain Captain", his voice echoed in the empty and cold prison, it was indescribably shrill.

Chu Jie looked at the position where He Tong was standing just now, and after a while, the hands beside him clenched tightly into fists.

☆, different numbers

Princess Jing's send-off team was killed in an attack, and the wedding in Liang's mansion turned into a funeral overnight.Soon, the prince attempted to poison the emperor and was imprisoned for treason.

The news spread, sympathy, sigh, emotion, curiosity, people all over the world hold their own ideas.There was also a fortune-teller who murmured, "The sky is about to change." Before anyone asked him, he put away his banner and stall and left, and he never appeared again.However, this is what people preached later, so it is impossible to know whether it is true or not.

If there is such a fortune teller, then he is supernatural, because it will be as he said before long.

There was no light in the sky prison, only a torch that seemed to be extinguished in front of the prison door illuminated a small area, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.Chu Jie sat cross-legged on the wooden bed covered with thin cotton wadding, looking at the almost black wall opposite him, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Highness."

A low call came, Chu Jie turned his head, and saw Wei Ming standing outside the prison door.He seemed to have expected it a long time ago, without any fluctuations in his expression, "Are you here?"

Wei Ming nodded slightly, and opened the door with the key. "What are your plans next, Your Highness?"

Chu Yu on the bed remained motionless and did not answer Wei Ming's question, "How was Jing'er's funeral?"

"Nothing happened. I was buried in the Liang family's family tomb as a female family member of the Liang family."

Chu Jie let out a low laugh, whether it was a sneer or a wry smile, "After so much effort, he still became a member of another family in the end."

"...Your Highness?"

Chu Jie slowly straightened his legs that had been coiled for an unknown amount of time, leaned back, and made a relaxed posture.He looked at the ceiling, "Are you curious that I attach so much importance to Jing'er? Actually, he is the one I like."

Wei Ming was a little surprised, "But didn't His Highness say that the person he likes is a man..."

"Jing'er is not a princess." Chu Jie looked down from the ceiling and smiled, "Surprised?"

Wei Ming did have a hellish expression—this was the most incredible thing he had ever heard in his life, "Yes."

"I was surprised when I had this knowledge." Chu Jie said, as if thinking of the past, the smile on his face gradually faded.Wei Ming didn't open his mouth to interrupt his thoughts, and the prison became quiet again for a while.After a long while, Chu Jie said: "Wei Ming, do you think that Jing'er's attack is actually related to my wrongful poisoning?"

Wei Ming paused for a moment, then his mind changed, "You mean, someone wanted to provoke you with Princess Jing's death, and make the emperor think that you hated him, so if you poisoned him, your Highness is the most suspect."

"Well. If this is the case, then that person definitely knows the relationship between me and Jing'er, and getting rid of me will bring him great benefits." Chu Jie looked at Wei Ming with sharp eyes, "If I die, Who is the biggest beneficiary?"

Wei Ming opened his mouth in disbelief, "You mean... His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince?"

"Among all the princes, the eldest brother and the fourth brother are dead, the eighth brother and the eleventh brother are still young, and only me and the fifth brother are adults. If I die, the crown prince will most likely fall into his hands." Chu Hsu got off the bed and straightened his clothes slightly, "However, this is still speculation, it's still early to make a conclusion."

Wei Ming frowned, "Then what should we do next?"

"There is only one thing that matters now." Chu Jie stepped out of the prison door, his eyes changed, it was the bloodthirsty eyes of wild beasts, "Kill the king!"

When she opened her eyes, Chu Jing only felt pain in her head and chest, and the bed behind her was so hard that her back was so hard. There was still a strange smell mixed with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine and some slightly pungent smell in her nose...

Where is he? !

"You've finally woken up," came a girl's voice, "I thought I'd throw you away if you fell asleep again."

Chu Jing turned her head, and saw a girl with two braids pouring out a bowl of food, which brought an unpleasant smell, which made Chu Jing cover her nose!Seeing his reaction, the girl immediately kicked the foot of the bed viciously, "Get up and drink the medicine! If you can't drink it, I'll do it!"

Chu Jing could see that she wasn't joking, so she quickly sat up, but the wound on her chest was pulled, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"You don't know how to be careful when you're injured, you're an idiot!" The girl rolled her eyes in disgust, and pushed the bowl of black medicine over.

The strong stench from the bowl rushed out, making Chu Jing sick for a while. "Are you sure you didn't boil the medicine?"

"You said I was overcooked?" The girl's voice was suddenly high-pitched, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "My lady, as a miracle doctor with a radius of a hundred miles, you actually questioned the medicine I cooked! Do you want to drink it? Don't drink it from me!" Just fall on your head!"

"Drink, drink!" Chu Jing hurriedly held the bowl, and swallowed those unknown things all at once!After emptying the medicine bowl, Chu Jing looked at the girl almost hopelessly, "Thank you, miss."

The girl took the medicine bowl away and went outside to wash the dishes.When she came back, Chu Jing on the bed flicked at the unfamiliar clothes on her body, "Girl, my clothes..."

Hearing this, the girl seemed to have seen the murder of her father and enemy, and she grabbed the clothes on Chu Jing's chest as soon as she put down the bowl, "I have never seen such a shameless person like you! What kind of skirt is a big man wearing! He blinded me!"

Chu Jing looked at the vicious girl and didn't know what to say except "I'm sorry".

The girl let Chu Jing go after she sprayed out her shock, disgust, disgust and anger when she saw the man's naked body//body to Chu Jing.Seeing that the girl seemed to be calmer, Chu Jing said in a low voice: "But girl, is this your dress? Can you give me a male one..."

"You want me to go to a clothing store to order clothes for you?!" The girl turned her eyebrows coldly again, "I'm kind enough to save you! You still want me to serve you thoughtfully! What a beautiful idea!"

makes sense.Chu Jing smiled awkwardly, but when she lowered her head, she saw a familiar package on the bedside.With a thought in his heart, he reached out to pick up the package and opened it, and took out a crystal clear jade bracelet, "Please take care of me, girl."

The girl's ferocious eyes straightened instantly!She snatched the bracelet, looked at it in the direction of the light for a while, and then quickly stuffed the bracelet into her bosom! "Hey, what color do you want the clothes to be?"

Chu Jing concluded that this is a girl who is irritable, arrogant, and self-respecting, but she can let go of everything if she has money.

☆, moon pity

It was dark all around, only the faint moonlight cast into the grove through the gaps in the sparse branches and leaves.He was short of breath, the injury on his chest was still throbbing, and he couldn't tell the direction before his eyes, but he couldn't stop to rest.The whining sound of the wind passing through the forest in his ears, and the sound of dry branches being trampled under his feet, always gave him the illusion that someone was chasing him behind.

Suddenly, something seemed to be tripped under his feet, and the whole person fell forward!Chu Jing was startled, and her eyes opened instantly!

Looking at the shape of the dim roof tiles above his head, although Chu Jing's breath was still very short, his hanging heart had already dropped.

He dreamed of horrific scenes of his escape that day.

He adjusted his mood that day, and the moon rose in the sky, so he got up and searched for the woman's body by the faint moonlight.Finding a female corpse that was not too different in size from his, he took off his wedding clothes and exchanged it with the other person. In order to confuse him better, he held back his nausea and guilt and stabbed the person's face with an arrow.He briefly bandaged the wound for himself, then tore off a piece of cloth, and wrapped some valuables on people's bodies—because the dowry was gone, he could only do this.And when he walked not far away, he heard a large group of voices behind him, and when he turned his head, the sky was filled with flames.He was afraid that those people had come back, so he immediately quickened his pace and fled.Later, it seemed that he collapsed and passed out in the grove, but Yue Lian picked it up, which was a fate.

The door opened suddenly, letting in the faint light from outside.Turning around, Chu Jing saw Yue Lian coming in with a heavy medicine pot, then sat down in a corner, set up the medicine pot, and started to light the fire.

"I said you must decoct the medicine here?"

Yue Lian didn't expect him to wake up, turned her head and said: "This is the place where medicines are decocted. You have no place to put them, so I reluctantly set up a wooden plank for you here. But then again, you are so early today?"

Hearing that she was treated so lowly, Chu Jing rolled her eyes, "Because you woke me up."

"Noisy?" Yue Lian suddenly yelled! "You have to slap you every day to wake up, but now you say I woke you up?!"

Chu Jing: "..." After getting along for several days, he still didn't understand why she suddenly became irritable.

"Shut up and go to sleep! When I finish the medicine, pour a bowl on your head and wake you up!"

Chu Jing: "...You should just slap me."

"Come here! I can slap you right now!"

"..." Chu Jing decided to change the subject, "By the way, how about the sword?"

"Why are you so anxious? Do you think it's so easy to forge a sword?"

Chu Jing smiled awkwardly, "The wound healed quickly, so I wanted to advance the schedule..." He paused, then raised his voice, "Who made your medicine so amazing?"

"Ha, you kid won't be happy even if you compliment me!" Yue Lian said, but Yue Lian's tone was obviously cheerful, "Since you want to schedule ahead of time, I will reluctantly help you to make a sword Master."

Looking at Yue Lian's face illuminated by the fire, Chu Jing suddenly felt very lucky to meet her. "Thank you, Chu Jing, Miss Yue Lian!"

Yue Lian fanned the fire, "You don't need to say thank you, just keep the silver chain in your package."

Chu Jing: "..." If this goes on like this, his money back to Beijing will be swallowed up!

"However, didn't you intend to stay?" Yue Lian looked at the fire, her eyes flickering slightly in the light of the fire. "Looking at your ragged clothes and blood stains, you passed out in the woods. You must have been hunted down or something. This is a small village, and it's relatively closed. If you stay peacefully, you'll be fine for the rest of your life."

"Did Miss Yue Lian take a fancy to me and want to keep me?"

Yue Lian glared at him immediately! "I'm just giving you advice to survive! Whether you go or not is none of my business!"

Chu Jing laughed, "It's just a joke." After laughing, his eyes moved to the open door, as if he was looking into the distance. "I want to go back because the person I like is there. He must have thought I was dead and must be very sad, so I have to go back and tell him that I am still here."

"If your enemies know that you are not dead, are you not afraid that you will kill her together after you go back?"

"I protect him."

"Tsk, it would be nice not to be the first to be hacked to death." Yue Lian shook her head with a look of contempt.

Chu Jing smiled, and the two of them didn't talk anymore, only the occasional beeping sound of the fire was left in the room.After an unknown amount of time, an unpleasant smell of medicine wafted out.The smell seemed to be able to break the silence, Yue Lian suddenly said: "When are you going to leave?"

Chu Jing paused, touched her chest, "Well...after five days, the wound is almost healed."

"Okay." Yue Lian stood up, "Come here and watch." Then she looked outside, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, "You can turn off the fire and pour it out after cooking until the sun comes out."

Chu Jing was a little surprised, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go get some more medicine, and I'll let you take it away when it's ready." Yue Lian waved her hand and walked out as she spoke.

Seeing her handsome back disappearing in the direction of the door, Chu Jing chased after the door after a while and shouted, "Miss Yue Lian! Chu Jing will never forget your kindness in this life!"

Yue Lian, who hadn't gone far, turned her head when she heard the sound, and shouted viciously: "Go back to the old lady and guard the medicine!"

But Chu Jing, who was some distance away, didn't see it, but she was smiling at the moment.

☆, leave

In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

That day Chu Jing woke up early, and went out after eating the porridge, steamed buns and soup that Yue Lian had prepared on the table. Seeing Yue Lian setting up a bamboo plaque for drying medicinal materials in the yard, she walked over to help.Seeing him pick up a bamboo plaque, Yue Lian immediately screamed: "Put it down! I'll do it myself! Don't mess up my order!"

Chu Jing froze in embarrassment, then put the bamboo plaque back embarrassingly under Yue Lian's sharp eyes.

"Go away! Go away!"

Chu Jing pursed her lips, "Understood." Really, there is a certain order in drying medicinal materials, and Virgos are still obsessive-compulsive.

When Yue Lian was ready, she stretched her waist, and then walked over, "Are you leaving?"

Chu Jing nodded, "Well, you should be able to reach the town when it gets dark."

Yue Lian nodded slightly, "Come here and get your luggage, I've prepared it for you."

Chu Jing hurriedly followed Yue Lian, smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm really bothering Miss Yue Lian! Chu Jing is very grateful!"

"Tch." Yue Lian just rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Yue Lian packed Chu Jing's clothes, dry food, jewelry that had not been looted, medicine for wounds, and a sword.Chu Jing picked up the sword and drew it left and right to look at it, "Wow, this sword is not bad."

"Naturally, Master Li from the village head was a famous swordsmith in the capital!" Yue Lian raised her head triumphantly, as if she was the one who made the sword.

Chu Jing laughed and said, "It's a sword made by famous masters. It seems that I have to be careful when using it."

"Don't say that you can cut it off." Yue Lian gave him a contemptuous look, then took out a small bag from the low cabinet next to it and threw it to Chu Jing, who caught it and found it heavy. "This is some silver, take it with you. Your valuable jewelry is of no use without a pawn shop."

Holding the money bag, Chu Jing showed a very moved expression, "Lord Yue Lian! You are so kind to me!" He thought she would only search for him here, but he didn't expect that he would be in the eyes of this money-loser. Scrooge got a bag of silver here!

"Ha, who calls me nice?" Yue Lian snorted triumphantly, "Now that you've got all your things, let's go. I'll take you to the entrance of the village. When you get out of the village, go straight east."

Chu Jing nodded, carrying a huge burden on her back, raised her sword and walked out with Yue Lian.But before walking a few steps, Yue Lian said "wait a minute" and then ran back into the house.

When Yue Lian came out, she had a delicate half mask in her hand. "This is left by my master, and I don't need it, so I will give it to you."

She stood still in front of Chu Jing, and put the mask on Chu Jing.The mask seems to be specially made for Chu Jing, and it fits well.After putting on the mask, Yue Lian looked at Chu Jing in a daze, her hands resting next to Chu Jing's ears without making any further moves.

Chu Jing saw that she was weird, "Miss Yue Lian?"

Yue Lian's eyelashes trembled, then she lowered her eyes and withdrew her hand, "Put on this mask so that your enemies won't recognize you."

Chu Jing smiled, "Got it!"

Yue Lian also smiled, "Let's go."

After leaving the small village, Chu Jing traveled quickly and arrived in the town within a day.

Yue Lian said that after passing this town, you can reach the capital by continuing to move forward.It seemed that he thought he had run a long distance, but in fact he didn't have much distance.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chu Jing found an inn to stay.Although he was wearing a mask and looked a little suspicious, but as soon as he took out the money, the shopkeeper's hesitant eyes immediately disappeared! "A room on the third floor has been arranged for the guest officer, please over there!"

After putting down the luggage, it was soon time for dinner. Chu Jing went downstairs. There were many people in the lobby, and it was very lively.He found a relatively out-of-the-way place to sit down and eat, but the gossip of a few people over there still came over.

"Tomorrow the new emperor will ascend the throne, the scene must be spectacular! I really want to see it!"

"Tch, just think about it! You can go to the palace if you want?"

"Hey, how about we climb the palace wall?"

"Stupid you! Don't get caught before you climb up!"

The young man who proposed to climb the wall curled his lips, "I'm strong in martial arts, so I'm sure... hey, hey!" The young man's voice changed completely after he finished speaking. He kicked the legs of his two partners, and they followed his gaze. Looking around, I saw a masked person standing next to them, and my body tensed up in fright!

Chu Jing knew that she had frightened them, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm just curious about the enthronement you said, and just want to ask. There is no malice."

The young man in black was the first to relax slightly, "Are you from another place?"

Chu Jing nodded, and the young man in black smiled, with a faint sense of superiority in his eyes, "I see, it must be a very remote place, right? The news hasn't arrived yet, so you don't even know."

They seemed to feel that this was their territory, and the two of them relaxed accordingly.Chu Jing smiled and said, "Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course!" The wall-climbing man said first, "A few days ago, the emperor said that he would live in seclusion in the mountains and abdicate to the crown prince, so the palace prepared for a while. Tomorrow is the day of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony!"

Chu Xing actually wants to live in seclusion in the mountains?Chu Jing frowned slightly. With his character, how could he be the emperor until his death? What happened?

The only young man in Tsing Yi who hadn't spoken yet seemed a little upset, curled his lips and said: "What is living in the mountains and forests, there is something else hidden!"

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

"Who would leave the throne and live in seclusion? Unless you're stupid!"

Chu Jing nodded slightly, "So?"

"So?" The young man in Tsing Yi looked at Chu Jing as if he was mentally handicapped, "Isn't my point obvious? The emperor must have dementia to live in seclusion!"

Chu Jing: "...hehe, what this brother said makes sense."

It would be more reliable for him to ask Chu Jie directly.

☆, fighting

Stretch your arms and wear a dragon robe.The maids around were busy, but Chu Jie was almost like an outsider.He looked at himself in the mirror indifferently, as if looking at a stranger.

"Your Majesty," Wei Ming walked in, "All the preparations for the grand ceremony are complete."

Chu Jie nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest cheerful expression, Wei Ming smiled helplessly, "This is what I should do."

The palace maid brought the crown, and Chu Jie picked it up and put it on, and it moved slightly because of the movement, which was a little dazzling. "Let's go."

"Yes."

The enthronement ceremony has begun.The new emperor sat on the dragon chair, and all civil and military officials of the dynasty knelt in with the crown of gun. After that, each of them held a wat and knelt down again to proclaim loyalty and filial piety.All kinds of complicated etiquette occupied most of the content of the ceremony.By the end, almost everyone was exhausted.

It was not until the end of the ceremony that Chu Jie left the hall, and the crowd dispersed quickly.

Chu Jie was a little tired, but he refused to take the sedan chair to walk on his own, so Wei Ming and his attendants could only walk slowly behind him.

"Your Majesty." Someone called from behind, Chu Jie turned around, but saw that it was Chu Qi.

"Uncle?"

Chu Qi came over with a smile, "You are enthroned today, I think as an elder, you must give a gift as a high hope. Therefore, I copied a copy of "The Gift of Governing the Country" myself, and I hope you will be like your father. world."

Chu Jie smiled and took the letter. "Uncle Huang has a heart." Unfortunately, he has only one purpose in sitting on the throne - to avenge Jing'er.He will not be a good emperor.

Chu Qi patted him on the shoulder, "The new emperor's ascension to the throne is the period of the replacement of the old and the new, and turmoil is easy to occur, so you have to be careful."

"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

Chu Qi nodded and withdrew his hand, "Then I'll take my leave here."

"Walk slowly."

Chu Jie lowered his head and glanced at the cover of the letter. On it was written the words "Rites of Governing the Country" in vigorous calligraphy. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He frowned, and handed the letter to Wei Ming, "Take it back and put it on the desk."

Wei Ming understood that he didn't want to go back to the palace, probably he was going to that place again. "yes."

In a trance, he dreamed of the past. Since he was a child, memories have passed in front of him like lanterns, like reading a story about someone else, a story about pain, happiness, jealousy, anger, sadness, and despair.

"Your Highness! Please! He may not be a good father, but he is still the father who gave birth to you! I beg you! Don't kill him!" The crying eunuch knelt on the ground and begged, as if he was about to be killed It was his life that was taken.

Looking at the scene that emerged, he sneered, because of compassion?Let the person you hate the most just end up "living in seclusion" in the mountains and forests alone.
