Glass Bone

"Release your worries?"

Shen Tuo looked at his weeping pear blossom and rainy face, only felt his temples twitch, and became more and more sad.

He rubbed his sore brows, pointed to a part of the hall and said, "Did you see that corner? Go and squat with your face facing the wall and don't turn your head. If you make any noise, I will kill you. You heard me clearly." ?"

Bi Ya suddenly fell silent, covered his mouth and nodded quickly, indescribably obedient, only to see Shen Tuo's eyes sweeping coldly, and he rolled to that corner and stopped talking.

Seeing his timid and cowardly appearance, Shen Tuo couldn't help being a little moved.In fact, Shen Tuo didn't believe what he said. He trekked through the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and stepped on the bones of countless relatives to sit where he is today. Except for the sword in his hand, he never believed in things like loyalty, kindness, and love. This is a kind of almost instinctive transparency, and it is this kind of transparency that has allowed him to go up and down several times to where he is today.

He is not a three-year-old child, and he will not be easily fooled by those few words, but he did not continue to press him.He felt that it was not easy for him to be a pawn, but he was so unintelligent, entered into this treacherous palace, and did not know how he died when he died.

Shen Tuo looked at him and recalled the self in a trance, although he was a prince, he was not much better than him.

He thought of his mother, the poor woman who had suffered so much for giving birth to him, died of hunger and cold.It is rumored that she was originally the queen's personal maid, named Chen Xiang, but when the queen was pregnant with the thirteenth prince, she climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed.Shen Jin made her a beauty and didn't bother her since then. This was an ordinary thing, but it was only a night of favor that made her pregnant. The empress who was full of grief and anger was eight months pregnant and gave birth prematurely. The one who was born was weak and sickly since childhood, and the medicine was not stopped all the year round. The queen felt resentful, so it was all blamed on their mother and child.

From then on, the life of their mother and son became even worse. They lived in a dilapidated courtyard, and their food and clothing were almost deprived. In the coldest winter in their lives, the two of them huddled together without coal for heating. , Mother chopped down the tables and chairs in the house and lit a brazier to keep warm, and hugged him tightly with her frail body.

Due to year-round lack of food, my mother's body was extremely weak, and she was seriously ill in the cold weather. Because the road was blocked by heavy snow, the eunuch who delivered the food was lazy and hadn't delivered food for two days. The little Shen Tuo was hungry and dizzy Dazed, but dare not leave mother half a step.

The mother's face was as white as paper, lying on the bed sideways, trembling all over, Shen Tuo covered all the clothes he could find on his mother, but she was still trembling.He climbed into the bed and got into his mother's arms, hugged her and said, "Mother, it won't be cold if you hold Tuo'er..."

Mother seemed to have heard his words, and hugged him tightly in her arms. Mother's body was cold and hard, and his teeth shivered from the cold, but it was good to be able to hold mother like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Tuo woke up slowly, but found that he was not sleeping in his mother's arms. He sat up abruptly, only to find that his mother was standing by the bed and staring at him unblinkingly.He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling better? Why are you staring at Tuo'er like this?"

The mother didn't answer, but just looked at him deeply, gently stroking Shen Tuo's face with a bone-like hand, tears slid down her cheeks, her voice was hoarse and weak: "Tuo'er...Mother's illness is not good. It will be fine..."

Shen Tuo hugged his mother's waist, shaking his head like a rattle: "No! Mother's illness will be cured! It will definitely be cured!"

The mother suddenly stretched out the hand that had been hidden behind her all this time, and she saw a snow-white dagger held high in her hand. She looked at Shen Tuo lovingly and said, "Tuo'er, mother, time is running out. But I don't want you to stay in this world and suffer alone, why don't you go with your mother?"

Shen Tuo pushed his mother in horror. She was a person who had run out of fuel and fell to the ground in an instant like fallen leaves. However, Shen Tuo didn't dare to help him because of fear, so he got out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out.

He hid outside for a long time that day. A patrolling guard found him shivering in the corner and kindly gave him a steamed bun. Although he was hungry, he was not willing to eat it. He just hid in the He hurried back in his arms, but when he returned there again, his mother had already fallen to the ground, dead for a long time.

Shen Tuo only felt that every inch of flesh and bones in his body was frozen, congealed into sharp ice and pierced his heart. At only five years old, he vomited a puddle of blood. The root of the disease was planted from then on...

Over the years, his temperament has changed a lot, and he has gradually turned a blind eye to many things that he could not tolerate before, and he has naturally ignored Bi Ya, a little thing.

It's not without reason that those people can't hold back. In recent years, he has been suffering from headaches, and it's not uncommon for him to miss the morning court for ten days and a half months.Even the memorials were reviewed by Prime Minister Su Hao, Minister of War Ji Fan and other cabinets to select the most important ones and submit them.The Shen family was shattered in the coup ten years ago. Shen Tuo was nearly [-] years old but had no heir. There were only two concubines and one concubine in the harem, and he had no heirs. If his illness suddenly worsened, he would leave this huge mess How to clean up?

They feared him and hated him, but they relied on and worshiped him extremely.On the one hand, they are eager to move with their little thoughts, but on the other hand, they are afraid that he will die suddenly, leaving the world to fight to the death with a group of people with ulterior motives.

Wei Wang Shen Yuchang is a personal choice, there should be many people with this idea, but he is a mediocre person, if he is allowed to be the emperor, the Great Yan Dynasty will lose its surname within three years.Shen Tuo has worked hard for more than ten years to develop Dayan from a small country with only [-] cities to a large country that dominates Kyushu. How can he let his more than ten years of hard work go to waste?

So a few years ago, he began to eradicate those people in the court, intentionally or unintentionally, who knew what happened back then. He had to ensure that that person could sit on the throne safely and securely after his death.

In Shen Tuo's heart, the best heir is Lingyue City. If there is anyone in this world worthy of Shen Tuo's concern, it is this half-brother—the one who used his young body to shelter the lonely countless times. He who had no one to rely on, but who abandoned him angrily when he was about to rule the world.

During those long and palpitating years of misery, his existence was like a beam of warm sun suddenly shooting in winter, supporting Shen Tuo to persevere.
