wish you well

People can never predict what will happen when they die.When I was young, I was free and unrestrained, because at that time I didn't feel that a hundred years of life is like a white horse.Looking back on the hurried years, many things that were thought to be unforgettable at the time, in the end, are just some vague memories that have been done in this life with a smile.

Of course, Mu Zifan didn't expect his life to bid farewell to the emptiness of the world in this way, so the feedback from his short and hopeless life will not be the open-mindedness of birth, old age, sickness and death, but mourning and deep reluctance.

He inadvertently heard from the whispers between the guards and jailers that his questioning and beheading was now just a laughing stock among the crowd.Everyone tacitly rumored that he was just a playful male pet that the Ninth Prince discarded in order to protect himself.Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, the indifference and hatred of the Ninth Prince Huang Pu Tianhao, the man Mu Zifan loved and the only man he ever loved in this life, will soon become his last desperate memory of this world, because counting the current Three days later it was the time for Mu Zifan's execution.

On the penultimate day, Mu Zifan didn't know how long it was, because since he was imprisoned in the death row yesterday, he has been sitting in the dark corner of the wall with his knees bent and his arms folded.

"Zi Fan." A low and friendly voice sounded from behind.

Mu Zifan seemed to recognize who it was. He raised his head from the darkness and turned to look at the person. Even in such a desperate situation of death, his heart was instantly filled with gratitude, "Brother Shangguan." The call carries all Mu Zifan's gratitude to Shangguan Mubai. Just imagine that he is now a death row criminal who was convicted by the emperor himself for adultery with foreigners. Who would dare to approach him? Those people are afraid that they will avoid him. Really, and the people who can come to see him off for the last time at this time are probably the ones who really treat him well.

"Zifan, brother Shangguan has brought you wine. The elder brother knows that you are bold and generous, so he brought the best vintage wine, and asked your sister-in-law to cook some of your favorite dishes. Tonight, my brother How about we sleep when we get drunk?" Shangguan Mubai didn't think the place was filthy and cold when he walked to the prison door, he threw off his light-colored robe and sat on the floor.

At this time, seeing the elder brother whom I sincerely respect and not fearing the imperial power came to send me for the last time, Mu Zifan also put aside all the painful things for him for the time being, and let everything end.

Shangguan Mubai poured wine for himself and Mu Zifan, and passed it to Mu Zifan through the gap between the big logs thick on the calf. He took the wine and drank it all in one gulp. Brother, don’t abandon us brothers and meet again.” As he spoke, the eyes of the people on both sides of the prison door welled up with tears.

"Okay, big brother promises you that you will definitely wait for the moment to reunite with brothers. Come, drink." Shangguan Mu Bai and Mu Zifan raised their glasses again and drank it down proudly.

"Little brother still has something to ask, I think at this time, only big brother can trust me." Mu Zifan put down his wine glass and suddenly knelt down on his knees to salute.

"Brother Zifan, get up quickly. If you have anything to say, the elder brother will definitely not hesitate to say anything." Shangguan Mu Bai wanted to reach in to help Mu Zifan, but he turned his back and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

"Brother must accept this thank you from brother, because I am afraid that there will be no such opportunities in the future. Brother, I want to ask my brother to help me take care of my mother and sister in my hometown when my brother is away. I would like to thank my brother here." " After Mu Zifan finished speaking, he couldn't help but thank Shangguan Mu Bai.

"Brother Zifan, don't worry, elder brother will definitely treat your mother and sister like his own family. Get up quickly, don't kneel on the ground." Shangguan Mu Bai agreed.

But Mu Zifan was still kneeling on the ground as if he still had something to ask for, "Brother, there is one more thing, please swear that you will tell the Ninth Prince for me."

"Zifan might as well talk and listen." Mu Zifan sat up after hearing that Shangguan Mu Bai was willing to help.

"Brother, do you remember if you asked your brother to enjoy the scenery at the pavilion at the back of the mountain? If not, then please tell the ninth prince that there is a young servant named He in his mansion who must not stay. That person should be sent by the second prince. One of the spies around him. I think I usually take care of him like a brother, but I didn't expect him to help the second prince frame me and let the ninth prince misunderstand me. Then they went on to kill the ninth prince, which is really infuriating." Mu The more Zifan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand with great force.

"Crack!" At this moment, a person who had been standing in the dark suddenly took a step back and made some noises to attract Mu Zifan's attention. At first, Mu Zifan only thought that the person was Shangguan Mubai's sweetheart. The guard didn't care.Now, with the dim light in the dungeon and the man's raised head in a panic, he could see clearly that the man was the spy Xiao Wan who he said asked Shangguan Mu Bai to tell Huangpu Tianhao's second prince.

Mu Zifan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on now? "Brother, why is he here? You guys, do you know each other?" Looking at Xiao Wan in the dark and Shangguan Mu Bai, who was full of apology and pain, Mu Zifan seemed to understand something suddenly.

"It turned out to be you, and he was just a cover, right? From the beginning when the Ninth Prince sent Li Jingqi to win you over, you were just following the trend on purpose. Because you are the real spy of the Second Prince, you want to borrow Li Jingqi Qi went to win you over and took the opportunity to break into the Ninth Prince's side. That's right, it's just that I believed in you too much. I really respected you like a big brother. I didn't expect that my most respected big brother would kill me forever. And that The capture of a barbarian general for the first time seemed to be a success, but was ruined by a fire for no reason. I think you instructed someone to do it, right? And this time I went to the south with the Ninth Prince, and I only told you about it. And You sent Xiao Wan to invite me, but you went there on an outing with the Ninth Prince. It seems that you accidentally discovered that I met the Second Prince in private. In fact, it was also a trick you deliberately used to drive a wedge between me and the Ninth Prince according to the Second Prince’s instructions? Brother, haha Haha, you really are the good brother who hurt me the most!" Mu Zifan went back to the dark corner and this time he didn't want to believe anything or anyone anymore, he felt that the so-called close relatives and loved ones in the world are nothing but love. It's a bunch of liars!There is an old saying that can express all his feelings in his short life, 'There is nothing greater than death. '

"Brother Mu, don't blame Mr. Shangguan, we were forced by ourselves. We didn't intend to harm you at first, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would use you so ruthlessly to cover his crime." The little boy who had been standing behind Wan said.

"Ye, shut up!" 'Ye' is Xiao Wan's real code name. To put it bluntly, they are all just victims of the imperial power struggle, but this time this man named Mu Zifan really made him feel the warmth of human affection.Ye is an orphan, just like Shangguan Mu Bai, they were adopted by Master Yang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War since they were young, and they have worked for their adoptive father, Master Yang since they grew up, and Master Yang happens to be Huangpu Tianlei's biggest colleague.

"Brother didn't expect it to become like this, now I just want to know if you are really from the Snow Country?" Shangguan Mu Bai squatted in front of Mu Zifan's cell and asked in a low voice.

"Yes! I am! So it is true that I have colluded with foreign races, you don't want to frame him! Hahaha" Shangguan Mubai didn't expect Mu Zifan to be so affectionate towards Huangpu Tianhao, and even at this time he was still protecting Huangpu Tianhao. Looking at him, even though Huangpu Tianhao was so cruel and heartless towards him, he didn't even want to see him for the last time.

"Brother won't let you die, Zifan." Shangguan Mubai knew how many people he had helped his adoptive father to violate his conscience over the years, and this time he was going to kill such a honest and pure man with his own hands. A man who sincerely respects himself as a big brother, he doesn't want to live like this at the cost of killing other people's lives.

"Let's go, let's treat our brotherhood as broken, and we will never see each other forever!" After Mu Zifan finished speaking, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't know how Shangguan Mubai left, because his mind became very sluggish in the pain and sadness. Dizzy eyelids are too tired to open it again.

·············

"Your Highness Ninth, Your Highness Ninth." A low and urgent call came from outside the room in a daze.

Huangpu Tianhao came down from the couch and his clothes reeking of alcohol, angrily opened the door and kicked his subordinates outside the door, "The dog slave wants to die! How dare you disturb the prince in the middle of the night!" It turned out that the calm and elegant Huangpu Tianhao would never treat his subordinates so rudely and viciously, and this subordinate has been following Huangpu Tianhao for many years and understands that the Ninth Prince has indeed been depressed recently, almost to the point of decadence and self-abandonment. A scene that those who have followed him for many years would never have imagined in the past.Everyone also more or less understands what made such an arrogant person become what he is today.

That's why this subordinate risked being punished to come and report to the Ninth Prince, "This subordinate deserves to die, but this matter has to be reported. Back to the Ninth Prince's prison on death row tonight, the fire broke out. Originally, the subordinates did not dare to disturb the Ninth Prince, but The fire started to ignite today, and it didn't go out until about [-] o'clock, and it burned bigger and bigger, I'm afraid that the death row prisoners in the prison have been burned to the bone."

When Huangpu Tianhao heard that the people in the death cell might have been burned to death or even had no bones left, he felt fear for the first time in his life, a chill came over his body and he couldn't help shaking, "Prepare the horse. "He ordered to his opponent mechanically.

"Ninth Prince, do you want to go to the death row now? Forgive me for your boldness, the Ninth Prince must not go there at this time! It was hard to escape the trap of the traitor, if the Ninth Prince rushes over in this extraordinary period, he will only fall into the trap again The handle! I hope the Ninth Prince thinks twice!" The subordinate who originally came to report information, did not expect the Ninth Prince to become so sad after hearing that all the people in the death row were burned to death.

"Go to his prince, go to his world, damn everything! I don't want anything, I don't want anything! I'll kill anyone who dares to stop me!" Seeing the red eyes of the Ninth Prince It looks like a madman who loses his reason and will kill at any time.

He rode on his spirit horse, thinking that it was this spiritual beast that saved his and Zifan's lives when he attacked the barbarians, but he didn't expect that it was also the one that carried him to see him for the last time.Maybe he has turned into a powder, and he doesn't even want to see him for the last time. "Zifan, Zifan, wait for me, Zifan." Huangpu Tianhao galloped towards the prison, his heart aching like a knife.

And when he rushed to the death row, everything had already ended, only the embers of fire everywhere had not been extinguished.This frightening death row has now become a huge black ghost miniature, and the serious and terrifying appearance of the building before can be vaguely seen. Now it has become a large cemetery worthy of the name.

Some firefighting and wounded soldiers carried out one after another charred and deformed corpses, some of which were mutilated, from the dark hole.Huangpu Tianhao stood on the side and tensed his nerves to see if there would be a familiar figure appearing in it.Suddenly he saw a familiar green jade hairpin on the waist of a soldier.

Huangpu Tianhao rushed over and grabbed it, holding it tightly in his hand, "Where did you get this thing? Where is the person with this hairpin now? Where is he? Tell me! Where is he?"

The soldier who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pick up the treasure was also frightened by the Ninth Prince's crazy appearance, and fell to his knees. Forgive Your Highness the Ninth Prince, spare your life."

"A damn dog slave, you can touch his things! Tell me, where is the owner of this hairpin?" Huang Putian kicked the greedy soldier far away with a heroic kick.

The soldier was also frightened and crawled back tremblingly, "Ninth Prince, spare your life. This servant picked it up from a pile of charred bones. The bones were burned so that half of his body was missing and his head was incomplete. The villain really doesn't know the rest, I beg the Ninth Prince to spare your life." After saying that, the soldier kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"Ah!!!" After listening to the Ninth Prince, Huang Pu Tianhao fell to the ground, unable to make any sound, he could only shout loudly to the lonely and cold Night Breeze.In the end, I cried until I had no image at all, with tears and snot all over my face.

"Get up!" The old emperor's majestic and angry voice sounded behind him. When he happened to see his prince having such a dirty relationship with the subordinates in the mansion during the celebration banquet that day, he immediately tried every means to arrange for his son. Marriage with the prime minister's daughter, but he never thought that his son would be seduced by the man who had many similar features to the Snow Country Princess who had bewitched him back then, and now he has become so self-defeating.

'Is that woman's ghost coming back to take revenge on me?Back then, I was bewitched by your beauty and insisted on marrying you, but you fell ill halfway and died in a foreign land. Now you sent a man from your Snow Country to kill my prince, but luckily he died. 'Thinking of this old emperor is also very unhappy.

"Father, why did you kill him, why did you kill Zifan? You know that even if he is really not my court, he is definitely not a person who harms others and benefits himself. Why can't you let him live?" Huangpu Tianhao Desperately asked his father.

"The state owns the state law, how can it be a joke, my son Tianhao, if you give up on yourself like this again, I will punish you together with your mother and concubine. Hurry up and go back and clean up. As the prince of my dynasty, how is it proper to behave like this now?" The old emperor was angry. road.

Huangpu Tianhao stood up, bowed and retreated, tightly holding the jade hairpin in his hand, the hairpin's tip pierced his palm, and the blood flowed drop by drop along the hairpin that Mu Zifan once carried between his blue hair, circling around and slipping.

·············

Then, he opened his eyes again.He just felt very weak and tired all over his body, since he drank with Shangguan Mu Bai that night, he has been in a daze, and then he seemed to have experienced a life-and-death breakthrough like climbing mountains and wading through water.He tried to sit up, but just as he sat firmly on the bed, an old man's voice sounded, "The old man, Mo Han, welcomes the prince back to the country. My country's most precious and holy Princess Snow, you can rest in peace. You are the son of a foreigner. To be able to welcome him back to our country in his lifetime can be regarded as living up to Princess Shengxue's dying entrustment."
