[Ming] the son of the eunuch

"Who is he?"

The young emperor in front showed a curious expression, and meeting his gaze, Chen Shui explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, he is Chen Lin, my only younger brother who always likes to run around!"

"Chen Lin?" Having heard this name from Chen Shui countless times, Zhu Yunqi immediately looked at the young man who was walking slowly with burning eyes.

The handsome, almost good-looking boy walked over slowly with a pale complexion.The expression on the other party's face did not arouse any suspicion from the young emperor, and he had seen countless people look at him with such a tense expression.So at this moment, Zhu Yunqi only paid attention to his elegant appearance, which was completely different from that of a guard. He knew that such a person was suitable for holding a pen but not for holding a sword.

"Chen Lin, the guard of Chen Yan's palace, is present to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Zhang Wu, the guard of Chen Yan's palace, is here with the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Chen Lin and Zhang Wu stepped forward and knelt down quickly, and glanced in Chen Lin's direction.Seeing his pale face, Zhang Wu suddenly became nervous for no reason.

"Chen Lin, you are the Chen Lin who resigned from the hundred households given by the emperor's grandfather and followed King Yan all the way to Yanjing just because King Yan helped you once and allowed you to leave the palace smoothly!"

It seemed that he didn't remember the other party's current identity until now, Zhu Yunqi immediately said slowly.

"My Majesty, my subordinate is Chen Lin!"

Not daring to say anything more, Chen Lin looked dull.He behaved respectfully, but seemed to give people a boring feeling that he didn't know what to say to him at all.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan is still waiting inside!" After a moment of silence, just as Chen Shui was about to speak, another middle-aged eunuch standing beside the emperor reminded him in a low voice.

Hearing that the other party was Eunuch Huang, the uncle's former subordinate, Chen Lin felt relieved.

"Get up!" Zhu Yunqi liked Chen Lin's bookishness, but he was also bored by the other party's dullness and bad words.So after leaving such a sentence, he immediately stepped forward.

Chen Lin and Zhang Wu hurriedly stood up, stepped aside to get out of the way.Following behind the young emperor, seeing that Chen Lin messed up everything he had painstakingly arranged, Chen Shui's eyes suddenly changed.

What kind of eyes this is, Chen Lin couldn't describe it for a while, but he felt a sudden chill all over his body.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Wu, who also saw Chen Shui's eyes, immediately approached and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay!" Shaking his head and trying to squeeze out a smile, Chen Lin said lightly.

While Chen Lin was thinking wildly outside, Zhu Gaochi in the inner hall followed Chen Lin's instructions.Sentence by sentence, he talked to his cousin about some things in the past.

The two talked about the things they studied in the palace together, and the things they were scolded and praised by the late emperor together, and the atmosphere became better and better.

"At that time, Grandpa Huang said, you are a kind person, let me get closer to you!"

Seeing that the emperor no longer calls himself Zhen, seeing him start calling his own name.With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaochi pretended to be casual as if he had agreed yesterday: "In fact, only the emperor was willing to get close to me at that time!"

"..." Zhu Yunwen was stunned.

When he was in a daze, Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice again: "I am different from Your Majesty. The emperor's grandfather and uncle have always liked Your Majesty. His Majesty's three younger brothers also admire Your Majesty, but I am different---"

"..."

Zhu Yunqi still didn't make a sound, but Chen Shui, who was standing in the hall, glanced at Eunuch Huang, feeling a little abnormal in his heart.

Looking up at His Majesty the Emperor sitting above, Zhu Gaochi said in a trance: "The only thing Gao Chi has in common with Your Majesty is that you and I are both the eldest son, and we are both legitimate heirs. Besides that, there is nothing else. The same thing. Your Majesty's father valued His Majesty and always cared for you, and he was very proud when talking about Your Majesty. But I am different, my father likes to practice martial arts. But my body can only read books, I do If you can't do what those younger brothers can do, you can't learn from my younger brother. Your Majesty has always had a good relationship with these younger brothers, but my younger brother is ashamed to get along with my elder brother in private!"

Hearing just awkward words yesterday made Zhu Gaochi feel a little uncomfortable at this time: "Your Majesty, in fact Zhu Gaochi really envies you. In fact, I really don't mind if my brothers don't like me. In fact, even if my father doesn't like me, I will It doesn't matter. As long as they are all right, as long as they are all right, even if my father always looks at me disappointed. Even if my mother never takes the initiative to get close to me like my brothers, I don't care. I only want them to be good, Your Highness—"

Completely forgetting that Chen Lin told him not to mention Yanjing, Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and said softly: "Is there something wrong with Yanjing, Your Highness? Why can't I receive any news suddenly? Why? Even the half-monthly safety letter is gone, I know that my father and queen mother will definitely blame me because of Xu'er and Sui'er. But even so, it is impossible for them to completely ignore me and completely forget me?"

"I--I don't know!" Looking at Zhu Gaochi's heartbroken expression, Zhu Yunqi didn't realize until now that he seemed to have gone a little too far.

Thinking that King Yan was only the third son, and thinking about how King Yan used to be, Zhu Yunqi felt that he was a little too much for the first time.

"Gao Chi, you really don't know anything?" Looking into his eyes, Zhu Yunwen was full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Gao Chi, please tell me?" The mysterious look of the guards in the house, and the strangeness in the eyes of the cousin above, finally made Zhu Gaochi feel restless.

"This---" Thinking of His Highness, he took a look and pondered for a while.Then Zhu Yunxuan stared at Zhu Gaochi and finally said cautiously: "Gao Chi, your father---he accidentally fell off his horse---he can't stand up now."

Zhu Yunqi tried to speak slowly and lightly, so that it would be easier for Zhu Gaochi to accept.But as soon as his words fell, Zhu Gaochi's body froze, his lips moved feebly, and without warning, he fell backwards heavily.

"Son!!"

"Come on!!"

"Gaochi!!" The eunuchs and guards below shouted, and quickly helped Zhu Gaochi up from the chair.Walking down step by step, looking at the glaring and unusually bright red blood stain on his forehead from a distance, Zhu Yunqi suddenly blamed himself and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Send someone to tell the imperial doctor!" He ordered softly, and then hesitated in his steps forward.Then looking at Zhu Gaochi's miserable appearance, Zhu Yunqi only realized that his younger brother seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently.

"Biography ---" The forward steps slowly retreated step by step, thinking about the latest news from Yanjing.Thinking of Zhu Gaochi's miserable face just now, Zhu Yunqi hesitated for a moment and then immediately said loudly: "Come here to pass on the decree, King Yan is seriously ill, I--I am grateful for King Yan's contribution to the court. I now allow Prince Yan to return The vassal will take care of him, as long as the son is well, he can go back whenever he wants."

The eunuch who passed the decree followed the emperor all the time, and immediately wrote down his words.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Feeling that everything was full of strangeness, Chen Shui immediately persuaded.

"Blood, blood, why is there so much blood!"

Eunuch Huang, who was supporting Zhu Gaochi in the distance, suddenly shouted loudly. Hearing that voice, Zhu Yunqi immediately said loudly and decisively: "What I say is what I say. Ah Shuizhen is not only the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but also his cousin. Even if King Yan or any uncle rebels, I will not hurt their lives. They are all my close relatives, and everything should be done with love. I can't do anything too extreme. If I am too Unfeeling, father and grandfather will be sad. And this is the second time Gao Chi has fainted in front of me, I can no longer pretend not to see it!"

Zhu Yunxuan who was talking became louder and louder. Looking at his abnormally excited expression, Chen Shui's face froze and finally he dared not say anything.

When there was noise from the front hall, Chen Lin and Zhang Wu stood upright even though they were worried and nervous.

When they shouted to pass on the imperial doctor loudly, the two of them still stood upright.

But in the end, after half an hour.When Prince Yan's son, whose head was bandaged, was helped out by the little eunuch.Staring fixedly at the memorial in Zhu Gaochi's arms, the two of them knelt on the ground almost immediately when their feet softened.

"My son, let's go!" Chen Lin and Zhang Wu immediately said in unison to support Zhu Gaochi who was in a daze.

"Lin'er!" Chen Shui's inaudible low voice came from behind.

Before the smile on his face could restrain himself, Chen Lin turned his head excitedly.

After meeting Chen Shui's extremely complicated eyes, Chen Lin subconsciously pulled out another smile.

"Wait for me!" Chen Lin, who already felt that he was about to complete his meritorious deeds, opened his mouth and said silently.Seeing that the cousin behind him didn't seem to understand, Chen Lin could only suppress the excitement in his heart, smiled at him, then immediately turned around and continued to support Zhu Gaochi outward.

"Chen Lin, you---" The three of them walked out of the long red palace road together. When the prince was leaning in the carriage in a daze, Zhang Wu looked at Chen Lin and hesitated to speak.

"Let's go immediately. The imperial soldiers and horses that have been following have already withdrawn. Half of the guards of the palace are behind this carriage. With the emperor's imperial decree, you can easily leave the imperial city, and you can even pick a few at the post station outside the city. A fine horse. The emperor is willing to let the son go, but those ministers may not be willing. So Zhang Wu will leave immediately without delay, and don't stop for a moment!"

The excitement in his heart gradually died down, and when his head finally turned normally, Chen Lin immediately said calmly.

"What about you?" Zhang Wu, who had already guessed a little bit of Chen Lin's collar, immediately said harshly, "Chen Lin, you don't want to just leave, the King of Yan told me to--" -"

"The king of Yan wants you to listen to me. The king of Yan needs you to send his eldest son back safely and intact!" He raised his hand to hold Zhang Wu's hands, and mercilessly pulled his hands little by little. down.Chen Lin suddenly sat up straight and said coldly: "I have done everything King Yan asked me to do. As for the things I can't do and don't want to do, it's useless for anyone to force me!"

"..." Zhang Wu paused, not knowing what to do.

Looking sideways at the small window on the right side of the carriage, it took a while to hear the excitement outside.Turning his head slowly, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was aggrieved even with his eyes closed.Then he slowly moved to the livid Zhang Wu's side, and gently touched him with his elbow.

When he looked towards him, Chen Lin put his hand on his shoulder.As in the past, he said in a brisk tone: "Just because I stay here, it doesn't mean that I will no longer be a member of the guards of Yan Palace. I just miss home and want to take a look. I will return to Yan immediately after I settle down." Is Jing okay?"

"It's a deal?" Zhang Wu's eyes were full of doubts, but he knew that the most important thing at this time was indeed the son, so he could only settle for the second best.

"It's a deal!" His eyes were a little bitter, and he didn't know why he would promise this big boss.He quickly turned around and climbed to the side of the carriage. After admonishing the driver, Chen Lin jumped down very quickly.

The training a few months ago did not seem to have caused the slightest regression because of his deliberate relaxation.After rolling down to a hidden place around the corner, Chen Lin immediately stood up and walked towards the west of the city without looking back.

Go to a ready-made clothing store and wait until you come out.Chen Lin, who was wearing a simple blue robe and let his hair down, suddenly looked indistinguishable from ordinary pedestrians in the streets and alleys.

Raising his hand to touch a strand of hair hanging from his forehead, Chen Lin smiled and then hid in a tea house, waiting until the sun set and waiting for the whole capital to light up again.Then he stepped on the bursts of lights on both sides of the street, and quietly walked slowly towards the mansion of the Chen Mansion, which he hadn't returned to for a long time.
