How can a thousand crematoriums be enough?

Yu Mao lowered his head, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, and said, "I also know it's impossible, but I really like Master Yuzhu, even if I just stay with Master Yuzhu..."

When the Queen Mother heard what Yu Mao said, her heart sank.Had her little grandson already fallen so deep?

"You must know that you and that Yuzhu are both men. Although we in the Tianyuan Dynasty can also form partners of the same sex, but Xiaojiu, you belong to the royal family. How can a member of the royal family find a same-sex partner?"

Yu Mao subconsciously retorted, "Why not? Since ordinary people can, why can't the royal family?"

Knowing that the other party would not listen to this point, the queen mother changed a little bit, "What about Yuzhu? He is a monk, how can he be with you, do you want to force the other party to return to vulgarity?"

After saying this, Yu Mao fell silent.

Master Yuzhu devoted himself to the Buddha. He got up early every day to read scriptures.How could it be possible to fall in love with him.

"I..." Yu Mao grabbed the corner of his clothes until it was covered with wrinkles.

"I...as long as I can stay with Master Yuzhu, I don't want anything else..."

"You!" The Queen Mother never expected that Yu Mao could be so stubborn.

It's so sad for a dignified prince to put his status in the dust for the sake of a young monk.

The queen mother was about to hit Yu Mao with trembling hands, but she couldn't bear it when she got on her body, and finally let out a long sigh and let go of her hand.

"That's all." The Empress Dowager shook her head and took a step back, "Tomorrow, I will decree that Yuzhu will return to vulgarity and fulfill you."

"do not want!"

Yu Mao yelled anxiously.Afraid that someone outside would hear it, I immediately lowered the volume, "It's my own business to like Master Yuzhu, Grandma Huang, don't force Master Yuzhu."

The queen mother simply hated iron for being weak, so she pressed Yu Mao's forehead heavily, "I know how to think of others, so what about you, what are you going to do? Are you really going to stay by that Yuzhu's side for the rest of your life?"

Yu Mao bit her lower lip with her white teeth, until her rosy lips turned white.He raised his hand to touch the bead in the collar, "Anyway, I'm happy as long as I stay with Master Yuzhu. It doesn't matter whether Master Yuzhu stays with me or not."

"...You child, why don't you have any ambition at all!" The queen mother couldn't say anything about Yu Mao, and she couldn't bear to be tough, she was completely helpless.

"It's up to you, as long as you feel happy."

"However." The Queen Mother said sharply, "If that monk dares to make you sad, don't blame Grandma Huang for being rude."

Yu Mao smiled, "Master Yuzhu is a very good person, he won't hurt me"

"Okay, let's go back and find him, Grandma Huang is tired." The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling Yu Mao to leave.

"Grandma Huang, rest well." Yu Mao turned and left the hall.

After closing the hall door, Yu Mao calmed down and planned to return to Liuqing Hall.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a white figure in the night. Yu Mao turned his head and met Yu Zhu's eyes.

"!"

Those eyes were calm and devoid of emotion.Yu Mao didn't know when the other party came, let alone if the other party heard anything.

Normally, they couldn't hear it through a door, but Yu Mao remembered that people in the temple said that Master Yuzhu's martial arts was very good.

"...Master Yuzhu, when did you come?"

Yu Mao opened his mouth tentatively, and looked at Yu Zhu cautiously, unwilling to let go of any expression.

Yu Zhu looked down at Yu Mao with deep eyes.After a moment of silence, he said, "The emperor asked me to take a look at the queen mother's body."

Yu Zhu didn't say when he came, Yu Mao panicked, "Then, has Master Yu Zhu been waiting for a long time?"

Seeing Yu Mao's panicked look, Yu Zhu's heart twitched slightly.

In fact, he had come earlier, and when he was about to knock on the door, he heard the Queen Mother questioning.For some reason, he stopped his movements and finally listened to the whole conversation.

The Ninth Prince likes him?

"Yu, Master Yuzhu, what are you thinking?" Yu Mao clenched his hands tightly, cold sweat dripping from his palms.

Master Yuzhu looks like this, did you hear that?

So hate yourself?

That's right, people with bad intentions like myself will feel displeased.

Yuzhu lowered her eyes, her tone was flat, her face was neither sad nor happy, and she was not affected by anything.

"Ninth Prince, I'm just a monk."

The soft voice was like a boulder suddenly pressing on the heart, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.Sure enough, I still heard it.I even changed my name, maybe I don’t even want to be friends.

Feeling that tears were about to flow down, Yu Mao hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting Yu Zhu to see him in a panic, "I, I have something to do, so I'll go first. Master Yu Zhu can leave, I'm in trouble today."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yu Zhu to speak again, Yu Mao hurriedly fled from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, afraid that he would hear some terrible words a second later, and even stumbled over the threshold.

Yu Zhu looked in the direction where Yu Mao left, still expressionless, but the hand hidden in the wide sleeve of the monk's robe unconsciously clenched and then gradually loosened.

Amitabha

The next day, Yu Mao did not return to Xuanhua Temple.Only the servants who came to pack their luggage came.

Yu Zhu watched silently from the side without doing anything.

"Rain Bamboo."

Yu Zhu turned around and found that it was the host.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

The host stroked his beard and looked at Yu Zhu with a smile, "The master should ask you this, what happened to you and the Ninth Prince?"

"......nothing."

The host didn't force her to ask, but patted Yu Zhu on the shoulder kindly, "The Ninth Prince is a good boy. Master doesn't know what happened between you, but I hope you don't cause any estrangement. If you have something to say, just let it go."

"..."

Seeing Yu Zhu like this, the host asked, "Yu Zhu, do you still remember why Master didn't give you a ring scar?"

Yu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said softly, "The Buddha said: All hairs are predestined to happen, all are predestined. The master said that the disciple's predestined relationship is not exhausted, so you can't touch the scars."

"Perhaps, your predestined relationship has already appeared." The host chuckled, "Think about it carefully, if you pass this predestined relationship, and you still want to convert to Buddhism, the master will kiss the ring scar for you."

The host left, but Yu Zhu still stood there.

His fate?

"Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince, just eat something." A palace maid anxiously knocked on the door at the door, but there was no response from inside.

"What should I do? The Ninth Prince hasn't come out since he came back the night before, and he refuses to eat. If this continues, his body will starve to death!"

"Did something happen? I saw the Ninth Prince was crying."

"Okay, what's going on?"

Several palace maids gathered together and kept discussing what to do. The Ninth Prince refused to eat. If he got sick, not only the Ninth Prince would suffer, but they would also suffer.

"squeak"

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open gently, and Yu Mao's shaky figure came out.

"Ninth Prince!" Seeing this, the maids hurried forward to support him.

"Are you all right?"

Yu Mao's eyes were still red and swollen, the fundus was bloodshot, and the bruises under the eye sockets were also very obvious. It looked like he hadn't had a good rest.

With a slight smile, Yu Mao said hoarsely, "I'm fine, pour me a glass of water."

He quickly poured a pot of water, and several people hurriedly brought in several plates of pastries.

Yu Mao took a sip of water, stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"You didn't tell Grandma Huang, did you?"

The maid shook her head, "No, we remember that the Ninth Prince said that no matter what happened, the Queen Mother should not be disturbed."

Yu Mao breathed a sigh of relief, it's just as well Grandma Huang didn't know.If Grandma Huang knew what happened the night before yesterday, Tuzeng would not let Master Yuzhu go without worrying about it.

"I'm fine, you go back."

They left as promised, and Yu Mao was the only one left in the room.

Yu Mao held the wooden bead in his hand, and pursed his lips tightly.

In the past two days, he thought a lot, but in the end he still didn't want to just give up.He wanted to talk to Master Yuzhu again to explain clearly.At least express your intentions clearly.

Stuffing another piece of pastry into his mouth, Yu Mao walked to the mirror and found that his complexion was really scary.

It's better to wait a few more days, and then go to Master Yuzhu when his complexion recovers.

It's been half a month

During this period, Yu Mao mustered up the courage to go to Xuanhua Temple countless times, but the courage was lost when he stepped out of the door.

He dare not, really dare not.

He didn't dare to know how Master Yuzhu would react, didn't dare to face the most likely words of rejection that Master Yuzhu would say, and didn't dare to imagine what he would do in the future.

He didn't ask for Master Yuzhu's response, but only hoped that he could stay by Master Yuzhu's side.Because just like this, he already felt very satisfied.

It's just that Yu Mao didn't go to look for Yu Zhu, but Yu Zhu was called by the Queen Mother.

His abnormality in the past few days was still discovered by the queen mother, who was furious after looking for someone to investigate carefully.

She just said to keep Yu Mao from getting hurt, but in the end, her little grandson didn't eat for two days in sadness.

She had to have a good talk with this monk named Yuzhu.

"Ninth Prince, the Empress Dowager found that Master Yuzhu again, probably because she is not feeling well again, do you want to go and have a look?"

Because Yu Mao had told the maids of the Compassionate Ning Palace before that once the Queen Mother felt uncomfortable, she must notify him in time.

No, when Yu Zhu stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the maid came to look for Yu Mao.

"What did you say?!"

Yu Mao was startled, and the porcelain cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere as the cup shattered.

Regardless of the maid's exclamation, he quickly ran towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

He is very clear about Grandma Huang's temperament, Grandma Huang will never let Master Yuzhu go!

"Why the Ai family called you here this time, you must be very clear." The queen mother leaned half on the soft seat, her tone was indifferent, and she never looked at Yu Zhu.

Although Yuzhu was kneeling on the ground, her figure was still as tall and straight as a bamboo, without any embarrassment.

"Go back to the queen mother, I will know."

"Know?" The queen mother sneered, "The precious grandson of the Ai family has never experienced any hardship since he was a child, but in the end he was injured by you so that he didn't eat a grain of rice for two whole days, and he lost his appearance."

"Yu Zhu, you are so courageous!"

The queen mother patted the armrest, her phoenix eyes were sharp, "The Ai family will give you two choices now."

"Either you return to vulgarity and stay with Xiao Jiu, or... oh, die!"

"..." Yuzhu's lips moved slightly, just about to speak.

"Grandma Huang doesn't want it!"

The door was pushed open vigorously, and a panting teenager broke in.

"Ah, Ninth Prince, your hand is scratched!" The palace maid looked at Yu Mao's large wound caused by the back of her hand rubbing against the door bolt because of running too fast.

Yu Mao didn't care at all, and ran in front of Yu Zhu in three steps at a time, and her small body blocked Yu Zhu tightly.

"Grandma Huang, don't embarrass Master Yuzhu, I'm really fine."

The queen mother choked on her breath, and was very angry at her stupid grandson.But he couldn't bear to get angry, "Don't talk, just treat the wound on your hand."

Yu Mao bit her lips hard, and although her voice was very soft, her tone was extremely firm, "Then Grandma Huang, let Master Yuzhu leave first."

Yu Zhu raised her head and looked at Yu Mao's back.

I don't know if it was because of the queen mother's words, but he really felt that the Ninth Prince's figure was much thinner, and he looked shaky.

"You!" The queen mother was too angry to speak.

What kind of ecstasy potion did Yu Zhu give her grandson to make Yu Mao maintain it to this extent.

"Grandma Huang, this matter really has nothing to do with Master Yuzhu, so don't embarrass him." Yu Mao looked at the Queen Mother beggingly, "Just let Master Yuzhu go."

a monk.

Just a monk.

The queen mother closed her eyes, just such a monk, who seemed nothing special to her, made her grandson sink so deeply.

"Xiao Jiu." The Queen Mother sighed, "Grandma Huang asks you, what do you like about him? What is it about him that deserves your maintenance?"

"I......"

When Yu Mao heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Zhu, but unexpectedly, Yu Zhu was also looking at him, and their eyes met directly.

Yu Mao was stunned for a moment, then turned around unnaturally,

"I, I don't know..."

Perhaps it was because of the first glance that surprised the other party, perhaps it was because of Xuedi's timely support, perhaps it was because of the treatment when he saw Grandma Huang passed out and was most helpless, perhaps it was because of the other party's inadvertent care. .....

These are things he has never experienced before.

His mother and concubine passed away when he was very young, and he was always taken care of by the maids.Later, he won the favor of the queen mother and the emperor, but he didn't dare to rely too much on it.He was just obedient and did not cause any trouble to the two of them.

The empress dowager and the emperor doted on him because he was obedient and sensible, and because he would not fight for power and profit like other royal brothers and sisters.He can make them feel at ease.

And although those maids were kind to him, it was only because of their power.He is the prince, so they will all respect him.

Only Master Yuzhu didn't look at him differently because of his status, nor did he deliberately flatter him because of his status.

Although he is always lukewarm to him, but with his efforts, he can feel that Master Yuzhu is also caring about him.

With Master Yuzhu, he no longer needs to deliberately suppress himself, he can be a little confused, a little naughty, and he can indulge himself to rely and trust.

Only gradually, he seemed to be no longer satisfied with this.With greed, there are more extravagant hopes.

I hope that Master Yuzhu can treat him better and be special to him.

People really are never satisfied.

Yu Mao lowered her head, "Grandma Huang, I'm sorry, my grandson has let you down."

The queen mother looked at Yu Mao, feeling angry and distressed at the same time. She wanted to say a lot, but when it came to her mouth, she felt it was too heavy.

After being helpless, he could only wave his hands and sighed, "Forget it, I don't care about Aijia. Do whatever you like."

Yu Mao glanced at the Queen Mother, his eyes were full of gratitude, his lips moved slightly, and he thanked in a very low voice.

Pulling Yu Zhu up from the ground, he left the room without saying a word.
