After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

"A Jue, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart. Is it true that you like me only because I protected you when I was in Yan Kingdom?"

Qin Jue looked at Xiao Mingze, who was still a boy at that time: "Then let me ask you a question, did you really choose to protect me because you liked me?"

No.

The answer in their hearts is the same.

Many years later, Qin Jue didn't know who asked him this question.He thinks a lot...

His mother passed away when he was very young, and his father had so many women that he would not care about a child of a deceased concubine.For the emperor, women and children are just his pawns, and he treats beautiful and obedient women like pets.Why didn't he want to live a few more years by himself, so that it would not be his child's turn to inherit his throne.

Imperial power is what everyone yearns for, but Qin Jue thinks it is cold, but without it, he will be trampled into the dust, and he will be sent as a hostage to something he has never seen before. Life is in danger every day.

Ever since Xiao Mingze came that day, he stretched out his hands to Qin Jue.Qin Jue knew very well that Xiao Mingze treated him like a pet at the beginning, and he could only obediently cling to Xiao Mingze in order to survive.

Xiao Mingze was the first person in his memory who treated him so well. Even if he knew that Xiao Mingze had whatever he wanted, he wouldn't care about it at all, and Qin Jue was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.During those years when he was a proton in the country of Yan, he didn't feel the darkness. On the contrary, with Xiao Mingze's protection and love, he lived a very good life, even happier and more comfortable than in his home country.

The two have been planning an unrealistic plan to seize power, thinking that they can accomplish everything with a passion for youth.

Later, Qin Jue understood.It turned out that only when Xiao Mingze loved him and protected him would he feel so happy. Without Xiao Mingze, even if he gained supreme power, he would not feel that he was a happy person.

Perhaps it was doomed a long time ago, from the moment he saw Xiao Mingze, he was doomed to fall into this vortex, unable to escape or get out.

***

On February [-]th, the sixth year of Tianyuan in the Chu State, the son of Linchuan Prince entered the palace in the name of Linchuan King to serve the king, eradicated traitors, made great contributions, and was supported by others.The emperor had no heirs, and when he was dying, he made a will to pass on the throne to the prince of Linchuan. The next day, the emperor passed away.

After Xiao Yu succeeded as the new emperor, he cut off the power in the hands of all the dignitaries, and then changed the name of the country to Daliang.

After Xiao Yu succeeded to the throne, he took care of a lot of bullying by the dignitaries of the states and counties, and gradually concentrated the military power in the imperial city.He set up four military camps in central Shu, Longnan, Longxi and other places to train soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

The new emperor accepted the nomadic tribes in northern Xinjiang and used them for Daliang, and the world has been peaceful since then.

Two years later, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the river is clear and the sea is clean.But at this moment, Xiao Yu died of illness.Xiao Yu, the emperor of Daliang, has been diligent in government affairs for the past two years and loves the people like his own son. Not to mention the queen, he doesn't even have a concubine or concubine.Xiao Yu left a will after his death, and he passed the throne to his only nephew Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Daliang, and named his wife, Qin Yuan, Queen of Daliang.

***

This Fengdu has changed people one after another, but the throne is still the same one, standing there unshakably in the wind and rain.

Xiao Xun went to visit the queen after finishing handling the affairs of state. Qin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him when she saw him coming: "Today, I arrived an hour earlier than yesterday, so I won't punish you for peeling garlic."

Xiao Xun smiled helplessly: "Fortunately, those ministers are far away from me. If I smell garlic all day long, wouldn't I become a joke on the street?"

Qin Yuan changed her face when she heard him say this: "You don't think garlic is good, then when you come back late, you can set the teapot and let you go outside to find any beauties. I will take Tong'er back to my uncle's house. "

"Hey, hey, I was wrong. A few words of babbling are not enough. Look, you are so petty."

Qin Yuan called Xiao Xun aside: "Uncle, he left alone without asking a palace guard to serve by his side. I haven't sent a letter for so long. I'm really worried."

After hearing what she said, Xiao Xun sighed again: "I am serious about Fifth Uncle's temperament. If he wants to leave, he will leave. No one can keep him. His heart is no longer here. Forcing him to stay will only make him suffer more."

"It's as if you know everything." Qin Yuan smiled.

"Of course I know. Uncle Fifth has had a hard life. I hope he can find his own way of living in the second half of his life."

At this time, Qin Yuan lit another candle beside her: "Yes, I hope he can find his sweetheart and never leave him forever."

Xiao Xun looked straight at Qin Yuan by the candlelight, Qin Yuan was stunned for a while, she came to the table and raised her head to look at Xiao Xun: "Why do you look at me like this, as if you want to eat me raw?" ?”

"No...it's nothing, I just think you...be pretty."

Qin Yuan covered her mouth and laughed loudly when she heard this: "Hahahahaha——"

"why are you laughing?"

Qin Yuan looked up at him at this moment: "Idiot, do you still remember the first time you saw me, I fell into the wall of your house and fell miserably, you also said the same thing when you saw me the first time."

Xiao Xun blushed when he heard this sentence.

"Oh, how can you be so easily shy as the emperor? If there are any noble concubines in the future, if you blush like this, won't you be burned out?"

When Xiao Xun heard this, he said: "There is absolutely no such thing! Tomorrow I will make a decree that I will not accept concubines for the rest of my life."

Qin Yuan laughed again: "Fool, I'm just kidding you."

When Xiao Xun heard that Qin Yuan was teasing him, his face darkened, and he turned his head to ignore this person.

Seeing that he was angry, Qin Yuan quietly walked to his side: "Are you angry?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Xun turned around again.

Xiao Xun was entangled in many things, and only in front of Qin Yuan could he play childish temper like this.

Qin Yuan went to hold Xiao Xun's hand at this moment, but Xiao Xun pulled back his hand in a fit of anger to prevent him from holding it. Qin Yuan held it firmly, and then let him touch her stomach: "You said you want this time Boy or girl?"

After hearing this, the gloom on Xiao Xun's face dissipated, replaced by surprise and joy.

The description of them in the history books of later generations of Daliang has only one sentence: Xiao Xun, the emperor of Daliang, and the empress are in love with each other until the empress is the only one in his life.

***

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and in a small border town in Daliang, an old man dressed in rags, with gray hair, eyebrows, and beard laughed and said, "Me! I was also a national teacher before. The first emperor, the emperor Gaozu, and the first emperor have all been assisted by me, even the current little emperor should call me a great master!"

A group of children surrounded him: "You bragging! So many emperors have died, how can the national teacher still be alive?"

"Where is the national teacher now? The emperor has abolished the official national teacher. I heard from my mother that the biggest official now is the prime minister!"

The old man who was too old was about to lose all his teeth, and now he said with a smile: "Who said the emperor is dead?"

"The emperor is dead. My mother said that when the emperor dies, he will go to the imperial mausoleum. They are all buried in the ground. Doesn't it mean that they are dead if they are buried in the ground?"

The old man stroked his beard again with a smile: "Buried doesn't mean they're really dead. Maybe they're living a good life in another world. Just like you ordinary people."

"Hmph! You beggar old man, you speak as if you are not a commoner!" A child cursed with his hands on his hips.

"Hahaha... I'm not begging for food, I'm traveling around the mountains and rivers now."

When the group of children heard this, their furry heads gathered together and whispered: "I think there is something wrong with this old man's mind, let's go quickly."

"My mother made dumplings, go to my house to play!"

"Okay! I'll bring the firecrackers!"

Those children didn't know what they said so happily, and then they ran away happily.

Wuling saw the lights of Wanjia lit up, so he took a sip of the wine in the jug and left here while humming a little song. His somewhat hoarse and old voice seemed to be echoing in the alley: "How many times in the world are you hurting?" In the past, Yamagata was still covered by the cold current! Now I am my home from all over the world, and I live a carefree life..."

***

There are only two things in Wuling's life that he lied to His Majesty. He knew that he was unfaithful as a minister, and he used the remaining light years to walk around the world and slowly atone for his sins.

The first thing is to trick Qin Jue into poisoning Xiao Mingze, and the second thing is——

A few months before Xiao Yu led the rebels to attack Fengdu, he suddenly saw Xiao Yu among the crowd.He knew that Qin Xuechuan was soft-hearted and would definitely not put him to death. He also knew that as long as Xiao Yu was still alive, he would definitely return to Fengdu, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.

He was thinking that if he didn't do it again, he would never have another chance.So that night he tied up Xiao Yu's attendants and asked his attendants to take him to his private house.

Ever since Qin Xuechuan learned of his grievances with Xiao Yu in his previous life, he had a plan in his heart.The first link in this plan is to find the real murderer who poisoned Qin Yuan.

Qin Xuechuan had known for a long time that the murderer would have a connection with Concubine Xiao, and he gradually suspected Pei Xing.What he didn't expect was that Concubine Xiao would kill her infant child and commit suicide. At this time, the news of Qin Luochuan and Xiao Rong's death spread to the palace.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use this opportunity to steal Xiao's house to make Pei Xing relax his vigilance.It turned out that Pei Xing actually wanted to contact Xianglu to turn against him, and he didn't help Xiao Yu when he died. Qin Xuechuan knew that he must have done all this behind the scenes.

Pei Xing watched Qin Xuechuan getting more and more intoxicated with beauty and glory, and thought that the medicine he gave had worked, but in fact, he had gradually fallen into the trap Qin Xuechuan had prepared for him.

After that fake Pei Xing was put to death, Qin Xuechuan drove Wuling out according to the original plan.But what he didn't expect was that on the day he killed the fake Pei Xing, Xiao Yu saw everything he did not far away.

Wu Ling felt that as the person who loved Qin Xuechuan deeply, you should also know the truth.But that day, he didn't say anything, he handed those letters to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was silent for a long time after reading it.

He told Xiao Yu the last link of Qin Xuechuan's plan——Qin Xuechuan wanted to trigger public anger with his own body.He knew that with Xiao Yu's temperament, he would definitely go to those relatives and princes to persuade him to abdicate together, so at the last moment, when they were about to attack Fengdu, Qin Xuechuan sent Chang Jianzhi to Xiao Yu's camp alone, telling He works for the king.

In this way, on the one hand, Xiao Yu can succeed to the throne, and on the other hand, all the wolves, tigers and leopards who covet the throne can be eradicated, so that Xiao Yu can sit on the throne safely.

Qin Xuechuan knew that his life was not long, so once he passed away, there would be great chaos in the Chu country, but at that time, the number of people who died was far more than when the rebels came.That's why he made the plan in his mind.

But the only thing he didn't expect was that Xiao Yu recovered the memory of his previous life, and at the last moment he would give him a heart attack.

It would be great if he never remembered, just live like this for the rest of his life, and treat him as a heinous person.

But Xiao Yu knew.

He has the right to know that too much estrangement and helplessness between them stems from the intrigue between powers and the suspicion and suspicion of the emperor's family.

After he knew Qin Xuechuan's plan, he also followed Qin Xuechuan's idea, but in the end, it was when Qin Xuechuan wanted to die.He came up with an idea, the poison he fed Qin Xuechuan was actually Huan Hun San.

The slow poison in Qin Xuechuan's body has no solution, but he was driven out of Fengdu Wuling by Qin Xuechuan that day, but he came up with a way - to fight poison with poison.

It's just that this is a last resort, a last resort.There is very little hope of keeping people alive, and the chance of success by taking the poison again is only one in ten thousand.However, in the end Xiao Yu still had to try.

He must try, otherwise he will regret it in his life.

I still remember that day, when Xiao Yu's soldiers surrounded the palace, he personally put the emperor's body into the coffin.But when it was time to observe the funeral ceremony and read the imperial decree on the second day, he himself disappeared.

Xiao Yu knew that there were underground tunnels left behind in the palace, so he took Qin Xuechuan to find Wuling like crazy. This was the last chance for Qin Xuechuan to be born, so he refused to waste any time.

"Why doesn't he have a temperature anymore? Look at him."

Wu Ling looked at Xiao Yu's anxious look and said, "It's been a day, and he hasn't woken up. This shows that the method of fighting poison with poison has not worked."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu shook his head like ashes. He grabbed Qin Xuechuan's cold hand: "No! I don't believe it. Didn't you say you could save him?"

Wu Ling sighed helplessly: "His Majesty's death was within his expectation, and I also said that the chance of success is only one in ten thousand."

"No... I don't believe it! You said you could save him, and I just believed you would do it!" Xiao Yu cried loudly while hugging Qin Xuechuan.

"Up to now, you also know that if it is not a desperate situation, you and I will not use such a risky method. Besides, you don't know that His Majesty doesn't want to see you at all. His Majesty said that after he died His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered on Bi'ajiang, since you have sent him out of the palace, your mission has been completed, go back."

Xiao Yu held Qin Xuechuan's hand tightly in the dark: "No! I won't leave, I will wait for him to wake up! When he wakes up, I will explain to him personally. I have never blamed him or hated him. .”

Wu Ling grabbed Xiao Yu's collar tightly at this moment: "Do you know how many people your majesty has killed for this plan, and how much effort you have put in? Even he himself died for this plan, if you really want your majesty to die And if you rest in peace, then Huifengdu should obediently inherit the throne!"

"Do not--"

Xiao Yu held Qin Xuechuan tightly in his arms: "No...he never asked me if I wanted it. Without him, the imperial power in this country is just a fleeting moment to me. Without him, even if I get the best thing in the world I wouldn't be happy. He just did so much by himself, and he never told me."

Xiao Yu has never experienced what it means to be pierced to the bone, but at this moment he feels it.The moment he knew that he had lost Qin Xuechuan, he had already tasted it.

He buried his head on Qin Xuechuan's chest, hoping that Qin Xuechuan would caress him gently as before.But at this moment, he seemed so quiet, he would not say some bitter and sarcastic words, let alone quarrel with him.

And it was also at that time that his memory recovered little by little.Although Wu Ling let him read the letters from his previous life, he didn't remember any of them.But the fact that he loves Qin Xuechuan cannot be changed. No matter how long it takes or how many times he reincarnates, he can always find him and fall in love with Qin Xuechuan again.

He who lost Qin Jue in his previous life also lost his soul just like he does now, until finally Pei Zui joined forces with his uncle to force the palace to seize his throne.Only then did he know the truth about the glass of poisoned wine.

It turned out that the antidote for that cup of poisoned wine was exchanged for him only by his life.Even if the two armies are at war, even if there is a feud in front of him, both Qin Xuechuan and Qin Jue hope that he can live well.

Even though Xiao Yu didn't remember anything, he still believed Wu Ling's words, even if it was Qin Xuechuan's conspiracy again, he was willing to jump into it.

At this moment, Xiao Yufan came to his senses: "I was too confused, I shouldn't... I just want you to never leave me, but I don't know that this is never what you want."

"Perhaps His Majesty used to fight for power because he wanted to protect someone. Now that His Majesty is tired, you should let him go and let him rest well?" Wu Ling put his hand on Xiao Yu's shoulder.

Xiao Yu blurred his eyes, he was holding Qin Xuechuan's hand tightly and was about to put Qin Xuechuan down to leave, he was startled suddenly, he came back quickly and said: "Axue, Axue, I am here, are you awake?"

Wu Ling still sighed and shook his head: "You..."

"It's not my imagination, but I heard his heartbeat."

Just by looking at it, Wu Ling knew that Qin Xuechuan's chest was neither floating nor breathing, how could he be alive?

"Just now you said you wanted to leave. Your Majesty's plans are all for you. You must not disappoint Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu said excitedly again: "Come here, I really heard his heartbeat, I don't believe you come here!"

Seeing his excited and joyful expression, Wuling stepped forward suspiciously to check Qin Xuechuan's pulse.At this moment, the expression on his face also changed from sadness to joy. Although the pulse was very subtle, it was saved.

He is not breathing yet, he is afraid that he is blocking the airway with the blood stasis of attacking poison with poison, if he is not forced out, he will still die in a short time.

At this moment, Wuling rummaged through the box in a panic, and then took out a bottle of medicine with trembling hands: "Quickly, give it to Your Majesty, and His Majesty will be saved after he vomits poisonous blood."

Xiao Yu took the medicine, he squeezed Qin Xuechuan's mouth open to pour the medicine in, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it in.

Wu Ling anxiously said: "If you don't spit out the poisonous blood, Your Majesty's life may be in danger."

Xiao Yu didn't even think about it after hearing this, he put the bottle of medicine in his mouth and fed it to Qin Xuechuan.

Wu Ling's eyes widened suddenly: "You don't want to die, this medicine is also poisonous!"

Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, even Xiao Yu who has turned into ash will do the same.

Xiao Yu fed it a little, and Qin Xuechuan's complexion suddenly became worse than before.

"If you leave me again this time and leave first, then I will follow you. If I can't catch up with you for a day, I will never let go." Xiao Yu said while rubbing Qin Xuechuan's chest.

But at this moment, Qin Xuechuan reacted, he frowned slightly, and then spat out a big mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Wu Ling hurried forward. Seeing that Qin Xuechuan's pulse and breathing had recovered, he rejoiced and said, "God bless Your Majesty, that's great, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Qin Xuechuan was safe, Xiao Yu was relieved a lot. He was intoxicated by the joy of Qin Xuechuan's safety, but Wu Ling reminded him again: "Since Your Majesty is safe and sound, please hurry back to the palace and kneel to listen to His Majesty's last edict!"

"No, I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay here and wait for him to wake up!"

Wu Ling scolded again: "Your Majesty can't run away here, you should go back quickly to inherit the throne, this is what His Majesty almost risked his life to fight for you. If you were here, he would see you as soon as he woke up. Think about it, Your Majesty." What will happen?"

Hearing Wu Ling's words, Xiao Yu hesitated.

Wuling knew that he loved Qin Xuechuan, so he said this again: "Your Majesty has put in so much effort to implement this plan. He is not recovering right now, and you don't want to see His Majesty wake up and see you, get angry and fall into danger again. Bar?"

After hearing his words, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Wuling tightly: "Take care of him for me, and I will come to pick him up immediately after the matter is resolved."

"Don't worry, I have followed His Majesty for decades, so naturally I won't harm him."

After receiving this promise from Wuling, Xiao Yu went back to the palace to accept the will, and held a splendid funeral for Qin Xuechuan, the former emperor.The new emperor's mourning period expired in January, and he also held the enthronement hall and became the new emperor.

But when he went to look for Qin Xuechuan and Wuling again, they were gone.

The only thing he found at Qin Xuechuan's nearest residence was a white brocade handkerchief.It was lent to him by Qin Xuechuan when he was still a teenager...

The middle of the veil was sewn up with needles and threads. After Xiao Yu carefully tore apart the veil, there was a piece of letter paper with words written on it and a black jade finger puller inside.

"The ink jade wrench you entrusted to me for safekeeping means that it will be returned to its original owner, and the handkerchief will be given to you by me. Be an emperor well."
