The prince is difficult

Five years later

The fallen leaves were withered outside the Wanfeng Building, and the dead leaves were blowing in the wind, and there was no one in sight within a radius of tens of miles from the dormitory.In the past five years, the emperor's palace tripod has never set foot here, and he has never sent anyone to look after Concubine Ru and the little prince. It seems that they have really been forgotten. His actions have completely confirmed the outside world. rumor.

During these five years, many things happened in the outside world. The emperor appointed the queen's uterus, Yulin, as the crown prince. After Concubine Ru gave birth, Concubine Hui gave birth to a son for the emperor, named Gong Yuke.

Concubine Ru and her five-year-old son were left alone, except for one.

"Why is it you again?" Ye Zhixin had just set foot in the courtyard for a few miles, and caught a person in the grass, to be precise, it was a half-old child.

Gong Yubo was stunned, his face was covered with mud, only a pair of pitch-black eyes were exceptionally bright, he wiped his dirty hands on the gorgeous clothes, Nuonuo said: "Aunt Ye, can I talk to my little girl?" Jin to play for a while?"

"Just for a while, half an hour!" In order to convince the other party, he also swore his three fingers to the sky, his bright eyes were wide open, and he looked at Ye Zhixin expectantly.

Ye Zhixin had a cold face, but she couldn't resist the cautious look in the child's eyes.She frowned for a while before she let go, and said, "Third prince, Jin'er is different from other children. He was born with a disease and his bones are not good. You can't let him get sick like last time." , can only play in this cold palace, and must not go to other places."

Gong Yubo laughed silently in his heart, this is a method that has been tried and tested for five years. While distracted, he couldn't stop nodding to show that he knew.

Ye Zhixin stood where she was, looking deeply at the back of the half-grown child.

For the Wanfeng Tower abandoned by the imperial city, people from the outside world have avoided it for many years.Only this child seemed to be fearless.When she first appeared, she saw him secretly looking and looking outside, and refused to leave for a long time.The same goes for the second time, then the third time, and the fourth time...

She couldn't remember how many times it was, but this child was as usual, stubborn and headache-inducing, no matter it was windy or rainy, or the city was full of snow, he would always come and go alone silently.If she hadn't been observing in secret for a long time, she wouldn't be at ease letting him approach her little prince.

Thinking of Gong Jin, Ye Zhixin shook her head helplessly, and then followed with big strides.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, where are you? The third brother is here to see you." Gong Yubo was almost ten years old, tall and straight, almost as tall as Ye Zhixin's shoulders.Every time he came to find Gong Jin, his favorite thing was to hide and seek. He arched his body and moved along the wall step by step, hoping to scare him when he appeared later.

However, Gong Jin didn't answer him at all.

After searching for a long time, Gong Yubo took out a handkerchief from her bosom, sniffed it on the tip of her nose, and said temptingly again, "Xiaojin, Xiaojin, if you don't come out again, third brother wants to eat red bean cake drop."

Seeing that no one responded, Gong Yubo then lifted the veil, and a faint fragrance drifted in the air.

Gong Jin, who was hiding in the dark, stared at the pastry in his hand and couldn't help licking his lips.In the end, he was still unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, stomped his feet angrily, ran out from behind the stone bench very unwillingly, and said, "Third brother, red bean cake."

Gong Yubo grinned, took his little hand and ran to the world they shared before, and sat on the stone steps to share delicious pastries.

"Xiao Jin, I'll eat them all for you, slow down." Gong Jin was no match for the temptation of delicious food, but all the pastries brought by Gong Yubo entered his mouth.

Gong Jin stuffed her small mouth full, looked at the last few pieces, and looked at Gong Yubo with some embarrassment, quickly chewed the pastry in her mouth, and swallowed it all whole, and she didn't know what it tasted like, " Third brother, can you give all of these to Xiaojin?"

Gong Yubo couldn't see his careful look, so she couldn't help but pack it up, and stuffed it all to him, "Third brother brought it specially, of course it's for you."

"Oh, thank you third brother." Gong Jin jumped up happily, kept jumping, kept jumping, and the two jade pendants tied around her waist made a rattling sound, like a spiritual spring tinkling, making the people on the side Gong Yubo couldn't help but look sideways.

Seeing it, Gong Yubo pointed to the jade pendant embroidered with patterns and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Given by the concubine mother." Gong Jin tilted his head and looked at the two jade pendants around his waist. He didn't know what they were, but he just obeyed the concubine mother's words, and he had to wear them carefully and not take them off.

Gong Yubo pointed to one of the two pieces, "Xiao Jin, can you give one piece to the third brother? One piece for you, one piece for me, and we will never be separated forever."

Gong Jin touched the two jade pendants that were almost the same, and thought, the third brother has been so kind to me, so he should give him one.

"Jin'er, you can't." Ye Zhixin stopped Gong Jin before she untied her belt, and then explained to Gong Yubo, "Third Prince, this jade pendant is a dowry gift from Concubine Ru's old family. It's a couple, it's unlucky to separate, and I hope the third prince will forgive me."

When Gong Yubo heard this, she immediately waved her hands and said no.

Gong Jin tilted her head in a stupid way, why didn't the version she heard from her concubine mother be like this?

Afterwards, Gong Yubo dragged Gong Jin around to hide and seek, until the other party shouted that he was tired, he thoughtfully sent him back to the room.

"Xiao Jin, sleep peacefully, third brother will be here with you." Gong Yubo looked at the other party's pale face and comforted her.

Gong Jin struggled to open her eyes several times, but finally she couldn't match her tired body, and then slowly fell asleep.

Gong Yubo clenched her fists tightly and stood quietly on the side of the bed, but she couldn't help but think of five years ago, when she and her second brother had a bet on hide-and-seek, whoever lost would be punished by reciting poems.Then he subconsciously hid in the bedroom of his mother and concubine.

"Hahaha, Concubine Shu, the opportunity for us to stand up has come. I have been looking forward to it, but I never thought that Concubine Ru will have such a day, retribution."

"Don't say it so loudly, don't you think the matter of Concubine Ru is not messy enough? Now, the emperor has sent the imperial bodyguard Ji Xingfeng to thoroughly investigate this matter. In case, in case what we did before is found out, Then what should I do?" Concubine Shu turned pale with anxiety, walking back and forth restlessly.

"Concubine Shu, don't you want to take the initiative to confess? Don't forget, we are grasshoppers sitting on the same boat. What's more, if the royal family's children die and poison the harem concubines, any of the crimes will be punished." From the Nine Clans, could it be that you forgot that you still have the Third Prince to take care of?"

Gong Yubo didn't know when he crawled out of his concubine's bed at the time, but when the eunuchs and maids from the outside world talked privately about Concubine Ru, most of them would mention the baby who was still in her infancy. Prince.

Poor, she was abandoned by her father when she was born, and her mother and concubine became a lunatic because of the stimulation. I'm afraid that even this little life won't last long.

After that, he inquired a lot before he found Wanfenglou, a place forbidden to enter by the people in the palace, a cold palace, even a dead building. There were three people living in the building, a lunatic, a child, and a cold man. woman.

At first, Gong Yubo just wanted to see if the child who was rumored to die soon would die, and then she came day by day, habitually chasing that little figure, time passed day by day, and a year passed without knowing it up.During this period, Gong Jin suffered from serious and minor illnesses one after another. The little figure was a little smaller than a normal child, his face was sallow, and he seemed to have only one breath left.

I'm afraid that all of this is caused by the poison that his mother and concubine said.

Thinking that this little guy would leave this world soon, a sense of reluctance and guilt made him go directly to the Imperial Hospital to get many kinds of medicinal materials in the name of his mother and concubine, and secretly put them outside the door.

After a long time, Ye Zhixin allowed him to approach Gong Jin.

"Third prince, it's getting late, you should go back." Ye Zhixin pushed open the door and reminded in a low voice.

Gong Yubo nodded, stood up, looked and looked reluctantly, and finally left slowly.

After he left, a figure flashed into Gong Jin's room quickly and landed silently.

"Xiang Rong, is there a cure for the poison in Jin'er's body?" Ye Zhixin asked anxiously.

Ye Xiangrong glanced at her, "Of course I have, and you don't even think about who I am. But this time, for this girl, I traveled all over the five mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, crossed mountains, rivers and lakes, and finally found the Ten Thousand Poisonous Flower as an introduction. Tell me, if you save this girl, how will you repay her?"

Ye Zhixin looked at each other angrily, "Since we found the medicine to induce, we immediately started to detoxify them. This poison is very overbearing. If you stay longer, it will be more dangerous."

Ye Xiangrong spread his hands in an extremely embarrassed way, "But there is only one Yaoyin plant, probably, there is only one plant like this in the whole world."

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhixin opened her mouth with difficulty.

"The meaning is very simple. Among the two people, Ru Concubine and Gong Jin, you can only choose to detoxify one of them, while the other will be swallowed by the poison little by little until the last moment before death. Sister, you have to think Clear."

Ye Zhixin's eyes darkened, and she stepped back dozens of steps. If it wasn't for the wall behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Ye Xiangrong also knew her inner struggle, so he didn't bother, just sat quietly, poured a cup of tea and waited for her to announce the answer.

Should I save Concubine Ru or the child who has been tortured by poison for five years?
