After I died, the sickly prince turned black

You Ziqing began to doubt life, doubting and doubting, crossed his legs and propped his chin with one hand, and fell asleep like that.

Sleeping uneasy, sometimes being chased by his own portraits whirling like a tornado, and sometimes beating the walls of the house full of his own portraits.

Searching for nowhere, he was in a hurry when he heard the sound of a wooden fish beeping, and a ray of light broke through the wall. He instinctively chased after the light.

From a distance, he saw Abbot Huishan in a monk's robe smiling at him in compassion for all beings. Before he could go up to say hello, the other party closed the vermilion lacquered door with a smile.

You Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and when she instinctively rushed to open the door, she found that the door was gone.In front of you is the familiar corridor, the lotus fish pond, but the vermilion lacquer is mottled, the lotus is decaying, and the fish are turning their belly.

Depression everywhere, it was the Prince Regent's Palace in his previous life.

No, can't stay here, don't stay here!

You Ziqing ran like crazy to find a way out, but a raging fire ignited under his feet.

There were all kinds of people outside the flames, familiar ones, strange ones, hideous and painful ones, there were so many people, but no matter how much he yelled, no one came in to give him a hand, and they all looked at him numbly.

You Ziqing saw Zhao Zhen in the crowd. His hands and feet were in shackles, blood and tears were profuse, but he was the only one looking over the flames with firm eyes.

"Zhao Zhen, don't move!" Seeing Zhao Zhen striding towards him, You Ziqing yelled in horror: "Don't come here! Get out! Get out! Zhao Zhen, don't come over here! Don't come over!"

You Ziqing woke up suddenly, he seemed to be able to see the burning fire in front of his eyes, his chest heaved sharply, until he was pulled over his shoulders and saw Zhao Zhen's worried face, he woke up from the aftertaste of the nightmare , closed his eyes, rushed over and hugged Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen felt the trembling of the person in his arms, and hurriedly hugged and patted his back: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare, don't be afraid."

You Ziqing gasped heavily for two breaths before suppressing the palpitations, and withdrew from Zhao Zhen's arms, took his hand to look at it, lifted the quilt to look at his feet, then raised his head and reached out to touch his face.

"Ziqing..."

"No, it's okay..." You Ziqing leaned back into Zhao Zhen's arms: "I dreamed that a ghost hit the wall, and I was always being chased by my own portrait."

"It's up to me. I shouldn't have brought you here without packing." Zhao Zhen said hastily.

"No." You Ziqing closed her eyes: "Although it's very perverted, but it's very touching, how can You Ziqing, He De..."

"Because you are You Ziqing." Zhao Zhen interrupted him, and then changed the topic: "Do you often have nightmares? It's not good to rest like this. I'll ask Imperial Physician Wu to prescribe you a tranquilizer..."

"I don't do it often." You Ziqing looked like he hadn't slept, and was very tired.

"Get up and have something to eat, I'll take you back later." Zhao Zhen said.

"I don't want to move, let me lean in for a while." You Ziqing clicked his tongue: "Sure enough, Your Highness is right, this is not as good as outside, so many portraits make me want to vomit, it scared me to death."

Zhao Zhen: "..."

"Actually, I know that His Highness brought me here mainly to satisfy your wicked taste."

You Ziqing regained his strength, lightly hooked Zhao Zhen's chin with his fingers, and acted like a prodigal son: "Do you think you still want to draw a copy for your collection? You are so violent and perverted in your bones, but you pretended to be so in your last life." Aren't you tired of following the rules and being gentle and refined?"

Zhao Zhen: "..."

"Don't let me see those portraits again in the future, otherwise I will draw your nude portrait in the town house and send it all over the street."

You Ziqing pushed Zhao Zhen away, and put on his shoes, "Let's go, I don't want to stay here for a moment!"

You Ziqing ran out while dressing as if chased by a dog, Zhao Zhen looked at him jumping away, as if he had returned to the time when he was in the study, but there was no joy in his brows.

If you are disturbed by nightmares, it means that you are still trapped by inner demons.

Looking at You Ziqing, who obviously didn't come out completely, but tried to live a normal life, Zhao Zhen felt very distressed.

And what he can do is to pull him a little bit towards the direction of the light, because they are essentially the same kind of people.

Because You Ziqing was in a hurry to leave, the two of them didn't have dinner at the villa, and took it directly to the carriage.

I don't know if dreaming consumes too much energy, but You Ziqing has a good appetite and has used a lot more than usual.

"Go back and have a good sleep. You don't have to worry about the Song family's affairs, I'll keep an eye on it." Zhao Zhen paused: "But for the Zhong family, I'm ready to do something."

"Zhao Ji and the Zhong family got closer?"

It was originally intended to let Zhao Zhen win over the Zhong family, but after the last conversation in Zhuangshang, You Ziqing found out that Zhao Zhen had no such plan, so he didn't open his mouth, and he didn't mention it again.

But now that Zhao Zhen suddenly mentioned it, he didn't need to think about it, it should be Zhao Ji who took action.

"Yeah." Zhao Zhen said: "Yesterday he went to Zhenbao Pavilion and collected a luminous water jade and silver tree. The Zhong family sent it to Concubine Zhong Gui. It seems that he has begun to think about adoption."

"The Song family is unreliable now, it's normal for him to be anxious." You Ziqing took a sip of tea: "What is your Highness going to do?"

"It's very simple. Just exterminating the royal family is enough to destroy the Zhong family."

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "Not to mention that the Zhong family has committed a lot of crimes over the years, bullying men and women, ignoring human lives, embezzlement and bribery, everything is there."

"Your Highness's meaning..." You Ziqing looked shocked: "The prince's extinct heir was caused by the Zhong family?!"

"To be precise, it is Concubine Zhong Gui." Zhao Zhen said calmly: "All the women in the harem are flocking to the father, and I am afraid that she is the only one who wants to swallow their flesh and drink their blood."

You Ziqing blinked.

Zhao Zhen said: "Concubine Zhong Gui has been in the palace for many years, her favor is not fading, but she has nothing to show for it."

It didn't take Zhao Zhen to explain it, You Ziqing understood: "Is it the emperor?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

You Ziqing couldn't help feeling a little emotional, another karma.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to care?" You Ziqing had already noticed that when Zhao Zhen mentioned the emperor, his reaction was very strange. He had no respect for his father or the emperor, just like treating a stranger who had nothing to do with him. , indifferent to almost cold-blooded.

But in his previous life, he didn't remember what happened to the father and son. Even before the death of the emperor, Zhao Zhen cried and swollen his eyes. Among the sick princes, he was the most sincere.

"Even if he dies now, my eyes will be swollen from crying, and I will do my filial piety with sincerity." Zhao Zhen bit the word "sincerity" very hard.

You Ziqing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that he had unconsciously expressed what was in his heart, and immediately looked at Zhao Zhen with embarrassment.

Zhao Zhen was amused by You Ziqing's expression, but quickly put away his smile: "Back when the Wei family was overthrown and the queen mother committed suicide in the palace, I thought it was really the Wei family's greed for power and treason. It was only when the man died that I realized that it was just a game he set up."

this……

You Ziqing knew.

When I was working in Dali Temple in my previous life, I read the rebellion files of the Wei family at that time, and deduced it based on clues...

No wonder Zhao Zhen, who had always been lukewarm with the Wei family, suddenly became close after the emperor's death. It turned out that it was because after learning the truth, the previous suspicions were resolved.

And You Ziqing also became murderous because of the close relationship between the Wei family and Zhao Zhen, and acted for Zhao Ji to eradicate the Wei family.

Zhao Zhen felt guilty for wrongly blaming the Wei family, and even regarded the Wei family as his only relatives. When he tried to make up for it, You Ziqing attacked the Wei family. How much hatred should he have at that time?

Thinking of this, You Ziqing suddenly panicked, and wanted to turn around but was held by Zhao Zhen's hand.

"Houfu is here." Zhao Zhen touched You Ziqing's suddenly pale face: "Don't worry about going back, take a good rest, I may not have time to come and see you these days, if I don't come, don't worry, But whenever I get the chance, I will definitely come.”

"Yeah." You Ziqing nodded, "Then I'm going back."

You Ziqing got out of the carriage, but didn't go back immediately. He kept watching Zhao Zhen's carriage leave before drifting into the door in a daze.
