Offer a tripod

The mid-autumn frost in the Imperial Garden seemed to have just melted away, and Chu Yu came back with Wu Shan.Yuan Jing was sitting at the table reading a book. Since he suffered from the cold this year, causing early poisoning, Emperor Yan paid special attention to him. After autumn, he avoided eating cold things, and his clothes were thicker than ordinary people's.In the room just now, Yuan Jing thought it was too hot and took off some clothes. When he heard that someone was coming, he threw the pen and ran away. As a result, he sneezed as soon as he left the palace door. In the middle of the day, the aura of that person was familiar, Yuan Jing raised his head and smiled: "Brother, you are back."

Seeing his scheming smile, Chu Yu felt as if he had been stabbed by a poisonous needle. Fortunately, Yuan Jing turned away from him and walked around to look for Wu Shan.Chu Yu heard them chattering behind him, didn't bother to look back, and left without saying a word.

Yuan Jing hurriedly said: "Are you really going back to He Qi?"

Wu Shan boasted nonchalantly: "It's my brother who wants to leave, I'm not leaving." He lifted his collar: "Aren't you hot wearing so much?"

Xiao Liu didn't think it was enough, so he chased after him with a cloak, and was about to put it on him, Yuan Jing pushed Xiao Liu, and went into the hall: "It's not hot, let's go in and talk about it." Only then did he step into the hall door , poked out another small head: "Hey, where is my elder brother?"

Wu Shan said: "I think he left just now." He lowered his voice and whispered in Yuan Jing's ear: "I think he is in a bad mood today, and his face was sullen all the way, so I dare not talk to him."

Xiao Liu apologized and said with a smile: "Perhaps he didn't sleep well this morning, the son woke up before five o'clock."

Wu Shan suddenly realized: "That may be going back to sleep!" Yuan Jing knew the reason for him getting up early, and was going to look for him immediately, but he said with a smile: "Then let him go to sleep. We Play."

The two of them had been messing around all day. During dinner, Yuan Jing felt that there was one person missing at the table. Looking around, he asked in surprise, "Brother, haven't you woken up yet?"

Xiao Liu also felt strange, in the past, the prince had been scolded many times today, so he coaxed the prince to sit down: "Your Highness will eat first, and the slave will go and see him."

Yuan Jing always felt something was wrong and couldn't sit still: "I'll go by myself."

There is a tall red maple planted in the palace where Chu Yu lives. It is cold and early this year, and the leaves are already dark red. On weekdays, he likes to practice martial arts under this tree most.As soon as Yuan Jing walked in today, he saw that the branches were withered, and the red leaves fell to the ground layer by layer, as if they were rolled down by internal force, and there were many traces of cutting with sharp blades on the trunk.Yuan Jing blinked, clenched his fist, and walked lightly into the room.

It was extremely dark inside, Yuan Jing whispered: "Brother? Are you there?"

No one responded, and when they walked into the room, the bed was empty, except for the rustling sound of the red maple being blown in the courtyard.Yuan Jing walked around the room a few times and muttered, "Strange, where are you?" He sat at the table and waited for a while, then had to go back first.After asking around during the meal, they all said that they had never seen Chu Yu.Yuan Jing panicked and said, "Isn't it lost?"

Wu Shan comforted him and said, "How can a man of his age lose it? Maybe he can play somewhere."

Yuan Jingshi ate for a while without taste, and told Xiao Liu: "I'm still worried, you ask the guards to look for it."

After the order was issued, Chu Yu appeared. When Yuan Jing saw him, he didn't want to eat any food. He hurried over to hold his hand. Chu Yu put his hands behind his back: "What is your Highness looking for me for?"

Yuan Jing had never heard him talk to him in such a cold tone—even when they first met, he was taken aback for a moment before saying: "It's okay, have you eaten?"

Chu Yu said: "I have eaten."

Xiao Liu was listening to him, and felt that Chu Yu was a little strange today, so he said, "Your Highness won't be able to see you tonight, and you haven't had a good meal. Why don't you sit down with His Highness and eat some more."

Chu Yu looked down, saw Yuan Jing's expectant eyes, and looked away from him: "This subordinate is a little tired. If His Highness is fine, I will go back first." Without waiting for permission, he turned and left.He walked like the wind, and Yuan Jing didn't react until his figure disappeared, leaving behind a sentence of "I'll go and see", and ran after him, Wu Shan shouted repeatedly behind him without stopping him.

Yuan Jing chased him into the room, only to find that he wasn't there, and asked the patrolling guards, they couldn't explain why, Yuan Jing felt so wronged by such a cold reception for no reason, and sat cross-legged on his bed aggressively, I vowed to wait for him to come back and ask for clarification.I don't know how long he waited, but in the end, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the pillow without the quilt.In the dimness, it seemed that someone came in and hugged him into the quilt. Yuan Jing was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. Reflexively stretched out his hand and pulled it in vain. He thought it was a dream, and murmured: "Brother... ..."

Chu Yu ignored him, covered him with a quilt, and turned to leave.When the morning light was twilight, the morning bell in the palace rang. Yuan Jing rubbed his eyes and sat up. There was nothing around him, only Xiao Liu was guarding the bed. He was still confused. Seeing that he was covered with a quilt, he thought it was Chu Yu who had returned. He closed his eyes and asked, "Where's my elder brother?"

Xiao Liu said cautiously: "It seems to be on duty outside."

Yuan Jing yawned: "I didn't feel when he left."

Xiao Liu thought to himself: He didn't come back to sleep.However, he didn't dare to say this in front of Yuan Jing, so he answered it twice and waited for him to get up and change his clothes.Although Yuan Jing felt that Chu Yu was a little strange last night, he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't see him until he came back from school, so he got anxious.When he sent someone to look for him, Chu Yu found out after hearing the news, but he liked to ignore him if he wanted to talk to him.

At least I stayed in his room that night.After Yuan Jing went to bed, he deliberately covered the quilt randomly, with his hands and feet stretched out, waiting eagerly for him to fix himself.Unexpectedly, he only glanced at it, didn't even say a word, and lay down with his back to him, leaving a large clear space.Yuan Jing shouted behind him: "What's the matter with you?"

Chu Yu breathed calmly, as if he had fallen asleep.Yuan Jing knew that he was pretending, so he turned around angrily and bit the corner of the quilt.The two stalemate in the dark for a long time, Yuan Jing finally couldn't bear it, he turned around and hugged him tentatively, and just put his hand on his waist, he was hit immediately, and the back of his hand turned red on the spot.Except for the last time when he was kidnapped by the bad guys, Yuan Jing had never been treated so unreasonably since he was born. He froze in place, not knowing whether to be angry or angry.

Chu Yu only felt a gust of wind in the quilt, knew that he sat up, waited for a long time but did not get any response from the other side, and said impatiently: "If you don't want to sleep, go."

Yuan Jing wore a moon-white tunic, walked past him without a word, and got off the bed barefoot.Chu Yu saw that he seemed to wipe his face vigorously, and the thin little figure disappeared outside the door. His heart was extremely disturbed, and when he covered his head, he felt that the brocade quilt was full of his breath, and he couldn't sleep even more.After a while, hurried footsteps came from my ears, and it was Xiao Liu who came.He panicked and shouted outside the door: "My lord, the crown prince has run to the top of the hall."

Chu Yu said angrily: "Why did he go there?"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, as if frightened by his tone, and it took a long time before he said: "He said...to see the moon. Please take him down quickly, he doesn't wear much clothes, and he won't let anyone follow him, in case he gets cold We can't afford it if it breaks or falls off."

Chu Yu's breath suddenly became heavier, and he slammed the bed board: "Understood." He picked up a coat beside the bed and went out.

The moonlight fell on the golden tiles like frost.Chu Yu went up to the top of the hall, and saw Yuan Jing sitting curled up, looking up at the sky, still wearing the same outfit when he came out, now shivering with cold.Chu Yu was so angry that he unfolded his coat and wrapped him up. When Yuan Jing turned around and saw him, he immediately resisted and pushed him with his clothes on.Chu Yu didn't try to coax him, anyway, he was weak, so he just carried him into the bedroom without saying a word.Seeing that the prince's lips were turning white from the cold, Xiao Liu hurriedly brought a hand stove over, Yuan Jing sat on the bed with his hands behind his back, and refused to pick it up.Xiao Liu looked at this, then at that, finally put the hand stove by the bed, and walked away cautiously.

As soon as the palace door closed, Chu Yu went to hold his hand, Yuan Jing struggled a few times, but was still pulled out.Seeing that the back of his hand was red and swollen, Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment. Before he could say anything, Yuan Jing pulled his hand back forcefully, sucked his nose, and gritted his teeth without looking at him.Chu Yu didn't know how to comfort her, so she said, "You... sleep."

When he turned around, seeing Yuan Jing was still the same, he sighed softly.He didn't go far, and in the bedroom, he could see his tall figure projected on the palace door.At that time, Wan Lai was silent, Chu Yu closed his eyes, listened to the sound of swimming fish under the water pavilion slapping the water surface, stood facing the wind for a while, and suddenly heard a slight movement behind him, he didn't look back, and after a while, someone pulled himself cuffs.Chu Yu looked down, and Yuan Jing looked at him with red eyes, like a little rabbit, he was stunned for a moment, and his tone was rarely hesitant: "You want me to go in?"

Yuan Jingjing nodded, turned around and went back first.On the bed, she didn't say a word, just turned her back to him.Chu Yu found a box of ointment, took him out of the quilt, hugged him between his legs and rubbed the ointment on him.Yuan Jing didn't know whether he was tired or sleepy, so he obediently did not move, Chu Yu rubbed him for a while, and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan Jing rubbed his eyes and nodded aggrievedly.Chu Yu avoided his sight, took some ointment again, and rubbed the back of his hand gently.After a while, Yuan Jing asked in a nasal voice: "Why are you angry?"

Chu Yu said: "Not angry." Put him back on the bed: "Sleep." He also lay down, and after a while, a cold body came close to him.Chu Yu was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, bent his legs and let his ice-like feet stick to his warm skin.

Yuan Jing rested on his arm, slept for a while, and then asked a little worriedly: "I don't hurt anymore, will you still be angry tomorrow?"

Chu Yu's heart softened, and he thought to himself: It's not his idea, what do I care about with him?Raising his hand, he took another look: "Don't be angry anymore." Yuan Jing sniffed, and then he buried his little head in the socket of his neck in peace.

In the next few days, although Chu Yu no longer responded to indifference, his attitude was not as close as before. Before seeing Yuan Jing messing around, he always had to preach after stopping people. Although he also stopped him now, he didn't say a word , quite a bit of resignation, almost no different from other imperial guards in the palace.Yuan Jing asked several times, but he lazily rubbed his hair, saying "I think too much", Yuan Jing was at a loss what to do, and he couldn't get excited playing with Wu Shan every day.After Wu Shan found out, he guessed, "Maybe he wants to go home."

The elder brother's words "some people want to go home but can't go back" still ringing in his ears, Wu Shan didn't understand at that time, but now that he thinks about it, only Chu Yu in this palace is from the far border like them, so he must be talking about him.

Yuan Jing opened his mouth and twisted the hem of his clothes for a long time, but he couldn't say the words to let him go.Seeing his dejected look, Wu Shan hurriedly said: "It's not necessarily because of this, maybe it's because of a girl I like. When I got my first concubine, I was a bit like him. I went to him during the day They all think I'm annoying."

Except for the few concubines of Emperor Yan, there are indeed many young and beautiful palace maids. Chu Yu is young and Yingwei, and wanders around in the harem all day long. Less romantic debt.Yuan Jing frowned and said: "How can I do that, this is a taboo."

Wu Shan was puzzled and asked: "Why?" Yuan Jing patiently explained to him, and when he heard that "the maids in the palace are all the emperor's women", Wu Shan was greatly surprised. Bearing children is the most important thing on the prairie, because the folk customs are open, even the maids under his father's account, as long as they are not favored, they can marry on their own.He couldn't help snorting: the emperor has only one person, how can he handle so many women, it's too greedy.

But he couldn't say that. Seeing Yuan Jing's worried face, he suggested, "Why don't we go to his room and see, maybe we can find something?"

Yuan Jing hesitated for a moment: "Is this not good?"

Wu Shan said: "What's wrong, the imperial palace is your home, so why don't you hang around in your own home? Besides, if he really commits that... palace taboo, you can help him cover it up."

The last sentence moved Yuan Jing, he looked around, saw that Chu Yu had run off to nowhere, and made up his mind: "Then let's go back quickly, don't let him know."

Wu Shan also gave a solemn "shh": "Okay!"

The two turned the corridor across the courtyard and sneaked into Chu Yu's residence. Wu Shan saw the maple tree with few leaves left, and was still wondering: "Why are all the leaves gone?" Turning around, he saw that Yuan Jing had entered After leaving the room, he hurriedly said, "Wait for me."

Chu Yu has been resting in his bedroom for a while, and Yuan Jing has not been here for several days.Xu Shi had cleaned it before going out, and the room was very tidy.It's just that his room is full of knives, guns, swords and halberds. It is already gloomy and solemn, but the windows are still closed, making it even more dull.Wu Shan thought it was airtight, so he opened the window casually, and the two rummaged through it. Although they didn't see any trace of a woman staying here, they accidentally found a baby bird in the bedroom.It is only the size of a palm, and its body is covered with a layer of light yellow down. It looks no different from ordinary birds. It was teased and turned around, only to see sharp beaks and sharp claws.

Wu Shan smiled when he saw it: "Hey, where did the young eagle come from?" He picked up a piece of meat that hadn't been cut into small pieces by the side of the cage, and stretched it in to feed it.Although the young eagle was small in stature, it was very brave. It grabbed the piece of meat in one bite, but couldn't swallow it for a while, and refused to let it go. Wu Shan loosened the pincers and let it bite by itself.

Yuan Jing had never seen a young eagle before, so he stood by the cage and watched intently for a while, then stretched his fingers into the cage to caress.In the past, all food was brought in, but the young eagle put down the piece in its mouth and pecked aggressively.Yuan Jing let out an "Ouch", and his fingertips were pecked out with blood.Seeing that his wound was bleeding profusely, Wu Shan slapped the cage angrily, and the small iron cage shook suddenly. Yuan Jing didn't want to make trouble, so he pressed the cage and said, "It's okay, I was not careful, let's go " Wu Shan was eager to take him to apply the medicine, and covered his hands for him: "Okay."

The door of the room was lightly closed, and no one saw the young eagle flapping its wings in pain and slamming against the door of the cage with a piece of meat in its mouth, which could not be swallowed. Those few faint chirps came soon It was blown away by the cold wind in late autumn.

At sunset, Chu Yu returned to his room with the red sun hanging down to the west. When he opened the door, he saw a maple leaf falling on the ground at some point. Come here, shine on the quiet black iron cage.

Chu Yu's face was extremely cold for a moment, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and after the rustling new wind passed, the iron cage was split open.

A baby eagle lay dead for a long time in the pale moonlight.
