Offer a tripod

Chapter 7 Underwater

Chu Yu took the hand that was hugging him, swung it down gently, and turned around with a sullen face.Yuan Jing didn't notice, he smiled and rushed forward again, most of his face was originally buried in the white hair on his neckline, but now he was fully exposed when he was upside down, and even the newly made jade lock necklace hanging around his neck followed his movements Jumped up: "Father told me to wait in the palace, if you don't come for a long time, I know you are here!"

Chu Yu looked at him for a moment, and suddenly understood why the emperor called him into the palace on the day of the New Year's tribute.That is to make him see the current situation with no one to rely on, and also to let him know that only the prince who is waiting in the palace can be his backer. From.

He hated being threatened the most in his life, if it wasn't for his unruly temperament and disdain to restrain himself, he probably wouldn't be able to enter Beijing.After thinking about this verse, he secretly sneered.At that time, the surface of the water was sparkling, and the chill became worse after the ice was broken. Yuan Jing was already afraid of the cold, so he shrank his neck and pulled him: "It's too cold here, let's go back quickly."

Chu Yu dropped his hand and said coldly: "Your Highness misunderstood, my trip this time is not only to reply to the order, but also to resist the order."

Yuan Jing was stunned, he understood, but he didn't know why Chu Yu suddenly changed his face: "Brother..." His eyes fell on the little thing with two wings and one handle pinned to his waist, and he said with some joy: "Is this for me?"

Chu Yu tore it off and threw it to the side. When the wind blew, the bamboo dragonfly fluttered and fell into the water. He said in a bad tone: "Your Highness, I told you, don't call me that again." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.Yuan Jing was frightened by his fierce voice, but he didn't know how to be afraid. Seeing that he wanted to leave, he stretched out his hand and pulled.Chu Yu was so determined to go, he couldn't hold back, so he put his arms around his waist like a fool, and wrapped his whole body around him: "If you don't bark, don't bark, you can speak clearly before leaving."

Chu Yu was already very bored, and being entangled by him like this, he became angry, and he didn't care about the difference of superiority or inferiority. He held his wrist, and the wrist bone under his palm was so thin that it was not enough to hold it. He stroked his veins.

Yuan Jing said "Ouch", and let go in pain, and Chu Yu pushed him back, throwing him to the side.Although he only used three parts of his force, Yuan Jing couldn't stand still, he raised his head and fell down the stone railing.

The ice floe was crushed to pieces, and Yuan Jing fell heavily into the water. The back of his head felt numb for a moment, and he opened his mouth to call for help, and the ice water filled his mouth and nose, and his chest hurt like it was about to be torn apart.The thick clothes soaked up the water and became as heavy as a rock, sinking deeper and deeper as they fell on him.The further he went down, the colder it became. His whole body felt like knives were being cut, and he was flailing wildly, but he couldn't float up anyway.There was chaos under the water, and when he lowered his head, Yuan Jing could vaguely see a mess. He wondered inappropriately, are there aquatic plants in winter?

The half-arm-long red carp swam close to the mass, and with a slight swing of its tail, it separated the "water plants", revealing half of a bluish-purple-looking thing that looked like a human face.Although he couldn't see clearly in the water, just this one glance made Yuan Jing scream in fright, and when he opened his mouth, there was a gurgling sound of choking water, the already frozen blood seemed to rush to the top of his head, and his consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by fear and The cold engulfed it.

In panic, a hand grabbed him tightly and dragged him upstream.

When Chu Yu came up wet from the water with the person in his arms, Yuan Jing was unconscious, his lips were purple from the cold, and there was no heat from his body.He called a few times, but there was no response, he was terrified, and rushed to Yanfu Hall with Yuan Jing in his arms.

The people in the Yanfu Palace turned their backs on their backs, and the palace people were so busy that they didn't touch the ground.All those on duty in the medical office were summoned, and not long after, Emperor Yan also rushed over.He passed Chu Yu who was kneeling outside the door, and entered the hall.The medical officer knelt down on the ground, and he barely glanced over, frowning: "Why didn't Xue Yi come?" Liu Lin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister was infected with the cold, and Xue Dianyu was sent by you to the prime minister's mansion to ask for pulse." Already." Emperor Yan waved his hand, thinking of this incident: "Forget it, how is the crown prince?"

He replied: "The crown prince was frightened a little bit. He was fed a bowl of ginseng soup just now, and he is fine now. You just need to take good care of him."

Emperor Yan walked in with a sullen face.Yuan Jing curled up on the bed, he didn't know whether it was cold or frightened, his body was covered with a thick quilt, and he couldn't stop shivering.Originally, Emperor Yan's heart sank a little after hearing the medical officer's words, but now seeing Yuan Jing's pitiful, bloodless face with his own eyes, his anger welled up again.He sat beside Yuan Jing's bed, not daring to lift the quilt, but just reached in and touched it.Today, the fire wall was burning, and everyone in the hall was sweating profusely, but Yuan Jing's palm was only warm. Emperor Yan felt distressed, and made gestures, as if he didn't know where to touch, and finally pressed the quilt lightly for him, Ask: "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Yuan Jing lowered his eyelashes and shook his head with a weary expression.Emperor Yan looked at him for a moment, then turned to say: "Call the one outside the door to come in."

Seeing his serious face, Liu Lin knew that Emperor Yan was really angry this time, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly called for someone.When Chu Yu walked in, he walked very steadily, and he could not tell that he had been kneeling for a long time. The water on his body had turned into thin ice, and even his hair was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.When the frost met the warmth, it melted drippingly, and every time he took a step, there was a puddle of water stains on the ground.Kneeling down in front of Emperor Yan, he didn't show any expression, neither knowing the cold nor being afraid.

Emperor Yan asked coldly: "What's going on?"

Chu Yu raised his eyes, looked past him and looked at Yuan Jing who didn't know when to sit up, and was still trembling, and slowly opened his mouth: "It's me..."

"Father Emperor," only took two words, and was interrupted by Yuan Jing, who said in a hoarse voice: "I accidentally fell down myself!"

Chu Yu's heart moved, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.Emperor Yan looked back at Yuan Jing, as if he didn't believe it, but Yuan Jing was extremely stubborn, his upper and lower teeth chattered from the cold, and he said decisively: "He passed by and rescued me!"

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, but Emperor Yan couldn't resist him, so he patted his hand and said, "Lie down first." He glanced at Chu Yu again, and his tone was not very dignified: "Since you saved the prince, I will reward you well." Go ahead and go to the Daqing Hall to wait."

When Chu Yu was waiting outside, he had already thought about the consequences. Now he was not surprised to see that the emperor wanted to avoid the crown prince and settle accounts with him. He knocked and said expressionlessly, "Yes."

Yuan Jing tugged at Emperor Yan's sleeve and said in a panic, "He's not going anywhere. We agreed that he will play with me after returning to the palace!"

He spoke eagerly, and before he finished speaking, he started coughing, which lasted for a long time, and Emperor Yan couldn't care less because he was distressed, and patted his back for him and said: "Okay, I'm not going anywhere, just let him stay Accompany you, you have a good rest." Xiao Liu, who stood by and waited on him, knew how to read words and expressions, and hurried forward to coax the prince to lie down obediently for him.

Although Yuan Jing lay down, he looked at Emperor Yan without blinking, as if he was afraid that he would take Chu Yu away.He is usually the most gentle and obedient.Today's words and deeds are very different from those in the past, Emperor Yan felt suspicious, and couldn't figure out whether the child had been frightened severely and hadn't recovered his soul yet.After looking at the prince for a while, he said to Chu Yu: "In that case, you can stay."

Chu Yu also felt that the little thing was a little strange, and looked over suspiciously, but he lowered his eyes and avoided his gaze.When Emperor Yan left and he came back after changing his clothes, Yuan Jing still kept curled up.Chu Yu got angry before, but now he has calmed down, looked at him intently for a moment, and finally felt that something was wrong with him, so he left Xiao Liu and sat next to him: "Your Highness?"

Yuan Jing didn't even look at him, he rolled left and right, wrapping himself tighter like a zongzi, Chu Yu half squatted beside the bed, lowered his head to meet his eyes, Yuan Jing didn't allow him to look, and quickly closed his eyes. On the upper eye, the long eyelashes flutter from time to time.Seeing that his face had turned rosy, Chu Yu stretched out his hand to reach out, and the fingers on the quilt were also warm as usual, so he was a little relieved.

With a light cough, he pushed aside for him the jade lock necklace with the words "Shouchang Yonggu" written on it, and said softly, "Are you angry with me?"

It's okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Yuan Jing curled up under the quilt, and after a while, he said sullenly, "I'm going to sleep."

Chu Yu was stunned, seeing how much he was pestering him, he was suddenly shut down, a little unaccustomed to it, looked at him for a long time, and then hesitated: "Yes, the minister went outside and waited." He left After a few steps, I looked back, and found that this little thing poked out from under the quilt at some point, only revealing a pair of black eyes.

Seeing Chu Yu looking at him, he flinched back and said under the quilt: "Don't run around."

Chu Yu was dumbfounded by his nagging.After walking out of the bedroom, the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he sneaked out of the Yanfu Hall and came to the place where Yuan Jing fell into the water before.

The surface of the stream has returned to calm, and the broken ice floes have gradually flowed to one place, which seems to be about to freeze.Chu Yu broke off a thick and long branch covered with snow, and plunged into the water.With a sudden force under his palm, the surface of the water was stirred up, and the fallen leaves of the red carp were tossed non-stop following his movements.

He stared at the stream gushing out of the whirlpool without blinking, and suddenly saw a foreign object that should never appear here.Throw the branch aside, step on the stone steps, and jump into the water.It didn't take long for the icy water to submerge, and he jumped out carrying a dead body tied to a boulder that had sunk into the river.

It was a female corpse, soaked in water for a long time, rotten to the bone, no age can be seen, before dying, she was terrified, and she was still holding a drum tightly in her hand.Chu Yu shattered her four phalanges with a stick, and the small drum fell out of her palm.

This tambourine drum is exquisitely drawn, unlike ordinary people's things.After soaking in the water for so long, the painted paintings on it are still as vivid as before, and two crystal clear glass beads are hanging on the drum ear, which makes a crisp sound when shaken lightly.

People who know how to play with such gadgets don't think otherwise.Chu Yu looked at the swollen female corpse on the ground, and remembered Yuan Jing's eager expression when he grabbed Emperor Yan earlier, and he understood everything for a while.

There was an inexplicable movement in his heart, and the remaining melancholy from before quietly dissipated.After thinking for a moment, using the branch as a sword, he picked up the corpse and hurried away.

Carrying such a thing, he couldn't go on the usual road. He searched and hid several times before throwing it into a dry well covered with falling snow.
