The reborn prince is hard to raise

Jiang Yu prostrated and knelt on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, and the continuous coolness slowly spread into his body and gradually soaked into his blood.He clearly heard the sound of the teacup gently falling on the table, and the sound of the queen's heavy footsteps.Such an atmosphere made him feel like he was about to freeze his breath.

"Jiang Yu." The queen's voice came from above her head, carrying a high and dignified appearance.In front of his eyes, he could see the corners of the robe embroidered with golden phoenix patterns swaying, casting layers of shadows.

"The servant is here." Jiang Yu replied respectfully.His figure was as stable as his voice, and he remained motionless after kneeling for a long time.

"Why are you loyal to me?" Xu Qiwu looked at Jiang Yu's back, a figure she was familiar with.When she married into Prince Jin's Mansion, he had already followed behind Lu Zezhang.After Lu Zezhang ascended the throne, he became the head of the inner court, and he has always been deeply trusted.

"Because you are worthy of my servant's followers." Jiang Yu replied cautiously without the slightest hesitation, "Because this servant wants to live better and longer in this court." He didn't mention any superfluous reasons , everyone living in this palace knows that only interests are the strongest connection between people.

Even so, this is also the reason why countless people betrayed.

"What about Kassapa?" Xu Qiwu continued to ask.She suddenly discovered that at this time, she could also say the name so plainly.Even if this name made her sleepless all night, she hated it to the marrow.

"As the priest of the Qitian Palace, he will never appear by His Majesty's side." Jiang Yu raised his head slowly and looked directly at Xu Qiwu.His eyes were dark gray and looked a little weird.But this sentence made Xu Qiwu laugh, she didn't feel that Jiang Yu's behavior offended her.

"Get up and answer." He turned and sat on the phoenix couch. The long phoenix robe was lying on the ground. The golden phoenix pattern on it was dazzling, and the exquisite double phoenix holding beads, gold wings, and waving beads made a crisp sound when they collided. .Jiang Yu stood up in response, bowed his head, with a calm expression, as if kneeling or standing had no effect on him.

"You have been following around since your Majesty was young, and today I want to ask you." She looked straight at Jiang Yu with her eyes, and her tone carried uneasiness that she didn't realize, "Do you think that Kasyapa is in His Majesty's heart, How heavy?"

Jiang Yu was silent for a while before replying, "In His Majesty's heart, Mr. Kasyapa is as important as Jiangshan." These words were like ice and snow, making the whole hall instantly cold and silent.Then, he heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground.

"Really?" Xu Qiwu asked in a low voice, as if talking to himself.He clearly knew that he was not worth mentioning in his heart, so why did he want to be confirmed by others?I even had extravagant hopes for him in my heart...

ridiculous!

She looked at the overturned teacup on the ground, and the corners of her mouth were filled with bitterness.He is as important as mountains and rivers in your heart, what about me?

After a long silence, Xu Qiwu's slightly tired voice sounded in the empty hall, "Tell me about your Majesty's whereabouts in the past seven days." Ah Jing, who was waiting in the corner, came out with a lacquered wooden tray on which there was a piece of paper. Pen.

Jiang Yu glanced at Aunt A Jing with a calm face, and then picked up the pen without the slightest hesitation.No matter when, the emperor's whereabouts are top secret, if leaked, it is a felony.But Jiang Yu didn't hesitate at all, just like he said to the queen, he was loyal to her.

Putting down the pen, the queen waved at him, "You go down first." Jiang Yuwen saluted and quietly exited the hall.

Ah Jing put the tray on the table in front of the bed, and whispered worriedly, "Mother, is he trustworthy?" She looked at the pale queen with concern in her eyes.

Xu Qiwu picked up the rice paper from the plate, and the huge Dongzhu gold ornament on his wrist was particularly eye-catching.Her eyes flicked over the running ink words bit by bit, she glanced at Ah Jing beside her, and said slowly, "Of course it's unbelievable." Then she put down the paper, "But he is a smart man, if he is allowed to murder the prince He will definitely refuse, but for some unimportant matters, he will be happy to serve this Palace."

He stood up very leisurely as he spoke, picked up a piece of agarwood with his slender fingers, carefully cut it, put it in the incense burner with hollowed-out phoenix pattern, and muttered to himself, "It's not easy to live in this palace. So easy."

The agarwood crumbs were ignited by sparks and gradually turned into ashes.

Chongwen Museum.

"Ah Heng, big brother has news that the Ning Wuyi you mentioned last time appeared near Xiliang Kingdom, but disappeared again." Mu Hanjiang found Gu Mingheng when he entered the Chongwen Hall.

A few days ago, the crown prince "occasionally felt the wind and cold" to recuperate for a few days, so the East Palace stopped his studies in the Chongwen Museum. Now that the crown prince has recovered, he and Xie Yunhong can enter the palace.

But occasionally thinking of the prince's almost crazy appearance that day, it is still a little unbelievable.

"That means you're not dead?" Gu Mingheng put down the book in his hand and confirmed again.His expression was full of joy, and he didn't realize that Lu Chengning sitting beside him was looking at him with dark eyebrows.

"Well, I thought he was dead at first, but after careful investigation, I found out that he is still alive. Ah Heng, how do you know him? How can you be sure that he is not dead..." As he spoke, Mu Hanjiang's voice gradually lowered, he inadvertently stared at Lu Chengning's eyes, his heart tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously stopped talking.

How do you feel, Your Highness is a little different today?

Gu Mingheng looked at him with some puzzlement, "Amu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing..." Mu Hanjiang smiled stiffly, then shook his head nervously, "I haven't finished writing the strategy assigned by Master, so I'll go there first, and I'll show you Brother's letter sometime later." After speaking, he ran away quickly, as if there was a beast chasing after him.

Gu Mingheng looked at Mu Hanjiang's back somewhat strangely, what happened to Mu Mu today?

At this time, Gu Mingheng suddenly felt that Lu Chengning beside him tugged at his sleeve, and turned his head to see him looking at him intently, his eyes were like ink.

"A-Ning?" He subconsciously softened his smile, and his voice was as clear as a stringed song.Ever since he lost control of his emotions that day, after waking up, Lu Chengning has been very clingy to him, even the two of them have slept in the same bed for the past few days, almost inseparable.Gu Mingheng thought that he must have been frightened that day, and felt uneasy, so he followed him.

"Who is Ning Wuyi?" Lu Chengning asked clearly.

Gu Mingheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react—how did Ah Ning know the name "Ning Wuyi"?Recalling the conversation he had with Mu Hanjiang just now, he asked in surprise, "Did Ah Ning just listen to what Ah Heng and Ah Mu said?" His voice contained surprise.You know, in the past, Aning always subconsciously refused to hear the voices of the outside world.

Lu Chengning nodded, and asked again, "Who is Ning Wuyi?" He could feel that Ah Heng cared a lot about this person named "Ning Wuyi", which made him feel slightly displeased.

As for why, he still doesn't understand.But he didn't like that Ah Heng ignored himself and paid attention to other people.

"Ning Wuyi is someone Aning doesn't know, but he can bring great help to Aning." Gu Mingheng explained patiently.If Ning Wuyi hadn't died, then if he remembered correctly, Ning Wuyi should have come to the capital within three years.

Lu Chengning nodded after hearing this, then turned around and concentrated on writing. Now his brushwork has begun to take shape.

Gu Mingheng looked at his side face with calm brows and eyes, and thought in a daze, Ah Ning's expression just now seemed...softened a lot?

afternoon.

"Why are you so strange today?" Xie Yunhong persisted in the folding fan and tapped Mu Hanjiang's shoulder with the handle, with a little concern in his eyes.The two walked out of the Vermilion gate of the East Palace together, and walked towards the gate of the palace.Ah Qi followed behind them, holding a book.

"Ahong, don't you realize that His Highness is strange today?" Mu Hanjiang's dark eyebrows were full of thought, "I always feel that His Highness today is very different from usual. It makes me feel——His Highness is not the previous Highness."

Xie Yunhong listened to his words, waved his fan hand for a while, thought for a while and said, "Today I arrived a few steps later than you, and I met A Zheng outside the Chongwen Museum." Xie Yunhong didn't answer his question, But talking about something else.

Mu Hanjiang stopped and looked at Xie Yunhong.His facial features and eyes are not like those of the rich and powerful in Beijing, but with a completely different kind of roughness and unrestrained wildness.

"I asked him how your Highness is getting better these days, guess how he answered?" Without waiting for Mu Hanjiang to answer, he said with a solemn expression, "He said that His Highness has recovered, but it is not the same as before. "

"It's not the same?" Mu Hanjiang repeated in a low voice, then raised his eyes to look at Xie Yunhong, "If I feel right, I think the current Highness is more like the prince of my Dayong."

After thinking for a while, he said affirmatively, "Your Highness, he made me feel a kind of coercion, a kind of coercion from a superior. Although that feeling disappeared when I was talking to Ah Heng, His Highness watched When I was, I literally felt it."

Xie Yunhong didn't answer, his brows and eyes were lost in deep thoughts.

"Ah Hong, I just hope that the changes in His Highness are all good." Looking at the countless palaces in the distance, Mu Hanjiang's expression was complicated, "You and I both know that if His Highness is not good, it will always be the same as before. , what is waiting for His Highness and A-Heng, even you and me."
