There was only an earthen kang in the thatched hut, and a low table on the kang. Liu Yan leaned on the low table with his arms propped up. Rubbing his eyes, he took his clothes and moved under the lamp after a while.

When Luo Ming came in, Liu Yan raised his head and smiled, "May I have dinner, master?"

"have eaten."

Sitting on the edge of the Kang, Luo Ming grabbed the clothes in Liu Yan's hands, "Don't sew. Although I don't have much money for copying books, it's enough for us to eat. Why do you make these things that hurt your eyes? "

"Master's medicine is running out, if you don't save more, you won't have enough money to buy medicine."

"You can take that medicine or not, just stop it, who wants to drink something that is so bitter."

"No."

As Liu Yan was talking, he had already taken down the small casserole from the stove in the corner, decanted the medicine dregs, poured out a bowl of medicine and handed it to Luo Ming, "Although I bribed the executioner, the fifty After all, the court battle is not light, it hurts the muscles and bones, no matter what, you have to take good care of your child, otherwise it will fall to the root of the disease and make it even more troublesome."

Luo Ming looked bitter when he saw the medicine, the soup was really bad, not only bitter, but also had an indescribably earthy smell, which made people sick to drink.

Just as he was about to pretend not to drink, Liu Yan took out a plate of something like a magic trick, which was tightly covered with a drawer cloth, but he didn't know what it was.Liu Yan smiled and said: "You can take this after drinking the medicine."

Luo Ming opened the drawer and saw that there were two steamed yams, still warm.

"Today, the elder brother from the next door came to pick up the mended clothes and gave some rice and yams. I specially kept them for the master, so that I can make a cushion in the evening."

"You ate?"

"Well, um! I ate it." Liu Yan looked away.

Luo Ming didn't expose it either, such kindness cannot be refused, otherwise it will hurt others.

Taking the plate sullenly, Luo Ming picked up the potato and gnawed it.

Suddenly he felt awkward in his heart, and Luo Ming couldn't tell what it was like, sour, sweet, bitter, all kinds of feelings rushed out, fighting in the pit of his heart.

Master, master, this person always talks about master all day long, and treats him so well only because he is now wearing the shell of his master, not because he is Luo Ming.

Liu Yan didn't notice that Luo Ming's face changed. He held the medicine bowl and blew gently. When it was warm, he sent it to Luo Ming's hand, "Master, the medicine is ready."

Luo Ming clenched his fists and sneered, "Master? I'm not the prince, you already knew it. Why bother?"

Liu Yan was stunned when he heard the words, he was holding the medicine bowl tightly, his hands were trembling, his face was getting paler and paler.

After a while Liu Yan asked in a trembling voice: "You are not the prince, then who are you?" Suddenly raised his hand and threw the medicine bowl in his hand at Luo Ming, Liu Yan shouted sharply, "Who are you? "

"I followed the prince into the palace that day. From the time he molested the emperor's Jieyu to the emperor's anger and decree to abolish the prince, I have always been by the prince's side and never left. Even if you want to exchange with the prince, you will not Time. You were seriously injured in those few days, and it was even more difficult for you to move an inch. I took care of you when you moved, sat and slept, and you didn’t have time. Tell me, when did you switch with the prince, before entering the palace? Impossible. The prince at that time Everything is business as usual, nothing is wrong."

Liu Yan's mind was confused, and his words became confused. It's not that he didn't notice it, but he just didn't want to admit it. He had been deceiving others for many days, but was destroyed by Luo Ming's words. Liu Yan stared at the person in front of him, wishing to tear his flesh, See if he is a man or a ghost inside.

Liu Yan rushed over and grabbed Luo Ming's collar, "Who are you? Why do you look exactly like the prince, even the scar and red mole on your body?"

"It's impossible for me to admit my mistake. I have served the prince since I was a child. I know more about the scars on his body than the prince. It is obviously the same body. How could there be a mistake? How could there be two people? Hehe, you are the prince, master Mo To tease Liuyan. Liuyan is afraid..."

After a while, Liu Yan overturned the preface again, tears rolled down his eyes, his voice was flustered, and he whimpered and said: "You are not, you are not the prince, the prince will not laugh at me, he always said that I am not lovable at all, He gets bored when he sees me. You are not the prince, and the prince will not pick fruit for me, and ask me if I like it? Huh..."

Luo Ming didn't expect Liu Yan to be like this with a word of his breathless words. He watched Liu Yan cry, and he felt as if he had been pricked by a fine needle, which was painful and uncomfortable.He hurriedly helped Liuyan sit down, "Liuyan, I..."

He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so should he continue to lie to him?Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Luo Ming knew that his thoughts on Liu Yan had changed, and he couldn't lie to him anymore, otherwise he would feel bad about it.

Liu Yan tightly clutched Luo Ming's skirt, and his body trembled into a ball. Luo Ming didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to put his arms around his shoulders, pat him lightly, and wait for him to calm down before slowly telling Liu Yan the truth. To smoke.

"The prince is no longer here. I don't know how I got here, and how I ended up in the prince's body..."

The more Liu Yan listened, the more frightened he became.

The prince's temperament has changed drastically, as long as anyone who is familiar with the prince can see it.

The prince in the past was tyrannical, and would stare and kill people if he didn't like it, but Luo Ming, he was like a born king, without anger and majesty, even if he spoke in a soft voice, he was kind but also majestic.This is the tolerance that the former prince did not have.

Luo Ming is mature in dealing with things, treats people kindly, and always leaves some room for things.But the prince's young mind is chaotic when he gets involved in things, he always does things with little thought, and often cares about the head and the tail.

The crown prince is proud and arrogant, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he can't bear any hardships, so why is he willing to live in this thatched hut with air leaks on all sides, and eat rough food that he can't swallow the smoke every day?

……

There were too many, Liu Yan closed his eyes in despair, no matter how much he lied to himself, these too many things proved that this man was not the prince, not the master he thought.

Liu Yan's eyes darkened, his mind went blank, he stood up blankly, staggered and walked outside the house, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the ground.

Luo Ming hurried up to help him, Liu Yan shook off Luo Ming's hand, staggered to his feet, and walked outside the house.

Luo Ming wanted to stretch out his hand to pull him back several times, but he raised his hand and put it down again, but finally let Liu Yan go away.

Watching the figure disappear at the door, Luo Ming slammed his fist hard on the door frame, and the wooden door shook violently, making an unbearable creaking sound, shaking helplessly as if he wanted to shout out the pain in his heart for Luo Ming.

Yan Junyu came out from the next room, glanced at Luo Ming, "Aren't you going to chase him?"

Luo Ming smiled bitterly, "Why should I chase him?"

"Why? Aren't you the only one who knows?" Yan Junyu entered Luo Ming's house, came out with a potato in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, bit half of it, and said inarticulately: "After passing this village, there is nothing wrong with it." This shop is gone, you think about it, if you don't chase after him, maybe you will collect his body tomorrow..."

Before Yan Junyu finished speaking, Luo Ming had already rushed out of the yard.Yan Junyu put the remaining half of the yam into his mouth, wiped his hands on the front of his clothes, and said with a smile, "Luo Ming? An interesting person. More interesting than the prince."

The street was pitch black, and there was no one to be seen. Luo Ming hated this place without electric lights very much. It was really difficult to find someone in the dark.

"Liuyan!" Luo Ming didn't dare to shout loudly. The houses in the vicinity are all based on adobe and covered with thatch roofs. The sound insulation ability is almost non-existent. He yelled in the middle of the night, and the people in an alley must be scared. You can't make a fuss.

There was a fork in the road after leaving the alley. Luo Ming stood at the fork and looked around. There was no smoke on either side, and he ran for a long distance along one side, only to realize that Liu Yan couldn't go so fast.I turned back and searched along the other side. After searching for almost an hour, I still couldn't see anyone.

If you can't find the smoke...

Luo Ming didn't dare to think about it, and shook his head vigorously, shaking off useless thoughts.He had to dig three feet to find the person he was looking for!

Luo Ming breathed steadily, slowed down, searched again, carefully checked left and right, even turned over the cracks in the corner of the stone, and finally found Liuyan in front of the sewing shop not far from his alley at dawn.

Liu Yan hugged her knees, curled up, and sat huddled under the signboard of the sewing shop. The surroundings seemed to be dimly lit, and the dawn was still wrapped in an ambiguous darkness, and the people and things in her sight were blurred. shadow.

It took Luo Ming a long time to confirm that it was really Liuyan, not his hallucination.

Afraid of frightening people, he leaned over gently, and slowly squatted down.

Liu Yan raised her head when she heard the movement.His eyes were hollow, as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were dull, and he didn't respond when he saw Luo Ming.A pair of big eyes just stared straight ahead.

Luo Ming sat down next to Liu Yan, and sighed softly. He is not a delicate person, and he doesn't know how much the fact that he is not the prince will affect Liu Yan. Luo Ming will not try to comfort someone , he will only stand side by side with him and endure together.

Luo Ming held Liu Yan's hand, took out a dagger from his pocket, and handed it to Liu Yan, "If you don't let go of your hatred, you can kill me. I will never fight back."

Liu Yan was startled by the weight in his hand, he twisted the dagger and shook his head.

"Can I come back after killing your prince?"

"do not know."

Liu Yan didn't speak any more, just quietly looked at the dagger in his hand.

"I am a slave of the Queen's family. I was bought by Queen Jingyi when I was nine years old. Originally, my father wanted to sell me into Yanzhi Yuan. Does Yanzhi Yuan know? It is a famous place in the capital. The girl and brother in the courtyard are good friends, and they don't have a net worth of 10 taels, so they can't even think about getting out of it." Liu Yan suddenly opened his mouth and talked about his life experience.

"My father is also delusional. Based on my appearance, how could I get into Rouge Courtyard? A few years ago, I went there with the prince. The little brothers there, all of them are watery, really like lotus flowers. I am like this, I'm afraid the stewards inside won't even take a look."

"My mother died when she gave birth to me, and my father couldn't afford to support me, so he wanted to sell me for some money before marrying another wife. Heh, every time he sold me I ran away, and every time I sneaked home He was so angry that he had to move quickly before the buyer came."

"When I was nine years old, my father became cruel and wanted to sell me into the Rouge Courtyard. There are special personnel in charge of guarding and training. A child cannot escape."

"I cried and begged him on the way, but my father didn't listen, he just said it was for my own good. My voice was hoarse from crying, and he didn't turn around to look at me."

Hearing Liu Yan's calm tone, Luo Ming felt uncomfortable.He is also an orphan, half his life has been homeless, but he still has human dignity, at least no one has sold him like a livestock.

"The prince was only five years old when I entered the Duanhua Palace, and he was still a baby who couldn't even walk. I went in to greet the prince. Just as I was about to kneel down, Queen Jingyi stopped me and said, 'There is no need to kneel. As long as you are good Accompany the prince and watch him grow up, you are my other son.'”

"Since then, I have sworn in my heart that I will live for the prince all my life..."

When Liu Yan said this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Live for the prince. Now that the prince is dead, who am I going to live for?"

"for myself!"

Luo Ming pulled Liu Yan, helped him stand up, and cleaned the dust off his body.

As the sun rises in the east, thousands of golden lights hold a round of red sun and rise into the sky. Luo Ming smiled at Liu Yan: "From now on, I will only live for myself and be my true self."
