The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

1. Rebirth ([-])

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the palace.

There is no one in the Taiheng Palace in the northwest corner. Occasionally, newcomers to the palace will pass by here in a hurry during the day, and even the night watchmen will not come here at night. A year ago, the famous King Ren lived here. Chen Ke, but since news of King Ren's sudden death came out two months ago, the new Emperor Xuande ordered the Taiheng Palace to be sealed off because of his injury, and executed Taiheng Palace on the grounds of "poor service" All the people in the palace made the once luxurious place even more desolate, colder and more gloomy than the Leng Palace.

It's not true that there is no one in this isolated place—the so-called "sudden death" Renwang Chen Ke is still lying in it, but he is already dying.

Chen Ke now has no sensation below his chest, lying on what can still be called a bed, the mattress is full of filth, he can no longer control his urination and defecation, he is already a useless person.

But what is rare is that Chen Ke's thinking is still very clear, and sometimes he can't help himself sober, but Chen Ke has no complaints or regrets about the current situation——

The imperial palace is a battlefield without gunpowder, and the new emperor Chen Mao has extraordinary means. It is his ability to defeat the seven princes to win the throne.

Besides, compared with those princes who died one after another, Chen Ke lived one year longer.Thinking of this, Chen Ke laughed at himself.

Chen Mao used slow poison on him, and it was too late when he found out——

He was "died suddenly" overnight. On the second morning, all the palace people in Taiheng Palace were beaten to death with sticks. Chen Ke lay inside, listening to the cries, begging for mercy and cries of pain outside.

At the beginning, I could hear what they were saying clearly. Some shouted, "My lord, save my slaves," and some shouted, "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your lord, spare your life! Let the little one go.", and some viciously said: "In the next life, I will never do it for you again." Slaves are servants!"

Some people scolded him, Chen Ke, and said that it was all his fault for following him as the master... Later, they could not hear clearly, and Chen Ke didn't want to hear it, so he didn't listen.

Whether it is a slave or a king, one prospers and the other loses, the good times are so good, and the downs are so miserable, Chen Ke understands the truth.

Without the servants of the palace and no one coming here, Chen Ke also considers himself "lucky" to be able to survive for two months.

"My lord." Someone cautiously opened the door and came in, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, "Already, there's nothing to eat."

Chen Ke knew who it was without looking, it was Guan Hongfeng, his close servant who had been following him all the time, who was talking.

Chen Ke turned his head and faced Guan Hongfeng's face.It was a haggard, horrible face—

Guan Hongfeng's eyes had been gouged out, and dark pink new flesh had just grown out of the eye sockets.

He was also deprived of martial arts, and he was serving Chen Ke who was still alive, which can be said to be loyal and dedicated.

For those close to him, Chen Ke still feels a little guilty, not to mention Guan Hongfeng and others have been following him through life and death, but now none of them have a good end.

"No, no more." Another voice followed closely, each word was drawn out and spoke very slowly, but the speaker's emotion could be heard from every word he said, together with his expression , is also extremely rich.

This is Xu Qingfeng, the third son of Xu Dingning, former Minister of Rites.Xu Qingfeng is only [-] years old, with a handsome appearance and a wealth of education. He is a leader among the young talents in Beijing, but it is a pity that he has now become a fool.

That's right, fool.Xu Qingfeng broke into the Taiheng Palace a month ago, and since then he has another mouth to eat.

But fortunately, with Xu Qingfeng as Guan Hongfeng's eyes, he searched out all the food that could be eaten from the top and bottom of Taiheng Palace, and managed to last for another month.

In the past month, Chen Ke's health has been getting worse and worse, and he has been incontinent for the past seven days. Chen Ke would rather just keep smelling like this, and insist on not letting them deal with it. Chen Ke looked away again.

It is true that everyone should look away. At the beginning, he would hate Chen Mao every day, and he would also plan how to make a comeback and intrigue.

But it was too late to do anything. If he could do it all over again, Chen Ke would never be obsessed with that dragon chair again.

"It's okay." Chen Ke was struggling to speak now, and the root of his tongue was already numb. "You guys did a great job."

"This subordinate is incompetent! This subordinate should be damned!" Guan Hongfeng knelt down straight, and he couldn't find anything edible all day long, which made him afraid to face his master on the sick bed.Guan Hongfeng lowered his head, his eye sockets hurt but he could not shed tears.

Xu Qingfeng stood at a loss, staring blankly at Guan Hongfeng who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Chen Ke who was lying on the bed, showing a puzzled and sad expression, then he stretched out his hand to help Guan Hongfeng and said: "Hoo, get up, hoo hoo, it hurts."

Guan Hongfeng didn't get up, Xu Qingfeng went to see Chen Ke again, Chen Ke waved at him, and Xu Qingfeng threw himself on the bed.

Sensing Xu Qingfeng's movement, Guan Hongfeng quickly reached out to pull Xu Qingfeng: "Xu San, come down quickly, don't be rude!"

Xu Qingfeng had no choice but to sit on the ground instead, with his upper body lying on Chen Ke's bed and looking at him. This is Xu Qingfeng's accustomed posture.

Xu Qingfeng likes good-looking and beautiful things. Chen Ke's eyes are dark and bright. Although he was seriously ill and took away their brilliance, Xu Qingfeng just likes them and always stares happily.

Chen Ke was also used to having Xu Qingfeng at the bedside, waved his hand and said it was okay, and patted Xu Qingfeng's head reassuringly.

In the past month, when Xu Qingfeng didn't follow Guan Hongfeng to find food, he would lie on Chen Ke's bed and look at Chen Ke. Chen Ke teased him, and the two of them were "chatting".Chen Ke motioned to Guan Hongfeng: "You come here too."

Guan Hongfeng had a premonition in his heart, and he still didn't stand up, but walked forward on his knees, and came to Xu Qingfeng's side, waiting for Chen Ke's instructions.

Chen Ke has nothing to instruct, all he wants to say is a few last words.

"I don't have much time in this palace. You guys accompany me through life and death, but I have nothing to leave for you..."

Guan Hongfeng wanted to deny it, but Chen Ke didn't give him a chance. His tongue was already numb. Chen Ke tried his best to bite the words. His eyes swept across Guan Hongfeng's face and fell on Xu Qingfeng's face. Those ignorant and pure eyes blinked. Blinking, staring at Chen Ke intently, Chen Ke smiled, and Xu Qingfeng also laughed, kind and harmless.

"Thank you." Maybe it's because people are about to die and their words are kind. After Chen Ke finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and the faces of many people appeared in his mind. After talking so much, he had no energy, no energy to hate I have the strength to think more, but I am a little regretful that this life is so short.

He could feel Xu Qingfeng still lying on the head of the bed, and he could also hear Guan Hongfeng knocking his head on the ground three times.

Guan Hongfeng clenched his lips and said nothing. After knocking his head three times, Guan Hongfeng stood up and told Xu Qingfeng: "Stay here and take care of the prince." Then he walked out without looking back.

Xu Qingfeng didn't know what taking care was, so he just stared at Chen Ke, and found that the person lying down had a good-looking nose and a good-looking mouth.

Sensing Xu Qingfeng's direct gaze, Chen Ke opened his eyes helplessly. Xu Qingfeng laughed again, and stretched out his fist after thinking for a while: "Hungry, there is meat. Eat..."

Chen Ke looked at Xu Qingfeng in surprise, only to see that his expression was tangled, as if he was a little regretful, and his brows were tightly frowned.

And Xu Qingfeng's hand was so thin that it was only skin and bones, there was not much flesh, but a lot of plaster.

"Give it to me?" Chen Ke asked him, feeling a little funny.

Seeing that Chen Ke's eyes became like crescent moons because of his smile, Xu Qingfeng no longer had any entanglements. He nodded, afraid that Chen Ke would not believe him, so he took a sip by himself, and then stretched out, "Salty..."

Chen Ke laughed again, and Xu Qingfeng also smirked.

"It will hurt." Chen Ke said.

"Hmm." Xu Qingfeng changed his expression again, tangled, looking at his hands, then at Xu Qingfeng.

"It hurts, it hurts." Chen Ke deliberately spoke slowly, observing Xu Qingfeng's ever-changing expression.

"Painful?" Xu Qingfeng asked, and after receiving Chen Ke's affirmative nod, he slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, "Then don't want it."

Chen Ke raised his hand with great effort, and gently grasped the small fist, without using any strength at all, but Xu Qingfeng did not break free.Chen Ke said: "I can't..."

"It will hurt." Xu Qingfeng imitated Chen Ke's words very seriously.

"But it has already been given to me, it belongs to me."

"Woo." Xu Qingfeng frowned and wrinkled his nose. He was so sad that he was about to cry, but he still didn't break free from Chen Ke's hand.

"Fool." Chen Ke sighed and dropped his hands weakly.

Xu Qingfeng looked at his hands, then at Chen Ke, not knowing what to do when black smoke drifted in from outside.

Xu Qingfeng turned his head to look curiously, and wanted to run out to find out, but when he thought of Guan Hongfeng letting him stay here, he put away his eager thoughts.

The black smoke became thicker and thicker, and drifted into the bedroom. Soon, the tongue of fire licked here, and the house burned, and the fire became bigger and bigger. The burnt wood and other furniture gave off an unpleasant smell, and the thick smoke choked the nose. The temple is getting hotter and brighter.Chen Ke became calm, but Xu Qingfeng was very disturbed.

"Are you afraid?" Chen Ke asked.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded, first looked around, and grabbed Chen Ke's hand in fear, trying to pull him up and take him out, but when he realized that he couldn't do it, he was sweating anxiously.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ke said, his voice low and inaudible.This was discussed between Chen Ke and Guan Hongfeng before Xu Qingfeng came to Taiheng Palace——

Once he was about to die, he would set fire to everything. When he died, Chen Ke would be turned into ashes, and he would never leave his body to others.

Of course Guan Hongfeng would agree without hesitation, but as for Xu Qingfeng, if he was pretending to be stupid and approached Taiheng Palace for whatever reason, he would have to go and see what he was capable of.

And if Xu Qingfeng was really stupid, Chen Ke couldn't bear to leave him alive to suffer - a fool wandering around in this palace would definitely have an accident.

Chen Ke held Xu Qingfeng's hand instead, and comforted him again: "Don't be afraid..."

So Xu Qingfeng calmed down, stopped worrying, sat back and looked at Chen Ke quietly.

At this time, the fire was already raging, and the bedroom was as bright as day. Xu Qingfeng had never seen Chen Ke in such a bright environment, and he was surprised that this person turned out to be so good-looking, and he couldn't get enough of him, just like Xu Qingfeng's beloved little glass beads, Shiny and pretty.

Chen Ke had never looked at Xu Qingfeng so seriously before, as if he was seeing him for the first time, he was serious about remembering this person's appearance.

Chen Ke said don't be afraid, Xu Qingfeng is not afraid, until the tongue of cannibalism licked his body, the pain felt real;

Until all kinds of hustle and bustle and Guan Hongfeng's laughter came from outside, the sound made people confused without knowing the distance; until the burning beams fell...

In 15 years, Emperor Xuanwu lived for 15 years and died at the age of 47.

In the first year of Yuande, Emperor Xuande succeeded to the throne, and the new emperor was wise and martial, endowed by heaven, with the great talent of knowing the world in Wentaowulue.

In December of the same year, Renwang Chen Ke died suddenly.Emperor Xuande buried him generously, pursued "Prince Xiao", and sealed the Taiheng Palace the next day, and killed 130 people in the Taiheng Palace.

On the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the second year of Yuande, the Taiheng Palace flooded with water, and the fire was so fierce that it took a day and a night to subside. Everyone said: demon.
