After wearing lotus essence

Even if the old mansion of the prince is not loved by the owner, there will still be someone to clean it every once in a while.

When the carriage returned to the city, Li Suichuan had already dealt with the matter and came back. He seemed to be very familiar with the way to the East Palace, even with his eyes closed, he could touch the rich gates of the Prince's Mansion.

Wu Zhui followed the carriage aggrievedly, holding the reins by himself.

After being severely whipped by the master, Wu Zhui also knew that Xiangxiang in the car should not be touched again.It's just that animals are more sensitive than humans in some respects, so Wu Zhui changed his routine of chasing Shang Ci in the daytime and started to join Rong Mu.

Rong Mu Yiduo opened the curtain of the car and saw Wu Zhui's unique big die, and his heart shuddered.

After living two lifetimes, I never thought that one day I would have to worry about whether I would be chewed by a horse.

Rong Mu supported his head and yawned lazily: "Your Majesty, do you want me to choose the Eastern Palace bedroom?"

Shang Cizhou looked at whether he was sitting or not, and slowly rubbed the tip of his hand, "Except for the lonely main hall, and the locked place."

Rong Mu couldn't sit still, leaned over and asked him: "It's hard to live and play outside the palace. I heard that the prince's mansion is not much better than the palace. I don't know if it's true?"

"You have a good attitude," Shang Cizhou looked down at him, "Do you know, once someone finds out that 'Rong Shijun' lives in an old house that is not needed, what will people say to you?"

Rong Mu seemed much happier than being with him in the palace, "You say I'm out of favor? Say I'm dying? Or say maybe His Majesty will kill me tomorrow?"

"It's easy to get out of the palace, but it's as hard as the sky to go in. Once you lose the imperial favor, those leeches who secretly stared at you will swarm up. At that time, Mr. Rong, don't cry to Gu."

Rong Mu's face is calm, he is not afraid of any leeches, they are all people, why should he be afraid of these mortal wombs if he is not a human, it is good not to pretend to be a ghost to scare people.

"You don't need to worry about these things," the young man said with a smile on Yan Yan, showing no dissatisfaction with being investigated and tempted, "I am a person who can survive even if I go to a dead end. The biggest trouble now comes from Your Majesty, you are moody, if your Majesty treats me sincerely, I will be really thankful."

Shang Cizhou glanced at him and didn't speak, the car stopped in front of Zhumen of the Eastern Palace after a while.

Li Suichuan looked at everything here as before, but the people are no longer the people of the past, so it is inevitable that he has some feelings, and he doesn't know why His Majesty put Rong Mu here, except for the little servants who clean up the place every day, it is like death on weekdays Palace in general.

Rong Mu poked his head out: "Are you there?"

Li Suichuan's eyes were complicated: "Here we are."

Rong Mu avoided Wu Zhui's big head and jumped out of the car. When he was not in the palace, he always seemed more relaxed and lively.

The curtain of the carriage was fastened to the silver hook, and Shang Cizhou sat in the carriage upright, watching the young man walk up and touch the gate of the Eastern Palace.

The vermilion door is majestic and dignified, showing the aura of a great merchant prince.Rong Mu jumped up curiously and patted the door knocker above. His white fingers formed a strong color contrast with it. After a while, an old servant came out and opened the door.

Uncle Dong rubbed his sleepy eyes, wondering which young man outside was bold enough to disturb Dong Gong, and when the Zhumen opened a small gap, a pair of slightly upturned eyes with a smile met his gaze.

Rong Mu saluted in a dignified manner, "Hello, old man, I am Rong Mu who came here for a short time by order of His Majesty."

Uncle Dong's old eyes were dim, and he recognized it for a while before he said: "Go, go, Your Majesty will not bother with this place, young master, go to play elsewhere, don't come here again—"

Rong Mu hurriedly pinned his hands to the door: "Hey wait—"

"Uncle Dong."

Liu Dong was taken aback for a moment, looked up, and saw Li Suichuan on the tall horse.

"Major General? Why did you come here?!" Immediately afterwards, Uncle Dong was shocked, and looked at the black carriage that had been parked quietly outside the door in disbelief. After a while, two lines of muddy tears flowed down.

Rong Mu saw that the old man came out almost scrambling, and knelt down on the stone steps of the Prince's Mansion with a plop.

Rong Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the Uncle Dong slap his forehead and say: "This old servant welcomes Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!"

It was clearly a simple sentence, but Rong Mu heard the sad feelings from it, as if since the crown prince came to the throne, this place has never welcomed the master again.

This Uncle Dong, presumably, should be Shang Cizhou's old servant when he was a child.

After a long while, a pair of black boots stopped in Uncle Dong's sight, and then he was lifted up with one hand. Shang Cizhou's expression could not be seen clearly in the twilight, but Rong Mu felt the strange look of this man standing here. Quiet.

Shang Cizhou said in a deep voice: "I won't come here for a long time, how is everything in the East Palace?"

Uncle Dong was crying and laughing, and he was more confused than Rong Mu: "His Highness cares, everything is fine, everything is fine, all the old servants are there, His Highness's bedroom is clean and incense is burned every day, and the roads are cleaned by servants every day. The water in the lake has also risen after several spring rains. In previous years, it was just black charred silt. This year, some koi fish came from nowhere... It's a good sign!"

Li Suichuan coughed on the side, grabbed the excited old servant and said: "Uncle Dong, you are sleepy, Your Highness is already Your Majesty!"

Uncle Dong was shocked, and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but was stopped by Shang Ciri.

"It's nothing, I don't ask for guilt."

Rong Mu looked at Shang Cizhou in surprise, this person...'s attitude towards Donggong is not like his usual cold and treacherous style.

It's not like he doesn't care at all as imagined, but it seems that he deliberately doesn't want to face it and doesn't want to mention it.

Uncle Dong was very excited. When he came back to his senses, he remembered Rong Mu who had knocked on the door just now. He looked back twice, only to see the young man leaning against the Zhumen of the Prince's Mansion with his arms folded, with a relaxed expression, as if he had returned to himself. The same door.

Uncle Dong was in a trance for a while, and after a few breaths, he bent down and saluted, "I don't know that the young master came with His Majesty, just now I was rude."

Rong Mu hurriedly stood up straight: "It's okay, it's okay, uh, what should I call you? Can I also call you Uncle Dong?"

Liu Dong wiped away his tears: "It's fine if you don't dislike this old slave, my lord."

Rong Mu smiled, and said loudly: "How could it be, Uncle Dong, I am Rong Mu! From today onwards, I will live here temporarily, oh, and my flowers, my people and my flowers Together, we will all move into the Prince's East Palace!"

Uncle Dong said "Hey" twice, the excitement of seeing the old master still couldn't be calmed down in his heart, and he watched Li Suichuan carefully carry out a large vat of lotus flowers from the carriage.

The exquisite flower buds are reflected in the background of the rich family, and the pure and flawless swaying in the wind makes people feel affectionate and can't help but pay attention to such freshness.

Uncle Dong hurriedly stepped forward to help, and moved Bi Jiangxue to the front of Zhumen. Shang Cizhou watched their series of actions with distant and deep eyes, as if he was distracted out of thin air.

Seeing that they were busy, Rong Mu stepped forward and patted the emperor's arm: "Your Majesty? But did you regret letting me out?"

Shang Cizhou's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at him: "No, Gu suddenly remembered an old thing."

Rong Mu said casually, "What's the matter?"

Shang Cizhou was silent for a while before opening his mouth in a low voice. His voice was deep, mixed with the cool evening breeze, making people feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"Gu just remembered that seven years ago, Gu Zhu Lian Jiu Clan killed a total of 380 six members of the Qi family. The heads that were chopped off that day finally became a Jingguan, and the blood dripping from under Gu's feet stretched all the way to Changping. Three days later, the soles of their feet are still sticky. The old people in the East Palace were scared to death and ran to death, leaving only the loyal servant Liu Dong and a few dead servants."

Rong Mu froze, for some reason he felt that Shang Cizhou was in a trance at this moment, and he couldn't help lowering his voice: "Why is Your Majesty so angry? Is it because the adoptive mother is unkind?"

Shang Cizhou's black sleeves fluttered slightly, and the gold and jade belt outlined his thin waistline. He said slowly: "The adoptive mother is unkind, the biological father is unjust, and brothers kill each other. Gu boarded the dragon chair."

At this moment, Rong Mu heard his heart beat gradually and rapidly, that feeling was not a heartbeat, but another strange, elusive...empathy.

Bi Jiangxue...does she even have the function of empathy?

Rong Mu has heard about the past experience of this tyrant, but being there always has more impact than hearing about it.

Shang Cizhou lowered his eyes, and all his sharp expressions disappeared, "Qi has a son named Shang Cixie, who is the fourth brother of the emperor who is lonely and half-brother. He cares about it, but he made a huge mistake, because of this, guess what happened to him?"

Rong Mu didn't say a word, but even if he thought about it with his toes, he knew that there would be no good end.

"After Gu ascended the throne, he was entrusted to all the princes, but he was the only one who was slaughtered by Gu, oh... still in front of his hypocritical mother. Although Gu forgot what Shang Cixie did back then, but Thinking of this punishment until now, I am very happy because of Qi's screams like killing a pig." Shang Cizhou said with a strange smile on his face, "Since then, everyone is afraid of being alone, so everyone is afraid of being alone. Even Li Suichuan said that the solitude has changed, only these few old people from the East Palace are still considered to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who did not do anything wrong back then."

Rong Mu's chest seemed to have a big hole, and the cold wind was blowing. Is Bi Jiangxue's effect so obvious...?

Looking at Shang Cizhou like this, he actually felt that the tyrant who confronted him was better, at least at that time, Shang Cizhou didn't look so lifeless and repulsive.

"...Sorry." Rong Mu said suddenly.

The emperor looked at him: "Why do you apologize? You didn't do anything wrong. Instead, you are constantly tempting you, teasing you, using you, making you angry, and letting you live in this abandoned house in the East Palace."

Rong Mu stood beside him with folded hands, his head just a little above the emperor's shoulder.

"I apologize for the words I said impulsively." Looking at the wide and flat stone road in front of him, Rong Mu couldn't imagine how tragic that day was: "Your Majesty stands above all people, and protects the people of one side, even the people around him. I don’t love you, but the people who have a good life because of your majesty’s wise rule will love you and thank you, your majesty is lonely and indifferent, thinking that you cannot be loved by others, presumably he has never felt the most sincere conviction of the people.”

Shang Cizhou turned his head slightly, looking at the young man in elegant clothes beside him.

"I can still stand here so far because of the benevolence revealed by His Majesty. I am afraid that Your Majesty doesn't know me very well. If I really don't want to pay attention to someone, I will definitely not be able to say that I live in an old house temporarily. "

The expression on Rong Mu's face was as pure and kind as ever, "I will appear mysteriously as if I came to Ziyuan Palace, and then disappear mysteriously, even if His Majesty goes to heaven and earth, I will never find another Rong Mu again."

Shang Cizhou looked at him: "You really have a secret that I don't know."

Rong Mu nodded indifferently: "It's useless to say whether it's big or small, Your Majesty is curious, unless you torture me severely, maybe I can't bear the torture and I will reveal a little...Does Your Majesty want to do that? ?”

Shang Cizhou tilted his head slightly, the displeasure of just remembering the past disappeared at some point, leaving only the sly and clever eyes of the person in front of him.

Maybe it was the old things in the East Palace that moved his heart slightly, Shang Cizhou said the truth from the bottom of his heart for the first time: "I don't want to do that to you."

The corners of Rong Mu's mouth slowly curled up, and finally he couldn't help showing a little white canine teeth. His eyes were very bright, and he looked at Shang Cizhou and said: "Just because I know that His Majesty will not kill me, and occasionally protect me , so although I can't be grateful to you immediately, I will never really hate you."

"Perhaps one day, I will love you as much as those people who have been favored...as long as Your Majesty trusts others and treats each other with sincerity."

Rong Mu said and shook his hands: "Your Majesty, shake hands, will you?"

Shang Ciri moved his eyelashes, and for the first time felt that the front of the East Palace was not so gloomy. Uncle Dong specially lit up the tall lantern at the main entrance, and the figures of the two gradually merged under the lamp.

Just like in the gilt hanging lantern building, Rong Mu felt unbearable again, and took the initiative to approach Shang Cizhou who had caused him trouble. The young man's thin white fingers held the emperor's big bony hand, and shook it slightly twice. Feeling the opponent's stiff movements, he smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Come and play with me, Your Majesty, you can also have dinner with me."

Shang Cizhou looked at the smiling eyes, and for some reason, the corner of his mouth unconsciously moved for a moment.
