In the royal courtyard, the bamboo forest is densely surrounded by the front and back yards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A cold wind blew, and a vigorous bamboo leaf that was still waving in the cold winter pressed the head, bringing out a low rustling sound.

said that it was a separate courtyard, but in fact it was a place where the children of the royal family were placed under house arrest, and it was heavily guarded.

Zimo showed the waist card given by Gao Zhan to the guards of the other courtyard, so that he could enter it smoothly to visit Xiaowan.

"Your Royal Highness Lanling, the King of Hejian is inside, please take care of yourself. There are rules in Luxiang Temple, visitors should leave before dark, please don't embarrass the little ones. A guard took Zi Mo outside a wing room and confessed before Zi Mo entered.

"Thank you, Lord Prison. Zi Mo nodded, and watched the guard walk away. He still had a meal box in his hand, knocked on the door, and called the third brother.

There was no sound inside, Zi Mo waited for a while, pushed the door inside, and found that the door was hidden, so he went in by himself.

The Luxiang Courtyard is full of magnificent decorations of royal specifications, but in addition to the prisoners, it is used to worship some ancestral halls, so no matter how good the tables and chairs are, they have a desolate and desolate taste. There have been a lot of criminal relatives and relatives here, depressed all day long, so the mahogany coffee table desk has fallen heavy dust, where do the people in the room still have any mind to appreciate the finely carved furnishings, full of desolation, is the goose over the sorrowful roar.

Zi Mo poked his head in the room to search, and finally saw the familiar back next to the round window lattice.

"Third brother!" was overjoyed, the third brother was dressed in a cyan robe, with a long jade body, although the back was lonely and lonely, but this was much better than what he saw in prison.

Gao Xiaowan seemed to be facing out of the window, looking at a hearty sky that was distracted, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, was startled, and turned around to see the overjoyed Changgong appear in front of him.

。。。。。。 Gao Xiaowan was overjoyed, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not bloom, and when his eyes stayed on the luxurious purple robe on Zimo's body, the expression on his face froze, and the joy of seeing each other gradually dissipated. Like the tide, what is revealed after retreating is even more gloomy loss.

"Third brother, I brought you a lot of food from home, come over and eat!" Zi Mo waved his hand at him and said with a smile. Knowing that yesterday's conflict in prison seemed to have an indelible scar between their brothers, but it was not a great joy for the third brother to be able to get out of prison, so don't worry about drinking and congratulating first.

Gao Xiaowan seemed to think the same way, looked at the wine jug in Zimo's hand and smiled lightly, then slowly walked to the desk and sat down.

Zi Mo poured wine for the third brother and himself, toasted the third brother, and raised his head to do it first.

Gao Xiaowan thought that this Changgong actually had a very poor amount of alcohol, but when he returned to drinking, he smiled so brightly, as if the disposition of not getting drunk for a thousand cups was still the same for many years.

The clouds are light and the wind is light, but it is the next day, yesterday they were still in the prison, today they can drink the wine, the world is impermanent, Gao Xiaowan's gaze followed Zi Mo's falling hair and condensed on the purple robe satin from the palace embroidery.

Who has changed?

Is it him or Chang Gong?

Seeing the noble prince who was smiling at him with a good smile, Gao Xiaowan smiled slightly, but his heart was cold. Then the smile lost the warmth and brightness of the past, and the shape outlined was bitter and hesitant, and under the eyes, it was an indescribable lonely disappointment。。。。。。

The third brother didn't take the wine that Zimo handed to the third brother, but just sat opposite and looked at him motionless. It seems that they are strangers, and Zi Mo feels weak in his heart.

"Yes, yes, the third brother shouldn't drink now, eat more vegetables, eat more food。。。。。。 With a slight hesitation, he wanted to withdraw his hand holding the wine cup.

Thunderbolt couldn't hide his ears, Xiao Wan suddenly grabbed the arm that was retracting, Zi Mo looked at the third brother in surprise, and saw the third brother slowly take the glass of wine from his hand with an expressionless face and tilt his head to drink it up.

In prison for a month, Gao Xiaowan lost a lot of weight, and he didn't take a closer look at his unkempt face yesterday, but now he sees that the third brother's cheeks are thin and sunken, and the fingers holding Zimo's wrists are even more distinct, like Sensen's white bones, without blood.

Hyo-wan's hand seemed to be embedded in his arm, clutching tightly without a trace of slackness. Zi Mo endured the pain, slowly covered Xiaowan's hand with his other hand, and said, "Third brother, it's good for you to come out, it's up to you to beat or scold me." ”

Gao Xiaowan was stunned, shook off the hands of the two of them, and jumped up from his seat as if he had sat on pins and needles. He looked at this Gao Changgong, he didn't know whether to scold him or kneel down and kowtow to thank him, waved his wide sleeves, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar fourth brother Gao Changgong with a wry smile.

"Changgong, are you still not the Gao Changgong who grew up with me?!" A thousand words, Gao Xiaowan only smiled bitterly and overflowed the corners of his mouth, his eyes were red, and that expression made Zimo sad more than beating him hard. The pain was unbearable, and the third brother's face clearly wrote this kind of despair. betrayal, Gao Xiaowan understands very well that he can get out of the prison alive, in fact, it is Changgong's betrayal of himself, for Gaofu, and for the former Gao Changgong who was clean and arrogant.

Overnight, Gao Zhan changed his mind. He didn't expect that one day he would have to betray his younger brother to survive! It was dirty, humiliating, and unbearable。。。。。。 Gao Xiaowan didn't look at Chang Gong behind him, his back trembled slightly, he was so indecisive in everything he did, he actually hated himself the most。。。。。。

"Third brother, if there is anything we can say, okay? This dish should be cold, it won't taste good when it's cold. Let's just have a meal together like we used to?" Zi Mo begged.

"Same as before?Changgong, you tell me, did you really get close to me in the past, as you told me yesterday, because I was the eldest son of the Gao family?" Gao Xiaowan turned around and said.

。。。。。。 "Yesterday, because I was in a hurry, I said too much, I'm sorry, third brother. Zi Mo lowered his head and said softly, like a child who had done something wrong, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Wan's robe, looked up at Xiao Wan and said, "Third brother, you and I have a good meal, look at you, how thin have you become? Zi Mo said with a crying voice。。。。。。 Even though Gao Xiaowan was full of resentment, he softened his heart when he saw such a situation.

Changgong didn't cry much since he was a child, unless he was bitten by a snake and was too scared, or because he was short and fell in the swamp and couldn't break free, his eyes were scarlet and tears flowed like a fountain. After returning from the army, it was even more difficult to see this person's red eyes.

Gao Xiaowan looked at Zimo in front of him, and suddenly thought of the embarrassed and crying appearance of this person when he was a child, it turned out that the pitiful appearance of crying was still the same as before.

Since he was a child, he has been forbearant and resolute, and he Gao Xiaowan should know better than anyone how this soft-looking and bewitching fourth brother is. After so many years of sharing joys and sorrows, why did he believe Chang Gong's nonsense yesterday? In fact, he knew in his heart that how could Chang Gong deliberately curry favor with him in order to gain strength with Panyan? It's just that Gao Zhan, he would rather die than believe that Chang Gong was really partial to him。。。。。。 He didn't hate Changgong, but hated himself. Picking up the chopsticks, Xiaowan sat next to Zimo, picked up the dish under his gaze, and ate it.

"I remember that Mr. Liu used to use a ring ruler to slap your palm, and you didn't cry when there were blood stains, but now what are you crying about?。。。。。。 Xiaowan was probably really hungry, and he ate for a long time before he said, "Fourth brother, can't you let me die vigorously?" I Gao Xiaowan don't want to live such a life, and I don't want to bother you!"

"Third brother, that's not how heroes are becoming. Besides, the closest relative to me in this world is the third brother, so how can there be a debt between brothers? It is really a debt, and we have to owe each other, so that we can meet again in the next life!"

“。。。。。。 Gao Xiaowan seemed to be touched by something, and stared at Zimo in a daze for a while. Suddenly, he buried his head and ate heavily, and tears seemed to flow out of his eyes and drip on his rice.

"Third brother, eat vegetables," Zi Mo saw that Xiaowan's heart knot was somewhat untied, so he happily added a lot of vegetables to his bowl. Hyowan didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten properly, and when she was in a hurry, she coughed again and again, coughed violently, and even began to have stomach pain, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Zi Mo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but fortunately, the imperial doctor of Luxiang Courtyard was able to come in. A handful of pulses is actually said to be caused by the prostration of the five organs in the abdomen after not eating for a long time, so you can only use some vegetarian food to slowly recuperate。。。。。。 Zi Mo was very annoyed when he looked at the big fish and meat he brought, and when the imperial doctor left, he sat at the head of the bed with the third brother.

"If you don't get in the way, why are you crying? Hehe, the dignified King of Lanling, he is not afraid of people's jokes. Hyo-wan's face was pale, his eyes were sunken, he was bent on dying in prison, and he didn't even know how long he hadn't eaten properly, and he was all supported by a thought. Before he died, he wanted to see Chang Gong, even if it was a farewell.

"Third brother, don't think about the rest, I'll arrange it properly. Auntie also has me there, so don't worry. Zi Mo took the third brother's hand and said with relief.

"I know, I will. cough cough cough 。。。。。。 Xiao Wan obviously has a lot to say, but the hardships he suffered in prison and the injuries caused by deliberately not eating have exhausted his physical strength, and he has been staying in that cage with his eyes open for days and nights, and his body has reached the point where he doesn't know what sleepiness and fatigue are.

"Fourth brother, I want to sleep, can you accompany me?" Xiao Wan lay on the bed groggily, put his hand on the side of the bed, and held Zimo's hand tightly, without letting go.

"Good. Zi Mo nodded, and quietly watched the third brother fall asleep. The towering cheekbones seemed to immediately puncture the third brother's skin, and Zi Mo's slightly trembling hand stopped on his brow along Xiao Wan's outline, slowly smoothing the third brother's frowning brows.

The night was dark, and the guards at the door came to urge Zimo to leave.

The third brother hadn't woken up yet, Zimo slowly let go of Xiao Wan's hand holding him and left Luxiang Courtyard.

Returning to the Lanling Palace, Zimo didn't want to go back to the room, so he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and looked at the moon in the sky.

"Brother has something on his mind?" the ghostly Zheng'er didn't know when he got behind him, and asked softly. Xiao Tang got out of Zheng Er's arms, swept his tail, and landed on Zi Mo's shoulder.

Holding the little soup with the warm tail in his arms, Zi Mo turned his head and saw the slim girl. He could understand her eyes, her love was just beginning, and her eyes were full of admiration. Throbbing, emotional, he knew it when he brought her back.

"Zheng'er, I'm getting married。。。。。。 ”
