In the East Palace, in the most corner of the courtyard, the deposed prince Jiang Hongyao was lying on the ground in decadence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was almost no one outside the house, the house was bleak, and the ground in the middle of winter was cold and biting, but Jiang Hongyao, the waste prince in a single coat, didn't notice it at all, staring at the floor in a daze with a lifeless face.

"Squeak", the door of the hut was pushed open from the outside, but Jiang Hongyao on the ground ignored it at all.

A figure froze at the door with a tray.

It seemed to be looking, and it seemed to be looking, and his eyes finally fell on Jiang Hongyao, who was half-lying in the corner under the window.

The figure exclaimed in surprise and ran in and said, "My lord, what are you doing!" Hurry up, how can your body stand the cold air on the ground, master, get up. ”

"Hmph, I'm a waste, you don't have to be so nervous." Jiang Hongyao's words were full of decadence and self-deprecation.

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about, Master, get up quickly!" The figure who came in was a palace man who was about the same age as Jiang Hongyao, with a sad face.

"Get out of here!" Jiang Hongyao was a little impatient, and pushed away the palace people who were concerned about him.

"Master, the slave knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you can't practice your own body like this, people often say that you are not afraid of no firewood in keeping the green mountains.

Master, the slave begs you, please don't do this, get up, the slave helps you. Although he was pushed away, the palace people still crawled back on their knees loyally, wanting to help Jiang Hongyao up.

"Hmph, I'm all gone, the Nangong family is finished, what green mountains do I have, you should join them earlier, and find your own way out early." The abolished prince Jiang Hongyao waved his hand.

It turned out that the crown prince was deposed, and most of the palace people in the East Palace were also scattered, and they all found their way early, and there were really not many people left, which is one of the reasons why the East Palace is so desolate now.

"Master, the slave once swore that he was born as a master, and death was the ghost of the master, as long as you live, the slave swore to die, master, please, you get up, don't do it like this again, the slave looks distressed, master!" The palace people kowtowed sincerely.

"Huh...... Li Fu, why are you so stupid, I'm a waste now, I can't give you anything, you still do so much to me, it's not worth it......" The abolished prince Jiang Hongyao was finally recalled to a trace of reason by this loyal minion, and said abruptly.

"Master, the slave is by your side, whether you are the prince or not, the slave only knows that you are the master of the slave, nothing else, and nothing is not worth it, master, get up quickly, it will be a slave begging you, the ground is cold, your body has not recovered, and if you fall ill, I am afraid that it will be more serious." Li Fu pleaded.

"It's better if it's heavier, I just want to die quickly......" Jiang Hongyao smiled disapprerovingly.

"Master, you are confused, the emperor spared your life, that is to be extraordinarily gracious, if you ask for death, then what should you do if you let the queen mother, let the princess, and let the minions!" Li Fu knelt down and prayed.

"Huh...... Queen mother...... Hehe...... I am like this, where can I take care of them......" Jiang Hongyao looked desperate and self-defeating.

"Master, don't be like this, at least, at least you still have a minion, and the minion can still accompany you...... Master ......" Li Fu had tears in his eyes.

"Whew...... I didn't expect that I, Jiang Hongyao, would end up like this, ...... Wives are separated, all rebels and relatives are separated, and the family is lonely, calling ...... No, you're right, at least there's a minion as loyal as you, huh...... It's also considered ...... Hehe...... It's enough to ......" the waste prince Jiang Hongyao wore a cloak and smiled desolately.

"Master, the slave knows that such a big thing has happened, you must feel uncomfortable in your heart, but, but, hey...... Don't say it, don't say it, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, the slave brought a few of your favorite dishes, and helped you scald a pot of wine, master, you can eat a little. Li Fu helped Jiang Hongyao up, pointed to the tray on the table next to him, and said.

The prince looked back at a few small dishes on the tray on the table, and said with some surprise: "It's rare, you still remember what I like to eat, I have a heart." ”

"Master's preferences and slaves are all kept in mind, Master, come, you sit down." Li Fu hurriedly dusted off the dust on the chair with his sleeve, wiped out a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, and squeezed out a smile.

"Okay." The crown prince did not refuse.

Li Fu simply helped the prince to pull away his long hair, and then, like every previous time, respectfully presented the chopsticks to the waste prince's hand and said, "Master, taste it while it's hot." ”

Jiang Hongyao took the chopsticks, looked at the few small dishes in front of him, did not move the chopsticks for a long time, and his expression was sad.

"Master, the slave knows that these dishes are a little wronged by you, but ...... Today is the future, so you should use some of it. Li Fu thought that Jiang Hongyao was disgusting something.

"Huh...... I'm already a waste, where do I care so much, come, Li Fu, you also sit, since it's Chinese New Year's Eve, then you can also accompany me to use some. The abolished prince Jiang Hongyao suddenly sighed.

"This, the slave doesn't dare, it's better to ask the master to use it slowly, and the slave will serve you." Li Fu has been with the prince for 20 years, and he has long been accustomed to serving the prince like this, and the concept of respect and inferiority in his heart is still very deep-rooted.

"I'm no longer the prince, and you're no longer the prince's servant, just treat it as family, come, sit down, and eat with me." The current abolished prince Jiang Hongyao felt that the unofficial body was lighter, perhaps because he didn't want to live too lonely, so he called Li Fu to sit down.

"Master......" Li Fu was still hesitating.

"Why, I'm not the prince anymore, so you don't want to share the table with me?" The prince raised an eyebrow.

"Minions don't dare!" Li Fu was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Hey...... Alright, alright, get up, just as if I ordered you to eat with me, get up. The prince bent down and helped Li Fu up.

"Sit down." As he spoke, the prince stuffed the chopsticks into Li Fu's hand and said with a smile: "Actually, it's good to be so simple, it's not so noisy." ”

"Thank you." Li Fu took the chopsticks and sat on the edge of the chair slightly.

"Whew...... Let's eat, Chinese New Year's Eve night, it's time to eat and drink, eat this meal, I don't know where I will be next Chinese New Year's Eve, hehe......" The prince sandwiched a chopstick dish, and his face was full of self-deprecation.

"Master......" Li Fu really looked uncomfortable.

"By the way, didn't you say that you also scalded a pot of wine, pour the wine and have a drink with me." The prince seemed to have passed today and had no tomorrow, and his sudden sudden appearance made Li Fu's heart tremble.

"Come, I salute you with this glass of wine." Jiang Hongyao picked up his wine glass and smiled at Li Fu.

"Master, I can't do it, I can't help it, it should be the slave who respects you, it should be the slave who respects you......" Li Fu was flattered.

"Huh...... Whoever respects everyone is good, come and do it! Jiang Hongyao tilted his neck, a glass of liquor that was still warm was in his stomach, and his mixed emotions began to vent......

At the same time, the emperor had already arrived outside the Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's here." Zhou Gonggong signaled the palace people to stop the sedan chair and asked the emperor for instructions.

"Hmm." The emperor didn't have much expression.

As soon as the palace people outside Kunning Palace saw that it was the emperor, they immediately knelt down.

The emperor ignored them, and walked straight to the main hall accompanied by Gonggong Zhou.

"The emperor has arrived!" At the foot of the steps, Gonggong Zhou was already shouting at the top of his voice.

In the hall, there was a sudden sound of panic, and not long after, the palace door was opened from the inside, and the queen knelt at the door with two rows of palace people to greet the holy car.

The emperor looked at the empress, who was dressed in plain clothes and bowed her head and bowed, and was slightly stunned.

I haven't seen her for nearly a month, and the queen's coiled hair is half gray, old and wooden, almost unfamiliar, and the appearance of lowering her head suddenly makes the emperor a little uncomfortable.

The emperor's thoughts couldn't help but think of a long time ago, that is probably because he has not inherited the unification, the queen was also a simple and shy little girl at that time, at that time, there was not so much deceit, there was not so much blood hatred, there was not so much disgust and hatred, just a simple life, but now...... How could it be...... to such a field.

My own wife, my wife who shares weal and sorrow with myself, even if I can't hold it until I'm old, it shouldn't become like this where I hate and kill each other, hey...... At this time, the emperor's heart was torn and entangled.

Because the emperor knew in his heart that the end of such a break now was not only the fault of the queen and the Nangong family, but more or less, but also his reasons.

This is also why, with such a big sin, he has not been able to make up his mind to give the Empress Death, and it is also the reason why he will come late at night on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Your Majesty?" Gonggong Zhou saw that he was in a daze with the emperor, so he reminded softly.

"Whew...... Gonggong Zhou ...... "The emperor just frowned.

"Yes, the old slave understands." Gonggong Zhou immediately understood: "The emperor wants to talk to the queen alone, you all step down with me." ”

Gonggong Zhou's words were said to the palace people in the palace.

"Yes." The palace people who were kneeling immediately got up, then bowed down and immediately retreated.

"Your Majesty, please ......" Gonggong Zhou cleared the other palace people, and then sat down in front of the emperor, and then retreated by himself, guarding the door inch by inch.

In the hall, the emperor was sitting, the queen was still kneeling with her head bowed, and the two were still silent.
