35. Where is the heart

It was like there was a mist in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything. I tried to take two steps forward, and finally I could see clearly. There was a little boy in front of him, he was hiding behind a rockery, poking his head out to see the scene not far away.

I followed the little boy's gaze, and in a gazebo not far away, there was a middle-aged man and another little boy, sitting facing each other, holding chess pieces in their hands, as if they were playing a game. The middle-aged man looked a little thin, but there was an elegance between his eyebrows.

The middle-aged man rubbed the little boy's head from time to time, as if to encourage him. I don't know why, seeing such a scene, I suddenly felt a little sad. Look at the little boy behind the rockery, he is holding his knees and squatting behind the rockery, stretching out his little hands, rubbing his eyes, he is wiping his tears.

After the tears were wiped away, the little boy clenched his fists as if to cheer himself up. He ran out of the rockery with small steps, apparently trying to get to the gazebo. Who knows, when he was about to reach the gazebo, he stumbled under his feet, and the whole person fell in front of the middle-aged man and the little boy.

I exclaimed, trying to help him, but my hand went through.

"Father, you see, the imperial brother has fallen, hahaha......" The boy sitting opposite the middle-aged man pointed to the boy who fell to the ground and laughed.

The middle-aged man looked at the boy who fell and frowned: "As the prince, why do you still cry when you fall and get up?" Gu Shu, you have disappointed me too much. ”

Gu Shu? I looked at the little boy who had fallen to the ground, and it turned out that she was me.

The stubborn little Gu Shu gritted his teeth and got up, sniffed, and swallowed his tears: "What my father taught me is." She patted the dirt on her body and looked at the middle-aged man expectantly, wanting to hear some words of comfort from the other party.

After being silent for a long time, he didn't hear it, Xiao Gu Shu's eyes gradually dimmed, and he turned his head and ran away.

I turned my head to look at my father, he looked at Xiao Gu Chen and said, "Chen'er, you can't be like your imperial brother in the future, crying at every turn." Come on, let's continue to play chess. ”

Xiao Gu Chen nodded vigorously: "Yes, the son respectfully obeys the teachings of his father." ”

I smiled wryly.

Xiao Gu Shu felt aggrieved, and wanted to run back to the dormitory, but he bumped into Shen Jinzhong halfway through. Shen Jinzhong hugged Xiao Gu Shu, at this time he didn't have a mustache on his mouth, and he was quite handsome: "What's wrong with our Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Xiao Gu Shu looked at his uncle with red eyes: "Uncle, why doesn't my father like me?" ”

Shen Jinzhong stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Gu Shu's head, and said lovingly: "Who said that His Majesty doesn't like you, why do you want to make you the crown prince if you don't like you?" ”

Xiao Gu Shu was sad: "But just now I fell, and my father didn't come to help me." ”

"Shu'er, you are the crown prince, Your Majesty must want you to be strong, so that you can be a qualified and good emperor in the future." Shen Jinzhong comforted: "If you even have to be helped if you fall, it is really unqualified." ”

Xiao Gu Shu was puzzled: "Really? ”

"Of course." Shen Jinzhong looked at Xiao Gu Shu and asked, "Did you hurt yourself from the fall just now, show it to your uncle, is it still painful?" ”

Xiao Gu Shu spread out his hand, and a few pieces of skin were scratched on his small palm, but it was nothing serious. Shen Jinzhong gently whistled his little hand: "Let's go, uncle will take Shu'er to rub the medicine, so that there will be no scars in the future." ”

"yes, okay." Xiao Gu Shu nodded vigorously, reached out and wrapped his hand tightly around Shen Jinzhong's neck, snuggling in his arms.

Their backs are like a father and son.

I stood in the distance and watched quietly until they were gone, and I looked down at my palm. This year, I was five years old, and in my heart, my uncle gradually took the place of my father.

I know that my uncle may have other intentions for being kind to me, but I still like him. In fact, as long as my uncle tells me that he wants my throne, I will not hesitate to give it to him.

The reason why I agreed to cooperate with Yan Xiaoran and fight for imperial power may be because of my belated rebellion.

I never thought that one day, he would want my life.

"Shu'er...... Shu'er......" A call came, coming from all directions, and it was Yan Xiaoran's voice.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and what caught my eyes was the decoration of my bedroom, and Yan Xiaoran with a surprised face: "You finally woke up." ”

"I ......" I wanted to speak, but my voice was dry.

Yan Xiaoran took the water from one side and fed me a little. I looked at him and said, "Yan Xiaoran, you look so funny." He was wearing a palace dress, but he had a beard on his chin, which was a little prick to the touch, and he looked a little nondescript. Where is there still the appearance of the first beauty, she is clearly a rough man.

Yan Xiaoran glared at me, and he directly leaned his chin over and rubbed it against my face. I pushed him away, but I didn't pay attention to the wound, and I gasped in pain.

He didn't make a fuss anymore, and hurriedly asked: "I pulled the wound, does it hurt?" ”

"I'll stab you in the heart, do you want to see if it hurts?" I replied angrily, who knew that he leaned over and rested his head on my shoulder: "It hurts." It was like a real stab in my heart, it hurt. ”

I was stunned, turned my head and comforted him: "Then I'm not okay now." ”

"You've been in a coma for three days."

I rubbed my stomach: "No wonder I'm so hungry." ”

At this time, someone walked in, and when I looked over, it turned out to be the queen mother. She came in alone, carrying a bowl of porridge, and when she saw me wake up, her eyes were full of surprise: "Huang'er, you are awake." ”

Yan Xiaoran got up, and the queen mother glanced at him: "You hurry up and wash up, if you show it to others, it will be troublesome." ”

Yan Xiaoran left, and the queen mother sat down beside me, looking at me and choking: "Emperor, you have suffered." ”

I pouted: "Queen Mother, you feed me first, and when I finish eating, you will cry slowly." ”

The queen mother slowly stirred the porridge: "This porridge was originally for the queen, just in time for you to catch up." Come on, be careful of scalding. She said while feeding me, "The last time the mourning family fed you was when you were ten years old. ”

I smirked: "If the queen mother misses, she can come and feed me every day." ”

She glared at me angrily: "It's not serious, it's already married." ”

I swallowed the porridge in my mouth: "What is married, I am a wife." But when I heard the queen mother's words, I was also quite happy, she admitted Yan Xiaoran.

The queen mother said: "You queen, it's still good." That day he came back with you covered in blood, and I heard that you were going crazy. During the days you were unconscious, he also stayed by your side and never left. At the beginning, it was really the mourning family's mistake. ”

I was proud: "That's your daughter, I'm attractive." ”

The queen mother scratched my face: "You are blessed." ”

Yan Xiaoran had already shaved the beard on his face, and he became the number one beauty again, and he said, "Uncle Guo is here." ”

We smiled suddenly: "No, I don't want to see him." ”

The queen mother didn't say much, she got up: "I'll go and tell your uncle, you have a good rest and take care of your body." ”

Yan Xiaoran sent her mother to the door, and suddenly said: "Queen Mother, don't say that Her Majesty has woken up, if you can, just say that her injury has worsened." ”

"Why don't you say I'm awake?" I asked him.

He took off his shoes and lay down next to me: "See what he really wants to do." He stretched out his hand and gently wrapped his arms around my waist: "Gu Shu, you are really fateful, that assassin obviously stabbed you in the heart, but you still came back to life." ”

I rubbed him: "Maybe it's because I don't have a heart, so I can wake up, don't you often call me long-hearted, but fortunately I haven't been long." ”

Yan Xiaoran: "...... Fool. ”

"You haven't said yet, what do you want to see Shen Jinzhong do?" I'm not happy that he just changed the subject.

Yan Xiaoran sighed and said, "Since he sent a killer to kill you, it means that you have done something to make him anxious." If you think about it carefully, it's the matter of us going to Shen Qing. He wants to take advantage of your unstable foundation to get rid of you first, and then ......"

"And then take the opportunity to rebel against the throne?" I took his words, and my heart couldn't help but feel cold again.

Yan Xiaoran snorted: "So, you have to pretend to be very injured now and see if he will make any moves." ”

I want to stop talking, if my uncle is really going to rebel, what should I do?

Yan Xiaoran seemed to see my thoughts: "I have already sent someone to inform Shen Qing, and he is also ready, in two days, he will sneak into the capital secretly with some people first, and be on standby at any time." His words were a little solemn: "Shu'er, I'm afraid the contest between you and Uncle Guo is about to start." ”

I was a little flustered, and yes, it really started. Before, I was running away, but now I have to face it. I squeezed Yan Xiaoran's hand and looked at him, "You'll always be by my side, won't you?" ”

"Yes." He brushed my hair away and looked at me burningly: "I will always be with you." ”

Actually, I don't like to rely on one person too much, but now it seems that relying on Yan Xiaoran is not bad.

"Gu Shu, do you know that the assassin was sent by him, so he didn't dodge?" Yan Xiaoran asked me suddenly, his expression was a little solemn, and I had to be right.

I nodded, I was a little shocked at the time, so I didn't have time to dodge, not on purpose.

"Next time, if you get distracted at that time again, I'll break your legs." He threatened viciously.

I wondered, "I'm distracted, why are you breaking my leg?" Is there a difference between my legs and my mind wandering? I corrected him, "You should say, if I get distracted any more, you'll have my head gone." ”

Yan Xiaoran: "......" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Isn't the focus of my sentence in the back?" Shouldn't you promise me at this time that you will never get distracted again? Gu Shu, why do you always miss the point when talking to you? He looked at me with some weakness.

I thought for a moment, "Because you're talking about the point." ”

Yan Xiaoran sighed: "Gu Shu, you always have the ability to make me half angry, but another sentence eliminated all my anger." ”
