The palace is located in the east of the city, not far from the Xiangmanlou, only two streets.

Because of the rain that had just fallen, the streets of Kyoshi were all wet, and the potholed paths were full of shallow and deep holes, and the carriages were driving on them, and some of them were not very stable.

"Gao Changyu, are you tired?" Li Xiao leaned to the side and looked at the people who kept passing by outside the window.

"Ahh Li Xiao's question was very sudden, and for a while, Gao Changyu didn't know how to answer.

Tired. Of course tired, in the past seventeen years, there are few days when she feels relaxed, every day, she has to face countless problems, face countless troubles, she is very tired, really tired. Every time she hears or sees the princess Changle in the palace, who is about the same age as herself, she will envy her, one is Her Royal Highness the princess who is surrounded by thousands of people, and the other is the lord of the palace who everyone shouts and beats.

One has a happy life every day, while the other has to worry about even three meals.

Gao Changle was sick, and all the doctors and doctors in the Tai Hospital treated her, and even sent someone to bring in doctors from thousands of miles away. As for herself, a hundred taels of silver, no doctor is willing to lend a hand to help her. Gao Changle, Gao Changyu, only one word apart, but the status is worlds apart.

She wanted to hate, but she didn't know why, she couldn't. She was envious, but she was just talking.

"I'm tired." Gao Changyu sighed and leaned weakly.

"Well, why live." Li Xiao looked away and looked at the girl in the carriage.

Gao Changyu was obviously confused by Li Xiao's question, and he didn't react at once, and looked at Li Xiao with a puzzled expression. She didn't know why Li Xiao suddenly asked, "Why are you still alive".

To be honest, she didn't know why she was still alive, why she was so tired of living.

It should be reluctant, reluctant to this world, reluctant to give up his hard-won life, or rather, afraid of death.

Gao Changyu turned his head sideways, smiled weakly, and said, "Then why die." ”

"Because you are dead, you can be a hundred, and there will be no worries in the future." Looking at the injury on Gao Changyu's face, Li Xiao took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to her: "Wipe it, it will feel better." ”

As a result, Gao Changyu gritted his teeth lightly and smeared the ointment in the porcelain bottle on the wound: "If death can take away troubles, then why do so many people continue to choose to live and die, just to escape, to escape from those things that they don't want to face." ”

"It's not relief, it's fear."

"Yes, I'm Gao Changyu, it's very tiring to live, but I'm not afraid, and I won't run away."

"Because, in this world, there is nothing easier than living."

Gao Changyu's words were very light and weak, but for some reason, in Li Xiao's opinion, just a few sentences were shocking. At this age when he should have been innocent, he has experienced cold-eyed beatings from all directions, and even has to live in fear every day.

It can be seen that in the past seventeen years, Gao Changyu has not thought about committing suicide, but he has persevered every time, endured cold eyes and ridicule, and at the same time endured the suffering that should not be borne at this age.

Li Xiao propped himself up and laughed at himself.

Looking back on my past life, I was afraid of the torture of illness and the pain of the future. But isn't Gao Changyu's experience more tragic than his so-called cancer? But as a result, Gao Changyu did not choose to die, but lived tenaciously. On the other hand, I took a step forward and chose suicide, without considering those who care about me and love me. Selfish, he is liberated, but what about others, the driver, what will become of him.

I don't want to think about it, and I don't dare to think about it.

"Thank you, Gao Changyu." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The breeze blew in leisurely, gently blowing Gao Changyu's long hair that was scattered, like scattered catkins, light and indifferent.

She looked at Li Xiao, she didn't know why the young man in front of her suddenly said "thank you", for so many years, Li Xiao was the first person to say this to her, it was very strange, the white young man in front of her made Gao Changyu more and more unable to see through.

This person's style of acting is completely incomprehensible, and this person gives her the feeling that she is not like a teenager, but an old man who has gone through the vicissitudes of life and then sees through the world, this feeling is only available to those old antiques who have been in the court for decades, why, would it appear in such a young man.

"Crunch".

The carriage trembled slightly, and then slowly stopped.

"Li Gongzi, it's here." The coachman took hold of the reins of the horse, waited until it was stable, knocked on the carriage behind him, and said.

"I'm in trouble." Li Xiao glanced at Gao Changyu, then lifted the curtain and jumped down.

After a short stay, Gao Changyu shook his head, no longer thinking about Li Xiao's strange questions along the way, nor thinking about the latter's sudden "thank you".

Slowly got out of the carriage with his hands, and walked to Li Xiao's side without paying attention to the dirt on his clothes.

Li Xiao didn't notice Gao Changyu, just quietly looked at the palace in front of him, full of complexity.

It is worthy of the palace, although it has been in decline for more than ten years, but you can still feel the breath that continues to emanate from the courtyard.

The wide and magnificent door of the mansion is closed, and when you look up, the dusty eaves building is sleeping, except for the plaque engraved with "The Mansion of the Emperor", it can be seen that although the palace has lost its former glory, Gao Changyu, who is the lord of the palace, will still wipe the plaque.

This is the last dignity of King Yu's lineage, and it is also the last dignity of Gao Changyu.

"Li Gongzi, if there is nothing to do, the little one will leave first." The coachman looked left and right, and said timidly: "I'm afraid it's not good for this small carriage to stop here." ”

"It's all right, old man." Li Xiao arched his hand towards the coachman and said, "Thank you for sending me off today, go back, and take Li Xiao to thank Chen Gongzi." ”

"Li Gongzi is polite." The coachman bowed, got into the carriage and left.

"Let's go." Li Xiao patted the moss-covered stone lion and sighed.

These two stone lions who silently guarded the palace for countless spring and autumn periods, but because of the fall of the palace, they suffered cold eyes together.

This is especially true of the prosperity of the years.

Just as he was about to walk forward, Gao Changyu behind him reached out and grabbed Li Xiao's sleeve, and said with an embarrassed face: "Li Gongzi, if you are wronged, can you go through the side door." ”

"Huh?" Turning around, Li Xiao looked at Gao Changyu puzzled, the palace was not occupied, this mansion still belonged to the line of King Yu, why couldn't you go to the front, but to go through the side door.

But when Li Xiao got closer and saw the rusty lock hanging on the main door, he knew what the reason was.

Those people in the palace really treat Gao Changyu as a plaything and raise them at will. The dignified county lord, in his own home, can not go through the front door, can only go through the side door, this kind of insult, is it really necessary, why bother.

Thinking about it, Li Xiao stepped forward to open the lock, and a pretended lock was like paper in his eyes.

"Li Gongzi, forget it." Gao Changyu grabbed Li Xiao and shook his head.

She didn't want to offend the women in the palace because of such an unnecessary lock. Although they have been offended, it is better not to provoke them, since the palace likes these meaningless tricks, let them entertain themselves.

Li Xiao looked at Gao Changyu and sighed: "Since you have said it, then what else can I do." Lead the way. ”

"Hmm."

In response, Gao Changyu reluctantly glanced at the main gate of the Yuwang Mansion, and then had no choice but to turn his head and walk away.

It can be seen that Gao Changyu also wants to enter the palace from the main entrance, but there is no way. It's not that she hasn't tried, but the result is that she was scolded and whipped by those brightly dressed palace people. Over time, it's all about it.

I have to say that these little tricks in the palace are quite useful.

Li Xiao doesn't care, he can open it if he wants to, and for him, it's not troublesome. If the palace is looking for trouble, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is a big deal to hide back in Suzhou and let his father protect him. is Gao Changyu, who may usher in the beating of those cautious palace people.

Besides, he's here to heal, not a tourist, so why pay too much attention to these details.

As Gao Changyu walked through a muddy path, turned a narrow bend, and finally arrived at the side gate of the palace.

Compared with the main entrance, although the side door is small, but because of a long time, it is still much cleaner, there is no excess dust, only a broken sense of age, look carefully, there are several cracks on the top, like a thousand holes, old and weak.

"I've been wronged." Gao Changyu "crunched" and pushed open the wooden door and looked at Li Xiao with an embarrassed expression.

Li Xiao smiled faintly, crossed the threshold and walked in. The inside of this palace is a very different scene from the outside.

Outside, it's muddy and unaesthetic, but inside, it's lush and vibrant.

The grass is dense but not messy, the leaves are lush but not mixed, and the water is muddy but not turbid. Everything makes Li Xiao look comfortable, and the vitality in the decadence should be so endearing.

"Your Highness, is that you?"

A timid voice came from inside the moon gate, and then I saw a woman slowly poking her head out.

"Akika, it's me." Gao Changyu gently closed the wooden door.

"Your Highness, you are back." Qiu Xiang ran forward in small steps, crying: "Chunlan, she's about to die." ”

"Ahh Gao Changyu was shocked.

Originally, looking at Chunlan's situation, it should last a few days, if she hadn't heard that Li Xiao was going to leave Beijing, she would not have rushed to Xiangmanlou, and was met by Dou Bi of the palace.

You must know that the whole Jingshi, except for the angry women in the palace, is the king who hates the king the most for the king of the servant, because the family of the biological mother of the king was in prison and tortured when the king was in power.

"It's okay, it's okay." Gao Changyu comforted Qiu Xiang.

"This is Li Gongzi who came to Suzhou to be the princess witch doctor, he will definitely be able to cure Chunlan."

"Li Gongzi?" Qiu Xiang looked at Li Xiao, full of puzzlement.

The young man in front of him is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can he be a doctor, and listening to the tone of his own county lord, he seems to trust this young man very much, shouldn't he have a ghost in his heart and deceived the simple county lord.

"Are you really a doctor?" Qiu Xiang asked vigilantly.

ps: Every day I look at my own bleak clicks, my heart pulls out the cold, ε=( ́ο'*)))) alas.
