Chu Yongnian walked a few steps into the courtyard with difficulty, holding on to the water tank in front of the door to cover his mouth and gagging, the cold wind blew into the loose robe, and his figure trembled in the gloomy sky.

"Brother Huang."

Chu Yongwang shouted softly.

Chu Yongnian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the little boy who appeared by the pillar in shock.

"Why did you get here...... Chu Yongnian hurriedly waved at him, "Go back, go back!" Fast! Chu Yongwang was frightened by his appearance, but he didn't leave: "What's wrong with the imperial brother......" Chu Yongnian was about to walk, when he suddenly felt dizzy, and staggered by the water tank with his forehead.

"Don't come here, don't come over Jiu'er, I can't accompany you now...... brother" Chu Yongnian smiled reluctantly, cold sweat was still sliding down his sideburns, and the clothes on his back were soaked.

He raised his hand to stop Chu Yongwang as he stepped back: "Don't tell anyone you've seen me...... Let's go......" he said, grasping at the edge of the tank, and plunged headlong into the water, before he struggled out for a long time, panting in embarrassment.

Chu Yongwang was frightened, and Chu Yongnian's soaked face turned red.

Something must have happened to him.

Chu Yongwang slowly loosened the pillars of the corridor and retreated to go out and call the imperial doctor.

But at this moment, the wooden door of the paper vault pushed open a small crack, and the sound of a woman sobbing came from inside.

Chu Yongnian suddenly had a blue tendon on his forehead, and he turned around angrily and walked over there.

The female voice in "Yongnian ......" is weak and pitiful, with a little pleading.

"Shut up!" Chu Yongnian walked quickly as if he wanted to close the door, but he couldn't walk steadily, and before he could get there, the door was completely open, and a slender woman came out of it, also disheveled, with crooked temples.

When she saw Chu Yongwang, she hurriedly pulled up her clothes to cover her face.

But Chu Yongwang had already recognized that this woman was Xiao Yaohua, the niece of Concubine Xiao Xian.

"Go back...... Put on your clothes. ”

Chu Yongnian pointed to the paper library, "Get out of here." ”

"Yongnian, don't ...... Yongnian" Xiao Yaohua grabbed his robe, and the pear blossoms and rain on his beautiful face were pitiful.

"What are you crying about? What else is there to cry about if you succeed?! "The beginning of the eternal year erupted.

He retreated to avoid Xiao Yaohua's hand, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards Chu Yongwang.

"Chu Yongnian, you can't do this to me, I'm all because of your ......" Xiao Yaohua leaned against the door and knelt down, crying and calling behind him.

Chu Yongnian didn't look back, and his trembling hand stretched out to Chu Yongwang.

"Jiu'er...... Come on. ”

Chu Yongnian gasped and pulled him up, "Don't look back, don't look at her......" Chu Yongwang's side face was blocked by him with one hand, and Xiao Yaohua behind them couldn't be seen at all.

"Chu Yongnian—" Xiao Yaohua shouted.

Chu Yongnian paused, and Jia Jingjing and a group of subordinates were walking towards this side.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Jia Jingjing hurriedly took Chu Yongwang from him, and when the other subordinates saw Chu Yongnian and Xiao Yaohua who looked like this, they all hurriedly gathered around and ran to report the news.

There was a lot of commotion, and the students looked out from the upstairs to check, and the girls in Lan Zhiyuan recognized Xiao Yaohua below and turned their heads and ears.

Chu Yongnian was completely stunned, standing in place and at a loss.

Jia Jingjing hurriedly retreated, hugged Chu Yongwang and ran, Chu Yongwang turned around and lay on his shoulder, looking back at Chu Yongnian.

Chu Yongnian shook his head at him.

Before she could say anything, Jia Jingjing turned around the courtyard wall, and Chu Yongwang couldn't see it.

…… Since then, Chu Yongnian and Xiao Yaohua have never come to Jingwei Academy again.

The events of that day were like a play, after the performance, there was only talk left, the more Chu Yongwang thought about it, the more scared he felt, he couldn't understand the appearance of the second emperor brother at that time, and he had never seen the gentle and dignified Xiao Yaohua show such an unbearable side.

Chu Yongwang, who was already unable to integrate into the Shangshu Pavilion, was even more afraid of this environment, and after only staying for three days, he cried and asked Jia Jingjing to carry him back to the palace.

"Wang'er is timid, and he is afraid of people, so it must not work to be surrounded by so many people."

Empress Yun persuaded the emperor, "It's better to send it bigger, and call the Taifu to come over here to take him on weekdays." ”

The emperor sighed and was dissatisfied: "How old is this to be unseeable, and won't all civil and military officials have to see him in the future?" The boy owes some beating! Since he is so afraid of people, he doesn't have to stay in Jiaofang Palace, so it's good to let him live by himself? Of course, Queen Yun refused: "The emperor said it easily, it didn't fall out of the emperor's stomach, how do you know that you are distressed?" As he spoke, sorrow came from it, and he sobbed and wiped away his tears.

The emperor immediately softened, took their mother and son and said, "Isn't this hoping that the crown prince can show his talents as soon as possible, and I can pave the way for him in the future?" Besides, at this age, it's almost time to enter the East Palace. ”

Saying that, the emperor touched Chu Yongwang's head: "What does Wang'er think?" Chu Yongwang shook his head.

The emperor was bored, so he simply gave up.

"I'm afraid that the emperor is not unwilling to Wang'er, but disappointed in the teachings of his concubines."

Empress Yun hugged Chu Yongwang tightly and refused to look up at the emperor.

"How so? Jin'er is very virtuous on weekdays, and the children can learn their mother's bearing.

It's just that Wang'er's personality is too unique, so it would be nice to be older. ”

The emperor, in turn, comforted her.

Chu Yongwang could hear the good words, but did not make a sound.

The emperor blindly wanted to coax Empress Yun, so he asked Jia Jingjing to come in and lead Chu Yongwang out, so Chu Yongwang was very accustomed to following Jia Jingjing out obediently.

From childhood to adulthood, it often did.

"Father-in-law Jia."

Chu Yongwang's childish voice called him, "Does my father dislike Wang'er?" ”

"How so? The emperor's favorite child is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Jia Jingjing picked him up and put him on the soft sedan chair.

"But Wang'er can't feel it."

Chu Yongwang whispered.

Jia Jingjing didn't know what to say, so she said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has felt it when he grew up." ”

Chu Yongwang bit his lip and was silent.

After returning to the palace, Chu Yongwang got off the sedan chair and said that he didn't want to go back to the room to rest, but just pulled Jia Jingjing's trousers and stood by the door, Jia Jingjing immediately asked everyone else to retreat first, and squatted down to accompany the little prince.

"The father only likes the queen mother."

Chu Yongwang waited until everyone else left, and then said aggrievedly, "I don't like Wang'er." ”

Jia Jingjing hugged him and felt distressed.

Indeed, although the emperor loves Queen Yun to the extreme, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's temperament is really difficult for the Son of Heaven who is used to being praised to like.

At that time, the ministers vigorously opposed his appointment of his young son as the prince, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is withdrawn and eccentric, almost falling into the prophecy of those people.

How could the emperor be happy? "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far more intelligent and stable than his peers, but now the queen mother needs the emperor's care very much, so the emperor will better protect His Royal Highness the crown prince by pampering the queen mother."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far more intelligent and stable than his peers, but now the queen mother needs the emperor's care very much, so the emperor will better protect His Royal Highness the crown prince by pampering the queen mother."

He didn't know how much of his words were listened to by Chu Yongwang and how many he could understand, but Jia Jingjing knew that how much of it was just a lie to comfort this child.

Is the Sacred Heart something they can speculate about? Whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, there is no room for them to argue.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, how can he understand the cruelty of his body, and how can he be willing to let him understand? Chu Yongwang's big eyes, which were always transparent, dimmed a little, and he often fell silent inexplicably, making people wonder if he was in a daze or thinking.

"I don't want to stay here."

Chu Yongwang pulled his arm, "I want the imperial brother." ”

Jia Jingjing knows that there are several royal brothers of the prince, but as long as His Royal Highness the prince says "imperial brother", there is only that one.

But at this time, the "imperial brother" is afraid that it is not easy to see.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince may not be in the palace at this time."

Jia Jingjing explained.

Chu Yongwang's disappointment is palpable.

Jia Jingjing couldn't bear to look at him sadly, and said, "Let's go to Concubine Xiao Xian's side to have a look, okay?" Chu Yongwang nodded.

Jia Jingjing took his hand and led him over there.

Under the long palace wall, two people, one tall and one short, moved slowly, as if the wind around them had quieted down.

Chu Yongwang looked up at the road ahead, the patrolling tiger army walked by, he pulled Jia Jingjing's clothes and hid in the crook of his arm until those people were all far away.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are the master, don't be afraid of these people."

Jia Jingjing said.
