"Ahem!" Ahem!"" Ahem!"

After swallowing a mouthful of warm bitter medicine with difficulty, I opened my eyes in a daze.

"Although this medicine is bitter, it works quickly, come, take another sip."

A deep male voice sounded in my ears, and I looked blankly for the voice.

The man smiled kindly at me looking at him, and he brought the spoon to my mouth and motioned for me to drink it.

"You ......" only said one word, the sword light and sword shadow in the summer night rain, lightning and thunder suddenly became clear, I looked at the man in a daze, suddenly pushed him back, and rolled my whole body off the bed.

Before the man could say anything, I got up and rushed out the door.

The mountain trail was not easy to walk, and it had just rained, and it was muddy all the way, and I fell and got up all the way, so I ran down the mountain like crazy.

I'm going to see Uncle Thirteen, I want him to tell me all the truth, I want to see him live well in front of me.

When I fell into the mud puddle again, the man finally caught up. He stood in front of me, and the smile on his face was gone.

"Get out of the way!" I glared at him fiercely, my hands clenched into fists.

"You're in a hurry to bury yourself, and I won't stop you." The man looked at me coldly, "But there's one thing I have to give you." ”

After speaking, the man handed me a small jade box.

"This is what your thirteenth uncle has always deposited with me, and he once instructed me to give this thing to the person he wanted."

I stared at the jade box in front of me, my hands getting tighter and tighter, but eventually, I let go.

I didn't go to pick up the jade box, I know, I'm not qualified yet.

The man looked at me, shook his head and sighed. He shoved the jade box into my hand and went up the hill with his hands in his hands.

"How many joys and sorrows in life, how can they reach my heart again and again?"

I looked at the warmth in my palms in a daze, countless sorrows and anger surged into my heart in an instant, I didn't know what I should do, I didn't know what else I could do, I just felt hopeless, suffocating despair.

The wind in the mountains was always much colder than in Biancheng, and the rustling of the leaves seemed so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly turned around and dragged my numb and stiff body up the mountain.

The man had been waiting for me at the door, and when he saw me coming, there was obviously a little more appreciation in his eyes.

He entered the house without waiting for me to get closer, and I followed quickly with the jade box in my arms.

"My name is Jing Wu, you can call me Mr. Jing in the future." Jing Wu stood in front of me, his expression solemn.

I looked up at him, and looked back at me quietly.

"Sir." I knelt down.

Jing Wu stretched out his hand to help me up, and he said, "In the future, you can study with me, and put the rest of your mind down for the time being." ”

"Also, your thirteenth uncle has nothing to do now, don't worry."

I looked at him in amazement, and smiled softly, just like the bright moon.

I don't know how many years have passed in the mountains, I have been immersed in reading, and more than half a year has passed, and on this day, a guest came to the mountain.

It's a teenager.

His face was haggard and covered in blood.

He came to apprentice, and at the same time, he came to look for me.

He was a few years older than me, taller than me, but much smaller than me, and looked like he was sick. He was holding something in his arms, covered with a black cloth, and I couldn't see it clearly, but I could tell at a glance what it was.

"Jean?" I looked at him quizzically.

He nodded slightly, grabbed one end of the black cloth with one hand, and with a slight movement, the black cloth fell to the ground.

"It's palliative qin, Gu Yuancheng."

I stared blankly at the exquisite and intricate guqin, and my mind went blank.

"When Prime Minister Gu left, he instructed me to deliver this piano to you."

"Gu... Look at... Prime Minister ......"

The young man looked at me and said strangely, "Didn't Mr. Jing tell you?" Prime Minister Gu returned to office more than half a year ago. ”

I immediately turned my gaze to Jing Wu, Jing Wu didn't look at me, and only said to the young man, "Xiao Dai, you put the piano in the room in the small city first, his residence is in the second room in the corner in front." ”

Li Dai looked at me, then at Jing Wu, nodded, and went out with the piano in his arms.

"Sir, if you want to say it, please make it all clear." I held back tears and turned my head away.

Jing Wu sighed softly, and he stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands.

"Your Thirteenth Uncle......"

"He is my best friend, a classmate, and a colleague who won the exam in the same year."

I pursed my lips to look at him, but I saw the glow of the sky scattered on his body, and he was lonely and detached.

"Later, I resigned and went into hiding, and he worshiped the official book."

"Although the court and the rivers and lakes are separated, we always get together to travel, or discuss national affairs, or comment on poetry and songs."

"Xiaocheng, on the day I resigned and went into hiding, I warned your thirteenth uncle, I told him, now Your Majesty is in his twilight years, the situation in the middle of the court is bound to be turbulent, Zhu Wang Li Gui is absurd, cruel and unkind, but he holds the military power of the Praetorian Guard, and will soon rebel, and he will not let go of him who supports the prince, it is better to follow me to Yinqishan, and it can be regarded as free and leisurely."

"But he didn't agree."

"I knew he wouldn't agree with what I said, and I knew I couldn't convince him. In his heart, he pretended to be the Gongqin Mansion, pretended to be His Majesty, and pretended to be the thousands of people in the Qi Kingdom, but he did not pretend to be himself. ”

"However, King Zhu is already the ...... today," I wanted to say but stopped.

"Xiaocheng, you must know that for the fall of a dynasty, one person is not enough at all." Jing Wu turned to look at me, "Even if it's a genius like your thirteenth uncle, who is rare in a thousand years." ”

What's more, "Jing Wu Bitter Smile" left him too little time, and there was only a short period of two years between when he was admitted to the Jinshi and the death of the first emperor. ”

My eyes widened in disbelief.

Two years? What is two years enough? It is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the DPRK and China in two years, let alone want to purge the current Majestic's henchmen?

"It's not that your thirteenth uncle doesn't know this truth, so he left that jade box to you."

I raised my hand and lightly touched the jade box that I had been holding in my heart, and my eyes were both stunned and frightened.

"It turned out to be ......"

It turned out that Uncle Thirteen had expected everything, but he just didn't expect my biological mother to be so cold-blooded.

Seeing my appearance, Kei'ai immediately guessed what I was thinking, and he walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder.

"He later chose to resign when the new emperor ascended the throne, not because the new emperor humiliated him in front of hundreds of officials and embarrassed him, he just wanted to take the opportunity to hand over the jade box to me, and by the way, dispel the new emperor's suspicions about him, so that he could prepare for the future."

"Who can be humiliated by a man like him?"

"It's just that I didn't expect ......" Jing Wu laughed sarcastically, "None of the people in this country's mansion don't treat him as their own relatives, and even accepted the secret order of the new emperor, monitored him day and night, and secretly put chronic poison in his medicine. ”

"You nonsense, this can't be!" I couldn't believe all this, I didn't believe that my grandfather would drug his son, I didn't believe that my father would acquiesce to his own brother swallowing the deadly poison "I ......"

The scenes in the previous rainy night suddenly came to my mind again, the bloody long sword of the thirteenth uncle, the cold eyes of the mother, the mountains of white bones of the domestic servants, and the pouring rain......

Can't relatives be betrayed for the sake of their own interests?

They can.

Keido knew that all this was too cruel and too difficult for a young child to accept, but this was the path he might choose in the future, and a moment of kindness would only hurt him.

"Xiaocheng, there is more than one thing in the jade box, you should open it and take a look." Jing Wu sighed lightly, "Your thirteenth uncle likes you the most, not because you have extraordinary talent and can continue his unfulfilled wishes, but because you have always been inferior and cowardly, and even extremely disgusted with yourself, but you like to listen to him play the qin, he can see the purest light in your eyes, he wants you to change your mind, not because of the country, not because of the world, and continue to suffer." ”

He couldn't forget the day Thirteen came to him, his eyes full of smiles that he had never seen before.

Thirteen said to him that he had met a child who was so clever and beautiful that it was as if a star had fallen into it. He wanted to take care of the boy and see what his future would be, and if he was as thorny as he was, he would shed his blood and remove it for him.

He said that he himself was destined to have no joy in this life, but he hoped that this child could live his life happily.

His heart seemed to be dripping with blood little by little, and Jing Wu was powerless to think back to the bits and pieces of their relationship in the past, he turned his back and closed his eyes.

"Go out, how to decide, you choose."

I moved my stiff body abruptly, and pushed open the door with trembling hands, and the sound of the door was particularly harsh in the silence, and I was startled by the sudden sound, and at this time, under the endless night outside the house, a little bit of starlight suddenly broke into my eyes.

It turned out that it was dark.

Tears slid down my cheeks, and I crouched down, finally crying.

From today on, no one will patiently teach me to play the piano, no one will pull the quilt for me in the cold middle of the night, and no one will be willing to carry all my joys and sorrows.

"Don't cry." Li Dai stood in front of me and comforted me, "If you are like this, the prime minister will be worried......"

A string in my head was tensed instantly, and I bit the back of my hand hard, forcing myself to stop crying.

I can't, I must not, let Uncle Thirteen go uneasy.

"You don't want that!" Seeing my movements, Li Dai was taken aback, and he immediately came over and pulled me, "Loosen up, loosen up." ”

Because I stopped crying suddenly, my whole body was cramping, and my face became gray and pale. I bit my hand tightly, but in the end I was pulled away by Li Dai because of my collapse.

"What's crazy? The way you are now, who will pity you except me? ”
