The Crown Prince Chapter 35 The heart is like a knife
The moonlight outside the window shines into the courtyard, sprinkling a silver glow, and the green leaves outside the courtyard begin to gradually wither and yellow, falling silently on the ground, and people will make a crisp sound when they step on it.
I still remember when I was a child, when I was playing with my mother in the court, I would always inadvertently step on those withered yellow branches and leaves, and that crisp sound always made me feel very relieved.
At this moment, the scattered branches and leaves in the house also shook slightly under the breeze.
And the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was young and shy, his eyes were as clear as water, transparent as ice crystals on mountain peaks, pure white and flawless.
Ah Fu quickly retracted his arm and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking
"Your Highness...... It's good to treat Ah Fu. ”
His official words are always unfavorable, just like when I first came to Yinguo, there is about the queen behind me, and it can be regarded as a peaceful life.
But Ah Fu is different, he must have suffered a lot when he was a child, and he suffered a lot of cold words.
Therefore, can Han Qi blatantly take him to the mansion and brand Ah Fu with this lifelong shame.
"Ah Fu, I want to see Han Qi."
I have to see him, and if he doesn't treat Ah Fu as a human being, don't leave Ah Fu with me......
Alfoton nodded, leaned over to clean up the basket, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked out of the door quickly, not forgetting to lock the door before leaving.
I had been waiting in my room for about a stick of incense when I heard footsteps coming from the secret door, accompanied by the sound of stepping on fallen leaves, towards the door of my room.
A chamberlain opened the door for him, and I sat on a wooden chair and looked up at him.
In the past, he was just the same size as me, but now he has grown into a handsome son, with a tall posture, black clothes like ink, Lang Yan is unique, and he is the king of the world, and there is no other in the world.
The chamberlain who was in charge of the lamp opened the door and left in a hurry, Han Qiqian walked in the door, his eyes fell on me lightly, and he did not shy away from asking
"Have you figured it out?"
I was stunned, it was originally me who asked the teacher, but why did he ask me first, I cleared my throat and said
"Han Qi, are you not afraid of retribution for treating Ah Fu like this?"
Han Qi seemed to be amused by me, chuckled, held his forehead, and did not answer.
"You take Ah Fu to the house, and it's not good to take him with you, so please let him go."
Han Qi looked at me, drank a cup of tea, and slowly spoke
"Are you finished?"
I nodded, wondering why he didn't quarrel with me, but I saw him curl his lips slightly and look at me for a long time before he spoke
"No-put!"
I was furious, this man was so shameless, I didn't say what he did because I was concerned about his face, but now I don't think I need to
"Han Qi, you bastard, you actually humiliated Ah Fu with a soldering iron, I thought you were just thinking a little heavier, but I didn't expect that you were so vicious!"
Han Qi's hand holding the tea cup froze in the air, trembling slightly, just listening to a bang, the porcelain cup was crushed by him, and the broken fragments in his hand cut his skin, oozing thick blood, and slowly dripped onto his dark robe.
I exclaimed, and wanted to go up to check on his injuries, but I saw that he was expressionless, staring coldly ahead, his thin lips pursed, and he said lightly for a long time
"It turns out that I am such a person in your Chen Luo's heart."
I didn't expect Han Qi to say such a sentence, but I saw an inner servant rushing in from outside the house, kneeling beside Han Qi, trying to break Han Qi's hand holding the porcelain piece.
The blood was still seeping out, my heart seemed to be stagnant, and he stood up, threw the porcelain piece in his hand to the ground, looked sideways at the man, and said coldly
"Get out!"
The chamberlain hurriedly kowtowed, as if he had accidentally knocked on the broken porcelain, a wound was cut on his head, and he hurriedly ran out.
It was just me and him in the room, and the air was so quiet that it seemed to swallow me, and I sat down slowly on the edge of the table.
His hand was dripping blood sharply, and he looked back at me and said
"Luo'er, in this world, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes, don't you really want to know what I did?
Then I'll tell you, the person I like is Lu Peipei, and I've been using you all the time. deliberately took you to the battlefield and used you to report to the Qi Kingdom,
Deliberately taking Ah Fu to your temple to let everyone know that I don't like you is to make sure that I marry her without fail.
As for Ah Fu, I picked him up on the street a few years ago, branded him as a slave, and made him my slave, I have poisoned him, and if you want to take him away, he will die.
And the reason why this king keeps you is because you still have use value, Chen Luo, if you dare to seek death, I will make Qin Yu's life worse than death......"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he condescendingly told me that I was almost suffocating, and that something was blocking my chest.
In fact, I already knew that the person he liked was Lu Peipei, and I was extremely sad in my heart, I looked at him and said
"Han Qi, if you want to marry her, you don't have to make a special trip to Ah Fu to provoke me, if you let me know, I will give way to her......"
I saw him smile wryly, nodded, and didn't speak.
My face was hot and damp, and it was ridiculous that I knew he was using me, but I still had a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, this king has this intention, then you can give way......"
He said coldly, and then turned around and walked out of the hall, without looking back at me, the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to lock the door of the house, and I finally couldn't hold back my crying.
I didn't know why I was so sad, even more sad than I was when I knew I would never see my mother again, so I slowly crawled onto the bed and wrapped my legs tightly.
I wanted to forget all this quickly, and my mind was in chaos, and I gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw Youqing lying on the edge of my couch, and when I woke up, he hurriedly supported me.
I felt the fine sweat on my forehead and my heartbeat that gradually calmed down. Youqing also seemed to feel that something was wrong and asked me what was going on.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said
"Had a nightmare, it's fine."
Looking around, I saw that I had returned to my own temple, and the night was closed, and the dim candlelight could not illuminate the hall clearly, but let me see the corners of the young and moist eyes.
"Youqing, how long have I been asleep?"
I asked her, and the young man was in sign language, and I didn't speak slowly until she had finished speaking
"Have you slept for two days, did Han Qi bring me back, how is he?"
After saying that, I remembered that I had a big fight with him not long ago, how could it be that he brought me back, Youqing shook her head, with tears on her face, as if she had been greatly wronged.
I wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, holding her face
"What's wrong with you?"
Youqing choked up, saying that Ah Yu hadn't come back for a long time, and the palace had issued an order to promote Lu Pei Pei to be the princess, and after marriage, I would be the side princess, and the reward would be according to the old practice of the side concubine in the palace.
I lowered my eyes and remembered what Han Qi said to me two days ago, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad again, but the top priority was to find Ah Yu
"Youqing, let's go home."
I looked at Youqing, her face was dazed, as if she didn't understand what I meant, and I squeezed her hand
"In the past, when we came to Yinguo, didn't we draw a picture of the road to Qi Kingdom, and when we found Ah Yu, we took him home, okay......"
I miss home, I miss my mother, I miss my father, I miss all the Qi country, even if it is a weak national strength, since Yin Guo broke the appointment and sent troops to attack Qi country, then what reason do I have to stay here.
Han Qi doesn't like me, the queen is two-faced and three-stabbed, the emperor is unkind, in this cold cage, everyone's hearts are a cold stone.
There is no temperature, no feelings, only power and status, intrigues and traps......
Youqing nodded, and took out the silk cloth from his body, on which was a simple map carved in stone, as long as he followed this road, he could return to the Qi country.
I smiled excitedly, "Mother, I can finally come back to see you......
It didn't take long for the black clouds to dissipate, and the first rays of sunlight poured into the room, shining on the dust, and the Imperial Doctor came to my room early in the morning to ask for a pulse, and I pretended to be unconscious.
"Isn't the princess awake yet?"
The imperial doctor said in a hoarse voice, and the maid next to me said nothing, and I felt that my wrist was taken and covered with a light silk for a long time
"No, the princess is fine, she should be about to wake up, I will open a few more prescriptions, and I should go to the princess to ask for a pulse."
The crowd did not speak, and it was a long time before they heard a maid whispering to Youqing
"Sister Youqing, now there is a shortage of manpower in the princess's palace, a few of us, we want to help, you see ......"
I know what they mean, there is no shortage of manpower here around me, Lu Peipei's body is good, and he should need someone to take care of him.
I got up slowly, Youqing hurriedly helped me up, and several maids came to serve in a panic, I avoided their hands, and said
"Go to the palace of the concubine."
They lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, looked at each other and lowered their heads, I smiled lightly and said
"I won't embarrass you, Your Highness will definitely not come over again, I can understand where you go."
With that, they immediately knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and left the room in a panic.
I looked up at Youqing, and she didn't care about any of this as much as I did.
"Youqing, with your current light skills, can you walk through this mansion without being discovered?"
She was silent for a long time and nodded.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now the route in this mansion is almost explored, as long as I draw all the places I know to Youqing, she will go to investigate one by one, and she will definitely be able to find Qin Yu's location.
As for the place where Han Qi sits and sleeps, it is usually guarded by heavy soldiers, so naturally he can't send young people to take risks.
And if you want not to be discovered, you must bypass those obstacles, or lure away those guards, but during this period, you must also meet Han Qi.
I thought about it and decided to act tonight, after all, the longer it dragged on, the less chance I would have of finding Ah Yu.
That night, as usual, I walked through the atrium to the main hall, carrying two jugs of wine in my hand, but I saw that the room was brightly lit, but there were many guards at the door.
If Han Qi could be lured elsewhere, then the danger would be much lower when Youqing passed this road.
When he walked to the front of the temple, he was stopped by two guards.
"Princess, Your Highness has ordered, no one is allowed to enter tonight."
I suspect that Han Qi didn't have such rules in the past, and I wanted to explain to them, but before I could speak, I could only hear the coquettish voice of the woman in the room, which seemed to melt people's hearts.
"Your Highness, you are really good or bad, you should use the center to draw here, you see ......"
I was slightly stunned and looked up, but I saw the shadows of the two people in the room clinging to each other, one standing beside the other, leaning over, and the scene really seemed to come out of a picture scroll.
As if everything in this world was eclipsed in front of them, the basket in my hand fell to the ground suddenly, fortunately the wine jug inside was not broken, I picked it up slowly, but I heard the guard's voice come coldly
"The princess also saw it, the princess is talking about poetry and painting with the princess, it's inconvenient to meet guests, it's so late, the princess should go back......"
