Chapter 59
I finally found his traces, the prince who was even picky about the countless delicacies in the palace, and now he would actually devour the rough and hard-to-swallow things of the common people, if he put it in Pingyue, he probably didn't even have the interest in taking a look, in the palace, he was so arrogant, not even the slightest flaw could enter his eyes, but now what he needed was just a bun that could be used to satisfy his stomach, I smiled bitterly, if this kind of thing reached the ears of his father, I'm afraid even that person will be stunned.
But I was afraid, I was afraid that he would be taken away because of his ignorance of the world, and that he would not have enough food or clothing. But now I have nothing to do to help him, I can only pray for the heavens' protection, and pray that he will be safe until I find him.
The owner of the steamed bun shop really didn't guess wrong, in an inconspicuous noodle restaurant that only Liba would go to, I found the news I wanted to hear again, that child, sure enough, he lingered here for a long time, he didn't even have a penny on him, how did he survive these few days I can't imagine it, you are a prince, but you have to worry about an ordinary meal like a commoner, I can't help but be a little confused, fifteen princes, in order to find a person who knows your heart, you have to pay such a huge price, Is it worth it?
I don't know if I can answer such a question. As I was leaving, a kid who came out of nowhere hit my lap laughing, as if playing a game with someone, and the sugar gourd, which I put in my mouth from time to time to suck on, fell on my shoe, and rubbed a piece of sugar coating on it.
"Your Excellency!" A few of the guards who followed rushed over at once, as if it were a sharp, poison-hardened dagger, rather than a sugar gourd that even a child would be reluctant to put in his mouth to eat. Seeing them as if they were facing a great enemy, I waved my hand to signal that they were all right, and when I turned around, I saw those bright eyes that seemed to be filled with tears.
Perhaps it was because he was frightened by the fierce looks of the people who suddenly rushed over me, and even when I crouched down and stretched out my hand to him with a smile, he just flinched back without saying a word. I can't help but be a little frustrated, after staying in the palace for so long, probably even the children on the street will be afraid of the cold air brought out of me, the chill in the deep palace, even the hottest dog days can not be completely dispelled. A child is very sensitive, and he can detect whether a person is good or bad more easily than an adult. Ask yourself, although I am not a hopelessly bad person, but I also have nothing to do with good people, intrigue in the palace happens from time to time, to the emperor who ruled the Great Zhou for decades with iron and blood means to clean up the aftermath, to give death to a noble concubine who broke the precepts, I have done all of them, but I have done only one thing that I regret for the rest of my life, that is, the cup of poisoned wine handed to Fuwan.
I smiled bitterly, and when the child looked at me, his expression was no longer aggrieved and sad, but scared and frightened, and I clearly knew what kind of person I was, just like the rotten face in those innocent eyes, probably now, even my heart will slowly decay.
"Grandpa, you're crying," a warm little hand quietly approached my face, and the chubby fingers gently wiped away the tears for me that even I didn't notice, and at that moment, I suddenly saw my own shadow in those clear eyes, as if I had suddenly appeared in front of me an hour later, and I had smiled carefree like this.
"Grandpa, don't cry, look," another chubby little hand reached out to me, "I'll buy another bunch of sugar gourds, let's eat together, okay?" There was something magical in his voice that drew all my attention.
"Ah Hu, where did you go?" A girl who looked like a teenager walked out of a small shop that was steaming outside, and there was a faint greasy mist on her sleeves, and when she saw the child in front of me, her pretty face turned white.
"This adult," he rushed over in three steps and two steps to pull the little boy behind him, and the little girl suddenly knelt down: "My younger brother is young and ignorant, and he has offended the adults and asked them to forgive him." ”
"Your Excellency?" It's rare to have a sister with this kind of eyesight, I smiled and waved my hand, and suddenly pulled out a sugar gourd from the half-awake half-asleep person who was napping on the corner of the street, and handed it over, and by the way, I grimaced at the child who was trying to poke his head out of the back of the little girl: "This is what we agreed, right?" ”――
Divider-
When I found him, I didn't have the surprise I had at the beginning, and even I wondered why I had become so fast, maybe I was sympathizing with this child? Perhaps, he just wanted to shield him from the last wind and rain.
The emperor's order was not only sent to me, but also to all the state and county officials, and they were only ordered to find a teenager and send them a portrait of the fifteenth prince with the strokes of the fifteenth prince, but his name was not written.
He was the one chosen by his father, he was the one chosen by his father to inherit the great treasure, and although he could leave the gloomy palace so quietly, he would eventually be sent back. He is the prince, and there will always be a bottomless gully between the prince and the common people. Even though they can be together for a while, but they can't be together for a lifetime, between the Son of Heaven and the common people, he can only choose one, which is also the last choice given to him by the father who is in anger.
But knowing this, why do I have to ask myself over and over again in my heart, is it right or wrong to do this?
Why did you dare not appear in front of him even though you found him?
Do you really hope that the fifteenth prince can achieve the final happiness, or is it simply because she is afraid that she will face that familiar face again?
She was so much like a person, both in height and in appearance, she was exactly like the one who had drunk the poisoned wine, and I couldn't even tell if they were really two people, or if Furwan wasn't dead.
I took a few steps back in shock, trying to calm myself down, she couldn't be Fuwan, but what was that face all about? Why are two very different faces so similar, and what does she have to do with Furwan?
I'm going to wait and see what happens, and then I'll figure out her relationship with Fluff before I make a decision.
But I didn't know that the imperial court had already excluded the Xuanfu envoys, and those generals riding tall horses would have such magical powers, and they also found the door on the second day of my arrival.
"You let her go, I'll go with you!" The Seventh Prince suddenly rushed out of the crowd and stood in front of the girl.
I remember that he once called her Qing'er.
I remember that he stood in front of her for half an hour in order to make her Qing'er with a half-truth pleading on his face.
I remember the smiling look in his eyes as he shepherded with her.
I remember the expression on his face when he was taught a fierce lesson when he was left over for the first time.
I remember the last thing he said when the girl rushed to him angrily and asked something, which made me think he was playing a trick, but I didn't expect him to really disobey his father's order for a woman.
Prince, don't you really want to fight for that throne? Are you really willing to be a commoner so peacefully?
I don't want him to stay here just doing nothing, I want to see another emperor, even if I know he doesn't want to be that emperor.
When the chief of the guard coldly asked the officials and officers who had come here to leave, I knew that my time was running out. Three days, three days is the journey of the fast horse from here to the capital, my time is only three days, I will take him away after three days, even if I know that he will hate me, even if I know that the two of them are separated by the end of the world, even if I know that this does not mean that I can hide from the world, but I will still take him back.
Because I can't tell him all about the pain in the heart of the Seventh Prince, because I don't want to see another girl die because of one of his rash and reckless decisions, because I can only take the other one of them.
If I had to choose, I would rather take the fifteenth prince with me, because in this way, I would be able to leave the last glimmer of hope in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
