"Thank you!" I smiled, jumped a few steps with joy, and then turned back to face Su Xiao, "In this world, there are not many people who can make me look forward to and promise to believe in me, and you are one of them." ”

"Su Xiao, I also promise you that from now on, I will not frame you. I will also do my best not to let you get hurt. After I finished solemnly, I patted Su Xiao's shoulder heroically, as if patting my best brother, "I'm done, I'm leaving, brother, there will be a period later!"

Su Xiao couldn't react at all, and watched me walk away with straight eyes, without responding or politely retaining.

"Report ~ Childe asks to see the eighth prince!" Canghai walked out in white clothes in the voice of the little maid announcing my request to enter the hall today. When he came to my side, he turned around and arched his hand, and his voice was soft and soft: "Brother Huang stopped, and the younger brother will visit me again another day and say goodbye!"

Xuanyuan Ran walked to the door to see him off, and there was an unusual kindness in his graceful and luxurious politeness: "Brother Huang, thank you here for my brother, he will have a good reward one day!"

"The imperial brother will be victorious, and the courtiers are waiting for good news!" came a laughing voice from the veil of the sea, and he bowed his hand again, turned around in a dashing manner, and walked towards the gate.

I hurriedly followed, and the meaning of my own people was about to come out when the two princes spoke. I knew that Canghai had successfully narrowed the distance between each other.

Su Xiao slowly walked into the hall and stood behind the second prince: "Your Majesty, the strange reason why the eighth prince came today seems to be not simple. Did he threaten the king with the case of ecstasy?"

"You are too grassy and woody," Xuanyuan smiled with satisfaction, as if he did not hide his contempt for the eighth prince, "He was just born to a concubine with a humble status, and that concubine has been dead for many years, has no background, no backer and no strength, where does he dare to threaten me, he is a special trip to show goodwill, and by the way, thank him for saving his inner pet!"

"Oh!?" Su Xiao raised his eyebrows, and disbelief flashed from his black and white eyes, "Eighth Prince, since you have made a special trip to thank you, there is no reason to hold back and close the door and say in private?"

"It's about male pets, and it's disgraceful after all, and it's understandable that a third party won't hear it. Xuanyuan Ran smiled comfortably, with a look of course, "Also, he told me that the fifth prince and his dying mother are preparing a detailed plan to do something to my mother. The news of the Eighth Prince is exactly what my mother knows. I can't see that this silent lone prince can actually bury chess pieces next to Concubine Xu Shu, it's not easy! Now that he is under my command, he understands it!"

Su Xiao was silent, and did not tell himself that he had identified the lord who wanted to assist, and that the male pet was actually a woman. There was no warning, the eighth prince was playing a game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. This is the first time, even Su Xiao himself felt incredible, and he would keep it secret for her because of a few words from that little concubine.

Su Xiao retreated and walked back to his room with hurried steps. The moment he closed the door, Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief. You can finally take off the mask of calmness! You can be worried, you can be anxious, you can be restless, you can be excited!

As the first strategist of the Second Prince's Mansion, he must force himself to have the aura of this position. Joy and anger are not ashamed, and they are always calm and calm.

Only in one's own room, in this place of one's absolute freedom, can one breathe out the depression that is about to suffocate.

The room without lights is as dark as the deep sea. Su Xiao was in a trance with a relaxed face, and lay flat on the bed. The splendid and gorgeous pillow mat bedding is soft and soft to lie on, but it is not as comfortable as the coarse cloth bedding of the wooden bed at home. When you think of your original decision, will you really regret it one day?

I still remember that the layman asked himself that he would never regret his decision again, but he was still willing to leave his hometown?

At the moment of parting, I promised to fulfill his long-cherished wish in this life to the monk who had been with me for 12 years, this lonely man who taught me the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the art of war.

The woman who made him willingly abandon the majestic and majestic strategy and live in seclusion married the emperor and gave birth to a prince. He regarded her son as his own son, and hoped that her son could get the best of everything, the position of the crown prince, the respect of the emperor, and the world from all over the world.

I know that the prince born to the beloved woman of the layman is the second prince who is currently the longest-ranked. The eldest prince has passed away, and the second prince has become the emperor's eldest son. The emperor no longer has a son-in-law, and under the practice of establishing a chief, the second prince is most likely to become the crown prince. I became a confidant of the future emperor when I was in the palace, and I will surely fulfill the ambitions of my own generation of famous ministers in the future.

But now, nesting beside the second prince, fighting for his palace, planning one after another all-encompassing dirty tricks, living a life of losing himself. And the second prince is far away from being crowned the crown prince, not because he doesn't work hard enough, but because the second prince has limited qualifications, and he may not be able to fight his brothers in the future!

From the hesitation when he didn't meet the second prince, to the current hesitation, he began to worry that he would not be able to fulfill the wish of the layman.

Because, when we stand firmly in the most prosperous and splendid place in the world, in the center of the whirlpool of the highest power in the world, we will realize how hideous and terrifying the human heart is! In front of us, there is a lot of life and death all the time. This kind of life is tireless.

Su Xiao let out a long sigh, even if he was tired of this place, he had to continue. has become a prince's confidant, and if he wants to leave and be himself, unless he dies, it is impossible to live peacefully with all his secrets, even for a day!

In the blink of an eye, time has gone and winter has come again, time is not old but never stays! Su Xiao smiled gloomily, remembering that when the layman taught him the first lesson, he said: "You remember this sentence, the supreme man has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name." One day, you will understand the meaning of this sentence. At that point, I wonder if you will be grateful to me, or will you resent me?"

Now, I finally understand what this means. One day as a teacher and a father for life, even if you don't want to recognize me as an apprentice, in my heart, you will always be my most grateful master.

To others without self - a person with a high level of cultivation can be selfless and unhindered;

God-man merit - a person who has attained the realm of deification by cultivation has no desire for all fame and fortune, and disdains it;

The Saint is Nameless - The moral learning has reached the saint who knows all things deeply, and the reputation is even more disregarded.

Su Xiao breathed deeply, it turns out that the highest state of human life is the freedom to abandon fame and remove the shackles of foreign objects!

Su Xiao closed his eyes, but there were grassy hills in front of him, green under the bright sun. The little boy riding the ox happily blew the newly learned tune, and the melodious sound of the song soared into the sky.

Su Xiao sighed lightly, reluctant to open his eyes, this is how carefree he was when he was a child! The sky was always blue, the clouds were always white, and the days were always happy.

Su Xiao smiled and frowned, when did it start, all this changed? Did it start when he shouted to the reclusive man on the hill, he must be a great official and enjoy life? Or was it the first time he stood under the hill and looked up and learned the first poem he taught?

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it flies angrily, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. Those who are in the south of the underworld, Tianchi is also ......"

In the memory, this still childish voice is so serious. Stand under the hills, tilt your head up, and recite intently. Word by word, word is round.

At that time, I only knew that someone could finally teach me to read and write. I didn't know that I had given up the plain and comfortable rural years and chose a life path completely different from that of my ancestors.

Outside the door, two delicate little maids walked softly, looking at the room as dark as ever, looking at the accustomed closed door, a clear look, and then silently guarded the door, standing and waiting.

"Meals. Finally, a faint voice came from the door, and the two maids immediately responded at the same time, saying in unison: "Yes, Master Su." ”
