Chapter 72: The Empress of the Cold Palace is Back (31)
Su Su was a little frightened by Zhan Jia's suddenly sharp and shocking eyes, and looked back at him in a daze.
This stupid boy, why did he suddenly ———
Seeing Su Su's sluggish eyes, Zhan Jia suddenly lowered his head and smiled, the bottom of his eyes was shining, and the tear mole in the corner of his eyes was even more evil and dazzling, he turned his handsome face and buried it in Su Su's neck, his voice was hoarse and muffled, "I'm worried about my sister, I'm scared!" My sister is the only one in this world who is good to me, and if my sister is gone, I... I ......" he said, his voice suddenly choked, and he lay on his stomach like a little milk dog and nested on Su Su.
Su Su's heart softened instantly, he turned Zhan Jiajun's face, and saw him hanging his head and pursing his lips slightly, this cute and pitiful appearance Su Su couldn't stand it even more, "Okay, okay!" Isn't my sister here? I promise, I will protect myself well in this harem, not to let myself be hurt, and not to let our little Zhanzhan worry, okay? ”
Su Su held Zhan Jia's face with both hands, looked at Zhan Jia with serious eyes, and his voice was unprecedentedly gentle.
She treats Zhan Jia as a younger brother, for Zhan Jia, she is her only support, he has suffered since birth, and has not felt the slightest warmth in the world, so he is so dependent on himself, afraid of losing the only light in this world!
Su Shu understood Zhan Jia, so he felt even more sorry for him.
After two years of understanding, although Zhan Jia has never said anything about him, everyone in the palace seems to know about Zhan Jia's life experience.
Su Su only knew from other people's mouths that Zhan Jia was not an ordinary little eunuch, his real identity turned out to be a prince!
Of course, it's not the prince of Daxing, otherwise he wouldn't have become a little eunuch no matter how miserable he was.
Zhan Jia belonged to the prince of the deceased country of Yan.
Twenty years ago, Yan was a neighbor of Daxing, a hundred years ago the two countries were equal in national strength, one in the south and the other in the north, the two countries looked at each other across the surging river, and they have been peaceful and peaceful. Yan is located in the rich area of the south of the Yangtze River, rich in products, the country is rich and the people are healthy, but the royal family of Yan is blinded by the long-term peaceful and quiet days, and begins to emphasize civil governance, content with pleasure, and do not want to forge ahead.
Daxing is located in the north, although it is not as rich as the southern Yan country, but also the treasury is abundant, the people do not worry about eating and drinking, in contrast, the Daxing Emperor has always paid attention to the training of military manpower, is good at horse breeding, heavy military rule, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger.
The national strength of the two countries has become more and more obvious with the passage of time, but Daxing has not taken the opportunity to invade and seize the territory by force, nor has it pressured Yan to ask for tribute, and has always maintained a posture of peaceful exchanges.
Yan completely let down his guard, and after another twenty years, the reigning emperor of Yan at this time was even more indulgent, not only content with pleasure, but also did not engage in government affairs, all day long in beauty, did not listen to the advice of loyal ministers, only listened to the flattery of the traitorous ministers around him, plotted to kill the loyal and good, increased taxes, and the people were miserable.
The time has come, Daxing finally exposed the wolf's ambition at this time, taking advantage of the chaos of the Yan country, the army iron cavalry across the river invaded, the national strength of the Yan country is weakened, the troops are insufficient, and the soldiers have been scattered and untrained for a long time, how can they stop the elite iron cavalry of Daxing?
Daxing is like a bamboo, and several cities of Yan State have been conquered in January, at this time Yan State knows that it is invincible, and voluntarily becomes a subject of Daxing to pay tribute and sue for peace, and automatically sends the only royal concubine of the Empress of Yan as a proton.
That's Zhan Jia.
Listening to the eunuchs and palace maids, Zhan Jia was still a little milk doll less than two years old when he was sent to Daxing, that was Yan Guo was not dead, Daxing Ming also gave Zhan Jia the preferential treatment of a prince, and specially gave a palace to live, with exquisite food and clothing, and the eunuch palace maid was surrounded by waiting, which was almost the same as the treatment of the prince of Daxing.
But within two years, Daxing broke the agreement, and the iron cavalry re-set foot on the land of Yan, this time the Daxing Emperor made up his mind to capture the Yan State, unify the Central Plains Continent, and complete his grand wish of the first emperor through the ages.
Five years later, the land of Yan was completely captured by Daxing, and Yan was destroyed.
In order to prevent future troubles, the first emperor, the then Emperor Daxing, killed all the royal family members of the Yan Kingdom, except for Zhan Jia, who remained in Daxing as a proton.
At that time, Zhan Jia was only eight years old, although he had no worries about food and clothing, but his proton identity made him suffer from cold eyes in Daxing, and he developed a withdrawn and cold personality, unwilling to talk to anyone.
Emperor Daxing didn't want to leave a disaster and was ready to execute Zhan Jia, but he didn't want to be stopped by the empress.
The queen of Daxing at that time was not the queen mother of today, and the queen did not come out.
She is quiet and indifferent by nature, likes to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, thinks that the emperor kills too much, it is against the way of heaven, although Zhan Jia is a native of Yan State, but she grew up in Daxing since she was a child, and she is half a Daxing person, she can't bear and doesn't want the emperor to kill people under her nose, and tries her best to protect Zhan Jia.
Although the emperor promised to keep Zhan Jia alive, but after all, Zhan Jia is the prince of Yan State, and he has the royal blood of Yan State, although he is still a little doll who has not grown up, how can he rest assured?
He ordered Zhan Jia to be castrated, so that he could only be a little eunuch serving people in the harem for the rest of his life, and specially instructed the chief eunuch to let him do the dirtiest and most tiring chores, and he was enslaved all his life, surviving for a long time.
Because of the emperor's instructions, people in the harem, young and old, all saw Zhan Jia wantonly beating, scolding and humiliating, and anyone could instruct him to throw the dirty work he didn't want to do to him.
His body is forever covered with bruises, redness, swelling and scars, and his body is always hanging low and thin, which makes people feel distressed.
He is not like other miscellaneous palace people can eat and dress warmly, he can only eat one steamed bun a day, drink cold water when he is hungry, summer is fine, he has no clothes to wear, no matter how hot he can survive, in winter, he only has a thin layer of cloth quilt, not to mention warm, even the wind can't block it, not only that, other palace people can get cotton clothes in winter, but he doesn't, he only wears two thin clothes, he can only work non-stop during the day to resist the cold, at night, he can't resist at all, can only sneak into the boiling water room every day, Sleeping by the stove can barely survive the cold overnight.
The old eunuch who was still good at the boiling water room was not bad-minded, and every time he saw him, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and never said anything about it.
He survived like this.
When Su Su heard these things from the mouth of the miscellaneous palace maid, she had already burst into tears unconsciously, and she couldn't cry!
She thought that she had been cheated and betrayed, and that she had been burned all over her body, and that she had become a terrifying person covered in scars, and that she had suffered so much that she had no desire to live.
I didn't expect that there are such difficult people in this world, and it is extremely difficult to even want to live desperately.
He was only eight years old! Su Su didn't know how Zhan Jia survived, how did he survive?
It seems that even if all the suffering in the world happens to him, he will try to live!
