Chapter 8 Story
I looked up into the night sky and saw that the stars were bright and sprinkled all over the night sky.
"Your Highness, the sky is full of stars tonight." I looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said.
When he heard this, he lifted the futon and was about to get off the bed, so I hurriedly went over to help him.
But he shook his head and stood up on his own.
I looked at him, he was dressed in a crescent-white bedclothes, his hair was as black as ink, his body was long, and although he was sickly, he was not half as handsome.
He walked towards the large window, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the stars.
"Your Highness, it's cool at night." As I spoke, I draped the brocade quilt over his body.
"The priest once told me a hexagram, and the hexagram said?" He paused, his eyes sank, and he said no more.
I looked at his side face, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly, I remembered that I might have seen him, such eyes, such a tone? Before, Ge Kuo had found a job for Sister Yulan, and I also went to the backyard of the house to see a son-in-law.
The boy said that he had no breath when he was born, but seven days later he was alive again.
The eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him were exactly the same as the eyes of the prince at the beginning.
But he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why did he go to the palace for medical treatment?
"Your Highness, have you ever been out of the palace gate?" I looked at his side face and asked.
He lowered his eyes and looked at me, without denying or acknowledging it.
"Why do you ask?" He asked me rhetorically.
"Me? I'm just thinking that there are many famous doctors outside the palace, and it may not be possible to cure Your Highness's "illness". I explained with a smile.
He listened, and there was a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Perhaps, the fate is predestined at the moment of birth and cannot be changed." He said and slowly sat down in front of the long case.
"Your Highness, it's cold on the ground." As I spoke, I brought him a cushion and placed it on his side for him to sit on, but his hand put on the back of my hand and motioned for me to sit down too.
I sat beside him, and he pulled the brocade quilt up and covered me as well.
We sat side by side, he didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say to him.
However, sitting silently beside him, I saw his side face, and I always felt that as a prince under one person and above ten thousand, he seemed to have an indescribable loneliness.
"Your Highness, if you have anything to say in your heart, you can say it to me, don't worry, my mouth is strict, and I won't tell anyone." I looked at him and thought that I might be sent out of the palace in two days, and I would probably never see him again in my life.
When he heard me say this, he looked back at me in some surprise.
I looked at him too, and didn't dodge his gaze.
He stared into my eyes for a long, long time.
This made me a little embarrassed, and I hurriedly cleared my throat: "If Your Highness doesn't want to say it, then don't say it." ”
"Let me tell you a story." He suddenly changed his mind and said to me.
I was stunned and immediately nodded.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tilted his head slightly, and a strand of jet-black hair fell from his cheek, making the contours of his entire side face more clear.
I also learned from him to look at the night sky and listen to him.
A long, long time ago, the world was divided into three parts, and the three-legged stand was established, and the king at that time had a heavenly master under his command, who could calculate the trend of other countries, arrange the army, and never make a mistake or omission.
Moreover, this heavenly master also calculated that the eldest son of King Cao is the emperor who will rule the world in the future.
But King Cao himself was only a king at that time, but his eldest son was the future emperor, which made him always have a mustard in his heart.
even felt that this son was ominous and suspected of seizing the throne.
But the heavenly master is extremely accurate, and when the child was born, there was a red crow to congratulate him, which was recognized as a lucky star and could help the country's fortune.
As a result, King Cao was both afraid of this son and "loved".
After King Cao ruled the world, he welcomed countless beauties into the palace, and there were naturally more and more heirs under his knees.
I just want to pull it out, but I am afraid of ominousness, so I can only keep it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, turning his face sideways and looking at me.
"He's afraid of me, and the people of the entire palace are afraid of me! They said that if I am so sick now, I have provoked something bad, and as soon as I die, Tianxiao will usher in a new prince and a new light! ”
"Your Highness?" I looked at him with slightly dark eyes, and his face was full of loneliness.
"Let's go, it's cold in my palace, and you will also be contaminated with cold and bad luck!" He said, lowering his eyes slightly.
I reached out and grabbed his cold wrist.
His body shuddered and he turned to look at me.
"You're not afraid of being contaminated?" He stared at me with a deep look in his eyes.
"What kind of bad luck, what His Highness has on him, is just extravagance and blessing, it would be better to be more contaminated." I laughed.
The loneliness on his face subsided slightly, but he still withdrew his hand from my palm.
And, lightly said: "At most, in two days, you will leave." ”
"Me?" I looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
"How?" Hearing me sigh, he looked back at me.
"Actually, don't hide it from Your Highness, I entered the palace to look for someone, and I don't have the slightest eyebrows yet." I said, looking at the dark night, I don't know how my senior sister is doing.
"Who are you looking for?" He asked softly.
"My senior sister and senior brother, now, they should be in the Priest's Spiritual Division, and before, it was Xiao Ce, the high priest of the Spiritual Division, who took them away, saying that they were entering the palace and could treat my senior brother." I told the whole story in one go.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly, and after listening to me, he gently patted me on the shoulder to comfort me.
"Don't worry, after dawn, I'll send someone to investigate." He said without thinking.
"Your Highness, can you inquire quietly for me? That Xiao Ce, he took away my senior sister, and he still wanted to kill me, if he knew that I was in the palace now, he would definitely not let me go. I looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and pleaded.
He listened, and his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
"Have you offended the priest?" He guessed.
I immediately shook my head: "No, how dare we, grass people, offend the priest?" ”
"That's it, you just wait for the news." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, suddenly looking sideways in the direction of the door.
"The hour has come, and in a moment they will take you away." After he finished speaking, he stood up: "When it's ugly tomorrow, I'll see you later." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped me to my feet, and I nodded vigorously at him.
Outside the door, footsteps were also heard at this moment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lay back on the bed.
I closed the window, took the empty plate, walked to the wooden table behind the screen, and knelt on the ground as before, waiting for someone to take me away.
