"Huh?"

Su Zhen was a little hesitant.

She's not one to help others, with the exception of the exception.

However, she was still touched by the little boy in front of her.

He handed over the candy as if he had handed over the whole world he had, and then hoped to get Su Jin's help.

"Sister, okay?"

The little boy asked softly again.

"Well, I'll take a look, but I'm not a doctor, so I can't guarantee if I can help."

Su Zhen reached out and took the handful of candy in his hand, and then put it in his trouser pocket, "Then I'll take your deposit first." ”

The little boy licked his lips, nodded, and reached out to take her hand.

Grabbed by his soft little hand, Su Zhen had a very good feeling, thinking of her Eighth Emperor Brother.

At that time, the eighth emperor brother was also so young, I don't know why, I like her very much, I always like to play with her, and when others scolded her for being a fool, he protected her, saying that she was the smartest and most beautiful imperial sister in his heart.

In fact, the Eighth Emperor Brother is a smart child, who can recite poems and tell stories at the age of three, and at the age of five, he has already mastered things that others can only grasp at the age of ten, and he will never forget it, so he is often praised by his mother and father as a little prodigy.

And this little prodigy likes to play with her, a recognized waste wood, so I don't know if it's too smart, causing him to recognize her pretending to be stupid.

However, this is not the case.

He often said to her very seriously, "Sister Huang, when I grow up, I will definitely protect you well and let you not be bullied!" ”

Whenever she heard his immature voice, but very manly declaration, she was very moved.

However, she can't express her affection for him, and every time she sticks to him, she always treats him indifferently, and then pushes him away, saying that she doesn't like him.

She didn't want to bond with any of her siblings.

The deeper the feelings, the greater the pain to be carried in the future.

But no matter what, she eventually fell in love with her, the Eighth Emperor Brother, and occasionally took his hand that reached out to her and grabbed him.

His hands are tender, soft and comfortable.

Just like the little boy's hand in front of him.

Of course, what she had to worry about, it eventually happened.

On the night of the eighth emperor's sixth birthday, he was found drowning in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden.

Looking at her younger brother who was salvaged and swollen all over, her whole blood was cold, and she could hardly breathe.

In the future, she can no longer listen to him call him the royal sister sweetly.

He could no longer eat the snacks he had secretly brought, and the Mother had rewarded him for his cleverness and cuteness.

I could no longer hold his soft little hand and sneak around the street......

He was only six years old, and he became a victim of this cruel palace struggle.

Because on the day of his birthday banquet, he was a big ghost, and he recited a poem in a childish voice: One day the dragon will get water, and I want the Yangtze River water to flow backwards; One day the tiger will return to the mountain, and I will stain half the mountain with blood.

At that time, her heart sank with a thud, and she hurriedly looked at the mother and the princess.

The queen mother's eyes turned cold, and as for the princess, although her face was as bright as a spring flower, the back of the hand holding the wine glass was slightly bursting with green tendons.

The Eighth Emperor Brother is going to play.

She looked at his lovely wobbling face with a sad heartache.

No matter how smart the Eighth Emperor Brother is, he is only a sixteen-year-old child, how can he understand the cruelty and power of this?

I don't know who wanted to put him to death and teach him to read such a poem. 、

It was a poem she had never heard before, but she felt it wasn't supposed to be a six-year-old.

"Yes, big heart!"

The Queen commented loudly.

The smile on the girl's face deepened, but her eyes were gloomy and uncertain.

Su Zhen knew her best.

Whenever she looks like this, it is time for the killing intent to suddenly arise.

After the birthday banquet, she wanted to find the Eighth Emperor Brother and let him play with her tonight.

It's just that she was a step too late, and she couldn't find anyone after searching.

The foreboding in my heart became stronger.

Unexpectedly, the next day I really saw him drowning in the lotus pond.

The lady couldn't keep him for one more day.

"Zhenshui is red-faced, jealous genius, my poor Eighth Emperor Brother, you haven't realized your ambition to reverse the Yangtze River, just leave, you let my sister and me, how can you not be sad?"

The princess looked at the body of the Eighth Emperor Brother, and deliberately said with a sad face, and said it very loudly, so that the brothers and sisters present could hear it clearly.

Stupid people think that she is really sorry for her brother's death.

Only those who are delicate and clear will know that she is killing chickens and monkeys, deliberately warning anyone who wants to compete for the throne with her will not die well.

Su Zhen clenched his fists, then let go, and silently turned to leave, walking and walking, tears on his face.

When she returned to the palace, she cried bitterly for the first time, for her poor Eighth Emperor Brother, for her cruel flesh and blood affection.

Xiao was always by the side, watching her cry, and then said to her, "What you want to protect, what you want to change, there is only one premise, and that is to make yourself extremely powerful." Before you have no strength, you can only shed tears and bleed. ”

Yes!

Before her own strength could not overwhelm the princess, she really couldn't do anything but shed tears and blood, and she couldn't even protect her favorite brother.

"Lord Wang, no matter what happens, I will be the strongest shield behind you!"

Xiao looked at her and said, "You can rest assured to do what you have to do." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao's words made her heart even stronger.

Yes, no matter when or what happens, as long as she turns around, she can see him!

*

"Sister, I'll take you to my grandfather."

The little boy's sweet and crisp voice pulled Su Zhen out of his memory of the Eighth Emperor Brother.

She blinked, withdrew the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes because of the memory, smiled, and followed the little boy to the other carriage.

This carriage is a luxury sleeper compartment.

It's not as noisy as the car I'm in, and there's no weird smell.

Everyone is either lying in bed, or sitting quietly doing their own thing, listening to songs and reading books, or playing with their phones online.

"Xiaodong, where did you go?"

A nice, very authentic Beijing male voice sounded, and asked a little angrily.

Su Zhen looked over.

It was a boy about the same age as himself, very energetic, at least one meter nine tall, wearing a red jersey, his hair was slightly naturally curly, and his facial features were good, but it seemed that his face and expression did not match his tall clothes, with a little simple childishness, small, eyes under a single eyelid, shining with the innocence of a heartless city.
