In the East Palace, Shadow knelt on the ground and said nothing, but his expression was a little indescribably sad.

Today, the prince inadvertently learned about his life experience, and found that the secret guards around him knew that he had been investigating silently, but he refused to tell himself, and he was angry.

Shadow's master had died, but his master was still alive, and the prince ordered him to be whipped.

When Shadow got the news and rushed over, the prince only asked him if he knew his life experience, and Shadow betrayed himself without noticing his expression for a while, so the prince let him watch his master be tortured.

Ying didn't understand, obviously the prince didn't ask them, so they kept their duties and kept their mouths shut, why did they whip his master at this moment!

As a secret guard, the shadow team is biased towards collecting intelligence, and the loyal team is biased towards monitoring and protection, and they can't disclose the information they know at will.

Besides, this is the emperor's silence, they don't say it's for loyalty! Why should the faithful be punished?

Ying didn't intercede for his master or stepped forward to bear the punishment for his master, he knew that the prince was venting his anger at his own life experience and his resentment against the current emperor!

Yes, he knew that the much-criticized lifelong unmarried aunt who had been raising him was actually his biological mother!

He couldn't accept it, and he didn't understand why, since it was his aunt who gave birth to herself, why didn't his father take her into the palace, but let her stay in the backyard of her mother's house for the rest of her life, leading the practice!

How could his father, who he had always feared, be so cruel to his mother!

and the queen, who always thought she was her biological mother, was his aunt, and she even allowed such a thing to happen.

It's no wonder that although he is very close to the queen, he can't always feel the tacit understanding between mother and son.

It's no wonder that during the years that she was not in the capital, as a mother, she didn't cultivate some power for herself, and she had to come back all the way to start from scratch.

It turned out that she was not her biological son at all, so she didn't treat herself with her heart.

The prince was suspicious of all the people around him for a while, and always felt that all the people who knew this secret were secretly watching his jokes!

Shadow's master was beaten to the point of dying, and he ordered to stop. Finally, he orders Shadow to take his master back and warn him with his master's fate that he should never try to hide anything from himself.

Without saying a word, Shadow carried the master back to the Dark Guard's station.

His master's new and old injuries attacked together, and his life hung by a thread for a while, and Ying looked at his master worriedly.

"Shadow, don't worry, if the master can die in bed in this life, it will be a merit."

"But the master is obviously loyal to His Highness, and he has no two hearts!" Shadow is stubborn.

"Don't forget, we are the emperor's people to His Royal Highness, and we should have voted for the name."

"The master also abides by the code of secret guards, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"It's not a bad question, for Your Highness, we know that he has doubts about this matter and is investigating it, but we don't report it, this is a betrayal!"

Shadow shook his head, not understanding.

"Your Highness is disappointed, disappointed in our attitude."

Shadow pouted, no matter what, it was too chilling to be so ruthless to a person who didn't make a mistake.

"I'll get you a doctor." The shadow left through the window.

It's not that the guards don't have doctors, but if they could heal the master, he wouldn't have so many secret injuries.

He thought of the divine doctor, and at this moment he was conditioning Xia Yibai's body in the prince's courtyard.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was so unfair, a miracle doctor with top medical skills, just because Liu Ye was his apprentice, he was willing to be a therapist by Xia Yibai's side!

The shadow of the face doctor still has to be given, after all, it is also an old acquaintance, and he also protected Xia Yibai all the way not long ago to lobby various countries.

The doctor believes that skin injuries are still very easy to treat, but some old dark injuries are not easy to regulate.

After careful consideration, he finished his treatment, settled down a few words and left.

"It doesn't matter if your master's skin is traumatized, the medicine I prescribe can be applied externally or internally. These two pairs of medicines have been used up, come and pick me up again, your master's body needs to be slowly adjusted. "The divine doctor instructed the shadow.

"Thank you, seniors." Shadow is very polite.

The divine doctor waved his hand: "My two apprentices, they are stupid, if one day I am gone, you will take care of them for me if you have the opportunity." ”

"Seniors rest assured." Ying was very moved, and the divine doctor reminded him of his master.

The divine doctor didn't ask anything, after all, as a person beside the prince, Ying was so nervous, he must also be a very important person, and he would be seriously injured like this...... It is self-evident who laid the hand. However, the miracle doctor will not pay attention to these, he has his own insistence and position, and he will not change easily.

However, he also knew the cruelty of the superior from beginning to end, and he never thought of really attaching himself to the crown prince at the beginning of his freshman year.

After sending the divine doctor away, Ying grabbed the medicine according to the prescription and boiled it and sent it to the master.

After resting for a long time, he was in better spirits, looking at the shadow who took care of himself carefully, and a warm current crossed his heart.

"Ei, have you ever thought about what you're going to do if you don't become a secret guard?"

"I never thought about it, isn't the secret guard for life?"

"Forever? And what about Tadaji? ”

Shadow was stunned, yes, how could Zhonger be transferred.

"So, think about it."

Ying shook his head: "Now the prince is very dissatisfied with us, it's unlikely." ”

The master sighed: "Think about it, in this life, I can see that there are apprentices who can break away from the secret guard, and the old man has no regrets in this life." ”

Shadow fed him the medicine and watched him fall into a deep sleep, thinking that it seemed that this medicine still had the effect of helping him sleep.

It's okay, the master is exhausted, and it's good to sleep a little longer.

Then Shadow began to fight between heaven and man, could it be that the dark guards couldn't be alone if they obeyed the rules?

So what does it mean to be a qualified secret guard to satisfy the prince?

Then, the master told him to think about the future, and the words would not linger in his heart.

Xia Yibai learned about the situation through the divine doctor, and when Ying came to find the divine doctor, he left him to speak.

"Your master seems to be an understanding person," Xia Yibai nodded, "I can't and shouldn't leave a little bit of guilt for the prince for people like you." ”

"How?"

"The secret guard is the most personal man, not only to do the most secret tasks, but also the last person the prince can rely on, so the secret guard must be the most trustworthy person. If the Dark Guard himself has a bad feeling for His Highness, it will definitely affect his loyalty. Xia Yibai analyzed.

Ying understood this, but he still didn't understand the prince's whipping of his master, wouldn't this kind of behavior make it easier for him as a secret guard to rebel?

"The prince is angry!" Xia Yibai sighed, "This incident is too stimulating for him. ”

Ying nodded, the image of the prince who had worked hard for many years was ruined like this, and he didn't understand why the master still defended the prince so much, for fear that he would have hatred for the prince.

Xia Yibai said with a smile: "I can understand the prince's approach, and I can also understand your master's approach." ”

To put it bluntly, the prince thought that the secret guards around him were absolutely loyal to him, and he learned that what they had been hiding from him was what he cared about the most, so he felt betrayed and angry.

However, the premise of this is that he trusts them, which is why he is so angry!

The master of the shadow understands this and knows the truth of the deep responsibility of love, so he also feels guilty in his heart. thinks that even if the code of secret guards is stipulated, he should tell the prince, after all, the prince trusts them so much!

If you don't say it, you will betray the trust of the prince, and if you say it, you will violate the code of the secret guard!

Although Shadow's master chose to abide by the code and be a qualified secret guard, he was still emotionally biased towards the prince.

I don't want the best apprentice to be estranged from the prince in the future because of himself.

I have to say that at this point, the prince's true temperament is just right.

The prince came to Xia Yibai at night, and he really couldn't face his father.

"You say, why did he do this to my own mother?" The prince was so depressed that he was about to go crazy, and he actually complained to Xia Yibai about his suffering.

Xia Yibai poured a glass of wine for the prince and drank tea by himself.

"Your Highness doesn't understand," Xia Yibai said with a smile: "The grass people still think that Your Highness understands best." ”

"What do I understand?"

"Love but can't... Loving someone but not being able to give her a sense of powerlessness to be safe! Love someone but can only watch her grow old, sad! ”

The prince was suddenly said to the sore spot.

"He is already the Son of Heaven, who can't protect him?"

"Your Highness knows your aunt's character very well, Your Highness thinks she can be in the harem. Will it survive? You also know now that the emperor doesn't interfere too much in the harem, your mother is on the throne with that kind of character, and she is still struggling all these years, if your biological mother is in the harem, how long can she live? ”

Xia Yibai's question hit the heart directly, and the prince was stupid.

"What's more, with such a prince as His Royal Highness at that time, can she survive until now?"

Xia Yibai asked, the prince was dumbfounded, and took a sip of wine.

He found a new breakthrough: "Then he shouldn't have provoked my mother!" ”

Xia Yibai smiled and said nothing, looking at the prince quietly.

After a while, the prince suddenly remembered how he persecuted Liu Ye, so he glanced at Xia Yibai.

Xia Yibai didn't make it clear, this kind of thing was best for him to figure it out by himself, otherwise their efforts would all be in vain.

The prince was finally struck by lightning, and it was so difficult to accept that it was because of himself. Isn't this the double standard that Liu Ye mentioned!

"I see! I see, what you mean, I know what you mean! The prince said nonsense, "I'll change it, I finally understand!" What you can't love, what you can't protect! You should let go at the beginning, this is the best love, the most perfect protection! Is that right? ”

He still shed tears after all!
