Thoughtful: Eight

As we get closer to Kyoto, the snow on the road decreases and the warm sun shines down, and the weather seems to get warmer.

Yousi originally thought it was interesting, so he rode a horse with Lian Shu in front, but the closer Lian Shu got to Kyoto, the more like a seventy or eighty-year-old old lady, kept telling her all kinds of things, and the sentence that often hung on her lips was, "That's a thing that wants to lose your head." ”

Listening to these words in Yousi's ears, it made Yousi feel that the world was dark, and when he arrived in Kyoto to breathe a breath of Kyoto air, it was a matter of losing his head, but fortunately, sitting back in the carriage, Zhao Zhao said little, and Yousi looked outside from time to time, and felt that the world was peaceful and peaceful.

After continuing to drive for half a day, their carriage and horses entered Kyoto, and the driver and Lian Shu seemed to be more familiar with the roads in Kyoto than in Yongzhou.

The city of Kyoto was bustling with activity, and the cars and horses slowed down after entering the city, and the wheels creaked and creaked through the streets for a long time before they stopped in front of a prefecture.

Yousi opened the curtain of the carriage, looked up at the three big characters "Jingwangfu" on the door plaque, turned back to Zhao Zhao and sighed: "You are really the emperor's son." ”

Zhao Zhao got out of the carriage, ignored Huisi's exclamation, and went straight into the mansion with the little guy who went out to greet him, and Lian Shu, who got off the horse on the side, heard this sentence and whispered in the past: "Otherwise, do you think that others call His Royal Highness the master for fun?" ”

Yousi muttered: "Is he His Highness, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Lian Shu whispered: "Girl, you, me, and the entire Jingwang Mansion, and many, many people, we are now in the same boat, do you understand the honor and disgrace?" ”

"Understood." Yousi looked at Zhao Zhao's back and analyzed: "If he has money, we will have money, and if he has no money, we will all be finished, isn't it." ”

"Uh~" Lian Shu thought for a while, "It seems to be the same thing." ”

Yousi looked up at the sunny sky in Kyoto, and said silently: "Then I must protect Your Highness well from today, when I enter this Kyoto, I always feel dull and dull, and it seems that there is a smell of conspiracy everywhere." ”

Lian Shu glanced at Yousi in surprise, and couldn't help but admire this casual nonsense in his heart.

Entering King Jing's mansion, you found that everything here is more rich and generous than the garden in Yongzhou, and the maids serving here are more beautiful and dignified than the moon in Yongzhou.

Yousi was still arranged to live in the cubicle of Zhao Zhao's bedroom, and Yousi came out at night, since he entered Kyoto, Zhao Zhao looked preoccupied, and now he has turned over twelve times on the bed, and it seems that he is still not asleep.

Thinking of Lian Shu's words of "sharing honor and disgrace", he was more concerned about Zhao Zhao from the bottom of his heart, got up and knocked on the wooden door that was cut off from Zhao Zhao, and called inside in a suppressed voice: "Master, master." ”

Zhao Zhao's movement of turning over stopped, but he didn't respond to her.

Yousi changed his title and called again: "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”

called twice in a row, but Zhao Zhao still ignored it.

So Yousi felt that a piece of kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Zhao." ”

The man on the other end seemed to have no patience and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When you heard this, she responded, and hurriedly said, "You can't sleep, do you need me to help you?" ”

Zhao Zhao was puzzled: "You? How can you help? ”

"Last year, the old beggar was very distressed for a while because he couldn't sleep, so I went and knocked him unconscious with a wooden stick, and he could sleep until the next day, would you like to try?"

"......" The main room was silent for a moment, as if he didn't want to be thoughtful, but he knew that if he didn't respond, he would be persistent to the end, so he said patiently: "No need." ”

"Shall I be lighter and not bleed?"

"No!"

"Don't you really try?"

There seemed to be a faint sound of gnashing of teeth from the other end, as if he was extremely holding back his anger, "I said it, no...... Use!"

Thoughtful muttered disdainfully: "If you don't use it, you don't need it, what are you doing with such a big anger." ”

Zhao Zhao in the main room was a little frustrated, sighed, and there was no more follow-up.

Thinking and dissatisfied, he returned to his bed to sleep, and after a while, the snoring was already earth-shattering, causing Zhao Zhao in the room to pick up a stick and knock Yousi unconscious, but this rough idea was only in his mind once, and he began to plan the complicated things in his heart again.

Early the next morning, before thinking about it, Zhao Zhao went out with Lian, and according to the waiting maid, he entered the palace.

Yousi looked at the big girl who was serving Zhao Zhao in the house here, her temperament was not as good as that of the Ruyue people in Yongzhou, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yousi occupying the position of her cubicle, and she didn't say anything, but when she saw Yousi, she either glared at her or squinted at her.

At the beginning, Yousi felt that it didn't matter, anyway, she couldn't die anyway, a woman's jealousy, but it proved that she was beautiful, but Yousi didn't speak, the big girl thought that Yousi was a bully, in addition to working her eyes, her mouth also began to say in a non-yin and non-yang manner, but after half a day's work, the people in the whole house knew that Yousi was a fox spirit who seduced Zhao Zhao, and she didn't know anything, relying on her own body to get on the throne and rob her territory.

It's not important to say that she is on top of her body, the important thing is how to say that she is a low-level demon like a fox spirit, this sentence is simply a smear on the head of her ancestors in the Styx, so Yousi jumped up and fought with the big girl, but the old beggar said that he wanted to be moral, and he couldn't kill people easily, and he also listened to Lian Shu's words, which showed that brazen killing is a matter of losing his head, so Yousi was kind, only scratched the girl's face and twisted one of her arms.

Originally, people wanted to wait for Zhao Zhao to come back to administer justice, but when they saw Zhao Zhao's face gloomy after returning from the palace, they had no time to take care of this matter, so they ordered someone to settle some silver, and sent the big girl away.

Since then, the people in the entire Jingwang Mansion have been polite when they look at Yousi, three points to please and seven points to be afraid, even the four-year-old child in the housekeeper's house was frightened and cried when he saw Yousi.

For a few days, Zhao Zhao went out early and returned late, and the sorrow between his eyebrows never seemed to be calm, and Yousi listened to Lian Shu's words into his ears, and did not linger too much on the streets of Kyoto, because Yousi found that there were not only princes and nobles who Lian Shu said here, but also many warlocks in the world.

Once, when Yousi was watching juggling on the side of the street, he noticed that a middle-aged man in the crowd had noticed her, and the man was holding a compass-like magic weapon in his hand, and he didn't seem to be very sure of her identity, so he squeezed through the crowd and came towards her.

Yousi deliberately avoided the man, not because she couldn't beat or was afraid of the man, but because she was afraid that the grass would startle the snake's nest. Now she is alone in the world, and has not yet found a way to return to the Styx, if she is exposed, like a rat crossing the street, she is chased and beaten by these monks, Taoists, mages and warlocks in the world, and it is estimated that she will not be able to escape to the deep mountains and old forests.

After going around in Kyoto City to get rid of the man, the night had gradually come up, and you thought about returning to King Jing's mansion, and the people in the mansion said that Zhao Zhao had not come out of the palace, and Uncle Lian had not sent a message back.

You Si thought that maybe something was delayed, so he ate dinner and waited in the cubicle.

As the night darkened, the low bells began to ring all over Kyoto, and the people of the house rushed back and forth, hurriedly removing all the brightly colored decorations under the porch and replacing them with white curtains.

The housekeeper in the house told Yousi that this was the voice of the national funeral, and he knocked nine times in a row, and it should be the death of His Majesty the Emperor, who had been seriously ill for many years.

Listening thoughtfully, there was no turmoil in my heart, but I was just a mortal, and death was death, which was not death in the end. But when he was about to go back to the house to sleep, he found that after the bell rang, he didn't feel sleepy.

Sitting in front of the door with her cheeks propped up, she looked at the starry sky with thoughts, thinking that when she was in the Styx, she had never seen the stars in the sky, and some old demon beasts would point to her the glowing sea fireflies, telling her that when she looked at it from a distance, the stars looked like that.

The Stygian Sea is cold and dark all year round, and there is never any bright color. In the years when the old beggar was there, she nested in a straw pile, as long as it was not a snowy winter, she felt that the world was still more likeable, so she thought that if she had money, she would not only buy good food and drink for the old beggar, but also buy a lot of things to bring back to the Styx, for the descendants of the Styx to taste and see.

You Si sometimes doesn't understand, why the other worlds want to seal them in the dark Styx, there are obviously so many good things in this world, why can the other worlds have them, but the demon beasts of the Stygian Sea can't have them for generations?

Some of the people in the clan who are highly cultivated have also tried their best to break out of the enchantment several times, maybe it is too difficult to find a habitat for them outside the Stygian Sea, and all the demon beasts that have broken out of the enchantment have not returned.

You Si knew that they didn't covet glory and wealth and forgot about the Styx, they just had no choice, and they couldn't go back.

When she was in the Styx, she was not very bold, and now she is alone, she can't do anything for the Styx, she just looks forward to one day going back, telling the little dolls about the outside world, and then letting the little dolls tell them about their future children, Yousi feels that this is all she can do.

Just thinking wildly, he heard a noisy footsteps approaching, and a guard-like person ran in covered in blood, and when he found Yousi, he said: "Girl, the emperor died, the palace was in chaos, King Jing encountered an ambush when he escaped from the palace, and Commander Lian also planned to get separated from the prince, he asked me to come back to you and save the prince!" ”

The little guard was still spitting blood from his mouth as he spoke, and some of the words were slurred, but he still understood them.

Standing up suddenly, he hurriedly asked, "In what direction?" ”

"The East Gate of the Imperial City." The little guard hurriedly replied, and when the words fell, there was no trace of thought in front of him.
