Refusal to return with relatives (6)
Refusal to return with relatives (6)
But did he do it right?
Emperor Qi looked at Yu Chen, who was shrunk with tears in his eyes, thin as a cat, trembling, walking on thin ice, this is his and Lu'er's child.
But what did his heart do?
Needless speculation, useless suspicion, in the face of the conclusive betrayal of another son, he suddenly realized that the child in front of him, whose face was covered with blood flowing from kowtow and was weak and cautious, was his and Lu'er's child.
This child, who had just returned from a foreign country, had suffered all the torture and suffering in a foreign country, and thought that he had returned to his home, returned to his father, who loved him, and had a father who regarded himself like a jewel and cherished him.
The detention and walking on thin ice that had been cultivated for a long time finally melted away in these dream-like beautiful circumstances, but because of a mistake, the loving father suddenly became extremely cold.
He was flustered and didn't know what to do, obviously the brothers around him were very malicious to him, and he didn't care at all, and he was still pleading for his brothers who had never met a few times and didn't have a bit of brotherly affection.
It's just that because I've never felt family affection in a foreign country, I cherish everything that is hard-won in front of me. Even for his brother who has always treated him maliciously, he is so compromised and cherished.
This cautious child was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, and he had happily hugged Yu Chen, who had been in swaddling clothes. In the end, this child whom he once vowed to love the most, but in the more than ten years of walking on thin ice, he has developed a temperament of being submissive and not daring to do everything easily, longing but lacking love, and no one is sincere with him in the predicament.
Emperor Qi's hands trembled a little, and Yu Chen's eyes were moist, like a wounded little beast, looking directly at Emperor Qi.
There is also some backlash and fear.
Emperor Qi's hand was on Yu Chen's shoulder, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but said,
"Little Wu, get up."
Yu Chen lowered his eyes and choked up,
"Father... Emperor. โ
Emperor Qi took a deep breath,
"Your second brother is already an unforgivable sin, don't intercede for him anymore, I will ground him for a while."
"It's just that the fief in his hand, after he is grounded, will be... There will be no leader, you will take over, can you manage it? โ
Yu Chen raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief,
"Father?"
Emperor Qi's eyes were suppressed with guilt and belated love,
"Would you like to?"
Yu Chen suddenly knelt down again,
"Erchen is willing."
The waiter's expression became deeper and deeper when he looked at Yu Chen, this Fifth Highness, the future future must be immeasurable.
Emperor Qi patted Yu Chen's shoulder, his cloudy eyes flashed with the luster of reminiscing about the past,
"You...... Have you ever visited the mausoleum of the concubine? โ
Yu Chen choked up and snorted,
"When I first came back, I went to see my mother, who was lying alone in such a cold and deserted mausoleum, which was really miserable."
"Erchen only hates that he didn't come back earlier, and he came back to accompany his mother and concubine, even if it was just one more day."
Emperor Qi was moved,
"Your mother suffered too much during her lifetime, and I am sorry for her, you ......"
Emperor Qi was silent for a moment, and finally he was just saying,
"If you can, stay with her more."
Yu Chen choked and said,
"The son-in-law must accompany his mother more."
Yu Chen retreated, and Emperor Qi sat on the top of the main hall, silent for a long time, looking ahead, but he was distracted.
The chamberlain called out cautiously,
"Your Majesty?"
Emperor Qi returned to his senses, and in an instant he changed back to that majestic appearance,
"What?"
The waiter holds the tea,
"The slave heard that the Fifth Highness often cries alone in front of the mausoleum, and sometimes talks to himself to the mausoleum of Concubine Li, saying that he is not filial and failed to come back early, it is said that when the Fifth Highness saw the mausoleum of Concubine Li for the first time, he knelt down with a puff, and knelt until the second day before being pulled up by others, with a high fever that did not go away, muttering about the mother concubine in his mouth, and constantly blaming himself."
Later, he also cleaned and repaired Concubine Li's mausoleum with his own hands. On the day Your Majesty scolded Your Highness, Your Highness knelt in front of Concubine Li's tomb all night, crying that you distracted Your Majesty, delayed the military aircraft, and did something wrong, which made Your Majesty dislike, so you blame yourself. โ
"I went back with red eyes on the second day, and I got seriously ill when I went back, but His Majesty didn't care about the Fifth Highness during that time, if it weren't for the fact that the Fifth Highness hurried over today and forcibly broke into the palace to excuse the Second Highness, you are afraid that you still don't want to see him."
Emperor Qi rolled his eyes,
"What do you want to say?"
The chamberlain knelt down and said,
"Old slave courage, I beg Your Majesty to have more mercy and pity on the Fifth Highness."
"Your Highness the Fifth Highness left home when he was young, and he has never had relatives and friends by his side, you and His Highness are the closest relatives of the Fifth Highness, except for you, no one can rely on the Fifth Highness, Your Majesty, you are the only person that the Fifth Highness can trust."
Emperor Qi's compassion moved again, although he was looking at the scene in front of him, the guilt in his eyes was heavier, Yu Chen's weak and slender appearance reappeared in front of him, he seemed to see Yu Chen's timid and longing eyes when he returned to the palace for the first time.
Calling his father, the tears in the child's eyes trembled.
When Emperor Qi thought about it now, he suddenly understood what those were all about.
That obvious woodenness and excitement, joy and caution, in such a pair of eyes, in such tears, how can it be faked?
He uses that child as a tool to spark competition among other children and to consolidate his rule.
He also sees the child as an ornament that does not require emotional investment, and is hypocritical and aggrieved, always doubting the purpose of all the child's actions.
But that child, who is so innocent, so kind, can desperately beg for a brother who is not like a relative at all, how can he collude with the enemy country to persecute the family affection he has longed for for many years, and hurt the homeland that he wants to return to?
His joy and anger were all seen by the child, and his hypocrisy and grievances towards the child were all regarded as treasures in the eyes of the child, and he was careful to collect them.
However, that child was innocent.
Why did he suspect that the child would collude with the enemy country because he had not returned to his homeland for a long time and was dissatisfied?
Now it seems that these thoughts and doubts are so unsettling to him.
Emperor Qi is like sitting on pins and needles, once the child's heart is cold, if he decides that he will not be truly loved, he will put away his heart from now on, and dare not expose it again. What should he do?
The only thing the child could believe in was a cold grave, to talk to that grave, to talk to that cold tombstone.
All this echoed in Emperor Qi's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
Faced with the second son's conclusive evidence but only grounded, the child had no evidence and only wanted to serve his father, but was treated so coldly, Emperor Qi only felt guilty.
Faced with this child he had been looking forward to for a long time, he actually made such a decision, how could he be worthy of Lu'er, worthy of Lu'er's death to save him before his death?
Looking at Emperor Qi's expression that changed again and again, he couldn't bear it, he was sad, and there were even a few tears in his eyes.
The chamberlain lowered his eyes, took the tray and went down.
It doesn't matter if what he said is really true or not, as long as His Majesty can feel guilty about the Fifth Highness, and the Fifth Highness can remember him a little better.
His Royal Highness the Fifth is so well-informed, when His Majesty is just about to deal with the affairs of the Second Highness, he can rush into the palace, seize the time, and let the Second Highness fall into the abyss with a gesture of pleading.
The attendant raised his eyes and glanced around the hall, and found that the eyes of several small palace people in the hall were all red, obviously crying sadly.
The chamberlain looked down with the eyes of the little palace people and saw the blood stains left by Yu Chen's kowtow on the floor.
The eyes of the waiter turned around in their sockets, these little palace people were sad about the matter of kowtowing to the Fifth Highness and hurting themselves?
The chamberlain suddenly understood.
When His Royal Highness returned to China, he had no support, no help, and no channels or people to help him pave the way.
I heard these little girls secretly discuss the Five Highnesses before, saying that the posture of the Five Highnesses is immortal, gentle and understanding.
At that time, he only thought that a few palace daughters were delusional, dreaming in the daytime, and did not take it to heart.
But if you don't make contact, how do you know that the Fifth Highness is empathetic?
Is it possible that these palace daughters are because they love the Five Highnesses and voluntarily become the five highnesses' meticulous works to report the news for the five highnesses?
The wind blew in from the unclosed door of the hall, and the chamberlain shivered.
is so thoughtful, even if he doesn't have a little resources and reliance, he can come out of his own way.
It is by no means ordinary.
The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and the dragon changes when it encounters the wind and clouds.
The time has passed, and now it's time for this dragon to transform.
The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to close the door of the main hall with light hands and feet, and the palace man with the lamp lit the lamp, and the chamberlain felt that he was worried for a moment.
After three dynasties, he was able to follow the next emperor in each dynasty, relying on luck never by luck, it seems that this next dynasty, if he has a life to enjoy, it is very likely that he will be able to follow the dragon's power and sit on the head of the inner court.
Yu Chen rode the carriage, wrinkled his nose twice, whimpered a few times, and the people who followed the carriage kept comforting him, before he wiped away his tears, his face was obviously resolute, but because he was too thin and a little feminine, with some morbid handsomeness.
There is also a bit of sickly gloom in his eyes, holding a handkerchief, I don't know what to think.
Coachman's Road,
"Your Highness, it's here."
Yu Chen wiped the blood from his forehead with a handkerchief, put the handkerchief in the teapot of the carriage, and the handkerchief melted into the tea with thick blood. All of a sudden, it turned red.
Yu Chen lifted the curtain and got out of the car, with the usual warmth in his eyes. In the eyes of others, it is more like being sad and unable to help himself, but forcibly pretending to be nothing.
Refusal to return to relatives (7)
When Yu Chen entered the mansion, everyone along the way was flustered, hurriedly cleaning up the broken porcelain and the carpet where tea had been dumped.
Seeing him, he just hurriedly saluted and said to His Royal Highness Wan An.
There was a sound of scolding in the room,
"Do you all think that this king is easy to bully, and that your father must not respect this king, so you use such a method to send this king?"
Then there was the sound of porcelain breaking, accompanied by the slave's plea for mercy.
Yu Chen pushed the door, and the second prince stood in the middle of the house, with overturned meals all over the floor.
The second prince looked at Yu Chen, who was standing outside the door, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Yu Chen's collar like a lit cannon
"It's you!"
"It was you who instigated me to draw on the embattled and lure the enemy army out, it was you who deliberately wanted to harm me, the person who colluded with the enemy army, it was you, not me!"
The second prince's saliva splashed everywhere, he didn't care about any demeanor at all, his bloodthirsty eyes were almost about to kill, he grabbed Yu Chen's collar, and desperately grabbed it,
"It was you who told me that the fireworks in Chang'an are extremely special, the colors are extremely gorgeous, and you can know that they are owned by Chang'an at first sight, which can make those Great Zhou soldiers feel homesick and lead those Great Zhou soldiers out."
"You set a trap to harm me, you don't know where you come from, I want you to die a good death!"
Yu Chen's eyes were pitiful, and a pair of clear eyes were extremely aggrieved,
"Second brother, how can you say that, I understand the pain of your failure to make meritorious contributions and being treated as a thief, but you can't put these charges on me for such a reason."
Yu Chen coughed a few times, as if he was about to be strangled to death by the second prince, his face was pale, and the red and purple on his forehead were even more terrifying.
"Second brother, I begged for you in front of my father, knowing that the second brother may not be innocent, but I treat each other sincerely, I just want to protect the second brother, and now in order to get out of danger, the second brother now regards me as a scapegoat who was the first to visit the second brother, and wants me to bear the responsibility for this crime for you, and carry these black pots, second brother, won't you have half of the unbearable?"
Yu Chen and his entourage shed tears,
"Second brother, how can you do this to me."
"I treat you as my own brother and love you as my dear relative, but second brother, you are so disappointed in me like this, Xiao Wu."
The second prince grabbed Yu Chen's collar tightly, lifted him off the ground, and roared angrily,
"You tell this king again, and you set up the blame again!"
Yu Chen just kept crying and didn't speak again.
Yu Chen's eyes closed slowly, and his face was as white as paper. Those palace people who followed Yu Chen were shocked, and they suffered, if something happened to His Royal Highness, how would they explain to His Majesty? Although His Majesty only asked them to monitor the Five Highnesses, if something happened to the Five Highnesses, they would definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
A group of palace people hurriedly went up to pull away the second prince and exclaimed,
"Fifth Highness!"
"Fifth Highness!"
Yu Chen closed his eyes and was not angry.
