Chapter 40: Chestnuts in the Fire
When the Yuwen family was exterminated, he was only five years old, and the full moon gift given to him by his father, King Donghu, was the entire Donghu, and he was made the prince when he was still a baby.
A five-year-old child, how innocent, but because he is the prince, the only way after the destruction of the country is to die.
His mother is a famous beauty of the Yuwen family, the lord of the mountain amber, the Yuwen family is in love, from beginning to end, she is the only one in the harem of King Donghu, and because of this, the heirs of the Yuwen royal family are thin.
Except for an older sister who died young, the Yuwen royal family has only one child left, and he is a noble and lonely child.
The pain of the country's breaking, there were no brothers and sisters to share with him, so he had to stand with adults to face the storm.
Her father was beheaded to defend the city, and his head was taken down by the new king of Donghu, so as to blackmail the lord of the mountain and amber, her beauty alarmed the entire Donghu, the mother of the country of Donghu, and now she has become a prisoner of the order, but the new king did not abuse her, he wanted her to become the new queen, looked at the head of her husband in his hand, and then turned to look at his young son who did not know the world, between the trade-offs, she respectfully bowed at his feet and became his queen.
He didn't like this child, no man could tolerate his wife having someone else's child by her side, he forced himself to accept it, but he couldn't deceive his own heart, and when he saw that child, he couldn't help but want to kill him.
Originally, the entire Donghu would be prostrate at the feet of Yuwen Zhonghong, but now the people in the palace will no longer kneel down in front of him and shout His Royal Highness the Prince, and the people of the previous dynasty can't wait to stay away from him, as if they never knew this child, he is a disaster and a shame.
Her mother grabbed him and asked him to call the new king his father, Yuwen Zhonghong shook off her hand, "This palace is Yuwen's family, how can you recognize a thief as a father!" ”
He didn't know that it was that sentence that forced his mother to death, and the next day, his mother tied herself to the palace and wrote a suicide note before she died, hoping that His Majesty would treat the last child of the Yuwen royal family well.
He is an orphan of the previous dynasty, a thorn pierced in the heart of King Donghu.
He was wondering what to do with the child.
Yuwen Zhonghong lingered outside his mother's hall for a long time, he still couldn't understand why his mother left him behind, and he didn't know what death was, he only knew that since then, he no longer had a mother, and no one embraced him in his arms.
He crouched in front of the kid, "Do you think I should kill you?" ”
Yuwen Zhonghong turned his back and told him firmly, "If you don't kill this palace, one day, I will take the world in my hands, pierce your chest with the sharpest sword in the world, and pay tribute to my father and mother with your blood." ”
King Donghu laughed, "What a person who holds the world in his hands!" If that day comes, I will wait for you to take my life. ”
He didn't kill the child, but left the child in the palace and ate with his own child, but he didn't think he owed the child, the country is a toy for the capable, and the incompetent are naturally at the feet of the emperor.
It was the child's coldness and arrogance that moved him, and he had the imperial aura of the Yuwen family, which he had never seen in the children of the Yushi family.
If someone bullies him and insults him, he will not tolerate it.
Once, the rain master sang a song to let his mother's jade jue hang on the lake of Fanghui, asking him to take chestnuts from the fire, if he refused, he would shoot the jade jue into the lake with an arrow, so that he could no longer find the last object left by his mother.
He finally lowered his head, put his hand into the fire, and took out the chestnuts under the charcoal fire, a small hand, which was burned black, and the red flesh mixed with the black skin, slowly bleeding outward.
Yushi Chengge didn't expect that he would not be forgiving, and simply put his hand into it neatly.
He almost crushed the chestnut, "Here you go, return the jade jue to me now." ”
Master Yu Chengge was the same age as him, he had never seen such a stubborn and arrogant child, he was gloomy at that time, and no one saw a smile on his face.
The rain master sang and said, "Give me a smile, and I will give it to you." ”
Yuwen Zhonghong threw the chestnut in his hand in his face, beat him hard, and beat him until his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
The child next to him blocked, Yuwen Zhonghong raised his fist, "Whoever dares to stop me, I will strangle whose neck!" ”
The children were too frightened to move forward, and in the end, Yuwenlu pulled him away, "Kill him, your Yujue will be gone, and your life will be gone." ”
He returned the jade jue to him, "Take it well, precious things can't be left casually." ”
The two incompatible, incompatible children, later became siblings, I secretly marveled at Bo Duange's measurement, if Yushi Chengge dared to bully me like this, I would never be friends with him.
There should be a lot going on in this.
The next day I was about to go back, just in time for Boduange to come back, and as soon as I had cleaned my hands and dried them on the square white silk cloth, I took the clothes he threw at me, and he was changing his robe, and he did not avoid me.
The sleeve was half stretched out and stuck in the middle, and the surrounding maids were all sent out of the room by him, I walked a few steps closer to help him change his clothes, and asked, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”
"Grandma Huang is fine, she is so naughty that she wants to give us a few wild deer caught in the hunting ground a few days ago, and she is worried that we will not take them, so she uses her illness to gather us together."
I laughed out loud and helped him tighten the straps, "Raise your hand." ”
He raised his arm, "Have lunch in the mansion before leaving?" ”
"No, I didn't go back last night, and when I go back at this time, Sister Yi and His Royal Highness will count me down."
He tapped my bun, "No, I had someone do it." ”
"You've messed up my hair!" I won't let him touch my bun.
"yes, it's all messed up."
I leaned over to the mirror and said, "There's no mess." ”
He looked at me from behind me, I looked at him from the mirror, and we fell into the world inside the mirror, and it seemed to enter a very secret place, a very distant place.
I came back to my senses, "Then, I won't leave at noon, and later, Chun'er will wake up, and I will tease her before leaving." ”
"Okay, I'll send you back in a moment."
He said that the Queen Mother had brought him a large piece of the best venison, and that he had roasted it for me to eat at noon, and that I had waited in the garden in the backyard, and in a short time the stove was set up, and he had all the people gone, leaving me and him alone.
I cut the venison into slices and put it on a plate, and Boduange put charcoal in the stove while fanning the fire with a fan, and I turned my head and saw a book in his sleeve, but unfortunately I couldn't read the title.
"Enough heat, bring the meat."
I put the plate aside, take chopsticks to open the venison, the bright red venison, at first glance is the red meat that has not been blooded, the Donghu people are different from the Southern Wei people, they kill without blood, so as to retain the umami, but the Southern Wei people think that they do not let blood, the smell is heavier.
Boduang asked, "Do you see the grains of salt?" ”
"Nope." I shook my head.
"Maybe I forgot, I'll get it." He said.
The venison was gradually turned white by the charcoal fire, and I looked at the iron net on top of the charcoal fire, and suddenly put my hand on the red-hot grid, and Boduange grabbed my hand, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as my finger touched a piece of mesh, he ripped it back.
He flipped my hand open, "There are chopsticks, what are you doing touching them with your hands?" ”
I didn't speak, let him lead me into the sun, he looked at my fingers, I looked down at him, and saw that there were still marks on the back of his hand that I had bitten him, and there was a small pink scab that followed the lines of his palm, and the deep scar stung my eyes.
My brother and I were ostracized, but we were never seriously injured, and at best we were slapped in the face and kicked by a powerful lover.
"The net is all red, can't you see it?" He asked, holding my fingers.
I was so sad that I couldn't help it, "Doesn't it hurt to get out of the fire?" ”
His hand paused, "Who told you?" ”
"It's great that you're standing in front of me." I say.
