A small porcelain box the size of a palm is broken all over the ground.

The red rouge contained in it is also fragmented, like a peony that has been trampled on.

Xue Ling stared at the little boy, and as he grew up, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more like Yuan Xiao.

She hates it!

She suddenly slapped him hard!

"What I don't have the eye to see, this kind of shoddy rouge, is also worthy of being held by Baba as a birthday gift for me?!" She was cold and cruel, "Take your, get out of here!" ”

The little guy's white and tender little face gradually became red, swollen and bruised.

He crouched on the ground and lowered his head to pick up his rouge.

The thin piece of porcelain cut his hand, and the blood oozed out, but he didn't realize it.

He never shed a tear.

Because he knows that no matter how much he sheds tears, no one will feel distressed.

And Xue Ling never wanted to see him again, and the four-year-old child was sent by her to live alone in Mingde Courtyard.

She doesn't care that others bully him, she wishes there were more people bullying him.

She can't wait for him to die early!

The grass and trees of Mingde Courtyard are scattered, broken and ruined, and dilapidated.

The house was covered with cobwebs and dust, moss, dark and damp.

Four-year-old Xiao Tingchen sat on the steps.

He crossed his knees and looked up at the gray sky.

The beautiful peach blossom eyes are no longer bright, only the bottomless darkness remains.

After a long time, he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled.

Evil spirits are rampant, like demons.

……

Dali Temple Water Prison.

Xiao Tingchen was thrown by the jailer by the fire.

He was weak, unkempt and covered in blood, and looked like a defeated dog.

"Xiao Tingchen......" Su Jiu wanted to rush forward, but was dragged by Rong Zheng's arm.

He handed her over to the jailer, turned around and walked towards Xiao Tingchen, his voice was extremely cold, "Xiao Tingchen, tell me the whereabouts of the talisman, and this official will exempt you from punishment." ”

He squatted down in front of Xiao Tingchen, grabbed his long hair, and forced him to raise his head, "You don't want this face to leave an indelible shame and scar, right?" ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled and looked directly at Rong Zheng, "If you have any means, just use it." ”

"Xiao Tingchen!"

Su Jiu couldn't help crying.

She wanted to tell him the whereabouts of the talisman, but she didn't dare.

She knew that this man was stubborn in his bones, and if she said it, he would hate her for the rest of his life.

Hell knows what he's calculating!

Rong Zheng stood up unhurriedly.

He rummaged left and right among the soldering irons, "What word is best for you, slave, robbery, matching, stealing...... Well, the official thinks that this word is the most suitable for you. ”

He grabbed the handle and took out a burnt iron.

The light and shadow of the water dungeon were dim, and Su Jiu could clearly see that the fire on the soldering iron was splashing, and the word "thief" was engraved in a official book.

"Don't ......"

Tears welled up as she shook her head desperately.

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, coveting the throne, is for the thief of the country." Rong Zheng smiled brightly, "What else suits you better than this word?" ”

Su Jiu struggled hard, "Don't ...... Rong Zheng, stop, stop! ”

She screamed, but the jailer held on to her, not letting her get closer!

Two jailers pinned Xiao Tingchen to the ground.

Rong Zheng lifted the robe and squatted down indifferently in front of him.

He grabbed Xiao Tingchen's long hair and forced him to raise his head high.

The eyes are facing each other.

He saw that Xiao Tingchen was still smiling, laughing presumptuously and merryly.

He raised an eyebrow, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Don't you dare to kill me...... laugh" Xiao Tingchen licked his thin lips arrogantly, "Rong Zheng, you don't dare to kill me, Taishi Zhao doesn't dare to kill me, no one in Daqi dares to kill me!" Because you already know my life experience, you know that I, Xiao Tingchen, am the prince! You blamed Jin Xuanyin's death on my head, just so that the King of Beiliang could deal with me. The emperor is afraid that Bei Liang and the other countries will join forces to deal with Daqi, and for the sake of the overall situation, he will definitely hand me over to Bei Liang to deal with. In this way, you are tantamount to killing with a sword. ”

Rong Zheng nodded approvingly, "Good analysis." People in the noble family know that the first crown princess has a great weight in the emperor's heart, and you are his and her flesh and blood. So your status in the emperor's heart is indeed different from that of other princes. I can't kill you, because the emperor will definitely avenge you. But so what, although I can't take your life, it's okay to humiliate you, just as you humiliated me back then. Xiao Tingchen, who was a great grace back then, Rong was unforgettable. ”

He clearly remembered how Xiao Tingchen took away his champion position because of his appearance in the palace examination.

also clearly remembers how he was framed by Xiao Tingchen and abandoned his official position.

I remember even more that the Rong family suffered at the hands of Xiao Tingchen!

Bit by bit, toothless and unforgettable!

Rong Zheng's face was cruel, and he suddenly put the red-flushed soldering iron against Xiao Tingchen's cheek!

The sound of scorched flesh permeated the entire water prison.

Su Jiu closed his eyes with difficulty.

Tears rolled down, but I couldn't cry anymore.

Rong Zheng threw away the soldering iron, took the ink and brush from the jailer's hand, and casually sketched the soldering words on Xiao Tingchen's cheek.

One stroke at a time, extremely carefully.

After sketching, he smiled and got up, "I'll find the talismans of the Shenwu Camp and the Praetorian Guard." Xiao Tingchen, you have already lost this game of power. ”

He strode out of the water prison.

The jailer finally let go of Su Jiu.

Su Jiu ran to the fire and sat on his knees, wanting to caress the man's cheek, but his fingertips trembled in mid-air, and he didn't dare to touch his skin no matter what.

Her man, such a proud man, was actually branded on his face by Rong Zheng!

This is even more shameful than flogging!

Xiao Tingchen sat up cross-legged.

He didn't seem to feel any pain at all, he still bent his peach blossom eyes, smiling and watching Su Jiu shed tears.

The little girl is petite and slender, like a thin hibiscus flower, and her appearance of crying aggrieved is really pitiful.

He stretched out his hand and wiped her tears, "I have endured a thousand times more pain than the torture, and this pain is really nothing. Sister, don't look at me covered in injuries, when I go out, I can continue to be alive and kicking again after a day or two. ”

Su Jiu's little face was crumpled.

With a crying voice, she wanted to beat him, but when she saw his wounds all over his body, she forcibly withdrew her hand.

She covered her eyes, still crying hard, "It's good to die here, you can't save it, and you have to cause me trouble!" ”

Xiao Tingchen moved to her like a dog, bowed his head and kissed her face, "I see that my sister has cleared up a little more, and she must not have eaten well in the past few days." ”

The tone is inexplicably spoiled.

Su Jiu pouted, took out the flower pastry he bought, and fed him little by little.

Xiao Tingchen refused to eat alone, he was willing to take another bite until she took a bite.

"Although I have the handle to deal with Yuan Min, no one in the court is willing to pass on the word for me." Su Jiu opened the cowhide kettle he carried with him and fed him a sip of water, "I went to see your mother, and she refused to help you...... Xiao Tingchen, how bad is your popularity? ”

At the mention of Xue Ling, the smile on Xiao Tingchen's face faded.

Su Jiu immediately diverted the topic, "What should I do now?" What the hell do I have to do to get you out? ”

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows in disgust, "The talisman is given to you, Tianshu is given to you, the handle is also given to you, I myself took the initiative to enter the prison as bait, all the roads have been paved for my sister, how can my sister be stupid enough to ask me again?" ”

Su Jiu blushed when he scolded him.

"Leave it to me!"

She walked out angrily.

walked to the door of the prison and turned to look at him again, "Xiao Tingchen." ”

"What?"

"Why aren't you crying?"

He didn't cry when he was tortured, he didn't cry when he was whipped, and he didn't cry when he was devoured by Gu worms.

How can a person be so strong?

Xiao Tingchen sat cross-legged, the fire that was clearly extinguished shrouded him, although his face was still demonic, but the ink-colored word "thief" on his cheeks was particularly dazzling.

He thought about it for a while, and it was rare to be serious, "I don't have the right to cry." ”

Since he was a child, he knew that even if he cried heartbreakingly, no one would feel sorry for him, let alone help him.

Tears were abandoned by him a long time ago when he was four years old.
