Chapter 37: Arrogance
"Xiaorun, do you know Concubine Liu?" Chenguang didn't notice Shen Run's strange emotions and asked.
Shen Run lowered his head, glanced at her coldly, took a step, and said as he walked forward:
"I don't know, Concubine Liu was brought back from outside the palace by the emperor, her origin is unknown, she has no relatives, and she only has two maids with her, and it is said in the palace that she is not from Longxi Country, and she may have escaped from Beiyue Kingdom. Concubine Liu is beautiful, unmatched in the harem, the emperor favored her for three years, and in the third year, she was executed by the emperor Ling Chi. ”
Shen Run was absent-minded when he said it, he was not interested in the affairs of the harem, and he was under the fence of Chengxi Palace that year, Xia Guifei was very temperamental in those years, and it was not a good memory for him.
As he spoke, Chenguang kept pulling his sleeve to prevent him from walking too fast, and followed him with small steps, Shen Run didn't shake her off, and after a pause, he added:
"Just listen to this, don't mention it again, Concubine Liu's matter is still a taboo in the emperor's heart, as long as it is touched a little, it will be terrible."
Chenguang nodded.
The two came to the Suzaku Gate and were walking towards the gate of the palace, at this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped in from outside the palace, the guards were almost broken by the fierce horse, and even the guards guarding the door made a commotion, but the people on the horse did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and rushed towards Shen Run and Chenguang, that posture definitely wanted to step on the two of them.
Fortunately, Shen Run hugged Chenguang's waist and dodged to the side of the road in time, otherwise Chenguang would definitely be trampled into a meatloaf.
Shen Run's eyes were gloomy, who else could it be that he dared to commit murder in the palace except for His Royal Highness the Prince, who was favored and domineering?
"Yo ho, which dog is blocking the way in this palace, it turned out to be you." The crown prince Shen Huai reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, walked back leisurely, and said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince," Shen Run saluted according to the rules of the elders and young, and said unhurriedly, "Although I don't know which one of them annoyed you, His Royal Highness the Prince, as a prince, should also sober his mind when scolding, I am a sibling with His Royal Highness, even if His Highness is angry, he doesn't have to scold himself in a corner." ”
Chenguang was shrinking in the corner behind Shen Run, Huo Wu and Si Qi hung their heads and shoulders, and when they heard this, their panicked expressions almost broke their skills, is his mouth quite powerful.
The crown prince Shen Huai has just passed the weak crown, like a dog-headed eagle that eats scavengers, both his eyes and the feeling he brings to people are like a dog-headed eagle. As the saying goes, looks are born from the heart, and over time, even his handsome appearance is automatically changed when he falls into the eyes of people because of the feeling he brings.
This man was like a handsome dog-headed eagle.
And in addition to being impulsive and irritable, the crown prince doesn't seem to be very smart, Shen Run's words Shen Huai thought about it for a long time before he understood it, and then raised his whip with a blue face, coerced the thick and powerful Xuan force, and smashed it down at Shen Run's head and face!
The mystical power of the three-layer martial god, which is very outstanding among the royal family of the same age.
Chenguang finally understood why Shen Huai hated Shen Run so much at this time, the two of them had obviously grown up together, and their relationship was not intimate, but rather like they didn't share the sky.
Shen Run easily grabbed the corner of Shen Huai's horsewhip, and then Shen Huai couldn't pull it back.
Whether it is brain or force, Shen Run is far above Shen Huai, no wonder Shen Huai hates him so much.
"Even if it is in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be more restrained, the people of the Supervision Department are idle, and the Emperor's Dan furnace is about to come out, at this time, if it is a few ginseng books by the Supervision Department, even if it is His Royal Highness the Prince, it will not taste good." Shen Run said slowly.
Shen Huai glared at him viciously, eager to tear him apart on the spot, it looked like a ...... Dog-headed eagle.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince! The little eunuch of the Longevity Palace ran over from a distance, directly ignored the imminent atmosphere of the scene, knelt down, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty urgently summons His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the Longevity Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go quickly!" ”
The word "urgent call" came into his ears, Shen Huai's irritable mood suddenly became more relaxed, he glanced at Shen Run with showing off eyes, even if Shen Run was excellent, what could he do, his Shen Huai's mother was the highest-ranking woman in the harem, but Shen Run's mother was long gone; Even if Shen Run is liked by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, what can he do, his father doesn't like him, and the son that his father likes is always him, the prince.
The whip was withdrawn, Shen Huai glanced at Shen Run contemptuously, and sneered, "Let you go today!" ”
Turning the horse's head, he walked proudly towards the Palace of Longevity.
Shen Run looked at his arrogant back, his face sank like water, after a long time, he sorted out his thoughts, turned around, looked at the morning light that was at a loss and shrunk into a ball, walked over, and asked softly:
"Scared?"
Calming down, Chenguang shook his head and smiled innocently:
"No, my eldest brother was like this before, he had a very bad temper, and he even abolished one of my third brother's hands......"
She grabbed him by the sleeve and followed him out of the palace gate, and then added slowly:
"Then he died."
Shen Run's heart skipped a slight beat, knowing that she was just telling the truth, but his heart full of hatred suddenly thought at this moment, this was a good idea.
He laughed.
"How did your eldest brother die?"
"Killed by a blood bat."
"Blood bats?"
"There is a kind of bat in the Phoenix Kingdom that lives by sucking blood, and if you bite someone, you will be poisoned to death."
Shen Run nodded.
"Little Run, Little Run," Chenguang tugged at his sleeve and smiled, "Prince, how can he ......," she said on tiptoe in his ear, "looks like a dog's head eagle." ”
Shen Run was stunned, he didn't find it before, hearing her say this, think about it carefully, it's really quite similar, he burst out laughing.
The morning light is overjoyed.
Shen Run reprimanded her with a stiff face: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
But he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Chenguang smiled and tugged at his sleeve, and he led her out of the Suzaku Gate and back to the Rongwang Mansion.
……
The black moon is cold, and the north wind is howling.
The silent hilltop could not even hear the chirping of the night birds, and the rugged cliffs were filled with thorns, long dark grass, and withered yellow trees.
In front of the steep cliff, a tomb stands quietly, facing the frozen waterfall opposite, and under the cliff, there is a beautiful canyon.
The man in black and the man with his head standing motionless in front of the grave, because he covered his face, he couldn't see his appearance or expression, he could only see his slightly rickety back, old and desolate, his age should not be young.
The man stood in front of the grave, I don't know how long, another fierce wind blew from behind, the man seemed to sense something, his body suddenly tensed, he turned his head suddenly, and his slightly stunned eyes met the eyes of the girl standing on the side of the thousand-year-old tree that was as cold as an ice spring.
