(a)

Pushing open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Rin looked dumbly at the layer of dust attached to his palm, and couldn't believe that in less than a year, this mansion could be dilapidated.

The grass and trees in the garden, Rong Qian was originally not very concerned about flowers and plants, but now the whole garden looks even more overgrown, and it is estimated that even if you drill into it, you can't find it. The corridor is covered with dead leaves, and you can hear a subtle cracking sound when you step on it, and the water in the pond is also glowing green, I don't know how long it has not flowed, only the lotus flower in the middle is luxuriant, and the arrows are soaring into the sky, and each one is waiting to be released.

With the memory of childhood, I walked through the cave door, passed by the water pavilion, and went straight to the door of the study. The slightly closed door knew that it was not locked at a glance, and he stretched out his hand to push it, and opened it in response, and in a trance, he seemed to see the man sitting at the desk and looking up and smiling at him: "Your Majesty, you are here again." ”

Stopped the call that blurted out, lowered his eyebrows and sighed, and stepped in with his feet raised.

The familiar furnishings have not changed in the slightest, even the paperweight inkstone on the desk is the same as the position in his memory.

Stroking these unusually familiar utensils, Yan Rin couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the beautiful old days, and they would never go back.

The pen and ink are at hand, you can use it with your hand, the net bottle is filled with water, poured out and grinds some ink, dips it in the white paper and writes the word "Rong", and suddenly feels a strange sense of disobedience.

All the utensils in this room are as good as new, and there is no sense of dilapidation elsewhere. The bookshelves, tables, chairs, and even the four treasures of the study are all clean and neat, ready for use at any time, and it is not at all like it has been idle for a year and a half.

Could it be ...... How often do people come here? That...... Could it be...... Could it be......

Yan Rin was shocked by a certain possibility, if ...... It's really him, so, what to do? Wait here? Yes...... Can you wait?

There was a "squeak" and the door opened.

Looking up in a panic, there was a girl in green by the door, who also looked up at him in panic, and the wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the water was spilled on the ground.

The girl looked at him in shock for a while before she came in and knelt down: "Slave Rongyin, see Your Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Do you know me?" Yan Rin was quite surprised.

"Yes...... The slave maid had seen His Majesty. ”

The voice trembled slightly, which was a normal reaction of civilians to see the face of heaven.

"Are you from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Slave maid...... used to be the rough maid of the Xiangye. ”

Think about it carefully, there is indeed such a girl who pours tea and water by Rong Xiang's side in his memory, but hasn't Rong Xiang already driven out all his subordinates......

"Why are you here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid are grateful for the kindness of the minister, and they dare not forget it every day...... Xiangye was convicted, and the slaves and maids couldn't help each other in life, and they couldn't accompany each other in death, so they could only tidy up the old things a little here, and hope that Xiangye would return one day......" said and choked up.

Yan Rin remembered that Rong Qian didn't have any family members who managed to visit him in prison, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "You are loyal." But where were you when he was convicted and imprisoned? ”

There was no answer for a long time, and it seemed that he could only see the girl lying on the ground and shivering, not knowing whether it was fear or shame.

Yan Rin felt bored and was about to drive her out, but she heard the girl's soft cry: "Slave maid...... Xiangye knew that a great disaster was coming, and he wanted to drive the slave and maid out, but the slave and maid were unwilling, so Xiangye ...... threw the slave and maid out, broke his muscles and bones, and was bedridden, and it was the former sister who told the slave and maid that the master was ...... message ......"

Yan Rin suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are that girl...... Don't you resent him when he breaks your bones? ”

The girl cried: "Xiangye drove the slave out only because he was afraid that the slave and maid would be implicated, and deliberately broke the slave and maid's muscles and bones because he was afraid that the slave and maid would do something stupid...... How can a slave be resentful? The slave and maid only hate...... I can't suffer for him, I can only guard this mansion, and hope that one day, Xiangye can come back to see ......"

Yan Rin was stunned, a little girl beside Rong Xiang could actually understand his hard work, why couldn't she see through it for many years? Is this just the word "stupid" to explain?

Suddenly feeling unbearable pain, Mu Ran waved his hand, "You go down first, I will stay here for a while, and I don't have to wait." ”

"Yes."

The girl wiped her tears, carefully packed up the things that had just fallen on the ground, and went out with the door closed.

Looking down at Yan Rin, who was in a daze with the word "Rong" on the white paper, he didn't notice that the girl looked up at him, and the fleeting ...... in her eyes Resentment.

—————————————————————————————————————

Since then, Yan Rin has been privately visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion, and although he has not stayed for a long time, sometimes only a quarter of an hour, he will definitely go. This seems to have become a habit, thinking that if you don't go over and walk around from time to time, you will lose something, a few days apart, and a long one more than a month. Although he knew that even if he went, he would not be able to find the person he wanted to see, but he still couldn't stop wanting to see; I know it's an extravagant hope, but I can't help but look forward to it, even though I know it will be disappointed every time.

At first, he didn't want anyone to disturb him, just stay quiet alone for a while, but occasionally when he met Rong Yin, he always inevitably greeted her, and after coming and going, he gradually became familiar with her, so he asked why he only cleaned the study and ignored other places.

Rong Yin said that the most common place for Xiang Ye to stay in this house is the study and the warm pavilion, when there are no visitors in the house on weekdays, most of the time is in the study, in addition to thinking about political affairs, is to read books. There are all kinds of books he loves most, astronomy and geography, erudition and miscellaneous conversations, ancient and modern, everything you need, if you come back and see this room of books dusty, you will not be happy, so you clean it every day, as for other places, there is not so much spare energy.

Yan Rin was stunned for a moment, and then realized what she meant when she said that she had no spare strength, and couldn't help asking, "Is there no one else in this mansion?" ”

"Yes, there is only one slave and maid in this house now. Others...... Xiangye has made all the arrangements, maybe he won't come back. ”

"You're alone...... How do you get by? Unconsciously, he had taken on a familiar tone.

Rong Yin bowed his head and said: "The slave maid washes and dries some clothes for people every day, and makes some female red, which is enough for daily use." ”

Yan Rin's face turned red, only to realize that she had been negligent, and took out a jade plate and handed it to her: "Don't do those rough jobs anymore, you take this to the inner mansion to withdraw some money and grain......"

Rong Yin saw that he hurriedly knelt down and excused himself: "The slave and maid will never dare to accept this reward, please take it back from the emperor." ”

didn't expect her to refuse, Yan Rin was very surprised: "You have worked hard, why don't you accept it?" Even if you take care of this house, you should always pay for it. Since Rong Xiang is not here, why can't I pay you for him? ”

Rong Yin didn't look up, still knelt on the ground and said: "The slave and maid received the great favor of the Xiangye, so that they could have this safe place, if it were not for the Xiangye, the slave and the maid would have starved to death on the street or sold into a prostitution house." The slave and maid I can't repay this favor as a slave and a maid, how dare I ask for wages? ”

Yan Rin frowned and said, "Why are you so unreasonable?" In the past, Rong Xiang was still there, and there would never be a bite of food for you in this house, but now you are the only one here, will anyone still think of you? ”

Rong Yin did not speak, but still lay on the ground motionless.

It was the first time for Yan Rin to see such a stubborn person who did not accept good intentions, and he couldn't help but cold his voice: "Are you resisting the decree?" ”

The body lying on the ground seemed to tremble, and suddenly she said: "The slave and maid are the people in the mansion of the criminal minister, and it is already grace for the emperor to let the slave and maid spend these days in vain, and now it is natural to punish them." ”

Yan Rin couldn't help but say loudly when she heard it: "What a criminal! Rong Xiang was clearly ......" The voice stopped abruptly, it turned out that he had never issued an edict to rehabilitate Rong Qian. Even if everyone in the court knew about the Dharma field, but the situation was dangerous that day, and then he declared to the public that Rong Qian needed to recuperate and refuse to meet guests, and no one has seen Rong Qian since then, so who dares to say more? Therefore, if people today still think that Rong Qian is a powerful minister and sinner who deceives the king, although this prime minister's mansion has not been seized, it is also an existence that makes people stay away.

There was a tingling in his heart, so he slowed down his tone: "Are you complaining that I didn't rehabilitate him?" I'll go back and draw up my intentions, can you accept it? ”

Rong Yin still didn't look up, but said: "Although the slave maid has not read poetry and books, she dare not forget the teachings of the Xiangye at any time." Xiangye once said that the monarch wants his ministers to die, and if he has this day, the emperor must have his own ideas, and he should turn a blind eye. ”

Yan Rin was shocked, the word "blind" smashed him dizzy, and the things that he never dared to think about were so simply said from the mouth of a little maidservant, only to feel a bitterness in his throat, he took two steps back in a daze, and said, "If it is...... What did I do wrong? Ruo Zhen said...... What about taking back the fate? ”

Rong Yin replied firmly: "Xiangye once said that you have no jokes. ”

Looking at Rong Yin who was kneeling on the ground, Yan Rin suddenly felt that she had lost the strength to speak, and it took a long time before she said, "You go down." ”

Rongxiang, Rongxiang, you want me to never look for you, do you?

Just, how is this possible? How can it be......

Looking around, there are traces of that man everywhere in this study. He knows that although Rong Qian is usually strict and upright, in fact, he is very open and afraid of trouble in private, and he likes to put the things he usually uses at hand, even if it is a little messy, it doesn't matter, and the books that he often likes to turn are also placed in the most conspicuous and easy place to take out. When I was a child, I once asked him, and he said that although it is necessary to be neat, it is not necessary to be too much, otherwise it will be reduced to a formality and hinder the right thing, but it will put the cart before the horse.

Thinking about it now, it is clear that he is making excuses for himself, but he can't find any mistakes. Therefore, seeing half of the books sticking out diagonally on the shelf, as well as the crooked scrolls, Yan Rin couldn't help but smile a little, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed by Rong Yin, she actually carefully put these things back to their original state after cleaning every day, she was really waiting for Rong Xiang to come back at any time.

Knowing that there was such a person with the same thoughts as herself, or even more than herself, Yan Rin felt that something was slightly filled in a certain empty place in her heart, and it was no longer as abrupt as it was at the beginning.

Before I knew it, I arranged the books one by one, put the scrolls in the porcelain vase, and my eyes slid my hand over the shelves one by one, and finally stopped at an inconspicuous box.

The box looks ordinary, that is, the box that is usually used to pack the loose paper, but this box is placed on the third floor of the shelf, where you can reach it with your hand, but it is wrapped in soft and delicate plain brocade, and I can't believe that it is put together with the pile of things next to it.

Curiously took it down and put it on the desk to open it, inside was a stack of neatly arranged and delicate volumes, the paper was yellowish, but it was well protected, I don't know if it was Rong Xiang and where he collected the ancient books of his predecessors. I couldn't help but open it, and the immature handwriting came into view, and the air seemed to freeze suddenly, and even time stopped.

On the head of the scroll is written "Learn and learn, and it is not ......"

It was my own handwriting, and it seemed to be the first article I transcribed as a child.

…… That day was the day he received the most praise since he could remember, and the man even happily forgot the courtesy of the monarch and courtiers that he always talked about, picked him up and kissed him on the cheek, and kept saying, "My emperor is indeed the most intelligent and talented", and the pride and joy in that tone he still remembers to this day.

With a click, a little wetness blurred on the paper, and Yan Rin realized that she was crying.

Quickly wiped it with his sleeve and continued to flip back. From the first transcription to the subsequent political discourses, every article and chapter has not been omitted. These were all his previous window lessons, Yan Rin used to think that these things were all in the other Taifu, and he threw them away after writing down the discussions with the Taifu, but he didn't expect them to be so well preserved. Look carefully, in addition to your own handwriting, there are small fly-headed small letters in the blank space, read them one by one, and can't help choking, those ...... It's all a note of appearance.

"Those who are in a position should know people well, and use people without suspicion, then they will ......"

"The people are the water, the king is the boat......"

"A ruler does not avoid intrigue and trickery, nor can he rely on ......"

"A gentleman's vessel is a ......"

He had discussed all this with the princes, and it turned out that the man continued to teach him where he could not see.

At the end of each article, there was something he had never seen before, which seemed to be disorganized and unintelligible:

"The handwriting is neat, the strokes are smooth, and it has been painstaking."

"Although it is the first time to write, the insights are also unique and different, my little emperor is really smart!"

……

"I smiled like a cute doll back then, but now I have a strained face, an awkward child."

"Compared with the cold appearance now, it is still the call of the soft voice when I was a child, which makes people feel soft-hearted when they hear it."

"Heh, I'm angry!"

"Actually pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, it's too much!"

"Now I'm calm, it seems that the education is good."

……

"Can't take it anymore? But it's still a bit too hasty. Forget it, it's still a little insufficient, but it should be fine in the future. Let him go, I won't have anything to do with it in the future."

On the last piece of paper, there was a sentence written like this.

If Yan Rin could still read it calmly and slowly, but when he saw this, he couldn't be still, and the hand that was originally stroking the page slowly clenched into a fist, and held it tightly in his hand along with the last page, as if he was going to crumple it into the palm of his hand.

I want to yell, I want to cry, I want to smash everything around me...... But in the end, nothing was done, but the silent roar slowly disappeared in the chest and abdomen.

A soft knock sounded on the door, and it was Rong Yin.

Yan Rin took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her churning emotions until she was sure that her voice would no longer tremble, and then she spoke, "Come in." ”

Rong Yin pushed the door in, put down the basin in his hand and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, please let the slave and maid sweep." ”

Looking at the sky, when it was almost unitary, Yan Rin hummed and stood up: "I went back." ”

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After Yan Rin went out, Rong Yin got up and slowly began to clean. When I raised my eyes, I saw the box spread out on the table, and suddenly froze, like a puppet with a broken thread, and I didn't move for a long time, and when I looked closely, I could find that she was actually trembling, and her fingers holding the towel were pinched tightly, and she was gray.

**********************

(b)

Yan Rin, who rushed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the palace as if she was fleeing, her mind was in a mess, she waved away the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, and sat on the dragon couch in a daze, not knowing what to think, obviously ordering herself to calm down, but she couldn't grasp her thoughts more and more.

Although I had known the man's intentions for a long time, and I had hated and resented and been sad, those things had passed. I thought I could just keep going until I saw him again one day, or never again...... Unexpectedly, a few pages of thin notes could easily break his disguise, summon all the feelings that are usually hidden in his heart, and smash the original hollowness in his heart even bigger.

Those are obviously a record of the person's occasional mood. I don't know how many feelings he has to have to have in order to leave a single word on this paper with his always restrained mind.

Only today did I really understand that his heart had always been the same, even when he turned his eyes, he had never really been as contemptuous and ruthless as he had appeared, and the clear outpouring of the tip of the pen was still pampering, worrying and gratifying. I don't know what kind of mood he was in in the end, "I won't have anything to do with me in the future......

This is the second time Yan Rin has experienced his care and warmth for many years, it is really a nostalgic feeling, and it is so sad to miss it.

This is also the first time in many years that he has deeply realized how ruthless he is, his previous admiration, admiration, and affection have all been completely forgotten, and he has absorbed power, although at first it was just so that he could look back at himself, but in the end, he has completely lost his original intention, and only knows that he can't lose.

So, you can make up the mind about the coup; Therefore, you can be ruthless and ruthless; Therefore, such torture can be ordered......

Smile wryly, try to imagine what it's like to be bullied by the person you love the most, no matter how much preparation you make, it will still hurt to the bone.

Which is the deeper pain in the body or the pain in the heart? So, did you finally have a grudge and didn't want to see me again? Are you finally glad that you can get rid of me, an annoying child, an ungrateful student?

It's just that this unscrupulous student of yours can't let go anymore, and he doesn't want to miss it again, even if there is only a small hope, I hope that this time you can really go back.

Suddenly, I forgot to bring back the box of files in a panic just now, and now I want to take another look at it and have no basis, so I might as well go and get it tomorrow, and after making up my mind, I relaxed my spirit and called people to come in and change clothes.

—————————————————————————————————————

It's a pity that the next day, Yan Rin didn't make it after all, and when he set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion again, more than ten days had passed.

The study was still the same, and Rong Yin carefully put away the box after he left, and everything returned to its original state.

I took the wooden box and opened it as usual, and unlike last time, there were some hay petals and other things in the four corners of the box, which looked no different from the usual antiseptic and moisture-proof use.

I didn't care, I still spread out the paper roll, page by page, and a burst of fragrance came to my face with the turning of the page, which made people feel refreshed. Turning it all the way to the last one, the crumpled paper seemed to have been re-flattened by the weight, except for some creases, there was no trace of curl, and I couldn't help but sigh at Rong Yin's heart.

The fragrance in the box has never been broken, and it has been lingering around the tip of her nose, and Yan Rin feels a little tired. Looking up at the sky, it should be okay to take a nap secretly, Rongyin will come in to clean later, and she should wake herself up. So he lay down on the table with peace of mind and fell asleep in a daze.

Rong Yin pushed the door in, and saw Yan Rin lying on the table sleeping unconscious, stunned for a moment, but he didn't feel a fuss, put down his things and walked over to push him: "Emperor, Emperor?" ”

Yan Rin was unmoved, still sleeping without knowing who was going to know.

Seeing the paper rolls scattered on the table, there was still a faint fragrance between his nose, Rong Yin's hands trembled, sighed, and a wry smile appeared on his lips: "Xiangye, I'm sorry...... Now I can't go back......"

—————————————————————————————————————

Consciousness slowly recovered, and Yan Rin immediately realized that something was wrong, he was lying flat on the hard ground, his hands and feet were tied.

I struggled, and the rope was tied very strongly, and I don't know if the man had a grudge against him, and the rope almost sank into his wrist, and his feet were also strangled with pain. Suddenly I opened my eyes, and it was an empty room, with no windows on the four walls, only a table near the door in the distance, and an oil lamp lit.

Trying to break free again was useless. In addition to the rope being tied tightly, there is almost no strength in the body, like the sequelae of being drugged. The brain was spinning rapidly, and the drug was ...... Could it be the scents?

Then, the robber could only be one person - Rong Yin.

is very easy to reason, and it is not easy to get this conclusion at all, but this conclusion makes Yan Rin gloomy for a while.

He never thought to suspect Rong Yin, but he didn't expect that it was she who made him fall on fire when he was most unprepared. It's been a few months since she met her in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she's always kept her duty, and he's unsuspecting her, if she did it on purpose, she would have been able to get it, I don't know why I've waited until now? It seems that it wasn't for his life, otherwise how would he wake up safely? It's just that I don't know what her real purpose is? Was he instructed to do so?

Wish...... She didn't really do it on purpose......

Someone outside will soon find out that he is missing, Feng Changqing Shijingyuan, which one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, so, if it comes, it will be safe, and wait and see what happens.

Thinking so, Yan Rin relaxed her whole body and slowly adjusted her breathing, hoping to recover her strength as soon as possible before making plans.

—————————————————————————————————————

I don't know how long it took, someone finally came in, Yan Rin raised her eyes and saw that it was really her.

Rong Yin saw that he was awake, so he put the burden he brought with him on the table, approached with an expressionless face, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake." ”

"Sure enough, it's you."

Rong Yin seemed to be smiling, without the panic and etiquette when they first met: "It's me." The emperor doesn't ask me what I want to do? ”

Yan Rin stared at her for a while and said, "Whatever you want to do, it's a capital offense." ”

Rong Yin actually smiled: "Heh, the emperor is ...... Scared? ”

Yan Rin shook her head with a solemn expression: "No, I just think, how can you be worthy of Rong Xiang's hard work?" ”

Rong Yin breathed for a while, and said with a reluctant smile: "I'm sorry Xiangye, but now I can't turn back, the emperor will accompany me to finish this journey." ”

Yan Rin saw that she really didn't seem to be vicious, and asked, "You...... But what's the problem? ”

Rong Yin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say this, his heart couldn't help but soften a little, and replied: "The emperor is compassionate. Difficulties...... The emperor will never understand. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Yan Rin up, let him sit against the wall, and turned around to take the burden again.

Yan Rin sighed in her heart, it seemed that it was impossible to convince her, and she only hoped that she would not really do something out of the ordinary and harm others and herself.

In the blink of an eye, Rong Yin returned, holding a couple of small bottles and a knife in his hand.

Yan Rin chuckled in her heart, became vigilant, and tried to break it again, but she still couldn't break free.

Rong Yin put down his things and smiled: "The emperor doesn't have to earn it, the effect of that incense will take three hours to get rid of it, and you can't break free." Now, does the emperor want to know what I want to do? ”

Yan Rin was sure that she wouldn't want her own life, at least not now, but she just couldn't think of her true purpose, so she had to say, "No matter what you want to do, is there a difference between me asking and not asking?" ”

Rong Yin stretched out his hand to touch his face, and said gently: "The slave doesn't want to do anything, and I don't dare to do anything......"

At this time, she called herself a slave again, and her words were tactful and soft, but it was like a love story, but she changed color in an instant, revealing a sad face: "I just want the emperor to know the hardships of my family......" In the end, she choked up.

Yan Rin didn't seem to understand her words, just looked at her tears, and didn't react for a long time, and didn't even notice that Rong Yin cut his coat. There was a pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but snort, only to find that Rong Yin had made a one-foot-long cut on him, the wound was not very deep, and the blood soaked out and stained the clothes red, and suddenly understood what she meant, it turned out to be like this......

It turns out that it hurts so much when a knife cuts your body......

Just...... It's just a knife......

Bitter smile, pampered since he was a child, under the careful care of that person, he has never suffered anything, even if the man beat him up when he left, he didn't see blood, so until today, he didn't know that it was just a shallow cut from a knife that hurt so much......

Rong Yin stopped with a slash, saw his slightly pale face, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, does it hurt?" ”

Yan Rin gritted her teeth and looked at her coldly, and replied, "It doesn't hurt." ”

"It doesn't hurt? That's good. Rong Yin said and slashed again.

This time she seemed to be ruthless, the knife edge was long and deep, and even the slightly turned flesh could be seen. Although Yan Rin gritted his teeth and endured it, he couldn't help but snort.

Rong Yin heard a smile like a flower: "Your Majesty, does it really not hurt?" If it hurts, say it, and the slave will be lighter next time. ”

Knowing that she just said it casually, Yan Rin ignored her. Rong Yin felt bored, and no longer forced him to speak, only concentrating on her knife.

There were more and more wounds on his body, and Yan Rin was in a cold sweat in pain, but he just gritted his teeth and stopped saying a word.

Rong Yin cut more than ten times, and saw that the blood soaked a large piece of Yan Rin's white underwear, so he put down the knife and said, "Your Majesty, it actually hurts, right?" The slaves and maids are distressed, you see that the blood has soaked the clothes, and it is inconvenient for the slaves and maids to take care of their wounds, so it is better to take them off. ”

As he spoke, he went to untie his placket, and the action seemed to be as careful as he was, as if he was afraid of hurting him. But when the cloth soaked in blood stuck to the wound was torn open, it would always pull the wound, and Rong Yin helped him up and turned him over in order to make it easier for him to give him a wide coat, which made the wound even more torn open, and Yan Rin secretly grinned in pain.

Finally retreated the clothes to his arms, Rong Yin took the scissors, cut the clothes from the cuffs, and finally took them off. While cutting it back, he said: "It's a pity that it's a good piece of clothing, and the slave and maid will find another one for the emperor." ”

Yan Rin was so painful at this time that she didn't even have the strength to speak, so she could only stare at her.

Seeing his eyes, Rong Yin covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the slave will give you medicine." ”

I really took a clean white cloth and water to clean the wound, and then poured out the powder from the vial and applied it to the wound little by little.

The powder didn't know what to do, as soon as it touched the wound, it burned and hurt, as if it magnified the pain by two or three times, Rao is Yan Rin couldn't help but cry out no matter how much she could bear it.

Rong Yin seemed to be even happier when he heard his pain, and the intensity of the medicine increased a little more, and he explained: "This medicine is a little more powerful, but the effect is very good, and it is guaranteed that it will not leave scars in the future." Slaves and maids are very good to the emperor, right? Bear with it, the slave heard that Xiangye didn't shout when he was Ling Chi. ”

The words that sounded careless poked into the deepest part of Yan Rin's heart, and he couldn't help but cough with qi and blood.

Rong Yin had a puzzled expression when he saw this: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Don't get excited, or the slave will give you medicine. He also reached out and patted him on the back a few times.

Yan Rin was so painful that she almost fainted, but she finally recovered her breath and said in a hoarse voice, "You are very happy?" ”

The expression on Rong Yin's face was like being wiped away by a hand, she stared at Yan Rin for a while, and saw that his cold sweat was almost soaking his hair, she reached out to wipe it for him, poured another glass of water and fed him to drink, and then said coldly: "Yes, I'm very happy." can take revenge on the person I hate the most in this life, do you think I'm unhappy? ”

Yan Rin was speechless.

Rong Yin also stopped talking, helped him sit down, packed up his things and prepared to go out, and paused when he walked to the door, and said, "It seems that the emperor doesn't think anything about it today." Indeed, compared to Ling Chi, what am I worth? Why don't we try the real Ling Chi tomorrow? ”

Before Yan Rin could fully react to what she meant, her vision was blocked by the closed door, and the tip of her nose smelled a vague aroma. It seems that she is really cautious, and she doesn't even forget to smoke the incense when she leaves, but with such a shallow taste, the dose should not be enough to make people sleep, only enough to continue to maintain a weak state.

Do you want to feel pain when you are awake?

After piercing the veil, Yan Rin found that Rong Yin's mind was very easy to see, she was just a little girl full of revenge, but for some reason she endured it for many months before she started.

In addition, I don't know what happened outside, but the palace should already know that he was missing by now. From Rong Yin's words just now, we can know that it will not be more than Zi Shi now, and Changqing and Jingyuan should take action tomorrow at the latest. I only hope that they can hurry up, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now he has no more time to delay here.

As for the "real Ling Chi", he didn't think much about it, but it was just a little more painful than today, anyway, Rong Yin wouldn't be in a hurry to kill him, as long as he could live and wait until Changqing and them found him, it was enough.

Yan Rin closed his eyes, trying to ignore the pain in his body as much as possible, and tried to get himself to sleep, even though he found that it didn't seem easy.

There was no light in the secret room, and I didn't know what time it was, Yan Rin was so tired that he just wanted to sleep, but probably because the medicine worked, the pain in his body became more and more intense, and he was pulled back from the threshold of sleep again and again. He was desperate to find something else to distract himself, but the wound kept screaming "pain, pain, pain" as if it was going to oppose him, and he had no energy to think of anything other than gritting his teeth and suffering a pain that was worse than a beat.

Finally, I heard the door knock again, and when I opened my eyes, it was Rong Yin who came in with a food box.

I only heard her laughing and feasting: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have prepared some food, which is not as good as in the palace, and at this time they can only settle down." ”

Yan Rin didn't eat dinner the day before, and was tossed by her for a while, and now of course she was so hungry that her eyes were full of stars, but she just looked at her caring and considerate look, and she was really not sure what else she wanted to do, so she only looked at her suspiciously.

Rong Yin didn't care, he took out a bowl of porridge and mixed it with some side dishes, although it was light, it was also fragrant. Scooped a spoonful and tested the temperature, sent it to Yan Rin's mouth, saw that he pursed his mouth and did not speak, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid didn't put anything, eat it while it's hot, otherwise how can you have the strength to continue to suffer?" ”

Yan Rin lowered her eyes and thought for a while, opened her mouth and swallowed it slowly.

Rong Yin stopped talking and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

After drinking the porridge easily, Yan Rin regained some strength and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's not dawn yet, the emperor should rest for a while."

As he spoke, he untied the rope in Yan Rin's puzzled eyes.

"You're not afraid that I'll run away?"

Rong Yin smiled: "Tying the rope for too long is not good for your health, and the slave maid is also thinking about the emperor." As for escaping...... Does the emperor have the strength to flee now? ”

With that, he went out with the food box.

Yan Rin tried to move his hands and feet, knowing that what she said was true, it was very difficult for him to even move his fingers now, and it was not in vain, so he closed his eyes and thought carefully.

The porridge just now is still a little hot, which means that the cooking place is not far from here, and it seems that she has no accomplices, so this place may not be far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it must not be out of the capital, or even ...... Maybe this is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise how could she have the physical strength to move him as a big man?

Confirming this, Yan Rin breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, Feng Changqing's search scope can be greatly reduced, and the time can be saved a lot, I hope Jing Yuan can notice his message in the study as soon as possible.

—————————————————————————————————————

The sky is gradually brightening, and Yan Rin is unusually unusually not having an early dynasty on this day. When the attendants found out that he had not returned all night, they notified several of their close ministers, and the result of their discussion was to temporarily announce the resignation of the court, and then secretly search.

The disappearance of the emperor is a major event that cannot be publicized at all, Feng Changqing blocked the city gate with the pretext of anti-theft early in the morning, and An Wuji also scattered all his men, and it is estimated that there will be no result for a while.

Shi Jingyuan expected that it would be impossible for Yan Rin to leave the palace without leaving any clues, so he invited the chamberlain to ask. The chamberlain said that the emperor left a message before leaving yesterday, and if Lord Shi came to see him, please go to the study and wait.

Without saying a word, Shi Jingyuan went to the study to rummage, and sure enough, he found Yan Rin's letter next to the seat where he often sits:

"Go out for a walk, and you will return when you are united. If there is an emergency, the old house on East Street. ”

Looking at the cat's paw drawn in the lower right corner of the message, Shi Jingyuan stroked his forehead speechlessly, this person, is he still his own child, and he still uses such an ancient way of signature. Thinking of the naughty time when he was a child, he shook his head and chuckled, guessing that he must have known that he would not agree to let him go out of the palace alone, so he didn't inform him, but he was afraid that if there was an emergency, he left this note.

It turned out that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion...... No wonder you don't want people to follow.

It's just that, Your Majesty, to this day, you still can't let go?

Straighten your face and send someone to find Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing heard the news and said, "I will immediately send someone to find it." ”

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, An Wuji finally returned, and there was no breakthrough in the search for most of the day.

"However, the subordinates have sent people to surround it secretly, and if anyone enters or leaves, they will not be able to escape the eyes of their subordinates. In addition, there are strange things in some places in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not certain that it is related to this matter, so I can only wait for the rabbit for the time being. ”

Feng Changqing nodded, and looked at Shi Jingyuan, who had a solemn face next to him: "Shizi, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, please rest for a while, and Changqing will be notified as soon as there is news." ”

Shi Jingyuan knew that it would be useless for him to work here, so he nodded, and after repeated instructions, he went to the minister's resting place.

Feng Changqing called An Wuji: "Let me ask you, the one on West Street...... Don't know about it yet, do you? ”

An Wuji was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't know yet." ”

Feng Changqing was silent for a while, and said, "Don't tell him for the time being, if there is no news in a few days...... Again. ”

"Yes."

An Wuji withdrew, lamenting in his heart, now even if I want to tell that person, there is no way, he went to Xishan to recuperate last month, and I don't know who told him that there is a hot spring there, which has a healing effect on his old injuries, so that person didn't care about the hot day, and ran away happily with some "winter illness and summer cure". From here to Xishan, the fastest journey will take three or four days......

************************

(iv)

There was a cold feeling on his face, and Yan Rin woke up from her haze.

Rong Yin was wiping his face for him: "The emperor is awake?" Did you sleep well? ”

Yan Rin wanted to sneer at each other and said that you can try to see if you will sleep well if you are slashed ten times, and suddenly remembered that someone who was slashed a hundred times also spent the night in prison safely, plus salt water...... I don't know how he survived that night. Thinking about it like this, the knife wound on his body was faintly more painful, and the limbs and bones also flowed with a cold and numb feeling.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Rong Yin didn't think he was angry, and served him as usual and prepared to leave after breakfast.

"Wait. What do you really want? Yan Rin asked unprecedentedly.

Rong Yin paused, turned around, the expression on his face seemed to be sad and happy, he looked extremely weird, and even his voice was a little distorted: "Didn't I say it, I just want the emperor to know the suffering of my family." ”

Yan Rin's heart was cold, and there was a trace of pain, and she said in a low voice: "I ...... I know I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for my appearance. But I've ordered people to look for him everywhere, as long as he can come back......"

"Come back?" Rong Yin sneered, "Can he really come back?" ”

Yan Rin was taken aback: "What do you mean?" ”

Rong **** Xiangye's whereabouts, shouldn't the emperor know best? ”

"After the ceremony, Xiangye never came back, if it wasn't for the deceased...... It's restricted. Since the emperor appeared here, then he was no longer in the palace, and where he went, shouldn't the emperor know best? Why bother coming here again? ”

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Yan Rin immediately defended: "No, I definitely didn't harm him!" It's himself...... Leaving my ...... I'm looking for him everywhere! ”

"Where can he go with such an injury, and he is alone? Does anyone believe such a lie? ”

"No...... He's really gone, he doesn't want anything, not even me......"

Thinking of Rong Qian's decision when he left, Yan Rin couldn't help but show a somewhat lonely expression.

Looking at Yan Rin, who looked like an abandoned child, Rong Yin finally believed a little, but he still couldn't help but mock: "Really? It seems that he doesn't want to stay here anymore, yes, who wants to stay with someone who will override him? ”

Yan Rin remembered what the man had said, "What are you going to do to stay and let you continue this unfinished Ling Chi?" Suddenly I felt that Rong Yin was right, yes, who would be willing to stay with someone who would delay him, even if he had been protecting him since he was a child......

It's just that I don't want to let go, I don't want to let go...... So even if he doesn't want to, even if he will hate, he must come back, definitely come back!

"Get him back...... What about coming back? When he is a waste, he eats and drinks as well, reflecting your emperor's kindness? Still is...... Looking for another chance to actually kill him? Rong Yin continued to sneer unceremoniously.

"Nope! No, no, no! Yan Rin became so excited that he almost had to stand up despite the pain, but he was so weak that he could only fall down by the wall and say: "As long as I am still in power, he will always be the prime minister of Yan Kingdom!" As long as he is willing to come back, I will compensate him! As long as he's willing to come back......"

The viciousness in Rong Yin's eyes was no longer concealed: "Does the emperor think that he will really come back?" After being treated like that...... Won't he really resent you? Or...... Is there a chance he can come back? ”

Yan Rin hurriedly interrupted her: "No...... Impossible, he was still returning to the palace with me at that time, and he seemed to be fine, although he was covered in injuries, but his expression showed no pain at all...... "In the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he couldn't speak.

"It seems that the emperor still remembers. On the execution ground for those two days, did he have a calm face and smile lightly? ”

Looking at Yan Rin's evasive gaze, Rong Yin felt funny: "The emperor is almost brought up by Xiangye, do you know his temperament?" If he had made up his mind, would he have been shaken? If he doesn't say it hurts, does that mean he really won't hurt?

"Xiangye once said that sooner or later, there will be a day when either you no longer need him, or he can't afford to continue to stay by your side. He had already realized life and death, but he didn't expect that this day would be like this......"

Approaching Yan Rin's pale face, he looked directly into his slightly dull eyes, and said:

"Does the emperor know how I spent those two days?"

Shaking his head blankly.

Rong Yin smiled: "I can't get up, the sister I took care of thought that I would resent Xiangye at first, and happily told me the news of Xiangye's death, and also told me the details of the execution ground." I'm like five thunderbolts, I can't believe that the fairy-like Xiangye will be treated like this...... I howled to see him, to cry out, and to go with him. But I couldn't get out of bed, I could only shout at everyone who came near me, begging them to take me to see him, begging them to cry out for me, and they ignored me. I tried countless ways to kill myself, and they were afraid that I would do something stupid, so they tied me with ropes, stuffed their mouths with strips of cloth, and did not dare to come near me at will. I can't do anything...... So, I'm crazy, I hate you madly, I hate the world, I swear to pay for my life, and I want you to taste life is worse than death.

"Until, I heard that he saved you...... He actually saved you again...... Hehe, he was overshadowed by you, and he still thinks about saving you......

So, I gave up. I decided to bury this hatred deep in my heart, and just keep this house in peace until he can come back one day.

"I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life. But you shouldn't come, you shouldn't appear here, and you shouldn't touch Xiangye's most cherished treasures at will......"

"What...... Treasure......? ”

Yan Rin asked blankly, her eyes wandering, as if she didn't understand what she said.

Rong Yin glared at him coldly, turned around and ignored him, and went straight out.

Yan Rin looked at her back, not knowing what to think at all. He never knew that that thin body carried such strong feelings, and he didn't know what the treasure of appearance was, and was there anything in this world that people regarded as treasures?

In less than half a moment, Rong Yin returned, and there was one more thing in his hand, which was the wooden box wrapped in plain brocade.

Yan Rin's color changed: "This ...... It's ......"

Rong Yin carefully opened the brocade, revealing the dark carvings of the wooden box, an action that was like treating the most precious and fragile jade.

"This is Xiangye's most beloved treasure...... Hehe, the emperor has seen it, right? ”

Yan Rin watched her take out the handscroll inside, shaking her lips and unable to say a word.

Rong Yin looked at him mockingly: "The emperor is surprised? ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Rong Yin's expression narrowed when he heard this, and he interrupted him very solemnly: "What does the emperor not know? ”

Yan Rin was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to answer in the face of her cold face.

yes, don't know what?

Don't you know that he secretly collected these? Still don't know that he has such a message?

Is it that you don't know how much he cares for you? Still don't know his good intentions?

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Rong Yin turned his eyes, stroked his handscroll, and sighed: "What does the emperor know......

Yan Rin suddenly felt like a hundred needles piercing her heart, so she could only smile bitterly and close her eyes.

But he heard Rong Yin continue: "This is Xiangye's most cherished thing, he always takes care of it himself, and he never allows me to do it." I was curious about what it contained, but Xiangye didn't say anything, just looked at it with smiling eyes, and told me to be careful not to break it when I cleaned it. I asked why not store it in a cabinet if it was such a valuable thing? Xiangye said that this thing made him feel very happy when he saw it, so of course it should be placed in a place where he could see it at any time. I never knew what was in it until that night......"

Speaking of this, Rong Yin smiled sadly, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping on her hands.

"It was the eve of Sangye's birthday......

"On this birthday, Xiang Ye actually wanted to do a big thing unusually, and he started preparing a few months ago, and since then, he has been leaving the house almost every day, and everyone is panicking. But Xiangye seems to be iron-hearted, and even Lao Yu, the chief manager who has worked in the Xiangfu for more than 20 years, was sent away by him for picking out his mistakes. Fortunately, their respective ways out are not bad, so even if they are sad and reluctant, they all leave one after another. I don't want to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, so I live every day with fear, and I wait even more diligently, for fear that the Prime Minister will kick me out if he is not satisfied, maybe because of this, I am actually the last one to stay......"

Rong Yin flipped through the pages as he spoke, stroking the handwriting on them one by one, and a look of memory appeared on his face.

"That night, Xiangye handed me the box and asked me to burn it. I was very surprised and asked why? Xiangye didn't say anything for a long time, only rubbed the surface of the box with his fingers, and even I could see the nostalgia in his eyes. I begged Xiangye to keep it, because it was the first time I had seen Xiangye have such an expression. But Xiangye said, 'That's it, what should be broken will always be broken and burned.' When he said this, his expression was indifferent, but I felt a trace of sadness......

Honestly frightened, he took the box and hesitated to burn it, only to find that it was a meticulously arranged roll of hand-tied books. At first, I thought it was a scroll collected by Xiang Ye, but I accidentally found his annotation, and I realized that it was the emperor's imperial pen. It turned out that what Xiang Ye said should always be broken was the friendship with the emperor.

"I didn't burn it after all...... Maybe it's because I can't bear it, maybe it's because I'm reluctant, I just secretly hid it, and I don't want Xiangye to regret it one day. But he may never have a chance to regret it......"

Rong Yin stopped, and there was silence in the secret room. Yan Rin seemed to have lost her life and didn't move, her godless eyes stared at a certain point dullly, and her whole person seemed to have lost her response to the stimuli of the outside world.

Both of them remained motionless until Rong Yin suddenly laughed: "I'm such a fool!" In fact, this friendship has long been broken, so why should I stay for him for so long......"

A smell of burning paper wafted in, getting stronger and stronger, Yan Rin slowly came back to his senses, saw the flames rising, and shouted in horror: "What are you doing?!" Not ......"

Looking at the pile of paper burning in the wooden box, Rong Yin finally showed a satisfied smile: "Actually, I should have burned it a long time ago." But I am always reluctant and reluctant...... I hope he will be happy to see him back. I was wrong, if there is still friendship, if he can come back, how can he not come back? If he doesn't come back, either the friendship has been broken or he has ...... What am I keeping all this for? ”

Yan Rin struggled to pounce, but she couldn't get up, so she could only roll to the ground, screaming, "What are you doing?!" No!! Don't burn !! You're going to destroy it, you're going to destroy it!! ”

Rong Yin looked at Yan Rin who was moving on the ground, and said calmly: "Don't panic, the emperor, the slave maid just dealt with some old things that should have been disposed of a long time ago." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped him up and sat down again, and tied him with a rope.

Yan Rin struggled desperately, but it was useless under the effect of the medicinal properties, and she could only watch the paper that recorded Rong Qian's memories turn to ashes, and tears finally couldn't help but slide down her eyes.

"Why...... Why burn it...... That was the last thing he left me...... Why even this...... I won't give ...... either."

Rong Yin turned Yan Rin's face, glared at him, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, that's not for you at all." Memories that should have ended a long time ago, do you think you are still qualified to touch them? ”

"No...... No......"

Looking at Rong Yin's naked eyes revealing disgust, Yan Rin wanted to refute, but there was nothing in his mind, only echoing the words of the man when he left: "You and I don't owe each other, so we will never see each other." The muttered "no" is he trying to deny the harm he has caused, or is he denying that he will never see each other? Or is it just trying to deceive himself, it's not over yet, that person still cares about himself......

Rong Yin let go of him and retreated with a cold face, leaving Yan Rin alone to watch the flames lick the fragments and wooden boxes clean, leaving only a pile of black wreckage.

***************************************

(5)

An Wuji searched around the city, but did not focus on the royal family and magnates. First, Yan Rin is an only son, without an imperial uncle and relatives, and has relied on Rong Qian's support for many years, it is absolutely impossible to say that there are any close relatives who usurp the throne and seize power; Second, after Cong Rongqian disappeared, he ruled the country wholeheartedly and subdued the hearts of the people, and for a period of time, he had firmly included the power in his hands, and it was even more impossible to say which subordinate had two hearts; Third, the security of the capital has been good since Rong Qian was in power, and he has not dared to cause trouble in the city, so the possibility of encountering bandits is also very small. Then there is only one situation left, and for some special reason you are trapped and cannot get out. So, what could be the reason? Where will they be trapped?

He had carefully checked many other possible places, and the only one left that had not been searched was this prime minister's mansion.

He was a little surprised to find that there were still people in and out of this Xiangfu for a long time, and asked his subordinates to learn that the girl used to be Rongxiang's rough maid, and she lived in the alley not far behind the Xiangfu, maybe she missed her old master, and she would come every day after Rongxiang disappeared, although it didn't look suspicious, but just in case you still had to ask.

So he used the accent of Chu Guo and stepped forward to stop her: "This girl, may I ask if this is the mansion of Rongxiangguo?" ”

As soon as Rong Yin came out of the side door where the servants entered and exited, he met such a person dressed as a boy who came to inquire, and although it was strange, he still nodded.

An Wuji continued to ask: "Dare to ask the girl, what about the people in this house?" I have just returned from a foreign country, and there is an old man of mine in this house, and I have just turned around, and I found that the gate is closed, and no one enters or leaves, this is ......"

Rong Yin was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that Gongzi doesn't know anything?" Rong Xiang was convicted, and the people in this house had already been dismissed, and the deceased of the son had gone elsewhere. ”

"What ...... is that girl?" An Wuji said and looked at the side door that Rong Yin had just come out of.

Rong Yin replied: "The little girl was just a maid in this house, and she couldn't see the decay of her master's hometown, so she came back occasionally to clean it." ”

An Wuji saluted when he heard the words: "The girl is really loyal, there are too many things in this world, and it is really admirable to think of the old love like the girl." ”

Rong Yin turned sideways to avoid it, and said politely: "The son praises falsely, and the little woman says goodbye." ”

An Wuji watched her drift away, waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates to order, "Go to the mansion and see if there is anything wrong?" ”

The subordinate took the order and went to report after a while, except for the study warm pavilion was too clean and tidy, and it could be seen that it was cleaned frequently, there was nothing abnormal about the others.

An Wuji nodded, asking them to always pay attention to whether anyone else was in or out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he entered through the side door.

The inside was really dilapidated as people said, but An Wuji felt extremely familiar. Before he went to Chu State, he had been to this mansion a lot, and when he thought of his previous demeanor, he couldn't help but be gloomy, and naturally slandered the little emperor who was protected by him in every way.

When I came to the study and looked around, it was still the same as in the old days, I picked up a book and flipped through it, and when I saw Rong Qian's comments, I remembered that he had written a good hand, and now I ...... It seems that I have learned to write with my left hand, although I am still not used to it, but at least it is no longer crooked.

Sighing lightly, he put the book back, looked around again, and groaned slightly, this is an old mansion that existed before it became the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Rong Qian first became the left minister, the first emperor wanted to build another mansion for him, but he resigned, so the first emperor asked people to find an old mansion in the city that was more suitable for the prime minister's status and gave it to him.

This old mansion was originally the residence of a giant businessman, and later the family fell into the middle of the road and mortgaged out, which has a history of several decades. Generally, the richer the family, the heavier the suspicion, and it is common for the family to occasionally build some secret rooms, not to mention that the previous owner here is a rich party.

According to the emperor's habit, he shouldn't be walking around, and the city gate hasn't been opened since last night, so he should still be in the city. No clues have been found anywhere else, so this should be the most suspicious. An Wuji carefully inspected every corner, not letting go of any clues, and sure enough, he found a fresh trace on the ground near the corner of the wall, as if it was caused by pushing a heavy object. An Wuji was very excited, looking around for a mechanism that could open the secret door, but unfortunately found nothing, it seems that it is necessary to pay attention to the little girl, just don't startle the snake.

—————————————————————————————————————

Rong Yin came out of the house, it was almost midday, went back to clean up, and went to the nearby medical center to send the clothes that had been washed a few days ago.

The owner of the medical hall is a very kind couple, although the male owner's medical skills are not considered national masters, but ordinary diseases are always difficult for him, and the wife loves to study drugs, and is particularly interested in how to improve the formula to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine. The lady had a very good impression of Rong Yin, and thought she was smart and diligent, so she would occasionally give her some medicine, saying that she was always prepared. Rong Yin didn't shirk it, and accepted it all.

On this day, as usual, the lady received the clothes and paid for them, and the woman stopped Rong Yin and asked, "Why does the girl have a faint smell of blood?" Hurt? ”

Rong Yin's heart froze, but his face was silent, and he asked, "No, why did Madam say that?" ”

The lady said, "It's good if you don't, it's not good for girls to have scars." I have been dispensing medicine all year round, and my sense of smell is particularly keen, and I can easily separate various medicinal materials from a pile of medicinal powders, and it is easy to distinguish the various tastes in this world. ”

Rong **** may have passed by the vegetable market before, and his body was stained with some poultry blood, I'll go back and take a closer look. ”

After saying goodbye to the hospital, Rong Yin went home and changed all the clothes on his body to check it well, and finally found a little blood stain on the corner of his skirt, sighed that fortunately it was not in a conspicuous place, and quickly washed it off, and then started to make lunch.

Carrying the food box back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already noon. Rong Yin was not in a hurry, first took a rag and a broom and cleaned the study slowly, found that some things on the bookshelf had been moved, and he was stunned, restored the passive things, and continued to clean, everything was as usual. When everything was done, he carefully pushed open the secret door in the corner of the house and dodged in.

Light the candle, through a narrow passage, to the secret room where Yan Rin is, the light in the room is as bright as a bean, can only illuminate a very limited space, there are two rows of small air vents on the top of the secret room, the air is flowing very slowly, there is still a faint fragrance and the paste smell of wood burning.

Rong Yin put down the food box, walked over to Yan Rin who was curled up by the wall, and stretched out his hand to push him. The temperature of the tentacle's skin was slightly high, he frowned, poured a glass of water, and woke Yan Rin up.

Yan Rin opened her eyes in a daze, saw that it was Rong Yin, and couldn't help asking, "What else do you want to do?" "The voice was hoarse and weak.

Rong Yin didn't answer, put the water cup to him, Yan Rin took two sips, and said, "When is it?" ”

Putting away the cup, Rong Yin took the food box: "The emperor must be hungry, let's eat." ”

Yan Rin looked suspiciously at the food she served, vinegared fish, bacon, a plate of vegetarian vegetables and a bowl of soup, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: This will not be the last meal.

"The emperor has been wronged in the past two days, and the slave and maid have specially made something special, the emperor will taste it?"

Rong Yin, who said this, did not look like a kidnapper at all, but like a maid who served by his side all the year round.

Knowing that his hands were inconvenient, Rong Yin automatically took the dishes and chopsticks to feed him.

The two fully carried forward the good habit of eating without saying a word, one concentrated on feeding and the other concentrated on eating, Rao is so, this meal is also eaten very slowly, and only half of it is eaten after a stick of incense.

Yan Rin turned his head and signaled not to eat. Rong Yin smiled: "How can the emperor only eat such a little?" There's still a lot to do today. ”

Yan Rin ignored her, and Rong Yin asked again: "Really don't want it?" ”

Yan Rin shook her head, Rong Yin lowered her face, and put away the rest of the food and took it out.

Yan Rin didn't want to think about what Rong Yin would do anymore, anyway, that's all there was to it. The torture of this day and night actually didn't crush him, he was still very conscious of trying to delay as much as possible, but he was a little tired and didn't want to spend any more energy guessing Rong Yin's behavior, anyway, even if he guessed, he couldn't stop it, right.

When Rong Yin came back, in addition to the two things from yesterday, she also brought one more thing, a very small net, she explained: "Since the emperor said that Xiangye is not dead, then it should be considered that he is not dead...... It's just that you see, I still have to use this carefully prepared thing, otherwise it will be a waste. ”

As he spoke, he tied the net to Yan Rin's right arm and said, "Two days, right hand...... You see, I'm still talking. Time is running out, so let's get started. ”

The mesh is not big, the size of a coin, very similar to the fishing net used for execution, I really don't know where she found it.

Yan Rin silently let her tie up the fishing net, feeling the skin on her arm bulged by the net line, with a slight tingling, and in a moment, a blade cut through the skin, and a sharp pain came. The knife was cut very slowly, like the first time a very unskilled chef cut a piece of meat, and it took a long time to cut off a small piece of flesh.

After shedding a lot of blood, Rong Yin paused before saying: "The first time I did this work, I was not familiar with the technique, and the emperor forgave me." ”

Yan Rin was already in pain, but when she said this, she didn't feel angry, and gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to cut, you can cut, where is so much nonsense." ”

When Rong Yin heard him say this, the corners of his eyes curved, and he said, "The slave obeys." ”

So he concentrated on cutting the second knife. After cutting three or four times in a row, Rong Yin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that in fact, the most painful thing is not how deep the wound is, but to cut it in the right place." I've heard people say that the place that goes deep into the epidermis is the most painful, I don't know if it's right? ”

Yan Rin didn't know how to answer, so she simply didn't speak.

"Doesn't the emperor know? It's okay, we can try slowly. ”

Rong Yin cut very slowly, and his hands even trembled a little, but he still held the knife firmly and never stopped. Slowly, Yan Rin's right hand became a blur of flesh and blood, but each of her knives was very shallow, but it was really only "a little deeper into the epidermis", and it did not hurt the muscles and bones.

Yan Rin was so pained that she couldn't speak, and her originally clenched hands gradually loosened, and a handful of fine black ashes fell from between her fingers.

Rong Yin stopped, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "What is my Tao, it turns out that it is just some residues." ”

looked at the wreckage of the wooden box on the side again, and sneered: "It's really not easy, how long did it take you to catch this handful of ashes?" It's a pity that it doesn't make any sense anymore. ”

Yan Rin stared at her and swept away the pile of wreckage, enduring the pain and roaring intermittently: "How can it be meaningless? What I missed, I will try my best to make amends; If I do something wrong, I will try my best to make amends. How could it not make sense? ”

"Compensation? Save? ”

Rong Yin turned back, his fingers lightly touched Yan Rin's wound, and he frowned with satisfaction when he saw him in pain, leaned close to his ear, and asked softly, "Isn't this painful?" …… How is it compared to yesterday? ”

Yan Rin stared at her and didn't answer.

She wasn't angry at all, she still leaned on Yan Rin's ear and exhaled like a lan: "Do you hate me very much now?" ”

There was no need to answer at all, Yan Rin's expression was enough to explain everything.

Rong Yin stroked his palms and smiled: "It turns out that you also know that this will hurt a lot, and you will also hate it." It's so good, it's good......" suddenly changed his words and said coldly: "Then what reason do you have to think that he won't hate you?" ”

In a word, the defenseless Yan Rin was cold from head to toe.

Rong Yin continued: "It hurts, but you should be able to imagine that he should be a thousand times more painful than you." So, shouldn't he be a thousand times hate you too? So, how do you think he'll come back? ”

This was said ruthlessly, as if it had been stabbed in Yan Rin's heart.

"That's not right! He...... He saved me...... He also saved me...... He's just doing it for my good...... So ......"

Yan Rin was so incoherent that she had forgotten to even claim herself.

Rong Yin didn't argue with him, but looked at him with a very pitying gaze: "I won't even say goodbye...... You should know better than me whether you hate or not, whether you hurt or not, so why deceive yourself? ”

Yan Rin was so blocked that she couldn't say a word.

"Or, perhaps...... He's dead, where you can't see, where you can't find him...... How could it have disappeared so completely? You should have known it, but you just wouldn't admit it. Right? ”

"Impossible...... Looks like that......"

Yan Rin's weak retort was interrupted by Rong Yin sneeringly:

"Hehe, it's ridiculous, aren't masters mortals? Wouldn't a superior person be born, old, sick, or die, be pained, or resentful? Compared to me, isn't the emperor also a master? It's not the same that you will be deceived, the same will hurt, and the same will hate. I said, right? ”

"No...... He must still be alive...... As long as he is alive, he will definitely forgive me......"

Yan Rin said this repeatedly, not knowing whether to convince Rong Yin or herself.

Rong Yin sighed: "Yes, as long as he is alive, he may be one day." The premise is ...... He's still alive......"

There was a dead silence in the secret room, and even the sound of breathing could no longer be heard.
