I don't know how long it took before Cui Shen spoke in a hoarse voice: "Go and invite the national teacher." ”

The henchman answered yes and hurriedly went to invite someone.

Cui Shen stood alone in the imperial study, a furnace of sandalwood in the corner of the imperial case gradually burned out, and the last green smoke slowly rose from the incense lid of the openwork copper furnace to the sky, and then it was like a cold knife broken in half, suddenly disappearing in mid-air.

Cui Shen looked at it coldly, and there was no emotion on Qingjun's face.

He stood for a long time before the henchman finally came back to his life.

He reported in a panic: "Childe, the national teacher is gone!" Even his incense-burning boys are gone! He instigated the son, poked out such a big basket, but just left, leaving a mess for the son, how can this be good! ”

Cui Shen still lowered his eyebrows, as if he was expecting.

He stretched out his hand, slowly lifted the lid of the copper stove incense, and added two pieces of incense to it.

But his hands trembled violently, and the incense pieces on the tweezers fell to the side of the imperial case, and as his wide cuff turned over half a cup of tea, the incense pieces melted into the diffuse cold tea, revealing a different kind of fragrance.

It's cold, it's greasy......

It's like how he felt when he was a child and saw the national teacher for the first time.

At the age of twelve, at a banquet, he met the national teacher for the first time.

When he went to the back garden to breathe, he saw a man in a robe carrying a puppy, and he didn't know how the puppy provoked him, and he cruelly broke its neck.

He was frightened and accidentally made a noise.

The man in the robe chuckled twice, threw away the puppy's corpse, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "You are the son of the Cui family?" It's very good-looking. Look at the new clothes you're wearing, the material is expensive, isn't it? It seems that in the past few years, the eldest princess has treated you well. ”

Xiao Cui Shen didn't know who he was, but he felt that this person was like a sticky poisonous snake, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

The man in the Taoist robe walked towards him step by step: "I am the national teacher of the dynasty, and I am an alliance with the eldest princess. It's a pity that that woman is not good, she never treated you as her own child, everything she did was just for revenge. ”

He was tall, and as he walked, the shadow enveloped Xiao Cui Shen.

He leaned down slightly, caressing Xiao Cui Shen's head as if he was loving: "What a poor person, my mother died early, leaving you alone in this cold and cruel world...... The eldest princess doesn't really care for you, and your father only treats you as a concubine because he doesn't have any other sons......"

His tone was eerily gentle, and his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Under that bewitchment, Xiao Cui Shen gradually remembered the grievances he had suffered in the Cui family over the years.

When he was young, he was secretly mistreated by the so-called grandmother, and his father knew about it, but he didn't say a word.

He came to this world naked, and his mother left nothing for him.

No one in the world loves him.

As he thought, his eyes reddened and the tip of his nose began to sour.

The man in the Taoist robe admired his weeping gesture, and raised his fingertips to wipe away those tears for him: "Instead of expecting others to love you, you should be stronger." Someday, to become the true owner of this mansion...... Even, become the master of this dynasty. Loved by all the people and admired by the world...... By then, there will be a lot of people who will love you. ”

Xiao Cui Shen was ignorant: "Can only be loved if you are in power?" ”

"Yes, only when you have power in your hands can you be loved."

The words of the robed man, like a red-hot iron, were deeply imprinted on his heart.

Admittedly, he was bewitched.

The tea on the imperial case dripped to the ground, and it also wet the back of Cui Shen's hand.

Cui Shen came back to his senses and suddenly laughed.

What is it to be bewitched, it is obvious that he is ambitious and full of resentment against this world, so he will easily follow the route set for him by the thief Taoist.

has no feelings for her father, and she can draw a knife against the eldest princess who raised her......

He was born a bad seed.

Cui Shen stepped out of the imperial study with an expressionless face.

The sky is getting late, the sky is showing a dim orange, a few twilight crows slowly skim the treasure hall Huaqiong, the palace lights are empty, and the palace maids who pass through the courtyard on weekdays do not know where they went.

The silence of the palace was terrible.

He stood for a moment and called, "Someone." ”

No one answered.

Cui Shen frowned and raised his voice: "Someone!" ”

After a long time, a eunuch hurriedly ran over: "Childe! ”

"Go and bring Sima Hualing over."

The eunuch replied, "Eh", and hurriedly went to do it.

Before he could run a few steps, Cui Shen said again: "Wait." ”

The eunuch was cautious: "What else is the matter with the son?" ”

"It's dusk, why don't you hold the lights in the palace?"

The eunuch was in a trance, and was stared at fiercely by Cui Shen, before he knelt on the ground in horror: "Back to Gongzi, rumors are flying in the palace, saying that Xiao Jungong has come back with soldiers and horses!" He also said, and said that you coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the following crimes were treacherous, but I was afraid, I was afraid...... Now everyone in the palace is in danger, and there is a big chaos in private! ”

The early autumn evening breeze blows by, with a slight coolness.

Cui Shen sneered: "They are afraid that I will be killed by the rebellious army, aren't they?" ”

The eunuch's head was lowered even deeper.

Cui Shen walked to the verandah on the side, as if muttering to himself: "What is Xiao Xuance, since I occupy this palace, there is no reason to give up power......

He walked all the way to Sima Hualing's dormitory.

The dormitory was deserted, and there was not even a palace person to serve.

He pushed the fan away.

Good night
