Lu Duoyu wrapped his hands around Lu Ronghuai's neck, he blinked his big eyes, and saw Chu Yuan lying there with a white face, his ink hair was scattered, and there were blood stains on his sleeves.

"Woo~Daddy~"

Lu Duoyu sobbed quietly, Lu Ronghuai raised his hand and touched his head, and his tone was soft, "It's okay, Daddy is just asleep, don't cry." ”

Lu Duoyu's eyes were red, bean-sized tears were still hanging on his face, he stretched out his little finger and pointed at Chu Yuan's sleeve, and said aggrievedly, "Blood ......"

There was blood on his father's clothes, and the little one was scared.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

No one thought that such a young child already knew what blood was.

Lu Ronghuai sighed lightly and reached out to wipe away the tears on Lu Duoyu's face, "It was accidentally stained, and Daddy was not injured." ”

Jiang Ni also put down his hand at this time and looked at Lu Ronghuai, "The heart veins are blocked due to excessive sadness, it's okay, I'll prescribe some medicine and let him sleep well after drinking." ”

Lu Ronghuai bowed.

"Leshu, you go and bring a basin of hot water."

"The prince will change Ah Yuan's clothes later, and he is drenched in sweat." Jiang Ni said, reaching out to take the red candle in Chu Yuan's hand, wanting to take it and put it on the side.

But Chu Yuan refused to let go, holding the red candle tightly

"I'll do it." Lu Ronghuai said softly.

"Okay, then let's go out first."

Jiang Ni wanted to take Lu Duoyu out when he left, but Lu Duoyu hugged Lu Ronghuai's neck tightly, looking at Chu Yuan with blank eyes, and the tears on his face were not dry.

"Okay, that little fish stays here with Daddy." Jiang Ni lovingly touched the little guy's head.

Le Shu prepared Chu Yuan's clothes and put them on the desk beside him.

Waiting for everyone to leave, Lu Ronghuai put him down, and after Lu Duoyu landed, he trotted over, he stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little arm and grabbed Chu Yuan's two fingers, and firmly held them in his hands.

Lu Ronghuai was rolling up his sleeves, looking down at his movements, his thin lips raised, he bent down to pick up the little guy, and gently put it on the side of the bed.

"Take care of Daddy."

"Hmm!" The little guy obediently nested beside Chu Yuan, raised his little head and kissed Chu Yuan on the face, learning Chu Yuan's movements when he coaxed him to sleep, raised his hand and gently patted Chu Yuan's shoulder.

When Chu Yuan woke up, his vision was vast, and he didn't know where he was.

"Awake?" A deep voice came from beside him, slightly hoarse.

Chu Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Ronghuai who was lying beside him.

Lu Ronghuai propped his arms, his eyes were clear, as if he had been looking at him for a long time.

He raised his hand and gently brushed the hair on Chu Yuan's cheeks, "Are you hungry?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head.

Lu Ronghuai sat up, picked up the warm water on the low table, then helped him up and handed the cup to his lips.

"Drink some water first."

Chu Yuan drank water from his hand, drank two in a row, and his dry throat was moisturized.

"What time is it?" As he spoke, he looked down to find that he still had the red candle in his hand.

"A moment." Lu Ronghuai took off the lampshade of the Night Pearl, and the soft light instantly brightened up a lot.

He slept for more than six hours.

Chu Yuan looked at Lu Yu on the inside of the bed, the little guy was sleeping soundly, and his sleeve was still tightly grasped in his hand.

"Let the music book and string rain come in and guard the little fish, I want to go to the patriarch and daddy."

"Okay, I'll let Xianshuang go over and say something."

The two packed up and walked out of the dormitory lightly.

Lu Ronghuai led him forward, the moonlight was like satin in the world, and the bluestone road under his feet added a bit of coldness.

"Is Big Brother okay?" Chu Yuan held the red candle and raised his head and asked.

"Well, the secret guard is by his side to protect, Liu Mingyue can't hurt him at all."

"How much did the prince's people lose?"

When Lu Ronghuai heard this, a chuckle overflowed in his throat, rare pleasure, "It doesn't cost a single soldier." ”

"Huh?" Chu Yuan's lips opened slightly in surprise.

"Your good royal brother was afraid of death, so he personally opened the palace gate to welcome me into the city."

Chu Yuan didn't say anything for a long time.

Although he knew that Chu Zhang was greedy for life and afraid of death, he didn't want him to have no ambition and regret his life to this point.

"It's a pity that Liu Mingyue has been planning for many days, and when she meets such a pig teammate, she loses everything."

The two chatted and came to the Shuming Palace.

Patriarch Jiang and Nie Xuxing received the news and prepared tea and waited here.

The eunuchs and maids of the entire Chu Palace have been sent out of the palace, the palace concubines have been locked up in one place, and the huge palace has become extremely quiet.

"Ah Yuan, are you better?" Jiang Ni stood on the steps of the hall, he took two steps forward and held Chu Yuan's hand.

"Well, it's no big deal, Daddy doesn't have to worry." Chu Yuan smiled lightly.

"Alright, come in and sit."

After everyone was seated, Patriarch Jiang asked, "Ah Yuan came to us late at night, is there something wrong?" ”

Chu Yuan raised his eyes and looked over slowly, taking in the expressions of Patriarch Jiang, Nie Xuxing, and Jiang Ni.

He didn't say anything, but carefully placed the candlestick on the table.

"Is this the red candle in the clan?" Jiang Ni looked carefully for a long time, and looked at Patriarch Jiang uncertainly.

Patriarch Jiang twisted his eyebrows and looked at the candle, and suddenly shook his head, "No, this candle is not a thing of my clan. ”

"And what is this?"

"This was developed by Chu Haochuan." Chu Yuan's words made everyone stunned.

Nie Xuxing: "Could it be that the Lord of Chu has mastered the secret recipe of the red candle?" ”

Jiang Ni: "The patriarch said that the island has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and no one in the world can develop such a special red candle. ”

Patriarch Jiang was attentive and unique, and he suddenly said: "Looking at the color of this candle, the front end and the back end seem to be different. ”

Chu Yuan didn't speak, his fingertips trembled, and after taking a deep breath, he raised his hand to touch the body of the candle.

Lu Ronghuai raised his hand to hold his hand and stopped him from moving further.

The man's deep eyebrows condensed slightly, and the bottom of his eyes was gloomy, "Is it really okay?" ”

Chu Yuan knew that he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter."

Then, under the gaze of the crowd, he gently touched the candle with his hand, and then pulled out the candlestick, and without the thread of the copper needle, the candle suddenly broke in two and rolled down on the table.

Chu Yuan: "I heard from the prince that there is only one red candle in the Jiang family in the world, which is enshrined in the Jiang family's ancestral hall, but there are red candles in the Lu Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. ”

Everyone nodded, and this was what puzzled them.

Patriarch Jiang picked up two candles of different lengths, sniffed them in turn, and then frowned, "This truncated candle has a strong fragrance, the same as the candles in the clan, as for this long one, it seems to be an ordinary candle?" ”

Chu Yuan lowered his eyes, "The queen mother once told me that when he left the Jiang family, he was reluctant to give up, and secretly went to the ancestral hall to cut off an inch-long candle and take it away. ”

Patriarch Jiang was stunned.

Nie Xuxing reacted instantly, "So, the red candles in the hands of the Lord of Chu and the Emperor were all cut from that red candle?" ”

Chu Yuan clenched his fingers, "The red candle fell into Chu Haochuan's hands, and in order to please the first emperor, he cut off half of the red candle and put it together on the ordinary candle, and his eyes were mixed. ”

Jiang Ni sneered, "Everyone in the world says that red candles are immortal, and he is really willing to give up such a 'strange treasure'." ”

"Because in his heart, he has found a treasure that can replace the red candle." Chu Yuan's lowered eyelashes rippled, and the wind and rain were about to be suppressed.

"What treasure?"

Chu Yuan's eyes turned red little by little, full of tears, he looked at another red candle, and when he opened his mouth, his voice collapsed, and tears fell.

"Use ...... The bones and blood of the queen mother, the blood candle made of boiling. ”

The author has something to say:

Chapter 162

'Boom'.

Thunder sounded in the calm night sky, and the red candle fell on the table and rolled several times.

After listening to Chu Yuan's recounting of the causes and consequences, the truth about Queen Chu's death was so cruel and terrible, the people present seemed to be shocked by thunder and split their souls, and they all looked stunned and speechless.

Lu Ronghuai held Chu Yuan's hand tightly, wiped away the tears on Chu Yuan's face with gentle and pitying, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and couldn't help but think that it was too easy to let Chu Laogou die, if it fell into his hands, he would definitely be unable to beg for death, and his bones would be scattered.

Jiang Ni also cried into tears.

The elder of the Jiang clan burst into tears, he trembled his hands, carefully picked up the red candle, and his voice was old and hoarse when he spoke, "The thing I regret the most is that when Xiao You was about to leave, I didn't stop him. ”

"Patriarch, don't blame you," Jiang Ni's voice was also hoarse, "Xiao You's encounter with him is not human, this is what none of us want to see, blame Chu Haochuan for being a beast that is not as good as a pig and a dog!" ”

If it weren't for Ah Yuan telling it and seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine that Chu Haochuan could be so mad, like a gambler who has reached the end of his rope, with a black heart and poisonous hands, and he will exchange his wife's life for an illusory ending.

Jiang Ni looked at Chu Yuan with teary eyes, he was only nine years old at that time, watching Jiang You being cut throat and bleeding, and the blood was taken to make candles, how painful and scared this child should be in his heart.
