Chapter 66: Brothers
The capital, the East Palace.
Zhao Qi, who was holding a pot of unknown wine in his hand, walked drunkenly to a side hall.
In the past, the East Palace of Yingying Yanyan is extremely quiet today, except for the guards who can appear in the field of vision every other distance, there is no longer a palace maid eunuch.
These guards belonging to Jin Wuwei stood motionless in all corners of the East Palace, not saluting this drunken man who was still the crown prince, as if he couldn't see him at all.
Zhao Qi, who was swaying, stepped under his feet, crashed into the side hall and fell to the ground, but he still remembered to hold the wine jug in his arms.
Looking at the safe and sound wine jug in his hand, Zhao Qi struggled to get up, but he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he couldn't get up, and shouted angrily: "Come on, come on, you dog minions who don't have long eyes, don't you help Bengong up!
No matter how Zhao Qi shouted, there was still no response in the empty hall.
Zhao Qi, who was shouting to himself, shouted for most of the day and didn't see anyone come out, muttered a "waste", then simply spread out his body, lay on the ground, picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, but the lying figure made the wine in the wine jug pour on his face instantly, and in an instant, Zhao Qi sat up and wiped his face full of wine indiscriminately.
"Brother Qi!"
A voice with surprise suddenly sounded in the empty hall, Zhao Qi slowly turned his head, and looked into the depths of the hall with confused eyes.
A chubby figure burst out of the darkness of the hall in an instant, and crawled towards Zhao Qi with his hands and feet at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with the round figure.
Zhao Qi's eyes were still confused just now, and when he saw this round figure squatting in front of him, he immediately grinned his lips, got up quickly, swept away the somewhat shaky figure just now, sat cross-legged on the ground, stretched out the palm stained with wine, gently stroked the head of the figure, and said very happily: "Brother Ming, why are you here?"
Zhao Ming let the palm of his hand caress the top of his head, put his fat cheek on Zhao Qi's palm, and rubbed it affectionately, like a docile cat, "Brother Qi, have you come to see me?" It's cold here, and there is no one to talk to me, Brother Qi, can you stay and talk to me?"
Zhao Qi glanced at the hall behind him, which looked a little gloomy, shook his head in a daze, pulled up Zhao Ming's hand on the ground, and stood up a little swaying, about to go outside, but he couldn't pull it, so he said to Zhao Ming: "Brother Ming, go, go out with me, go to my hall, where is it warm, let's not stay here." ”
Zhao Ming shook his huge head, looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "No, Brother Qi, they won't let me go out, they're staring at me, I can't go out, can you stay?" looked at Zhao Qi expectantly, expecting Zhao Qi to say a "good" word.
Zhao Qi inexplicably followed Zhao Ming and glanced around, but in this deserted hall, apart from the two of them, there was still half a figure, "Who do you say is staring at you?" Brother Ming, come with me, I'll take you out, we are the prince, who dares to stop us, you get up!"
But no matter how he pulled, Zhao Ming still sat on the ground without moving, and he had no intention of standing up and following Zhao Qi out.
"You don't want to stay with me, do you?"
As soon as Zhao Qigang, who had no strength, sat down on the ground, Zhao Ming in front of him suddenly said such a sentence, Zhao Qi couldn't help but rub his eyes and looked at Zhao Ming.
At this moment, the joyful intimacy on Zhao Ming's face had disappeared, and he couldn't see any expression on his calm face, so he looked at Zhao Qi quietly and repeated: "You don't want to stay with me, do you?"
Zhao Qi looked at this younger brother who felt a little close just now, but at this moment, he suddenly became unfamiliar, stretched out his palm, and wanted to touch Zhao Ming's face.
It's just that the palm of his hand hasn't touched Zhao Ming yet, but Zhao Ming in front of him suddenly pounced on Zhao Qi, the fat and generous palm instantly grabbed Zhao Qi's collar, and roared with a hideous face: "You're still complaining about me, aren't you? You're still blaming me, right? You don't want to see me, you don't want to see me at all, yes, you're hating me, you hate me!?"
Zhao Qi looked at his younger brother as if he was a madman, grabbed Zhao Mingdi's shoulders with both hands, and said, "I don't blame you, how can I blame you, I'm your brother, I won't blame you, you go with me, come with me, don't be here, okay?"
But Zhao Ming didn't seem to hear Zhao Qi's pleading, but directly pressed his fat body on Zhao Qi's body, his hands still grabbed Zhao Qi's collar, and roared angrily: "You are not my brother, you are not! You are the prince, you are the prince, I am the king of Jin, you hate me to death, right? Yes, you must hate me to death, without me, you will not be locked up in the East Palace for more than ten years! Without me, you should be a veritable prince, you say you hate me, right, say?!"
Pressed by Zhao Ming's mountain-like body, Zhao Qi seemed to be out of breath at the moment, supporting Zhao Mingdi's body with both hands, but said in his mouth: "I don't hate you Brother Ming, I don't resent you, you are my brother, I will never blame you, Brother Ming, you are obedient, let go of me first, I'll take you out, okay?"
Zhao Ming still looked at Zhao Qi angrily, his broad forehead was tightly pressed against Zhao Qi's face at the moment, "No, you hate me, you can't not hate me, I caused you to lose that throne, I caused you to stay in this deep palace for more than ten years, I caused your mother to die of a violent illness, you won't not hate me, say, Zhao Qi, you hate me, you want me to die, right?"
Zhao Qi's head instantly became blank, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he pushed Zhao Mingdi's body away, got up directly from the ground, rode on Zhao Ming, who was lying on the ground, grabbed Zhao Ming's neck that was almost invisible with both hands, stared at Zhao Ming with a look of anger that he had never seen before, and shouted loudly: "What did you say? You repeat Zhao Ming, how did my mother die, you say, you tell me!"
Zhao Ming, who was choked by the neck, made a strange sound of "heh, cough" in his throat, and a smile appeared on his face, "I killed Zhao Qi, I killed him, you must want me to die now, right? Kill me Zhao Qi, come on, kill me!"
Zhao Qi, who couldn't hear anything, only cared about pinching Zhao Mingdi's neck hard, and there was no emotion on his hideous face, until Zhao Ming's flushed face began to gradually turn blue, Zhao Qi came back to his senses, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he immediately let go of his hands and looked at Zhao Ming who was coughing violently at a loss.
Suddenly, Zhao Qi smiled, a little lonely, a little disappointed.
"Brother Ming, whether you believe it or not, I don't blame you for the things you did back then, really, I have told my father countless times, I don't want to be the prince, I really don't want to care about these courts, I just want to be a free prince, every time I see you enter and leave the palace freely, I am very envious, I can't wait to change identities with you, but my father doesn't agree, the teacher doesn't agree, and the queen mother doesn't agree, but I know you want to, I know you must be a good prince, all you do is want the position of the prince, so I don't blame you, if you really want to blame, I will only blame my father for why he didn't agree, I will only blame the teacher, obviously I am not a rotten wood who is a prince, he just asked me to make a piece of jade, but I didn't expect that even my mother would be able to do it, Zhao Ming, even if you wanted to kill me back then, I don't blame you, but if you killed my mother, I really can't forgive you....."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Ming indifferently, with pity and ridicule in his words: "But even if you are like this, I still can't kill you, after all, after all, you are my brother, I have always hoped that you could come to see me all these years, but now I don't think so, I shouldn't see you, I shouldn't." He turned and walked to the door.
A fat hand grabbed Zhao Qi's thigh, and Zhao Ming returned to the innocent-looking appearance at this moment, with snot and tears on his messy face, and looked at Zhao Qi's back with a pleading face, "Brother Qi, don't go, okay, okay to talk to your younger brother?"
Zhao Qi's painful face was already full of tears at this moment, he gritted his teeth fiercely, forcefully broke away from the palm that Zhao Ming was holding onto him, bent down to pick up the wine jug that fell on the ground, and staggered out of the hall, extremely lonely.
Zhao Ming instantly fell to the ground and roared loudly: "Go! I don't want you to be pitiful, I am the King of Jin, I am the prince of the high, I don't need you to be pitiful!"
Zhao Qi, who walked out of the main hall, looked up at the dazzling light in the sky as if he hadn't heard Zhao Mingdi's roar at all, lowered his head, looked at his hands, and smiled freely.
He poured a sip of wine hard, threw the flask in his hand, and instantly smashed it on the corner of the wall, only to hear a crisp cracking sound.
Zhao Qi straightened his messy clothes, and after a while, he reverted to the prince who had been having fun in the East Palace all day, and walked drunkenly towards the outside of the side palace.
In the main hall, Zhao Ming, whose whole body was curled up on the ground, smelled the bursts of wine from the corner of the wall, raised his face with a cloak of hair, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, looking at some, a little crazy, suddenly got up and began to run in the hall, just because he was too fat, he didn't run far, he was in a big shape, lying on the ground, with a strange smile in his mouth, staring at the beam of the main hall tightly, and said to himself:
"We're going to die, we're going to die, hahaha!" shouted louder and louder.
Totally a madman.
