Chapter 57
"Today is New Year's Eve, why are you squatting here alone to play with crickets? Big Brother will play with you, okay?"
??The low-alcohol and bewitching voice reverberated in the ears, tying up the atrium.
?? In a daze, Yun Yang seemed to have returned to many years ago, the city was full of lights, the city was full of stars, and the palace was lonely under the high wall, the purple-clothed youth who appeared like a ghost.
??His purple robe is extraordinarily wide, almost hanging on the ground, wrapping his torso tightly, with golden streamers flashing around the edges, making him look like a ghost sneaking in the dark.
??The golden-clothed boy who was squatting in the corner turned his head vigilantly, the longevity lock around his neck swung, and he said, "Who are you?"
??The young man in purple smiled slightly: "Passing."
?? "Passing?"
??The boy is still young, but his skin is as white as jade, his eyes are black, and he naturally exudes a witty and agile temperament.
?? "Why don't you go back to your own home for the New Year, but hang around outside?"
??The young man laughed: "It's the same as you."
?? The boy suddenly opened his eyes wide.
?? same as him.
?? Like him, parents and brothers are not at home.
??He thought that he was the only one so pitiful in the world, but it turned out that there were other pitiful people like him.
"Well. What about your parents and elder brother?"
?? "They..." The corner of the young man's mouth smiled imperceptibly coldly, and said: "They are all dead."
??"died?"
??"yes."
?? "Then you are so pitiful."
?? Teenagers sympathize with each other.
?? The young man said in a warm voice that he was not pitiful, because his parents did not love him, and he was just an unfavorable concubine.
??The young man's eyes fell on the cricket cage in the boy's hand, and he changed the subject very naturally: "Like playing with this?"
?? The boy nodded.
?? Immediately revealed a look of frustration: "It's just that I caught some little guys. I've been squatting for three days, but I haven't caught the 'Marshal Qing'."
?? "Marshal Qing?"
?? "It is the king of crickets here. There is no cricket here that is not afraid of it."
??The young man glanced at the solemn and majestic high walls of the palace in the dark night, and the little boy standing alone in the grass holding a cricket cage on New Year's Eve.
?? This is a lonely child Yeah.
?? Lonely children, the most lacking is a playmate.
?? "Big brother help you, okay?"
?? He stretched out his hand, stroking the boy with silky black hair that only reached his chest, and said softly.
??The boy's eyes were really bright, and he nodded heavily.
??The young man patiently described the various methods of catching crickets, especially the cricket king. They should not be reckless, but outsmarted.
?? This is a very remote corner of the palace. There is an abandoned lake in the center. The lotus leaves on the lake are withered, and a large piece of weeds grows beside the lake. That's why the young man was able to sneak over with his guard on his back to catch crickets.
??Because it's New Year's Eve, even if the real owner of the palace is not there, the palace is still decorated with red lanterns. Everyone hopes that the festive atmosphere can slightly fill the loneliness and emptiness in the little master's heart, so that the little master will not miss the prince and concubine so much.
?? "Why haven't you come yet?"
??The young man clenched his fists, and after asking a few words, he suddenly remembered an important matter, and asked the young man beside him, "How did you get in here?"
?? Uncle Zhou obviously arranged many guards to guard inside and outside the palace, and ordinary people dare not approach the alley where the palace is located.
?? The young man rolled his eyes, and although he was still crawling, his hand quietly touched another thing in his sleeve.
?? That's a flare.
??Although the guards are strict, the northern palace is not as safe as an iron barrel. In order to threaten the father, queen, mother and concubine, the enemy sent assassins to sneak into the northern palace more than once, intending to take him as a hostage.
?? Living in such an environment for a long time has forced the young man to develop the sensitivity and vigilance of a small animal at a young age.
??Under normal circumstances, upon hearing such a question suddenly, the assassin should show panic.
However, the young man not only didn't panic, but smiled embarrassedly, pointed to the high wall of the palace and said, "I jumped in because I heard that the princess of Changsheng Palace is very good at brewing green ant wine, and she has hidden a lot of wine in the palace. In the cellar, I wanted to steal an altar back..."
??The boy's eyes widened, and he was stunned again.
?? Turned out to steal wine?
?? No wonder.
??The green ant wine made by the concubine mother is really delicious. Although the concubine mother tells Uncle Zhou to watch him and not allow him to drink too much every time she goes out, in fact, he often sneaks into the cellar when Uncle Zhou is out on errands Steal wine and drink.
??The young man took back the signal flare and put down his guard.
??Because in the simple world of teenagers, sneaking into the palace to steal wine and drink is the same as the plot of the martial arts master sneaking into the imperial dining room of the palace to steal roast chicken in the storybook. It is thrilling and exciting, and only a hero will do it thing.
?? It is also the world of rivers and lakes that the teenagers who are confined within the high wall yearn for.
??Besides, if this person really wanted to kidnap him, or conspire against him, he could attack him in the back just now.But this person didn't have one, so he kindly helped him catch crickets together.
"Don't worry, when Marshal Qing is caught, I'll give you an altar."
?? As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle next to his ear: "Caught."
??The young man followed the prestige, and saw that a majestic and majestic cricket with a black and blue body had been caught in the spider web they had built in advance.
The young man ran over happily, took the cricket off the net, stuffed it into the grasshopper cage, raised his head and eagerly asked, "You are really amazing, what kind of insect did you just summon, how can you spit a spider web?"
?? The young man explained in a warm voice that it was a Gu worm he raised.
?? "Gu worms?"
??The Northern Territory is different from the Central Plains. The folk customs are open, and there is no strong resistance to witchcraft.
?? The boy's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he insisted on taking another look at the bug.
??The young man took out a small meat worm as white as a silkworm from his wide purple sleeve.
?? "Can I touch him?"
?? This is the first time for the young man to see Gu worms, and he is full of novelty.
?? The young man said in a gentle voice.
??The young man then stretched out his fingers, and carefully poked the meat worm's body, once, twice... Every time he poked, the meat worm would roll happily.
??"What's its name?"
??"not yet."
?? "Ah, such a cute bug, how can there be no name."
??The young man smiled softly: "I do lack some elegance and humor, why don't you get one for it?"
??The boy's eyes lit up, and he shook like a star: "Can I?"
??"sure."
?? "Then it's called Xiaobai! Xiaobai Xiaobai, how suitable it is."
?? "Okay, let's call it Xiaobai."
?? The young man agreed with a smile, then turned his head and asked, "What about you? What's your name?"
?? "Well, me."
?? The young man hesitated for a while, because his mother and concubine said that he should not casually reveal his name and identity to outsiders.
?? "My name is Yangyang, you can call me Yangyang."
?? "Yangyang? Which Yang character?"
??
?? The young man concealed his guilty conscience and replied.
?? In fact, he is not a liar, because this is his nickname, which few people know.
?? "Okay, Yangyang, I've made a note."
??The boy immediately asked: "What about you, what's your name?"
?? "Yuheng."
?? "Well, what are those two words?"
?? Youth: "One of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, Yuheng of Yuheng star."
?? "I also wrote it down!"
?? The young man bit his lower lip, and suddenly asked: "Then I gave you wine, will you come to the palace to play with me?"
??The young man nodded: "Of course."
??The other party answered so simply and without hesitation, which surprised the boy.
??The boy feels that he has never been so happy since he was a child.
??He finally has his own playmate, and he no longer has to play with the guards all over the place.
?? He is not alone anymore.
?? But Uncle Zhou would not allow strangers to enter the palace, so this remote corner became a secret meeting place for the two of them.
??Every day after Haishi, the teenager would put on a cloak, sneak out of the room, and wait for his new playmate to arrive by the abandoned lake.The eldest brother is very punctual. Every time he arrives, he is either standing by the lake with his sleeves on his back, or squatting in the grass to survey the distribution of crickets.
??The two set up traps together, and then crawled among the grass, waiting for the crickets to be caught.
??The young man also showed him all kinds of Gu worms in his sleeve. For the first time, the young man knew that there are so many magical Gu worms in the world.
?? This feeling is novel and exciting.
??The young man was able to show off to the guards all kinds of cricket kings he had caught.
?? "Brother Yuheng is so kind to me, I will satisfy whatever brother Yuheng wants."
?? The boy squatted in the grass, patting his chest and said.
??The young man said gently that he had no special hobbies, at most he just wanted to drink the green ant wine from the palace.
"Green Ant Wine."
?? The young man was a little tangled and distressed: "I can steal some more, but if I steal too much, Uncle Zhou will find out. What should I do?"
?? If Uncle Zhou tells the mother and concubine again, the mother and concubine will definitely punish him to kneel down to the family law.
?? The young man said: "If you make Yang Yang so embarrassing, then forget it. It's just wine, and it's also sold on the street."
??The teenager's self-esteem was troubled, and he couldn't hold his head up: "How can it be the same?"
??Youth: "It's all my fault for the wine bug. I miss good wine all day long. I'm not afraid of Yang Yang's jokes. Last year in Hudi, I sneaked into the wine cellars of Nahu merchants every day because I was thinking about the wines stored in the merchants. In less than half a month, he drank half of his collection of wine. The rich businessman only found out after a month, and he was furious and almost died of anger."
?? The boy wondered: "You drank so much of him, why did he find out after a month?"
?? The young man smiled narrowly: "Because I only drink, and after I finish drinking, I still put the wine jar back to its original place, and because I only choose the wine that is located in the middle, the servant in charge of the wine cellar did not return until one month later. It was found that the wine jars inside were all empty."
The young man was thoughtful, and said happily: "I see, then I will take brother Yuheng to the wine cellar to steal wine and drink it. I will use brother Yuheng's method before, and Uncle Zhou will definitely not find out. "
??The young man hesitated: "This is not very good."
?? "What's wrong, anyway, it's wine, you can brew it after drinking it."
??The young man took the young man into the wine cellar to steal wine every now and then.The prince, concubine and several young masters are not in the mansion, so there will naturally be no banquets, and naturally there will be no wine.
?? And the servants would never dare to drink the famous wine brewed by the princess herself.
??Occasionally a jar or two of wine is lost in the wine cellar. Needless to say, it must be that the eccentric little prince sneaked into the wine cellar again to steal wine.
?? Therefore, the person in charge of the wine cellar only goes into the wine cellar to roughly scan the amount of wine every day, and then checks to see if there are any rats destroying the wine cellar.
?? So he didn't know that when he didn't realize it, his little prince brought his playmates to the wine cellar to steal wine every night.
?? This lasted for almost a month. One night, after the boy finished his bath, he hugged the milk leopard and waited obediently on the bed. When the time of Haishi came, he immediately put on his cloak and quietly went to the waste lake in the backyard...
??Only this night, the boy waited for the whole night by the lake, but he didn't wait for the boy to arrive.
??The young man came back lonely. Two or three days later, he still didn't get his playmate. Instead, he waited for an urgent report from the northern battlefield.
??A group of Shuoyue cavalry trapped in the canyon for more than a month by the lord's use of formations, got advice from some expert, and broke through the eyes of the lord's formation.
?? After breaking the formation logically, it's time for the new moon cavalry to counterattack.
?? However, the other party did not.The opponent was extremely cunning, instead of fighting back, he pretended not to be able to withstand the power of the formation, and fell unconscious on the ground due to hunger and cold.The northern army thought they could close the net, and rushed into the formation defenselessly, but was killed by the opponent instead.
??That battle suffered heavy losses, and the eldest son Yun Li, who was in command of the Chinese army, was also seriously injured.
??The formation was created by Changsheng Wang Yunqingyang, and it is impossible for Shuoyue people to know, let alone break the formation.
??Unless someone in the enemy army got the draft that King Changsheng used to deduce the formation, but that draft was placed in the study of Prince Changsheng's mansion, how could the people of Shuoyue get it.
??When the generals were puzzled, Nie Wenyuan, Princess of Changsheng, received a letter from Changsheng Palace.
??The letter was written by Zhou Polu, the housekeeper of the Changsheng Palace, and it was a routine report on the situation in the palace.
??Among the trivial things, one thing caught Nie Wenyuan's attention: the steward had to change the location of the green ant wine stored in the cellar because a mouse was found to be destroying the wine cellar. Multiple empty wine jars.
??The Changsheng Palace has strict rules and regulations. No matter the guards or ordinary servants, they will never have the guts to enter the wine jar to steal wine.The only suspect is Xiao Shizi who loves to steal wine.
?? But Xiao Shizi is still young, how could he drink more than ten jars of wine by himself.
?? Zhou Polu expressed his concern in the letter. He was worried that Xiao Shizi would suffer from the bad habit of drinking at a young age. I don’t know who he learned from. I hope that the princess will write a letter when she is free, so that she can be disciplined. my little son...
??However, relying on the keen sense of smell cultivated in the battlefield for many years, Nie Wenyuan faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
??Because of the age of the youngest son, even if he is greedy for alcohol, it is impossible to drink so much.
?? After discussing with her husband, Nie Wenyuan went back to the palace in person and called her youngest son to her for questioning.
?? The young man hesitated at first, but facing his mother and concubine, he soon couldn't bear the pressure and said everything.
"Mother and Concubine, did I, did I get into trouble?"
??The young man is smart, and he quickly noticed the strangeness from his mother's expression and reaction, plus the urgent report from the north.
?? Nie Wenyuan couldn't bear it. He naturally knew why the youngest son was easily fooled.
"It's okay, Yang'er doesn't know about it."
??Nie Wenyuan comforted her softly.
??How could this child know that there is a secret passage connecting the wine cellar to the study.
??The other party's thoughts are so sinister and vicious, even a child is going to be deceived and used. If this matter is publicized, how will the couple explain to the soldiers of the Manchu battalion, how to explain to those heroic souls who died in the canyon, but if they don't tell the truth , who is responsible for this matter?
?? The teenager's eyes have already started to turn red.
?? "It was I who caused the northern border army to suffer a disastrous defeat and injured my eldest brother. I know that I must have caused a big disaster. Will my father, my father, kill me, woo."
??Teardrops of teenagers poured out like broken beads.
?? Nie Wenyuan is also heartbroken.
??Among the children, the one he loves the most is the youngest son who was born with difficulty on the battlefield, and the one he feels the most sorry for is the youngest son.If she and her husband hadn't been fighting outside all year round, how could this child be so lonely that he would be friends with an outsider who had never met before.
??The boy cried for a while, was sad for a while, felt wronged for a while, raised his head while sobbing, and said, "Mother and concubine hand me over, I'm not afraid."
?? But things did not come to that point after all.
??Because the eldest son Yun Bian took the initiative to accept all the crimes, saying that everything was due to his own negligence and misjudgment, which led to the disastrous defeat of the Northern Frontier Army.
?? "Woo..."
??Indoor lights are bright, as bright as day.
??Yuan Li looked down at the young man crying in a coma with red eye tails in the bed tent, thoughtfully, and asked Zhou Polu: "You really don't know why he fell ill?"
?? It doesn't look like a normal illness.
?? Zhou Polu vowed for the third time: "The subordinates really don't know."
?? Yuan Li nodded and looked at the imperial doctor.
?? The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "According to my judgement, the crown princess is out of breath, so I will go and prescribe the medicine."
?? Out of breath.
??Yuan Lifeng narrowed his eyes, becoming more and more puzzled.
??After the imperial doctor went down, Zhou Polu saw that His Royal Highness was still sitting firmly in front of the bed, showing no signs of leaving, so he couldn't help but insinuating: "It's getting late, Your Highness wants to stay in Dongxi Pavilion for dinner?"
?? Zhou Polu just asked politely, the main purpose is to remind this Highness, should you go back.
?? Unexpectedly, Yuan Li Jing said: "Alright, let's bring the dinner here directly. Tonight, Gu will stay here."
?? Zhou Polu was stunned.
"How dare you bother Your Highness?"
?? Yuan Li faintly: "It's okay."
?? According to the doctor, this little thing can wake up at night after taking medicine.
?? He wants to see what secret this little thing hides.
?? Zhou Polu didn't dare to say anything more, and went out worriedly to prepare meals.
??Looking at this posture, not only the little prince fell in love with the prince, but did the prince also fall in love with the prince??
??Otherwise, how could this man with so many things to do every day come here to guard the comatose little prince.
??————
??The past is thrown away, like a boulder, weighing heavily on the chest.
?? Yun Yang was trapped in a nightmare, and cried aggrievedly, until a bitter medicine poured into his throat, and he stopped sobbing.
?? When the boy woke up in the middle of the night, he opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man in black clothes and a jade crown sitting in front of the bed holding a scroll.
??Yun Yang woke up with a jerk, looked around, and pinched himself again to make sure that he was not dreaming. Fang asked in surprise, "You, why are you here?"
"It's just a coincidence."
??The young man looked down, his phoenix eyes were clear and piercing, full of inquiry.
?? "It's you, how can you be so good, you are so out of breath and fell ill?"
?? "It can't be because of the Shuoyue peace talks?"
?? "Or, you have a secret to hide from Gu, and you dare not tell Gu, so you are so worried?"
?? Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
?? Could it be that he gave away something?How did Prince Dog see it?
?? The young man's eyes were still red, and his spiritual consciousness had not yet been completely withdrawn from the nightmare. Looking at the beautiful person in front of him, he almost couldn't help but express the grievance in his heart.
?? But he knows, he is not qualified to say, he can not say.
??Otherwise, the father, mother, concubine, eldest brother, and the Northern Palace will all be implicated by him.
??The pain and sin that the elder brother suffered for him back then was in vain.
??"I……"
??The boy's eyelashes are like flying, and there is a crystal clear water color on it.
??Just waking up from an illness is always the time when people's psychological defense is the weakest.This is exactly why Yuan Li wants to stay.
Perhaps it was yesterday that when Eunuch Luo brought the news, he just happened to catch the anxious eyes of the young man. Mr. Yuan Li faintly felt that the sudden illness of the young man in front of him was related to that news.
?? Yuan Li asked: "How?"
?? The boy quickly shook his head.
"It's nothing. I... I just feel homesick all of a sudden."
??He is really crazy, how could he almost tell the truth to Prince Dog.
??The dog prince is the sworn enemy of the father and Changsheng Palace, and his nose is so sensitive, even if he only said a little, he can follow the clues and find out everything.
?? Now that troubles have surfaced again, he must find a way to solve this trouble as soon as possible.
?? Yuan Li felt more and more strange.
??Looking at the young man who was sitting under the quilt in the room full of bright lights, looking particularly haggard and thin, he resumed his usual cool look, and said: "If there is really anything, you can tell Gu in advance, and Gu can plan it as soon as possible. If you don't Said, when it is revealed in the future, I will not be able to protect you."
?? Yun Yang thought fart.
?? How could the dog prince help him? The dog prince is probably lying to him.
??Yun Yang raised his eyebrows and said stubbornly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
??"Is it."
?? Yuan Li said without expression: "That's naturally the best."
??The peace talks are of great importance. He insisted on asking because he was worried about uncontrollable factors beyond his control and cognition.
?? If not, naturally the best.
