"Once upon a time, there was a prince. He was born as the most noble direct prince in Fengtian. He had the most powerful maternal power in Fengtian and his mother's meticulous care. Before he became the prince, he thought that the world was beautiful and kindness was human.
By nature, sunlight should be warm."
But then one day, when he was pushed into that position, everything changed.
It turns out that no matter how hot the sun is, it can sometimes cause frostbite...
It turns out that kindness is sometimes not a good deed, but a murderous weapon.
"When he first became the prince, he picked up a dying puppy in the snow. The puppy was about to die. He bandaged the puppy to heal its wounds. However, this incident was spread to the emperor's ears by the eunuchs in the palace.
, the emperor was very angry. As a prince, how could he lose his ambition by playing with things? Kindness is the most useless thing."
"The man called Father forced his son to kill the puppy he had tried so hard to save with his own hands."
Xiao Junze is telling Aya a story.
Storytelling is not his strong point, and the sentences in this story are not very smooth, but Aya can feel the sadness.
A deep sadness.
The little child's mind was much more sensitive than that of an adult. He held Xiao Junze's finger tightly and fell asleep obediently.
Xiao Junze is different from Fuyao. Fuyao tells stories about male love and female love, and whose little palace maid falls in love with which family's little guard.
But what Xiao Junze said was too bleak.
Both are princes, but Xiao Junze and Fuyao are really very different.
In southern Xinjiang, even if the mother is lost, Fuyao has the entire Poison Valley behind him. The old man is strong and protective, so who dares to touch his grandson?
What's more, the prince holds half of the imperial power in Southern Xinjiang. Even if the emperor doesn't want it, the prince still has real power.
Although there have been many incidents in southern Xinjiang where emperors killed their sons to monopolize the imperial power, Fuyao was still much luckier than Xiao Junze and Yin Cheng.
"His Majesty……"
Aya fell asleep, and Amu also lay beside her and fell asleep meekly.
"Shh!" Xiao Junze made a silent gesture and carefully placed Aya next to Amu.
After giving Aya a thoughtful look, Xiao Junze walked out of the carriage quietly.
He also has selfish motives for keeping Aya.
As long as Aya and Amu are still around, at least Chaoyang will definitely come back to him.
Even if it's just temporary.
He could finally see her again.
"Your Majesty, don't wait any longer." The secret guard knew why Xiao Junze made people slow down. He was waiting for the rising sun.
He thought the rising sun would come back.
But he was still too naive.
Chaoyang has returned to Yin Cheng, and he has chosen Yin Cheng after all. How could he return to him?
"Let's go, speed up the process, and get to the imperial city before sunrise." Xiao Junze nodded and acknowledged...
Chaoyang will not come back, so why should he deceive himself?
…
Fengtian, Imperial Palace.
Ever since the middle palace learned the news that Xiao Junze was not dead, the entire harem was deathly silent. Everyone was living in torment. No one knew what the momentum would be next.
"Ah!" A scream came from Leng Gong, and without asking, he knew that the Leng Gong man was going crazy again.
After Xiao Junze disappeared, there were still only three women in the already vacant harem.
Queen Shen Yunrou is firmly seated in the middle palace, with the young prince in her hands, and behind her is the powerful regent Shen Qingzhou.
Lianbi, who was once 'favored' by Xiao Junze and had her dragon fetus accidentally removed, although her life was cautious and dire, Shen Yunrou had to keep her safely in the palace in order to avoid suspicion.
As for the one in the cold palace, the evidence of the Murong family's rebellion was conclusive and all the evidence was copied and executed. The reason why Shen Yunrou kept Murong Ling was to make her life worse than death.
With the Queen's instructions, is there anyone in this palace who treats a woman from the cold palace as a human being?
If Murong Ling hadn't pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, she would never have survived until Xiao Junze returned to the palace.
"Hey, you still think you are an empress? If you don't eat, you will starve to death."
"Do you want to eat or not?"
Murong Ling was awkwardly blocked in a corner by several palace maids, and his whole body was trembling.
These people came to torture her every day and tortured her every day.
"You forgot, our lady can't speak, hahaha..."
The maid's ridicule was like a knife, slicing into Murong Ling's heart.
The hatred in his eyes became more and more intense, and the fingers on the ground were bruised with blood.
Shen Yunrou...
"I heard that Xiaoluzi came secretly to bring you food last night? Madam, you are like this, why don't you forget about charming men? Xiaoluzi is a eunuch, not a man."
The palace maid pulled Murong Ling's hair and forced her to eat something that had gone rancid. "Funny things."
Another palace maid held a hot teapot in her hand and poured it little by little on Murong Ling's hands.
Murong Lingren's whole body trembled and he screamed and sobbed.
"The Concubine Lian is here!" Seeing the Concubine Lian coming, the maids restrained themselves and walked straight out.
Murong Ling leaned in the corner, her hands trembling due to burns.
"I came today to tell you some good news." Qian'er squatted in front of Murong Ling and raised her lips. "His Majesty is coming back."
Murong Ling's body stiffened and her eyes turned red.
"Ah...wu..." Her throat was hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, but the excitement still made Murong Ling lose control.
Xiao Junze is not dead, he is not dead yet.
"It's still too early to be happy. That woman Shen Yunrou will let His Majesty return to the palace?" Shen Yunrou knows very well whether the current prince is Xiao Junze's. Once Xiao Junze returns to the palace, the child's affairs will be exposed, and she will definitely take action in advance. .
"Woo..." Murong Ling pulled Qian'er's arm in panic.
What can she do? How can she do it?
"I believe that Miss will definitely find a way to spread the news..." Qian'er smiled and put the secret letter in Murong Ling's hand. "This is Shen Yunrou's fatal handle."
During this period, Shen Yunrou's people were staring at her like flies, and the news about her could not be spread...
But Murong Ling was different. Shen Yunrou only regarded Murong Ling as a dying dog.
Even if Murong Ling's failure was discovered, he would still be dead.
This is of great benefit to Qian'er.
His Majesty will enter the palace sooner or later. Killing two birds with one stone kills two people. She is the only hero of this harem.
Murong Ling's body froze for a long time, she carefully held the letter and hid it quickly.
If she wants to send it out, she must send it out. No matter what she is asked to sacrifice, she will send it out.
"Help me..." Murong Ling wrote two words on the ground with trembling fingers.
Qian'er frowned and sneered. "Miss, if you have any requests, just ask."
"I want to clean myself up." Murong Ling tidied her messy hair, and her dirty face still couldn't hide its former glory.
She is the daughter of the Murong family, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto...
Qian'er was stunned for a moment and glanced at the maid next to her. "If you don't go and fetch some water, I'll help you wash up."
Several palace maids were a little disgusted, but Lian concubine said it, and they couldn't refuse.
Leaning against the window of Leng Palace, Murong Ling looked at the falling flowers outside the window.
Tears welled up uncontrollably. She thought that these days had wiped away all her grievances.
She is the direct daughter of the Murong family, the eldest lady who was raised in the palm of her father's, brother's and grandmother's hands.
I was once... the person who was favored by Xiao Junze...
