Derong still remembered that when he was seven years old, his father, who was the imperial physician in the palace, did not leave the palace for several days and nights in order to pity the queen's fetus.
The mother was worried and took advantage of the fact that she had been the Empress Dowager's personal maid and handed her a sign to enter the palace.
Before leaving, his mother put her younger sister, who was less than one year old, into his arms and told him: "Take good care of your sister. Your father and I will be back soon. Also, remember to do your homework, Master, as your father will ask you when he comes back."
"
Derong hugged his sister and quietly touched her cheek with his hand.
When he was only seven years old, he was fretting over an obscure ancient text while coaxing his sister to sleep.
My father once said that Queen Xiaomin's pregnancy was stable, and if she gave birth to a prince, he, as the imperial doctor responsible for caring for Queen Xiaomin, would definitely receive many rewards.
When the time comes, you can use this money to make some arrangements and send Derong to the Imperial College to study.
He was not worried about his father. What he was worried about was what he would do if his father took him to the Imperial Academy and he couldn't compare with those wealthy young men.
After one night, neither father nor mother came back, but many palace guards came.
They broke in ferociously and took the whole family into the courtyard without explanation.
He was also pressed in the middle of the courtyard, with his sister in his arms crying until her voice became hoarse. He could only cover his sister's mouth and feel her tears wet the palm of his hand.
The palace guards read the imperial edict in front of Manfu.
The wording of the imperial edict was as obscure as the ancient text he had just read, but De Rong understood the whole story from his grandmother's defense.
His father, who was from the Xinglin family and had excellent medical skills, failed to diagnose the abnormality of Empress Xiaomin's fetus in advance, causing Empress Xiaomin to die in childbirth.
His father had been executed by the Holy Emperor's decree, and there was no news about his mother who had entered the palace with him.
His grandfather was held on the ground by the palace guards. He cried and defended his son: "Hua Mai is the pulse condition most easily diagnosed by medical practitioners. How could my son not even be able to diagnose the abnormal fetal position?"
"The Holy Spirit clearly shows that there must be something wrong with it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, blood splattered on Derong's face.
Grandfather's body fell down.
In desperation, my grandmother wanted to fight the palace guard who killed my grandfather.
Another stream of warm blood splashed onto Derong's face.
The sister in her arms finally stopped crying. She didn't understand anything and actually giggled at Derong whose face was covered in blood.
Derong was paralyzed on the ground. He had no time to grieve for his family. He was so frightened that he could not say a word.
Fortunately, the Holy Spirit's will is not to massacre everyone.
After killing two old men as a warning to others, the Derong family, the male one was sent to the army and the female one was sent to the Jiaofang Department.
But the seven-year-old Derong Monk's infant sister was still young and seemed to have no other choice but to die.
Derong's uncle knelt in front of the palace guard and said: "The mother of these two children is the Queen Mother's personal maid. The Queen Mother may not miss her. I hope the government will show mercy for the Queen Mother's sake."
At that time, the imperial decree inviting the Queen Mother to Mount Wutai had not yet been issued, and the Queen Mother was quite majestic in the hearts of the palace guards.
The palace guard hesitated for a moment.
The uncle quietly pushed a small wooden sign to the palace guard and said: "More than half of the money in the family has been deposited in Yongtai Money House. This is the certificate. My family is in ruins. You can take it as much as you like. I just ask the official to leave a way for the two children to live."
."
The palace guards were still moral and accepted the offer silently. When escorting the family members out, they deliberately left a gap for Derong, allowing Derong to escape with his sister in his arms.
Even if Derong, a seven-year-old child with a sister who was less than one year old, escaped, there would be no way out.
He only remembered that his mother often talked about the kindness of the Queen Mother in his ears, so he thought about going to the Jiang family, the Queen Mother's natal family.
He didn't know where the Jiang family was, so he begged and asked all the way. During this time, his arm holding his sister was so sore that he didn't dare to let go.
The younger sister kept crying. Derong didn't understand anything, so he lifted up his clothes to feed his younger sister like his mother.
But the younger sister couldn't get any milk at all. Just when the two children were about to faint from hunger, they finally found the Jiang family.
But they were unlucky. As soon as they arrived at Jiang's house, news came out that the queen mother had been invited to Mount Wutai.
How could the Jiang family take in these two sons of guilty ministers if they could not protect themselves? The concierge gave Derong some money and then kicked Derong out.
The money was quickly spent, and Derong was really desperate, so he wanted to throw away his crying sister in his arms.
But as soon as this idea appeared, Derong suppressed it.
Before his mother left, she told him: "Take good care of your sister."
The aunt who entered the Jiaofang Division tried every means to contact the people left in the palace by the Queen Mother.
Hua Jincheng came out and found him.
"Do you want to live?"
"think."
"Want to take revenge?"
"think."
"Follow me to the palace."
"What should I do about my sister?"
"She has her own place to go."
Derong remembered that his father once taught him to become a man who stands upright.
Seven-year-old Derong didn't know what entering the palace meant. By the time he knew it, it was too late.
Although Hua Jincheng saved his life, he loved torturing people and treated him no differently than an ordinary palace official.
The hardships he ate were no less than wheat, and he could not survive or die.
Hua Jincheng has the ability to turn animals into obedient people, and also has the ability to turn people into cruel animals.
He once thought he would become an upright man, but in the end he could only become a lowly slave.
After he made a mistake, he was beaten black and blue by other young eunuchs, and fell in a snow nest and almost froze to death.
Then, he met the fifth prince.
The unruly and arrogant fifth prince.
Because of the birth of the fifth prince, Empress Xiaomin had a difficult delivery, and her father and mother, who went to plead with the Empress Dowager, died in the palace. As a result, the whole family was killed, and he could no longer become an upright man.
But it was because of him that he pulled himself out of the hell gate and left the hell of the Beast Garden.
Derong felt that Hua Jincheng scolded him well.
He is just mean.
It was obvious that he approached the fifth prince with the mentality of destroying him, and that he was in an abyss, but in the day-to-day interactions, he developed undue pity for the fifth prince who was sensitive to lack of love.
Even fell in love with him.
One day he had a sudden idea that the fifth prince was as old as his sister, so he undressed the fifth prince.
Let the fifth prince suck his nipples like a sister, no, like a child longing for his mother.
At that moment, they all reached unprecedented comfort.
They are the only ones irreplaceable for each other. The deep palace is too cold, and there is no warmth except each other.
The fifth prince has already embarked on the right path under the leadership of King Xiaoyao and Mr. Gu.
How could he be willing to drag him into the abyss again?
The palace remains quiet.
Derong knew that the Queen Mother and Hua Jincheng were waiting for his reply.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Derong's mind.
The memory of studying, the memory of ransacking the house at the age of seven, the memory of being in the Royal Beast Garden, the memory of being with the fifth prince...
Finally, Derong turned pale and said: "The Queen Mother, the fifth prince, he is innocent."
