Because of Huiming, Su Jin seemed to be in the clouds, and the feeling of lightness lasted for a whole day.
It wasn't until the sun and the moon turned around, and on the anniversary of the death of Queen Qishengchun, he was waiting in the Qiande Palace early in the morning, followed behind His Majesty, and stood in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace all the way. suddenly fell to the ground.
In fact, it should be said that since the longevity palace in front of him lost her master, he has never felt relieved when he comes to this place.
When the first queen left, he was less than eight years old, and he didn't know everything, just for the sake of his aunts and elders. It was not until his Su family collapsed overnight and his grandfather took the ten-year-old him in his arms in the sky prison, and then he slowly calmed down. I told him that the death of Aunt Immortal represented a weight that he had never noticed before: "Since the funeral of Queen Shengchun, my Su family, together with His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, the blue sky above his head has collapsed. half."
Su Jin still remembers that at that time, he was naive and ignorant. Although he was already in prison, his mother and elders around him were comforting him. Bento believed it. Hearing what his grandfather said, he still thought about his parents as heaven. Although His Royal Highness the Prince had lost his aunt, but His Majesty was still there, half of the sky was left.
But after he asked this, the old grandfather just heard some silly childish words, smiled and patted his head, his voice full of sadness and sigh: "Your Majesty is not the other half, grandfather. Originally, I thought that maybe His Highness would bend down and support himself a little bit without his wife, but my grandfather forgot that His Highness was proud of his whole life. It seems that in his whole life, he is afraid that in the end he will really fall into the words of Guo Gangyizhe..."
A prophecy.
Seeing that His Majesty was already showing a somewhat weak and hunched figure in front of him, Su Jin also showed a bit of mockery at the corners of his mouth. Now that I think about it, what he said was really stupid. His Majesty is not only the blue sky, not only has he never supported His Highness The collapsed Qingtian was even the one who broke His Royal Highness's spine with his own hands and sent him to the boundless night.
Outside the Yongshou Palace today, His Majesty didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was close to the country, and there was a hint of disappointment on his face.
Su Jin's eyes were cold, as she was used to standing outside the door, raising her hands to straighten her clothes, and straightening her waist earnestly, refusing to show herself any servile appearance.
Although the empress has passed away, even though he has been reduced to an official slave, he still prefers to believe that the empress has a spirit in the sky. If the aunt can see it, she will definitely not want to see her favorite junior in front of her. Desperate appearance.
"Your Majesty." His Majesty stopped for too long. Wang Xin, who has been in charge of this matter for the past month, stepped forward, supported His Majesty's arm, and called out with concern.
His Majesty seemed to have regained his senses because of this shout, and after a pause, he slowly entered under the support of King Xin.
Rui Wang, who was a step behind, looked at him, but his face was unmoved. When he saw Su Jin, he even raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a tacit smile.
However, Su Jin knew the reason. Seeing this, she just nodded slightly, but her grandfather's vicissitudes of life sounded in her ears again: "King Xin and King Rui, both of them are the same raccoon dog. It was the two of them who did it together, but among the two, King Rui was more cunning. You see, the court in the palace now only knows that King Rui was a rude man, but he was the one who brought down the prince of the palace. Such a big event, it is clearly the two of them hand in hand, but now he can pick himself up cleanly, as if he has nothing to do with him at all, such a person, you must keep him at a distance in the future, and remember me Su Today's lesson from the past, only protecting yourself is the most important thing!"
Grandfather's words are indeed correct. The King of Faith and his successor are now almost following the same path of His Royal Highness that day. How did His Majesty guard the Central Palace and support and favor the mother and son of the King, and today, it is also a taboo every day. With the successor and the king of letters.
Even, the Prince of Faith that day did not have to be the Prince at the beginning. After all, there was no aunt and His Majesty who became husband and wife in the future, and the Prince of Faith was even less than His Majesty's love and affection for His Royal Highness.
Even the prince's love from a young age, and the accumulation of decades, have not been able to fight the emperor's suspicion, let alone the current King Xin
But Prince Rui is different. In the current situation, if Prince Xin falls, only Prince Rui can stand cleanly on the shore, but behind him is the prince who is no longer there!
But it doesn't matter, King Xin can't compete with King Rui's scheming, Your Majesty can, as long as His Majesty's body lasts for a few more years, and after King Xin has completely followed the footsteps of the Crown Prince, he will use his life to remonstrate and put King Rui's body on the line. The wolf's ambition was handed over to His Majesty to be executed.
After serving in front of the royal family for so many years, no one else will know better than Su Jin the character of this emperor, the ninety-five supreme throne, as long as he still has a breath, he will never sit back and watch the emperor who sits down.
His Royal Highness, who was raised by his own hands, can't do it, and he can't believe in the king. The same is true of Prince Rui, who is as deep as the sea.
Su Jin took a step back and looked at the figure of King Rui, but his eyes became more and more heavy. Although King Xin deserves to die, how could he sit and watch King Rui, who is also a murderer, step on the door of his Su family and join the prince. His Highness's flesh and blood climbed to the throne
The two Xian Fei and King Rui just thought that after he ascended the throne, the benefits of restoring the prestige of the Duke's Mansion would be enough to tell him to be honest and loyal, but they didn't know that he didn't care about anything until now. The prestige of the Duke's Mansion does not care about his own life. The only thing he wants is for King Xin, King Rui, and even His Majesty to have a taste of the suffering that his Su family has endured.
At the time, his grandfather taught him every detail, and he listened to every instruction he gave, but he chose to disobey the only one of "preserving himself".
"Brother Jin, it's a bumpy road ahead for you to become a slave in the palace, but as long as you endure it, the day will come to an end."
"Remember carefully, if His Highness the Crown Prince has one day after another, as long as you can wait until that day, you will naturally have his care. If His Highness will also..." Grandfather should also not have much hope for this possibility, saying After he got here, he clenched his hand even more tightly: "If the prince never rises, I'm afraid he will die soon. According to His Majesty's temperament, although he is now waiting for His Highness to be on guard, but waiting for His Highness to go seriously, I am afraid that I will regret it.”
"Wait until then! You have to find an opportunity to see Your Majesty! You must be pitiful and pitiful, but not horrible and hateful, you must be obedient and docile, and let His Majesty remember the old feelings, so that you will have a future!"
Grandfather always had no last resort, and Su Jin did step by step to today according to the teaching that night. But his grandfather only pointed him to the way forward, he just said bumps, but he didn't tell him that the word " bumps " would be so difficult, so difficult, so difficult that he would fall down several times and could no longer go on. .
But no, my grandfather seemed to know that he would die after such humiliation and torture. On the last night before the execution, he not only pointed out the way to him word by word, but also at the last moment. Handed over to him the last burden of the Su family.
"Among the few brothers who entered the palace as slaves, you are the biggest one. After entering the palace, Brother Lang and Brother Zhuo will still need to be taken care of by you, as well as the female relatives in the church outside, waiting for you in the future. When your grandfather told you just now, if there are any alive, you will go and bring them back."
"You have been able to read since you were a child, but you can't fully believe in that kind of devious reasoning. You talk about gold and destroy your bones. No matter what others say, you have to remember that they are also the blood of my Su family, and they are your relatives. , you are a man and the eldest grandson, you have to support them, their descendants, no matter where they come from, will be descendants of my Su family."
But he couldn't do it. Su Jin's heart sank even more when he thought about it. He failed his grandfather's orders. He failed to take care of his two cousins. Seven-year-old Lang Ge'er was unable to live when he entered the palace. Next, Brother Zhuo, a strong man with a strong body, has only been tortured for a few years in vain, and he has never waited for this day.
As for the girls who didn't enter the school... Grandfather didn't need to care about her reputation, and he didn't need to care, but they couldn't suffer such humiliation since they were pampered since childhood. , he immediately went to ask about it, but even the one who lived the longest had died three months ago.
Up to now, he is alone and has no worries. He doesn't have to take care of his younger brother and bring back his daughters.
Su Jin slowly closed his eyes, knelt in the corner, followed the crowd to worship slowly in the lingering smoke of incense, and when he straightened up, he accidentally swept down the peace festival hanging around his waist.
Before Huiming, he had always thought like this, but at this moment, when he saw this festival, his heart was as resolute as ice, but a pattern was unexpectedly melted.
The corners of Su Jin's mouth trembled slightly, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much—
Before the case, His Majesty had just put the sacrificial text he made with his own hands into the brazier. King Xin, the deputy priest, stepped forward to offer incense. The three lit incense candles had just been inserted into the incense burner. His Royal Highness painted it with his own hands and hung the portrait of the first empress on the wall.
The wooden scroll of the scroll knocked on the sandalwood incense case, making a slightly dull sound.
In this silence, Su Jin, who had been prepared for this, stood up and stepped forward with a calm voice: "Su Jin is not doing well, please punish your majesty."
