In the small iron cage, the prince's uniform on the little boy's body was already dirty, but he looked at the person in the distance without saying a word, his face was expressionless, and he didn't look like a child.
In the hall over there, a woman was being pinned to the ground. She kept begging for the man in the first seat, and her posture was so humble that she seemed to sink into the dust.
But the man didn't let go.
The eunuch standing next to him stepped forward with a glass of wine.
The woman shook her head in horror. She broke away from those people and ran in the direction of the iron cage.
However, before reaching the front, he was crushed to the ground. The eunuch pinched the woman's chin and poured the liquid from the wine glass into it.
During the woman's struggle, the wine soaked her clothes, and she was in a state of embarrassment. She reached out to the little boy, her eyes full of despair.
The eunuchs who were holding him released her, and the woman struggled to climb to the cage.
She held the cage with a pale face, blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, struggling to squeeze out a few broken words, "Live... Live."
Qi Yuan abruptly opened his eyes, his chest rose and fell quickly, his eyes swept across the dark hall, and he reached out to touch the side. The warm body made his nervous nerves gradually relax.
He leaned over and put the person in his arms, eagerly looking for her smell, her breath, everything about her.
Shi Sheng was stupefied by the kiss, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"
In response to her was a more intense kiss, his actions were a bit arrogant, Shi Sheng couldn't sleep, and was forced to toss with him in bed until dawn.
Afterwards, Qi Yuan hugged her to sleep, maybe he was tired and slept very deeply.
He returned to that dream again, but at this time the feeling he had had before was gone, and he felt a sense of peace of mind.
In the dream, the woman fell down in front of him, her eyes wide open, she couldn't rest her eyes.
He saw the woman being dragged away and placed in the middle in a strange posture, with a few people dressed as warlocks standing outside, who were talking about something around the woman.
After the eunuchs and the ladies left, the man also left. He glanced over here with a cold look.
Then came the fire, the endless fire.
He curled up in the iron cage, the iron chains on his body became hot as the temperature increased, and he heard the sound of skin cracking.
He didn't remember how he left, but only remembered that when he woke up, he was already outside the palace, and the person who rescued him claimed to be his shadow guard.
And he was covered in bandages and could barely walk.
During that time, he could only spend it on the bed, and the people who took care of him didn't say much. They changed his medicine and delivered meals to him like a mechanical mechanism every day.
Never tell him about the outside world.
Until he recovered, no one taught him martial arts, reading, or even national affairs.
He stayed in that place for five years like that, and for five years someone from the harem came to take him back to the palace.
He was very familiar with the palace, but when he entered the palace, he discovered that these people no longer called him the sixth prince, but the third prince.
The third prince who has been praised as a genius since he was a child, is the most favorite of the emperor, and intends to be the heir.
Maybe he knew that he wouldn't talk much, and even in that case, his shadow guard didn't tell him in advance.
It was not until he settled down in the palace that he knew that the third prince suffered from a serious illness a year ago and was sent away for medical treatment, and the third prince had already died, so he had the opportunity to replace the third prince into the palace.
But he understands that all this was arranged by them. His appearance was destroyed in the fire, and the appearance of the third prince was also destroyed because of illness.
There are not so many coincidences, they are all arranged by them.
"Why do you do this?" For the first time, he took the initiative to ask the person who took care of him.
The man was stunned for a moment, then knelt down slowly, "Your Highness, you bear a bloody revenge, and your mission is to take revenge."
"Where's the third prince?"
"died."
"How did you die?"
"Died." The shadow guard replied as if he had trained in advance.
He does not believe.
Since then, he seems to have fallen into a huge conspiracy, and the number of people around him has gradually increased. He must follow what they said and imitate the temperament and habits of the third prince.
If he doesn't do it well, it will soon spread to the Shadow Guard, and he will be brainwashed by the Shadow Guard at night.
Said how his mother and concubine were framed and how foreigners were killed.
His mother-in-law was framed by the three princes and the mother-in-law, and the emperor mistakenly believed that his mother-in-law was the reincarnation of a fox demon, and he would subvert his dynasty.
What the emperor could not tolerate the most was that such a thing happened, so there was that fire, and even the foreigners of his mother and concubine were not spared, and the whole family was destroyed.
He was very angry at first, but after listening to it a lot, he was not so angry. These people seemed to anger him on purpose and planted the seeds of hatred in his heart.
They want to be a pawn, a pawn at their mercy.
There are surveillance people everywhere, and he has to be careful. He doesn't know what forces are behind these people, but he believes that he will find out sooner or later.
The days in the palace were boring and boring, but he walked on thin ice all day, dealing with those who watched, avoiding their surveillance, and forming his own forces.
He didn't want to be manipulated by them.
He forbeared for many years, and finally changed his office in the west.
The people outside didn't know what happened, but he knew.
Those who manipulated him staged a coup that day, but they left out the single family.
The single family is loyal to the royal family, and whoever is the emperor will be loyal to whomever they are, and it will never change.
They also overlooked him. At that time, he had already used them to connect and have his own power.
The death of the mother-in-law was all planned by this group of people, and he has checked it out in the past few years.
The coup failed, and everyone present at the time was beheaded. The emperor remembered that he had done a good job in saving the car, and forgave him for the crime of replacing the third prince, but he did not restore his identity as the sixth prince.
To the emperor, the sixth prince is dead and a thing of the past.
He is still the third prince.
After the change of the secretary of the West, he still couldn't let his guard down. He knew that the power of those people was not completely removed, they hid and waited for an opportunity.
But in the Western Civil War, his martial arts were completely useless, and from then on he could only be an ordinary person, or even worse than an ordinary person. Perhaps without the suppression of martial arts, the violence in his heart began to show.
Everyone thought that the emperor might regret listening to the slander, so when he was critically ill, the next emperor fell on him.
However, he understood that no, what the emperor wanted to say at that time was to behead him, and he used the means to prevent him from saying the following words.
He only had time to say his name, so the minister who was waiting for the ghostwriter put his name on the imperial decree.
After ascending the throne, he no longer has to be someone else.
Those who stood on the sidelines and refused to save when they saw death should all die.
And those who hide in the dark are even more damned.
Qi Yuan held the person in his arms tightly. Now that everything is settled, he has the best things in the world.
Exhausted all the misfortunes in this life, in exchange for his luckiest girl.
