Chu Xing stood there firmly, looking at Xie He who shrank at the foot of the bed with timid eyes, his heart was cold.
After a long time, he whispered: "Your Majesty, don't you recognize me?"
Xie He stared at him with dark eyes, as if he was a terrible demon, biting his lips and not speaking.
Chu Xing felt sorry for him, he stretched out his hand to hug Xie He and comfort the trembling of his shoulders, but before touching him, he saw Xie He crying suddenly, looking at him with terrified eyes: "Don't No... no more! Please let me go... please..."
Chu Xing's hand was frozen in mid-air, and his voice was difficult, and he said slowly: "I won't do anything to you."
Xie He blinked his teary eyes, as if he didn't believe it at all, and still looked at him with that vigilant and fearful gaze.
"I won't touch you." Chu Xing put down his hand, his voice slumped, Xie He's frightened expression was like a knife stabbing at his heart, and the pain pierced his heart. He forced himself to remain calm, paused, and said, "Your Majesty, you have slept for a long time. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat? Shall I get someone to prepare it for you?"
Xie He still didn't answer.
Chu Xing sent someone to prepare meals, but he didn't approach, fearing to frighten Xie He, so he asked a maid to serve Xie He's meal.
However, Xie He looked at the table full of rich food, his stomach was screaming, but he refused to move. Instead, his expression became more frightened, as if what was placed in front of him was not a food, but a heartbroken poison to send him on the road.
Chu Xing clenched his hands tightly, not wanting others to notice His Majesty's abnormality. He drove the maid out and threatened her not to reveal a word about what she had seen and heard here. Don't you like it?"
Xie He's body trembled, he looked at Chu Xing with terrified eyes, and said tremblingly: "Are you going to kill me..."
Chu Xing froze, "Why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"
Xie He raised his eyes to look at him, and there was an extremely suppressed forbearance in his black eyes. He said with tears: "What about your mother... You are my mother's person, right... She asked you to kill me, and she is finally going to kill me..."
"Please let me see my mother, okay, I will be obedient, please don't kill me, I am still useful..." Xie He begged in a low voice, the deep resentment hidden in his eyes flashed away, and then Looking at Chu Xing with flattering and hopeful eyes, he said: "You, you can do whatever you want to me, I will be very obedient... I won't resist... Please let me see your mother, okay?"
Chu Xing's fingertips pierced into the palm of his hand. Only pain can keep him calm. He tried his best not to look fierce in his eyes, and said slowly: "I didn't intend to kill you."
Xie He didn't believe it, and still begged: "Please..."
Chu Xing fixedly looked at Xie He, looked at his panicked appearance, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, what year is this year?"
Xie He seemed to be stunned for a while, but he still replied obediently: "Six years in Tianshun."
Chu Xing closed his eyes. In the sixth year of Tianshun, the Bian family was still the empress dowager. The Bian family was the number one family in the capital, and they were extremely honored and favored. Although half a year later, the number one family in the world will be wiped out. Still under the control of the Bian family, he is still trying to make ends meet in order to survive.
How His Majesty lived in the palace back then, he could only guess from Bian Tu's few words before his death, but now he finally saw it with his own eyes.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know how heartbroken it can be.
He finally drove the one he loved crazy, and it was he who brought His Majesty back to that nightmare.
Chu Xing suppressed the pain in his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is sick, and I can't see you now. Don't worry, I really didn't come to kill you...I..." Chu Xing looked at Xie He, and suddenly thought of What, said in a very low tone: "I am a member of His Highness King An, His Highness asked me to enter the palace to take care of you."
Xie Hewenyan's eyes finally lit up, but quickly went out, and said in a confused tone: "I don't know King An well at all, why did he send you in to take care of me?"
The little emperor is still very cautious, Chu Xing thought, and he said: "Your Majesty, don't doubt me. I know that you have been in contact with King An to try to get rid of the Queen Mother's control. You haven't told anyone about this? If I were The Empress Dowager's people must have reported to her to kill the grass and roots, but I didn't, so you can trust me, I have no need to lie to you at all."
Xie He seemed to think it made sense, and lowered his head to think.
Chu Xing said again: "His Royal Highness Wang An is very worried about your health. You have just been seriously ill. If you don't take a good rest, you may not be able to survive the day when you kill your enemy, so you have to eat well, you know?"
Xie He seemed to finally believe it, and the eyes he looked at Chu Xing were not as vigilant and fearful as before. He was silent for a while, and said, "Then you... don't treat me so well, you will... be found out."
Chu Xing had a lump in his throat.
Xie He looked at the food on the table, "They won't let me eat such a good meal... You can tell them to take it away, and just give me some leftovers. I have been eating those all the time, I can't die."
Chu Xing felt that his eye sockets seemed a little hot, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.
"Why don't you move?" Xie He looked at him suspiciously, then his expression changed, and his eyes became frightened again, "You... you lied to me, right?"
Chu Xing suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, saying in a deep voice, "It's my incompetence who made such a mistake. I'll ask someone to prepare again."
He asked the table to be removed quickly, and brought over some leftovers in a bowl, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, are these okay?"
This kind of food is not even eaten by the servants in the palace. However, when Xie He saw it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer resisted eating it, as if this was normal.
Chu Xing has been standing aside, watching him holding the bowl, eating carefully... Is this the life of His Majesty? The so-called rich clothes and fine food are all lies... His life is not even as good as that of the most humble servant.
What right did I have to accuse him of being extravagant, it was something he should have enjoyed in the first place, but he was still blaming him for being so late.
How cruel.
Xie He finished eating soon, he raised his head and smiled at Chu Xing, like a well-behaved child, "Thank you."
Chu Xing nodded stiffly, even though he didn't know what he had to be thanked for. A few seconds later, he slightly opened the corners of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, take a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Xie He smiled and said yes. Seeing that Chu Xing was about to walk out of the door, he seemed to think of something, and said again: "By the way, you, what's your name?"
Chu Xing stopped, "My name is Chu Xing."
Xie He nodded, and seriously asked, "Don't call me Your Majesty after you go out, you will be discovered, you know?"
Chu Xing remembered what Bian Tu called him, and his eyes were almost bloodshot. He quickly turned his head to prevent Xie He from seeing his strangeness, and said, "I see."
…………………
In order to prevent others from discovering Xie He's situation, Chu Xing blocked the news and released the news that the emperor was ill. He also dismissed all the servants and soldiers in Xie He's bedroom. He will not let others know the shameful secret that His Majesty never wants to be discovered. He will do his best to maintain His Majesty's dignity.
Probably this is the only thing he can do for His Majesty.
Xie He strolled around in his bedroom every day. Every time he asked Chu Xing when he could see his wife, Chu Xing said that his wife was sick, and when he asked when he needed to go to court, Chu Xing said no, and he later said nothing. Don't ask any more, just stay in the palace obediently.
The only thing I can't bear is that I can't eat well every meal. For this reason, Xie He is considering whether to switch his personality to play. He also tried his best to act.
Until one day Chu Xing suddenly became enlightened.
On this day, Chu Xingshen mysteriously pulled Xie He behind a rockery, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it, and it was fragrant, it was a roast duck just out of the oven. Xie He, who ate cold rice and cold dishes for a few days, almost drools...
The two seemed to be meeting with spies, and Chu Xing lowered his voice: "I brought it in secretly, eat it, Your Majesty, no one will find out."
Xie He looked around. In fact, he hadn't seen anyone else in the dormitory during this time. It must be that Chu Xing was dismissed, but he still had to do it. He looked for a while and seemed sure that no one would come, so he caught When I got up, I started to gobble it up, and my mouth was full of greasy food. Hey, he doesn't like this kind of food on weekdays, but if he hasn't seen the oil star for a few days, he can make do with it.
Chu Xing stared deeply at the person in front of him, it was just a roast duck... His Majesty seemed to be eating delicacies from mountains and seas... His heart was full of pity. If he could know everything earlier... and come to His Majesty earlier, he would definitely protect him, prevent him from being hurt like this, and prevent him from being bullied by that criminal woman of the Bian family.
He stretched out his hand involuntarily, and gently wiped the corner of Xie He's mouth.
Xie He paused for a moment, staring blankly at him.
Panic flashed in Chu Xing's eyes, and he hastily withdrew his hand, "Sorry, I..."
Xie He looked at him fixedly, until Chu Xing was almost ashamed, then suddenly smiled, his charming eyebrows moved, "It's okay, thank you, you are so kind to me."
Chu Xing was stunned, and suddenly turned his back to Xie He, not wanting him to see his gaffe.
Is this really good
Such a little bit of kindness is enough to get such sincere gratitude. Has no one in his world ever treated him well? So easily moved. And such a child... ended up being forced into that.
Chu Xing's hands creaked, wishing to dig out the corpses of those sinners and flog them again!

After a while, Chu Xing turned around again and saw Xie He sucking Yun's finger.
He waited patiently, then knelt down on one knee, carefully wiped Xie He's fingers clean, looked up at the person in front of him intently, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
Xie He's expression froze for a moment, as if thinking of some painful memory, he was silent for a moment, and said to Chu Xing: "You can't do it."
Chu Xing said: "Your Majesty, don't you believe that I can protect you?"
Xie He looked at him for a long time and shook his head.
Chu Xing's heart ached, yes, for such a Majesty, how could he easily believe a stranger's promise? To break the nightmare of the past ten years, probably the only way is to kill all the people who have hurt him.
Other than that, any words are useless.
There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of Chu Xing's mouth. In fact, not only did he not protect His Majesty, he was also one of those who hurt him, and even held an unspeakable blasphemous heart towards him. If His Majesty thought of everything, he would only want to kill him...
He is truly unforgivable.
Chu Xing lowered his eyes, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Xie He suddenly smiled slightly: "But thank you, you have a heart."
Chu Xing was taken aback for a moment, the pain in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and his voice was hoarse, "Your Majesty..."
sorry…
sorry.
…………………
From that day on, Chu Xing changed tricks to secretly bring food to Xie He. Only in this way can Xie He eat with peace of mind. Seeing that Xie He's complexion gradually improved, Chu Xing's heart sank day by day.
He has no way to make Xie He return to normal, and the rumors outside are almost uncontrollable.
But at this moment, he received King An's request to see him again. Chu Xing struggled for a moment, as if he had made some difficult decision, and said, "Please invite King An to enter the palace."
Since that day, Jing Heng waited for a long time, but did not wait for Chu Xing's reply, so he ventured to the palace to see Chu Xing again in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he was welcomed in directly this time, and Chu Xing was waiting for him outside the emperor's bedroom. .
When Jing Heng saw Chu Xing, he asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"
Chu Xing said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is inside."
Jing Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you let His Majesty show up? Did something happen to him? Tell me honestly!"
"Your Highness will know as soon as you see it with your own eyes." Chu Xing's eyes darkened.
Seeing this, Jing Heng felt uneasy, and strode in. After entering, he found that there was no one in the huge bedroom. It was as desolate as a tomb. Chu Xing followed behind him, and said slowly: " I don't want people to find out that your majesty is strange, so I sent everyone here."
Jing Heng paused and looked back at him.
Chu Xing looked into his eyes, and every word he said seemed to stab him in the heart, but he didn't even have the right to be jealous: "Your Majesty thinks it's five years ago, I think... only His Majesty, Only then can he temporarily feel at ease. So, there is trouble."
He never knew before that one day he would be so jealous of someone...
Before that, he hadn't even experienced the emotion of jealousy, and now he finally knew it.
