Love your pet egg

That day, the snow was as heavy as goose feathers, covering the entire Zhaoren Palace.

The earth dragon was burning extremely vigorously in the palace, but Qin Mian hugged his body and sat on the couch shivering.

He suddenly jumped up and wanted to run out: "I want to find my mother, I am her son, she can't treat me like this! I want to tell my father!"

"Fourth!" Qin Shu stopped him and pushed him back down again, "Calm down! Don't be afraid!"

"Of course you are not afraid!" Qin Mian's tears had already rolled down, "She chose you, and it was not you who died, of course you are not afraid!"

The empress chose Qin Shu, and the one to abandon was Qin Mian.

Qin Shu's face was almost bloodless, and the boy's lips were blue and purple, but he tried his best to maintain his composure:

"Tell my father that we have no evidence. Are you going to say that we eavesdropped outside Zhaoren Palace? If my father doesn't believe us, we and my uncle and mother will have no room for change. If my father believes us, the entire Chengenhou Mansion I'm afraid we will all be implicated, we..." Qin Shu bit his lips hard, "Do you want the father to kill the mother?"

"She wants to kill me, she wants to kill her own son, didn't you hear? I won't be sad even if Father kills her, I won't!" Qin Mian wiped his face with red eyes. Face.

"I won't let her kill you!" Qin Shu squatted down and held Qin Mian's hand, "We brothers have one life, as long as we are together, she will have no chance to do it, fourth, from now on, regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, you Don't leave me in everything, the queen mother will be wary, she will not destroy both of us! After these three years, we will be crowned kings when we reach the age of 15. At that time, the emperor father will definitely establish a prince, and the queen mother will have no choice gone."

"Three years," Qin Mian murmured, "Then how will we spend these three years..."

"Live the same way, as long as the two of us are always together, uncle and queen mother won't have a chance."

Qin Mian lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Shu: "Brother, the queen mother chose you. Without me, you will be the crown prince in the future. You don't have to sit in the same boat with me!"

Qin Shu gasped: "What are you talking about! We are brothers, we grew up together, how could I abandon you after so many years of friendship?"

Qin Mian's tearful eyes were full of grief and sarcasm: "The queen mother is my own mother, she will abandon me..."

Qin Shu sighed, being in the royal family, he didn't know that fraternal rivalry is normal, he and Qin Mian would also be wary of other brothers, and it's not like he didn't regret that he didn't have the chance to be a great position.

Even making such a decision is selfish. If he tells the matter to the emperor, the empress is afraid that she will live in a secluded palace from now on. The days are as cold and bleak as can be imagined.

That's not what Qin Shu wanted either.

In all fairness, Qin Shu knew he was unfair to Qin Mian, but this was the only way he could think of to achieve both.

After that, the two princes seemed to be tied together regardless of food and lodging, and they were completely inseparable. Qin Shu expected that the queen would be able to see the clues, and he hoped to dispel the idea of ​​the queen with this attitude.

On New Year's Eve, with howling winds and heavy snowfall, Kyoto ushered in a century of extreme cold.

After the palace banquet, Qin Shu and Qin Mian bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Zhaoren Palace together.

Although the two brothers used to be in the same palace, they have always lived in two separate halls. After overhearing the conversation between the queen and the uncle, they lived together and slept on the same bed every night.

Before going to bed, Qin Mian suddenly took out a misty green glass vial from his sleeve. He uncorked the bottle, and the rich aroma of fruit wine permeated the air. Qin Shu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"You drink as soon as you eat, why did you steal it back?"

This fruit wine is very precious, because the fruit for making wine is unique to the feudal kingdom, only more than ten altars are paid for tribute from thousands of miles every year, and it can only be drunk at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

Qin Mian smiled slyly: "You can only drink one cup all year round, it's too unpleasant. When Eunuch Gao was talking to you, I secretly filled a bottle with a bottle, haha, he doesn't know at all! Brother, you take a sip of me. One bite, let's share!"

After all, it is a young man, this tribute wine is rare, and when Qin Shu was greedy, he took Qin Mian's hand and shared a small bottle of wine with Qin Mian. He smacked his lips and asked Qin Mian strangely:

"This wine is much stronger than when I drank it in Chengming Palace, do you feel it?"

Qin Mian got up and threw the empty bottle on the table, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "No, I don't think so."

The fire started in the middle of the night, but Qin Shu fell asleep, and when he woke up, his world was turned upside down.

His whole body was wrapped in white gauze, and he lay on the bed for a month. At first, he was in so much pain that he couldn't wake up. The piercing pain was like thousands of ants gnawing at the cracks in his bones. The 12-year-old boy wished he could die. He struggled and shouted crazily, and the palace people had to tie up his hands and feet.

Most of the skin on his body was festered, and brand marks covered his body. Later, when he was able to walk on the ground, he asked the palace servants for a mirror, and saw half of his ghostly face.

That day Qin Shu sat on the soft couch in front of the window of the dormitory, looking at the snowy sky outside the window.

The winter of this year was extraordinarily long, and the snow fell extraordinarily heavily and thickly, as if there was no end in sight.

Zhaoren Palace was full of snow, and long icicles hung under the eaves, like sharp and cold knives, each blade pierced Qin Shu's limbs full of holes.

The prince's capacity for alcohol has been practiced since he was a child. Not to mention fruit wine, even if he poured it with a burning knife, it is impossible for him to sleep in the fire. Everyone kept silent, only knowing that there was a court lady who was jealous and set the fire maliciously, and that Qin Mian was not in his bedroom that night.

Qin Shu understood everything.

The fire burned his face and chilled his heart.

A figure came from afar on the snowy road, very familiar, that person gradually approached, through the window, Qin Shu saw that face that seemed to be from another life, as if looking at his previous life, his eyes were hazy for a moment, and he felt as if he had fallen. In a dream, it is like an illusion.

It wasn't until Qin Mian spoke that he returned to the cold real world.

Qin Mian walked into the room, took off his cloak, clapped his hands, and lightly reprimanded: "Brother, why are you sitting there with the windows open, beware of freezing!"

He came over to close the window himself, turned around and looked at Qin Shu with concern, and asked him softly, "Brother, what are you thinking, so lost in thought?"

At that time, apart from the scars on his body that could not be removed, Qin Shu was able to walk and talk normally. He smiled meaningfully at Qin Mian, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm thinking, I'm going to join the army, fourth brother, you will be the prince in the future, and the third brother will lead the troops to fight for you. We brothers will work together to protect the Dasheng country. Are you happy?"

……

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Not long ago, the sky was still bright and sunny, but it suddenly darkened the moment Qin Shu walked out of the Chengming Hall. There was a dull thunder in the sky, and gusts of wind blew up on the flat ground. A storm was brewing and would come at any time.

The task given by the emperor to Qin Shu was to evacuate the people in the west of the city and do a good job of comforting him. He hurried to Zhaoren Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he collided with Xiaochuan Xiaoche who was rushing out.

"My lord!" The attendant turned pale with anxiety, "The concubine is gone again!"

"What do you mean disappearing again?" Qin Shu's forehead was throbbing with veins, "I told you to stay with him, why didn't you protect him well?"

Xiao Che was extremely wronged: "Your Majesty took a mirror and looked around in the palace, laughing while looking at it. Later, he said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so he rested in your previous bedroom. Xiao Chuan and I were at the gate of the palace. I didn't leave even a step, and just now a maid went in to light the incense burner and found that the empress was gone, we swear, I really never walked away!"

"If you didn't leave, Eleven Lang could disappear out of thin air in the hall..."

Qin Shu angrily reprimanded as he walked in, he suddenly stopped, Shi Shi could really disappear out of thin air, just like he suddenly fell from the sky.

Suddenly panicked, Qin Shu lifted the gauze curtain on the bed, and there was no one inside.

"You said he was looking around with a mirror?" Qin Shu asked anxiously, "Speak clearly, what is he laughing at, and what did he say?"

"The mirror, when I was in the imperial garden, the empress took it out to take a picture, and smiled while taking the picture. I don't know why he was so happy. The servants thought that the empress liked it because of looking at her appearance..."

Qin Shu couldn't laugh or cry for a while, Xiao Chuan's guess even made him think it was very possible, it really seemed like something that little stinky beauty could do.

"Then when we arrived at Zhaoren Palace, the empress stopped taking pictures of me. He was strolling around, and at first he was happy, but then he suddenly cursed, 'This bastard...'"

Xiao Chuan was in a dilemma and dared not speak further.

Qin Shu said, "Keep talking!"

Xiao Che whispered, "Your Majesty scolded, 'This son of a bitch stinks... Prince!'"

"Then the empress seemed very angry, so he ran to the bed and lay down, saying that he was going to sleep, so we didn't dare to disturb the empress again."

Qin Shu walked towards the East Palace.

----

Qin Mian burned very badly, and only knew in a daze that he was sent back to Zhaoren Palace.

The water in the Taiye Pool was so dirty that he almost vomited out his internal organs, and the mud sank in his chest cavity, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The palace man helped him scrub and feed the medicine. He also asked how Shishilang who fell into the water together was doing. The palace man hesitated and couldn't tell, and then the queen came over.

The empress reprimanded him sharply for a long time on the bed, but Qin Mian's mind was no longer clear, and he couldn't listen to what the empress said at all, only remembering that the empress mother repeatedly scolded him as an idiot.

For a moment, Qin Mian wanted to refute, the third brother is not an idiot, you also chose him first, but what happened?It was me, the idiot, who broke the ice and put you in the backseat.

Qin Mian felt that his whole body was getting hotter and his head was getting heavier and heavier, as if a steamer was set up under the bed, and he was being roasted on the steamer.

Bursts of red light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, burning his eyeballs and making him feel unbearably stinging.

Even though he didn't open his eyes, Qin Mian could feel a person standing beside the bed. That person was covered in red flames, and was burning fiercely, staring at him angrily.

Qin Mian frowned in pain, only to feel that his body was suddenly in pain like a fire, and every pore seemed to be pierced violently by a needle point. He opened his mouth, wanting to call for help, wanting to scream, but he couldn't make any sound. Come out, can only silently open and close lips:

fire Fire……

The soaring flame rolled up the curtain, and the tongue of fire quickly licked it. The huge space was filled with a burnt smell, and he saw that his skin was scorched and bruised in an instant.

He shouted in horror, his voice was as hoarse as a broken gong: "Help... help..."

The speed of the flames spreading was too fast, he wanted to escape, wanted to run, but he felt weak all over his body, he couldn't even lift his fingers, and he saw a familiar face in the dazzling red light.

At first he thought it was Qin Shu, and he stretched out his hand and begged, "Third Brother...help me..."

The boy's face was clear and handsome, but his brows and eyes were full of stern gloom. He stared at the person trapped in the sea of ​​fire through the raging fire, and whispered nervously:

"Don't blame me... Who told you that I...was born in the emperor's family... Even my mother can be so cruel, let alone brother..."

Qin Mian shook his head frantically. He finally knew who the person in front of him was. Eight years ago, he was standing in front of Qin Shu's bed like this, looking at the tongue of fire/licking Qin Shu's face, and he was muttering like this, "I know you are good to me... But one day, you will regret it... Either you die, or I die..."

The face of the person in front of him suddenly changed. The delicate face of the young man in red was as beautiful as a painting, but the eyes staring at him were like the hell Shura who came to take revenge. The young man's expression was almost distorted and angry shouted:

"You villain! You harmed my brother, and I want you to experience the burning of your body! You wolf-hearted, ungrateful bastard!"

Qin Shu came to the East Palace and drove straight all the way.

Xu Fushan was guarding outside the sleeping hall. When he saw Qin Shu's aggressive appearance, his expression turned serious, and he went forward: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jing has just taken the medicine and is resting. You are..."

"I'm here to visit the crown prince, so hurry up and report!"

"His Royal Highness just fell asleep..."

"Xu Fushan!" Qin Shu stared at the eunuch with inky eyes, his voice suddenly sank, with undeniable majesty, "Go and report!"

Xu Fushan's heart was shaken, and he lightly shook his whisk: "Your servant obeys!"

Xu Fushan turned around to enter the inner hall, but suddenly found that there seemed to be an extra door above the threshold, no matter how he tried, he couldn't get in.

Xu Fushan stretched out his hand and poked it forward with his fly whisk. As expected, there was a barrier blocking him from going in. He couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "What's so weird about this door?"

"Xu Fushan!" Seeing Xu Fushan standing by the door and waving his hands like a blind man touching an elephant, Qin Shu was very impatient, "What trick are you playing?"

Xu Fushan's face was covered in cold sweat: "Your Highness, there is something on the door of Your Highness, and the slaves can't get in. Too bad! Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The other palace people rushed over when they heard Xu Fushan's words, and their faces turned pale with fright:

"Why can't I get in this door? Go and report to the emperor!"

"Go! Go..." Xu Fushan panted heavily, "Go and invite...the national teacher...Prince Jing?"

Xu Fushan's eyes widened in shock.

It turned out that when the people in the East Palace were running around in a hurry, Prince Jing finally pushed away the people in front of the door impatiently, and stepped over the threshold by himself. He turned his head and glanced at everyone coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost!"

Then he went straight into the prince's bedroom.

Xu Fushan and the palace servants wanted to follow Prince Jing in, but there was nothing he could do. His legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground. On a midsummer day, the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen. He murmured: "See... See... hell..."
