Pick all the cold branches

When the voices in the side hall gradually quieted down, Jia Yu slowly opened one eye and looked around.

According to the usual practice, the servants and imperial physicians who are in a hurry should be dispersed at this moment.

Jia Yu glanced at Gong'e who was tidying up the stove not too far away, turned her gaze back, and hooked her fingers at Jia Shou who was beside her.

There was still a lot of panic remaining in Jiashou's green brows and eyes, and his face was still in shock. When he saw Jiayu woke up, he was very surprised and wanted to shout.

Jia Yu pressed the mouth tightly, and dragged it towards her.

"Don't yell, you'll call your father over in a while, and he will test you with difficult questions. If you can't answer well, you will still be scolded."

This sentence was very useful to Jiashou, and he quickly shut up submissively.But he was confused and curious after all. After holding back for a long time, he whispered to Jiayu's ear and asked as if to breathe, "Fourth brother, are you really better?"

This kid is a little silly, but he is rarely pure and kind.Now there are not many people who can miss him from the bottom of their hearts.This one in front of him is actually his own younger brother, and he said he disliked him, so how can he really let go of him.

Jia Yu's heart softened, and she couldn't help but secretly sigh.

He pouted and asked Jiashou to grab a soft pillow and put it on the back of his waist so that he could lean more comfortably. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the younger brother, and asked softly: "Qilang, answer fourth brother honestly, do you think the current Is life happy?"

Jiashou was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this sudden question meant.

If you want to say whether he is happy or not, as a prince, he has just received a reward from his father, lives in a luxurious palace, eats rare animals and animals that are seasonally available, and marries his beloved woman, his life is naturally A hundred times a thousand times happier than ordinary people.

But he often felt unhappy.

This kind of depression overflowed in his chest from time to time, accumulating in his heart, he couldn't explain why, he just felt lingering and unbearable.

"I don't know whether I am happy or not. When Brother Su treats me well, I am very happy. But when I am facing my father and mother, I am very sad. I always feel depressed and flustered, and I laugh I can’t even laugh. There’s also that Eunuch Chen, he’s coming to my place every now and then, and every time he’s giving food or play, he says it’s a gift from my father, but... my father always rewards me for nothing. What are you doing? Father, he obviously looks disgusted every time he sees me... Besides, I don't like that old eunuch at all. My mother and Su Geer scolded me..."

He didn't dare to share bitterness with fourth brother.

The fourth brother is different from other brothers, always likes to ridicule him and scold him.

But right now he didn't know what was going on.

Perhaps it was because the fourth elder brother escaped his father's scolding for him intentionally or unintentionally.

Maybe it's because the fourth brother looked at him with unprecedented tenderness and warmth in his eyes, which made him want to rely on him.

maybe……

Jiashou dragged his chin with both hands in distress, his whole body was like a wilted cub, dazed and terrified.

Jia Yu looked at him carefully, feeling a little sad.

What Xiao Qi'er said in every voice and voice is nothing more than "family affection".

However, the word "family love", which is so common, is the biggest extravagant hope.

If you can't get what you want, life is hard, even if you have the world, what's the fun?

Shichiro wasn't really a fool, he actually... felt everything.

He just can't figure out why yet.

What Chen Shiqin wanted was a perfect puppet.

But Jiashou at this moment is so imperfect to Duzhu Chen.

Compared with the status of the second elder brother as the only son of the empress Yuan, Qilang is just the son of an ordinary concubine, and his background is not even as good as the son of a noble concubine.

What's more, Qilang also married the little princess of the Tatars.

Chen Shiqin wants to support Qilang to the throne, how can the majestic Queen of the Holy Dynasty be a Tatar woman?

Therefore, advocating brotherly rivalry and making Qilang lose his siblings is only the first step. Next, let him lose his biological mother and his beloved woman. I tied the rope, and there was no one around me.

But how to say these words?

Qilang will definitely not believe it, let alone believe it, he will still stare blankly and panicked like before, or yell angrily, complaining why his bad brother said such things to scare him.

People don't grow up overnight in ease.What Qilang lacks is precisely the pain, which is far beyond the pain that he is troubled by now. Only in this way can he completely wake up from the muddy dream and transform into a true shape.

Even the pain would make him miserable.

Jia Yu subconsciously stretched out her hand, straightened Li Jiashou's slightly crooked skirt, and sighed from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes while whispering.

"Do you want to live a good and happy life in this life?" He asked Jiashou seriously.

"Of course I want to. But—" Jiashou hung his head in trouble.

"Qilang, don't be confused." Jia Yu grabbed his forearm forcefully, "Think about it before answering, do you think Fourth Brother really treats you hard?"

"Of course not..." Jiashou seemed to be frightened, and blurted out a denial.

"What about the second brother?" Jia Yu immediately stepped forward, "How is the second brother treating you? Is the marriage between you and your little concubine the second brother's decision for you? The last time you were with the second brother The house messed around and wronged the second brother, does the second brother still feel sorry for you, and didn't really blame you?"

In this way, there is indeed nothing wrong.Although he always felt that the second brother had an evil spirit that he didn't quite understand, it always made him a little scared.But the second brother never treated him badly.

And the "badness" that the fourth brother treated him was at most just hurting him a few words.Although he often feels wronged, he has never felt dissatisfied with his brothers from the bottom of his heart, let alone thinks that his brothers are bad.

But now...

"Fourth brother, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Feeling a little scared in his heart, Jiashou swallowed nervously.

He saw that the fourth brother was also looking at him without a moment.

"What about you? What do you think about your brothers? If someone tells you that your brothers are wrong, or coaxes you into doing things that will kill us, what will you do?"

In just a few words, Fourth Brother spoke very lightly and slowly, but each word was like a red-hot knife, piercing hot into his heart.

As expected... as expected!Now even the fourth brother is doubting him!

But what did he do?Why provoke such suspicion? !

The hand that was tightly grasped was stinging, and the chest tightened suddenly, and Jiashou's whole face was wrinkled, as if he was about to cry.

"...I...I didn't even think about arguing with my second brother, I didn't—"

He almost screamed.

Jia Yu grabbed him firmly, not allowing him to yell, his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"Qilang, there has been no father and son in the Tian family since ancient times. It is not uncommon for brothers to quarrel over the walls, fight for power, kill parents, and kill brothers. But this is the scourge of subjugation and troubled times. After the emperor, there must be powerful ministers. You must remember what I said to you today, no matter when and where, you must remember that the second brother and I are your elder brothers, and we are brothers whose blood is thicker than water! Brothers and sisters, you must not kill each other! If Whoever tries to sow discord among our brothers by changing the way, that person is our common enemy, you must not trust him."

He insisted on staring at Jiashou until he watched the child nod his head like a slap in the face, then he let go of his hand suddenly, fell backward exhausted, and sighed heavily.

"Second brother has never been willing to explain. He treats you well. Even if you don't understand, he won't tell you anything. But if you really don't understand anything, you will definitely kill second brother. If second brother If something happens, I won't be able to live anymore. At that time—”

These words were originally words from the heart, and they were even more worrying.It's just that when it came out of the mouth of the Fourth Highness, it was inevitable to be depressed, and coupled with his sickly and pale face, it looked even more miserable.

Jiashou was already a little stunned by the fright, so he threw himself on him and hugged him tightly, promising: "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense! I remember it well! I will listen to you!"

Although Jia Yu said that she was pretending to be dizzy just now, she was weak after all, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat after talking for a long time.

He closed his eyes and leaned on the soft pillow, rested for a while, and then he felt a little relieved, and looked at Jiashou carefully again.

"I heard from the imperial doctor that your mother is not in good health recently. She has a severe headache and is taking medicine with needles every day... You should visit her often and accompany her as much as possible to reassure her. How long will you have?" When I grow up, I can no longer act like a heartless child, otherwise I will regret it in the future..."

The fourth brother's eyes are too complicated, as if there are thousands of words and deep meanings, and the words he speaks make him half-understand.

Jiashou didn't know why the fourth brother suddenly mentioned his mother again, he was at a loss for a long time, he could only nod his head, and lay obediently beside Jiayu.
