I didn’t use too much for dinner. I just talked to her about my son. I felt

    bored and could not relieve me. I put down the tea cup that I had been rubbing

    for a long time in my hand. Even though I didn’t give any hope, I got up and

    pushed open the door. I tentatively took a step outside—even if I can’t leave

    this square, it’s good to breathe air in the yard.Unexpectedly, the guard at the gate did not say anything to stop me, even

    letting me take a step outside without frowning, and another step... until I

    was about to complete a full circle along the courtyard and touched it to the

    side. At the gate of the temple, the two people still maintained their

    original postures, guarding the door as if they were sculptures.Under my surprise, there was also the joy of finally seeing the sky. I didn’t

    care much. I pushed open the side hall door forcefully. I was about to walk

    out, but I saw two guards guarding the hall door facing me from left to right.

    Salute, there was a "thump" in my heart \- surely I still can''t leave this side

    hall? I''m too naive...But they just said respectfully in unison: "I have seen your Highness." Then

    they stopped moving, as if they were waiting for me to speak."Uh, no courtesy." I waved for them to get up. I walked out slightly while

    paying attention to their expressions. Seeing that they were just standing

    still with their eyes down, as if they had no intention of embarrassing me, I

    just wanted to leave quickly, but I couldn''t help but asked cautiously, "This

    king... is going to the Royal Garden for a stroll, you guys, don''t you stop?"When I asked these words, let alone these two guards who were looking at each

    other, even I myself regretted that I couldn''t slap myself--this tone was so

    humble and ridiculous, it seemed that it came from a prince''s mouth?Fortunately, they just froze for a moment and then replied in unison: "Don''t

    dare to be a humble job!"And the guard on the right side hesitated for a while and explained in a low

    voice: "Your Majesty has instructed you to come and go as you please, and you

    can''t block it. It''s just that you will follow along at all times to protect

    your Highness''s safety."——Oh, it turns out that my ban on foot has been lifted.It seems that the communication with her just now is not useless. Although it

    is still inevitable that someone will be monitored in the name of protection,

    it is better than being depressed in that room.How long did I understand the essence of having fun in suffering?I laughed at myself and acquiesced to the two guards following behind me every

    step of the way. I copied my hands and walked all the way to the imperial

    garden in my memory.There are a lot fewer people in this palace. After walking for nearly a cup of

    tea, I haven''t even encountered a palace attendant. I have already cycled

    twice and was stopped by the guards on patrol for questioning. The other party

    was frightened and saluted. , And then teach me the routine of leaving

    hurriedly after pardon, not a little bored.Finally arrived at the destination of the walk, as expected, there was no one.

    When I raised my head, a round of lonely moon was cold, when I lowered my

    head, only the shadow of the long stalks stood alone-if it had been before, I

    would have been accompanied by her behind me, even if it was quiet, but never

    lonely, looking back, what you saw would be enough to warm the whole heart.But now, I''m the only one, silent and silent with the guard who is

    accompanying me. The warmth is no longer, the spare time is embarrassing and

    at a loss.——What if someone follows?Those people are not you after all.With a silent sigh, I walked around a few low bushes and stroked the rugged

    lines on the side of the rockery. Following the trace, I moved my steps and

    walked into the depths. The guards behind me were not far away. The distance

    set aside is not enough to teach people.Suddenly, my steps condensed, and I looked intently at the gap in the dark

    part of the rockery, and it took me a while to make sure that I was not

    dazzled.After thinking about it, he slid away the two guards: "You are farther away,

    this king wants to be alone."Probably my tone was too cold and tough to be violated; or it was expected

    that the depths of the rockery were in an endless loop, and there would be no

    danger. The two were not suspicious. Instead, they stepped back obediently and

    waited.I walked a few steps forward casually, always falling in their sight, I slowly

    approached the shadow of the rockery, got closer, and finally saw the full

    picture of the person hiding in this corner.It was a very young palace attendant, dressed in the lowest level of clothing,

    with his hands on his knees, bending over in the crevices of the rockery. If

    his eyes were shining in the moonlight, I would not have found him by chance.

    exist.It was these beautiful amber pupils that caught my attention-more lucid and

    lighter than Jiang Zhuo. If you think about it carefully, you should be much

    more naive and ignorant than Jiang Zhuo."Are you... Zizheng?" Trying to recall his name, I lowered my voice and asked,

    not only for fear of attracting the attention of the two guards, but also for

    scaring this shrunken and thin figure.——This kid, hiding here alone, is he being bullied again?I remember that the last time I saw him, I was also tricked by a group of

    small palace attendants.I looked at him worriedly and softened my voice softly: "Don''t be afraid, I

    won''t hurt you."After waiting for a while, when I was considering whether it would be better

    to leave here and let him lick the wound alone, he finally raised his head, a

    bit of dumbness in his immature voice, which made people feel pity: "King

    Ling... Your Highness?""It''s my king. Why are you here?" I smiled at him, and I leaned sideways on

    the rockery, hiding his figure, pretending to look up and admire the moon, and

    asked quietly."This is my secret cave." He also looked at me with a soft smile, his long

    forehead concealed his expression, but it seemed to reveal a gloomy sadness,

    "However, now it is no longer a secret.""It''s okay, this king just happened to pass by, and found you by accident, and

    I forgot everything when I got out of here," I understood what he meant, and

    quickly soothed, "It''s still your secret cave."——At a young age, I have to bear too much. I am afraid that I will be too

    depressed. How can I break this shelter that belongs only to him?"The palace gate has already been keyed, won''t Your Highness go back to the

    house?" He rubbed his knees and asked me when he raised his head."Oh, the king thinks too, but he can''t go back," I smiled helplessly, "the

    emperor is not allowed to leave the palace."——Kuang Xiqing imprisoned me in the palace. There are not many insiders, but

    definitely not many, depending on whether the explanations they have learned

    come from the officially approved version.He is still young, and some things are not suitable to tell him, but also

    because he is still young, there may be less scrupulousness to talk to him

    about some things.Suddenly, there was a bit of Gu Qianwang who was confiding in him, and he

    spoke several times, but in the end he swallowed silently.Who can talk about this worry?"Fine, this king is leaving first." Saying goodbye to him, I turned to leave.But he heard him whisper from behind: "If your Royal Highness is interested, I

    can send you out of the palace."After a pause, I resisted the surprise, slowly turned sideways, lowered my

    voice and asked, "What did you say?""To repay your great kindness," he looked at me without retreating, with an

    inexplicable light in his amber eyes, "I can help you get out of here."His eyes seemed to have a deceptive power. I did move for a while, but

    suddenly I woke up in the next moment-after thinking about it a few times, I

    finally shook my head and refused: "No, it''s too hard for you."——It''s just a small effort, how can it be regarded as a favor?I can''t teach a teenager who has only one side with me to take such a big

    risk."His Royal Highness, you don''t need to worry about me... If you make up your

    mind, leave a piece of red cloth in this rockery," he stood up leisurely while

    supporting the rockery wall, raised his head and looked at me with a soft

    smile, "Zizheng Will take you away overnight."The way he said this, with confident confidence, he was different from the kid

    who taught others to bully at that time."Anyway, thank you for your kindness." I looked at the sky. It has been some

    time since I came out. I talked with him again. The two guards should be

    suspicious. A little nod counts as farewell. I turned and walked out of the

    rockery, the same way. return.——Although he repeatedly refused, he still wrote down what he said.But I didn''t expect it, but it became a truth.On the second day, Jiang Zhuo came very early, just as I was having breakfast,

    she sat beside me without seeing me, watching my meal quietly.Teach her to look awkward, I put down the tableware and actively invited,

    "Have you used breakfast? If not, let''s go together.""Okay." She responded immediately, and ordered the maid to add a pair of bowls

    and chopsticks, and slowly scooped a spoonful of millet porridge. Although she

    didn''t use too much and was not fast, there was always a slight smile on her

    mouth, seemingly In a good mood.Dining separately, as if no one would be the first to break the silence of

    this moment.For a time, even the sound of the cups intersecting was almost inaudible.After a long time, glanced at her dress, I swallowed the porridge in my mouth,

    and asked casually, "I just came over after the meeting?""Yeah." Wiping the corners of her mouth with silk, she responded in a low

    voice, glancing at it with a puzzled look, as if asking why I mentioned it."Speaking of it, I haven''t attended a court meeting for many days." Looking

    back at her impartially, I smiled calmly, but I was a little nervous in my

    heart."Do you want to participate in politics?" She took the tea cup from the palace

    attendant and played with the tea cover in her hand, her expression

    indifferent, not discerning happiness or anger.I didn’t do dodge, nodded generously, and even half-seriously and half-self-

    deprecatingly replied: "This king has rarely been absent from the court

    before. After so many days, I am afraid that the impeachment of the admonisher

    is full of impeachment cases. Right?""That''s not enough," she actually followed my words and joked, her eyebrows

    were slightly bent, and she couldn''t figure out her thoughts, "but there are

    still three or two books."Just when I thought the topic was getting over, I listened to her and suddenly

    said: "Also, you are well-trained. If you are not too tired, join me in the

    meeting tomorrow.""Yeah." After answering, there was nothing to say.——I want to go to the dynasty meeting, one is bored, and the other is to see

    the changes in the dynasty with my own eyes. It may be that she is worried

    about her exposure, but refuses to admit it.Unexpectedly, she promised to be so relaxed, which saved me a bit.Half of the manuscript was typed, and a lot of the lay-up was out of use, and

    while he was relieved, I couldn''t help feeling melancholy—why could I no

    longer speak freely in front of her?Even the words must be half-covered, trying desperately to speculate on the

    other party''s true meaning, as if through a layer of fog, the end of the light

    is never seen.In fact, she and I are tacit understanding, but the pimple always exists. If

    you don''t pick it up, it will only intensify and rot completely in the

    bottomless darkness.
