I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 318

Spoiler: Prince Kai
·
Jinyang, the capital of the generation, and the royal palace.

In the gloomy palace room, there was an overwhelming silence all the time.

The young man sat on his front feet in a daze, his hands wrapped around his knees in front of him, his dull eyes fixed on the source of the dim light.

"This, what should I do?"

"You can't really put the queen and the young masters in order to go to Chang'an, for the position that you may not be able to sit on..."

···
"Then you can't not go?"

"With the current situation, if the king doesn't go to Chang'an, the new king will be there in the future, and he will know what happened today..."

···
"Yeah yeah······"

"The queen is always a clan, even if the king doesn't go to Chang'an, the lives of the queen and the young masters will still be lost..."

···
······
Several obviously different voices rang out from time to time in the next room, passing into the young man's ears intermittently.

But the teenager at this time is still full of confusion about what is happening and what is about to happen.

"Father, are you going to Chang'an?"

"why?"

"The empress dowager has passed away. According to the rules, the clan and princes should all thank guests behind closed doors in their respective closed countries, so as to avoid the suspicion of 'ulterior motives'..."

···
"What happened to the queen mother?"

"Brothers, why..."

"Chang'an, what happened..."

One question after another kept lingering in the boy's mind, unwilling to let go for a long time;
Even if the young man always persuaded himself: don't think about these things anymore, and try to squeeze the words "mother" and "brother" out of his mind, the whispers from the next room always dispel the young man's efforts.

As the doubtful voice belonging to the young man became clearer and more intricate in his mind, the young man's hands wrapped around his knees couldn't help but hug him tighter.

Until a low, crisp and incomparably crisp call sounded...
"Ah Qi~"

Almost as soon as he heard this soft call, a sense of relief surged into the young man's heart.

Following the direction where the voice came from, he raised his head abruptly, and when he saw the figure not much taller than himself, there was an extremely complicated smile on the corner of the boy's mouth.

"Sister..."

Slightly hoarse, even so hoarse that it was incompatible with the youthful voice, the girl's face only instantly showed a touch of affection.

He crawled forward softly, sat down next to the boy, and gently touched the top of the boy's head.

Seeing the young man pretending to be strong and then forced out a smile, the girl finally let out a short sigh, and then gently hugged the boy's head into her arms.

"Don't be afraid..."

"Aqi is not afraid..."

"good······"

Being held in the arms of his sister, who is a compatriot, the boy finally felt a little sense of security.

After a short period of adjustment, the young man who tried his best to calm himself down finally became slightly more normal.

It's just that the young man still hides his frightened eyes, and he can't help but subconsciously glance at the side hall following the young man's lips opening and closing from time to time.

——Looking in the direction of the source of the faint light...

"Where's Ah Wu?"

"——Sleep~"

···
"—Alas~"

"-It's not a bad thing to be young."

"—At least you can know nothing, and don't worry about anything..."

"Well;"

"Fall asleep..."

···
"Where's the mother?"

"Where did mother go?"

Regarding the elder sister's words, the boy seemed to only listen to some of them selectively.

And when he asked the last sentence, "Where did mother go?", the boy obviously deliberately pretended to be casual, but also faintly worried.

But the worry buried deep in the boy's heart, the older girl didn't seem to find it.

"Mother..."

"Oh, my mother went to the apse to talk to my grandmother."

"It's because grandma has something to do, and you want to talk to and discuss with your mother?"

Just this one word caused the young boy's brows to wrinkle again, and the doubts that had just been left behind once again filled the young man's heart.

"Mother?"

"Why mother?"

"Grandmother has something to do, shouldn't she discuss it with the queen mother?"

"—the queen mother..."

"--Ugh······"

"—Ah Qi..."

···
"Why is the queen mother locked up in the dormitory?"

"How many other brothers did they make to attract the angels from Chang'an?"

"Even if you make a big mistake, won't your mother be implicated?"

"--Ugh······"

"—Ah Qi..."

···
"Father, why don't you do something?"

"Why does the father listen to the angel's words?"

"Queen Lu, isn't it already..."

"Why is the father still so afraid of people from Chang'an?"

"—Ah Qi..."

"—Ah Qi..."

Slowly, the boy fell silent.

Because the boy found that all the doubts in his heart seemed to be unable to get answers from his sister.

No matter what I said or asked, my sister would only sigh with a complex expression;
Then he patted the boy's head full of sighs: "Ah Qi..."

"Ah Qi..."

In the end, the boy let go of the strength he had pretended to be, and leaned his head gently on his sister's shoulder.

The girl also stretched out her hand naturally, and hugged her sensible brother tightly in her arms.

But then, the boy discovered something weird.

——The boy, being held tightly by his sister;
The boy's entire face was buried into the girl's thin shoulder blades.

But even so, the young man could clearly see that in the next palace, his father was discussing something with several ministers.

The young man clearly saw: On this day, the father was wearing a crimson robe, his face was full of sorrow;

Beside the father was the uncle who also looked sad, and several ministers with gloomy faces.

Then, the young man's perspective was inexplicably pulled to another palace.

In this palace room, the young man saw the empress mother in a phoenix robe, sitting on the edge of the upper couch, with her eyes slightly closed and her face covered with tears;
In front of the queen mother, the four elder brothers all knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the floor, and their shoulders rose and fell from time to time.

—Young man, I heard crying.

In the end, the lady in the phoenix robe hugged the boy's four brothers tightly.

After a long time, a long time;
The temple door was pushed open from the outside.

When the light from an unknown source fell on the lady whose face was full of tears, the young man clearly saw that there was no trace of life on that face.

It's like that noble lady has been dead for many years...

And just now, the four young figures who were prostrate in front of the lady, crying out of breath, were already lying in the middle of the hall...
······
"what!"

Chang'an City, the Taiwort.

Suddenly sitting up from the couch, the young man didn't care to wipe off the bean-sized cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't stop panting for a while.

Nightmare.

It's a nightmare.

So real nightmares, not only how many times, have appeared in the dreams of young people;

I don't know how many late nights, the young man was awakened from this warm and comfortable bed.

Realizing that it was just a dream, the horrified look on the young man's face was finally exhaled by the young man along with the rough breath.

It's just that even though he already knew that it was just a dream, there was still a touch of anxiety and worry on the boy's brows...

"Chun Tuo?"

"Chun Tuo!"

There were two yells in succession, causing the eunuchs outside the palace door to stretch out their hands quickly, then carefully pushed open the palace door, and then trotted lightly to the edge of the couch.

Naturally, it also woke up the charming and charming lady on the inside of the couch.

But at this moment, the young man can no longer care about the gentle hometown...

"Mother!"

"Where's the queen mother?!"

"Where is the queen mother!!!"

Seeing the young man's reaction like this, the eunuch obviously realized what had happened, so he hurriedly bent his already bowed waist a little more.

"Your Highness..."

"Yesterday at the Changxin Palace Banquet, the Empress was overwhelmed with alcohol, so she left first;"

"At this moment, Dang is still resting in the pepper room..."

"—Where is sister?!"

"—and Ah Wu!!!"

Almost at the same time as the eunuch's voice fell, the young man's sonorous and powerful growl sounded again;

It's just that the eunuch seems to have expected this...

"Master Guan Tao seemed to have eaten too much wine yesterday, and was left in Changle by the Queen Mother."

"As for Dai Wang, he was carried back to the mansion by Marquis Zhi in the end."

"If you wake up, you will return to the palace at this moment..."

···
······
From the mouth of the eunuch, the young man finally calmed down a little after receiving this reply that he had heard countless times;
Sitting on the edge of the couch, taking a deep breath, he fell into deep thought again.

The eunuch seemed very familiar with the young man's reaction, as if this procedure had been rehearsed countless times.

In the end, the eunuch was not surprised, and the young man's last order came.

"Well;"

"Gu is still a little worried."

"Well, you go there yourself."

"Go to the Jiaofang, see the queen mother, go to Changle, see the elder sister, and then find out where A Wu is."

"—You have to see these three people with your own eyes before you can come back and return!"

"When you come back, tell the orphan the exact expressions of your mother, elder sister, and Ah Wu."

Even though he had already memorized these instructions fluently, the eunuch still listened attentively from the beginning to the end, and finally bowed and saluted: "Here..."

When the eunuch left, the shy beauty in light clothes finally found a chance to lean on the young man's back tenderly.

"Your Highness~"

"Why did you wake up so early?"

"Even if you miss Rong'er, you don't have to be so impatient?"

The beautiful girl's voice, accompanied by a gust of warm wind, rushed into the young man's ears, but it did not ease the young man's tightly furrowed brows.

After forcing himself to sit for a while longer, the young man tried his best to suppress the urge to get up with a flick of his sleeves, and gently pulled the beauty's hand away from his neck;

Getting up from the couch, while raising his head, he put on his clothes under the service of the maidservant, while not forgetting to speak stiffly and perfunctorily: "I still don't feel relieved;"

"That eunuch, even if I think about it, I can't remember Gu's explanation. I still have to go alone to feel at ease."

"Li Ji, let's get some more sleep."

As soon as he spoke, he was already wearing a dark blue robe, and the young man strode towards the gate of the palace without looking back.

The weird thing happened again at this moment.

——The young man clearly remembered that after he woke up, the palace door had already been pushed open by the eunuch;

When leaving, the eunuch didn't seem to bring the door with him either.

But when the young man walked to the gate of the palace, the gate of the palace was closed by whom and when.

What made the young man feel even more strange was that the eunuch pushed the palace door open from the outside to the inside;

But at this moment, the young man pushed the palace door open from the inside out.

After the door of the palace was pushed open, the young man panicked and appeared in the Jiaofang Palace in Weiyang Palace...

"Ah Qi."

"After today, mother will be the queen."

"Whore is Guantao Master, Wu is Daiwang."

"Aqi, the Crown Prince..."

···
"After becoming a prince, no matter what you do or say, you must never let your temper go."

"Especially, what happened in Jinyang back then, Ah Qi absolutely—absolutely, never mentioned it to anyone."

"Even if it's me, I can't..."

The mother's gentle and loving tone reassures the youth;

But what the mother said made the young man frown slightly.

I was so focused on raising the doubts in my heart that I didn't realize that my body had changed into the appearance of the eight or nine-year-old boy at some point...

"Mother."

"Father..."

"—Call Father the Emperor."

"Oh, royal father."

"Father, will you avenge your mother and elder brothers in the future?"

···
"Mother?"

"--Ugh······"

"—Aqi, you have to remember."

"—Your father did not sit on the throne to avenge your mother and elder brother."

"—What your father wants is to prevent us from falling into that fate."

···
"—Aqi, remember."

"—In this world, there are countless people who want to kill my disciples of the Liu family."

"—Only by sitting in that position, can you decide whose life to take and whose life to protect."

···
"—that location..."

"—Only that position..."

···
······
"Uh!"

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Middle-aged man, wake up.

Woke up on the couch.

This time, the middle-aged man didn't break out in a cold sweat because of the nightmare.

"Chun Tuo."

"Chun Tuo?"

There were still two whispers, but the panic of youth was gone;

It was still that eunuch, and he had long since lost the shrewdness of his youth.

"His Majesty······"

"--go."

"—to Changle Palace."

"—Tell the queen mother that tomorrow night, I will bring King Liang and the eldest princess to visit Changxin Palace."

"Here..."
