Therefore, before her death, she did not forget to hold the emperor's hand and asked him to take good care of Xiuwen. Never forget that they are a family.

This is also why the deposed prince tried every means to deliver the last piece of her mother's belonging to Eunuch Jiang. It was a string of Buddhist beads that had been around for a long time. It was a long time ago. When the queen was just pregnant, the emperor brought it back for her in a private visit. At the same time, he also brought it back, including King Cheng's biological mother, a beautiful man from Jiangnan who was both talented and beautiful.

This string of Buddhist beads is not precious, so it was preserved when the deposed prince was imprisoned in Xici Alley. When the emperor saw this string of Buddhist beads, he remembered the former queen, and he felt ashamed of her treatment. He ignored her entrusted her orphans to imprison their only son in Xici Alley.

Eunuch Jiang sighed at the right time again and said that it was the fifteenth day of the night, and it was soon the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This is what the deposed prince told him. The emperor's face was really moving after hearing this. Mid-Autumn Festival is also the birth date of the deposed prince. He still remembers how happy he was when the child was born. Prince Xiuwen has always been the emperor's pride. He has been generous and talented since childhood. The emperor has tried his best to teach him. But this father-son relationship changed after the deposed prince became an adult. The older emperor began to fear that he would follow his ancestors to force the palace to seize the throne, so he was wary of the prince.

This is also why the emperor ordered people to capture the deposed prince without even thinking about it. The fear in his heart was hooked up, so he forgot that Prince Xiuwen was his son and completely regarded him as an enemy to steal his throne.

Four years have passed. When she saw the relics of the Queen of the First Queen, she remembered her debt to the Queen of the First Queen. When she was about to give birth, she brought back a beauty, and was entrusted by her death to imprison Prince Xiuwen into Xici Lane. After all her thoughts, she ordered Eunuch Jiang to go to Xici Lane and bring the deposed prince.

But the deposed prince doesn't want to see him again!

He is the emperor and the father, a minister and a son, how dare Xiuwen not come?!

When Eunuch Jiang saw the emperor's anger, he hurriedly said, "Don't calm down. Your Highness, now... the old slave can't help crying when he sees it."

"Xu Wen... what's wrong with him?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"Oh." Eunuch Jiang sighed. "Your Highness, your heart is dead. He is no longer the Prince Xiuwen of the past. His spirit and courage are all turned into ashes four years ago. His current highness is just a useless man. He cannot see things and cannot hold a pen in his hands. Your Highness said that the emperor no longer has to be afraid of his unfair intentions, because he is already a useless man. He will die in Xici Lane in this life and will never come out again."

Prince Xiuwen, what kind of person is that?

Everyone in the world knows that he is outstanding and amazing in his youth. He is the perfect man whom countless noble girls dream of. He has a noble status and is above. He was originally the bright moon in the sky for people to look up to, but now he has fallen into the world and no longer has that light. The pearls are covered with dust, the white jade is flawed, and it is hard to collect the water.

The emperor was full of anger, like a deflated ball, and there was no sound anymore. It was his most proud son, his first child, and there would be more children in the future, and none of them would ask him to work hard like Xiuwen.

But this child is useless.

I don’t know how long it took, but the emperor closed his eyes and sighed softly: “You…I’ll make arrangements tomorrow, I’m going to leave the palace.”

"emperor?"

"I am old." Even the emperor had to admit that he was getting older and older, and his sons were growing up, but he was no longer as young and strong as he used to be. Now that there has been no newborn in the harem for several years, he knows his own body better than anyone else, and he has already felt powerless. "Some people's hearts have begun to be active."

"emperor--"

"No need to say anything." The emperor waved his hand. "Since Xiuwen refused to come to see me, I went to see him in person. Back then... I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't even give him a chance to defend myself. Now he is discouraged by me, which is natural. It is because I have lost his heart. When this person's heart is cold, he will never be able to warm up again."

Eunuch Jiang looked at the emperor's still tall back. The emperor's hair had already grown on his temples, but there was no one around him who could speak his heart. After the Empress left, the emperor became even more lonely. Prince Xiuwen was deposed, and he became a lonely man. Now, no one can be trusted by the emperor except himself.

Is this the emperor?

He lives in the country, but he is only a single figure.

The next day, the emperor took off his dragon robe and did not alarm anyone. He only brought two guards and Eunuch Jiang out of the palace and headed straight to Xici Lane.

Xici Lane has always been a place where people from the royal family are forbidden. The emperor has never gone there, so he doesn't know how this place is so desolate and dilapidated. The outsiders don't know how the people inside live, but the imperial guards stayed here and would not give anyone a chance to come out. Those who entered died inside, and they didn't even have the qualifications to move into the imperial tomb. They were buried on the spot, with a piece of yellow soil and a white bone, and disappeared in this life and no one remembered it.

There are not many palace people here, most of them are thin, blue, white, and numb. Even when they see the emperor, they don’t look much afraid. People living here are walking corpses, so why are they afraid of not dying? Living here is harder than dying.

Under the guidance of Eunuch Jiang, the emperor arrived at the broken courtyard where the deposed prince lived. He was timid in his hometown, so he did not dare to step in.

After standing at the door for a long time, the emperor took a step and entered the yard. The green vegetable field was in the green vegetable field. A man in a coarse cloth dress with white hair was watering the vegetables with patches. He came up from the well and brought it to the vegetable field. He bent over and didn't care much about the soil on his hands, and did his own work quietly.

There is no trace of nobility, and there is no trace of popularity.

Hearing the footsteps, the man who was watering the vegetables turned around. From his back, he could see that the man was very thin, with a coarse linen on his body, and there was only a shelf left. But no matter how mentally prepared, when he saw the deposed prince's skinny face, the emperor could not withstand the blow, and took a few steps back, his eyes warmed up.

Four years have passed, and no matter how much anger he has, the crime of "rebellion" of the deposed prince was gradually washed away in the emperor's heart. During these four years, he would always wake up from his dream, wonder if he was too arbitrary at the beginning? If he gave Xiuwen a chance to explain, did he misunderstand him? What if someone framed him? He always remembered the goodness of the deposed prince. Xiuwen was smart since childhood, and he was faster than ordinary children. He was filial and sensible, and he was respectful and admirable to himself and the queen. The emperor had a problem with cervical pain, so Xiuwen tried every means to find a prescription for conditioning. During festivals and the emperor's birthday, Xiuwen always gave Xiuwen the most attentive and precious gifts.

When Xiuwen was abolished, would he resent his father and convicted him without even giving him any chance?

Before coming to Xici Lane, the emperor was most afraid of Xiuwen resenting himself. But now he realized that what was scary was not the resentment of the children, but the children saw him as if they saw a tree and a tree. "The Emperor."

His son, not called him father, but called him the emperor.

"Xiuwen--"

"I am just a sinner. Four years ago, the emperor deprived me of my name and title." The deposed prince stood up lightly. "Now I am a person without a name, and there is no one here called Xiuwen."

"You are hating your father--"

"This place is simple, the emperor is really the dragon emperor, so don't set foot on it." The deposed prince didn't care at all what the emperor said. He continued to water his own vegetables, and he struggled to carry a big bucket to the well. The emperor scolded the guards beside him: "What are you still doing in a stand-alone manner! Do you want the prince to do such rough work!"

The guard was stunned by the "prince" he said, and hurriedly went to grab the deposed prince's bucket. At this time, the curtain of the house was lifted, and a slender woman walked out. When she saw someone robbing the deposed prince's bucket, she immediately grabbed the broom at the door and rushed over, aimed at the group of people and beat them up. Even the emperor was accidentally beaten several times, and he grinned. "What are you doing! Let my husband go! Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you to death!"

My husband?????

Eunuch Jiang quietly attached to the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, I forgot to say that this woman is the wife of His Highness Cheng, who married His Highness Xiuwen, and was the concubine of Duke Jing's mansion."

What?

His Xiuwen married a illegitimate girl?!

Where did King Cheng get this courage?!

The women in this world should have been chosen by Xiuwen, but now he is married to such a woman who is extremely vulgar with a broom?! The emperor looked carefully and found that although the woman had a graceful figure, her face and body had done a lot of dust. She was very sloppy and crude, which made him feel even more heartbroken. He selected the daughter of Duke Jing, the number one beauty known as a talented woman, but now Xiuwen is surrounded by such a woman. What kind of decent is it?

His angry hands were trembling. After Linglong beat them up, she quickly threw the broom aside and asked the deposed prince about his well-being: "Are you okay, my husband? Are you injured?"

Although her face was dirty and she could not see her careful appearance, her voice was sweet and she called him her husband. During this period, the deposed prince, who was deliberately thin and deformed, her cheeks were red. Although she was acting, she really made him feel extremely happy to call him like this.

I have eaten this time, the bedding has been replaced, and the holes in the wall have been temporarily blocked. It should have stopped, right?

But the deposed prince was too simple. If he stopped so casually, would he still be exquisite?

"How could you just sleep like this?" Linglong was almost worried about the deposed prince's personal hygiene. "Wash your face, brush your teeth, and comb your hair. You are so ugly and so sloppy now. Although the bedding is not very good, it is all clean. Don't you think about dirtying them."

The deposed prince didn't want to pay attention to her, but at some point, a palace servant had already sent hot water, and a bathtub followed. Linglong was clean and she loved to be clean. She lived in the deserted sea, so she especially didn't like the people around her being dirty, which was annoying to see.

"Are you going in by yourself, or will I help you?" Linglong showed an extremely innocent smile and asked the deposed prince politely.

It was obvious that she was able to obey the palace people in this way. The deposed prince only hesitated for a few seconds before making a choice. When he took off his clothes, he found that Linglong not only did not look at him as rudely as an ordinary girl's house, but even stared at him with interest. No matter how heartless the deposed prince was, he was not open to the naked front of a girl's house. His hands that were untied stopped and turned to look at Linglong.

Linglong also looked at him with Qing Lingling's eyes open, wondering: "What are you watching me do? Can I clean myself when I see me?"

The deposed prince endured it and endured it. He didn't want to speak at all, but he was forced to have no way out in front of this girl. "Don't look."

"...I just want to see how dirty you are." Linglong said sincerely. "I asked the servants, and they said you haven't taken a bath for three years. I've heard a story before. Do you want to listen to it? Let me tell you?" Of course, she didn't mean to ask the deposed prince. She just told him and started talking to herself. "That's to say, there was a lazy couple in the past. They were very, very, very lazy. How lazy were they? They never took a bath or changed them.

They felt that the quilts would be spread out at night, and they would also be dirty after taking a bath, and the clothes would need to be cleaned, and the pot would be cleaned when they were cleaned, and the next meal would be made... and they didn't do anything. Later one day, a thief suddenly entered the house. The thief looked at their home and found that there was nothing to steal. The only valuable thing was the only one who was worth the money, so he took the pot off and took it away. Later, the thief became a righteous man, known as the scapegoat."

She said this, paused, looked at the deposed prince and continued: "Later, my wife suddenly woke up and found that there was a thief, so she pushed her husband up. When the husband was fighting with the thief, the thief took out the knife she carried with her and slashed her husband's neck. The husband fell down and the thief ran away with the blame. The wife was so scared that she cried, but suddenly saw her husband climbing up from the ground and touched her neck and said, 'Lucky I never took a bath, otherwise my life would be explained today!' The wife was very happy when she heard this. The two lit the lights and found that the pot at home had not been thrown away. It turned out that what the thief carried was the layer of dirt accumulated over the years."

"About this, I want to see how thick the gray on you are."

The deposed prince's mouth twitched, and he couldn't get angry. How could he not take a bath for three years? Even if he died of heart, he would not have to make himself dirty. The palace servants are different from his living close to him, so how do you know whether he takes a bath or not?

Linglong was full of anticipation after telling the story: "Take it off."

The deposed prince: "...Your daughter's house--"

"I'm not now. If I marry you, I'm not my daughter's house, but a woman's family. You all call me that, right?" She still blinked her beautiful eyes and urged, "Can you take off, can you still want me to serve you?"

She rarely serves people, and even if she serves, she will definitely come back thousands of times in the future.

The deposed prince was so angry that he actually untied his worn-out outer robe. Linglong glanced at him and sighed, "Nothing is fat at all. Such a figure is really not good-looking."

The deposed prince now thinks what she says is wind in her ears. It’s so cold that he quickly stepped into the bathtub, and the warmth swept across his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw Linglong wash his hands and face and rinse his mouth, and he went to bed by himself.

Both quilts were very thick, but Linglong didn't like it. I didn't know if the cotton inside was swelling or not. It was so heavy that she almost couldn't breathe. This aggravated her desire to live a good life and enjoy it. It was already very sad that she couldn't eat enough. If she couldn't sleep well, what's the point of being a dragon?

She was suffocated by two quilts. Although the bed below was covered with two mattresses, she still felt hard. This made Linglong miss the Dragon Palace in the deserted sea. She loved to enjoy it and had a luxurious personality, and never concealed it.

Who wouldn't like to live a good life?

The deposed prince put on his clothes after taking a shower, stood on the ground and shivered coldly, but he didn't know where he was going to sleep. Linglong supported his head with one hand and said hello to him: "Come up." His attitude was naturally without any shame, and he seemed to be calling a dog... The deposed prince gritted his teeth. In the cold winter, the cold wind was howling outside, and it was very difficult to survive the winter without a quilt. After thinking about it, he lifted the quilt and went to bed at Linglong's invitation, but it was very far from her, and the two were separated by a very large distance.

This was originally a double bed. At this moment, the deposed prince was covered with a quilt, but the man stepped back to the edge of the bed. Linglong approached a little, so he moved a little to the side. Finally, Linglong suddenly rubbed very close. The deposed prince was panting and hid backwards - he fell under the bed.

Linglong smiled while holding the quilt. Her face was extremely beautiful and she was particularly charming. The deposed prince had never seen her as beautiful as her. When he was the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, he was the most benevolent and tolerant. He had never even pulled his hands with the woman. He saw all the ladies who were smiling without showing their teeth. How could Linglong be so careless and almost arrogant?

Finally, she smiled and reached out to the deposed prince underground, "Can't you come up?"

The delicate jade hand was so beautiful, as if it was a white jade artwork carved by the best craftsman. The deposed prince pursed his lips and did not accept it. He got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and then lifted the quilt to go to bed. As soon as he got up, Linglong pushed it down and fell to the ground again. He raised his head and looked at him with glaring eyes.

Linglong pouted and stretched out her little hand: "Come up."

She was unhappy because he had rejected her just now, so she pushed him down, but she had to hold her hand before she could get up.

The deposed prince endured it and endured it, but still surrendered to Linglong's violence. The little hand in his palm was as soft as boneless, and he didn't even dare to use too much strength... so he was pulled onto the bed. Linglong turned over and pressed on him, facing his eyes. When the atmosphere was ambiguous, she sighed: "Your bones are so hard, it makes me feel so uncomfortable."

"...Then you go down."

"I don't." Linglong refused simply and neatly. "I'm going to do this."

“…”

"Look at you being depressed, isn't it happier to marry me than to be an emperor?" Her value is far more than a bullshit emperor. "Always have a bitter face, which makes me not even enjoyable to eat."

Is it delicious to eat? You can eat four of five steamed buns. The deposed prince thought so.

"Husband." She called him.

Her voice was tender and coquettish. She was a very beautiful woman. If she had the intention to tempt her, who could escape this gentle land? The deposed prince's heart moved fiercely. Since he was confined to this alley in Xishen, he seemed to be dead and silent. No news was heard from his past friends or relatives, and no one had ever handed over any news. He was dead and wanted to do nothing. Since he had become a deposed man and had no hope in this life, why bother to force him too much? He just lived by himself and waited for death like this.

He endured the lack of food and clothing in Xici Alley, and was lonely and lonely because he had long lost the will to live. What if a person like him could leave Xici Alley one day? He could only look at a glance and cut off his hands, but he would be a useless person. What's more, his father would never let him go, even if the new emperor ascends the throne and immigrates the world, he would not be free again.

If that's the case, it's not the same inside or outside.

It may be the same for the deposed prince, but for Linglong, it is very! No! the same!

"Husband." She cried again, lying on his chest, lying at this haggard and thin face, who was still vaguely visible, acting cute and coquettish, completely ignoring the amazing force she had shown before. "Look at me, how could I live in such a place? There is no delicious food here, the quilt covered is so hard and so cold that no one even bullies me. Do you have the heart to tell me to waste my time here?"

Yes...? The deposed prince was very suspicious of her last two words. Wasn't she bullying him? "How could you marry in? If this could be called 'marry'."

He was mentally prepared, for example, Linglong said that she was cheated, forced, or other reasons, but she never thought that her answer was beyond his expectations: "I got married, of course because I like you."

What?!

If she hadn't lie on his chest, the deposed prince would probably jump up. He stared at Linglong in disbelief, as if asking: What do you like me?
