No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The blood on Saiqi's forehead flowed down and stained his eyelashes, slightly blocking his vision.

Hearing the voice of the deposed prince at this time, he tried hard to open his eyes and look over.

When he saw the emaciated figure, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Master..." He wanted to call him master, but now the other party was no longer his master.

The deposed crown prince had no idea what had happened. He turned to Su Peisheng and asked, "Eunuch Su, what has my cousin done wrong?"

Although he didn't want to live, he still hoped that Saiqi could survive if he hadn't committed any crime.

Su Peisheng remembered the instructions given by His Majesty when he came here just now, and said calmly: "His Majesty is kind enough to allow Lord Hesheli to come to the palace to meet you, drink a glass of wine and talk about family affection."

He didn't understand such feelings. After all, as a eunuch, he had no such thoughts at all.

Not to mention that if he were in an official position like Saiqi, there was no way he would sacrifice his own future and die with a disabled person.

But since His Majesty has made up his mind, he can only do as he is told.

The deposed prince was a little puzzled, but when he saw the blood on Saiqi's head, he wondered if he had kowtowed to beg for this grace, which was why he was so excited.

When Su Peisheng left the house, he considerately closed the door and sent all the servants aside.

Then he said loudly: "You brothers, please catch up on the past. The imperial meal will be here soon."

Saiqi was very grateful to the Fourth Master, knowing that he had deliberately left them space to speak.

His life was worth it as he could say a few kind words before he died.

Seeing that no one was around, the deposed prince quickly asked him to sit down. "Why is your head covered in blood? You're just as disheveled as when I first saw you as a child."

Saiqi smiled and said, "It's okay. If I don't ask His Majesty, how can I see my cousin?"

He also remembered the first time they met, when his stepmother knocked the chicken leg bone from his hand to the ground, and her dog tried to grab it.

But he was extremely hungry, and he snatched the bone back from the dog's mouth, and was bitten all over with blood.

It was then that he saw this person who was literally glowing.

But now, the man who was full of time has become like this.

Saiqi's voice was hoarse: "Cousin... has lost weight..."

"Don't be too thin or too fat. Wipe your face quickly. It looks so ugly!" The deposed prince wrung out the face towel himself and handed it to him.

Saiqi took it and wiped the blood and tears off his head roughly. The force he used didn't feel like he was wiping his face at all, but more like he was wiping a table.

He didn't feel any pain, but the deposed crown prince started to grimace: "Gentle, gentle, there's a wound on your forehead, don't you know it hurts!"

After Saiqi wiped his face, he was finally able to see the person in front of him clearly and smiled foolishly: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

I'm going to die soon anyway, so this little pain doesn't matter.

The deposed prince took the face cloth, threw it into the basin beside him, wrung it out casually, and hung it on the wooden rack.

Saiqi watched him do these things with his own hands, and then thought of his past life, and choked up for a moment: "My cousin has suffered."

"Why suffer? I have food and drink and I don't have to work. I wonder how many people out there can't live like this," he learned Shi Jia's words of comfort.

But this is also done for Saiqi to see. After all, he still wants him to live well and will not threaten his life in front of him.

Being able to see him before I die, I can finally go on my journey with peace of mind.

Saiqi clenched his fists, but said nothing more.

The deposed prince was trying to find something to say: "You are willing to come to see me this time. Do you forgive me?"

Ever since he and Li Yingde became entangled, the two brothers became estranged and never met each other again.

Now that he is willing to pay such a huge price to see him, he should have forgiven him in his heart.

With this little hope, the deposed prince felt relieved.

Saiqi shook his head: "I have never blamed you. You can do whatever you want with me."

"When I left the palace..."

It was just that he had already seen clearly what Emperor Kangxi felt towards the deposed crown prince, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen in the future and the other party would be killed without a burial place.

So he pulled himself away and went outside to make other preparations to give himself a way out.

But as a concubine's son, he really doesn't have that much ability.

Even if one puts in ten or a hundred times the effort of an ordinary person, one can only protect himself and get a little bit of information from the palace.

He had no ability to save the deposed prince from imprisonment, so he could only accompany him to the underworld.

After hearing his explanation of what happened before, the deposed prince smiled with a sense of relief: "I'm glad you didn't blame me, I'm glad you didn't blame me..."

It was only when he fell into the mud that he realized that the purest love he had ever received in his life came from this cousin.

The others gathered around him because of his status as the crown prince.

Including Shi Jia, who actually looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, but because of her status and the rules, she stayed with him until now.

Not to mention the people around him. When he was surrounded by flowers, they talked more beautifully than they sang, making it difficult for him to see himself clearly.

When he fell from the altar, they ran away faster than monkeys, and even turned around to add insult to injury.

Only Saiqi, no matter whether he was good or bad, stood there coldly, with all his eyes on him.

He didn't understand this kind of feeling before, but now... he should understand it.

It's too late, too late~

The two looked at each other and saw regret and reluctance in each other's eyes, but they both smiled.

The laughter in the room overflowed, and Su Peisheng's eyes became sore as he listened to it outside.

I thought to myself, what’s wrong with this person? How can he still laugh at this hour?

If he knew he was going to die, then...

"Pooh~~~" He slapped his own mouth.

Don’t even think about such an unlucky thing!

After a while, the young eunuchs came back with several large food boxes, and the table was full of delicious dishes.

Su Peisheng invited the two of them to sit down and eat. Saiqi tried his best to pick up the dishes that the deposed prince liked, hoping that he could eat his fill.

The deposed prince couldn't actually eat much, but he ate it all anyway and turned around to greet him: "You eat too, don't just pick food for me."

This should be the last time they meet and have dinner together, so how can we not let Saiqi eat well?

Upon hearing this, Saiqi shoveled food into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up.

He spent his childhood in hunger and always felt hungry in later life.

The prince at that time would give him extra meals again and again, so it would be good for him to eat his fill during this last meal.

After a quick meal, the deposed prince remembered, "Eunuch Su, didn't you say you wanted to drink? Where's the wine?"
