little turtle in pocket

Ninety-one AD.On the pitch-black pasture, the sound of whimpering wind echoed in the air.

In the corner of the pasture, the beating firelight reflected on everyone's faces, which was indescribably weird, and the giant shadow pupils looked like ghosts.

The tense and suffocating atmosphere was finally broken by King Liang: "Shen'er, you should know what marrying Chu State means to us, right?"

"Yes, father." Cheng Shen replied respectfully, as if taking an exam in the golden palace, "The Khitan wolves in the north are ambitious and have been trying to invade our country. Joining with Chu will not only strengthen our strength, but also consolidate the southern border. No worries."

Liang Wang sneered: "I'm afraid that if you let your nonsense go on like this, now is a time of distress! The aftermath of the disturbance by the prince of Chu the day before yesterday in the Hall of Yihe has not stopped. Don't you say to stay in the palace to appease your little bride, I ran outside to hunt, and was almost eaten by a tiger! With a body of a thousand pieces of gold, I have no self-respect, how can I trust you to hand over the foundation of Jiangshan to you?"

This is a strong statement.Cheng Shen didn't dare to argue, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

After venting, Liang Wang seemed to calm down a little, and he called a person's name with boredom: "Wen Nuo."

Shocked, Cheng Shen raised his head: "Father!"

Liang Wang looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, "Don't think your father is deaf and blind, don't forget that this vixen killed your mother, stay away from him!"

Cheng Shen took two steps on his knees and grabbed King Liang's skirt: "Father, it's none of Xiao Nuo's business, I—"

"Ma Changshi, take someone to escort the son back to the palace first."

"No!!" Cheng Shen, who had always maintained his demeanor, finally broke out, and jumped up to stand in front of the person he wanted to protect, "Father, you promised mother that you will take good care of him!"

Liang Wang looked at him with anxious eyes: "Look at what you look like? What's so good about this vixen? Make you so confused?"

Someone gently touched his back, reminding him not to be reckless.Cheng Shen's eyes were red: "Father, I beg you—"

"Don't ask me! For such a thing, I can't afford to lose this person!" Liang Wang was furious, and drew out his sword with a "choke" and pointed at his son, "Ma Changshi, what are you still doing?"

The burly man standing next to him responded, and more than a dozen people stepped forward together, surrounding His Royal Highness Shizi.

Liang Wang Leng Sensen announced: "In the future, you are not allowed to meet this vixen again, or I will kill him, so that you will not be stunned!"

Cheng Shen still wanted to say something, but he was surrounded by guards and got on his horse, and the team galloped away like the wind.

This corner of the pasture suddenly became empty, and there were only a few torches left, and people's expressions could not be seen clearly in the blurred light.

A shiny black riding whip was stretched under the boy's white jaw, forcing him to lift his face.

Wang's voice was extremely cold: "After all, what do you have to do with me? You are just the natal nephew of a woman I favored! I only agreed to take her in because she served me faithfully and responsibly. You broom star!"

With a "whoosh", the horsewhip hit the side of the young man's face, leaving a long bloodstain from the base of the ear to the neck to the collarbone.

When Wen Nuo turned his face back, he bit his lower lip tightly. It was obviously painful, but he held it back.

On the contrary, the other party's patience aroused King Liang's anger: "Why are you wronged? It is not easy to say that you are a broom star, and you can count how many people you have killed? From your parents to your aunt, as long as it is against you Good man, you just-"

"I do not have."

The sudden voice surprised Liang Wang slightly: "What?"

The young man raised his eyes stubbornly, and his lower lip was already bitten bloody: "I didn't kill them! Who would kill their own relatives? Who would be willing to be an orphan with no family and no one to love?"

"Stupid!"

After the initial stupefaction, King Liang raised his whip and lashed the boy's head and face several times.

Wen Nuo didn't raise his hand to block or try to dodge, he let the whip fall on the skin like a poisonous snake, tearing open a series of bloody cracks.

The arrogance of the humble man drove Liang Wang crazy, kicked him to the ground, and howled: "I will not let you harm my son again! I will not die!! Don't even think about seeing each other again in this life To Chengshen, you should die of this heart!!!"

Inside the Hall of Yihe, the cold and desolate air stagnates, and the brocade tents and quilts only make this bustling place even more lonely.

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the dullness, and the man's angry voice echoed among the carved railings and painted buildings: "Don't think that I will be with you if you sue my father! I will tell you that I won't do this!"

What answered him was a woman's clear and crisp words: "Who has sued? Don't make false accusations without evidence! Our princess is not good enough for you. Your head was caught by the door, and you got angry when you did something wrong. On our princess!"

"Mingyan, calm down." Mo Yue grabbed the maid's sleeve, it seemed that the girl wanted to rush up and fight directly with His Royal Highness, "What His Highness wants to say is his business, we just have to have a clear conscience."

Cheng Shen snorted, said nothing more, turned around and stepped out of the palace door.

Looking at the tall figure who disappeared into the darkness, Mo Yue's eyes gradually filled with tears.In terms of feelings, the princess is no different from ordinary girls. These days, she has fallen in love with this handsome prince who is a bit reckless and values ​​love and righteousness.

It's a pity that this nominal husband is pretending to be someone else.

"Ah, what did you say?"

Suddenly realizing that the maid was talking to her, Mo Yue pressed the corners of her eyes with her cuff in a panic.

Ming Yan was still angry, and looked at the direction of Cheng Shen's departure: "Our princess of Chu Kingdom cannot be humiliated in vain! I swear, one day I will make him pay for what he said today!"
