The prince is no longer a man

When he smelled the woody fragrance from that person, Pei Rong's struggle turned into obedience, he let Duan Jingxun lead him, and in a few light leaps, the two landed in the side hall of the East Palace.

As soon as he stood firmly, Pei Rong hurriedly called out: "Prince..."

Duan Jingxun remained silent without saying a word, exuding a gloomy and gloomy aura, he took Pei Rong's hand coldly, led the people into the side hall without saying a word, and dropped the door bolt neatly.

Then he kept moving, turning a copper candlestick on the bookshelf, and saw that the originally complete wall was slowly opened to both sides, revealing the dark room with candles burning inside.

Pei Rong looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help being stunned: "This is..."

Duan Jingxun didn't answer, and led Pei Rong into the darkroom, turned around, frowning deeply, his handsome face looked stern and dangerous at this moment.

"Pei Rong, do you know what you are doing?" Duan Jingxun's voice was extremely low, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion and squeezed it out of his throat.

Pei Rong couldn't care about the sudden appearance of the dark room at this moment, his mind was full of what the queen had said to deal with Duan Jingxun just now, he even ignored what was wrong with Duan Jingxun at this time, he couldn't help but took a step forward, and said nervously and hastily: "Prince ,Listen to me, I was in Kunning Palace just now, and I heard the queen..."

"Pei Rong," Duan Jingxun interrupted him coldly, he pinched Pei Rong's shoulders with both hands, his arms trembling slightly because he was restraining his own strength, he bowed his head, and asked word by word: "Why do you Are you going to Kunning Palace?"

"Prince!" Pei Rong was in a panic. Regardless of Duan Jingxun's question, in a hurry, he yelled out what he had just heard in a low voice: "The empress is going to kill you! Do you know that!"

He shouted so hard, but he restrained himself and lowered his voice. He was terrified and at a loss. This panic was more menacing than when he knew that the queen was the real murderer.

Duan Jingxun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You are the one who is in danger now. You promised me to be obedient, but why do you always put yourself in danger over and over again?"

When he heard Chang Bin tell him that Pei Rong secretly followed him to Kunning Palace, Duan Jingxun could no longer recall his feelings at that time.

If he came one step late, what would happen to him, he didn't dare to think about it.

"Pei Rong, I can rest assured only if you are well. Do you understand?"

"But I'm also worried about you!" Pei Rong almost cried out, his eyes were flushed, and his voice was trembling, "When I heard those words, you didn't even know how scared I was!"

Duan Jingxun couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged him in his arms: "What do you want me to do with you..."

Leaning on Duan Jingxun's shoulder, Pei Rong still couldn't hide the panic in his heart: "Then now...then what do you do? Will there be any danger?"

Duan Jingxun brushed Pei Rong's hair restrainedly and gently, and said in a low voice, "I'll be fine, you trust me."

Pei Rong's eyes tightened, and he asked in disbelief: "So you know everything, right? You already know what the queen is thinking?"

Duan Jingxun closed his eyes heavily, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me!" Pei Rong cried.

Duan Jingxun's fingertips stopped, and he hugged Pei Rong more and more: "Didn't you just say that you were very scared?"

Pei Rong felt that his heart was being tightly grabbed, the pain was so painful that he didn't know what to do, he moved his lips, but he didn't make a sound.

During the silence between the two, Chang Bin called out in a low voice from outside the wall door: "Prince, the Empress has come and is waiting for you in the palace."

Duan Jingxun's expression remained unchanged, and he replied, "Understood, tell her I'll go later."

The empress came at this time, it was really not a good person, Pei Rong broke free from Duan Jingxun's arms, and looked at him anxiously: "I will go too!"

Duan Jingxun looked puzzled, looked at Pei Rong for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "You can't go."

"But the queen..."

"Pei Rong, from now on, you can't go anywhere."

Duan Jingxun's voice was still so low, but his words made Pei Rong stunned in place.

"What... what do you mean?"

"It's you who are in danger now, not me."

While speaking, Duan Jingxun's fingertips rubbed the corners of Pei Rong's mouth, his eyes were darkly flowing.

"Pei Rong, you always involve yourself in danger, you are so disobedient, how can I rest assured?"

"I can only feel at ease when I know that you are safely in the East Palace."

"But I'll be fine! The queen didn't see me!" Pei Rong grabbed Duan Jingxun's sleeves and said hurriedly, "Don't let me know nothing!"

"Not seeing you doesn't mean you're safe," Duan Jingxun's eyes darkened, "When the matter is over, no matter what you want to know, I will never hide it from you."

The sadness in Pei Rong's heart grew stronger, his eyes were covered by a mist of water, and with a slight blink, the mist melted.

"You never told me to wait, now you say it, it's this time again, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

"That's all I can do."

Duan Jingxun's answer only consisted of these five words.

His attitude is so decisive, even if there is a knife on his neck at this moment, he will not change his mind.

Pei Rong numbly let go of his hand, Na Na asked: "No matter what I say, you will not be shaken?"

The hand hanging by his side was clenched suddenly, and Duan Jingxun's tone was as hard as iron: "No."

"I have something very important to tell you when I enter the palace today. If you really treat me like this, maybe I won't say it again, and you won't regret it?"

Duan Jingxun didn't answer, turned around silently, and left.

When the wall door was slowly closed, Duan Jingxun heard Pei Rong's cry from inside the room: "Duan Jingxun, you will regret it!"

Duan Jingxun came to the main hall, no abnormalities could be seen on his face, he nodded to the queen and said, "Why is the queen mother here today?"

The queen sighed and looked at Eunuch Li: "Come on."

"Yes." Eunuch Li got the order and took a step forward.

"A sneaky person entered the Kunning Palace today. When the slaves sent people to investigate, they chased them all the way to the East Palace, but they disappeared. The empress was worried about the prince, so she came here to take a look."

"There is such a thing?" Duan Jingxun frowned, and asked Chang Bin: "What's different about the East Palace today?"

Chang Bin took a step forward and replied respectfully: "Prince, everything in the East Palace is as usual, nothing unusual."

Hearing Chang Bin's words, Eunuch Li changed his face: "What do you mean by that, are you doubting the Empress?"

Chang Bin suddenly knelt down and shouted again and again: "I dare not!"

Duan Jingxun raised his eyes casually, and said lightly: "There is no room for sloppy safety in the palace. Since the queen mother is here today, for peace of mind, I will check the East Palace to see if there is any suspicious person, and it will also save the queen mother from worrying. "

"The crown prince is still so sensible, since that's the case..." The queen told Eunuch Li: "You should go and have a look carefully. The crown prince is the heir apparent, so you have to investigate carefully."

"Yes!"

Duan Jingxun stood still, with a calm expression.

An hour later, the empress held back her anger and left the East Palace. Eunuch Li followed beside him, unconsciously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"How did you manage to make the prince read the jokes of this palace for nothing!"

"The servant has questioned other people, and someone saw Rong Shizi coming in the direction of Kunning Palace. The servant concluded that the person outside the door is Rong Shizi, so he proposed to search the East Palace."

"In this palace, there is no one else who is willing to hide Rong Shizi except the prince!"

The queen's exquisite face was quite ferocious because of her anger, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let me find it! Even if you send someone to guard the gate of Prince Shun's mansion every day, you still have to find him!"

In the dim dark room, Pei Rong sat alone on the couch, without saying a word.

Although the darkroom is small, the decoration is extremely exquisite.

The objects needed are precious things, the bed is also high-quality huanghuali wood, covered with soft mattresses, and there is a bunch of unnamed flowers in the corner, which adds a touch of vitality to the darkroom.

Pei Rong lowered his head, his hair fell down, leaving only a shadow on his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After a long time, Pei Rong punched the mattress with a fist, biting his lip, he couldn't tell whether he was more angry at this time, or more worried about Duan Jingxun.

He raised his eyes and looked around the darkroom. There were several Buddhist scriptures on the desk, as well as books that were half copied. Pei Rong hesitated for a while, but finally walked over.

The font on the book is free and easy, and Pei Rong knew it was written by Duan Jingxun at a glance. He tore off the page angrily, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it towards the wall.

Tearing up a page is still not enough, but Pei Rong tore up everything that Duan Jingxun had copied, leaving no trace of Duan Jingxun's handwriting.

After doing all this, Pei Rong sat down on the chair, turned his gaze, and stared at the few Buddhist scriptures again.

Pei Rong picked up the Buddhist scripture on the top, flipped it casually in his hand, a page suddenly fell out and fell to the ground.

Pei Rong picked up the paper and found that it was a small picture of a man.

Taking a closer look, this person's eyebrows, nose, and lips are actually himself.

Pei Rong paused with his fingertips, and inadvertently looked at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand. On the page where the small face fell, the scriptures were written "Why is the holy truth of suffering? The so-called suffering of life, suffering of old age, suffering of illness, suffering of death, suffering of resentment and hatred, Don't suffer when you love each other, don't get what you ask for."

Pei Rong only felt sore and astringent in his eyes, and lightly brushed the book with his fingertips: "You can't get what you want..."

He carefully put the photo back into the book, then got up again, picked up all the papers that had just been crumpled up, opened them one by one, and laid them flat.

After all, there were traces of wrinkles left on the paper, Pei Rong looked at the paragraphs copied by Duan Jingxun, and suddenly pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a very shallow smile.

Pei Rong's smile is always moving and lively, just like his heart.

Only this time, when Mingming smiled, the sourness in his eyes gradually gathered, until he couldn't hold back any longer, and fell down silently.

The author has something to say: Why bother with the Holy Truth?Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, sickness is suffering, death is suffering, resentment and hatred are suffering, love and love are not suffering, and not getting what you want is suffering.From "Zhong Agama Sutra"
