I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

The autumn wind blows hard, and the yellow leaves are laid out layer after layer.Since ancient times, it has been said that autumn is lonely, but at this moment the hunting ground is overcrowded. The emperor hunts in autumn, accompanied by the prince, accompanied by concubines from all walks of life, and the battle is especially large.

Except for the year when the Ling family was executed at the age of 12, every time Li Ziyi and the emperor went out for autumn hunting, I would always be their companion.Although Li Ziyi didn't like me very much in the past two years, I followed my old habits and came to the hunting ground with him.

One person attains enlightenment and rises to heaven, while one person commits crimes and thousands of people are buried with him.Because I am an orphan of the Ling family, everyone didn't give me good looks, and I didn't care about these things.After taking care of all Li Ziyi's daily belongings, I hid in a secluded place with few people.When he was in a daze alone, Li Cixiao suddenly appeared, "So it's here, Yuqian, you can make it easier for me to find you."

"My lord." Although I am an acquaintance, this courtesy is still indispensable, so I stood up and saluted. "I've said it many times, these red tapes will be avoided in front of me." Li Cixiao pulled me to sit down, complaining a lot.Besides Li Ziyi, Li Cixiao can be regarded as someone I care about.He has also taken care of me a lot these years, especially in recent years, Li Ziyi has been hot and cold towards me, and always loses his temper with me inexplicably and makes a bad face.Thanks to Li Cixiao's guidance and comfort, I felt much better.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost a lot of weight. Yuqian, are you feeling unwell?" Whenever he met Li Cixiao, he would always ask for warmth.This person is also strange to say, people who were close to each other in childhood become estranged when they grow up, and those who were estranged in childhood become closer when they grow up.I grinned at the corner of my mouth and forced a smile, "Thank you, my lord, for caring. There is nothing wrong with my body."

After a long silence, Li Cixiao said: "Yuqian, I know the pain in your heart, but the matter has passed for many years, please relax. I can't help you, but if you are bored and tired, If you want to leave here, or want to find someone to rely on, I will definitely help you to the end, so that you will have no worries."

"My lord kindly accepts it." I was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond, so I had to say thank you first, "My lord, it's getting late, so I'll go back first." The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Li Cixiao seemed to be It was a bit strange, when I got up, Li Cixiao grabbed me, "Yuqian, wait a minute."

"The dead leaves are hanging on your hair." Li Cixiao took a small yellow leaf from my head, and I thanked him again.Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Ziyi say, "The king of Thailand doesn't go to accompany your concubine Lan, but stays in this remote corner with my servant boy. If someone else sees it and affects the reputation of the king of Thailand, how good it is?"

When I met Li Ziyi's eyes, I was startled and quickly lowered my eyes.Li Cixiao said unhurriedly: "You are not afraid of the slanting shadow, I have known Yuqian since childhood, so what's the harm in meeting now and chatting for a few minutes?"

"One master, one slave. I'm really curious. What is the common topic between King Tai and him?" Li Ziyi sneered, and my heart ached. The word slave is really touching.I responded in a low voice: "I just said some interesting things from my childhood."

"Did I ask you something?!" Li Ziyi broke out suddenly, and I trembled in fright.Li Cixiao also pulled his face: "Seventh brother is dissatisfied with me, just come to me, why is he so angry with Yuqian?"

"What is the King of Thailand talking about? You are my elder brother, how dare I be dissatisfied with you. Ling Dan is my attendant, he violated the rules and etiquette, so what if I teach him a lesson?" Li Ziyi's eyes were sharp. It was so bad that it hurt me.Li Cixiao wanted to speak, but I bowed my head and knelt down, "The lord calm down, Ling Dan surpassed, I hope to forgive my sin."

"Yuqian, get up quickly." Li Cixiaofang took my hand and tried to pull me up, Li Ziyi stepped on my back.At that moment, my cheeks were burning hot, as if I had been slapped more than a dozen times. "King Tai, he is mine, and it is up to me to reward or punish him." Li Ziyi had great strength, and I struggled to support myself.Li Cixiao's face darkened, and he slowly let go of my hand, and I said in a low voice, "Respectfully send off the king of Thailand."

After Li Cixiao walked away, Li Ziyi just retracted his feet and snorted coldly, "Are you so impatient to see him?!" I didn't quite understand what he said, and he was in a fit of anger. If he dared to make him angry again, he just knelt down and didn't respond.

After a moment of silence, Xia Nianzhen came over enchantingly, "My lord, I was fine just now, what's the matter now?" Li Ziyi snorted and walked away.I was busy and greeted Xia Nianzhen again.Xia Nianzhen said, "Ling Dan, since you are the prince's man, you should know how to measure yourself. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one servant cannot rely on two masters."

I tremblingly responded, Xia Nianzhen hurried to chase Li Ziyi.I know that in recent years, the conflict between Li Ziyi and Li Cixiao has become more and more serious, and I also deliberately avoid suspicion and try to avoid Li Cixiao as much as possible.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky is bright and the air is clear, the wind is smooth, and it is suitable for hunting.The emperor was dressed in a hunting suit, imposing and dignified.All the princes are also graceful and luxurious, showing the royal demeanor.Li Ziyi's attire didn't change much, originally he was a little happy, but when he saw me, his expression changed.Li Cixiao glanced at me anxiously, but I pretended I didn't see it, and retreated behind the crowd.

The emperor rode his horse into the forest, and all the princes also whipped the horses. There was a clatter of hooves, and the group of people disappeared in the blink of an eye.I wanted to go back to the camp, but when I turned around, I ran into Li Ziyi's concubine, Xia Nianzhen.Xia Nianzhen has a flamboyant personality, she is the jewel in Xiangguo's palm, so she is domineering.I greeted her politely.Perhaps due to the crowds around, besides the maids and eunuchs, there were many concubines, so Xia Nianzhen didn't attack me, only derogatory and mocked me and let me go.

In less than half an hour, the hunting ground became restless.The girls and eunuchs all rushed to one place.I grabbed a eunuch and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" The eunuch said anxiously, "An assassin assassinated the Seventh Prince!"

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly ran with the flow of people.When they arrived at the entrance of the hunting ground, it was completely surrounded. The emperor was furious and blocked all the exits of the hunting ground to arrest the assassins.I couldn't see Li Ziyi, so I was very anxious. When I came here, I heard that Li Ziyi was injured from the gossip of the girls and eunuchs. I don't know if the injury is serious or not.

The imperial doctor was rushing in and out, Li Ziyi's tent was heavily guarded, Xia Nianzhen couldn't get close, so I could only worry.Not long after Li Ziyi was assassinated, all the assassins were caught, but none of them survived.That night, the emperor ordered to drive back to the palace.

On the way back to the palace, I heard from other people that Li Ziyi's injuries were not serious, but that the assassins' swords were all poisonous, so I couldn't help feeling chills.Li Ziyi was raised in the palace for seven whole days before being sent back to the palace.When I hid in a corner when he returned home, I reluctantly met him. His face was very pale and he was not energetic.

Li Ziyi didn't leave his room for several days, and Xia Nianzhen took care of the soup and medicine. Even at night, Xia Nianzhen was always by Li Ziyi's side. I couldn't get close, and I couldn't help him.A few days later, Xia Nianzhen no longer stayed in Li Ziyi's room.I fixed the time and sneaked in to see Li Ziyi a few times. He didn't sleep very soundly.

One autumn rain and one cold.It has been raining for three consecutive days, and the raindrops hitting my body are like icicles piercing into my flesh, making me bone-chillingly cold.Li Ziyi has recovered a lot. I saw him walking in the back garden these two days, but I just watched him from afar and didn't dare to go forward.Still pinching that time, he sneaked into the room, this time he slept a little more peacefully, and did not speak those inaudible dreams again.

The sound of wind and rain outside the house was very loud, Li Ziyi kicked off the quilt and coughed twice.I stepped forward and lifted the quilt for him, covering his exposed hands.

Li Ziyi coughed twice more and became irritable, many beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, "Water...water..." Li Ziyi yelled twice vaguely.I hurriedly poured a glass of warm water, "My lord, here comes the water."

There was a gap between Li Ziyi's eyes, "Yuqian..." I lifted him up, approached the teacup and fed him, "My lord, I'm here." When the cup of warm tea bottomed out, Li Ziyi's complexion suddenly changed, and he choked out A mouthful of blood came.The door was pushed open suddenly, Xia Nianzhen rushed over, "My lord!"

There was blood all over Li Ziyi's body, Xia Nianzhen screamed and snatched Li Ziyi from my arms, and pushed me away, "How dare you murder the lord, come here! Tie up Ling Dan!" I was not allowed to speak, Five or six servants rushed in and held me down.

"Get out!" Li Ziyi snorted, his mouth full of blood. "Go to the doctor!" Xia Nian hurriedly pulled out the embroidered handkerchief to wipe the blood from Li Ziyi's lips.I broke free from the servant and knelt forward to wipe his blood, but Li Ziyi stared at me and said coldly, "Get out! Get as far away as possible, don't let me see you again!"

"My lord, it's not me, it's not me, I never thought of harming you." Li Ziyi was full of disappointment, and my heart ached terribly.I'm mad at myself, and I'm mad at him too. In the past 17 years, I have never done a single thing to be sorry to him, and I have not gained his trust in these 17 years.

"Ling Dan, it's because of the friendship between you and me since we were young. I won't pursue this matter anymore, and I won't keep you anymore. Get out now. If not, I will definitely not show mercy!" Li Ziyi coughed up a puddle of blood again .

"My lord, it's really not me, please trust me once, okay?" Deep helplessness swept over again.Xia Nianzhen scolded, "If the lord did not intercede for you, you would have turned into a pile of bones. How could you have survived to this day? Now that the lord is kind, if you spare your life, you will be grateful, hurry up." get out!"

"Get out!" Li Ziyi clutched his heart, his expression extremely painful, Xia Nianzhen wiped the blood and comforted him.Li Ziyi struggled and said again, "Don't make me say it a second time!"

"Thank you, my lord..." I stood up tremblingly, and when I retreated to the table, I grabbed the teapot and drank a few mouthfuls of warm water.Xia Nianzhen was half surprised and half happy, Li Ziyi coughed a few times, "I told you... Get out!"

"My lord, I have nothing left, I only have you..."

"Come here!" Li Ziyi forcefully interrupted my words.When three servants entered the house, Li Ziyi pointed at me and said, "Drag him out!" He was very disgusted. It was the first time I saw him show such an expression in the past 17 years.

As soon as the door was closed, only the coughing in the room and Xia Nianzhen's screams could be heard.The rain outside the house was getting heavier, and it made me feel cold. The three servants dragged me to a corner before letting go, "Young Master Ling, you can go by yourself."

I didn't make a sound, and was about to turn around, when the three of them hurriedly stopped me, "Young Master Ling, we all remember that you treat us well on weekdays, but this time the prince and concubine have given orders, and I hope you don't make it difficult for us." .”

One person didn't stop talking, but the other person hurriedly said, "Young Master Ling, you should leave for a while, and it's okay for you to come back after the prince's anger subsides. Why bother hitting that knife right now?"

"If you really remember my kindness to you, don't stop me again." I couldn't hold back my tears, and I didn't hold back anymore.They struggled a lot, but they didn't stop me anymore, they just hurriedly followed me to Li Ziyi's gate.

The doctor was making a diagnosis and treatment in the room, Xia Nianzhen asked a few words, from the doctor's words, I could tell that Li Ziyi was fine, so I breathed a sigh of relief. "Young master Ling, the prince is not in danger of life now, you can relax and go." The servant pulled me, I left him, and knelt in front of the door in the rain.

"Master Ling, why are you bothering?" A man followed me into the rain and hurriedly dragged me.I pushed him, "I didn't do it, I never had the intention of hurting anyone. You can disbelieve the sky, the earth, or anyone, but you can't disbelieve in me!"

I have a mild temper, but I am also famous for my stubborn temper.The three of them had no choice but to guard me in the corridor.The doctor glanced at me when he left the room after his consultation, and was about to say a few words. The little girl holding the umbrella urged me, and then he pulled the medicine box on his shoulder and walked away quickly.
