Is the prince abolished today?

don't, don't.

In the darkness, the young man clutched the snow robe on his knees tightly with his ten fingers, gasping for breath. Beads of sweat kept rolling down his temples and the tip of his nose, trickling into his neckline.

Suddenly, the boy's pupils shrank, and he looked down at the back of his left hand, where the cyan snake pattern was spreading towards his left arm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, for the sake of that little bit of dignity, does His Highness want to turn himself into a poor little monster?"

"As the blood line grows longer, the snake pattern will crawl all over His Highness's body like vines. By then, His Highness will be a monster through and through."

"The world cannot tolerate monsters. In this life, His Highness is doomed to live in a dark corner without seeing the light of the sky."

The gloomy voice lingered in his ears like a curse, and the boy shrank back into the corner again, with big teardrops rolling out of his eyes.

monster……

he is a monster...

The world cannot tolerate monsters...

Cheap master, will you also think he is a little monster.What should he do to completely remove this ugly and dirty mark.

Goug it out, goug it out, just goug it out and they won't know what you've been through, they won't know you're a monster.

Another frantic and extremely bewitching voice sounded in his head at the same time, drowning all other strange voices in the depths of the vortex.

The young man seemed to have finally glimpsed the light of the sky and hope in the dark night. He fumbled wildly at the bottom of the cabinet with his right hand. His fingers felt cold for a moment, and he really touched a piece of broken porcelain.

Porcelain fragments have sharp fractures, and the skin bleeds when a finger is scratched lightly.The young man was stunned, he didn't know the pain, but instead, he felt a kind of strange pleasure surging in his limbs and bones.

"Do you know why I named you Wan Ye?"

In the cold main hall, the bright yellow emperor stood in the shadow of the lights with his hands behind his back, looking down at the little boy covered in scars and lying in a pool of blood, his eyes and brows were full of coldness and disgust.

"Because night represents darkness, filth, shame, filth, and is a place where filth is hidden. All things and things that are not visible to the light happen and grow in the night."

"And you, just like the night, are dirty and filthy, and are the shame of my life."

"You are only worthy of staying in the darkest, filthiest, and most bleak place. Use your blood, your pain, and your despair to atone for the sins of your equally filthy biological parents."

"You should hate, but you don't hate me, but you hate them. They have no ability to save you but they want to give birth to you. When you are in pain and despair, your biological father has wives and concubines in groups, sharing with other children. In the joy of the family, your biological mother may have already drank Meng Po soup and crossed the Naihe bridge to be reborn as someone else's mother. They have long forgotten you. Silly child, I know, you don't want to come to this world But since you are here, you have to bear the sins and responsibilities you should bear."

Finally, to be freed.

The boy pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, picked up the broken porcelain, exposed the sharpest tip, and stabbed fiercely at his left arm——

A hand stretched out from the slanted spine like lightning, just when the tip of the porcelain plate was still half an inch away from the left arm, it clamped the boy's right wrist like iron pliers.

The young man's eyes were red, and he wanted to struggle, but when he saw the silver figure that suddenly appeared in the backlight, he was stunned.

"Master, Master?"

The boy's eyes were flustered, and he subconsciously hid his left arm behind his back.

However, this short moment was enough for Wei Zhao to see everything clearly.Wei Zhao suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, withdrew his gaze, pretended not to see him, looked at the young man's dark eyes, curled his mouth, and said in a low and gentle voice: "The assassin has been arrested, and now it's safe outside. How about going out, Your Highness?"

The young man lowered his eyes, not daring to look into Wei Zhao's eyes. After a long silence, he said hoarsely, "I, I can walk by myself, I..."

The rest of the words came to an abrupt end in the boy's eyes widening suddenly and a short exclamation.Before the boy could react, his body had already fallen into a firm and warm embrace.

Wei Zhao couldn't help but hugged him horizontally, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at the little guy in his arms who obviously didn't trust him enough, and said, "You're so scared, what can you do?"

After a pause, he stared seriously at the little guy's eyes and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to show off in front of Master."

The young man's pupils trembled, his left hand was still hidden behind, but his right hand unconsciously grabbed the corner of the cheap master's clothes. Hearing this, his eyes turned red, and he slowly buried his head in the cheap master's chest. Draw, and draw again.

Wei Zhao clearly felt the warm water soaking the robe on his chest, and with a hook of the corner of his mouth, he gently put the little guy in his arms back on the dragon bed.

As soon as he touched the pillow, the boy immediately pulled up the quilt, covered himself from head to toe, curled up into a small ball under the brocade quilt, his body twitched and trembled slightly, apparently still crying.

Wei Zhao felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. He wanted to lift the quilt, hug the little guy in his arms, stretch out his hand halfway, and put it down again.

The little guy is deliberately avoiding him now, obviously afraid that he will see something on his left arm, why should he stimulate this little guy when he is most sensitive and vulnerable.

Sitting by the bed, Wei Zhaomo recalled carefully just now, when he took a quick glance, he saw that large piece of strange blue snake pattern on the boy's arm.

How can there be snake patterns on human skin?What kind of strange disease is that?Before this little guy fell ill, it was all because of the stimulation of Manjusri, but this time it was because of realgar...

The folks often use realgar to repel snakes and insects. Logically, snakes should be afraid of realgar. Why do snake patterns grow on the little guy after inhaling the smoke of realgar?

"Master Hou."

At this time, the soldiers of the Dingbei Hou Mansion reported outside the hall: "The Imperial Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital has come and said he has something important to report to Lord Hou."

Wei Zhao nodded, originally wanted to get another servant to come in and guard him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he ordered his soldiers: "Go to the outer hall and call King Jing's son, and ask him to take care of His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the Marquis."

Imperial Physician Zhang was already waiting in the side hall. When he saw Wei Zhao coming in, he saluted hurriedly, and said, "My subordinates have checked and understood what the Lord Marquis entrusted. There was indeed realgar powder left in the Taoist's throat, but it was not an ordinary one. Realgar powder, but a kind of realgar powder specially used to tame snakes."

Wei Zhaofeng's eyes narrowed: "Sigar powder? What do you mean?"

"Regard powder is also made from realgar powder, but a lot of drugs that can make snakes hallucinate are added to it, such as psychedelic grass. In the Western Regions, many snake trainers use realgar powder to tame ferocious snakes."

Wei Zhao asked, "If someone takes realgar powder, what will happen?"

"Human?" Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head: "Strictly speaking, realgar powder is not a banned drug because it is only effective against snakes. If people take it, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"As for why the assassin used realgar powder to attack His Royal Highness, I am still puzzled."

Seeing Wei Zhao's uneasy expression, Doctor Zhang asked cautiously, "But what happened to His Royal Highness after taking realgar powder?"

"No, Your Highness is fine."

Wei Zhao covered his emotions, kept silent, and said: "Speaking of snake taming, Ben Hou just suddenly remembered that there was a centurion in the northern border army, and he was a snake trainer before joining the army. Ben Hou remembered that he sometimes After being stimulated by realgar, a blue snake pattern will appear on the arm, does the imperial doctor know what is going on? Could he belong to the category of people who are allergic to realgar?"

Imperial Physician Zhang pondered for a moment while twisting his beard, but shook his head: "No, I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never seen anyone allergic to realgar. The lieutenant that Lord Hou mentioned must have tamed green pythons before, right?"

"Green python?"

"That's right. The green python is an extremely ferocious snake. It is not only huge in size and sharp in teeth, but also good at sucking human blood, especially the blood of young people who have not broken through. It's just that this kind of snake is extremely rare, and my subordinates only I have seen it in the book. It is said that people who have been bitten by the green python will leave marks on their bodies, which is the blue snake pattern that Hou Ye mentioned just now. It is said to be the snake pattern, but in fact it is left behind when the green python bites. The venom in the human body will grow more and more snake marks as time goes by, until it spreads all over the body and completely swallows the person. And the poisoned person will also fester and die."

With a soft "click", the teacup in Wei Zhao's hand shattered in two, and the hot tea soup was spilled on the ground together with the broken porcelain pieces.

Doctor Zhang was taken aback: "Master Hou?"

Wei Zhao raised his hand to stop him, his phoenix eyes were gloomy as if a rainstorm was coming, and he asked hoarsely, "Is there a way to detoxify?"

"According to medical books, the gall of green pythons is fine, but it must be the gall of green pythons that have not been domesticated or taken realgar powder."

In the afternoon, Zhou Shen hurried into the palace again to meet Wei Zhao. As soon as they met, he said anxiously: "Master Hou, my subordinates asked Ye Jiu to go to the imperial mausoleum to find a few old servants who served the late emperor back then, and they indeed inquired about His Royal Highness. Something new."

Wei Zhao happened to be discussing the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom with Emperor Changping in the Imperial Study Room, after weighing it for a moment, he said, "Since it's about the crown prince, let's go into the palace and report to His Majesty to know."

"Subordinates obey."

Zhou Shen entered the palace, and after the salute, he said: "From those old servants, when the late emperor was around, His Highness was stimulated by something for a while, and suddenly became violent and moody, and killed several palace servants with a stick for no reason. , causing complaints inside and outside the palace. In order to silence everyone, the late emperor entrusted His Highness to Li Tianshi, who was preaching in the palace at that time, to discipline him. It is strange to say that His Highness studied Taoism with Li Tianshi for half a month. Afterwards, the hostility disappeared, and the docile and submissive nature of the past was restored. From then on, around the fifteenth day of every month, the late emperor would order His Highness to go to the Zixia Temple outside the city to learn from Li Tianshi, in order to sharpen his mind and serve the court. The people pray."

Zhou Shen quickly finished his report, but he didn't hear a response for a long time. When he looked up, he realized that his Lord Marquis and Emperor Changping, who was sitting behind the imperial case, were all pale.
