Chapter 134: Twins

Li Chaoge couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard it. What dynasty was this, and there was even a high priest? In order to meet the prophecy of the high priest, does it mean to choke a living child to death?

Obviously other people in the palace also felt too cruel. The servant woman who started talking knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "Queen..."

"Take the longest respect, take the eldest son away. As for the one who was born later, he should not have a relationship with the palace." The woman behind the screen paused after speaking, and said cruelly, "Bring water." "

"queen!"

"Hurry up, the king will come up in a while, it will be late for everything." That? The woman's voice is weak, but there is a kind of resolute madness in her words, "My son is the destiny, and my child will be Kuiguo. The king. How can Xuan Ji rival me?"

Li Chaoge didn't know? Why did she have such a dream, since she was not awake, she just looked at it at will. But when she heard what that woman said, she suddenly became vigilant.

Kuiguo? Did she get it wrong, that? The woman called the queen said that her child is the king of Kuiguo?

The servant woman had no choice but to go outside to fetch water. After a while, she came back with a copper basin, her hands trembling: "Queen, the water is coming."

Across the screen, Li Chaoge vaguely saw a woman who was struggling to get up from the bed. She was holding a child in her hand, with fetal blood still remaining on her body. She put the child in the basin with her hands down, as if she was going to drown him.

Li Chaoge couldn't stand it, she wanted to stop it, but found out that she couldn't act, as if she was restrained in place by an invisible force. Li Chaoge hadn't felt this feeling of helplessness for a long time. She was chilly and seemed to be immersed in water. Then, a sense of suffocation came.

That? The child was choked by the water, stroked weakly in the water, crying like a kitten. The woman's hands began to tremble. The servant woman couldn't stand it, she threw herself down on her knees, and said: "Queen, in any case, this is the flesh and blood of your birth. The palace is so big, which place can't raise a child? You can even take him? It's better to hand it to someone outside the palace than to drown him now."

The woman seemed to lose her strength, and she didn't move for a long time. Seeing this, the servant woman hurried forward and snatched the child from the queen. That? The child didn't even know that he had escaped from the dead, he tried to cough up a bit of water, his fists moved, as if he was trying to grab the hard-won heat source. Obviously he almost died just now, but now he is leaning on the servant's arm, grinning and grinning again.

The surrounding scenes changed, and Li Chaoge just stood in a new palace in the blink of an eye. This palace is far from the previous one. The hall is empty and visible. All doors and windows are firmly closed. There is no decoration in the hall. Even the tables and cabinets are heavy and low styles. It seems to be afraid. Something was knocked over, falling down and hitting a person.

Only children are afraid of being hit by debris. Li Chaoge walked slowly inside, and he saw a child sitting on the ground. This? The child looks about two years old, with pink makeup and jade. You can see that he looks good at a young age, but his skin is very white, as if he hasn't been in the sun since.

There is no one in the temple, so he can only stay by himself. He knelt on the ground, and carefully touched the sunlight on the ground with his fingers, which was the only light in the palace. He guarded the sunlight on the ground, every inch of the sunlight moved, he followed it forward? An inch, slowly, the sun set, and the last gleam of light disappeared.

His eyes are dark, as if glowing in the dim palace, but at this moment, those eyes are dimmed. He hung his head, at that moment, Li Chaoge strangely understood his thoughts.

The sun was gone, and the long night began again.

He obediently changed a place to sit, and after a while, the door opened quietly, and the food delivery person put the food box on the ground without showing up? He closed the door immediately. He staggered forward to eat, and everything that was familiar seemed to have gone through many times.

People like Li Chaoge who have been raised up can't stand it anymore. Who are his parents and how can they raise their children like this? He is only two years old and his peers should have run away long ago, but he can't even walk safely.

He couldn't lift the food box, and Li Chaoge approached, trying to help him get things. When she touched the food box, Li Chaoge's fingers passed through the air, and the surrounding scene changed again.

This time, he has grown taller again, and he is probably four or five years old. The four or five-year-old boy couldn't shut it down at all. He took advantage of the palace people's attention and quietly ran out of the crack in the door.

He crossed walls, climbed trees, and drilled holes all the way, as if rehearsing proficiently several times. He ran into the garden, he had never been so far since he had been, and the whole man was very happy. Li Chaoge found out that she seemed to be bound to this little boy, and when he ran outside, she was forced to keep up, and the farthest distance could not be more than ten feet. The palace man who looked after him was left behind long ago, but he was also smart, knowing that he could not bump into people, and avoided people all the way. But after all, he was too young, so happy he forgot his whereabouts and accidentally bumped into a servant.

The waiter's eyes widened when he saw him. The waiter quickly glanced backwards, lowered his voice, and yelled at the guards on both sides: "Where did the wild cats and dogs disturb the son's study? Please take it away!"

He was easily grabbed by his arm and couldn't move. The guard saw him drooping his eyelids, and he was about to leave. He didn't want to be sent back? He struggled hard. Once he went back, he would never find a chance to come out again!

In the chaos, behind the bush came a soft and sweet voice. Although the voice is immature, but the accent of the words can be distinguished: "Who is here?"

The waiter tensed up suddenly, and he walked back in small steps, his voice cautiously: "Go back to the eldest son, it's just a wild cat."

"In the palace, it's a wild cat, and it's more noble than the others." The child called the eldest son is obviously young, but there is a deterrent in his words. Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows. This? It's not easy for a child. How old is this to know how to hide things?

That? The eldest son seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said lightly: "Bring him here."

"Grand Prince..."

Inside? There was the sound of turning over the bamboo slips, and the old man didn't speak any more. Li Chaoge saw the servant walk out sweating, waved to the guards, motioned for them to let them down. The waiter looked at him? The little boy in front of him sighed softly and said, "I want to take you to see the prince. Be quiet when you meet the prince, do you understand?"

The little boy nodded. Although he was young, he instinctively told him that these people can't offend him, even more so than Aunt Xiang, who takes care of him.

After the little boy was brought to the bushes by the servant, Li Chaoge also saw the face of the old man because of this. As soon as he entered his eyes, Li Chaoge gasped.

Exactly the same.

Sure enough, this little boy was the twin brother who was almost drowned at the time, and the older man in front of him was undoubtedly the twin brother who was unanimously favored by his parents and priests.

The little boy didn't react when he saw the old man. He was young and had not looked in the mirror, so he naturally didn't know what he looked like. But the servants around him looked very strange. The old man sat on the couch and glanced over him, sighing and sighing, "It's the same."

Everyone bowed their heads deeper, not daring to answer. For the first time in his life, the little boy saw so many people. He was shocked by the scene in front of him, especially the person sitting on the couch, who was obviously about the same age as him, but far more leisurely and calm than him.

The little boy clenched his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The eldest son raised his eyes, seemed to think about it, and said, "According to the rules, you should call me Brother Wang."

The little boy stumbled and asked, "Brother Wang?"

Except for Aunt Xiang and his attendants, the little boy had never seen anyone else, had never read a book, never learned a word, and didn't know the meaning of "Brother Wang". The old man saw him with the same face as himself, but he was ignorant. The old man looked uncomfortable. He pointed to the book on his desk and asked, "Do you know the characters?"

The little boy shook his head. He didn't understand this? What the beautiful little boy said, but instinctively told him that he knew nothing. The eldest son sighed: "I still don't know the words. The queen raises you, so you really treat you like a cat and dog, locked in the cold palace?"

The attendant next to him? Hearing cold sweat: "Grandpa..."

The eldest son has been wise since he was a child. He can read and write since he was three years old. He is usually calm and not like a child. But the servant still couldn't figure it out. The queen kept the news about the twins so tight that even the king didn't know it? Dao gave birth to two children, how did the eldest son know that the Queen Dao hid one of the sons?

And also know that he is in the cold palace.

The eldest son patted the place next to the little boy, motioned him to come closer, pushed the ink away with his hand, and asked, "Is there a name?"

The little boy was stunned. He stood on the ground, wanting to approach but not daring to approach. When the old man saw his expression, he already understood. He wrote and slowly wrote a word on the bamboo slips: "I originally wanted to teach you to write a name, but the queen didn't give it to you, so forget it. You are. People of the Qin family should take the kingly way as the rope. What I teach you today is the word'king'."

After the eldest son finished writing, he glanced at him and asked, "I only teach it once. Have you learned it?"

The little boy nodded slowly, and the old man saw him? He threw the pen to him in a dull manner, without expressing any hope in his heart, and said, "Write one? Show me."

The waiter looked around and wanted to wipe his sweat. The eldest son was a child prodigy. He had learned anything from elementary school, so he naturally didn't understand the situation of ordinary children. A wild child who rarely talks to people and has never touched pen and ink, he can hold the pen and it is good, how can he be expected to learn to write after reading it?

But that? The wild boy actually wrote it while holding the pen. His gesture of holding a pen is very stiff, and his writing posture is wrong, but the strokes of the character "Wang" are the same as those written by the old man just now. The eldest son chuckled softly and said, "It's not stupid, it's much better than mine? How many? Brother Wang."

The waiter's eyes widened and he was obviously taken aback. Li Chaoge was also surprised. Reading? A child raised with care may not be able to write a single stroke at the age of five, but he did. Sure enough, they are twins, they look the same, even smart?

The little boy held the pen, unable to understand the situation at the moment. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong when he wrote it. Aunt Xiang sometimes didn't like him to be too smart. He instinctively stretched out his hand, wanting to return the pen to the old man. But the eldest son evaded coldly and said: "I never touch anything that someone else has used. I gave it to you. You take it back? Go."

Holding the pen in his hand, the little boy was in a dilemma. He didn't understand what he had done wrong. The eldest son lowered his head and continued reading. The little boy realized that the other party didn't want to talk, so he quietly stood aside. He squeezed the pen in his hand tightly and couldn't help but secretly glanced at the old man sitting on the couch.

The sights he glimpsed at this moment are the scenery he hasn't seen before, including this beautiful, intelligent, and noble prince, all of which he has never touched before.

Outside there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a gorgeously dressed woman hurried over and saw the two of them, her pupils shrinking.

The little boy was ignorant, unconscious, and looked curiously at the beautiful and dignified woman in front of him. He also saw Aunt Xiang behind the woman. The eldest son got up? He didn't hesitate to salute: "Mother Queen."

The queen regarded the eldest son as the root of her life, but at this moment, she was staring at the people on the ground, and she couldn't say the whole thing for a long time: "You...how do you..."

"Mother Queen." The eldest son intercepted the queen coldly, "Do you think the father really doesn't know what you do? He is getting older, and there is always one day he can't hide? One day. Instead of letting Xuan Ji go. If my son grows stronger, it's better to let him out."

"But you..."

The eldest son looked back at the little boy. The eldest son's eyes didn't understand the little child, but Li Chaoge understood it all at once. The eldest son didn't want these words to be heard, so he pointed to the chessboard next to him and said, "This is my new white jade chess. Let's take him down to play."

The waiter walked forward and left with the little boy in his arms. Li Chaoge would love to hear this? What is the little evildoer of Duozhi close to the demon want to say to the queen, but the boy was taken away, and Li Chaoge couldn't resist and followed him away. The servant put the little boy on the stone table far away. He sat on the stone and played with the chessboard in his hand. He was very well-behaved. When the breeze blew, purple petals fell from the top of his head. Li Chaoge looked at the dense checkered lines in the little boy's hand, and suddenly felt dizzy.

There seemed to be a muffled thunder in his ears, Li Chaoge suddenly opened his eyes, just to see a chessboard in front of him, purple flowers raining rustlingly, laying a thin layer on the chess grid. Li Chaoge held down on her temples. At this time, she found out that she was still leaning on Gu Mingke's shoulder. He was supporting the window sill with one hand and seemed to be asleep.

Gu Mingke will fall asleep?

There was another thunder from the horizon, and Gu Mingke suddenly woke up. He frowned, his fingers pressed against the center of his eyebrows, looking very uncomfortable.

Li Chaoge looked at him and asked softly: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Mingke turned his head and saw Li Chaoge. He paused before realizing where it was. He looked back and swept around, making sure that he was still in the palace. Just now Li Chaoge fell asleep leaning on him. Gu Mingke didn't want to disturb her, so he didn't move. Before he knew it, he fell asleep too.

Gu Mingke pressed his eyebrows again and said, "It's okay, I had a dream. Have you been awake for a long time?"

Did he dream too? Li Chaoge didn't reveal his dreams, but said: "No, I just woke up. I have been pillowing your shoulders, are you tired?"

Gu Mingke waved his hand gently, indicating that he was okay. He is not in a high mood, not because he is Li Chaoge.

The maid came in, closed the window, saw them, and said quickly: "Princess Shengyuan, Ma Ma, you finally wake up. The queen was tired just now, so Rokuro accompanied you back? Go to rest. The queen saw that you were asleep before she left. The maidservant wakes you up. It's thundering outside. I'm afraid it will rain soon. The maidservant is worried that the princess and the maid will catch a cold. Fortunately, you are awake."

Only then did Li Chaoge notice that the hall was quiet. She stood up? Seeing Gu Mingke motionless, she stretched out her hand to him and said, "Let's go, let's go back too."

Gu Mingke looked at the palm of her hand and felt a trance in his heart. He quickly returned to God, he is Beichen Tianzun, and now he is performing a mission in the mortal world. Kui Kingdom has died, and now it is the Tang Dynasty. This is the princess of the Tang Dynasty and his wife in front of him.

Gu Mingke put her palms on her hands and held them tightly as soon as their fingers touched. Without using Li Chaoge's force, Gu Mingke stood up from his seat.

The lady of the court saw from the side, her eyes blushing and she lowered her eyes. The relationship between Princess Sheng Yuan and her husband is really good. Just now the two of them slept close together. Princess Sheng Yuan was resting on the shoulder of the husband while the horse was holding the window and closing his eyes. Both of them looked picturesque, beautiful and purple. The petals fell on the two of them, like a couple of gods and goddesses. The maid did not dare to bother, the queen came to see it, and did not have the heart to wake them up, but took Rokuro Goro and the entourage? and left.

Now, the two woke up together, and even went back to the palace to hold hands.

Outside? There was a strong wind and moisture, and it was about to rain soon. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke's clothes were blown up layer by layer. When they returned to the bedroom, heavy raindrops had fallen from the corridor.

On the way, Gu Mingke walked outside to block the wind outside the corridor for Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge was not very wet, but the edges of Gu Mingke's clothes were soaked. Gu Mingke went to the back to change his clothes, and Li Chaoge also removed the hairpin and loosened his hair under the service of the maid. Li Chaoge took off his large sleeve skirt outside and went to the clean room to take a shower. When she came out wearing her shirt, Gu Mingke had also sorted it out.

It was late at night, and both of them changed into close-fitting snow-white shirts. The maidservants arranged their bedding, brought candles, and asked, "Princess, Madam, do you need a vigil tonight?"

Li Chaoge stiffened, she quickly glanced at Gu Mingke and said, "No."

How do the two of them sleep today is still a problem? If you want to keep one? The maid stayed under their bed, then? I'm afraid that no one else? Live. The maid agreed clearly. The princess and the maid had a good relationship. Naturally, they didn’t like to watch.

Li Chaoge asked instinctively: "Water?"

Gu Mingke came over, held Li Chaoge's shoulder, and said to the maid: "I know it. Go down."

The maid's eyes swept across Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge, blushing, and bowing together. After Li Chaoge realized, he finally reacted.

After the nobles exercise at night, many will ask people to bring water in, and then go to sleep after scrubbing. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke didn't have this trouble. Naturally, they never called for water at night, which caused Li Chaoge to suddenly fail to respond. What kind of water does she need?

It turns out that this is the palace lady? Meaning...

What's more terrible is that she asked it out. Li Chaoge's whole body in embarrassment? It's all wrong, and Gu Mingke didn't expect Li Chaoge to say so. He blew out the candle, and the sleeping hall plunged into darkness. Gu Mingke stood in the dark, dressed in white clothes, and said, "There is someone outside. Let's lie on the bed and behave."

Li Chaoge nodded, climbed onto the bed stupidly, and wrapped himself to death with the quilt. After a while, a faint walking sound came from the side: "Aren't you hot?"

Li Chaoge's eyebrows jumped uncontrollably, and said angrily: "Can you see?"

"Hush." ​​Gu Mingke whispered while sitting on the side of the bed, "Keep it down." Li Chaoge was dizzy, not knowing whether he was angry, hot or embarrassed. The palace is different from the princess mansion. In addition to the maids they brought, there are also many palaces who are the palace itself. Therefore, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke can't sleep separately like in the princess mansion. They have to pretend to be.

Li Chaoge lay down for a while, patted the bed with Gu Mingke, and said: "Lie down, wait a while for them to fall asleep before you act. Otherwise, you sit on my bedside without moving, as if you are about to murder me."

Gu Mingke was amused: "What are you thinking about in your head every day?"

Even so, Gu Mingke lay down. He leaned on the edge, half an arm away from Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge also moved silently to the wall. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Li Chaoge felt embarrassed to continue, Yuanchang said: "We haven't slept in the same bed before, don't you? Don't be nervous."

There was silence beside him for a while, and Gu Mingke sounded with some patience: "Don't talk anymore."

Li Chaoge thought that she would help him kindly, but he thought she was too talkative. Li Chaoge turned around, closed his eyes with his back to Gu Mingke, and didn't bother to talk to him again.

Outside? The rain knocked on the eaves of the windows, and the sound was dingdongdingdong, I don't know where the fragrance of flowers floated into the palace. Li Chaoge wanted to lie down for a while, but he didn't notice that he fell asleep while breathing the light and sweet fragrance.

She went back to the dream just now. That weak little boy has grown up again. This time, he changed into heavy clothes, and his servants increased a lot, but he still lived in the original cold palace.

Others called him "Second Young Master", but he lived alone in a cold palace, rarely went out, and almost no one came to see him. In the quiet palace, he was sitting at the table, the sunlight climbed on his fingers and cheeks, and then slowly disappeared into the west window. Day by day, he was reading, reading a lot of books.

This seems to be a picture with the sound pinched out? During the long years of growing up, he has endless books and memorizations every day. Sometimes in the quiet night, there will be a servant hurriedly holding a bundle of books? Come over, piled in his case, and confessed in a low voice: "Second son, these books? The oldest son is too late to read, you must memorize them. If there is a need, just like last time."

He nodded quietly. He didn't ask, nor did the servant mention it, so Li Chaoge didn't know? Like last time, what exactly was it like?

I don't know how long it has been before, the boy with picturesque brows is tall, showing a good figure with shoulder widths and long legs. This day seemed to be very grand. He changed into dark dark clothes with a ring on his waist. He was solemn and quiet between his hands and feet, standing there like a natural nobleman. The attendant took him along the secret path to a palace: "Second Young Master, today there are thirty? Ten? Doors, nations? Four young masters come from four? Three? The king attaches great importance to this discussion, Kuiguo? Let’s do it in one fell swoop."

The second son said nothing, quietly walking in the quiet and dark secret road. Attendant? Continue to explain: "Even if the eldest son is born early, learning that? It is too reluctant to learn so much. After a while, the two of you will take turns out. Say, if someone asks about things in your life, you will be quiet, and then the eldest son will find a way to round the field. This argument is very important, and you must not be seen as two people."

The second son lowered his eyes and said the only thing he had said since Li Chaoge's second dream: "I know it."

Li Chaoge woke up from his dream, his nose seemed to be filled with the cold fragrance. Li Chaoge sniffed, and found that it was actually transmitted from his body.

She actually slept all night. Li Chaoge blinked and found that he was leaning on Gu Mingke's shoulder, his hand was still on his arm, his breath was full of his breath. Li Chaoge clearly remembered that before going to bed last night, she turned sideways to face the wall, and the distance between Gu Mingke and Gu Mingke was enough to sleep another person. When did she roll over?

Li Chaoge quietly retracted his hand and silently moved himself back. She had never slept with anyone before, and she didn't know that she had a problem with rolling around. However, she just fell asleep, what happened to Gu Mingke?

He closed his eyes and lay quietly on the bed, sleeping in a correct and stable position, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. He looked beautiful and harmless when he fell asleep, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he were not happy in his dream.

What's up with him? Li Chaoge was a ghost, leaning over and sniffing at the collar of Gu Mingke. She always felt that the smell was very similar to the one in her dreams.

Li Chaoge wanted to smell it more carefully, so he opened his eyes. The two looked at each other, and the singer Li Chao was still pinching Gu Mingke's collar.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Chaoge stiffly let go of his collar and said, "I'm just taking a look at what kind of fabric it is, don't you? Misunderstanding."
