Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 53
In the heavy rain, Sima Yu stood on a muddy mountain, as if he was facing a huge ruin, his eyes were full of desolation.

Surrounded by people looking for Su Xiaoxiao, Lan'er was crying and shouting Xiaoxiao's name, she just ran two steps when she tripped in a puddle, her face was covered in mud and her pants were torn. Yan Ziheng fished her out of the pit, she wiped her face, rummaged and shouted again.

After the collapse of the mountain, the mountain lost its original shape, and there was no smooth road, and everyone was climbing and searching for it.It was already dark, and someone brought up a few lamps, like will-o'-the-wisps among barren tombs.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it tonight, so come back at dawn tomorrow." General Yan Xi covered Sima Yu's head with an umbrella, and persuaded with a sigh, "Your Royal Highness is a noble person, so don't lose the big by being small. General Bai is still guarding the camp, so I'm afraid he will become suspicious after a long time."

The rain dripped from Sima Yu's hair. He glanced at Yan Xi and said calmly, "Go back first, and I will go over there to have a look."

As he spoke, he walked out of the umbrella and walked towards the valley to the west. The slope of this valley had been searched just now, but a dark place at the bottom of the valley could not be seen clearly because of the darkness.The hillside was extremely muddy and slippery, very dangerous, so he didn't go down to look for it. After all, he was still not at ease and wanted to go down and have a look.

Cautiously, he slipped and walked towards the bottom of the valley.General Yan Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly followed. After following a few steps, he suddenly slipped and fell on the half slope. Shout out for someone to come over.

Hearing Yan Ziheng's voice from the slope, Sima Yu seemed to have dropped another rope after a while. Sima Yu shouted to Yan Xi: "General Yan, you go up first, and I will come up after going down to have a look." He looked up again. Glancing at the height, he slid down more cautiously with Qinggong.

This trough was much deeper than expected, and after about half a stick of incense, he felt that he had stepped on a flat piece of land, so he took light work and stepped on it firmly, and it was indeed the end.You can barely see your fingers here, the rain has lightened, but there is still no moonlight or starlight. In the thick darkness, his heart beat faster and his breathing became short of breath.Suddenly he heard a faint sound of water flowing in front of him, and he groped towards the direction of the sound.

The sound of stepping on the water came from under his feet. He stagnated and adjusted to the light. He could vaguely see the tiny luster of the water flowing under his feet. Rainwater accumulated by terrain.Suddenly seeing a vague outline on the ground in the distance, he hastily stumbled and walked quickly.

Getting closer, as if in human form, he bent down and groped eagerly: "Xiao Xiao? Is that you?"

Suddenly he realized that he only touched a torso, a burly torso without limbs, and his fingertips were a little sticky. He let go of his hand quickly and looked at his hands, which seemed to be stained with black thick blood.He straightened up and let out a long breath. This was probably the body of the Tartar who was killed today.It wasn't small, which made him very relieved.

He calmed down his breath, and continued to walk forward, with large beads of sweat unconsciously appearing on his forehead, he was suddenly dizzy, his legs became weak, he staggered a step, and quickly supported the rock wall to stand still. gasping.The darkness where you can't see your fingers is not only the scar he dare not touch, but also the fear he is most familiar with.

When he was very young, about five or six years old, his temperament was not so cold and aloof.At that time, he lived far away from other princes and princesses, and he usually only had a nanny and a nanny by his side. After the death of his biological mother, the queen was his mother, but the two were not close, and could even be said to be extremely estranged.It is sad to have no mother's love, and lonely without playmates, but fortunately, he has no way to compare, and he doesn't care about food and clothing, and is very ignorant, so he doesn't care much about these. He just feels carefree and laughs often. , which made the emperor feel very fond of him.But when he was seven years old, he had to attend the enlightenment class with the prince of the same age. Before he was seven years old, there was almost no one to discipline him, and when he was enlightened, his homework always fell behind.This caused the emperor to often lose his temper, thinking that he was not a good seed to be a prince, but he was busy with political affairs, so he entrusted the queen with full authority to teach the prince, and asked her to discipline him strictly.

One day, everyone was in class, and the queen happened to be listening behind the curtain. The Tai Tuo asked Sima Yu to get up and answer the Six Confucian Arts. He mistakenly answered "royalty" as "riding", so he was bestowed by the Tai Tuo with the sentence "more than clumsy, not clever enough". The verdict caused laughter in the classroom.Sima Yu was so embarrassed that the queen stayed behind after class and reprimanded him for being stubborn and stupid.He refused to accept it, so he retorted, calling her an "evil queen and poisonous concubine", and said that Sima Yue only likes to ride wooden horses and dance wooden swords, and it may be even worse when he is enlightened.The empress, who had always been graceful and magnanimous in front of outsiders, lost all her aura at this moment, and in a hurry she slapped him backhandedly, and then ordered someone to lock him in a dark room and face the wall to think about his mistakes.

At this time, Sima Yu was only seven years old. He was cold, hungry and frightened in the dark. When he was terrified, he imagined all kinds of ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to eat him.He knocked on the door with all his strength and shouted, but no one opened it for him.In the end, he was hoarse, so he had to fall asleep with his face full of tears hugging his knees, but he was awakened by the nightmare after a while, tired from crying and fell asleep slowly, and so on three times, tortured several times.

That day was Sima Yue's birthday.The imperial garden was full of singing and dancing, delicious food and wine, the empress had forgotten about the confinement of the prince, and only remembered it after a whole day, and ordered someone to release him, but at this time he had a high fever and lost consciousness.The imperial doctor was summoned, and it took about half a month for treatment before he recovered.

But the emperor knew nothing about it. The empress only told the emperor that Sima Yu had caught a cold. She even cried bitterly in front of the emperor, saying that she did not take good care of the prince and was willing to accept the punishment. The emperor felt indebted Queen, if she is really punished, forget it.At that time, she covered the sky with one hand, and he was weak and deceitful, so the truth was hidden like this.But for Sima Yu today, it doesn't matter whether the emperor knows or not.Later, he began to work hard, became reticent, and gradually understood the secrets that could be said in the palace. He vowed not to give the enemy the slightest chance to attack him. He became more and more powerful, indifferent, hard.But no one knows that the endless darkness in the dark room that day and night has had a huge psychological and physical impact on him and continues to this day. Once faced with a dark night where he can't see his fingers, he will feel flustered and short of breath, have difficulty breathing, and sweat profusely .

The rain had completely stopped, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Suddenly, a faint spot of light flashed in front of him, bringing him back to his senses.It was a firefly flying forward danglingly.Sima Yu raised his heels, and just walked a few steps, when he heard a "gudu" sound.The sound was very small, almost inaudible, just like the sound of bubbles breaking, only so lightly.But in this extremely quiet environment, Sima Yu still caught him.
