Chapter 79
Sima Yu yelled for help a few times, but the streets were empty, and there were huge beads of sweat on his forehead, so he could only rub the top of Sima Yue's head and comforted him while running: "There will be more in the future. "The two children ran quite fast, but they lacked strength after all. As they ran, the distance between them and that person became shorter and shorter.

Sima Yu looked around, took advantage of the man's blind spot at a corner, and hurriedly dragged Sima Yue into a dark alley.At this time, both of them were exhausted and couldn't run anymore, so they had to hide behind several big dye vats and panted like puppies.At first it was okay because of the nervous tension, but after a while, the surroundings were quiet and he couldn't see his fingers. Sima Yu suddenly recalled the fear of being locked up in a small dark room when he was seven years old, and suddenly fell ill and took a deep breath The limbs trembled uncontrollably.With a thump in his heart, he secretly thought that something was wrong, he hesitated for a while whether to take Sima Yue out, but immediately his legs became weak and he couldn't walk.

Sima Yue only felt that the hand holding him was cold and trembling, he turned his head in shock, tilted his head and asked softly, "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Yu swallowed with great difficulty, and said intermittently, "No...it's okay."

"Are you afraid?" Sima Yue stuttered when he heard that, brother Xindao must have been flustered and short of breath from fright, and he didn't mean to laugh at all, his two bright eyes showed concern.Sima Yu was speechless, completely let go of his hands, and sat leaning against the dye vat with his knees folded, his eyes closed in cold sweat.

Sima Yue poked his head out from behind the dye vat and saw no one was chasing him, so he crawled over to Sima Yu, touched Sima Yu's forehead, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. , saw that there was nothing to eat in his arms, and there was nothing to comfort him, so he pressed his head into his arms again,
"I didn't come after you, brother, don't be afraid!" He stroked Sima Yu's back with his hands like a little adult, and murmured, his soft and soft voice made people feel soft.Every time he was sick or unhappy, his mother would coax him like this, and it would really make him feel better. He thought, maybe brother Yu would get well soon!

Sima Yu couldn't remember exactly how long the last two stayed in the dark. Because of his difficulty in breathing, his mind was a little blurred. It was only later that he was carried back by the imperial guards of the capital who came out to look for the two princes.

On a festival like the First Yuan Day, the two princes disappeared for no reason, and the palace didn't dare to make a scene so that everyone would know about it, so they had to send troops overnight to search quietly.Both the emperor and the empress are very anxious. One is His Royal Highness, who is concerned with the country, and the other is the youngest among the princes who have been loved by the emperor since birth.It wasn't until the imperial army lived up to the emperor's order and brought the two back to the palace that the emperor and the empress breathed a sigh of relief.But the next step is to meet the emperor's monstrous anger. Sima Yu is older, so he bears the brunt of it.

As soon as Sima Yu woke up, he was announced to the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the emperor and empress, who asked him to kneel down without saying a word, and told the whole story.Sima Yu did not suspect him, and told the truth. Although Sima Yue provoked him, he admitted that he was playing for fun, so he deliberately downplayed the process of Sima Yue's proposal. It sounded like It's two kids who hit it off.After finishing speaking, before the emperor opened his mouth, Nalan Rong knelt down first, took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears as he said: "Yue'er is only seven years old, so young, and still has a lot of fun, His Royal Highness wants to come here just casually." After saying a few words, he got curious and left the palace together. Fortunately, the two little princes came back safely, and I hope His Majesty will spare them for the sake of Yue'er's young age and His Highness's carelessness."

Sima Yu couldn't figure out the meaning of these words at the time.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter is a scandal of the royal family, and punishment must be punished. Since there is a punishment, the implication of the empress's empress is that Sima Yue is younger, and the matter was instigated by Sima Yu, the elder brother.Although it was unintentional, he started the matter. Your Majesty, please don't punish the wrong person.

Although the emperor could not be said to be a wise king, he was not confused either.If he wants to understand, he only needs to ask one more question, and he will naturally understand.But the problem is that he has no intention of trying to find out whose fault it is.After all, in his mind, Sima was soft, cute, and young, so punishing him was somewhat cruel, and it was inevitable that the empress would make trouble in the harem.As for Sima Yu, he is old enough to be punished, and he should have taken more responsibilities when he was older. Is it something he picked? What does it matter?He looked at the eldest son who was kneeling in front of him again. He didn't give in from the beginning to the end. He said a word of softening. Very sensible, but especially unpleasant in today's eyes.

The emperor hesitated in his heart, and immediately sank his face: "Yu'er, as the eldest son of the emperor, you are too playful, and you teach your younger brother to do such things that violate your status! Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you? You have lost all the face of the royal family! Going into the dog hole! Well, you really have the ability!" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, gnashing his teeth, even Sima Yu had never seen his father become so angry, and he was stunned for a while dare not refute.

The emperor snorted coldly and waved his sleeves: "Take it down! Reflect on your ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then go to the ancestral mansion to get twenty rulers and be confined for one month."

With ten fingers connected to heart, Sima Yu's face was pale. When he took the twenty strokes of the ruler, he kept asking in his heart, why was he the only one who was punished?Why do you say you instigated it yourself?Why didn't Sima Yue come to speak for him, even a word?Finally, he looked at his red and swollen palms, and thought of what Sima Yue said: What's the difference?But they couldn't keep silent, and they were hit by the ruler a few times.

He looked gloomy.

This time, he really understood that he and Sima Yue were different.

It has been a month since I saw Sima Yue again. He passed by the Imperial Garden and saw Sima Yue clinging to the Queen like a clingy ball, acting like a spoiled child. The Queen was feeding him a mouthful of hibiscus porridge, as if nothing had happened Pass.

He laughed at himself, rubbed his still sore palm, and walked away silently.

After this incident, Sima Yue came to him again, but he ignored him.Gradually, as the two grew older, they each had ministers of support, camps, and mutual suspicion. They began to understand that the little corner of the father's heart was not just a father's love, but a position of power and even control. For their own lives, they became more and more silent, and they have since parted ways.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!!
Sima Yu withdrew his mind, General Yan Xi did not know when he was at his side, he blocked the knife for him, his eyes were red and said: "Don't be disturbed by him, we have too many deserters, there is no need to fight, order to retreat, and fight again If you go down, the city will be destroyed!!"

Sima Yu's expression froze, and he turned his head quickly. At a glance, Liang Guo's soldiers were still fighting sparsely, and they fell one by one. This battle suffered heavy losses, and it was indeed impossible to fight again.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat!"

The remaining soldiers of Liang State hurriedly withdrew to the city carrying the flag as if they had received an amnesty.Sima Yu glanced back at Uwe for the last time, trying to see a trace of Su Xiaoxiao from the opposite formation, but found nothing, so he could only frown and suppress the mania in his heart and beat his horse back to the city.

Uwe knew that there were still troops in the city, and that the gate was easy to defend but difficult to attack. He whistled and rode around leisurely on his horse, and had no intention of going up again.A lieutenant general with blood on his face stepped forward and asked, "Prince, can we attack the city?"

Uwe raised one corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "Don't be in a hurry, Sima Yu lost his wife and lost his army. It won't cost a single soldier to win this city, it will only happen overnight!"
