"return!"
The fourth prince immediately jumped up from the bed, obviously wanting to chase her, but due to illness in the past few days, he had no strength at all, and fell back before he could stand up, feeling dizzy.
Chen Xueying didn't even stop, she held up her skirt and walked out.
Seeing that she was walking resolutely, the fourth prince immediately got out of bed and stumbled out to chase her.
"You come back, I'm not seeking death."
He shouted quickly, but because he walked too fast, he fell directly to the ground.
After hearing the "pop" sound of someone hitting the ground, Chen Xueying finally turned around.
The originally unruly boy was lying on the ground, stretching out his hand towards her. His image as an annoying naughty boy suddenly changed. He looked thin and pitiful, as if he had been greatly wronged.
She sighed softly and walked back slowly, but still two or three meters away from him.
"Since you don't want to die, then wash up and send those wolf brothers away together. They say the dead are the most important, and you don't want them to be unable to rest in peace." Chen Xueying slowed down her voice.
The fourth prince was silent. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead popped out.
Obviously whenever he thinks about the bloody battle that night, he can't help but show hatred.
It was like a knife piercing the heart, cutting back and forth repeatedly. Even if the knife was removed at this moment, the wound was still there and it was difficult to heal.
"I'm not ready yet. I'll wait for a few more days."
After a long time, he spoke, with a rare hint of weakness in his tone.
Chen Xueying stared at him seriously. At this age, the boy was handsome and usually a domineering wolf cub, but now he showed vulnerability and was always hurt by others.
If the Queen had been here, she would have been able to hold him in her arms and comfort him.
It's a pity that Chen Xueying doesn't accept this trick.
"Are you talking about three days or four days? After all, you are just trying to escape. Lu Qingyue, in my impression, you are a wolf cub, not a dog cub."
The fourth prince was instantly irritated: "Don't call me that name!"
"You have always said that I am a son of a bitch, why have you changed now? Besides, this so-called courtesy, isn't it to train a wolf into a dog? What he needs is not a human, just a dog. Only by being a dog can I save my life. ."
After he finished speaking, he turned over and lay on the ground, his tone full of reluctance and ridicule.
"Have you thought it through?" she asked.
The young man replied angrily: "I wonder if it has anything to do with you!"
What he said just now was just an act of self-abasement and impulsiveness after being extremely sad, but if he really wanted to be Lu Wuji's dog, he would rather die.
"Since you want to be a dog, you have to keep your eyes open when choosing a master. Those wolf brothers who have people attacking you and want to kill them all are definitely not good. You can hide as far away as you can. How about being a dog for me? ? It just so happens that the favor you owe me is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea. It will be difficult to repay it in this life. If you are an obedient little dog, you can just barely repay it."
It was obvious that he was telling him by name not to be loyal to Lu Wuji.
After she finished speaking, she took another step closer, stretched out her finger to hook him, and made a teasing sound of "chirp, chirp, chirp" in her mouth, obviously teasing the dog.
When the fourth prince saw her in this state, he became furious and immediately wanted to attack her.
Chen Xueying had long been on guard against his move and immediately took two steps back, but he couldn't even walk steadily, let alone attack. She fell back halfway, leaving her with a disgraced face.
"You are shameless and vicious!" The fourth prince punched the ground angrily.
However, his incompetent and furious look made Chen Xueying throw her head back and laugh.
She always thought that this wolf cub was illiterate and couldn't understand human speech, but she didn't expect that he could hold back a few idioms.
Sure enough, none of the princes who could survive in the Northern Qi royal family were simple.
Even the fourth prince who lives at the bottom has very good acting skills.
"I'm going out to have tea. After I finish one cup, I'll go collect the corpses of your wolf brothers. Come or not is up to you!"
After she had laughed enough, she put away her smile and said seriously.
The fourth prince was silent for a moment and said in a dull voice: "I understand."
Seeing what he said, Chen Xueying knew that he had agreed, so she picked up her skirt and went to the outer hall.
The outer hall has been tidied up long ago, and the room is filled with the fresh fragrance of tea, which is her favorite drink.
The fourth prince lay on the ground. He gritted his teeth and tried several times, but he couldn't get up from the ground.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa Cao, are you just looking at me lying on the ground?"
Eunuch Cao, who had been standing in the hall and watched the entire process, immediately stepped forward after hearing this.
Although his hair was gray, he was very strong. He grabbed the fourth prince's arm with one hand and pulled him up. His unassuming posture was clearly that of a practicing master.
"Your Highness liked to lie on the ground before. I thought you didn't want to go to bed." Eunuch Cao explained.
The fourth prince frowned: "At this time, you are also making fun of me? I used to be a wolf, so I naturally had to lie in the den, but now I have become a human."
He finally returned to bed and immediately took a few breaths, obviously extremely weak.
"She just bullied me like this, why were you indifferent?" He asked after he had rested enough.
"The Crown Princess is just joking with you."
"Are you kidding? Who is joking and calling people a bitch, and wants me to be a bitch for her? She dares to dream in broad daylight! And when I was in a coma, she cursed me every day , I know it all!" The fourth prince said excitedly.
Although he was seriously ill and almost unconscious, he still had some impression that Chen Xueying came to Hailang Hall every day to curse him.
"The Crown Princess is actually hard-spoken and soft-hearted. There are not many people in this palace who really care about you, and the Crown Princess is definitely one of them. Although the words she says are not pleasant, she comes to feed you medicine every day regardless of rain or shine, and for the sake of When you make a deal with that person, don't listen to what she says, but watch what she does." Eunuch Cao said earnestly.
"Besides, before the Crown Princess came, you were depressed and depressed, and it seemed like you couldn't survive. Now at least you have some energy, even if you are angry with her."
He is a member of the Queen's Empress, and has been transferred to take care of the Fourth Prince since he was young.
It's just that because of the old pervert Lu Wuji's need for control, he can't take care of much.
He secretly taught the fourth prince how to speak, but he just pretended not to be able to speak in order to avoid being polite.
But some things are destined to be inevitable.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did she give you? The reason why she came to feed you the medicine was to see my jokes and to torture me. That day she made an exchange. Although it was partly because of me, most of it was for the prince. She was afraid of her eldest brother When facing the old man face to face, the eldest brother will definitely suffer. She feels sorry for the prince, so she takes the initiative to speak." The fourth prince said in a dissatisfied tone.
Eunuch Cao sighed softly: "Even if it is for His Highness the Crown Prince, then His Highness the Crown Prince will fight with that person to save you. Husband and wife will not separate the family, you have to show your gratitude."
The fourth prince curled his lips and said no more words to refute.
He muttered to himself: Grandpa Cao must be dim-sighted because he actually thinks Chen Xueying is a good person!
Chen Xueying slowly drank a cup of tea, and the fourth prince who had packed up happened to appear.
Compared with his previous sloppy appearance, he is now very well-dressed in brocade clothes.
It's just that he is still ill, which makes the young man look less energetic. On the contrary, he still has a sick air.
She looked at him carefully and commented softly: "Not bad, he finally looks like a man."
The fourth prince frowned. He opened his mouth to ask her to stop talking if she didn't know how to speak, but he remembered that Lu Qingfeng had faced her before and had been defeated repeatedly. Chen Xueying was very good at playing tricks, and he couldn't win at all, so he was wise. The ground closed his mouth.
Eunuch Cao led the way, and the two of them walked all the way to the underground martial arts arena of Hailang Hall.
Hailang Hall itself is not big, and the underground martial arts arena is also two small ones.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, I felt a chill coming over me.
The candles were lit, and a few pieces of cloth were spread on the ground in the center. Several wolf corpses were placed on it, and ice buckets were placed around them.
When the fourth prince saw these wolf corpses, he instantly became depressed again. The vitality that had been finally aroused seemed to begin to fade again.
He was silent for a moment, then asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are the other living wolves?"
"The ground is not conducive to recuperation. The old slave placed them in the side hall. They have been seen by the imperial doctor and they are all recuperating." Eunuch Cao returned.
The fourth prince nodded and counted the wolf corpses again and again.
The number of wolves he can own is not many, there are only ten in total, and now there are five here, half of them dead.
The remaining five animals only had a few years to live, and they were seriously injured and could not live much longer.
Compared to the so-called parents and brothers, these wolves were his real relatives. Facing such a scene at this moment, he felt sad again and his eyes turned red.
Chen Xueying allowed him to cry until she had enough, then stepped forward and raised her hand to rest on his shoulder.
"My condolences." She said softly, with a bit of tenderness in her tone.
The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and was about to nod when he heard her say again: "Do you want to be buried or cremated? I suggest that you be cremated and buried directly. No matter how deep the hole is dug, there will be a smell. Damn it, old man! Probably agree, maybe his fighting wolves will smell the rot and dig them out."
In an instant, the softness in her heart immediately receded. She knew how to irritate him.
The young man immediately turned his head and glared at her viciously.
There are only three places for the dead in the palace. One is for palace residents who are helpless or guilty and are dragged directly to mass graves after death; the second is for palace residents who die well and are sent out of the palace with grace from their masters. Buried outside; the third type is when the masters died and were sent to the imperial mausoleum.
As Chen Xueying said, it was impossible for him to bury these wolf corpses directly. There were wolves with keen sense of smell everywhere in the palace, and they would probably be dug up, causing no peace.
"Cremate."
Eunuch Cao had already prepared the cremation matter and was just waiting for the fourth prince's nod.
The wolf corpses were carried up one by one, and they found a remote place nearby and burned them.
When the flames swallowed up these wolves, the fourth prince could no longer resist and fell to the ground crying.
Chen Xueying stood quietly in the corner and watched. Even though she had no feelings for these wolves, just thinking about their death method and the repressive Beiqi rules made her heart heavy.
In addition to Lu Zhao's wolf pack, she was also very familiar with the fourth prince's wolf pack, and had even interacted with them several times, although most of them had conflicts.
The last time they besieged the Princess Mansion, although they were also in the sea of fire, they were fresh and wild at that time, and they looked like a scourge that could live for a long time.
But now when he encounters fire again, he has turned into corpses.
She didn't look any further and quietly left the yard.
Half an hour later, he came out holding the urn.
The cemetery has also been selected, and it is in the small garden of Hailang Palace. Although it has been left bare by wolves, it still seems to be the most scenic place in Hailang Palace.
Lu Qingyue dug the hole with a shovel herself, while Chen Xueying found a place and asked the palace officials to bring tables and chairs. She sat aside as if watching a show, and even had melons and fruits prepared.
The fourth prince paid no attention to her. He carefully dug the hole and carefully placed each wooden box in it with a pious attitude.
The soil in the pit was filled up, and Chen Xueying saw that it was almost finished, so she walked over slowly, leaned over and wanted to grab some soil and sprinkle it to express her feelings, but she looked at her white hands, which were in sharp contrast with the dark brown soil. , and finally she took back her hand.
"Fourth brother, please grab an extra handful of dirt for me and express your condolences." She sighed softly, with a regretful expression on her face.
The fourth prince frowned, almost forming a "Sichuan" shape.
"They don't care about them. You even joined forces with your eldest brother to bully them. If you were Jiatu, they would never rest in peace!" The fourth prince deliberately said annoying words.
Chen Xueying thought for a moment, nodded, and said in agreement: "You are right."
After she finished speaking, she took out an orange from her sleeve and began to peel it slowly.
"Are you going too far by eating and drinking in front of the grave?" Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and shouted at her with a loud voice.
Chen Xueying curled her lips and continued eating indifferently.
When she finished eating an orange, she shook her handkerchief, spilled the orange seeds wrapped in it onto the grave, and stepped on it with her feet.
"This grave is bare and unsightly. I will plant some oranges. When orange trees grow, they will come back to accompany you."
"Fourth brother, you owe me another favor. In fact, I don't like to eat oranges, but in order to extend their lives, I ate them whole for you. How touching. You should keep it in your heart for the future. Repay me.":,,
