Chapter 175 Xie Ruiji (2)

Xie Ruitang recalled his second brother in his previous life. Before he committed suicide in prison, there was indeed a rumor in the palace that he was like Long Yang. Other than that, he did nothing extraordinary. Although he was mediocre, he was a well-behaved prince.Xie Ruiji has been very kind to his brothers since he was a child, and he doesn't have too many thoughts. He is often teased by himself and his fourth child.

Just because he is the eldest son, he has been asked and trained as a prince since he was a child.The emperor had favored Concubine Ji alone for many years, and the queen could not help but vent her resentment on him sometimes, and was even more harsh on him.Xie Ruiji was very afraid of his mother.

Xie Ruitang remembered that one day when they were young, Zhao Muche secretly brought a set of banned books "Water Margin" into the palace. Several friends hid in the little prince's palace and watched with relish until the sky was dark.Unexpectedly, the fourth child quietly went to tell the queen.When the queen came to the East Palace, they were still full of heroic feelings and indulged in words.

The queen shouted angrily: "Kneel down, everyone!" The little prince's face turned green when he heard his mother's voice.Several people knelt down outside the main hall.

"Tell me! Who brought the book into the palace?" The queen didn't seem to want to settle the matter.

Sun Yanxi raised her head, lowered her eyes and said: "The Queen, the book... the book was brought into the palace by a villain. If the villain realizes that he is wrong, please punish the Queen."

"As the prince's companion, you lead the prince to read these anti-ban books. Is it wrong to punish you? Come on, beat me!" The queen glared at Sun Yanxi fiercely.Two chamberlains came out from the side, carrying a stool and pressed Sun Yanxi onto the stool.The prince's face was full of anxiety, but he did not dare to disobey his mother.

Zhao Muzhe immediately said loudly: "Auntie, don't hit him. I brought the book in. If you want to hit him, hit me!" Muzhe was young and grew up in front of the Queen Mother. No one had ever dared to hit him. .

"Do you think I dare not beat you?" The queen said coldly: "Since you come out to show off as a hero, I will beat you too! Bring me a stool!"

The two chamberlains brought up another stool. Before Zhao Muche could press it down, Xie Ruitan lay down on it: "Hit me, if you want, hit me. I've already finished reading the book."

"Haha! It's really different after reading the counter-narrative. So what if I beat you? You monkey should have been beaten long ago! Beat me!" the queen shouted sternly, with an ugly smile on her face.The little prince looked at his mother's face and suddenly felt that she was so strange.

The servants were in a dilemma: Sun Yanxi was the son of a second-rank minister, so he could be beaten, but Xie Ruitan was the prince, what if he was beaten?
Seeing that the chamberlain was hesitant to take action, the queen became angry and grabbed the stick from the chamberlain's hand, raised it high and hit Xie Ruitan who was lying down.The little prince didn't care about anything and rushed to block his younger brother. The queen's stick hit him hard on the back.

Amid everyone's exclamations, the queen threw away the stick in her hand and did not go over to look at the young prince. She only said coldly: "As a prince, your words and deeds are shameless. You deserve this punishment!" After saying that, she shook her head. Gone without returning.

Concubine Ji, who came after hearing the news, looked at the injuries on the prince's back and applied medicine to the prince while feeling distressed and crying.At that time, Xie Ruitang was just glad that the queen was not his biological mother. Looking back now, Xie Ruiji, who was lying on the bed with an expressionless face, felt so helpless in his heart.

Every step of Xie Ruiji's life was arranged by the queen, so he just bowed his head and accepted it.It wasn't until he and Duan Xuyan were caught on the spot in the martial arts arena and later sent to the imperial mausoleum that he finally got rid of his mother.

Xie Ruiji first discovered that he liked men when he was 15 years old.That time, he went hunting with his guards. When he came back, he passed a pool. The weather was too hot, so several half-grown men went down to swim and bathe together.Unexpectedly, the water in the mountain pool was extremely cold. Xie Ruiji's calf cramped just after entering the water. His body sank, and his cramped leg was entangled in water plants. Just when Xie Ruiji wanted to call for help, water poured into his mouth.During the thump, Duan Xuyan swam over and hugged him, and it took a lot of effort to pull him to the shore.

Xie Ruiji, who had just experienced the fear of death, looked at Duan Xuyan who was also embarrassed, and both of them couldn't help laughing.The two vigorous young men were so close to each other that they both had a strange feeling about each other.The two of them also knew whether to let this strange emotion spread, and Duan Xuyan often even deliberately avoided it.

One night, Xie Ruiji couldn't sleep, so he thought of practicing sword practice in the garden. Unexpectedly, Duan Xuyan was already one step ahead of him, and was dancing with a sword in the depths of the garden, like a rabbit and a dragon.Xie Ruiji got excited and flew over. The two of them started fighting each other.They had practiced this set of swordsmanship together countless times. The tacit understanding of every move and the attraction of every move completely broke their hearts.

After finishing a set of sword skills, both of them were still unfinished.Xie Ruiji walked up to Duan Xuyan, stared into his eyes and asked, "Tell me, why are you always avoiding me?"

Duan Xuyan turned his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at him, but he said dishonestly: "Prince, please transfer me to be a palace guard. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Xie Ruiji's heart was beating wildly. Whether it was because he had just finished dancing with the sword or because of the turmoil in his heart, his face was also red.But he chased after him, took a step forward and asked, "What can't you resist?"

Duan Xuyan was already being approached by him step by step, with his back pressed against the rockery wall, unable to retreat.With a strong youthful spirit, he gave it all, gritted his teeth and looked directly at Xie Ruiji, two balls of fire bursting out of his eyes: "I can't help but follow you, and we will never be separated for the rest of my life; I can't help but hug you, and never let go!" "

Xie Ruiji's heart felt like a black fire suddenly exploded, and his ears buzzed. How could this be what he was thinking?He couldn't care less about anything, and stretched out his arms to hug Duan Xuyan tightly. The two of them clung to each other unscrupulously, as if they had finally broken free from the oppressive cocoon.At this moment, there was no prince, no queen, and nothing that he didn't want but was forced upon him.

On the martial arts field, he knew that he was being plotted. He was just an idiot, not a fool.If, before performing martial arts, he could choose to give Duan Xuyan a life, Xie Ruiji would definitely be willing to trade it for the useless title of prince.Duan Xuyan gave him the most relaxed and happy time in his life, and he had no regrets in this life.

Shen Congxi only slept in the car for half an hour before he woke up. They hurried on and arrived at the imperial mausoleum in a short time.

Shen Shunhua was a little surprised when she saw Xie Ruitang first, and then saw Haitang getting out of the car, she seemed to see a savior, went over and grabbed Haitang's arm, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and begged: "Miss Haitang, help me Him! Without him, who can Kun'er rely on in the future?"

Haitang was so frightened that she quickly pulled Shen Shunhua up and said sincerely:

"Don't worry, sister, since I'm here, I will try my best no matter what!"
