It turned out that Ji Benqing and the others did not block the prince at the gate of the East Palace, but they were still unwilling, so they rode on their horses and went straight to the river, trying to make a final struggle.

When they rushed to the dock, they could see the prince at the bow of the boat, but the board had been drawn, and it was impossible for them to jump on the bow.

The civil officials had no choice but to turn over and dismount one after another, kneeling by the river and crying desperately, shouting heartbreakingly: "Your Highness, don't abandon the capital!" Your Highness ......"

Seeing the officials kneeling and crying like mourners, Zhu Gaochi's eyes on the boat were blood-red, his whole body couldn't help trembling, and he hurriedly ordered: "Don't start the boat yet!" ”

The officer of the sailor looked at Wang Xian in embarrassment, but saw that Wang Xian's face was expressionless, and the officer did not dare to speak out.

"Hongu said stop the ship! Do you hear that?! Seeing that no one gave the order, the prince roared angrily, and the officer trembled, and he had to give the order according to the prince's wishes.

"Anchor!" Who knew that Wang Xian, who had been silent, suddenly burst into tears, not to mention the boat, which was loud, and the entire dock could hear it.

"You ......" The prince was angry, but the person who said this was Wang Xian, he really couldn't bear to scold, so he held back in one breath, trembling all over.

"Wang Xian! You tyrant! The civil officials on the dock couldn't control it so much, so they directly scolded him loudly and sprinkled all their anger on him: "You dare to hold the prince hostage!" Don't want to live! ”

"You are a sinner of the ages! It will be stinking for 10,000 years! In the sound of the rattling of the anchor, the scolding was higher and higher, and the waves were more and more unpleasant.

"Sail!" Wang Xian was indifferent, and two more words popped out from between his teeth.

The sails were hoisted high, and the heavy official ship slowly sailed away from the dock, gradually increasing its speed, getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the scolding became intermittent.

The desperate ministers fell to the ground and wept bitterly, and some even jumped into the river with a thud and swam desperately towards the prince's boat...... However, it was all in vain, and the prince's boat went down the river, and in a short time there was only a black spot.

On the dock, Ji Benqing, who had become a clay man, had tears and mud on his face, and hissed in despair: "The capital, I can't keep ...... city"

The ministers wept loudly again in despair, and the cries surrounded the river, and they did not go to ...... for a long time.

The cry has been lingering in the prince's ears for a long time......

Wang Xian knelt in front of the prince, bowed his head and pleaded guilty, and he couldn't stand it for a long time.

The two of them knelt down and stood like this, and for a whole hour, the prince whispered: "Get up, I don't blame you......" With the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Prince, of course, he knew that Wang Xian was taking on the infamy for himself. He would not take the sacrifice of his courtiers for granted, as his father did.

"Your Highness......" Wang Xian rubbed his stinging knee and struggled to stand up. The prince held out his hand to him, his eyes full of guilt.

Wang Xian hesitated, but still grabbed the prince's hand and stood up with the prince's help. The monarch and the minister were relatively speechless for a moment, and Wang Xian said softly: "The wind is strong on the river, Your Highness should go into the cabin to rest." ”

The prince shook his head, his eyes were full of nostalgia and said: "I want to see more of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and I can write down as much as I can......"

"There will definitely be a chance to come back." Wang Xian has forgotten his original position and no longer takes the relocation of the capital to Beijing for granted. If he had to choose, he was willing to help the prince......

The crown prince nodded, and stood in the company of Wang Xian until dark, but the prince still refused to go back, so Wang Xian had to urge again: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day, and you can't see clearly......"

Zhu Gaochi stared at the river bank without turning his eyes, there was a blurry light in the distance, and his mood became strange, and he whispered after a while: "This is Zhenjiang." ”

Wang Xian froze, he naturally couldn't forget that a year ago, in the shocking bloody battle here, 40,000 officers and soldiers loyal to the prince sacrificed their lives......

"I want to pay tribute to them." Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "It's good to be quiet." ”

Wang Xian nodded, and hurriedly personally found tribute and incense burners for Zhu Gaochi, and placed them in the direction of the riverbank.

Wang Xian served wine to the prince again, and the prince walked to the side of the boat, spilled the wine into the river, and when he turned around, Wang Xian clearly saw that his eyes were full of tears.

Wang Xian also followed the example of the prince, paid tribute to the dead soldiers, and when he got up, he listened to the prince's low and sad voice, which sounded in his ears.

"In my eyes, they are not any subordinate officers and soldiers, but living lives, I have chatted with many of them, everyone has their own family, their own life," Zhu Gaochi held on to the railing, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks: "But here, because of me, a whole 40,000 lives have disappeared, and 40,000 families have been broken......"

"This is the fate of being a soldier," Wang Xian sighed and comforted, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself too much. ”

"How can I not blame myself? If they die on the grassland and in Annam, it is a sacrifice for the country and a well-deserved death, and I will only be proud of them! Zhu Gaochi shook his head bitterly and said: "But they died between our brothers, a dirty power struggle!" And ......" Zhu Gaochi held the railing with emotion, and the thick wooden fence was actually grabbed by him!

The lights on the ship were lit, and the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were a little hideous, only to hear him continue with indignation: "And after they die, they will not be recognized by the imperial court, and the bereaved families will not be able to receive pensions!" How can you make me not blame myself?! ”

"Hey......" Wang Xian had no choice but to change his words: "As long as His Highness can practice benevolent government, it is the best reward for the victims." ”

"I think so too......" The prince nodded sadly, but the self-blame on his face became more and more intense: "But I can't do anything!" I wanted to punish the king of Han severely, but my father only let him go to Shandong! I wanted to stop my father from moving the capital, but my father didn't pay attention to it! Speaking of this, he slammed the railing with full of anger, and Wang Xian only heard a click, and he didn't know if the railing was broken.

"The dragon is lurking in the abyss, this is also no way." Wang Xian sighed lightly and said: "Your Highness, after all, you are only the crown prince, it doesn't matter if you can't do some things for a while, as long as you have this heart, you can do it sooner or later." ”

"Hey......" Zhu Gaochi looked at his hands, "I'm almost forty years old, forty is not confused, I can't deceive myself with this kind of words......"

At this point, the conversation could no longer continue, and the two were relatively speechless for a moment, and the prince finally whispered, "Go back." ”。

Sending the prince back to the cabin to rest, Wang Xian also returned to his room, and when he walked to the door, he glanced at the guards standing by the door, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said in a low voice: "You come in with me." ”

The handsome-looking brocade guard stuck out his tongue and bowed his head to follow him. Zhou Yong, who was standing on the other side, looked embarrassed, and opened his mouth to explain something to Wang Xian, but the door slammed shut. Zhou Yong's face was stunned, and he had some meaning that a catastrophe was coming......

In the cabin, Wang Xian sat on a chair with a dark face, looking at the handsome little soldier with a gloomy face, and the little soldier was straight hairy by him, so he had to raise his hand and surrender: "People are not worried about you, so they came out with them." ”

"Don't do it." Wang Xian said with a dark face: "I have a whole guard and horse guard, what's not to worry about?!" ”

"It's also ......" The little soldier's dark eyes rolled, and suddenly he said: "I can also make a bed for you, those guys are clumsy......"

"Just you?" Wang Xian sneered and said, "I'll make you a bed and fold the quilt about ......."

"That's done." The little soldier smiled happily when he heard this, his smile was as bright as a spring flower, and as soon as she took off her helmet, the green silk poured down like a waterfall, not Lingxiao and who. Lingxiao threw the helmet casually and sat on the bed with his buttocks, two straight long legs, unabashedly on Wang Xian's knees.

"Go aside!" Wang Xian moved her legs away, stood up and said viciously: "Zhou Yong is becoming more and more a bastard, and he dares to openly collude inside and out!" ”

Zhou Yong, who was listening with bated breath outside, couldn't help but shudder, and the look on his face was more ugly than crying.

"What collusion inside and out?" Lingxiao didn't do it, and with a flick of his legs, he dragged Wang Xian down on the bed, turned over and pressed him, reached out and twisted his ears, and snorted angrily: "You can be clear, who is outside?" ”

Although Wang Xian has been practicing, he still has no chance of winning compared with Lingxiao, so he simply does not struggle, and says helplessly: "This is not the point. ”

"This is!" Lingxiao forced his eyes to look at Wang Xian, the two of them face to face, they could feel each other's exhalation, Wang Xian only felt that this girl's skin was very good, so close to each other, it was as delicate as fine porcelain, and it was healthy and ruddy, and ...... The figure has developed so well unconsciously...... You don't have to look to know it.

The atmosphere in the cabin became charming, Lingxiao felt the changes in Wang Xian's body, and subconsciously reached out and touched it, Wang Xian exclaimed, she suddenly woke up, her face was flushed, and she bounced up, but her little hand forgot to let go......

"Oops!" Wang Xian screamed, hunched over in pain, like a prawn.

"You're necrotic." Lingxiao's face was like a red cloth, and he was squeezing the corners of his clothes, and a pair of big watery eyes peeked at the parts covered by Wang Xian's hands from time to time.

Wang Xian was ashamed and annoyed, so he simply turned his back and ignored this crazy little girl...... Well, I can't be considered a little girl anymore.

"It's stingy." Lingxiao pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Okay, okay, I'll tap it next time." ”

"And next time?!" Wang Xian said angrily: "As soon as the ship docks, I will let people send you back!" ”

"You dare?!"

"See if I dare!" Wang Xian snorted angrily.

The two faced each other silently for a moment, Wang Xian heard a low sob, endured and endured, or looked back, only to see Lingxiao full of tears and sadness.
