To this day, the Emperor of Beiji has grown old and is no longer as able to distinguish right from wrong as before.
A few years ago, he listened to slander and thought that the lineage of King Xiao would eventually become more powerful than his own, and would be a disaster and a threat to his throne. So he had the intention of abolishing it. However, he did not expect that before he could take action, King Xiao would die of his old illness.
This was exactly what he wanted, and he didn't have to bear the name of being unkind. The Emperor of Beiji was very satisfied with this. He no longer paid any attention to the things going on in Prince Xiao's Mansion, and had no intention of taking back Su Yu's title of Crown Prince.
But in the palace, having this title makes people more jealous, especially those women who hang around in the backyard and the illegitimate children who don’t have much experience.
One can imagine the life Su Yu led.
The Xiao Palace had long been in decline, but the population was still large. They were already short of food and clothing, and no one cared about Su Yu, the young and incapable prince of Xiao, who lost his parents.
In fact, Su Yu's life was originally quite acceptable, but later on, everyone in the palace discovered that the emperor not only did not look up to the Xiao Palace because of Su Yu, but was even somewhat disgusted with it, and everyone's attitude changed.
After all, this is an era with clear hierarchy. If the king did not silently instruct them behind the scenes, these concubines would not step directly on the prince's head.
This winter is still very difficult to endure.
It had been winter for a while and it had snowed outside. The road leading to Prince Xiao's Mansion was a bit slippery. A thin-looking boy, with his head lowered and wearing slightly ill-fitting clothes, walked out cautiously.
There are actually a few shops under the Xiao Wang Mansion. Although the business is not good, it is still enough for the family to get by if they make do. However, the billionaires in the mansion don’t think so. They are used to fine clothes and delicious food. This amount of money is not enough, let alone to share it with others.
So Su Yu didn't get much carbon for heating this winter.
It just happened to be the coldest weather, so I planned to pick up some firewood from outside. Although it is not very useful, it is better than nothing.
The boy walked with his head down, step by step, and it was impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. Generally speaking, there were people guarding the main gate who were reluctant to let him out. However, there was no one guarding the back gate, but it was closed all year round, and it took some effort to open it.
When I reached the back door, my fingertips touched the cold horizontal pillar covered with snow.
Su Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, and the face finally lifted up. He was just a little boy of ten years old, looking a little thin, but with a very delicate appearance. He pursed his lips with a stubborn look, and his black eyes were deep and gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
Although he felt a little cold, Su Yu finally gritted his teeth and moved the wooden block a little, pushed the door open a crack, and crawled out.
As soon as I went out, the cold wind was howling outside.
The wind was like a knife, blowing straight on people's faces, making them feel painful and cold.
Su Yu paused for a moment, then chose a direction and walked towards it.
Fortunately, King Xiao liked quietness due to his old illness, so the palace was built in a relatively remote place.
