In the past three days, Qin Yili had really seen no one else except Lin Ziye.

He would go down to court at three quarters to bring breakfast in, and he would also bring meals in early at noon. Every night he would check whether the chains had worn the skin of his ankles and apply medicine on them carefully.

Except for him, even the faint chatter of the palace people that could be heard outside was gone.

It was quiet as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

Looking at the exquisite and delicious food in front of him, Qin Yili couldn't hide the depression between his brows and pushed it away.

Lin Ziye sat opposite him, and when he saw this, he just asked softly: "Is it not to your liking? I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some cold dishes for you later, but your health is not good yet, so don't be gluttonous."

These kind words made Qin Yi leave and frown: "How long are you going to tie me up?"

"There is a snack over there in Beiyuan that you should like. I will bring it to you later for you to try."

This evasive attitude allowed Qin Yili to reveal his true emotions: "You will let people come in and see me tied to the bed?"

"No." Lin Ziye's eyes reflected his figure: "I will not let anyone see your current appearance, Your Highness."

Such Lin Ziye made Qin Yili so full of anger that he didn't know how to vent it.

After a while, he lowered his head in despair and said, "Ziye, why are you doing this? Even though I don't look abnormal now, my body is already corrupt inside. When the time comes, I will... "

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but both of them knew it.

"I will not let His Highness abandon me!" Lin Ziye still said these firm words.

It's like he has a way to keep him.

After calming down, Qin Yili noticed something strange about him, frowned and said coldly: "Lin Ziye, what do you want to do?!"

If I had heard His Highness speak to him in such a tone before, I'm afraid he would have explained everything clearly, for fear that he would be unhappy.

"I won't be back tonight, so you should go to bed early." After saying this, Lin Ziye put away all the dishes on the tea table.

"This is all my own choice, you don't have to bear it for me..."

"Then why do you want to make a choice for me?" Lin Ziye just asked lightly.

But Qin Yili choked: "I..."

"You just think that I am weak and cannot be relied on, so you want to make a decision for me that is beneficial to me." Lin Ziye looked at him condescendingly, but there was no sense of oppression: "Your Highness, you and I have completely different identities now. Since you could make a decision for me back then, If I make a decision, so can I now.”

After leaving these words, Lin Ziye did not appear again for two whole days.

Zhan Huolian, who delivered meals every day, just silently brought the things in front of him, and then quietly brought out the meals that he had not eaten at all, without saying a word.

"Where have you been, Your Majesty?" The bad feeling in his heart made Qin Yili feel uneasy and took the initiative to ask.

Zhan Huolian paused in clearing the dishes, and the eyes of the iron-blooded man who had been on the battlefield for many years turned red for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Yili struggled to get off the bed, and the chains clattered: "Isn't he your emperor in Beiyuan? Do you plan to watch him bury yourself like this?!"

He didn't know what Lin Ziye had decided to make him not show up for these two days, but the silence of Zhanhuolian aggravated Qin Yili's uneasiness.

"We have no way of interfering with His Majesty's decision." After a long silence, Zhan Huolian said in a hoarse voice.

His stay made Qin Yili feel relieved: "What on earth is he doing? I am from the South, and I have nothing to do with you Beiyuan."

Zhanhuo Lianxin knew that he should not disobey His Majesty's orders, but if he allowed things to develop, Your Majesty -

There is no doubt that he will die.

If he saves His Majesty this time, his meritorious service and his family will probably be implicated in His Majesty's wrath...

The image of His Majesty rescuing him from the military camp, who was being bullied, and letting him be his personal bodyguard could still vaguely flash before his eyes, and he also protected his family.

His life was given by His Majesty.

Now it's time to pay it back.

"The blood of your Majesty's mother's family is said to have detoxifying properties..."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yili guessed Lin Ziye's purpose, and his expression changed: "This is impossible, even Xu Weizhi cannot exchange one person's blood for another."

"The Beiyuan Royal Family had such a precedent. The emperor who established the Beiyuan Royal Family exchanged his blood for another person, and this secret method has been passed down."

The time, place and people are favorable, and everything is complete.

Lin Ziye planned to sacrifice himself in exchange for his survival!

How could Qin Yili accept such a result!

The chains squeaked loudly, and the down fell off due to his struggle. Scars were drawn on the fair and tender skin, which were soon worn out, and bright red blood seeped out drop by drop.

Qin Yili said anxiously to Zhanhuo Lian: "What step is it now?"

Please do not……

What should he do if Lin Ziye dies?

He planned all of this just to make him the most noble person in the world. He didn't want him to be bullied and looked down upon by anyone anymore. He wanted him to rub shoulders with the powerful. How could he die for him in this life?

Zhan Huolian was frightened by his frantic struggle regardless of his feet, and hurriedly stammered: "Just... not long after we started, Xu Weizhi said that blood transfusion requires a lot of medicine..."

Qin Yili stopped moving, and the madness between his brows became much more stable.

"..."

Such unusual silence made Zhan Huolian very uncomfortable.

Soon, Qin Yili spoke.

"Do you want him alive?"

There is no doubt about this, Zhan Huolian nodded simply.

"Okay, I need you to do something for me."

"..."

"If this is done well, Lin Ziye will not only be the king of Beiyuan, he will also be able to control the southern territory and become the emperor who unifies the world!"

Zhan Huolian was still a little hesitant: "But..."

With His Majesty's current attitude of exchanging lives for lives, if Qin Yili really dies, can he... live alone?

Knowing what he was worried about, Qin Yili smiled lightly and said: "I won't let this happen. He will live and live to be a hundred years old."

It was obviously just an elegant smile, but Zhan Huo Lian actually saw a thrilling beauty in that face.

"……it is good."

Seeing his agreement, Qin Yili's tense body relaxed a little: "Is the key on your body?"

With Ziye's character, he would not put the key in his own body when he made this desperate decision, but would instead hand it over to someone he trusted.

"Ah."

"Give me."

Having already agreed to cooperate, Zhan Huolian did not hesitate and threw the key to him.

Opening the keyhole, Qin Yili threw away the lock ring stained with his blood regardless.

I haven't gotten out of bed for a few days, and my body is swaying a little unsteadily when my feet touch the ground.

Zhan Huolian took the initiative to step forward to help him.

Then--

Severe pain shot through his abdomen.

He suddenly raised his head and saw Qin Yili's smooth lower jaw.

His cold and apologetic words were heard in my ears: "We can't let Ziye notice your cooperation with me yet, so you must be seriously injured."

Before he fell into coma, Zhan Huo Lian had only one thought.

Who said that the Southern Emperor was extremely weak? !

The force of this attack was even more ruthless than his!
