Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

The next day.

Xu Linghe did what he promised Qin Yili.

There were no guards patrolling the huge palace, and even the maids and eunuchs were missing.

Along the way, there was no one else but the two of them.

Xu Linghe had never thought about being scornful of Qin Yili, but he took the initiative to hold his hand when he walked out of the palace.

Qin Yili could feel Xu Linghe's surprise when he held his hand.

Do you like him that much?

The child is different from that person.

After he opened his eyes and looked at the child, he had this answer in his mind.

That man had knelt before him, begging for mercy, admitting his mistake, and wanted to live, but he just wanted to kill him to calm the anger in his heart, and he was determined not to cut his own wrists to save him.

If it's a child...

Thinking of the child doing the same thing as that person, Qin Yili felt uneasy in his heart.

There was neither disgust nor surprise.

He is indeed a monster.

Even if you can feel that you treat children differently from others, you still have no feelings.

Maybe it's just what that person said.

He was just clinging to his desire for exclusivity and unwarranted pride as a monster.

Xu Linghe didn't know what the people around him were thinking, but when he was actively held by his hand, he happily stopped his fearful thinking.

Longer, longer.

It would be best if this road never ends.

No matter how much Xu Linghe hoped, they finally reached their destination.

This is the most magnificent and noble place in the palace.

Inside, the emperor, who was dying, lay on the dragon bed.

Different from his youthful appearance ten years ago, which he could still rely on to maintain his youthful appearance with pills, he now has a head full of gray hair, ugly skin with ridges, and difficulty breathing. The reason why he is alive now is because the imperial doctor used ginseng to hang him alive.

Xu Linghe led Qin Yili and walked to him.

He took out a dagger from his pocket.

Qin Yili looked at him confused.

"This is a sword soaked in the blood of the Jiangling royal family for several years. Killing him with this sword will not cause backlash."

Things back then were so far away that it took Xu Linghe three years to figure out how to lift Qin Yili's imprisonment.

Sacrifice is the chain that strengthens him.

And the royal bloodline is the lock that binds him and cannot move.

Jiangling was the net that enveloped him.

He could not disregard the lives of thousands of people in Jiangling and sacrifice them as sacrifices to free him from his shackles.

All he can do is let the blood of the Gangneung royal family be the key to unlocking his shackles.

There was no sadness on Xu Linghe's face, only gentleness: "Go."

The reason for being imprisoned is different from what others think.

What Qin Yili hates is not being trapped in one place, but this behavior of treating him as a consumable.

He looked at the dagger in his hand.

Without hesitation, he inserted it into the emperor's heart.

Blood spurted out.

The emperor just stared with his eyes wide open.

Xu Linghe took the dagger from him and wiped away the blood that was accidentally splashed on the back of Qin Yili's hand with a brocade handkerchief, with a gentle look on his face: "I will let you go free."

Just like he said.

Using this dagger to kill Emperor Jiangling, the prohibition was not touched, and the loosening of the contract also caused the surging power in Qin Yili's body to surge through his limbs.

He hadn't felt this kind of power for a long time and wanted to let it out.

but……

Qin Yili looked at the person who was wiping his palms with lowered eyes, with emotions on his face that he didn't know he had: "What do you want?"

Do you want to live forever, or have supreme rights?

Xu Linghe, who somewhat understood his thoughts, shook his head: "You have already given me what I want."

What did he give?

……

This question puzzled Qin Yili for a long time.

Until twenty years pass again.

Xu Linghe's black hair was already mixed with some white hair, and there were fine lines at the end of his eyes, but his eyes looking at Qin Yili were the same as before.

"Follow me to the second palace today."

Qin Yili, who couldn't get an answer after thinking for a long time, took the initiative and asked: "What did I give you?"

Xu Linghe, who didn't expect that he would be trapped by his own words for so long, is no longer as distressed as he was when he was young. His smile is filled with relief: "Faith."

Qin Yili didn't understand the answer.

This time, Xu Linghe handed him the dagger.

The only difference from last time was that there was an old-looking woman beside the emperor.

She stared at Xu Linghe with a face filled with resentment: "You let my son ascend the throne just to kill him?!"

Xu Linghe ignored him and apologized to Qin Yili in a low voice: "I didn't send anyone to watch her, I'm sorry."

Qin Yili didn't care about being disturbed.

As long as the child thinks he cares, he will care.

And his actions made the then Concubine Li and the current Queen Mother angrily want to go forward and catch Xu Linghe, but with Qin Yili around, he couldn't get in at all and they were blocked outside.

The elderly Concubine Li screamed and threw herself on the emperor who was so weak that he could not even open his eyes: "Xu Linghe, you promised me not to kill him, you lied to me!!"

Even though he knew he didn't care, Xu Linghe didn't want Qin Yili to mistake him for someone who broke his promise.

"I really didn't want to kill him, and I gave him enough honor."

After the death of the late emperor, he made the nine-year-old emperor ascend the throne against all objections, and Concubine Li also became the queen mother.

Concubine Li screamed miserably: "If you hadn't done it, why would my son... just..." before he reached the age of 30?

She burst into tears and hugged the emperor and cried.

Xu Linghe said calmly: "He was born prematurely and his body is weaker than ordinary people. The tonics you gave him made him weak and not replenished, which will cause his body to collapse."

Even though he had the intention of taking advantage of him, Xu Linghe had sincerely taught him to become an emperor in these years.

It's just that he was always wary of him, and he even trusted Concubine Li. When fighting him in the court, he deliberately chose women who were disadvantageous to the people, and even almost ruined his plan.

Next…

Xu Linghe asked the secret guards to appear and drag Concubine Li away.

He led Qin Yili to the little emperor and said, "Let's do it."

This time, Qin Yili did not hesitate.

There was a faint warm atmosphere flowing around the two of them. When Xu Linghe wiped Qin Yili's hands, he coughed twice in discomfort.

When the white-haired young man looked over, he took the initiative to explain: "It's nothing serious. I just caught a cold in autumn."

In fact, the little emperor used his trust to poison his wine.

What a pity...

They didn't know that after he drank his blood twice in a row, the poison had no effect on him, but it was inevitable that he would suffer some sequelae.

And this long-lasting cough is one of them.

Qin Yili raised his hand to cut his wrist, but Xu Linghe predicted his behavior in advance and stopped him.

The face that was no longer young but still handsome showed a cautious expression.

"Stop feeding me your blood."

"I am human."
