Everlasting prosperity

Inside the Jiu'an Palace of Jiuzhao Kingdom——

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." The servant whispered in Zong Zhengyuan's ear.

After hearing this, Zongzheng Yuan didn't know what to think, chuckled, continued to write something on the memorial, then calmly put down the brush, blew on the memorial, slowly closed it, and put it aside.With a wave of his hands, he stood up.

"Let's go back to the palace." Zong Zhengyuan said, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Since Jiuzhao Kingdom ushered in a new emperor, Zongzheng Yuan, their court has been decorated with a color called tyranny.The prince who was originally a gentle and gentleman image in their eyes collapsed suddenly when he came to the court on the first day.

Political discord, ban.

Inappropriate words, beheaded.

The aristocratic family is too late, and the family is copied.

All those who did not conform to Zongzhengyuan's wishes were all wiped out.

This undoubtedly planted a huge explosive for himself.But he didn't take it for granted.And the only thing that made those court officials still do nothing about him was his attitude towards the people.Fortunately, the word "tyrant" is only for family officials.

There is a secret room in Zongzhengyuan's bedroom, which he discovered by accident, and it is perfect for doing things that he does not want others to know.

"You go down first." Zong Zhengyuan ordered.

"Yes." The waiter replied.

Zong Zhengyuan watched the servant leave the bedroom, and watched him close the palace door.Turn around and walk into the inner room, stop behind the screen, reach out to lift up the mural, press against the wall, and a secret door slowly appears beside the mural.

In the closed darkroom, a man whose limbs were chained by heavy chains stood slumped in the center of the darkroom, surrounded by all kinds of instruments of torture and bottles and jars.

Jiuye has been imprisoned in this place for more than a year. At the beginning, he would try his best to kill himself or escape, but usually he was either rescued or dragged back again. As time passed, he became annoyed and stopped Suicide, and no longer thinking about running away, but from the beginning of insulting, to now almost silent.

When Zongzhengyuan walked into the dark room, what he saw was such a decadent and lifeless Jiuye.For more than a year, he tried his best to find out his identity, but he only learned that he came from the Ghost Shadow Hall and the "Mei" tattoo on his body. Apart from that, he has been hesitating whether he is Emperor Yongqing. The people still come from Dawu.

"Do you know, Wu Yue has been poisoned." Zong Zhengyuan walked up to Jiu Ye, looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a good mood.

"..." Jiuye didn't reply, just lowered his head as always, looking at the ground.

"Actually, no matter whether you are sent by Wu Yue or not, I will kill Wu Yue. But as for you, I am still reluctant." Zong Zhengyuan said to himself.As he walked towards the torture table next to him, he stretched out his hands to caress them one by one, and then picked up a whip as thick as a finger. He remembered that it was the thing that was used to beat him last time.

With a whip, there will be no trace on the body, but it will hurt the inside.That's right, he remembered, after only four lashes, the man vomited blood unbearably, it took half a month for him to get better.

As a result, he didn't utter a word.

Zongzheng Yuan chuckled, put down the whip leisurely, and turned to look at Jiu Ye who lowered his head.

"I just asked you to change the master. Why do you accept death like this? Wu Yue will die immediately! You have no master, and you will die when you go back to Ghost Shadow Hall. But if you follow me, at least you don't have to die." , isn't it?" Zongzhengyuan approached Jiuye and said.

After hearing this, Jiu Ye slowly raised his head, looked at the person in front of him who made him feel extremely disgusted, and mocked with a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter where you die."

Zongzhengyuan looked at Jiuye, whose eyes were full of sarcasm, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

He reached out and grabbed Jiu Ye's hair, forcing him to approach him, and said fiercely, "Don't worry, you won't die with me here."

"Pooh"

Jiuye spat on Zongzhengyuan's face in disgust, and looked at him with contempt.

Zongzhengyuan who was spat on was surprisingly not angry, he just let go of his hair, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his face leisurely.Anyway, being spit on is not once or twice, so it's not uncommon.

I saw Zongzhengyuan stretch out his hand to lift Jiuye's clothes, exposing his entire chest, he stretched out his finger, stroked the tattoo on his left chest, and asked, "Is this word tattooed by Guiyingtang, or is it your master?" stabbed?"

Jiu Ye didn't speak, she turned her head and didn't want to look at him.

"Oh, I'm really curious, how did Wu Yue make you so obedient. Or maybe your master isn't Wu Yue?" Zong Zhengyuan looked at the tattoo under his finger and said somewhat self-consciously.

Still unable to hear Jiuye's reply, he sighed and took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms.

"You know, for you, I've searched all over the world for a Gu master, and I specially raised such a thing. It's called Dementor Gu, and it can control people's behavior. If I want you to do something, you have to do it, otherwise You have to endure the heart-biting pain, but it can't kill people, it just makes life worse than death." Zong Zhengyuan said slowly.

Even after hearing such words, Jiu Ye didn't react at all.He thought, that's fine, he just wanted a walking dead soldier, so if there is anything, just give it to him.

Looking at Jiuye who didn't respond, Zongzhengyuan reached out and squeezed his chin, and said, "If I let you assassinate your lord, or do something you don't want, you can't resist. So, you willing?"

Jiuye, who didn't respond at first, didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly there was some fear in his eyes. He glanced at the bottle in his hand, and then struggled to stay away from Zongzhengyuan.

"Are you scared? Huh? Are you scared?" Zong Zhengyuan asked excitedly as he reached out and grabbed Jiu Ye's hair as if he had discovered something strange.

Jiu Ye looked at this lunatic, his eyes slowly turned fierce, he must not be controlled, if he was asked to do something to hurt the emperor, he would definitely go crazy.

"Hahahahahaha! Are you afraid sometimes? Huh?" Zongzhengyuan suddenly let go of him, and said a little crazy.

For some unknown reason, Zongzheng Yuan felt sore in his heart.He slowly put away his smile, looked at this pitiful looking Jiu Ye, and thought about the reason for this sadness.

That's right, the dead man he wanted was feeling terrified because he was about to be controlled to do something he didn't want.What unwilling thing?Maybe he hurt his master or something.

He is loyal to others, not Zong Zhengyuan.

Thinking of this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Come on, let's see if you are really so obedient."

He opened the cork of the white porcelain bottle, took out the Gu worm, and put it on Jiu Ye's chest, watching the worm get in bit by bit, into the body.

"what--"

Jiu Ye yelled loudly, feeling the pain from the Gu worms drilling into his chest, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

Seeing this person fainted, Zong Zhengyuan laughed at himself, turned and left the dark room.

Gao'an vassal state, Taiyuan City——

"Prince, please come here, have you thought about it?" Rong Chizi asked leisurely while sitting in front of the coffee table.

Yu Linyuan looked at the young man sitting in front of him, and replied, "My father and king have only one son, even if we disagree with him, the throne will still be passed on to me after all. Why should I fight for it?"

After hearing this, Rong Chizi chuckled and reached out to make a cup of tea.

"What are you laughing at?" Yu Linyuan asked.

"Your Highness, do you know that you still have a younger brother who is still alive." Rong Chizi looked into Yu Linyuan's eyes and replied.

Hearing this, Yu Linyuan paused, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "If you're alive, why haven't you come back after all these years?"

"I don't know what your Highness asked, but what if King Gao An knew?" Rong Chizi asked back.

Yu Linyuan thought about it carefully. He really didn't know that the so-called "brother" was still alive, which meant that his father didn't know either. After all, what the mother and concubine told the father was the news of Xiao's death.Unless there is a fake.

If this younger brother is still alive, there is no guarantee that the father will not reconsider the matter of succession.Not only do we have to get rid of this person, but we also need to take over as soon as possible.

"Mr. Mu, what do you want?" Yu Linyuan looked at the young man and asked suddenly.

"I want..." Rong Chizi looked at Yu Linyuan, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, and said, "Now you can't afford it."

After hearing this, Yu Linyuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, then stood up and said, "You can live here. From now on, you will be the gentleman here, how about it?"

Rong Chizi stood up, arched his hands towards Yu Linyuan, and replied, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

Yu Linyuan, I want you to fall into the abyss.
