After being forced to attack four old enemies

After listening to Shu Quli's description, Hu Xinghe stopped by massaging Shu Quli's hand.

Shu Quli's eyes were as deep as a deep pool, noticing Hu Xinghe's strangeness, the corners of his mouth widened: "Ah Hu, are you afraid of widows?"

Shu Quli held Hu Xinghe's hand, it was soft and cold and trembling slightly.His dark brows were lowered, and he took advantage of the situation to pull Hu Xinghe into his arms.

Hu Xinghe fell into Shu Quli's arms, his astonished eyes met Shu Quli's.

Shu Quli looked at Hu Xinghe with such a lofty posture, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, not letting go of any detail on Hu Xinghe's face.

He didn't know what emotion he wanted to find on Hu Xinghe's face.Shu Quli thought about it carefully, but he didn't know what reaction he wanted.He tried to test Fox Xinghe again and again, and showed Fox Xinghe the other side of himself without reservation, what was the reason for?Could it be to make Fox Xinghe afraid?

It is impossible for Hu Xinghe not to be afraid of him.

As long as he can remember, he has been used to seeing the expressions of the people around him. From the beginning of admiration for his talent, it will turn into fear later.

Although the servants around him never showed it, the fear hidden deep in their eyes could always be easily seen by him.These servants looked at him like they were looking at a monster.

When did such a transformation start, Shu Qu Li thought.When he was about five or six years old, Shu Quli discovered that he could always see through other people's thoughts at a glance, and could even lure others to change their minds with just a few words.

He used words to increase the conflict between the two servants who disliked each other, and finally fought and was punished by the palace rules; he made the two who were friendly on the surface suspicious of each other, and finally became enemies and tore through the disguise.

Whenever this happens, Shu Quli will feel joy from the bottom of his heart. He likes the truth after tearing off the disguise, and the feeling of manipulating people's hearts.

Gradually, the palace people around him were full of fear of him, and even privately rumored that he was a bewitching demon boy.Even his father and queen mother noticed his strangeness.

Although he tried his best to pretend, he still couldn't pretend the innocence and simplicity of a child.His father's love and respect for him at the beginning turned into loathing and avoidance in the end.Even his mother lost the favor of the king because of him.

Since then, his mother has vented on him the anguish and resentment of living alone in the deep palace...

Shu Quli's eyes were like dark, stagnant water in a deep pool, suddenly deepening.

Xiao Shuyan's gorgeous but crazily distorted face came to his mind.

It was in the silent deep palace, the air was dull and oppressive, it was clearly late autumn, but there was not even a gust of cold wind blowing.The entire bedroom was like the mausoleum of the dead, so quiet that there was no trace of life.

Xiao Shuyan leaned on the chair, beckoning him to come over, he saw that Xiao Shuyan's fingers were like green onions, and her nails were as red as blood.Shu Quli knew that these were Xiao Shuyan's nails specially dyed with the juice of the impatiens.

Crush the bright impatiens, add alum to fix the color, carefully and evenly wrap it on each nail, and wrap it carefully for two hours to get such nails.

After falling out of favor, Xiao Shuyan put more thoughts on maintenance and grooming, hoping to restore the king's changed heart.

However, at this time, the former king had long been fascinated by another woman, and even had the idea of ​​passing the position of prince to that woman's heir.Xiao Shuyan was mad with jealousy, but there was nothing she could do.

Six-year-old Shu Quli raised his head and put down the bamboo slips.

He fixedly looked at Xiao Shuyan's face, his eyes had a calmness that did not belong to a child, and after a while he silently walked to Xiao Shuyan's side.

Xiao Shuyan looked at him with complicated emotions in her phoenix eyes, including guilt, disgust, and more resentment.She turned her head, and when she turned her head, she had a smiling face, and she said to him: "Li'er, drink this bowl of lotus seed soup."

Shu Quli held his hands behind his back, his fingers were twisted into a ball behind his back, his lips were tightly pressed, and he didn't drink the bowl of lotus seed soup.

Xiao Shuyan smiled forcedly: "Why doesn't Li'er drink it, the empress mother specially sent someone to boil it for you."

Shu Quli remained silent, looking at Xiao Shuyan.

Xiao Shuyan's smile froze on her face, her expression gradually became distorted and collapsed, her fingers grabbed Shu Quli's arm suddenly, her nails almost dug into the flesh of Shu Quli's arm.

She sternly said, "Drink! Why don't you drink! Is that how you treat your mother! Drink! Drink!"

Xiao Shuyan picked up the bowl of lotus seed soup, and stuffed the rim of the bowl into Shu Quli's confinement mouth.However, no matter how hard Xiao Shuyan tried, Shu Quli's mouth remained tightly shut.In the end, the lotus seed soup sprinkled Shu Quli all over his face and body.

Xiao Shuyan stared blankly at the lotus seed soup on the ground, a line of tears fell from her eyes.

Shu Quli wiped off the lotus seed soup on his face little by little with his sleeve, his expression remained calm from beginning to end.He said to Xiao Shuyan: "Mother, this bowl of lotus seed soup is poisonous, right?"

Xiao Shuyan was stunned.

Shu Quli continued: "The queen mother wants to kill her son."

Xiao Shuyan's body trembled, and she burst into tears: "No, no!"

The cold light in Shu Quli's eyes is faint, like a deep pool, with a strange color, he said in a bewitching voice: "Queen Mother, think about it, who is the person who really makes you suffer..."

……

Shu Quli was in a daze because of the memory that suddenly emerged.

The blue veins on his forehead throbbed, which was a precursor to a headache.Too many memories flooded into his mind, giving him a faint sign of a headache.

Hu Xinghe, who had been paying attention to Emperor Yan, discovered this.He wanted to get up, but was clamped by Shu Quli's hands, which wrapped around his shoulders, and he couldn't move at all.

Emperor Yan's dark pupils stared at him without a trace of emotion, and then Hu Xinghe remembered that he still owed Emperor Yan an answer.

Emperor Yan asked him: "Ahu, are you afraid of widows?"

This was already the third time Emperor Yan asked him this question.Hu Xinghe, who realized this, was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Emperor Yan was obsessed with this question.

At this moment, Hu Xinghe seemed to see a stubborn and eccentric child in Emperor Yan's body. He stretched out his fingers and grabbed the corner of Hu Xinghe's clothes, staring at him with a pair of cat-like black eyes. , silently said: "Are you also afraid of me?"

Hu Xinghe thought, maybe he understood a little bit why Emperor Yan was obsessed with this problem.

Shu Quli's headache was severe, as if a blunt knife had been stabbed straight into his brain, stirring in his brain, making every tendon in him feel like it was about to explode.

His sanity was almost a little unconscious, and he seemed to see the faces of the people he killed again in a trance, including those ministers and those four court ladies.

They were covered in blood, walking towards him from all directions, silently chanting two words, Shu Quli knew what those two words were, and they were chanting: "Your Majesty..."

In the illusion, only the person in the arms becomes the only reality.He pinched Hu Xinghe's shoulder, like a drowning man grasping the only driftwood in his hand.At this moment, Shu Quli sensed the movement of the person in his arms, and he clamped Hu Xinghe even harder, not allowing the driftwood to float away.

He heard Hu Xinghe say to him: "I am here, Your Majesty, Ah Hu will not leave!"

I'm here, don't go... These two words appeared in my mind for the first time, and became very clear after the initial shock, echoing in Shu Quli's mind.

Hu Xinghe's face appeared in his line of sight, that hand-sized delicate face showed a slightly painful expression because of his actions.He saw Hu Xinghe struggling to free a hand from his restraint.

This cold hand lightly touched his forehead, gently wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead.

A strange warmth emanated from Hu Xinghe's palm, like a ray of light in the chaos, driving away all the darkness.The illusion around him disappeared, and his pain was dispelled by this warmth at this moment.

An unprecedented sense of comfort enveloped the stretched body.

He is like a fish that has finally returned to the water after being exposed to the sun on the shore.Shu Quli's frowning brows stretched out, and he couldn't bear to leave Hu Xinghe's cold little hand.

When Hu Xinghe was about to withdraw his hand, Shu Quli pressed the hand holding Hu Xinghe back to his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Touch again."

Hu Xinghe looked at Emperor Yan who had transformed into a child for a while, and he couldn't laugh or cry.He said like coaxing a child: "Okay, touch again."

Shu Quli hugged Hu Xinghe.This time, his body didn't respond to any disgusting stimulation, but instead felt a sense of fullness that he had never felt before.

Shu Quli half-closed his eyes, and suddenly an incredible idea popped up in his heart, he indulged himself in this idea, and played with a strand of cool black hair of Hu Xinghe with his fingers, pretending to be calm and said: "Tonight you will Stay in the widow's bedroom."

Fox Xinghe: "???"

Shu Quli's eyes were slightly cold: "Don't want to?"

Hu Xinghe endured the humiliation and said with tears in his eyes, "Ah Hu is so excited..."

Thinking of sleeping with someone for the first time, even Shu Quli's heart couldn't help beating a little bit.Some charming thoughts welled up in my heart, and Shu Quli's Adam's apple moved slightly, as if the skin that touched Hu Xinghe became hot.

Shu Qu said goodbye too far, put down Hu Xinghe, He Shuang said from the corner: "Take him to change clothes and take a bath, and then bring him to... the widow's bedroom."

After a short pause, Shu Quli said this sentence.

He Shuang's smiling eyes flashed subtle surprise, he walked up to Hu Xinghe, and respectfully said: "Master Hu, please come with me."

Hu Xinghe knew he couldn't resist, so he resigned to his fate and followed He Shuang.He Shuang took him to Qingquan Pool and ordered someone to serve Hu Xinghe, but he was busy looking for someone to bring clothes to Fox Xinghe.

After all, Hu Xinghe was still embarrassed to let so many people wait for him to take a bath.Besides, the place He Shuang brought him was a big hot spring pool, and he didn't have the habit of stripping naked in front of so many people.

Only one palace man remained.Hu Xinghe took off his clothes, came to the pool barefoot, and submerged in the hot spring pool.

After taking a bath, the palace servants put the clothes on for Hu Xinghe.

He saw the clothes He Shuang sent, which were pure white clothes inside and a bright red tulle dress outside.

Probably because Emperor Yan likes red clothes, He Shuang brought such a set of clothes for Hu Xinghe.

With such a bright color, Hu Xinghe's delicate face seemed to be more attractive.
