??The emperor lay on the bed and struggled constantly, crying out in pain, but the people guarding outside seemed to have not heard anyone, and no one dared to come in.

"Presumptuous! I... I am the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five-Year Honor! Ling Xiao has only been studying with me for a few years... He actually thought of being disrespectful! If he never returns to Ning'an City, that's all. Why did he bring you back!"

??The emperor was clutching the bright yellow brocade brocade embroidered quilt in his hand, his face was full of pain, and tears flowed down his face. How could he still have the powerful situation and arbitrariness when he ascended the throne? Today, the emperor is old and embarrassed. All he has is suspicion and viciousness in his heart.

"He should have died a long time ago! It was I who allowed him to live for so many years! I am the emperor, the son of heaven! No one is allowed to covet, let alone know about those shady pasts! Qin Zhang, you deserve to die too!" ! Why didn't you die directly on the battlefield? Why did he bring you back!"

??Suddenly, the emperor seemed to have a little more strength, and he struggled to sit up from the bed, and even his speech became much more fluent.

??Qin Zhang looked at the emperor indifferently, as if he would no longer feel any disappointment because of him. After he knew the relationship between Ling Xiao and the emperor, he had already seen how cold this person's heart was. Thin.

??He didn't dare to think about what Ling Xiao was thinking when he looked at the jade pendant during those years at the border, and what kind of mood he brought him back to Ning'an City, but he knew that before Ling Xiao died, his heart must have been died.

?? "Since your Majesty no longer remembers this thing, there is no need to keep it. Uncle probably doesn't want to see you again."

??Qin Zhang took back the purple jade pendant, clenched his hands tightly, and heard a soft sound, the jade was crushed into fine powder by him and sprinkled on the ground. Emperor Chu looked at the jade pendant on the ground. The frenzied expression of the pile of powder suddenly froze, and he was stunned in place as if his soul had been taken away by someone.

??Qin Zhang turned and left indifferently, decisively, and never turned his head to look at the man again. After he left, the people guarding outside went in one after another. They were surprised to find that the emperor sat on the bed for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears. Everything rushed towards the jade powder on the ground.

"No...don't, Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao!!"

??"His Majesty!"

??The palace people hurriedly wanted to hold the emperor, but the long-sick emperor didn't know where the strength came from, so he pushed everyone away and threw himself on the ground, trembling as he wanted to pick up the powder on the ground, but his hands trembled more and more. It's so powerful, I can't keep it at all.

?? He stared blankly at the things on the ground, and suddenly let out another cry, his face suddenly turned into ashes, and he rolled his eyes and fell over. The palace guard rushed over to pull him up, but carefully Seeing that the emperor had lost his breath.

?? After Qin Zhang left the palace, he didn't linger for a moment, and was calmly preparing to go home. Unexpectedly, before he stepped out of the gate of the palace city, a young eunuch suddenly chased him out from behind in a panic and whispered in his ear. Said a few words.

?? Qin Zhang's eyes flickered, and he turned around and glanced at the palace behind him. His eyes were complicated but calm and scary.

?? "The emperor died, so please keep quiet and tell the third prince that the whole city is under martial law, and the bells and drums will not be rung, waiting for the crown prince to succeed."

??The little eunuch was stunned when he heard what he said, his face seemed a little disbelieving, but Qin Zhang's face was serious, without the slightest hint of a joke. The little eunuch bowed deeply and said nothing. Said and ran out of the palace.

??Qin Zhang stood in the distance silently for a moment, then suddenly looked towards the dark place on the other side.

?? "I'm sorry, Eunuch Guo."

??Guo Tong walked out slowly from the corner where the sun couldn't reach, his face lost the respect and calmness he once had, instead it was more sad and complicated.

?? "Before the emperor died, he yelled that person's name three times. He must have never really let go of it in his heart."

??Qin Zhang lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.

"It doesn't matter whether he let go or not. I just can't imagine how sad and disappointed my uncle must have been when he looked back at this vast Miyagi when he was standing here."

?? Hearing his words, Guo Tong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he took a deep breath, which turned into a bitter sigh.

?? "When the emperor ascended the throne, the frontiers were restless and the officials were disobedient. It was Brother Xiao who resolutely joined the army to help him guard the border, but he never mentioned when Brother Xiao would come back. I think Brother Xiao knew it well , so he refused to go home for so many years, that's right, no one expected him to come back then, so what's the point of him coming back?"

??Qin Zhang closed his eyes and bowed deeply to Guo Tong.

?? "Thank you, Eunuch Guo, for your help this time. Without you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to move him."

?? Guo Tong shook his head slightly with a calm expression.

"General Qin may have misunderstood. The slave didn't do anything. The slave just reminded him of some old things he didn't want to think about. Those nightmares and fears were not brought to him by the slave, but hidden in his heart." , so you don't need to thank me."

?? "When he was still young, his suspicions were not as serious as they are now, and his thoughts were not so vicious. The servant watched Brother Xiao grow up, and when he finally left the East Palace, he couldn't let it go, so he sent the servant there Taking care of him, this servant is willing to do anything for Brother Xiao, just wanting him not to let Brother Xiao down, but I didn’t expect to let him down in the end.”

?? After finishing speaking, he sighed softly, his old face seemed to be a little more vicissitudes by the wind in the imperial city.

?? "It's ridiculous to say that he doubted everyone and even killed brother Xiao, but he never doubted the slave. I don't know whether he believed in the slave itself or the relationship between the two people at the beginning. .”

?? Hearing that Qin Zhang stopped talking here, his heart became more complicated. Not only that, but he felt that the blood in his whole body was cooling down a little bit.

??Has the emperor ever loved Ling Xiao?It should have been in love, otherwise why have they believed in Guo Tong for ten years, it is only because Guo Tong was sent by Ling Xiao back then.

?? But in the end?The emperor is ruthless, he buried Ling Xiao and his heart in that coffin, the world is cold, but the heart of an emperor, just like the third prince who cooperated with him, looks harmless to humans and animals, works hard without complaint, but who would have thought of the real It turned out to be him who was the first emperor to act.

??When Qin Zhang was in the army, the third prince stayed at the border because he was not loved. The friendship between the two was formed at that time, but now Qin Zhang is not sure that when the third prince ascends the throne, He will not be the second Ling Xiao.

??Maybe because he also wanted to understand this, Guo Tong looked at Qin Zhang deeply, sneered, with a complicated expression, and finally walked towards the palace slowly, with heavy steps, but his figure disappeared in a moment in sight.

??Qin Zhang returned to the Qin Mansion with slightly heavy steps. Until the moment he opened the door, his fingertips were cold and numb.

??Chu Yuexi has been anxiously waiting for Qin Zhang to come back. The food on the table has been heated twice. When he was fidgeting, he suddenly heard the sound of the door and ran out towards the outer room quickly. Then I saw Qin Zhang slowly closing the door behind him with his hands behind his back.

?? "Huai Zhang! Why did you come back? I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come back, I plan to go to the palace to find you."

??Chu Yuexi noticed that Qin Zhang's face was not very good-looking, and threw himself into his arms. He only felt that this man was cold, and in this late summer season, he seemed to have just walked out of an ice cellar.

?? "Why are you so cold?"

??Chu Yuexi felt pain in his heart, and quickly clasped the man's hands in his own to warm them. Qin Zhang stared at him blankly, feeling that the coldness in his body was slowly receding, and the person in his arms was like a He kept warming himself like a small stove, and finally returned to normal perception.

"Yuexi, I miss you so much."

??Qin Zhang hugged him in his arms, murmured to himself, took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the breath of ambergris just now, and the temperature in his chest slowly recovered.

??Chu Yuexi blushed, first clenched his fists, and then carefully hugged him around his waist.

?? "Why are you talking about this in broad daylight? Didn't you just walk away for a while..."

??Qin Zhang hummed again, his eyes gradually softened.

?? "I started to miss you as soon as I went out, and then I missed you more and more. I just missed you very, very much."

??Chu Yuexi's face turned even redder now, he was speechless, and his heart was so soft that he could only reach out and rub Qin Zhang's head lightly, before standing on tiptoe Kissed him on the cheek.

?? "It's okay, just come back, the food is still hot, let's eat together."

??Qin Zhang bent his lips and rubbed against his face twice, then reluctantly let go of his hand. The two of them sat at the table and ate slowly. Although they were silent, there was a special feeling. Calm and bliss.

??From then on, Chu Yuexi didn't ask Qin Zhang where he went or what he did, just like what he said at the beginning, as long as Qin Zhang can do well, he doesn't care about anything else.

??In the following days, although the news of the emperor's death was suppressed for the time being, some rumors still leaked out. People in Ning'an City were panicked for a while because of Emperor Chu's heart. If Qin Zhang hadn't let him The third prince transferred the army back, and I'm afraid it would be easy to cause a lot of troubles.

??But on the cusp of such a crisis, the East Palace of the Crown Prince who was supposed to inherit the throne became more and more strange and quiet. No one dares to approach.

??Qin Zhang had some guesses about this, and asked Chu Yuexi several times on the sidelines, but Chu Yuexi faltered in the past. Seeing his appearance, Qin Zhang understood the whole story in his heart. Helpless and like it.
