obey

Wei Cheng applied medicine to Li Yuan, boiled another bowl of detoxification soup, and asked His Royal Highness to stay in bed temporarily.

When he went out to pour out the medicine residue, Ying Qi was sitting outside, leaning against the camp tent, his slender legs casually resting on the rivets, chewing with a snow orchid flower in his mouth, and his eyes were dark.

The soldiers here would chew this kind of wild flowers to relieve their boredom, which can temporarily let the mind go blank for a moment, and Ying Qi would chew one piece when his heart was suffering so hard to breathe. Recently, he chewed more and more.

"Your Highness is asleep?" Ying Qi raised her cold and beautiful eyes.

"Well, Your Highness has been up for several nights, and his body can no longer bear it." Sitting beside Ying Qi, Wei Cheng scooped out the medicine dregs in the cup with a small spoon, "He was still calling your name in his dream. Why does His Highness rely on you so much?"

Ying Qi's eyes darkened, he spat out the snow orchid flower in his mouth, and laughed at himself: "Who knows."

He didn't want to talk about it, so he asked him: "How about the purification of snow orchid flowers...?"

Wei Cheng's shoulders trembled, and he blinked subconsciously.

He took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve, put it in Ying Qi's hand, and whispered: "This medicine can't be taken..."

Ying Qi looked at him suspiciously.

"Let me just say, why does it make people's energy soar in an instant...but it turns out that it is for life." When Wei Cheng said this, his whole body was stiff and scared, "This medicine will overdraw life and physical strength. , all moved to a very short time to run out, and the little mice I used to test the medicine all died without exception."

Ying Qi frowned. Originally, there was a way to make the ghost guard extremely powerful, but he couldn't realize it no matter what. It was a kind of disappointment after gaining hope. He didn't want His Royal Highness to be in danger again.

"Little Seven Brothers, do you know that the more ferocious they are, the faster they die, their whole body is exhausted from the inside to the outside, and in the end there is only a bone left, unless they are desperadoes who are desperate and want to die with each other. "Wei Cheng had lingering fears in his heart, and he didn't dare to recall that almost crazy way of death.

Ying Qi sighed, put the medicine bottle back into Wei Cheng's hand, and said helplessly, "Forget it."

The two of them chatted for a while, Yingyan came over to take a shift, and asked them to rest for a while and have a meal, saying that His Royal Highness had left a note for her, asking her to cook a small stove for the ghost guards secretly, and more than ten catties of fine beef were being stewed. .

Ying Qi wanted to stay with His Highness, knowing that His Highness Shizi would be unhappy if he couldn't see him by his side when he woke up.

But was pushed away by Ying Yan: "Your Highness, I will call you when you wake up."

Ying Qi left uneasy.

Yingyan walked into the tent, His Royal Highness Shizi had already woken up, holding a small box and meditating.

"See Your Highness." Ying Yan saluted and peeled a piece of fruit for Li Yuan.

Beside Li Yuan was Ying Qi's pair of ink brocade gloves, holding a small lacquered jade box, and took out a phoenix amber that was only the size of a quail egg but intricately carved, like a shadow wall pattern. The phoenix-eyed blood jade emits soft light in the jet black jade box.

This is something that the old prince personally handed over to him before he left. It is his mother's relic, and it is also a token passed down from Qi Wangfu to his daughter-in-law, handed down from generation to generation.

While peeling the fruit neatly, Yingyan glanced at His Royal Highness Shi Zi, and said with a gentle smile, "Your Highness wants to give Ying Qi a gift? Have you thought about it?"

Li Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "I asked someone to check his birthday, and it was today. This battle came so suddenly, I almost missed it."

Ying Yan cut a small piece of fruit and brought it to Li Yuan's mouth, she couldn't hide the joy in her voice: "What a precious birthday gift." She was very happy for Ying Qi.

Li Yuan proudly said: "The birthday gift he gave me back then was also extremely precious." He wanted to take out the breast-protector to show Yingyan again, but suddenly he thought it was not good to give gifts, so he asked Yingyan to bring a pen and paper.

His Royal Highness lay on the bedside, carefully wrote down a few lines of elegant running script: "Today is your birthday..." Then he folded up the little love letter and stuffed it into his cuff.

Yingyan looked at His Highness Shizi like a young boy in Huaichun who is infatuated with a beautiful woman. She probed over, but Li Yuan pushed her back with a pen to her forehead: "Shhh, don't look."

"Yes." Ying Yan smiled.

This battle was indeed tragic. Even if they won, the Howling Wolf Battalion and the Dingguo Xiaoqi Battalion both lost a lot of soldiers. Fortunately, Wei Cheng, a little guy with superb medical skills, was in charge, so that the entire army of poisoned soldiers would not be wiped out.

It was evening after dinner, Ying Qi drank alone in the dark tent, the strong wine scalded his throat and rolled all the way into his stomach, making Ying Qi forget his melancholy for a while.

There was a slight movement not far away, secretly happy to have come to Ying Qi, took a bowl of wine, and touched Ying Qi.

His lightness kung fu is really good, and he didn't realize until Ying Qifang was in front of him.

He secretly smiled and said, "Thank you brother Qi for saving my life, otherwise I would be really scared to meet that stupid big barbarian leader."

Ying Qi glanced at him coldly: "Master's order, I will obey."

Anxi squeezed over to sit with Ying Qi familiarly, calling it warm.

Yingqi recalled the scene at that time, he had never seen Anxi use his best weapon, he did not expect that he was good at close combat, and his lightness skill was good, no wonder Yingwu was afraid of him.

"You use your left hand?" Ying Qi casually picked up a topic, not so embarrassed.

Anxi squeezed her left hand, proudly said: "Yes."

This is not something to be proud of. In the Shadow Palace, if someone uses their left hand, they will be corrected by the supervisor. They are mass-producing shadow guards, and no one is allowed to hinder the order of the team. Left-handers will be punished until they are completely corrected.

Anxi hugged her knees, put her cheeks against it, breathed lightly to warm up the cold and aching joints.

"The master said that children born with left hands are very smart." Anxi looked at the lines on the palm of his left hand and murmured, "That was the only time he praised me. I have done many things with my life, and the master is just indifferent One sound."

Ying Qi couldn't help thinking of his master, who seemed to be praising himself every day, from appearance to kung fu, he didn't expect that there would be such a humble desire for something he could get easily.

An Xi said: "I was very naive when I was young, and An Nu was also left-handed, so I beat him and forced him to use his right hand." He laughed himself while talking.

"After he died, I was actually a little happy." Anxi rubbed her face and sighed, "Am I really bad?"

Ying Qi snorted boredly.

The loved one is always confident, he cannot empathize.

He suddenly asked, "Who are your parents?"

An Xi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "I am an orphan, and I am sick."

Ying Qi grabbed his wrist and said indifferently: "You lost to me at the Beijing rally, the bet is your name, what's your name?"

"Why are you so fierce..." Anxi shook off his hand, he got angry, turned around and left.

Ying Qi didn't stop him.

He stared at Anxi's back for a long time and couldn't take his eyes off. Suddenly he took out a silver needle from his hundred-bladed belt, stuck it into his forearm, and silently carved words on the bone.

Some things must be clarified.

After the engraving, a row of red needle holes remained on his arm. He was about to put on ink brocade gloves to cover them when he realized that the gloves were still with His Royal Highness. He frowned and planned to go back to get the gloves quickly, otherwise the needle holes would not be covered.

As soon as he raised his hand to lift the curtain, His Royal Highness was standing outside holding a small lacquered jade box, staring at him blankly.

Ying Qi's face was as indifferent as ever, and he raised his hand very naturally to block the needle hole on his arm, bowed and saluted, and said with concern: "Your Highness is awake? It's too cold here, you go in and sit for a while, and the subordinates go down to get something. Immediately." return."

Li Yuan looked at his hands, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Then I'll wait for you inside."

"Yes." Ying Qi got up and passed His Royal Highness.

Li Yuan held the small box of lacquered jade, his handsome and springy eyes gradually blurred, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, the drops poured a small hole in the snow, and then froze into ice.

It was getting late, and the night became bitterly colder.Li Yuan wrapped himself in clothes, wondering if the snake venom hadn't been removed, his whole body was about to freeze into ice.

He forgot to go into the tent, and stood there in a daze, holding the things he wanted to give to Ying Qi in his hands, the lacquered jade box was cracked.

What is inside?

Flying Luan handed down from generation to generation.The promise to be given to the Crown Princess, his mother's most precious relic.

The wound on the palm opened due to extreme force, glaring blood dripped down Li Yuan's fingertips into the white snow, and warm white smoke was still floating.

His heart was like being wrapped in a handful of snow, it was stiff, cold and painful, but he endured it, at least he still looked indifferent.

It was Ying Qi again. After many years, he was stabbed severely by a shadow guard named Ying Qi.

It was the worst deception he had ever suffered in his life.

Why?Why can he be so indifferent, as if nothing had happened, all his expressions seem to be sincere from the heart, since when did Ying Qi choose to betray him, why did he treat him a little bit less, since He believes that Ying Qi is his lover, and he has already put all his sincerity in Ying Qi's palm.

Why is he so ruthless, he crushed it when he said it was crushed.

Until just now, he was still racking his brains thinking about how to love Xiao Qi more and how to make him feel more secure.In other words, when he came to his side, every step he took was calculating how to get himself hooked, trying to catch him again and again, and the attacks caught him off guard, and he was willing to walk into the gentle trap he had carefully woven.

The blood of Tian Huang's nobles is flowing in his bones, why is he so cheap!

The Adam's Apple moved up and down, Li Yuan took out the love letter from his sleeve and tore it slowly.

The paper is torn into pieces and thrown into the air, mixed with the snow.

Li Yuan staggered and took two steps, his fingers trembling, the little jade box fell out of his grasp.

The moment it landed, it was caught in the hands of Ying Qi who suddenly appeared.

Ying Qi's eyes widened, and he looked at His Royal Highness who was sad and lifeless, his heart sank suddenly, his voice was trembling, and he slowly brought the small jade box in front of Li Yuan: "Your Highness...it's not what you think ...Subordinates have never done..."

Li Yuan looked at him in confusion, stared into his eyes for a long time, so that Ying Qi could hardly open his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

His Royal Highness asked softly, "Am I not good enough?"

Ying Qi knelt down in panic, bowed desperately, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Your Highness, calm down, this subordinate has never done anything to harm your interests, you trust this subordinate!"

Li Yuan didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Shadow Seven is like falling into an ice cave.

He knew that such a day would come, but he still took chances, maybe it was really because of his favor and pride.

He found a scrap of paper in his hand, on which was the corner of a word.

He seemed to have caught some life-saving straw, searching for torn pieces of paper all over the place.

It took him a whole night to pick up the shredded papers and find all the ones that the wind had blown away. Bit by bit, he put the shredded papers together with his frozen red fingers, and read the beautiful and elegant running script on them.

"Today is your birthday. I often say to write the first volume, but in fact the writing is not good, I can only write in vernacular."

"The handed down Feiluan is my mother's relic, and it is also a token of love from my father to my concubine. He asked me to give it to the daughter-in-law of Prince Qi's mansion. I have long wanted to give it to you, but I think I am not capable enough. I am not qualified to promise you something in any capacity."

"It's just that you can be less desperate and less afraid. It doesn't matter if you are weaker. I can also protect you. From now on, I will always be."

There was a layer of mist in his cold eyes, and he couldn't feel guilt, self-blame, and pain at all, as if floating in the air, and there was nothingness in his mind.

He knelt in a daze for half an hour.This dull mood completely collapsed when I saw the inscription on the back.

Signed with four characters "Husband Li Yuan".

Ying Qi hugged the lacquer jade box and curled up in the corner, closing her eyes forcefully.

Sitting alone in his tent, Li Yuan held a flickering oil lamp by his side. He took out the breastplate in his arms, and asked blankly to the blue mirror:

"What information do you want?"

"I'll give you whatever information you want."

Li Yuan flipped the table over and dropped the goggle at his feet, he hurriedly picked it up and wiped it with his sleeve.

"Do you want to be emperor?"

"I'll snatch it for you if you want."
