obey

After nightfall, Yingyan turned back to look at His Highness Shi Zi again. In the evening, His Highness Shi Zi looked like a little peacock who had lost a fight, with disheveled feathers, sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the flickering oil lamp on the desk.

Ying Yan walked over quietly, knelt at Li Yuan's feet, and wiped the dry blood spilling from the open wound on his palm with a handkerchief.

The handkerchief in his hand was suddenly held tightly by His Royal Highness, and he pulled it away. Li Yuan sniffed the woman's fragrance on the handkerchief, and forced a smile: "Yan'er, I also liked women in the past, do you remember?"

Yingyan didn't understand why he brought this up. She did remember that when His Highness was young, he liked a young man of the same age as the same age. At that time, he liked a young lady in the Miaoren Hall, and often went to listen to that girl play the piano and sing. Unfortunately, he was always Being watched, the girl was assassinated within a few days and made it look like she committed suicide.

His Royal Highness was sad for a few days, so he had no choice but to go to the Nanfeng Pavilion. This hobby is safe in the eyes of the watchers, because there will be no offspring.

In fact, Li Yuan has never liked anyone. He has a smile on his face like a spring breeze, and his gestures are full of casualness, elegant and noble, or unrestrained, but his heart is cold.

It's just that he fell into a person's evil spirit and made him fall into the abyss without hesitation and couldn't get out.He made exceptions again and again for Ying Qi, and changed again and again. His heart that had been frozen in bitter cold for 20 years was melted by that little shadow guard, and now he was stabbed again.

He saw it all.

When Li Yuan was standing outside the tent, he heard a voice of secret joy inside, so he stood outside and waited for a while, because he didn't want his rare admiration to be seen by others, and he only wanted to show Xiao Qi alone.

Who knew that Anxi walked through the window, Li Yuan couldn't hear the movement inside for a long time, opened the curtain to see if Anxi had left, but saw Yingqi pricking his arm with a silver needle, the gesture and direction of holding the needle Appears to be carving.

He remembered the needle hole on Ying Qi's arm before.

Li Yuan's thirteen masters are King Qi's ghost guards, and they are all top-notch masterpieces that can't be met. How could Li Yuan have never heard of the silver needle bone language message transmission technique? He just didn't want to believe that Ying Qi would lie It was just him, he would rather believe that those needle holes were accidentally pricked by the dragon beard needle wood as Ruying Qi said.

It's just unavoidable to pay attention to Ying Qi's arm. Although his expression was normal and he covered it up, Li Yuan still saw the needle hole on his arm that was exactly the same as before.

His absolute trust in Ying Qi completely collapsed at that moment, no matter how serious he was, he couldn't restore Li Yuan's shattered sense of shame, and his once-satisfied love, he could no longer cover himself up with understatement Sanctimonious self-esteem.

He was in so much pain that he could barely move.

Yingyan didn't know what kind of unbearable stimulation His Royal Highness had suffered. No matter how big the twists and turns he had experienced before, His Royal Highness had never lost his composure. She felt that this matter had something to do with Ying Qi.

She tentatively asked: "What happened to Shadow Seven?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked out by the teacup that broke suddenly.His Highness seldom gets angry in front of others, and his reaction is so strong that it is probably because of something wrong with Ying Qi.The calmness on Yingyan's face became astonished, and she retreated quietly, but bumped into Ying Qi who had been standing at the door for a while.

Yingqi gave her a hand.

Ying Yan hurriedly turned her head, looked up at the cold and handsome face in front of her in a daze, and asked him, "What did you do?"

Ying Qi didn't want to answer, but was pushed hard by Ying Yan on her chest. She took out a firecracker from under Mo Yunjin's dress, and skillfully pushed the bolt aside. , with hatred in her charming eyes, she asked in a trembling voice: "What did you do..."

She was still looking forward, seeking a negative answer in fear.

Ying Qi remained silent, closing his eyes.

Yingyan's slender fingers rested on the edge of the firearm and trembled, her eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor and foggy.

She raised her hand to caress Ying Qi's cheek, choked up and said, "Xiao Qi, sister is so disappointed."

Ying Yan pushed Ying Qi away, but Ying Qi grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the edge of the tent, Ying Qi lowered his eyelids and whispered, "Sister, give me a chance, don't tell them that Second Brother will kill me. "

Yingyan turned her head slightly, her crimson lips parted slightly, revealing her clenched white teeth: "It's not just the second brother, I want to kill you right now." Yingyan always abides by the etiquette of a noble lady, and now she can't care about her manners, Cursed in a low voice, "You have never been sincere to Your Highness at all, you are a fake, a traitor, a beast."

"How do you know that I'm not sincere?" Ying Qi also lost control, tightly grasping Ying Yan's wrist, and took out a piece of letter paper carefully pasted with paste from his bosom. The broken handwriting is beautiful and beautiful. The love letter written by His Highness.

Ying Yan was stunned.

Ying Qi's lips trembled slightly: "Your Highness puts all his favorites outside. He can speak, write and express to you, but I... can't say anything, and I can't exceed the rules." Ying Qi whispered Panting, relieving the panic and grief in my heart, "I just haven't told you, that doesn't mean I haven't."

Yingyan forcefully pushed the man on her body aside, and warned in a low voice: "I will monitor you, and advise you not to have any thoughts of hurting His Highness, your lightness skill may not be as fast as my firecracker." After finishing speaking, she disappeared into the dark night and snow among.

Ying Qi gritted his teeth and opened the curtain, ready to accept any punishment from His Highness, death or torture, or even more severe punishment.

But Li Yuan was not in the tent, the curtains fluttered with the wind, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated underneath, it seemed that he had already jumped out of the window and left.

Ying Qi's frightened heart raised her throat again, looking around.

He heard the news from His Royal Highness in the Dingguoxiao riding camp. They were celebrating and drinking, and a few Dingguoxiao riding guards were holding wine bowls, eating steaming hot stewed mutton, chatting and spanking.

"I just came over from His Royal Highness. Our Highness is in a good mood. We are playing bows and arrows with our little brothers in the empty field. Before I left, the Prince of Qi also came over. Mr. Yuan is very good at archery. Our Highness is right in the middle. Bullseye, His Royal Highness Li Yuan shot an arrow, splitting the bullseye arrow of our Highness, tsk tsk tsk, they are all the favored ones of heaven, it is really hard to tell who is superior."

"His Royal Highness Li Yuan is good-looking, maybe he is too happy. After drinking two extra jugs of wine, all the old women who cook here have been hooked to see the drunken beauties. Hey, I don't care how old I am, Li His Royal Highness Yuan will marry Princess Ba Xia in the future."

"Shh, I heard that His Royal Highness Li Yuan is a broken sleeve, and Princess Ba Xia is also a widow living alone in a vacant house when she marries."

"What is the broken sleeve?"

"Playing with boys, fucking / fart / ass, can't be put on the table."

Ying Qi forcibly restrained himself from rushing over to break all the legs of the soldier who chewed on his tongue, and sighed deeply, alleviating the unhappiness and distress in his heart.

His Royal Highness put down his body to be with him, he has given up too many things, his reputation, his heirs, there are people poking His Highness's spine anytime and anywhere, scolding him for his shameful habit, who would care about the reputation of an anonymous shadow guard, Those insults were ultimately carried by His Royal Highness on his behalf.

He went to the empty field to take a look from a distance, and on the archery stand, there was a beautiful woman lying on her side, with a pair of arrogant eyes drunk and blurred, her left hand was holding a dark night sand bow, and there were three feathered arrows between her right fingers. Tackling the string, he lazily aimed at three targets a hundred paces away, looked at Ying Qi in a daze, his fingers trembled, he lost his aim, two arrows hit the bull's-eye, and the other arrow went somewhere.

"What's this for fun? Drink it, Brother Yuan." Li Mo mocked with a smile on his face, raised his hand to pick up a jar of wine warming on the stove and threw it over, Li Yuan took it casually, blew it up With a hot hand, he smiled helplessly, and drank the altar with his head up.

The hot and spicy wine flowed down Li Yuan's perfectly angular jaw to his neck, slid to the edge of his collarbone, and then fell into his clothes. Li Yuan dropped the wine jar, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks and mixed into the wine , suddenly drew another arrow, and it left the string in an instant, piercing through the target that was missed before.

Li Mo scolded: "Don't afford to lose, how about tearing down my things to vent your anger?"

Li Yuan turned the horn of the bow, raised Li Mo's chin with the pitch-black bow horn, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't mess with me."

"..." The corner of Li Mo's mouth twitched, "Come on, Brother Fuyuan, go back and rest, don't kill me and affect my official career."

Ying Qi immediately landed in front of Li Mo, bowed on one knee, turned around and helped Li Yuan up, and comforted her in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's cold here."

Li Yuan was dazed and dazed, Ren Yingqi hugged and hugged herself back.

On the way, Li Yuan lifted Ying Qi's broken hair, and asked him in a whisper: "Little brother, have you seen Xiao Qi?"

Ying Qi slowed down, caressed the back of His Royal Highness, and said warmly: "I am right in front of you."

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, squinting his eyes to try to identify the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, and suddenly gritted his teeth and pushed him away, the jade belt that tied his hair was scattered on the ground in the struggle, and his long hair was blown by the wind, stained A few snowflakes.

He turned and left in a hurry, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, and didn't want to see Ying Qi's hateful and indifferent face again.

Ying Qi stood behind him and called him to stop:

"Your Highness, I am 19 years old today."

He hesitated for a while: "It's been six years. You appeared in front of me like a god six years ago, do you still remember?"

Li Yuan stopped in his tracks, his long hair was blowing in the breeze with fine snow, he tilted his head slightly, trying to recall Ying Qi's words.Six years ago...he experienced many things, and he never took anything to heart. He met many people, but he couldn't remember Ying Qi's face no matter what.

Li Yuan had never seen such a good-looking boy six years ago.

"I made up my mind to follow you at that time, and I finally got what I wanted. I came to you, and what I didn't even dare to imagine was that I got your favor and favor." Ying Qi continued, "I hope that I am like your other friends." The ghost guards are also born clean, but unfortunately I am not. You believe me, my subordinates have never done anything harmful to you and Prince Qi's mansion."

Li Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, and glanced back at him: "Didn't I believe you before? I've never trusted anyone so much."

He suddenly raised his voice and roared, "But how did you repay me?! How many times have you lied to me since entering the mansion?! Do you still have the face to stand in front of me now?! You never believed me , you look down on me, you will always treat me as a dandy who cannot be supported, I, Li Yuan, have never been insulted so much!"

That pair of peach-blossom pupils stared at Ying Qi fiercely, the sharp eyes almost cut Ying Qi's chest open, to see if his heart was made by a knife, otherwise how could it hurt him so much.

"I didn't!" Ying Qi was so anxious that he couldn't choose what to say, and once again contradicted his master. He looked at him in a daze, and once again lowered his posture due to his humble status, and whispered to himself, "Only the one who talks about it every day Is it liking? Is it liking only if everyone in the world knows it? Your Highness, you have your way of loving and I have mine. You can’t use your standard to measure your subordinates, it’s not fair.”

He knelt down in pain, covered his cheeks with his hands, his grievance came out from between his fingers, and he said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, you know how I got here all these years... I don't want to disappoint you, my subordinate." You don't understand how reluctant to give up everything I have now, I was wrong, but I have no other choice."

Ying Qi's eyes were also dim, full of desperate despair, if he could no longer gain the trust of His Royal Highness, at least tell His Highness all his heartfelt feelings that have never been revealed to others, and this life would not be in vain.

"Subordinates don't have to be a shadow guard, I can be a servant, a pet, or something even more filthy...The subordinates can bear it, as long as they can stay by your side. Do you think that a ghost guard who looks so glamorous to outsiders , is it a good job..."

"..." Li Yuan's chest was still heaving violently, his beautiful and proud eyes contained unwillingness and patience, as well as extreme loss and astonishment, those eyes made people feel distressed, he thought he knew Ying Qi well enough, But he didn't expect that there were many pains and depressions that he had never explored in these indifferent eyes.

This still made him feel cold, and he asked Ying Qi: "Xiao Qi, I have planned so much for our future, but you are planning to leave me at any time... an infatuated prodigal son wants to die because of you. Ann looks really good-looking, doesn't she?"

Ying Qi disappeared suddenly, and then appeared in front of Li Yuan immediately, raising his hand to wipe off a snowflake that had turned into water on his eyelashes, but Li Yuan grabbed his arm, and there was still a wound on his left arm from when he sent the letter just now. , was suddenly pressed to the bone and hurt badly, Ying Qi frowned, Li Yuan froze for a moment, and let go.

He pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled wryly, he was already so angry that he was so angry that he still cared whether he was in pain or not.

Ying Qi caught the moment of looseness in Li Yuan's eyes, gently held Li Yuan's clothes, and begged in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I will recruit anything, please give me one more chance."

Li Yuan no longer believed in his sincere and pitiful performance, and pulled out the dragonfly sword on Ying Qi's belt, the sword's light flashed, breaking the corner of Ying Qi's tightly held clothes.

"Don't let me see you again." Li Yuan threw down the dragonfly sword and left without looking back.

Ying Qi helplessly watched His Royal Highness leave.

For a long time, he held the last piece of clothing that His Royal Highness gave him as alms, and snuffed it up close, and there was a faint dark fragrance, his most reassuring breath.

His face was cold and he didn't know what expression to make.He has acted too much, and he has long forgotten which expression belongs to him. Maybe the only expression that belongs to him is the expressionless face.

But he won't leave, the shadow palace has a saying that the ghost guard must die before resigning.The admonitions and teachings Ying Qi received did not allow him to back down. Li Yuan was his belief. On the way of worship, even if he knelt down thousands of miles to pave the way, he would never turn back.
