The night was slightly dark.

On summer nights, the breeze is blowing, blowing away the heat of the day.The main hall of the imperial palace is lively and peaceful, brightly lit, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard.

At this time, Gu Miao, who was dressed in black, walked towards the main hall of the palace. He came slowly, and there seemed to be a quiet and cool magic around him, which made the singing and dancing not far away become noisy.

"Your Highness, be careful." The eunuch next to him reminded Gu Miao in a low voice.

Gu Miao didn't speak, and looked up at the main hall not far away.

His face was slightly pale, and he seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, only his lips were a little red.Because he was wearing black clothes, he looked even thinner, especially the waist tied with a belt, as if he could hold it with one hand.

But his eyes are very energetic, clear and cold, like a cold spring rippling.

Gu Miao actually did not expect that he could be reborn, and could return to this palace again.

Before his rebirth, he was the most dazzling prince in Nanliang. He was loved by thousands of people, and he had a father and queen who loved him.He is the only child in the Nanliang royal family, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

But then...his brother came back suddenly.

His younger brother Gu Xiao accidentally got lost during the royal family's southern tour. At that time, Gu Xiao was only three years old. After he got lost, the army blocked/sealed the whole city. After searching for more than a month, he couldn't find him. In the end, he could only let it go.

However, when Gu Miao was 17 years old, his lost brother came back, and his nightmare followed.

First of all, his parents and elder brothers dote on his younger brother, which Gu Miao understands. After all, he loves his younger brother very much, even if he favors him a little bit, he doesn't mind.

It's just that when his younger brother came back, it was at the Changye Mountain sacrifice, and the national teacher said that the evil dragon needed a royal blood as a sacrifice.

Gu Miao never thought that his parents would agree to sacrifice him to the evil dragon because of a word from the national teacher.He never thought that the country needed a new crown prince, so Gu Xiao was made the new crown prince.

Even the person he likes also likes Gu Xiao.

His subjects embraced the new prince, but forgot who sacrificed everything just to keep them in good order and keep the royal family prosperous.

No one thought about what he was going to face, no one thought about how he should survive facing the evil dragon in Changye Mountain.He suffered from insomnia all night, restless, and his body became weaker and weaker.

It wasn't until the end that Gu Xiao made it clear that everything was planned by him, just to become the only prince of Nanliang and finally control the entire country.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Let's go first." Gu Miao opened her eyes and said softly.

There is still a good show to watch today, how could he be late.

Tonight is the celebration banquet for General Lin's victory over Northern Qi—it is also the day when he is publicly declared to be a sacrifice to the evil dragon.

What should come will still come.

Soon Gu Miao entered the main hall. The lights in the main hall were brightly lit, and the eunuch at the door announced his arrival in a shrill voice. The ministers who were lucky enough to attend the banquet stood up and saluted one after another.

His father and mother sat at the highest position, and his mother stood up and took his hand when he saw him.

"Does Miao'er feel better?" Gu Miao's mother, Queen Zhao, asked softly, her eyes were full of worry.

The son in front of him became thinner again, his face was pale, and his body had also lost a lot of weight, revealing a fair and slender neck. Only the corners of his eyes and lips were slightly red, and there was a mole of tears at the corners of his eyes, which seemed to be falling but not falling. An unearthly smell.

It seemed that if he let go, the son in front of him would fly away.

Gu Miao was reborn more than a month ago. When she was reborn, she suffered a serious illness. She almost went to see Hades directly. Naturally, her complexion is not very good now.But he is aware of his own body, so there is nothing serious about it.

"Thank you for your mother's concern, my son has recovered a lot." Gu Miao responded with her head bowed.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, and you can't escape the fate of being sacrificed.And since he was determined to sacrifice, there was no need to be so pretentious.

There was both worry and deep guilt in the eyes of the emperor and empress.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Miao slowly sat down in her seat, waiting for the banquet to start.He was concentrating, but he didn't know that he had become the focus in the eyes of others.

Others didn't know about the offering, and they still respected His Royal Highness, but found that the Prince had lost weight recently.

And it doesn't seem to be the same as before.

The previous prince was gentle and courteous, like a piece of unpretentious jade.Beauty is beauty, but it lacks character.Now it is like a piece of blood-stained cold jade, clear and cold, with red lips like blood, no one can get close.

Gu Miao felt a little thirsty along the way, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the whole hall fell silent immediately, and the breathing of the people around him stopped, and they only wanted to be a drop of water between his lips.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the entrance of the main hall, and the sound of horseshoes came from a distance.The sound of the man's rapid breathing and the sound of armor clashing were blown into the palace gate along with the evening wind.

Suddenly, there was a figure at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this person, only Gu Miao lowered his head and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

The person who came was naturally Lin Yaxiang, his sweetheart before rebirth.

Lin Yaxiang came from the Lin family, a family of military generals. When she was young, she loved reading and studying the art of war.He was young and promising, and became the Great General of Zhenbei at a young age. He is the best young general in Nanliang, and also Gu Miao's beloved.

It's a pity that falling flowers have feelings, but flowing water has no intentions.

The last thing Lin Yaxiang liked was Gu Xiao, not Gu Miao.

The celebration banquet tonight was also due to Lin Yaxiang's complete victory, annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops in the northern border.

Gu Miao felt that someone was watching her, and when she raised her head, she met Lin Yaxiang's eyes.

Lin Yaxiang is only 19 years old now, she was born with a fair complexion, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, flying obliquely into her temples, standing like a green pine, with a pair of red phoenix eyes and brows full of affection, she is the dream girl of many families in the capital.

It was also his dream man.

Gu Miao didn't want to meet Lin Yaxiang's gaze, so she covered her eyes with her fan so that she wouldn't look at him.

As if this could isolate Lin Yaxiang's gaze.

Lin Yaxiang, who was standing at the gate of the hall, was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect the prince who had always admired her to avoid his eye contact, and she couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

He was sure that Gu Miao liked him, and he could clearly see it from the little prince's eyes.However, he really doesn't like men, especially such cowardly and incompetent men. In addition, if he is really favored by the prince, he can only be a pet. Overt and implicit refusal.

He heard that the prince was ill and he never went to visit him, but now looking at him... he is really pretty.

I just didn't expect the prince to be so cold today.

Thinking of today's purpose, this loss and unhappiness was immediately broken by the excitement in his heart, and he stepped forward to salute the emperor to say hello.

Gu Miao lowered his head, now he can no longer care about Lin Yaxiang's emotions.

At this time, there was a hearty laughter belonging to a teenager from the door.The boy's voice is lively and full of vitality, very recognizable.

However, just hearing the sound, Gu Miao's heart started beating violently involuntarily.

He knew that the one who was about to come out was his younger brother Gu Xiao.Even if he is reborn once, he will be a little nervous because of it.Because from this moment on, everything he has will not be his.

But it's just a little nervous.

As thoughts flowed, the handsome and bright young man happened to be standing at the entrance of the main hall.His father, queen, mother, and the people he liked all looked at this young man expectantly. Their faces were filled with genuine love and expectation, like a dusty pearl shining again.

At this time, no one noticed Gu Miao anymore - except Gu Xiao who was standing at the focus of his eyes.

"Brother!" The young man saw Gu Miao as soon as he looked up, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards Gu Miao like a small whirlwind.

His younger brother usually wears simple and clean clothes, bright and clean eyes, lively and lively voice, and behaves harmlessly to humans and animals. Everyone thinks he is innocent and simple.

But only Gu Miao, who has experienced it once, can see through his younger brother's disguise... see through his innocent and pure appearance, what a terrible heart is hidden.

"Brother is really... so beautiful today." Gu Xiao quickly walked up to Gu Miao, with a smile in his eyes, he took Gu Miao's hand affectionately.

Gu Miao subconsciously wanted to break free, but for a while she couldn't break free from Gu Xiao's slightly hot palm.

In his memories before rebirth, Gu Xiao always pretended to be harmless, studied hard and worked hard, he was the perfect son in the hearts of his father, queen and queen, and even he always thought that Gu Xiao was an obedient and sensible brother.

But now... Gu Xiao's innocent gaze can deceive other people, but he cannot deceive the reborn him.

He will never forget what Gu Xiao said when he was dying.

"Brother is really lucky." Gu Xiao smiled brightly, and his light yellow clothes that showed the identity of the prince were shining brightly.

This face, which was somewhat similar to Gu Miao's, showed a crazy expression, but the eyes looking at Gu Miao were like looking at ants on the ground. "My brother grew up in the palace since he was a child. He has been loved by thousands of people. He is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is the pride of heaven. He can be cold to everyone, and he can not care about anyone."

"But I'm also a prince. Why? I was abused and beaten since I was a child, but my brother is well-clothed and aloof. Even the first time we meet...he doesn't want to pay attention to me."

"So... I colluded with the national teacher and asked him to say that only members of the royal family can protect this country as sacrifices. Guess what..." Gu Xiao chuckled ambiguously, "After having me, all of them They all forgot your kindness, and forgot that you are the learned and intelligent prince."

"No one remembers you, everything about you... will be replaced by me."

Gu Miao lay on the high altar, reaching out to grab something, but only saw her own blood stained on her hand.

In the end, he died on the altar of Changye Mountain because of his weakness and stagnation of energy.

Gu Miao was startled by his own memories, subconsciously withdrew his hand.Maybe it's because the memories of the previous life were too scary, he retreated quickly and actually escaped from Gu Xiao's grasp!

Gu Xiao probably didn't expect his seemingly weak elder brother to be able to escape his control, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes when he looked back.But on the surface, it doesn't show at all, but the voice is softer——

"What's wrong with brother? But you're not feeling well?"
