Desire for shadows

Outside the Qiankun Palace, the guards watched Duanmuju leap onto the roof of the palace, one by one, as if facing a formidable enemy, surrounding the entire periphery of the Qiankun Palace, looking worriedly towards the roof, If one is not careful, their great emperor will roll off the roof.

Just like this, it was passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, but after a while, the whole palace knew that their great, wise, cruel emperor actually went to Jiewa like a three-year-old child.The concubines in the harem also began to wonder who could make them unfeminine. His Majesty was able to go up to the roof regardless of his image, and it was still in the daytime, and it was still the roof of Qiankun Palace. The imperial envoys also began to rack their brains at home. Thinking about how to prepare for the memorial, the ministers were also thinking about the emperor's various unusual behaviors at home, and the various influences these had on themselves.

"What is Shang'er looking at?" Duanmuxi followed Shang's example and lay down on the roof with his head down.Except for the clouds, there are only birds that fly by occasionally, what is Shang looking at?

"I'm meditating!" Shang kept his eyes closed the moment he came up, basking in the sun.I don't know when Shang started to develop the habit of basking in the sun, and Shui'er also basked in the sun with Shang.

"What is Shang'er thinking about?" Duanmuxi closed his eyes because his eyes were dazzled by the sun.

"Duanmuze!" Shang closed his eyes, thinking about Duanmuze, thinking about Duanmuze's love for him, love for him, and - fear of him.

When Duanmuzhen heard Shang say the word Duanmuze without thinking, he immediately became depressed.He didn't expect that although Shang was fulfilling the agreement with him and being with him, he was thinking of another man.

"You like him very much (do you like to think about him all the time)?" Duanmu asked bitterly, the second half of the sentence was swallowed by his dry mouth, and he didn't say it.

Didn't hear Shang's answer, Duanmu thought that Shang had acquiesced, so his mouth became more bitter, and the bitterness went all the way to his heart.

Silence spread between the two of them.

"Xiao Yan, are you afraid of me?" After an unknown amount of time, Shang spoke, with a trace of sadness that he didn't know.

"No! I will never be afraid of you!" Although he didn't know the reason, Duanmu still replied firmly.

"Really?" Shang's tone was erratic, he didn't know if he was asking Duanmu, or——Shang himself.

"Yes, never!"

"Should I believe it?" Shang asked himself in his heart, would he still say that when he saw his hands were bloody?

"Shang, what's the matter with you?" Duanmu sat up abruptly, looked at Shang who was not in a good mood, and asked worriedly.

"Shang, tell me what's going on, okay?" Duanmuxi picked up Shang who was still lying down, and asked worriedly.

"Duanmuze, he's afraid of me!" Slowly, Shang said what had troubled him for so many days.

"He dares?" Duanmuxi immediately felt that it must be his bastard son who had offended Shang, which made Shang feel sad.

"You didn't ask me why?" Shang looked at Duanmu Ze, without asking the reason, he immediately decided that it was Duanmu Ze's reason, feeling warm in his heart.

"When Shang'er wants to tell me, you will tell me." This was Duanmu's temptation, he wanted to know his position in Shang's heart, and whether Shang trusted him.

"He saw me kill someone." Shang didn't explain his reason for killing.

"The ones Shang kills must be bad people." Duanmu Xi didn't think killing people was a big deal, even if Shang killed innocent people indiscriminately, it didn't matter, as long as Shang was happy.Duanmu, who had climbed up from the blood, didn't feel that killing people was such a horrible thing. He had already become numb to the blood.

"What if I killed a good person?" Shang asked back.

"It's okay." Duanmuxi didn't care at all.

Shang didn't ask any more questions, but just nestled quietly in Duanmu's arms, thinking quietly, and Duanmu was also quietly accompanying him.

"Shang'er, the wind is blowing, let's go down!" Duanmu jumped down from the roof in an instant with Shang in his arms, and entered Qiankun Palace calmly under the dumbfounded eyes of all the guards, eunuchs, and court ladies.And in an instant, the entire imperial palace knew that their Majesty had hidden a stunning young man in the Qiankun Palace, and even climbed onto the roof for this beauty.

"Where does Shang'er want to go?" Duanmu asked gently, holding Shang in his arms, he wanted Shang to feel better.

"Aren't you afraid that the entire Duanmu Dynasty will say that you have turned your back on you?" He was the one who ordered the prince to leave the palace for three years before returning to the palace, and he was also the one who hugged the fourteenth prince under the eyes of everyone. Isn't he afraid of affecting the prestige of the emperor?Or did he only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps?

"Did I say that the fourteenth prince returned to the palace?" Duanmu asked back, "You are just my new confidant. Where did the fourteenth prince come from?"

"Bosom friend? Your bosom friend is supposed to be in Qiankun Palace, sleeping in the same bed?" Shang was a little annoyed.

"How could it be? Only you, a confidant, are worthy of my talk! You were the only one who slept in that bed besides me. Shang'er can't wrong me." Duanmu looked at Shang and disappeared. Sad, ready to work harder to make Shang happy, and her tone of voice was a little—well—a little serious.

Duanmu's words resolved Shang's unhappiness this morning. Shang was happy knowing that no one had ever been lying on that bed.Shang has never met anyone who showed his love to him, and Shang is also very uneasy, and Shang also needs something that can make him feel at ease and sure.

"Shang'er, you haven't told me yet, where do you want to go?" Although he didn't know why Shang's mood suddenly improved, but looking at Shang's smile, the corners of Duanmu's mouth couldn't help but curl up.He wanted to keep looking at Shang's smile all the time, his Shang'er finally knew how to smile, and also knew how sad and sad, but he wanted his Shang'er to keep smiling, always.

"No, I just want to stay here." Shang turned his head and looked at Duanmu.

"Really?" Duanmu couldn't help pecking lightly, Shang's answer was a bit unexpected, but Shang was very happy.

"En." Shang seemed to be used to Duanmu's light pecking, without any resistance.

Very well, looking at Shang's expression, Duanmu knew that Shang had gotten used to his existence.Next, he will let Shang rely on him to trust him.He knows that Shang has a lot of secrets, and there are many things he doesn't know, but there is no rush for funds. He knows that some things cannot be rushed, and he has to go step by step to catch his prey, and Shang's heart is himself. prey.One day, I will know everything about Shang, the father-son relationship and the so-called brother relationship that he has been confused about, as well as Shang's strange pet.

"But, isn't Shang bored?" Duanmuxi was a little worried that Shang would be bored if he stayed by his side like this, and that he would tire of this agreement one day.

"No!" Shang lightly shook his head, he has his own way to pass the time, even if he is alone, he will not feel bored.At the beginning, when the four gods did not exist, I didn't know how much time I spent in the void.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Li Dewei softly reported, "All the memorials and slaves have been brought, and several adults are waiting at the gate of the palace." Li Dewei lowered his head, although everyone at the gate just now I saw the emperor hugging a person, but no one saw the real appearance of the person in his arms, and could only guess from the clothes that he might be a stunning young man. Now, Li Dewei didn't dare to look up, who knew the emperor Will His Majesty stab himself blind because he glanced at the boy?

"Xuan!" Duanmu didn't even look at Li Dewei, and Li Dewei retreated slowly, "Shang'er wait in the back hall, okay? I'll come to accompany you after I've dealt with those messy things. "The current Duanmu is a bit like a fool who misunderstood state affairs for his beauty.

"En!" Shang slid off Duanmu's legs and walked towards the apse.

Seeing Shang's figure disappear behind the door, it was only at this time that Duanmu adjusted his clothes and strode towards the front hall.

"I've seen His Majesty!" Everyone looked at Duanmu in a good mood, and immediately thought of the young man who had made them wait for a long time. Could it be that the emperor really likes the young man now?All the ministers lowered their heads and secretly slandered in their hearts, but none of them dared to speak directly to Duanmu.

"Pingshen!" Looking at such a group of ministers who disturbed the time spent alone with Shang, Duanmu felt that this group of people was useless.Really, I can't even handle some bad things well, what do I want you bastards to do in the court?Small things come to bother me at [-]:[-] o'clock, "Hurry up if you have something to say! Why are you just staring blankly?"

Looking at the impatient Duanmu, all the ministers knew in their hearts that the emperor might be reluctant to leave the young man just now. What should I do? It's alluring and detrimental to the country. However, this emperor is not a good person, interfering with this emperor Del's harem is looking for death, forget it, anyway, the emperor will never waste state affairs just because of a mere boy, at most he is a little impatient.Thinking of this, these ministers are ready to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and don't care about it.
