usurped

.

Outside the window, the moonlight was thick, the father-in-law who had just fled from Fu Ya Ge ran to the lotus pond in one breath, stopped to take a rest and catch his breath, but as soon as he stood still, a cold sound came from behind him.

"What a waste! You can't even do this little thing well, what's the use of keeping you?"

When the father-in-law heard this, he immediately turned around in fright and knelt on the ground trembling, begging for mercy, crying and shouting, "Da, hero, no, no, no, it's master, master, the slave has already done according to master's orders, master You just hold your noble hand high, and the life of a slave is so low, you really dare not dirty the sword of the uncle!"

"Did you do as you ordered?" The speaker was dressed in black, with a black veil on his face, holding a dagger, and the cold moonlight shining on his cold eyes made him even more serious.

"That's right! Didn't the lord tell the servant to hide in Mrs. Shao Fu's room beforehand, and then when he comes back, he-"

"That's right! I asked you to rape him, but you did it in the wrong way."

"Wrong way?" The father-in-law suddenly raised his face, and fear and astonishment appeared on his tear-ridden face.

"Did you tie his hands?"

"No, that's right! Because he was always moving around, I tied his hands up, sir, is this a problem?"

"Nonsense──" the man in black made a quick move, pointing the tip of his sword at the father-in-law's throat, "Didn't you tie him up like this to make it clear that he was coerced?"

"But, he has been struggling and moving around, and I, I can't help it, sir."

The man in black smiled coldly, and said sarcastically, "Even if I don't kill you tonight, do you think you can escape? Don't forget, the prince has already seen your face."

"I—"

The father-in-law only uttered one word, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The dagger quickly pierced his body, before even the blood flowed out, the father-in-law tilted his head and died.

He really deserved to be the number one killer in Xiliang country, his shots were both ruthless and fast.

Li Huan looked at the dead father-in-law coldly, without any emotion in his cold eyes, he drew out the short sword and sprinkled the corpse powder in his hand at the same time.

Along with the crackling sound, there was also a pungent rotten smell in the air.

After watching the corpse turn into a thick yellow liquid, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Inside the Huachun Pavilion, Yingluo was lying on the imperial concubine's chair, her legs were covered with a thin brocade quilt, she closed her eyes and rested her mind calmly.

Li Huan walked into the room, but he still didn't open his eyes, he just raised his voice feebly: "How is the matter going?"

"Hui Shizi, this subordinate has neglected his duties, that idiot actually tied Xue Baorong's hands with both hands, and anyone who looked at him would be surprised by that appearance."

It was clearly due to coercion, not to mention that Xiao Yan was not very human, so he would definitely think there was a fraud in it. "

Yingluo smiled softly, then opened her eyes, looked at the bead curtains hanging from the beams of the house, and opened her mouth slowly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as that Xue Baorong's body is ruined, our goal has been achieved."

"Li Huan is ignorant, I don't know what the son means by this?"

"Think about it—" Yingluo sat up suddenly, and the thin quilt on her legs slipped to the ground. He raised his finger and pointed to the teacup next to him, and said slowly, "The one that the emperor regards as a treasure Even if the emperor doesn't care about Xue Baorong being defiled by a servant who is lower than a dog, that Xue Baorong himself—" He hooked his lips disdainfully, "But he really cares."

Seeing Yingluo's gesture, Li Huan quickly poured herbal tea in front of him.

Yingluo took the teacup, looked at a piece of tea leaves floating on the water, and continued, "Actually, you don't know that Xue Baorong's surname is not Xue, but Xiao."

"Xiao?" Li Huan looked at Yingluo suspiciously, "Your Majesty said that the young prince's name is Xiao Baorong?"

Yingluo nodded meaningfully.

"Xiao Baorong, isn't this the same surname as that emperor?" Li Huan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that the relationship between them is not as simple as we imagined?"

"Naturally it's not easy──" Yingluo took a sip of tea and said, "According to calculations, they can be regarded as blood brothers! And this Xiao Baorong is the emperor of Qi who was pushed to the throne by Xiao Yan. As for him How he abdicated, and how Xiao Yan ascended the throne and changed Qi to Liang, has always been a mystery──”

"My son, there is something I don't know about, and I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Just ask!"

"Now, that Xiao Baorong already has the Gu worm we raised in his body, why didn't the prince activate it, let him be at our mercy, and then instruct him to find a man to make peace──"

"You forgot—" Yingluo interrupted him, with strong sarcasm in her eyes, "It's only been half a month since the Gu worm entered his body, and it hasn't even adapted to the environment. Even if I stimulated it, its power It's also limited, and it won't have too much impact on the Gu planters. Besides, I've been feeling a little unwell recently, let's wait a while! No, don't be too anxious, just wait and see! That Xiao Baorong will definitely make some It's an absurd thing."

Then, a series of sharp laughter came from the room, adding a bit of mystery and fear to the cold night.

As the night faded and it was just dawn, Bao Rong's eyelids twitched slightly as he was lying on the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes, and after a long time of floating sight, he saw the ever-enlarged handsome face in front of him, looking at him full of worry and anxiety.

"..." Just as he was about to utter a word, he felt that his lips suddenly touched an extremely cold object. He lowered his eyelids and found that Xiao Yan's fingers were gently pressing on his lips.

"Your throat can't speak yet, wait, I'll pour you some warm water to moisten your throat first."

Bao Rong pursed his lips, and a wave of unbearable sourness once again occupied his whole heart. He stared at Xiao Yan's back, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

(10 fresh coins) Baorong self-mutilation

In the next few days, every time Xiao Yan went to court, he hurried to Fu Yage to take care of Bao Rong.

He knew that Baorong must be ashamed to see people after he had just experienced that kind of thing, so he ordered all the attendants in the palace not to set foot in the cabinet, leaving only Zhang Gonggong who was in charge of internal affairs outside. It's good to have someone to report if something happens.

But since Baorong woke up again, his sense of self-defense has become extremely strong. He doesn't let anyone approach him or touch him, even if someone glances at him, he will tremble with fright, and his face is full of fear And uneasy, Xiao Yan is no exception.

Therefore, eating every day has become a headache.

Seeing Bao Rong lose weight day by day, Xiao Yan also had to take strong measures to force him to swallow the food, anyway, the body is important!

On this day, Xiao Yan rushed to Fu Yage in a hurry.

Walking into the inner room, as soon as the curtain was opened, the father-in-law, maids and imperial physicians were kneeling in the room.

Those people turned their heads when they heard the sound, and when they saw that it was the emperor, they all fell silent in fright and bowed their heads in silence.

"What the hell happened?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward in a few steps, and when he saw the bloody scene in front of him, his already gloomy face became even more gloomy and terrifying.

Baorong was lying in the middle of the bed, his face was pale and almost ashen, his forehead, eyes and nose were covered with cold sweat, his cheekbones were sunken, his lips were purple, and his black eyelashes trembled tremblingly as if they had been hit by frost.

His upper body was exposed in the air, Xiao Yan could clearly see the deep and long scratches on his chest, the flesh and blood turned outwards, and even now he could see the blood slowly spilling out.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here!" Xiao Yan burst into a rage instantly, roaring at those useless servants.

"Yes, yes—"

Those servants were so frightened that they ran out of the house scrambling to be the first.

"You—" Xiao Yan glared at the trembling imperial physician with stern eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Leave the medicine box and disappear immediately."

"Yes, yes──" The imperial doctor was so frightened that he almost fell down, and fled staggeringly.

Xiao Yan frowned, stooped to pick up a cloth towel soaked in warm water, and gently wiped the dirt around the wound. Although his movements were already very light, it still caused Bao Rong to tremble, and his mouth overflowed. There was a faint groan.

"Baorong?" Xiao Yan called softly, tentatively.

"──" Bao Rong's lips moved slightly, as if he was whispering something.

Xiao Yan leaned down and brought his ear to his mouth, while being careful not to let his robe rub against the wound.

"pain……"

It took a long time before he could hear the word "pain" repeated in Baorong's mouth.

After Xiao Yan heard it, he was angry, anxious and helpless, "Do you still know the pain? Knowing the pain, you still hurt yourself like this?" He sighed, then wrapped Bao Rong's chapped lips tightly with his lips, tenderly Gently licking his gums, skillfully teasing every sensitive nerve in his mouth, slowly, after his tense body relaxed, he lifted up and found a medicine box. Golden vial.

He pulled out the cork and carefully sprinkled the white powder on the wound.

"Hmm..." Bao Rong closed his eyes, and began to twist his body again and again, so the powder that had just been sprinkled was soaked in blood in an instant.

"Rong'er──" Xiao Yan's deep voice was full of urgency, "Hold on, don't move, I know it hurts, but when you wake up, I'll make you your favorite fried pork with green onion, okay? "

Bao Rong seemed to be quieter, but Xiao Yan felt as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out of his heart, the pain made him want to kill himself.

After applying the high-quality medicine and bandaging, Xiao Yan stayed by his side all the time, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
