dim lights

After that day, Shen Tingyun was completely unresponsive to everything and became a living puppet.External disturbances seemed to have nothing to do with him.He lived a simple life, he would do whatever Qi Shiyu asked him to do, and he didn't even have redundant expressions.

Qi Shiyu is very satisfied with Shen Tingyun like this. What he needs is a puppet that can be manipulated unconditionally and has no self.

But when he saw Shen Tingyun obediently obeying the command of the meal, picking up the wooden chopsticks and holding the dishes in front of him expressionlessly, deep in his memory he remembered the little guard holding a bowl of wontons and smiling sweetly at him. .

"The wontons made by the prince are really delicious." In a strange town, the little guard swept away the wontons in the bowl, his face was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth were still shiny.

But the little guard who regarded himself as heaven was dead, and was buried in the cemetery in the northern suburbs, a tomb he had personally chosen and buried under supervision.Paper money scattered all over the sky, like a snowy night deep in memory.

Qi Shiyu went to make another bowl of wontons and placed them in front of Shen Tingyun.Taking advantage of the little emperor's serious illness, he was busy rebelling and had no time to cook for a long time.

Shen Tingyun looked at the exquisite blue and white porcelain, but just looked at it.

"Hua'er, eat it."

Shen Tingyun picked up the bowl mechanically, without even changing the rhythm of swallowing.Qi Shiyu snatched the bowl and smashed the wontons all over the floor.

"Forget it, don't eat." Qi Shiyu called someone to come in to clean it, and ordered Shen Tingyun to sit on the bed.

The prince's concubine, serving the prince is his duty.

Shen Tingyun numbly let Qi Shiyu take off his robe, watching him kiss the wound on his shoulder.

Qi Shiyu never kissed him, because he didn't want to realize that the person under him was not Yuehua.Yuehua's death made him feel guilty and sad. He promised to repay the kindness for saving his life that day, but let Yuehua die on their wedding night.

Qi Shiyu couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Yuehua, maybe it wasn't love, but he needed him, and he knew that Yuehua also needed him.He wants Yuehua to become a noble puppet to realize his ambitions, but Yuehua needs him to pull him out of the muddy swamp and lead him away from the hopeless day.They each take what they want, and they are created by nature.

Qi Shiyu vented all his dissatisfaction on the bed, seeing the painful tears from the end of Shen Tingyun's eyes, Qi Shiyu would be inexplicably excited, kissing those salty liquids, but his hands would not become lighter because of this .

After everything was over, Qi Shiyu became gentle again, hugging Shen Tingyun in his arms, whispering love words in a low voice.He called him Mengmeng, told him that he had been looking for him all these years, and told him that he was with him not just because he was the prince, but because he was shocked in the snow that year and engraved in his heart.

How much of these words are true and how much is false, Qi Shiyu himself can't tell.

But only at this time, Shen Tingyun would be a little bit like a living person, snuggling up to him, and giving some reactions occasionally.

"Mengmeng, do you still remember that at the Lanfang Banquet, the son of Dali Siqing's son regarded me as an invited young lady and was rude to me, so angry that you found a sack the next day and beat him up in the street ..."

After saying this, Qi Shiyu was stunned, and then laughed: "Of course you don't remember, you are my king's Hua'er. At that time, you haven't come yet." Then Qi Shiyu put on his coat and went to the study.

The solitary lamp was like a bean, Shen Tingyun knelt on the couch, tears fell.

In Julong Palace, Ji Minggui sat in front of the emperor's sickbed, carelessly fiddled with a spoon, while Gao Huan stood behind him, watching his every move.

"Your Majesty, King Xuan asks for an audience." Nuan Yan came in and reported.

Yu Hanyi weakly opened his eyes, and said to Nuanyan, "Let him go out, I won't see anyone."

Ji Minggui burst out laughing, but he didn't restrain himself even after being glared at by Gao Huan.

"Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid His Majesty can't help it." Ji Minggui laughed.It seems that compared with the emperor and his confidantes, this quack doctor of unknown origin has a clearer grasp of the situation in the court.

Yu Hanyi coughed up some blood, Nuanyan took it with a handkerchief, and then the little emperor returned to Jiming, "What do you mean?"

Ji Minggui raised his chin and looked at Nuan Yan: "King Xuan's heart is probably known to all passers-by. His Majesty is poisoned by Gu poison, and his life is dying, so it's okay to have no time to take care of it. It's just Eunuch Nuan Yan, who is in the front court and the back palace. How could I not know about the state affairs for His Majesty?" After speaking, he took out two silver needles from somewhere in his hand and threw them towards Nuan Yan.

Nuan Yan's expression changed suddenly, and she retreated quickly, before she could hold Yu Hanyi as a human shield, Gao Huan pinned her in the hall.

Nuan Yan has been subdued, but she never forgets to persuade Ji Minggui: "I never thought that a small quack doctor would have such vision, why don't you submit to His Highness, and you can do something in the court in the future."

Ji Minggui sneered: "Who cares?"

Yu Hanyi was shaking with anger.Nuan Yan has been with her since she was a child, when did she become King Xuan's person... Or, since she entered the palace.

Afterwards, the forbidden army came in and reported to Gao Huan that King Xuan led people to attack, the city gate had been lost, and the forbidden army could hardly stand it.

Gao Huan slashed Nuanyan with a single knife, and immediately summoned the forbidden army to guard Julong Palace.

Ji Minggui said: "My lord, stop guarding. King Xuan has led his troops into the imperial city. If we guard this ruined palace, can we wait for King Qin's reinforcements or what?" No one can go out to the imperial city until the reinforcements arrive. Zhijingzhong's sudden change rushed over, I'm afraid their graves are covered with grass.

Gao Huan ignored Ji Minggui, and knelt down towards Yu Hanyi: "I would like to stick to Julong Palace to the death. Even if I risk my life, I will protect His Majesty's safety."

"Hey, hey, you don't understand what people say." Ji Minggui stopped Gao Huan, and more and more imperial guards came to report the situation of the battle.King Xuan's sneak attack was sudden, the Mobei army turned against them, and they were besieged on all sides. The Shuozhong army, which was closest to the capital, had no time to rescue him, and the current situation was helpless.

Gao Huan said: "What other way do you have now?"

"If you don't listen, how can you say no?" Ji Minggui asked back.

Yu Hanyi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Listen to what he has to say, it's okay."

Ji Minggui pointed to Yu Hanyi, and said: "You have not cured the poison, and you have no strength to resist. Now you surrender to Qi Shiyu, this is the real end. But the pampered Forbidden Army is not the opponent of the Mobei Army at all. The ending of Julong Palace is still a dead end. Right now, the only way is to escape from the capital, cure the poison, and then gather troops from all over the world to attack Qi Shiyu, which is the most sensible way."

"Can you go out?" Yu Hanyi said.

Ji Minggui smiled and said: "Little beauty, if I have a way to get in, I will naturally have a way to get out."

"Forget it." Yu Hanyi said, "The court has long been like a pool of stagnant water, full of corruption. Taking this opportunity, let my future queen sweep away the old wind for me, and I will be happy. The poison on my body has been detoxified." , come back to pamper my queen well."
