Shadow guard, he carried my cub

When Yiying woke up, he was alone on the bed. He remembered that he saw His Highness, but that memory was too short in his mind, like a dream, so now Yiying didn't know whether to go to His Highness or Waiting in the bedroom.

When Chi Ming came back, he saw Yiying sitting on the edge of the bed in a snow-white undershirt, with two slender legs standing beside the bed, with a dazed expression on his face, looking a little helpless and pitiful.

"Wake up, just right, what is this?"

Chi Ming walked up to Yiying and unfolded the object in his hand for others to see. It was a piece of black iron token with a word Yi engraved on it, which was the symbol of a shadow guard. They are all kept by the leader of the shadow guard. After recognizing the master, the leader of the shadow guard will hand over the token of the shadow guard to the master, and then the master will personally hand it over to the shadow guard, which means that the shadow guard has recognized the master.

Since his token is in the hands of His Highness, it means that he is already His Highness's shadow guard. Yiying's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly knelt down to salute: "This subordinate has seen the master."

"From now on, you will be the lone bodyguard."

"Yes."

The close shadow guard is the person closest to the master. To ensure the loyalty of the shadow guard, the close shadow guard must take the controlled medicine to prevent rebellion. Yiying is waiting for His Royal Highness to give the medicine.

Chi Ming helped Yiying up: "Get up."

No mention of medicine at all.

Yiying thought His Highness had forgotten, so he reminded: "Your Highness, medicine."

Chi Ming didn't react for a while, and asked suspiciously: "What medicine?"

"According to the rules, the shadow guard must take medicine, and the antidote is once a month to prevent the shadow guard from rebelling."

Chi Ming never thought of letting Yiying take the medicine at all, so that he forgot about it for a while.

"I trust you alone."

The simple three words made Yiying's blood boil again, and he grabbed his own Shadow Guard Token in his hand as if he was holding on to something extraordinary.

Chi Ming stepped forward to give Yiying a hug, and said softly, "I will set you free, trust me."

Chi Ming was still worried about Yiying's escape. He thought that Yiying didn't want to be a shadow guard, but longed for freedom outside the palace. He wanted to stay away from the palace and stay away from him. This sentence was a promise to Yiying. Yiying will not be imprisoned for too long, and one day he will let him go.

But Yiying was confused when he heard this, and didn't understand what His Highness was talking about. Yiying was immersed in joy and didn't think much about it. From now on, he will be His Highness's shadow guard.

Everything seems to have not changed, but it seems to have changed.

The master has become much colder towards him. In the past, the master would always call him Xiao Yi affectionately, but now he has become Yi. The difference between one word is clear, and even the master's self-proclaimed name in front of him has been replaced by a different honorific title. , Yiying didn't care about a title, but this obvious neglect made him feel a great gap. He felt that the relationship between him and his master was drifting away, and he felt sad and wronged.

It was only later that Yiying gradually let go of it. Everything in the past was just a cloud of the past. Since he has recognized His Highness as the master, he should strictly abide by the rules of the shadow guard.

When night fell, the palace maids carried lanterns and lit the palace lanterns, making the palace bright even in the dark.

Chi Ming put down his pen and stretched his sore neck. The pile of memorials was finally approved. His father's health was getting worse and worse, and most of the court affairs fell on Chi Ming. late at night.

After resting on the back of the chair for a while, Chi Ming got up and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest. Before he reached the door, a sword blade with a cold light came straight towards Chi Ming's door.

Chi Ming was startled and took several steps back one after another. The silver whip struck in a flash, and the masked assassin with a sword dodged in the air. Yiying appeared and fought with the assassin instantly. The two fought from the hall When they reached the outside of the hall, Chi Ming hurriedly followed.

Yiying's usual weapon is the nine-section whip. The nine-section whip doesn't need to be used in close combat, so Yiying has taken advantage of the weapon, but the opponent's assassin's martial arts is much higher than him, even so, Yiying still can't get any advantage.Chi Ming was so worried about Yiying that he didn't dare to take his eyes off the two people who were fighting, so that he didn't notice any abnormalities around him.

"careful!"

The difference in strength between the two was huge. Seeing the assassin's sword stabbing Yiying's waist, Chi Ming reminded him in alarm that Yiying naturally felt the sharp sword energy coming and quickly dodged sideways. Who knew that this sword was just a false move. The assassin saw the timing and quickly knocked out the weapon in Yiying's hand, kicking him far away.

Chi Ming was shocked, and just about to go to Yiying's side, the assassin abandoned Yiying and attacked him with a sword.Even Yiying is not the opponent, Chi Ming has no weapons and is even more clumsy.

The assassin's sword was fierce, and Chi Ming had no power to parry. He frowned and found something unusual, and the assassin's sword had already stabbed him at the moment when he was distracted. The sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh sounded, and Chi Ming opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at Yiying who was shielding him from the sword in front of him.

The assassin was also stunned at this moment, and Chi Ming had no time to think about it and slapped the assassin on the shoulder, knocking the assassin back several steps, and reached out to catch the fallen Yiying.

"Yat!"

The sword pierced Yiying's left waist and abdomen, and the blood was gurgling out. Chi Ming panicked and covered Yiying's wound with his hands.

Just at this time the guards arrived, and the assassin saw that the situation was over and ran away. Chi Ming didn't care about the escaped assassin, so he loudly ordered the guards to call the imperial physician.

Chi Ming felt that one imperial physician was not enough, so he forced the guards to call seven or eight imperial physicians to surround Yiying late at night.

After diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician, the injury on Yiying's flank looked serious, but in fact it did not hurt the vitals. As long as the bleeding was stopped in time, it would not be life-threatening.

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Chi Ming was relieved, and he had time to think about the abnormalities tonight. First, the palace was heavily guarded. How did the assassin enter the palace quietly? Second, why did they fight with the guards for a long time? Only then did he realize that when he rushed over, he knew the situation of the guards in the Eastern Palace best. The assassin's sword was stabbing at his face before he was stopped by Yiying. Arrived unnoticed.

Moreover, Chi Ming also found that the assassin seemed to be very familiar with Yiying's martial arts moves, and every move of Yiying was predicted and resolved by him in advance, and the moves were suppressed everywhere so that Yiying was easily defeated.

Chi Ming suddenly figured out the joints, and immediately his heart was filled with anger. After the arrangement was made, Yiying didn't want to wait for a moment and ran to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

The emperor seemed to know that Chi Ming would come, so he did not rest, but waited for Chi Ming in the study.

Chi Ming was still angry all the way, and when he came to the study, he first glanced at the shadow guard leader behind his father: "The assassin was found by my father!"

Not a doubt, but a certainty.

If the assassin was disguised as the leader of the shadow guards, it would make sense why the assassin was able to enter the East Palace quietly, and why he was so familiar with Yiying's martial arts.

The emperor never thought that this matter could be hidden from Chi Ming, but he admitted generously: "So what, if you refuse to give Yiying medicine, I have to make sure that Yiying is absolutely loyal to you."

Chi Ming's eyes were about to burst, he never expected that his father would ask someone to pretend to be an assassin to test Yiying's loyalty, and Yiying was injured again because of him.

"Since my father has given Yiying to my son, Yiying is my son's man. I hope my father will not interfere in the future."

The emperor sneered when he heard the words: "Did you forget that the emperor of the Yu Kingdom is still me? As long as I am still in power, everyone in the world will be under my control, including you, the prince. Now the prince wants to be a shadow guard." Can you turn against me?"

Chi Ming's hands in the sleeves were tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and his face was full of anger. Although he felt resentment in his heart, he also knew that everything his father did was for him, and he couldn't do anything rebellious to his father. , but Yiying was hurt again and again because of him, the frightening thing was that he didn't know what his father would do to Yiying next.

Even though he knew that his father would not take Yiying's life, Chi Ming's heart hurt like a knife when he saw Yiying being injured again and again, which was more unbearable than his own injury. Such a situation made Chi Ming afraid and blame yourself.

For the sake of Yiying and himself, Chi Ming had no choice but to take a step back and compromise. Regardless of the fact that the shadow guard leader was still present, he bent his knees and knelt down towards the emperor.

"My son begged my father to let Yiying go."

The leader of the shadow guards was stunned, even the emperor was stunned. He, the father, knows best how much the crown prince wants to be strong. No matter what, when did the crown prince give in to him?But now for the sake of a shadow guard prince, he would not hesitate to kneel down and beg him.

"Are you worth it for a shadow guard?"

"Is it worthwhile for the father to give up the harem for the sake of the mother, and to be criticized by the ministers?"

The emperor frowned, as if he understood what the prince meant.

"Are you determined to protect Yiying?"

"Yes!"

"What if I insist on marrying a princess?"

"My son will only marry the one he loves in his life, and he would rather die than surrender!"

The emperor thought for a moment and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will never embarrass Yiying again in the future."

Chi Ming saw that his father did not speak, and the emperor said again: "What? You still don't believe me? No joke."

"My son thanked my father."

Only then did Chi Ming get up, turn around and leave without staying for a moment.

The emperor looked at Chi Ming's leaving back and sighed: "I'm actually an infatuated species like me."

Then the emperor laughed at himself and said, "No, I am not as good as him."

The leader of the shadow guard said worriedly: "The prince is young and vigorous, the master should not be angry with the prince."

The emperor shook his head, and buried thousands of words in his heart: "Tomorrow morning, I will call the holy doctor, I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

The next morning, the sage doctor came to the emperor's study. Except for the head of the shadow guards, the rest of the palace staff, including the shadow guards who were guarding in the dark, were ordered not to approach the study.

No one knew what the emperor, the divine doctor and the leader of the shadow guards talked about in the study that day. The palace people only knew that the divine doctor came out of the emperor's study at dinner time, and soon after that the emperor sent a team The men and horses went to the distant desert, and the team did not return until a year later.

What Chi Ming didn't know was that his father had sworn to him that there was no joke, but once again tricked Yiying into the Yingwei Camp and made him serve the reborn Kale Immortal. Even Yiying didn't know He himself was deceived, the medicine was not the emperor's final test for him, but the medicine that would allow him to conceive heirs as a man.

The emperor knew that the prince was in love with Yiying, and it was impossible for him to marry another concubine in this life. However, he was running out of time and could not force the prince to do something. For the sake of successors in the country of Yu, the emperor had no choice but to do this!
