Nanfei

"Humans and animals are harmless" King Nanshao watched the two brothers go out with complicated eyes, and slowly retracted his gaze until he couldn't even see their backs.

King Nanshao and Qi Zhan stared at each other for a while, Qi Zhan glanced at the stunned people below, and greeted the king of Nanshao who looked at each other with boredom.

The two people's minds were not here long ago, but the people below didn't seem to realize it. Seeing the emperor moved the chopsticks, they turned their eyes back to the center of the hall, enjoying the music and dancing, and changing glasses.

Qi Yu didn't know how he walked out, but he vaguely remembered going around the screen, and seemed to see the two green and white snakes with the royal cat on their heads, and the little boy gliding over, but the two ignored them. , leaning against the door dejectedly.

The hands holding each other are so real but like a dream, full of unreality, I don't know how long they walked, and I don't know where they went, the two seem to be walking on a long and endless road, like sleepwalking , wandering aimlessly ignorant, walking only by instinct.

The temperature of the fingertips that were clasped slowly turned from cold to hot, and sticky sweat appeared, but the two of them didn't feel it at all, they just held each other's fingers tightly, for fear of making a mistake and falling into a cold and painful dream again.

Neither of the two opened their mouths first, just holding each other's hands like this, splitting the flowers and brushing the willows stiffly, walking through the long corridor.

Qi Yu had thought countless times about the scene of the two brothers reuniting after a long absence, how to face the long-lost elder brother, and rehearsed it thousands of times in dreams, but at this moment, his mind was blank, and he thought about how to deal with the long-lost brother. All kinds of reactions were completely forgotten.

There was even a moment when he wanted to run away, not knowing how to face his brother.

Once upon a time, he complained that his elder brother abandoned him alone, leaving him alone to face the dirty and filthy palace, living a wicked life of lingering and panting.

And when did he miss his elder brother day and night, and asked himself whether he was still alive in the world, and whether the promise he gave before leaving was just to comfort himself and support his motivation to live.

I didn't dare to think deeply, and every time I thought of the night when the flames lit up half the sky, my heart that was riddled with holes seemed to be grabbed hard.

Stubbornly convinced that his brother is still alive, he searched for his trace in the East China Sea and Western Regions, the northern desert and southern borders, and did not give up any hope.

The thousands of words in my heart became very pale at this moment, and I was speechless, not knowing how to speak.

Qi Jin, the national teacher of Nanshao Kingdom, only felt his chest was blocked and panicked, and his thoughts were in a mess. He didn't dare to face his younger brother who had been left behind by him for nearly ten years. He didn't even have the courage to look up at him. He said, but he was too timid to take that step because of his hometown. He could only hide in a corner of the royal city and help him with his meager strength.

Even a simple greeting, how have you been all these years?He couldn't ask for a while.

In these years, he failed to fulfill his brother's responsibility, and failed his mother's gracious advice when she was dying. Whenever he recalled leaving his young brother alone in the cold and ruthless palace, and thought of him struggling to survive, he wished he could leave him alone. Everyone in the palace was hacked to pieces and killed cleanly, but he couldn't help but think that it would be better if he just died back then, so that he wouldn't have to suffer such heart-wrenching torture.

Qi Yu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly found that the joint between the fingers that were held together seemed to disappear suddenly. It was as cold as ice, like snow in winter. He raised his head subconsciously, only to find that the two of them had stopped unconsciously. Footsteps, the people around him stand proudly and independently in the twilight, their shoulders are constantly shaking, and the whole body is covered with great sadness, so strong that it is as cold as a substance, rising and falling around him.

Before he had time to think about it, Qi Yu grabbed Qi Jin's shoulders fiercely, shook his body, and shouted anxiously: "Brother".

The roar was not too loud, but the other party couldn't hear him. Seeing that his brother couldn't be woken up, Qi Yu became anxious, and seemed bewildered. He pressed his shoulder tightly and shook his body with all his strength, but the body of the person beside him was As if being nailed to the ground, no matter how he shook and roared, he didn't respond at all.

Qi Yu's back was in a cold sweat, he couldn't figure it out anyway, why the scene of the brothers' reunion changed like this, why the elder brother suddenly became lifeless, as if there was nothing to love, and endless sadness lingered all over his body.

Tears swirled in his eyes, and Qi Yu, who was as anxious as a headless fly, hugged his gradually cooling body tightly, crying bitterly, and kept calling for his brother.

The surroundings were quiet, only the cool evening wind was blowing in front of the two of them, and the fallen leaves were blown off the branches and swirled down.

Qi Jin, who couldn't hear anything, naturally couldn't respond to Qi Yu's cries.

The emptiness of the night is palpitating.

Qi Yu was terrified by his absent-minded eyes. He frantically rubbed his brother's cold body up and down back and forth, as if by doing so, the people around him would warm up.

Qi Yu lowered his head feebly, his heart was filled with despair and coldness, did his brother not want to see him?

Otherwise, why let him call and call, and didn't respond at all.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps not far from the two of them, which was very clear in this quiet night.

Qi Yu paused for a moment with his hand raised in mid-air. He wanted to pick up his elder brother and go back to King Nanshao to see if he could do anything. His elder brother has been safe and sound in Nanshao Kingdom for many years, so he must have a way to save him.

But when he put his hand on Qi Jin's waist, he suddenly noticed that his ear moved slightly. Although the movement was very subtle, Qi Yu, who was staring at him, keenly caught it.

Qi Yu tentatively called out: "Brother".

Qi Jin's eyes were still like a cold pool without waves, and Qi Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed deeply.

No longer entangled in those indifferent guesses, the most urgent thing is to send people to Nanshao King first.

Qi Yu put his arms around his waist, put one hand through his legs, and was about to hug his elder brother with all his strength.

However, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in my ears, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded not far away: "The queen's complexion has gotten better recently, and I heard at home earlier that the queen's phoenix body was dyed, and everyone in the house is concerned about it. You are worried, praying to the Buddha day and night for your speedy recovery, seeing your health and well-being today, a heart that is restless is finally relieved."

Under the moonlight, Empress Zhou glanced at her with a half-smile, "It's all thanks to the tonic that my sister specially sent to the palace a few days ago."

The smile on the face of the woman opposite to Empress Zhou, Mrs. Cheng Enhou Xiao's face suddenly dimmed, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your sister is very worried about your health, and Baba wants to enter the palace to take care of you for a few days." Suddenly, looking at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of him, my heart gradually became angry. One of my good daughters went to the palace, but after half a day, she came back with bruises all over her body. She didn't send anyone to explain the cause of the incident, so she could take care of Xin'er.

When Mrs. Xiao thought of her haggard daughter who was tortured by the pain in her hand, she couldn't trample on the elegant and tall woman in front of her, and trampled hard.

However, when she thought of her daughter's confession, she managed to suppress the anger in her heart, but she still couldn't help showing a trace of hatred in her eyes, and said bitterly: "She was kind-hearted and went to the palace to take care of her for two days, she never thought about it..., and she didn't know How did your sister offend His Majesty's face that day and ended up like that."

Empress Zhou didn't move her eyebrows, she glanced at her lightly, but didn't answer, Xiao's face showed an embarrassing smile, she took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Xin'er is still young and inexperienced, it is inevitable that there is something wrong with her." It's not your fault that you didn't do it right, it's just me as a mother who didn't teach well. After all, we are a family, Xin'er has undergone such drastic changes, and the city is full of storms, not to mention our Cheng Enhou's family. Wu Guang, as a sister, I'm afraid your face won't look good, after all, we are a family."

The face of Cheng Enhou's mansion is trampled face to face, and your face will be radiant when you are a queen. It's not the same as being ridiculed.

Listening to these disgusting words, Empress Zhou thought to herself that this woman's head was not so long, and what relationship did the Marquis of Cheng'en have with her.

Glancing at her, he opened his mouth: "Let Jiaxin rest at home and don't have to worry too much. Too much thinking will not benefit the body's recovery at all."

Of course Xiao could hear the indifference in the words, it's not that she didn't want to vent her evil fire in person, but because of the need for her in the next words, she had to suppress the anger in her heart, lowered her posture, and reluctantly agreed For a moment, he raised his head and glanced at Empress Zhou. Under the watery moonlight, the phoenix pattern on Empress Zhou's costume hurt Xiao's eyes. The jealousy in his chest was almost uncontrollable, and his voice was inexplicably lower: " Although you are not my own, the love between mother and daughter for so many years is not fake. Back then, your aunt told you that after the little bitch entered the palace, she asked you to find a way to let him go quietly, but you never Thinking, he is living in a splendid manner, I am not blaming you for not being thorough and not handling this matter well, after all, the palace is no different than outside, every step is difficult, even if you are a queen, you may have to worry a lot. "

Empress Zhou slightly lowered her eyelids, and put away the mocking sneer in her eyes. There is such a brazen person in the world who raises his head and frowns, no longer concealing the coercion around him. Xiao was stunned and couldn't help taking a step back. Empress Zhou sneered Said sarcastically: "Concubine Nan is Your Majesty's concubine, how can you be a woman who can insult you at will, I advise you to think twice before speaking, lest you make a mistake in front of others and bring disaster to the family."

Empress Zhou flicked her sleeves and turned to leave. Xiao subconsciously grabbed her wide sleeves, and the anger in her heart became more and more intense. That lowly girl who could only rely on her own breath dared to yell at her. Just like her ungrateful father, the anger in her heart became more and more intense, and she said without any scruples: "If you didn't have your aunt to deal with, you would have been able to enter the palace and be a queen because of your meager body. If it weren't for my Xiao family's wealth, your Zhou family would be able to have all the glory today. You don't have the ability to kill that bitch, spoil your aunt's business, let him climb out of the quagmire, and show up at the state banquet shamelessly , is not disgusting enough...".

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly got stuck in his throat, his eyes widened in disbelief, his face was bloodless, his eyes were wider than copper bells, and the horror in his eyes was clearly visible under the moonlight, as if he had seen Seeing the most ferocious Shura in hell.

On the well-maintained white and fragile neck, there is a pair of well-defined, slender and white fingers.

There was a bit of Xiao Sha's coldness in the air for no reason.

The visitor's voice was low in his throat, but in Xiao's ears it sounded like an evil ghost urging his life: "Anyone who bullies my Xiaoyu will go to hell."
