Emperor industry. Anlan in the world
Chapter 1, I think it can be tolerated, I hope to continue to support in the future, bow~~
The dagger in his hand ran wildly.
Seeing this, Su Moyun's face changed suddenly, and he followed behind him worriedly.The guards who were patrolling along the way all stared at them dumbfounded, not knowing what happened.
Ye Chenxi rushed into her room, swiped her palm, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered.Ye Chenxi still couldn't understand his hatred, but he couldn't vent it. Turning his eyes, he saw the long sword hanging on the wall, and was about to draw it out and dance wildly, but Su Moyun rushed in and hugged him from behind.
"Your Highness, don't force yourself..." Su Moyun's voice was extremely gentle and a little sad.
Ye Chenxi withdrew her half-stretched hand and said bitterly: "He is forcing me, he would rather give way to Ye Youran than to me. He even compares himself to his cousins." Well, when King Yu rebelled and King An stood by, he did not kill King An. This king knew that he was in danger on the day of his wedding, and he regretted the marriage and came to save him, but he wanted to kill him. What did this king do to make him hate him? So far?"
Speaking of the excitement, Ye Chenxi drew his sword, as fast as lightning, and slashed at the wooden table beside him, with a bang, the wooden table broke in two.
Su Moyun listened to Ye Chenxi's accusation, his heart was pierced like a knife, and he hugged Ye Chenxi even harder, stroked his chest with his hands, and slowly comforted him: "Your Highness and he are called the two handles of civil and military affairs in our country. He has been competing with him for the throne, so how could he let His Highness go? His Highness has compassion for his brother and cannot bear to be hurt, so he just took advantage of His Highness's unwillingness to delay the time, and when his troops arrive, His Highness will waste all previous efforts."
Ye Chenxi gritted her teeth, gradually tightened her sword hand, and said nothing.
Su Moyun continued to caress his chest, and said softly: "If His Highness can't be cruel, why don't you let me try? This matter should not be delayed for too long."
Ye Chenxi slowly closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he replied: "Okay."
Su Moyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and put her face close to Ye Chenxi's back, her voice gradually lowered, with temptation: "Your Highness, hug me..."
From the day Ye Qingxiao was kidnapped, Ye Chenxi never hugged him again, and he was always feeling uneasy, as if something was slipping away at his fingertips, and he couldn't keep it even if he wanted to.He was too afraid of this feeling, only Ye Chenxi's hug could relieve him.
Ye Chenxi turned around when she heard the words, dropped the sword in her hand, and lowered her head to kiss Su Moyun's lips. His movements were very rude, as if to vent something, but Su Moyun didn't care, and raised her head to respond enthusiastically. The tips of people's tongues are rolling against each other in their mouths, and their hands are caressing each other's body fiercely, wishing to rub each other into their own bodies.
As their panting became heavier, Ye Chenxi pulled Su Moyun onto the couch, and lowered the curtains to cover the boundless spring scenery, only the faint moaning sound could not go away.
When Ye Qingxiao woke up, the snow had stopped outside the window, the brazier in the room had been extinguished, and it was chilly.Although the wound has been bandaged, every movement will affect the wound, and it hurts like a fire.He reluctantly lifted the brocade quilt, dressed and went to bed, just when he was fully dressed, he heard the sound of the door opening.He thought it was Ye Chenxi again, and his heart trembled for no reason.
Su Moyun walked in, slowly came to the bed, and looked at Ye Qingxiao with a half-smile: "Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?"
Seeing that it was Su Moyun who came in, Ye Qingxiao's mood was very complicated, as if he was relieved, but he was faintly lost, he asked calmly: "What do you want me to do?"
"I am here to ask Your Majesty for something." After speaking, Su Moyun put a roll of dyed yellow paper on the case, but his eyes never left Ye Qingxiao: "Your Majesty, please!"
Su Moyun had never been a minister in front of Ye Qingxiao, and because Ye Qingxiao was forced to write an abdication edict today, he had to admit his status as emperor, but he showed no respect at all.
Ye Qingxiao didn't even look at the yellow paper on the case, she said firmly: "I don't know how to write."
Su Moyun narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Your Highness has compassion for your brother, but this minister is different. If Your Majesty is no longer aware of current affairs, don't blame this minister for being cruel."
Ye Qingxiao laughed softly: "Is there any storm that I haven't seen in my life? You can use any means, but it's impossible for me to compromise."
Although Su Moyun had nothing to do with Ye Qingxiao before, she had heard quite a few stories about this brave emperor, and knew that he always had a calm attitude when facing important events. Now, seeing him being controlled by others, he did not lose his bearing, and he was not annoyed at all. Taking a step forward, he reached out and squeezed his jaw, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
The pills melt in your mouth, you can't even taste the taste.Ye Qingxiao looked at Su Moyun and said calmly, "Is this poison?"
Su Moyun let go of Ye Qingxiao, and said with a sneer: "Poison can actually make people happy, but this medicine makes life worse than death."
As soon as Su Moyun finished speaking, Ye Qingxiao felt a sharp pain like ten thousand ants piercing his heart, and it seemed that the blood in his whole body was about to flow backwards. He frowned, his whole body trembled violently, and cold sweat slowly oozes from his forehead.
Su Moyun watched coldly from the side, and explained: "This kind of medicine is called Zhuxin. It will not kill you, but it will make you feel as if your heart, lungs, bones and blood are being slowly sawed by a sword. If your majesty doesn't want to suffer, then Please write down the edict!"
Ye Qingxiao fell on the couch, his lips turned white from the pain, his hands tightly grasped the brocade quilt, his head was dizzy, he almost thought he would faint from the pain, but the sharp pain was extremely clear.Cold sweat slid down his forehead and flowed into his eyes. When he spoke, his voice trembled: "I said I would never write."
"I admire your majesty's strength of character very much, but I don't know how long your majesty can maintain it?" After speaking, Su Moyun flicked his sleeves, turned and walked out of the room.When he was about to step out of the threshold with one foot, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Ye Qingxiao: "The minister is right outside the door, if Your Majesty changes his mind, he can call the minister to come in."
When the door was slowly closed, Ye Qingxiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, rolled around in the brocade quilt, her nails dug deep into her palm, but she couldn't relieve the bone-eating pain.When another sharp pain hit, he unconsciously grabbed the brocade quilt, and with such force that it tore the brocade quilt to pieces.
I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard the door opening and footsteps.Ye Qingxiao raised her sweaty face, looked at Su Moyun with a cold smile on her lips, and forced her body to stop shaking with willpower.His personality is aloof and arrogant, even if he is controlled by others, he cannot lose his momentum.
Su Moyun stared at Ye Qingxiao for a moment before asking: "How is Your Majesty thinking?"
"No matter how many times you ask...my answer...will not change..." Ye Qingxiao squeezed her voice through her teeth with difficulty.A short sentence has exhausted his strength.
Su Moyun sneered: "It seems that I came in too early, please give Your Majesty some more time to think about it!"
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room without hesitation, without even looking back.
Ye Qingxiao's whole body was already drenched in cold sweat, and his limbs were filled with pain. The pain passed after a while, and he was almost overwhelmed.He glanced around and saw several teacups on the table. He made up his mind and slowly crawled to the edge of the couch, but it was extremely difficult to climb the distance of those few steps.
After getting off the couch, he dragged his heavy body to the desk, grabbed the teacup on the desk, and with a violent force, knocked the teacup to the ground. With a crisp sound, the teacup shattered into several pieces, and he picked up one of the teacups. The fragments were cut off at the elbow, and he tried to focus his attention on the pain of the elbow, but the attention could only be distracted for a while, and was soon covered by the pain like a cramp.He gritted his teeth, stroked again, and continued to seek temporary relief from the sharp pain in his elbow...
Although the wind is blowing outside, there is warmth inside the pavilion. The thick brocade curtains resist the cold wind, and braziers are placed around the pavilion, making people almost forget that it is winter now.
Ye Chenxi was playing against one of the guards, Shi Xian, but Shi Xian waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for Ye Chenxi to come down, so he couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness, it's your turn."
Ye Chenxi came back to his senses, picked up a white piece, but didn't know where to put it, his mind was in a mess, and he could hardly think.
Su Moyun has been there for a while, I don't know how Ye Qingxiao is doing?With his personality, he would naturally not give in easily, for fear that he would suffer some hardships.Heart-killing is a very domineering medicine. He has tried the effect on several bullies who offended him without long eyes. Those bullies rolled on the ground in pain and begged for mercy. The screams were creepy, and some couldn't help Bite your tongue and kill yourself.Thinking of this, I couldn't help being startled, would he also...
"Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?" Shi Xian couldn't help asking after seeing him in a daze for a long time.
Ye Chenxi's hand trembled, and the white piece fell on the chessboard, disrupting the game.Seeing this, Shi Xian continued, "Your Highness seems a little restless today."
Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows, and took a sip of the tea that was put aside. The tea was already cold, and there was a bitter taste in her throat.
"What is there to be anxious about, my lord? You are overthinking." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the smile was a little less flamboyant and a little more pale.
Although Shi Xian knew something was different, he didn't dare to ask further questions, so he could only focus on the chessboard, think for a while, and then put down a move.When he raised his head, he saw Ye Chenxi staring blankly at a certain direction, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was the place where His Majesty the Emperor was imprisoned.
After waiting for a while, Ye Chenxi still didn't come back to his senses, so he could only cough lightly, Ye Chenxi's whole body shook, the teacup in his hand shook, and the green tea soup spilled on the chessboard.
With a snap, Ye Chenxi suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, and walked quickly towards Ye Qingxiao's room. Although the distance was not long, Ye Chenxi walked very impatiently.The cold wind continued to roll up his clothes, as if even his heart was shivering from the cold.
From a distance, I saw Su Moyun standing alone under the plum tree outside Ye Qingxiao's room, covered in plum blossoms.He walked over in three steps and two steps, and asked in a calm voice that had been concealed: "How is he?"
Su Moyun shook her head: "He is more stubborn than I expected, and he refused to compromise for two hours."
Ye Chenxi's heart tightened. He had tried the medicine on several people, but no one could survive for an hour. If this continued, he was really afraid that Ye Qingxiao would die of pain.When he realized it, his body had pushed the door involuntarily and walked in.
A strong smell of blood came to his nostrils, which almost made him feel suffocated. He involuntarily looked at Ye Qingxiao who was sitting on the ground with his back leaning on the wooden desk. shrink.Several scratches appeared on Ye Qingxiao's left elbow, and the bright red blood dripped along the elbow, already soaking through the clothes.He didn't know where his hair rope fell, his long hair was messy and scattered around his body, and his handsome face was pale.He held a teacup fragment in his right hand, and his whole body was shaking like a leaf falling in the wind, long gone from the splendor of the day.
Ye Chenxi didn't know whether it was shock or anger, he rushed over, snatched the fragment of the teacup from Ye Qingxiao's hand, threw it out of the door with all his might, and said angrily, "You still refuse to compromise at this point?"
Ye Qingxiao raised her head and looked at Ye Chenxi with difficulty, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "I said I couldn't write..."
Ye Chenxi's fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but they couldn't do anything to Ye Qingxiao.A burst of sourness filled the nose, and even the voice trembled: "Back then, you and I were jokingly called the two handles of civil and military by the officials. We each have our own strengths, and I may not be inferior to you. Why do you insist on leaving the throne to Ye Youran at this time? No? Is it true that I am not as good as him in your heart?"
Facing Ye Chenxi's questioning, Ye Qingxiao could only sigh silently.
Ye Chenxi couldn't wait for his answer, so she clamped his shoulders excitedly, and shouted: "Say it! Since you refuse to compromise, you have to give me a reason to give up."
"I have nothing to say." Ye Qingxiao's consciousness has gradually blurred, if she hadn't been supported by willpower, she might have passed out.Everything around her was blurred, only Ye Chenxi's sad and angry face was very clear.
The person he least wanted to hurt was Ye Chenxi, but facing such a sad Ye Chenxi at this moment, he couldn't say a word of comfort.At the moment when the four eyes met, they all clearly saw the tears in each other's eyes.
Ye Qingxiao couldn't bear it any longer, and slowly closed her eyes.Ye Chenxi was startled, and said anxiously: "Come on!"
Su Moyun, who had been standing at the door, finally walked in. He glanced at Ye Qingxiao before turning his gaze to Ye Chenxi: "Your Highness, if you give up now, all your previous efforts will be in vain..."
"No one has ever been able to last for an hour. Now he has lasted for two hours. If he waits any longer, I'm afraid he will die of pain."
"Your Highness, it is because he has reached his limit that he is easy to compromise. Since he was ruthless enough to kill you back then, why couldn't you have the heart to treat him?" Although Su Moyun was calm on the surface, his heart was already raging.They captured Ye Qingxiao as they wished, but things changed in a vague way, and the uneasiness in his heart was too obvious to be ignored.
"Even if you wait another ten days, he won't compromise." After speaking, Ye Chenxi picked up the unconscious Ye Qingxiao, carefully put him on the couch, then turned her head to look at Su Moyun, and stretched out her hand: "What about the antidote?"
Su Moyun felt cold, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, can you wait a little longer?"
"Give me the antidote!" Ye Chenxi's tone was filled with impatience.
Su Moyun was startled, and involuntarily took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, and poured out an antidote for Ye Chenxi. When his hand accidentally touched Ye Chenxi's finger, his whole body trembled, and he quickly avoided it. open.
Ye Chenxi grabbed Su Moyun's hand, with a bit of guilt on her handsome face: "Mo Yun, I just don't want to bear the name of killing my brother."
This explanation was so pale that even he couldn't convince himself. How could he convince Su Moyun, whose heart was like a mirror?Su Moyun felt a pain in her heart, and slowly broke away from Ye Chenxi's hand, her tone was somewhat alienated: "Your Highness does not need to explain things to the minister."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room slowly, the sound of every step was very clear, Ye Chenxi knew that he was angry, but at this moment he couldn't care about him, Ye Chenxi stuffed the antidote into Ye Qingxiao's mouth, and waited After the medicine melted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and began to help Ye Qingxiao treat the wound and clean up the blood on his body. After he finished his work, the sky had already darkened.
He tucked up the brocade quilt for Ye Qingxiao, then opened the window of the room, letting the fresh breeze blow away the smell of blood in the room,
Returning to the couch, staring blankly at the pale sleeping face, he suddenly remembered the day when he first met Ye Qingxiao after he lost his memory, because he didn't want to believe Chu Aohan's one-sided words, he decided to sneak back to Dongyue Kingdom to ask his mother and Uncle asked for proof.
Ever since he came back from the dead, in order to avoid the eyeliner of Dongyue Kingdom, he has always disguised himself as Chu Aohan's newly-deceased Ninth Emperor Brother, and stayed in Rising Sun Kingdom as him.Even when he returned home to meet his mother and uncle, he still never took off the human skin mask on his face.
At that time, he was afraid of Ye Qingxiao's eyeliner in Prince Kang's mansion, so he lingered near the gate for a long time, but unexpectedly saw Ye Qingxiao who came out of Prince Kang's mansion. He was hiding in the dark at that time, and Ye Qingxiao didn't notice him.He had already seen Ye Qingxiao's portrait, so he could recognize it at a glance.
At that time, the wind and rain were thick, Ye Qingxiao was wearing a moon white gown, and walked out of Kang Wang's mansion alone, the hem of her clothes was half wet by the rain.Ye Chenxi looked intently and found several guards hiding in the dark to protect him.
I don't know if she sensed the sight in the dark, but Ye Qingxiao suddenly held up her umbrella and looked back, her eyes swept towards the direction where he was hiding, and with just one glance, a deep imprint was carved on Ye Chenxi's heart.
He only felt that the melancholy between Ye Qingxiao's brows was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it. Although the melancholy was fleeting, it made him deeply indelible.
Later, he secretly met Ye Qingxiao several times, and found that what was hidden in those eyes was deep loneliness.He doesn't understand, that person rules the world, has brothers who will never betray, the most caring confidant, a group of loyal ministers, and popularity. Although Chu Aohan is watching, but he is still under control, why is he still in control? Will show such a lonely look?
In the countless sleepless nights that followed, whenever he thought of this hateful person, what always came to his mind was the occasional loneliness that appeared between the brows of this person.
Thinking of this, he gently stretched out his hand to caress Ye Qingxiao's eyebrows, that expression was a tenderness that he had never noticed before.
8. Life and Death
"Chen Xi...don't drink...alcohol is poisonous..."
Whispering whispers slowly passed through the ears, waking up Ye Chenxi, who was lying on the bed and taking a nap. He looked at Ye Qingxiao who was still asleep, and saw that his face was covered with cold sweat, and he murmured repeatedly: "Chenxi... ...don't drink..."
Ye Chenxi didn't know when she had been poisoned, but from Ye Qingxiao's tone, she seemed to care about herself very much, and thinking that he had attacked her cruelly, even if it was just an occasional murderous thought, it was still hard to let go.
Ye Chenxi looked at that pale face with a little panic, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.
"What did you dream about? Why do you care about me so much only in your dreams?"
The sleeping person did not hear his sigh, and continued to struggle in memory...
Turning to the most obscure volume of memories, since Ye Qingxiao lost his mother at the age of five, he has been taken care of by his aunt Longfei.Concubine Long treated him very well, and Concubine Long's younger brother, Ye Chenxi, also liked him very much, and insisted on eating and living with him all the time.Because of Concubine Long's love and Ye Chenxi's company, he gradually eased the pain of losing his mother, and has been living a life of loving mother, filial piety, and brothers and friends.
The royal father has only three sons, Ye Qingxiao is the eldest son, the second son Ye Chenxi, and the third son is Ye Youran, born of a court lady.Due to the early death of the empress, and the emperor's father has always insisted not to establish a queen, so even though the principle of the Dongyue National Reserve is to establish a virtuous man and not a long man, but because Ye Qingxiao captured Gui, who symbolized imperial power, when he was catching Zhou, and because of him He was clever when he was young, and he was deeply loved by the officials. The ministers often talked about Ye Qingxiao in private, saying that he would become a great weapon in the future, and some ministers proposed to make Ye Qingxiao the crown prince in the early court.
Although his father excused him on the grounds that he was still young, since then, Ye Qingxiao occasionally had some accidents, and several times he almost died in Huangquan.
As she got older, rumors gradually spread in the palace that Ye Qingxiao's biological mother, Concubine Lan, was murdered by Concubine Long.Ye Qingxiao recalled all the past, and felt that something was wrong. After his mother was poisoned, his father repeatedly emphasized not to involve innocent people. Under his father's instruction, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested a court lady to close the case.
He was young at that time, and he was very hesitant, he didn't think about what was wrong, but now he understands that his father is protecting someone.
With this gap, Ye Qingxiao gradually wanted to understand many things, and also understood where the accidents he had encountered in these years came from.While caring about him, his aunt could secretly plan how to get rid of his obstacle.If Ye Chenxi hadn't insisted on eating and living with him all these years, maybe he wouldn't be able to survive now.
Later, he secretly sent someone to investigate the fact that his mother was poisoned that year. When the truth gradually emerged, even though he had been mentally prepared, he still fell into an ice cave.
Although he knew that the real murderer was by his side, in order to survive, he had to maintain the false image of motherly kindness and filial piety. While calling Concubine Long his mother with a smile, he always stuck his fingertips into his palms, letting the pain cover up the Bitter hatred.
He once hated Ye Chenxi, and for a while he used various excuses to avoid Ye Chenxi, but when faced with those lost eyes that were always chasing his figure, he felt inexplicably sad.So, after countless sleepless nights of struggling, he finally accepted Ye Chenxi sincerely and treated him as before.
Later, Ye Chenxi gradually realized that the accidents that happened to him were not accidental, so she watched him more closely, and would never leave his side unless necessary. Chen Xi still insisted on sharing the bed with him.Concubine Long was jealous, although she secretly scolded her son for not knowing good and bad, but there was nothing she could do.
Before Ye Qingxiao held the coronation ceremony, Concubine Long seemed anxious all the time, fearing that Ye Qingxiao would be out of her control after moving into her palace, afraid of losing the best time to strike.
Ye Chenxi seemed to have guessed Concubine Long's thoughts, and she became even more vigilant, and refused to leave him easily, even if she had to leave, she would let people secretly protect him.
That day, the emperor summoned Ye Chenxi for something, Ye Chenxi deliberately asked him to go to Qianma later before leaving, and told him not to wander around.He knew that Ye Chenxi was concerned about him, but he couldn't tell him clearly about his mother's conspiracy, so he had to use all kinds of excuses to cover it up.And he didn't say anything, he just quietly painted Danqing in the study.
Ye Chenxi had been gone for a long time, and when his picture of Muyu in the Bamboo Forest was finished, Ye Chenxi hadn't come back yet. He put down his penis and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard the voice of his personal servant Zhang Quan outside the door.
"Your Highness, this servant brought you some home-brewed sour plum wine to cool you off."
Ye Qingxiao retracted the hand that had just reached out to the teacup, and ordered outside the door: "Bring it in!"
"Yes!" The door was gently pushed open, Zhang Quan came in with a jug of chilled plum wine and a wine glass, after setting them up, he poured a glass of wine for Ye Qingxiao, then stepped aside and waited.
Zhang Quan watched Ye Qingxiao grow up, and Ye Qingxiao treated him like a different servant. He reached out to pick up the cold wine glass, but felt Zhang Quan behind him tremble slightly. Bringing the wine glass to his lips, he glanced at Zhang Quan who was beside him from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, he found that Zhang Quan's eyes were a little unnatural, as if he was a little anxious, but he tried his best to bear it.
He seemed to remember something suddenly, put the wine glass on his lips, did not drink down the wine, but turned to look at Zhang Quan, and asked with concern: "Is your nephew cured? Do you have enough medicinal materials?"
Since Zhang Quan's elder brother died young and only such a son was left behind, Zhang Quan always regarded this nephew as his own.A while ago, Zhang Quan was very worried when he heard that his nephew had a sudden illness. After Ye Qingxiao learned about it, she rewarded him with a lot of medicinal materials.
Zhang Quan's expression changed when he heard the words, and he immediately replied: "Thank you for your concern, my slave's nephew has recovered from his illness."
A smile appeared on Ye Qingxiao's lips, and he said: "That's good, you only leave him as the queen of the Zhang family, and he can't make any mistakes. Why don't I find him an errand so that you can see each other often, It’s good to have someone to take care of.”
Zhang Quan suddenly knelt down, and said sadly: "Your Highness has treated this slave so far, but this slave actually harmed His Highness, it's really worse than a pig or a dog."
Ye Qingxiao pretended to be surprised, and asked: "What did you say?"
"Your Highness, wine is poisonous." After finishing speaking, Zhang Quan's haggard face began to burst into tears: "Damn it, slave! Watching His Highness grow up, I really can't bear to harm His Highness, but the slave's nephew is in the hands of Concubine Long. If the servant doesn't do what she says, the Zhang family will die."
With a bang, Ye Qingxiao put down the wine glass in her hand, and helped Zhang Quan get up herself, with a sad expression on her face: "You can't bear to harm each other, but the Concubine Long is my own aunt, but why is she so heartless?"
"Back then, Concubine Lan's entry into the palace was not at the wish of Concubine Long, and Her Royal Highness caught Gui when she was catching Zhou. Concubine Long was afraid that you would compete with His Highness for the reserve position, so naturally she couldn't tolerate it." Zhang Quan said here, with tears in his eyes. There was anger on his face.
Ye Qingxiao pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I will send someone to save your nephew, and I will never let your Zhang family die. But you must keep your mouth shut about what happened today."
"My servant swears that I will never reveal a single word about what happened today. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning!" Zhang Quan swore to the sky with a firm face.
"Since you didn't do what Concubine Long wanted, she will never keep you. You can no longer stay in the palace. You should pack up your things immediately and find a place to hide. After your nephew is rescued, you two Find a hidden place to spend the rest of your life!"
"Your Highness, you must take good care of yourself when the slave is not by your side." Zhang Quanyu looked at Ye Qingxiao choked with sobs, and added worryingly: "Be careful of Concubine Long."
Ye Qingxiao nodded lightly, took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom and put them in Zhang Quan's hands, urging: "Hurry up, it won't be good to be discovered by Concubine Long."
Zhang Quan took the bank note, put it in his arms, kneeled down and kowtowed three times to Ye Qingxiao, and then slowly exited the study.
The study room suddenly fell silent, Ye Qingxiao picked up the glass of poisoned wine, and stared at the slightly rippling liquid in a daze, the wine smelled very fragrant and lifted people's spirits, but it was gut-piercing poison.He sighed softly, feeling sour and helpless.
With the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from far away, the door of the study was knocked open, Ye Chenxi rushed in hastily, grabbed the wine glass in his hand, and asked quickly: "Have you had a drink?"
Ye Qingxiao looked up at him, only to feel that Ye Chenxi's face was pale and terrified. Although she knew it well, she still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
"I asked you if you drank it!" Ye Chenxi looked very impatient, and her voice became much louder.
"What to drink?" Ye Qingxiao asked innocently, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth cautiously and emphasized: "Drink! It's this wine, have you had it yet?"
Seeing Ye Chenxi's anxious and frightened appearance, Ye Qingxiao felt warm in her heart, finally couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and replied truthfully: "I haven't drunk yet."
Ye Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Ye Qingxiao's puzzled face, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for a while. Thinking of the attempt to poison Ye Qingxiao this time, his mother might do it again, his heart Just like falling into an ice kiln, his mind turned suddenly, and suddenly an idea flashed through him, he shouted: "I just came back from my father's place, I'm thirsty, give me this glass of wine."
When Ye Qingxiao heard this, her expression changed suddenly, and she said quickly: "Don't drink!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to reach out to grab the wine glass, but Ye Chenxi moved very quickly, even though Ye Qingxiao snatched the wine glass halfway, she still took a sip.
Ye Qingxiao pinched his jaw anxiously, and said sharply: "Spit it out!"
"How do I spit out the wine I drank?" Ye Chenxi grinned, and was about to sarcastically say a few more words, but her footsteps began to falter. He thought to himself that the poison was really powerful, but luckily Ye Qingxiao was not allowed to drink it, otherwise The consequences could be disastrous.He immediately sat down on the chair and tried his best to stabilize himself with the desk.
Ye Qingxiao was startled when she saw this, she immediately supported him, and said: "Alcohol is poisonous! I will go to the imperial doctor immediately."
Ye Chenxi hurriedly pressed Ye Qingxiao's hand, and ordered: "Be careful in everything from now on, and don't completely trust even the closest people."
Ye Qingxiao's heart was burning with anxiety. Seeing that he still did not forget her own safety, she was both anxious and moved, and immediately reprimanded: "What time is it? What are you talking about? I'll go to Xuanyu Doctor, you Don't move yet."
At this moment, Ye Chenxi's personal bodyguard, Su Shiqing, broke in. Ye Qingxiao knew that every time Ye Chenxi left her, she would leave Su Shiqing to stare at her. Su Shiqing must have noticed something wrong with Zhang Quan before going to inform Ye Chenxi. There was no need to explain, and he immediately ordered Su Shiqing: "Chen Xi has been poisoned, call the imperial doctor!"
Su Shiqing glanced back and forth between Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi in surprise, then cast a disapproving glance at Ye Chenxi, Ye Chenxi struggled to smile back, but a burning pain in his abdomen made his smile a little bit distortion.
Su Shiqing knew that the poison was powerful, so she didn't dare to delay, and ran out immediately.
Ye Qingxiao helped Ye Chenxi to the recliner where he usually rested, tucked in a warm blanket for him, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Ye Chenxi didn't want him to worry, so she forced a smile and said, "I didn't drink much, I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"Why do you want to drink? You clearly know..." Ye Qingxiao suddenly stopped at this point. Although they all knew some things well, they had a tacit understanding not to reveal them, because once they were revealed, everything would be ruined. changed.
Although Ye Qingxiao understood Ye Chenxi's intentions, she couldn't control her anger. She was about to leave the reclining chair, but Ye Chenxi hurriedly grabbed her right hand, and a painful cry came from her ear: "It hurts!"
Even though he knew that Ye Chenxi was pretending, he still couldn't turn a blind eye, so he sighed, held Ye Chenxi's hand instead, and said softly: "The imperial doctor will be here soon, please bear with me."
"Qing Xiao, I'm sorry..." Ye Chenxi held Ye Qing Xiao's hand tightly, wondering if it was because of poisoning, her voice was very low.
Ye Qingxiao raised her eyebrows and corrected her: "If you want to be called Brother Huang, when will you change your habit? If your father hears about it, he will reprimand you for not knowing the rules."
"Anyway, it's not much older, so it makes Brother Huang very unfamiliar." After a pause, he asked suddenly: "Do you remember what I caught when I was catching Zhou?"
When Ye Qingxiao heard this, a look of uneasiness flashed across her handsome face: "This has become a joke in the palace, how could I forget?"
When Ye Chenxi was catching Zhou, he caught him standing aside watching the fun, this incident is still talked about by the court ladies.
Ye Chenxi chuckled a few times, and murmured: "That's what the heart wants."
Ye Qingxiao pretended not to hear.At this time, the imperial doctor came sweating profusely at the urging of Su Shiqing, and happened to meet Concubine Long who had heard the news at the door. Concubine Long's face was pale, and even her clothes were a little messy. She rushed into the bedroom anxiously, grabbed the Holding Ye Chenxi's hand, he asked, "How did you get poisoned?"
Ye Chenxi immediately said angrily: "Because I was thirsty, I drank the bottle of wine in Brother Huang's hand. After drinking it, I felt like I was on fire... Mother... I'm afraid I can't do it..."
When Ye Qingxiao and Concubine Long heard the words, their expressions changed suddenly. Concubine Long's eyes were filled with hatred and sorrow, and she scolded the imperial doctor: "Hurry up and give him a diagnosis and treatment!"
The imperial doctor came to the bed in a panic, and pressed Ye Chenxi's hand to diagnose the pulse.Since Su Shiqing had already ordered in secret, he intentionally pondered for a moment, pretending to be worried, until Concubine Long urged him, he said: "The poison in Your Highness is very powerful, fortunately, it was discovered early, and the poison has not yet spread to the internal organs. The minister will prescribe a prescription for His Highness to decoct the medicine, let His Highness take it on time, and rest for a period of time, and he will recover slowly, but remember not to let His Highness's mood fluctuate greatly, otherwise the residual poison will spread."
Concubine Long was already in a state of confusion at this moment, she waved her hands and said, "Hurry up and decoct the medicine!"
The imperial doctor immediately bowed and left, Concubine Long talked with Ye Chenxi for a while, and did not go back until Ye Chenxi said that she wanted to rest.
When Concubine Long's charming figure disappeared at the door, Ye Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief.Although he looks sick, but he has grasped the portion when he drank it. In fact, his poison is not as serious as it appears on the surface.
After all the idlers left, the rest of the room was quiet, and he and Ye Qingxiao were relatively speechless.Ye Chenxi tightly grasped Ye Qingxiao's hand, the fingers that were slightly blue due to poisoning were still trembling slightly.
When he first heard that Ye Qingxiao was in danger, he felt ashamed and kept thinking: If Ye Qingxiao died, he would not live alone.
The feeling of being so frightened that the heart seemed to be shaking into ashes still lingers to this day.Maybe from the moment he caught Zhou and caught Ye Qingxiao, everything was doomed, right?
9. Forget each other
When Ye Qingxiao woke up, it was already late at night, and it seemed that the excruciating pain still remained in his body, which made him shiver uncontrollably.Turning her head to look beside her, she found that Ye Chenxi was sleeping on the edge of the couch. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
It's been a long time since Ye Chenxi had dreamed about that incident. After Ye Chenxi left, he had always dreamed of the cave collapse in the Tianshan Mountains. When Ye Chenxi pushed him out of the cave, he would be tearing his heart out. Waking up in excruciating pain.
Looking at this face with the same eyebrows in the dark, I felt like it was a lifetime ago, and I couldn't help letting out a low sigh. He and Ye Chenxi had gone through ups and downs in their lives, and rubbed shoulders several times, but now there is only deep-rooted hatred .Sometimes he couldn't help thinking that if they could really forget each other, it would be better than hating each other.
Not knowing whether she felt Ye Qingxiao's gaze or heard Ye Qingxiao's sigh, Ye Chenxi woke up slowly, they looked at each other in the dark, their eyes were complicated.
After regaining consciousness, Ye Qingxiao only felt her throat was thirsty, so she got down on the bed to get water, and when her feet hit the ground, she was startled to feel her legs were limp and weak, and her body fell forward unbalanced. Ye Chenxi quickly reached out to catch him, and asked urgently :"Are you OK?"
Ye Qingxiao shook her head, and was helped back to the couch by Ye Chenxi. He pointed to the kettle on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to drink water."
Ye Chenxi rushed to the table and picked up a porcelain cup, poured water into it, and then returned to the couch and brought the porcelain cup to Ye Qingxiao's lips. Ye Qingxiao took a few sips, and suddenly a burst of light pierced into her eyes , he turned his eyes,
Seeing this, Su Moyun's face changed suddenly, and he followed behind him worriedly.The guards who were patrolling along the way all stared at them dumbfounded, not knowing what happened.
Ye Chenxi rushed into her room, swiped her palm, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered.Ye Chenxi still couldn't understand his hatred, but he couldn't vent it. Turning his eyes, he saw the long sword hanging on the wall, and was about to draw it out and dance wildly, but Su Moyun rushed in and hugged him from behind.
"Your Highness, don't force yourself..." Su Moyun's voice was extremely gentle and a little sad.
Ye Chenxi withdrew her half-stretched hand and said bitterly: "He is forcing me, he would rather give way to Ye Youran than to me. He even compares himself to his cousins." Well, when King Yu rebelled and King An stood by, he did not kill King An. This king knew that he was in danger on the day of his wedding, and he regretted the marriage and came to save him, but he wanted to kill him. What did this king do to make him hate him? So far?"
Speaking of the excitement, Ye Chenxi drew his sword, as fast as lightning, and slashed at the wooden table beside him, with a bang, the wooden table broke in two.
Su Moyun listened to Ye Chenxi's accusation, his heart was pierced like a knife, and he hugged Ye Chenxi even harder, stroked his chest with his hands, and slowly comforted him: "Your Highness and he are called the two handles of civil and military affairs in our country. He has been competing with him for the throne, so how could he let His Highness go? His Highness has compassion for his brother and cannot bear to be hurt, so he just took advantage of His Highness's unwillingness to delay the time, and when his troops arrive, His Highness will waste all previous efforts."
Ye Chenxi gritted her teeth, gradually tightened her sword hand, and said nothing.
Su Moyun continued to caress his chest, and said softly: "If His Highness can't be cruel, why don't you let me try? This matter should not be delayed for too long."
Ye Chenxi slowly closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he replied: "Okay."
Su Moyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and put her face close to Ye Chenxi's back, her voice gradually lowered, with temptation: "Your Highness, hug me..."
From the day Ye Qingxiao was kidnapped, Ye Chenxi never hugged him again, and he was always feeling uneasy, as if something was slipping away at his fingertips, and he couldn't keep it even if he wanted to.He was too afraid of this feeling, only Ye Chenxi's hug could relieve him.
Ye Chenxi turned around when she heard the words, dropped the sword in her hand, and lowered her head to kiss Su Moyun's lips. His movements were very rude, as if to vent something, but Su Moyun didn't care, and raised her head to respond enthusiastically. The tips of people's tongues are rolling against each other in their mouths, and their hands are caressing each other's body fiercely, wishing to rub each other into their own bodies.
As their panting became heavier, Ye Chenxi pulled Su Moyun onto the couch, and lowered the curtains to cover the boundless spring scenery, only the faint moaning sound could not go away.
When Ye Qingxiao woke up, the snow had stopped outside the window, the brazier in the room had been extinguished, and it was chilly.Although the wound has been bandaged, every movement will affect the wound, and it hurts like a fire.He reluctantly lifted the brocade quilt, dressed and went to bed, just when he was fully dressed, he heard the sound of the door opening.He thought it was Ye Chenxi again, and his heart trembled for no reason.
Su Moyun walked in, slowly came to the bed, and looked at Ye Qingxiao with a half-smile: "Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?"
Seeing that it was Su Moyun who came in, Ye Qingxiao's mood was very complicated, as if he was relieved, but he was faintly lost, he asked calmly: "What do you want me to do?"
"I am here to ask Your Majesty for something." After speaking, Su Moyun put a roll of dyed yellow paper on the case, but his eyes never left Ye Qingxiao: "Your Majesty, please!"
Su Moyun had never been a minister in front of Ye Qingxiao, and because Ye Qingxiao was forced to write an abdication edict today, he had to admit his status as emperor, but he showed no respect at all.
Ye Qingxiao didn't even look at the yellow paper on the case, she said firmly: "I don't know how to write."
Su Moyun narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Your Highness has compassion for your brother, but this minister is different. If Your Majesty is no longer aware of current affairs, don't blame this minister for being cruel."
Ye Qingxiao laughed softly: "Is there any storm that I haven't seen in my life? You can use any means, but it's impossible for me to compromise."
Although Su Moyun had nothing to do with Ye Qingxiao before, she had heard quite a few stories about this brave emperor, and knew that he always had a calm attitude when facing important events. Now, seeing him being controlled by others, he did not lose his bearing, and he was not annoyed at all. Taking a step forward, he reached out and squeezed his jaw, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
The pills melt in your mouth, you can't even taste the taste.Ye Qingxiao looked at Su Moyun and said calmly, "Is this poison?"
Su Moyun let go of Ye Qingxiao, and said with a sneer: "Poison can actually make people happy, but this medicine makes life worse than death."
As soon as Su Moyun finished speaking, Ye Qingxiao felt a sharp pain like ten thousand ants piercing his heart, and it seemed that the blood in his whole body was about to flow backwards. He frowned, his whole body trembled violently, and cold sweat slowly oozes from his forehead.
Su Moyun watched coldly from the side, and explained: "This kind of medicine is called Zhuxin. It will not kill you, but it will make you feel as if your heart, lungs, bones and blood are being slowly sawed by a sword. If your majesty doesn't want to suffer, then Please write down the edict!"
Ye Qingxiao fell on the couch, his lips turned white from the pain, his hands tightly grasped the brocade quilt, his head was dizzy, he almost thought he would faint from the pain, but the sharp pain was extremely clear.Cold sweat slid down his forehead and flowed into his eyes. When he spoke, his voice trembled: "I said I would never write."
"I admire your majesty's strength of character very much, but I don't know how long your majesty can maintain it?" After speaking, Su Moyun flicked his sleeves, turned and walked out of the room.When he was about to step out of the threshold with one foot, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Ye Qingxiao: "The minister is right outside the door, if Your Majesty changes his mind, he can call the minister to come in."
When the door was slowly closed, Ye Qingxiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, rolled around in the brocade quilt, her nails dug deep into her palm, but she couldn't relieve the bone-eating pain.When another sharp pain hit, he unconsciously grabbed the brocade quilt, and with such force that it tore the brocade quilt to pieces.
I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard the door opening and footsteps.Ye Qingxiao raised her sweaty face, looked at Su Moyun with a cold smile on her lips, and forced her body to stop shaking with willpower.His personality is aloof and arrogant, even if he is controlled by others, he cannot lose his momentum.
Su Moyun stared at Ye Qingxiao for a moment before asking: "How is Your Majesty thinking?"
"No matter how many times you ask...my answer...will not change..." Ye Qingxiao squeezed her voice through her teeth with difficulty.A short sentence has exhausted his strength.
Su Moyun sneered: "It seems that I came in too early, please give Your Majesty some more time to think about it!"
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room without hesitation, without even looking back.
Ye Qingxiao's whole body was already drenched in cold sweat, and his limbs were filled with pain. The pain passed after a while, and he was almost overwhelmed.He glanced around and saw several teacups on the table. He made up his mind and slowly crawled to the edge of the couch, but it was extremely difficult to climb the distance of those few steps.
After getting off the couch, he dragged his heavy body to the desk, grabbed the teacup on the desk, and with a violent force, knocked the teacup to the ground. With a crisp sound, the teacup shattered into several pieces, and he picked up one of the teacups. The fragments were cut off at the elbow, and he tried to focus his attention on the pain of the elbow, but the attention could only be distracted for a while, and was soon covered by the pain like a cramp.He gritted his teeth, stroked again, and continued to seek temporary relief from the sharp pain in his elbow...
Although the wind is blowing outside, there is warmth inside the pavilion. The thick brocade curtains resist the cold wind, and braziers are placed around the pavilion, making people almost forget that it is winter now.
Ye Chenxi was playing against one of the guards, Shi Xian, but Shi Xian waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for Ye Chenxi to come down, so he couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness, it's your turn."
Ye Chenxi came back to his senses, picked up a white piece, but didn't know where to put it, his mind was in a mess, and he could hardly think.
Su Moyun has been there for a while, I don't know how Ye Qingxiao is doing?With his personality, he would naturally not give in easily, for fear that he would suffer some hardships.Heart-killing is a very domineering medicine. He has tried the effect on several bullies who offended him without long eyes. Those bullies rolled on the ground in pain and begged for mercy. The screams were creepy, and some couldn't help Bite your tongue and kill yourself.Thinking of this, I couldn't help being startled, would he also...
"Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?" Shi Xian couldn't help asking after seeing him in a daze for a long time.
Ye Chenxi's hand trembled, and the white piece fell on the chessboard, disrupting the game.Seeing this, Shi Xian continued, "Your Highness seems a little restless today."
Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows, and took a sip of the tea that was put aside. The tea was already cold, and there was a bitter taste in her throat.
"What is there to be anxious about, my lord? You are overthinking." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the smile was a little less flamboyant and a little more pale.
Although Shi Xian knew something was different, he didn't dare to ask further questions, so he could only focus on the chessboard, think for a while, and then put down a move.When he raised his head, he saw Ye Chenxi staring blankly at a certain direction, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was the place where His Majesty the Emperor was imprisoned.
After waiting for a while, Ye Chenxi still didn't come back to his senses, so he could only cough lightly, Ye Chenxi's whole body shook, the teacup in his hand shook, and the green tea soup spilled on the chessboard.
With a snap, Ye Chenxi suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, and walked quickly towards Ye Qingxiao's room. Although the distance was not long, Ye Chenxi walked very impatiently.The cold wind continued to roll up his clothes, as if even his heart was shivering from the cold.
From a distance, I saw Su Moyun standing alone under the plum tree outside Ye Qingxiao's room, covered in plum blossoms.He walked over in three steps and two steps, and asked in a calm voice that had been concealed: "How is he?"
Su Moyun shook her head: "He is more stubborn than I expected, and he refused to compromise for two hours."
Ye Chenxi's heart tightened. He had tried the medicine on several people, but no one could survive for an hour. If this continued, he was really afraid that Ye Qingxiao would die of pain.When he realized it, his body had pushed the door involuntarily and walked in.
A strong smell of blood came to his nostrils, which almost made him feel suffocated. He involuntarily looked at Ye Qingxiao who was sitting on the ground with his back leaning on the wooden desk. shrink.Several scratches appeared on Ye Qingxiao's left elbow, and the bright red blood dripped along the elbow, already soaking through the clothes.He didn't know where his hair rope fell, his long hair was messy and scattered around his body, and his handsome face was pale.He held a teacup fragment in his right hand, and his whole body was shaking like a leaf falling in the wind, long gone from the splendor of the day.
Ye Chenxi didn't know whether it was shock or anger, he rushed over, snatched the fragment of the teacup from Ye Qingxiao's hand, threw it out of the door with all his might, and said angrily, "You still refuse to compromise at this point?"
Ye Qingxiao raised her head and looked at Ye Chenxi with difficulty, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "I said I couldn't write..."
Ye Chenxi's fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but they couldn't do anything to Ye Qingxiao.A burst of sourness filled the nose, and even the voice trembled: "Back then, you and I were jokingly called the two handles of civil and military by the officials. We each have our own strengths, and I may not be inferior to you. Why do you insist on leaving the throne to Ye Youran at this time? No? Is it true that I am not as good as him in your heart?"
Facing Ye Chenxi's questioning, Ye Qingxiao could only sigh silently.
Ye Chenxi couldn't wait for his answer, so she clamped his shoulders excitedly, and shouted: "Say it! Since you refuse to compromise, you have to give me a reason to give up."
"I have nothing to say." Ye Qingxiao's consciousness has gradually blurred, if she hadn't been supported by willpower, she might have passed out.Everything around her was blurred, only Ye Chenxi's sad and angry face was very clear.
The person he least wanted to hurt was Ye Chenxi, but facing such a sad Ye Chenxi at this moment, he couldn't say a word of comfort.At the moment when the four eyes met, they all clearly saw the tears in each other's eyes.
Ye Qingxiao couldn't bear it any longer, and slowly closed her eyes.Ye Chenxi was startled, and said anxiously: "Come on!"
Su Moyun, who had been standing at the door, finally walked in. He glanced at Ye Qingxiao before turning his gaze to Ye Chenxi: "Your Highness, if you give up now, all your previous efforts will be in vain..."
"No one has ever been able to last for an hour. Now he has lasted for two hours. If he waits any longer, I'm afraid he will die of pain."
"Your Highness, it is because he has reached his limit that he is easy to compromise. Since he was ruthless enough to kill you back then, why couldn't you have the heart to treat him?" Although Su Moyun was calm on the surface, his heart was already raging.They captured Ye Qingxiao as they wished, but things changed in a vague way, and the uneasiness in his heart was too obvious to be ignored.
"Even if you wait another ten days, he won't compromise." After speaking, Ye Chenxi picked up the unconscious Ye Qingxiao, carefully put him on the couch, then turned her head to look at Su Moyun, and stretched out her hand: "What about the antidote?"
Su Moyun felt cold, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, can you wait a little longer?"
"Give me the antidote!" Ye Chenxi's tone was filled with impatience.
Su Moyun was startled, and involuntarily took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, and poured out an antidote for Ye Chenxi. When his hand accidentally touched Ye Chenxi's finger, his whole body trembled, and he quickly avoided it. open.
Ye Chenxi grabbed Su Moyun's hand, with a bit of guilt on her handsome face: "Mo Yun, I just don't want to bear the name of killing my brother."
This explanation was so pale that even he couldn't convince himself. How could he convince Su Moyun, whose heart was like a mirror?Su Moyun felt a pain in her heart, and slowly broke away from Ye Chenxi's hand, her tone was somewhat alienated: "Your Highness does not need to explain things to the minister."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room slowly, the sound of every step was very clear, Ye Chenxi knew that he was angry, but at this moment he couldn't care about him, Ye Chenxi stuffed the antidote into Ye Qingxiao's mouth, and waited After the medicine melted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and began to help Ye Qingxiao treat the wound and clean up the blood on his body. After he finished his work, the sky had already darkened.
He tucked up the brocade quilt for Ye Qingxiao, then opened the window of the room, letting the fresh breeze blow away the smell of blood in the room,
Returning to the couch, staring blankly at the pale sleeping face, he suddenly remembered the day when he first met Ye Qingxiao after he lost his memory, because he didn't want to believe Chu Aohan's one-sided words, he decided to sneak back to Dongyue Kingdom to ask his mother and Uncle asked for proof.
Ever since he came back from the dead, in order to avoid the eyeliner of Dongyue Kingdom, he has always disguised himself as Chu Aohan's newly-deceased Ninth Emperor Brother, and stayed in Rising Sun Kingdom as him.Even when he returned home to meet his mother and uncle, he still never took off the human skin mask on his face.
At that time, he was afraid of Ye Qingxiao's eyeliner in Prince Kang's mansion, so he lingered near the gate for a long time, but unexpectedly saw Ye Qingxiao who came out of Prince Kang's mansion. He was hiding in the dark at that time, and Ye Qingxiao didn't notice him.He had already seen Ye Qingxiao's portrait, so he could recognize it at a glance.
At that time, the wind and rain were thick, Ye Qingxiao was wearing a moon white gown, and walked out of Kang Wang's mansion alone, the hem of her clothes was half wet by the rain.Ye Chenxi looked intently and found several guards hiding in the dark to protect him.
I don't know if she sensed the sight in the dark, but Ye Qingxiao suddenly held up her umbrella and looked back, her eyes swept towards the direction where he was hiding, and with just one glance, a deep imprint was carved on Ye Chenxi's heart.
He only felt that the melancholy between Ye Qingxiao's brows was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it. Although the melancholy was fleeting, it made him deeply indelible.
Later, he secretly met Ye Qingxiao several times, and found that what was hidden in those eyes was deep loneliness.He doesn't understand, that person rules the world, has brothers who will never betray, the most caring confidant, a group of loyal ministers, and popularity. Although Chu Aohan is watching, but he is still under control, why is he still in control? Will show such a lonely look?
In the countless sleepless nights that followed, whenever he thought of this hateful person, what always came to his mind was the occasional loneliness that appeared between the brows of this person.
Thinking of this, he gently stretched out his hand to caress Ye Qingxiao's eyebrows, that expression was a tenderness that he had never noticed before.
8. Life and Death
"Chen Xi...don't drink...alcohol is poisonous..."
Whispering whispers slowly passed through the ears, waking up Ye Chenxi, who was lying on the bed and taking a nap. He looked at Ye Qingxiao who was still asleep, and saw that his face was covered with cold sweat, and he murmured repeatedly: "Chenxi... ...don't drink..."
Ye Chenxi didn't know when she had been poisoned, but from Ye Qingxiao's tone, she seemed to care about herself very much, and thinking that he had attacked her cruelly, even if it was just an occasional murderous thought, it was still hard to let go.
Ye Chenxi looked at that pale face with a little panic, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.
"What did you dream about? Why do you care about me so much only in your dreams?"
The sleeping person did not hear his sigh, and continued to struggle in memory...
Turning to the most obscure volume of memories, since Ye Qingxiao lost his mother at the age of five, he has been taken care of by his aunt Longfei.Concubine Long treated him very well, and Concubine Long's younger brother, Ye Chenxi, also liked him very much, and insisted on eating and living with him all the time.Because of Concubine Long's love and Ye Chenxi's company, he gradually eased the pain of losing his mother, and has been living a life of loving mother, filial piety, and brothers and friends.
The royal father has only three sons, Ye Qingxiao is the eldest son, the second son Ye Chenxi, and the third son is Ye Youran, born of a court lady.Due to the early death of the empress, and the emperor's father has always insisted not to establish a queen, so even though the principle of the Dongyue National Reserve is to establish a virtuous man and not a long man, but because Ye Qingxiao captured Gui, who symbolized imperial power, when he was catching Zhou, and because of him He was clever when he was young, and he was deeply loved by the officials. The ministers often talked about Ye Qingxiao in private, saying that he would become a great weapon in the future, and some ministers proposed to make Ye Qingxiao the crown prince in the early court.
Although his father excused him on the grounds that he was still young, since then, Ye Qingxiao occasionally had some accidents, and several times he almost died in Huangquan.
As she got older, rumors gradually spread in the palace that Ye Qingxiao's biological mother, Concubine Lan, was murdered by Concubine Long.Ye Qingxiao recalled all the past, and felt that something was wrong. After his mother was poisoned, his father repeatedly emphasized not to involve innocent people. Under his father's instruction, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested a court lady to close the case.
He was young at that time, and he was very hesitant, he didn't think about what was wrong, but now he understands that his father is protecting someone.
With this gap, Ye Qingxiao gradually wanted to understand many things, and also understood where the accidents he had encountered in these years came from.While caring about him, his aunt could secretly plan how to get rid of his obstacle.If Ye Chenxi hadn't insisted on eating and living with him all these years, maybe he wouldn't be able to survive now.
Later, he secretly sent someone to investigate the fact that his mother was poisoned that year. When the truth gradually emerged, even though he had been mentally prepared, he still fell into an ice cave.
Although he knew that the real murderer was by his side, in order to survive, he had to maintain the false image of motherly kindness and filial piety. While calling Concubine Long his mother with a smile, he always stuck his fingertips into his palms, letting the pain cover up the Bitter hatred.
He once hated Ye Chenxi, and for a while he used various excuses to avoid Ye Chenxi, but when faced with those lost eyes that were always chasing his figure, he felt inexplicably sad.So, after countless sleepless nights of struggling, he finally accepted Ye Chenxi sincerely and treated him as before.
Later, Ye Chenxi gradually realized that the accidents that happened to him were not accidental, so she watched him more closely, and would never leave his side unless necessary. Chen Xi still insisted on sharing the bed with him.Concubine Long was jealous, although she secretly scolded her son for not knowing good and bad, but there was nothing she could do.
Before Ye Qingxiao held the coronation ceremony, Concubine Long seemed anxious all the time, fearing that Ye Qingxiao would be out of her control after moving into her palace, afraid of losing the best time to strike.
Ye Chenxi seemed to have guessed Concubine Long's thoughts, and she became even more vigilant, and refused to leave him easily, even if she had to leave, she would let people secretly protect him.
That day, the emperor summoned Ye Chenxi for something, Ye Chenxi deliberately asked him to go to Qianma later before leaving, and told him not to wander around.He knew that Ye Chenxi was concerned about him, but he couldn't tell him clearly about his mother's conspiracy, so he had to use all kinds of excuses to cover it up.And he didn't say anything, he just quietly painted Danqing in the study.
Ye Chenxi had been gone for a long time, and when his picture of Muyu in the Bamboo Forest was finished, Ye Chenxi hadn't come back yet. He put down his penis and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard the voice of his personal servant Zhang Quan outside the door.
"Your Highness, this servant brought you some home-brewed sour plum wine to cool you off."
Ye Qingxiao retracted the hand that had just reached out to the teacup, and ordered outside the door: "Bring it in!"
"Yes!" The door was gently pushed open, Zhang Quan came in with a jug of chilled plum wine and a wine glass, after setting them up, he poured a glass of wine for Ye Qingxiao, then stepped aside and waited.
Zhang Quan watched Ye Qingxiao grow up, and Ye Qingxiao treated him like a different servant. He reached out to pick up the cold wine glass, but felt Zhang Quan behind him tremble slightly. Bringing the wine glass to his lips, he glanced at Zhang Quan who was beside him from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, he found that Zhang Quan's eyes were a little unnatural, as if he was a little anxious, but he tried his best to bear it.
He seemed to remember something suddenly, put the wine glass on his lips, did not drink down the wine, but turned to look at Zhang Quan, and asked with concern: "Is your nephew cured? Do you have enough medicinal materials?"
Since Zhang Quan's elder brother died young and only such a son was left behind, Zhang Quan always regarded this nephew as his own.A while ago, Zhang Quan was very worried when he heard that his nephew had a sudden illness. After Ye Qingxiao learned about it, she rewarded him with a lot of medicinal materials.
Zhang Quan's expression changed when he heard the words, and he immediately replied: "Thank you for your concern, my slave's nephew has recovered from his illness."
A smile appeared on Ye Qingxiao's lips, and he said: "That's good, you only leave him as the queen of the Zhang family, and he can't make any mistakes. Why don't I find him an errand so that you can see each other often, It’s good to have someone to take care of.”
Zhang Quan suddenly knelt down, and said sadly: "Your Highness has treated this slave so far, but this slave actually harmed His Highness, it's really worse than a pig or a dog."
Ye Qingxiao pretended to be surprised, and asked: "What did you say?"
"Your Highness, wine is poisonous." After finishing speaking, Zhang Quan's haggard face began to burst into tears: "Damn it, slave! Watching His Highness grow up, I really can't bear to harm His Highness, but the slave's nephew is in the hands of Concubine Long. If the servant doesn't do what she says, the Zhang family will die."
With a bang, Ye Qingxiao put down the wine glass in her hand, and helped Zhang Quan get up herself, with a sad expression on her face: "You can't bear to harm each other, but the Concubine Long is my own aunt, but why is she so heartless?"
"Back then, Concubine Lan's entry into the palace was not at the wish of Concubine Long, and Her Royal Highness caught Gui when she was catching Zhou. Concubine Long was afraid that you would compete with His Highness for the reserve position, so naturally she couldn't tolerate it." Zhang Quan said here, with tears in his eyes. There was anger on his face.
Ye Qingxiao pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I will send someone to save your nephew, and I will never let your Zhang family die. But you must keep your mouth shut about what happened today."
"My servant swears that I will never reveal a single word about what happened today. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning!" Zhang Quan swore to the sky with a firm face.
"Since you didn't do what Concubine Long wanted, she will never keep you. You can no longer stay in the palace. You should pack up your things immediately and find a place to hide. After your nephew is rescued, you two Find a hidden place to spend the rest of your life!"
"Your Highness, you must take good care of yourself when the slave is not by your side." Zhang Quanyu looked at Ye Qingxiao choked with sobs, and added worryingly: "Be careful of Concubine Long."
Ye Qingxiao nodded lightly, took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom and put them in Zhang Quan's hands, urging: "Hurry up, it won't be good to be discovered by Concubine Long."
Zhang Quan took the bank note, put it in his arms, kneeled down and kowtowed three times to Ye Qingxiao, and then slowly exited the study.
The study room suddenly fell silent, Ye Qingxiao picked up the glass of poisoned wine, and stared at the slightly rippling liquid in a daze, the wine smelled very fragrant and lifted people's spirits, but it was gut-piercing poison.He sighed softly, feeling sour and helpless.
With the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from far away, the door of the study was knocked open, Ye Chenxi rushed in hastily, grabbed the wine glass in his hand, and asked quickly: "Have you had a drink?"
Ye Qingxiao looked up at him, only to feel that Ye Chenxi's face was pale and terrified. Although she knew it well, she still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
"I asked you if you drank it!" Ye Chenxi looked very impatient, and her voice became much louder.
"What to drink?" Ye Qingxiao asked innocently, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth cautiously and emphasized: "Drink! It's this wine, have you had it yet?"
Seeing Ye Chenxi's anxious and frightened appearance, Ye Qingxiao felt warm in her heart, finally couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and replied truthfully: "I haven't drunk yet."
Ye Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Ye Qingxiao's puzzled face, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for a while. Thinking of the attempt to poison Ye Qingxiao this time, his mother might do it again, his heart Just like falling into an ice kiln, his mind turned suddenly, and suddenly an idea flashed through him, he shouted: "I just came back from my father's place, I'm thirsty, give me this glass of wine."
When Ye Qingxiao heard this, her expression changed suddenly, and she said quickly: "Don't drink!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to reach out to grab the wine glass, but Ye Chenxi moved very quickly, even though Ye Qingxiao snatched the wine glass halfway, she still took a sip.
Ye Qingxiao pinched his jaw anxiously, and said sharply: "Spit it out!"
"How do I spit out the wine I drank?" Ye Chenxi grinned, and was about to sarcastically say a few more words, but her footsteps began to falter. He thought to himself that the poison was really powerful, but luckily Ye Qingxiao was not allowed to drink it, otherwise The consequences could be disastrous.He immediately sat down on the chair and tried his best to stabilize himself with the desk.
Ye Qingxiao was startled when she saw this, she immediately supported him, and said: "Alcohol is poisonous! I will go to the imperial doctor immediately."
Ye Chenxi hurriedly pressed Ye Qingxiao's hand, and ordered: "Be careful in everything from now on, and don't completely trust even the closest people."
Ye Qingxiao's heart was burning with anxiety. Seeing that he still did not forget her own safety, she was both anxious and moved, and immediately reprimanded: "What time is it? What are you talking about? I'll go to Xuanyu Doctor, you Don't move yet."
At this moment, Ye Chenxi's personal bodyguard, Su Shiqing, broke in. Ye Qingxiao knew that every time Ye Chenxi left her, she would leave Su Shiqing to stare at her. Su Shiqing must have noticed something wrong with Zhang Quan before going to inform Ye Chenxi. There was no need to explain, and he immediately ordered Su Shiqing: "Chen Xi has been poisoned, call the imperial doctor!"
Su Shiqing glanced back and forth between Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi in surprise, then cast a disapproving glance at Ye Chenxi, Ye Chenxi struggled to smile back, but a burning pain in his abdomen made his smile a little bit distortion.
Su Shiqing knew that the poison was powerful, so she didn't dare to delay, and ran out immediately.
Ye Qingxiao helped Ye Chenxi to the recliner where he usually rested, tucked in a warm blanket for him, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Ye Chenxi didn't want him to worry, so she forced a smile and said, "I didn't drink much, I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"Why do you want to drink? You clearly know..." Ye Qingxiao suddenly stopped at this point. Although they all knew some things well, they had a tacit understanding not to reveal them, because once they were revealed, everything would be ruined. changed.
Although Ye Qingxiao understood Ye Chenxi's intentions, she couldn't control her anger. She was about to leave the reclining chair, but Ye Chenxi hurriedly grabbed her right hand, and a painful cry came from her ear: "It hurts!"
Even though he knew that Ye Chenxi was pretending, he still couldn't turn a blind eye, so he sighed, held Ye Chenxi's hand instead, and said softly: "The imperial doctor will be here soon, please bear with me."
"Qing Xiao, I'm sorry..." Ye Chenxi held Ye Qing Xiao's hand tightly, wondering if it was because of poisoning, her voice was very low.
Ye Qingxiao raised her eyebrows and corrected her: "If you want to be called Brother Huang, when will you change your habit? If your father hears about it, he will reprimand you for not knowing the rules."
"Anyway, it's not much older, so it makes Brother Huang very unfamiliar." After a pause, he asked suddenly: "Do you remember what I caught when I was catching Zhou?"
When Ye Qingxiao heard this, a look of uneasiness flashed across her handsome face: "This has become a joke in the palace, how could I forget?"
When Ye Chenxi was catching Zhou, he caught him standing aside watching the fun, this incident is still talked about by the court ladies.
Ye Chenxi chuckled a few times, and murmured: "That's what the heart wants."
Ye Qingxiao pretended not to hear.At this time, the imperial doctor came sweating profusely at the urging of Su Shiqing, and happened to meet Concubine Long who had heard the news at the door. Concubine Long's face was pale, and even her clothes were a little messy. She rushed into the bedroom anxiously, grabbed the Holding Ye Chenxi's hand, he asked, "How did you get poisoned?"
Ye Chenxi immediately said angrily: "Because I was thirsty, I drank the bottle of wine in Brother Huang's hand. After drinking it, I felt like I was on fire... Mother... I'm afraid I can't do it..."
When Ye Qingxiao and Concubine Long heard the words, their expressions changed suddenly. Concubine Long's eyes were filled with hatred and sorrow, and she scolded the imperial doctor: "Hurry up and give him a diagnosis and treatment!"
The imperial doctor came to the bed in a panic, and pressed Ye Chenxi's hand to diagnose the pulse.Since Su Shiqing had already ordered in secret, he intentionally pondered for a moment, pretending to be worried, until Concubine Long urged him, he said: "The poison in Your Highness is very powerful, fortunately, it was discovered early, and the poison has not yet spread to the internal organs. The minister will prescribe a prescription for His Highness to decoct the medicine, let His Highness take it on time, and rest for a period of time, and he will recover slowly, but remember not to let His Highness's mood fluctuate greatly, otherwise the residual poison will spread."
Concubine Long was already in a state of confusion at this moment, she waved her hands and said, "Hurry up and decoct the medicine!"
The imperial doctor immediately bowed and left, Concubine Long talked with Ye Chenxi for a while, and did not go back until Ye Chenxi said that she wanted to rest.
When Concubine Long's charming figure disappeared at the door, Ye Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief.Although he looks sick, but he has grasped the portion when he drank it. In fact, his poison is not as serious as it appears on the surface.
After all the idlers left, the rest of the room was quiet, and he and Ye Qingxiao were relatively speechless.Ye Chenxi tightly grasped Ye Qingxiao's hand, the fingers that were slightly blue due to poisoning were still trembling slightly.
When he first heard that Ye Qingxiao was in danger, he felt ashamed and kept thinking: If Ye Qingxiao died, he would not live alone.
The feeling of being so frightened that the heart seemed to be shaking into ashes still lingers to this day.Maybe from the moment he caught Zhou and caught Ye Qingxiao, everything was doomed, right?
9. Forget each other
When Ye Qingxiao woke up, it was already late at night, and it seemed that the excruciating pain still remained in his body, which made him shiver uncontrollably.Turning her head to look beside her, she found that Ye Chenxi was sleeping on the edge of the couch. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
It's been a long time since Ye Chenxi had dreamed about that incident. After Ye Chenxi left, he had always dreamed of the cave collapse in the Tianshan Mountains. When Ye Chenxi pushed him out of the cave, he would be tearing his heart out. Waking up in excruciating pain.
Looking at this face with the same eyebrows in the dark, I felt like it was a lifetime ago, and I couldn't help letting out a low sigh. He and Ye Chenxi had gone through ups and downs in their lives, and rubbed shoulders several times, but now there is only deep-rooted hatred .Sometimes he couldn't help thinking that if they could really forget each other, it would be better than hating each other.
Not knowing whether she felt Ye Qingxiao's gaze or heard Ye Qingxiao's sigh, Ye Chenxi woke up slowly, they looked at each other in the dark, their eyes were complicated.
After regaining consciousness, Ye Qingxiao only felt her throat was thirsty, so she got down on the bed to get water, and when her feet hit the ground, she was startled to feel her legs were limp and weak, and her body fell forward unbalanced. Ye Chenxi quickly reached out to catch him, and asked urgently :"Are you OK?"
Ye Qingxiao shook her head, and was helped back to the couch by Ye Chenxi. He pointed to the kettle on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to drink water."
Ye Chenxi rushed to the table and picked up a porcelain cup, poured water into it, and then returned to the couch and brought the porcelain cup to Ye Qingxiao's lips. Ye Qingxiao took a few sips, and suddenly a burst of light pierced into her eyes , he turned his eyes,
