Those years of being played by women's clothing bosses

Eunuch Li has always followed the emperor wherever he went, but today, for the first time ever, he stood alone outside the emperor's study, facing the sun, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Mu Yuan stepped forward and said what the eldest prince had said. Eunuch Li responded with a smile, but he didn't send the ginseng soup to the study immediately.

"Eunuch Li, the ginseng soup is still hot, it might not be good if it cools down." Mu Yuan reminded.

Eunuch Li still just smiled: "But the emperor is discussing matters with several ministers inside. It's an urgent matter, and he specially ordered me to wait outside, and no one is allowed to come in!"

Now that the things have been delivered, whether they can be delivered to the emperor is not up to him.Mu Yuan didn't want to wait any longer, thanked Li Gonggong, turned around and was about to leave.

But before leaving, he inexplicably glanced at the closed doors and windows, and always felt that the doors and windows should not be so closed for discussion.

What happened in the palace is none of Mu Yuan's business.While wandering around, he thought about what Lin Li had said to him just now, and gradually thought of Du Yue again.

The Imperial Study Room is not very far from the Golden Luan Hall, and there are only a few uninhabited palaces in the middle.

Today I just came here to step on a spot. If Du Yue had just set off at the same time as him, no matter how hard I tried, I would have finished what I should have seen by now.

While thinking this way, Mu Yuan walked towards the Golden Luan Hall.

He is the eunuch next to the eldest prince, no matter how he goes, he will not be able to walk on this road.In order to avoid troubles, Mu Yuan intends to keep a low profile and try to keep his head down so that no one will notice.

But before he kept a low profile for a long time, he saw a familiar figure from the back in the palace alley ahead from the corner of his eye—the one who was wearing a eunuch's uniform and held his head upright without bending over or bowing his head. Who else could it be if it wasn't Du Yue?

This is a small road with few people coming and going, so Duyue Dao is not very eye-catching.Looking at it, it seems that he has already been to the Golden Luan Palace and is about to go back to the Great Emperor's Palace.

Just as Mu Yuan was going to go up to call him to stop him, he saw Du Yue suddenly tapped his toes to the ground, jumped into that uninhabited locked palace.

This was not in their original plan!

Mu Yuan was taken aback by Du Yue's actions, fearing that Du Yue would do something dangerous on his own without warning, he hurriedly looked around and made sure that no one had seen him before running to the place where Du Yue had just entered the palace. position, and jumped in together.

Although this palace is uninhabited, it is very clean, almost spotless, and much more refined than the First Prince's residence. The bells under the eaves are tinkling, the courtyard is lush with flowers and plants, and the glazed tiles on the palace wall are exposed to sunlight. Under the shining light, there are even a few small fish swimming happily in several large fish tanks in front of the courtyard.

Except that there is no one, everything looks different from the one in the Great Emperor's womb.

But Mu Yuan is not in the mood to appreciate it right now, he just wants to know what the faster he jumps in here, the better.

After three turns and two turns, Mu Yuan stopped Du Yue in a corridor.

Seeing Mu Yuan, Du Yue was slightly taken aback, then lowered his voice and asked, "What are you doing here!"

"I still want to ask you! You..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Yue stretched out a hand and covered his mouth.

"There are people in this palace." Du Yue lowered his voice, leaning into his ear and said, "I heard it."

Before he had time to explain, Du Yue casually pushed open the door of the nearest room, and hid in with Mu Yuan.

"Didn't you say there are people here?" Mu Yuan asked.

"Not in this room." Du Yue replied.

After entering the room, the two dared to raise their voices a little.

The more Mu Yuan glanced at him, thinking of his concealment from him before, and thinking of his unauthorized actions outside of this mission, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he said angrily: "What's the matter with you suddenly jumping in here this time?" Intend?"

Du Yue didn't understand the word "you", and didn't feel the emotion in Mu Yuan's words, so he replied in a straight line: "I have just been to the Jinluan Palace. I was planning to go back, but when I passed by here, I heard someone talking inside, as if You mentioned goblins or something. You told me before that the locked rooms are all unoccupied houses, and I was worried that talking about goblins might have something to do with our affairs, so I wanted to come in and have a look."

After hearing this, Mu Yuan's anger didn't decrease but increased: "There are so many monsters in the world, a word of monsters can have something to do with our affairs! If you act like this without authorization, what if you startle An Tingwei instead? Should we still do it? Continue to pretend here and wait for the Fox King to come?"

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress his emotions, and continued: "From the beginning, I felt that this plan was very unreliable. A broken bead can attract the fox king? Then we have to wait until the year of the monkey! Not so stupid! Or we can just go back and pack up and leave now, it’s better to go back and catch people in the demon world than to wait here, so you don’t waste time here!”

"But if we leave now, wouldn't it be a failure?"

"Fox King is a demon king. Even if he really covets the broken beads in the hall, what if he doesn't return to the demon world? Go back to the demon world and wait slowly. When will he be caught and when will he not be dealt with!"

Du Yue finally noticed Mu Yuan's displeasure, he was silent for a moment, and said: "But if it is in the demon world, no matter what time it is, there will always be many little demons around the fox king. As long as he hears a little wind, he will run away, so I didn't even go head-to-head with him for years. It's only here that he could be alone."

After another long silence, Du Yue asked, "Are you angry? Why? Because I entered this palace without authorization?"

Mu Yuan looked worried: "You acted without saying a word. What if you encounter danger? You don't tell me anything... If something happens, I don't even know the time!"

"You clearly said that no one lives here, but I heard someone mentioning monsters, so I wanted to come in and take a look. Even if someone finds out, I can use illusion before they call An Tingwei to make them temporarily lose their memory .You're not angry about it. Why are you angry?"

Of course he was not because of this, but because of... what Lin Li said.

"Why do you have to come to the human world this time?" He asked hoarsely.

Without waiting for Du Yue to answer, Mu Yuan said again: "Don't use the Fox King as an excuse! If... If I don't know that you are poisonous, I will believe it!"

He was poisoned when he was younger.

In fact, Du Yue told him about this matter when he was in the rabbit demon's territory.

But at that time, Du Yue said it lightly, as if he mentioned it casually, like a joke, and didn't mention the consequences of being poisoned at all, so Mu Yuan has always thought that That was a lie that Zhong Mai used to prevaricate the children.

Actually not.

Although the second half of Zhong Lao's words are indeed nonsense, and certain things have nothing to do with poisoning, it is true that the residual poison in Du Yue's body is still unclear.

The poison is called cold marrow, and it was created by the first generation of demon masters to deal with the demon clan.A monster who has been poisoned by the poison of cold marrow will be corroded bit by bit, and it will not survive 20 years at most.

20 years sounds like a lot of time, but there is a condition for wanting to live for 20 years, that is, to stay in the demon world for the next 20 years, and never set foot in the human world.

If it enters the human world, the toxin will accelerate its spread, shortening the life span of each year to less than one month.

In order to save him, Du Yue had already come to the human world once. Fortunately, he didn't stay for long that time.But this time, Du Yue made up his mind to come here and wait for the rabbit, made up his mind to spend his life here.

Mu Yuan looked at Du Yue, and the sourness in his heart couldn't stop rising up to his throat, choking him so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a while.

Because he knew that Duyue was poisoned 15 years ago.

"I told you." Du Yue's eyes dodged a little.

"But you didn't tell me you were left with..."

Only five years left.

If you continue to stay in the human world, it will be five months.

I can't bear to hurt your life, and I don't even dare to approach you, so you ruin yourself like this?

"I..." Mu Yuan opened his head, but couldn't say anything more.

After his parents passed away, he had seen the lives and deaths of countless people, but he hadn't experienced such profound sadness for many years.Probably because he has never been treated kindly by anyone in all these years.

Because for so many years, he has never met a second Du Yue, never met a person as stupid and deceitful as Du Yue.

But this stupid and deceitful person has a number of days to live.

"I didn't want you to know, it must be Lin Li talking too much." Du Yue sighed lightly, "It has been 14 years since my father died, and I have been assassinating the Fox King since ten years ago, and I have never stopped in these ten years. But ten years have passed, no matter how I think about making myself stronger, how I train other wolf demons, I have never succeeded in these ten years."

He paused and looked deeply at Mu Yuan: "If I can't succeed in ten years, then there are only five years left, what can I do?"

"I can only gamble on this."

"If I fail this time, at least you are in the human world now, and I don't have to worry about whether someone will send you back. The demon world is too dangerous and not suitable for you."

"I once really thought that if you were pregnant and conceived my child, then I would marry you and let you be the demon queen of my wolf clan. In this way, after I die, the entire wolf clan will be yours. But You haven't. If I die, Uncle Zhong will be too old, and you will be helpless in the wolf clan. So, don't go back."

Mu Yuan opened his mouth, stared at Du Yue blankly, unable to utter a single word.

He couldn't blame Du Yue for this reason, he didn't have the qualifications.In fact, before meeting Du Yue, he, like Du Yue, was willing to sacrifice his life for revenge.

If it was at that time, he would have heard about this incident from others, and heard about Du Yue's choice, he would definitely feel that Du Yue did nothing wrong.

But now, it's different.

"You're right, I shouldn't be nosy. The affairs of the human royal family have nothing to do with us, so I'll take you out right now." Du Yue lowered his eyes and pulled Mu Yuan's hand.

"Can... there is a way to detoxify." Mu Yuan suddenly looked at Du Yue seriously, his eyes burning.

Back then, there was a demon book passed down from generation to generation in the family of the exorcising demon department, and the method of detoxifying the cold marrow was recorded in it.

And the leader of the last exorcist, the last exorcist who was beheaded in front of the city 15 years ago, was Mu Yuan's father.That demon book should also be a family heirloom belonging to Mu Yuan.

It's a pity that Mu Yuan was too young when that incident happened 15 years ago.He was only six years old at the time, and he didn't understand anything, and his father didn't even have time to teach him anything, so he lost the demon book in that chaos.

And everything recorded in the demon book, along with that chaos, has become a past that can no longer be recalled.

The author has something to say:
