Lonely tree in the north

The night sky is as cool as water, and the red shadow in the window is like fire.

The breeze was blowing, and the drizzle outside the window was slanting, and the accumulated water dripped quietly along the eaves, and ripples appeared on the ground, as if a flower was about to bloom.

Suddenly the fire in the room was turned off, and in the peaceful night, someone turned over on the bed in the inner room of the hall, staring at the rain falling outside the window, dazed.

The person sleeping inside turned over and touched the outside with his hands out of habit. Seeing that there was no one beside the bed, he frowned uncontrollably. He slowly opened his eyes in fear, and saw that the person was sitting on the edge of the bed. I don't know why.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Si Ye also sat up and asked.

The dazed man came back to his senses and turned his head to look at him with a worried look on his face, which disturbed Si Ye slightly.

Mo Xun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a naive smile: "Well, I suddenly remembered that before I was sent here by Mu Jinsu, he seemed to have poisoned me."

"Poison?" Si Ye was slightly startled, and hurriedly pulled his hand to get his pulse, but after a while, he still didn't come out with anything, and said a little anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when he poisoned you?" ? Let’s go, let’s get the imperial physician now!”

Mo Xun grabbed him anxiously, and explained: "But he said it was a new secret recipe, and he didn't know what kind of poison it was. Besides, didn't you say that you can't ask the imperial doctor? Those are all his people. Got it, so aren't you in danger?"

"I……"

"It would be great if my spell came back, so that I can ask my brother for advice, but I was thinking that when he secretly made the poison, he must have an antidote. I want to find a chance to steal the antidote."

Si Ye asked, "Then do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"

Mo Xun shook his head. It was only when he thought of the plague in Yi Fengyue that he was poisoned.

It's just that Mu Jinsu probably doesn't know his real identity, but what does it mean to send him here and ignore him?

"Mu Jinsu will come sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. It's been rumored that I've gone out of town in the past few days, so naturally he won't come so soon." Seeing what Mo Xun was thinking, Si Ye explained.

"That is to say, it was rumored that you accepted the person he sent, and... Anyway, it is to make people outside think that although you have become the prince, the eldest son is now the eldest son. They respect you, and Jin Su even more? Make Mu Jinsu think that you are actually afraid of him?" Mo Xun analyzed carefully.

Si Ye smiled indifferently, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be bothered to use this method, but his power is deeply rooted here, and his mother's clan should not be underestimated. I became the prince without a doubt because I believed in those things. Legend has it that in the current situation, I am just a pawn being used to balance the forces of various tribes in the devil world. It is not so easy to sit firmly, without Mu Jinsu and Mu Jinxi, it is gone They, and others also came out."

Yes, the road to the king must not be so easy.

Back then, it took only one month for Si Ye Dayi to kill his relatives to control the Demon Race, who knew how helpless he was at that time.

-

Two days later.

Sitting generously in the hall with the two who usually had breakfast, Si Ye had to rush all the way back from outside the hall because Si Ye was pretending to leave the Demon Realm.

"I found a doctor from outside, and Tan Ying will bring it in later, so I can show you."

Mo Xun frowned, and asked back, "Then have you read it?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Si Ye took off his robe sideways, sat down and continued eating.

"..." Mo Xun stared at him blankly, wanting to say something, but seeing that he was eating seriously, he didn't have the heart to disturb him.

At this time, the person guarding the outer hall came in hurriedly, Gongshen said softly: "Your Highness, King Ruan is here, come this way now."

Both of them paused, looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slowly raised, and laughed.

Beckoning people to go down first, Mo Xun put down his chopsticks and approached and asked, "Then should I hide? Or should I act as you said earlier?"

"Do you think it's better to eavesdrop, or just sit in front of him and listen?" Si Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.

Mo Xun thought for a while, and explained: "If you keep me, he will naturally not open up."

"Then go according to plan."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled, ready to go to bed.

When the person was brought over, the person at the door suddenly stopped Mu Jinsu at the door.

The servant standing outside lowered his head, not daring to be negligent, and even spoke with a slight tremor, "Ruan...King Ruan, His Highness is..."

"What is it? Didn't someone report it!" Mu Jinsu's face turned cold, and no one had dared to stop him at the door like this before.

The boy didn't dare to say anything, he didn't dare to provoke the people inside, and he didn't dare to provoke the people inside.

Seeing him standing obediently and not speaking, Mu Jinsu was even more annoyed. He was about to call out to the people inside when he saw the palace door opened a little.

A person walked out from inside, and he bowed slightly to make way for Mu Jinsu, "King Ruan, Your Highness let you in."

Mu Jinsu glared at him fiercely, then walked in stridingly, flicking his sleeves, with a ferocious appearance all the way, making people afraid after seeing him.
