That night, Huo Shiyi suffered from a nightmare he had never experienced before. In the dream, Zhou Shengchen was undergoing the horrific torture of bone removal, and the knife was gouged out of his body, just like it was gouged out of her heart.

She was in so much pain that she was dripping with cold sweat.She just watched like this, watching him being deboned, and his body was shattered little by little in front of her.

She screamed, but couldn't make any sound. She ran to him desperately, but couldn't move.

Her sight turned blood red, and her heart was broken into pieces. He is King Xiao Nanchen, he is the belief of the people, he is the battle flag of the soldiers, but why did it end up like this.

Just because, is he the belief of the people?

Just because, is he the battle flag of the soldiers?

Zhou Shengchen, you who gritted your teeth and closed your eyes, what are you thinking at this moment, you are here, do you regret it?

Her heart seemed to be torn apart by something, and she twitched non-stop in pain. Her fingers were convulsed by the pain, and they were twisted tightly together, as if she wanted to grab something, but couldn't.

Losing her mind, she seemed to hear the anxious call of the servant girl.

Then, there was heat in her throat, and it seemed that a warm current rushed out of her throat uncontrollably and escaped from the corner of her mouth. Her heart was empty, and she couldn't hear anything.

When he woke up, Hui Shiyi felt groggy, with heavy eyelids, tried to open his eyes, but found himself in a strange place.

"The girl is awake."

She followed the maidservant's voice, but saw a few strange faces.

"Who are you and where am I?" She opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, as if she had been crying heart-piercingly all night.

Thinking of that dream, Ji Shiyi's heart began to twitch again. Such an ominous dream, yet so real, made her flustered.

"Girl, this is the East Palace."

"Why am I in the East Palace, where is Xiaoshu? What happened?" Min Shiyi continued to ask, but the maid just lowered her head and did not answer.

Huo Shiyi soon discovered that she was under house arrest, she couldn't get out of the Luanning Hall, she couldn't contact anyone outside, and she couldn't know the news outside.In this way, she became more and more restless and anxious, and the dream of that night appeared in front of her every day, making her extremely tormented.

Until the third day, Liu Zixing appeared.

The first thing he said was, "Shi Yi, I'm sorry, I can't make you queen."

Huo Shiyi was startled, barely able to understand the meaning of his words.Her disbelief fell into Liu Zixing's eyes, but he thought she was disappointed in him, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "But you believe in me, in my heart, only you are worthy of this post."

Ji Shiyi slowly withdrew her hand and digested the news with great difficulty. There were bursts of darkness in front of her eyes, and it seemed that the world was spinning at the moment. She forced herself to calm down, "Where is the emperor?"

"The first emperor, you're dead." Liu Zixing looked at his empty palm, and firmly held Ji Shiyi's hand again.

"Where's my master?" Ji Shiyi looked at Liu Zixing, his eyes seemed to probe into Liu Zixing's face.

Liu Zixing looked at Shiyi without hesitation, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said word by word, "Shiyi, you should call him Uncle Huang."

Ji Shiyi remained silent, his eyes fixed on Liu Zixing.

"Shi Yi," Liu Zixing patted the back of Shi Yi's hand lightly, "I heard that you haven't slept well these past few days, so I'll ask someone to bring you some soothing decoction, and you should rest well, after I'm busy with the enthronement ceremony Come to accompany you well, okay?"

"Where's my master?" Ji Shiyi still looked at Liu Zixing.

"Shi Yi, do you know what kind of dangers I have experienced during these days when I left? Did you care about every word of my life when I came back after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers? Why don't you ask the late emperor, the emperor's uncle, and me?" Liu Zixing slowly tightened his grip on Ji Shiyi's hand, which turned white.

"Where is my master?" Ji Shiyi's back felt cold, her hands and feet were cold, the torment and pain became more and more intense, and the dream in her mind became more and more clear. She can't care about anything now, she just wants to know that Zhou Shengchen is here Where, where is he, is he okay, is he alive.

"In your heart, there is only your master!" Liu Zixing finally couldn't suppress his anger, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and shook off Ke Shiyi's hand.

"You know that I am for you, I am for you, I have worked so hard, just to hold your hand, stand in the most honorable place under the world, and give you the unparalleled honor and favor in this world! I entered the palace since I was a child, It's like walking on thin ice, planning every step of the way, scheming everywhere, surviving in this palace, living until now, fighting until now, just to let you stand by my side and become the most honorable woman in the world. I'm sorry, but what about you? Shiyi, have you looked at me carefully!" Liu Zixing growled in a low voice.

Ji Shiyi looked at him, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes, she stood upright in front of Liu Zixing, and slowly knelt, "Your Majesty, please tell Shiyi, where is Emperor Xiao Nanchen Wang Zhoushengchen?"

"You..." Liu Zixing covered his heart and coughed violently. The servant hurried forward to support him. Liu Zixing pointed at Shiyi with disordered breath, "You are for him...you are for him..."

"Please tell your majesty." Ji Shiyi burst into tears.

Liu Zixing raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, walked slowly in front of Ji Shiyi, squatted down, looked into Ji Shiyi's eyes, "Okay, let me tell you, there is no Zhou's birthday in this world anymore, Xiao Nanchen Wang's rebellion has already happened." You were killed in Pingyin. And you, Ji Shiyi, you and your Ji clan, the only person you can rely on in the future is me."

Min Shiyi's tense body collapsed limply when he heard the phrase that there is no birthday in the world anymore. A trace of pity flashed across Liu Zixing's eyes, and he immediately got up to leave, took a step and then stopped, turning his face slightly Come, "Timely, next month is your canonization ceremony for your noble concubine. I will try my best to confer you with the gift of a queen. At that time, all the famous clans will watch the ceremony in front of the city gate, and your family will also be there. I know that although you value love, you know righteousness even more, I hope you can figure out what happened to Zhou Shengchen, so don't be too sad and hurt your body."

After that, he went out.

Walking out of the Luanning Hall, Liu Zixing stopped, turned around and stared at the closed gate of the Luanning Hall, and did not move for a long time.

"Your Majesty, there is another person from Mi Sanniang's side, and they want to see your concubine." The servant said in a low voice.

"Let's just say that the canonization ceremony is coming soon, so it's inconvenient to see it, and we'll talk about it after the ceremony is completed." Liu Zixing said.

"But Your Majesty, there are several clans that look up to their Mistress's leader. Your Majesty is in the midst of employing people. I'm afraid..." The servant was a little worried.

"She threatened me with her clan. Couldn't I use her daughter to threaten her? It's just constraints inside and out. The canonization ceremony is just around the corner. If she sees the right time, I'm afraid there will be many side issues."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

That night, the ever-burning lamps of the Luanning Hall were not lit, but only a small cluster of fires, which were slightly lit.

Ji Shiyi drove out all the maids and locked himself in the hall alone.

The tears seemed to have dried up, and when she wanted to cry, there was only a burning tingling sensation in her eyes.Ji Shiyi guarded the brazier, flipping through the rolls of good news she had collected at hand, reading them word by word, and burning a roll every time he finished reading a roll, sometimes his empty eyes would be dazed, and he would accidentally be caught by the flames. After burning my skin, I came back to my senses, continued to open the next volume, and read again.

It turned out that the dream was actually true.

It turned out that the blood was actually real.

It turned out that the pain was actually real.

Zhou Shengchen, you have no wife and no children all your life, why?

Staying far away from your homeland and stationed at the frontier fortress, after going there for 20 years, you swore to have no wife and no children, but you couldn’t let the courtiers let go of their suspicions. You have suffered all your life, for what?

The first hero, with strong bones, ended up like this, why?

puff--

A mouthful of blood splashed on the edge of the brazier...
