Shark Tears

Chapter 4

Updated: 2012-07-24

With the arrival of night, the moon rises slowly, and the faint halo around it makes this month a bit mysterious.The light cast coldly, and a lonely shadow was printed on the ground.

Yun Qiyu stood alone by the lakeside of Weiyang Palace, without any expression on his face, just staring into the distance in a daze.He didn't want to admit that the child had such a big influence on him.Reason told himself that this was a dangerous signal, as an emperor, he would not allow his heart to get out of control, and this person must be eliminated.But thinking that he would leave him forever, he couldn't bear it.

The man sighed helplessly, shook his head resignedly, turned and walked towards the dungeon.After all, I still can't let him go!

The dungeon was as cold as ever, and there was no sound of whipping from the secret passage.Seeing Yun Qiyu walk into the secret room, the two shadow guards and Imperial Physician Li hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." Yun Qiyu stared at the thin figure curled up in the corner, and asked, "How is he?"

"Returning to the emperor, the child's bones are too weak, and he was in a coma due to excessive bleeding after being tortured for many days. If he wants to recover, I am afraid it will take some time to rest and recuperate."

"Then his fate is saved?"

"Life is safe, but..."

"But what?" Yun Qiyu raised his eyebrows and stared at the imperial physician slantingly.

"I think it's better to let him recuperate for a few more days. After all, he is the only heir of Prince Rui. Even if he has to be punished, he will..."

"Bold! When is it your turn to tell me what to do?"

Imperial Physician Li knelt on the ground with a slam, "I don't dare, I don't dare, I shouldn't have the audacity to speculate on the holy will, please forgive me!"

"You have the right to pretend that what happened today didn't happen. If you let me know that you leaked it, be careful of your head."

"I don't dare, I will definitely serve the emperor."

Only then did Yun Qiyu turn around, and fixed his eyes on the person in the corner.His clothes were rotten into shreds, his whole body was covered with whip marks, and there was a circle of purple and black marks on his wrists, which seemed to be the marks of being strangled after being hung up for too long. Wrap it up.The face rests on the side of the leg.His face was flushed with fever, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he seemed so disturbed even in a coma.The lips were pale, without a trace of blood, and the lower lip seemed to be bitten off, and there was a ring of teeth marks.Yun Qiyu stretched out his hand to touch Yun Hanxi's hair, gently with a touch of pity.

Yun Qiyu felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and his desire for revenge was shaken.After all, he is just a child, and it seems too cruel to put all the grievances and grievances of the year on a child.But in those years, the love that would rather abandon the throne and join hands with her to the end of the world was trampled by that woman in vain?No!no!If he wants to blame, he can only blame God, this is his fate!Since it is her child, he must bear everything she owes.

Yun Qiyu withdrew his hand and stood up.There was no warmth in the eyes just now, but they were filled with anger and hatred and walked away.

At this time, Yun Hanxi moved his body, tried his best to support himself, opened his heavy eyelids, looked up, but only saw a vague figure from the back.He shook his head, struggling to make out the figure from behind - it turned out to be really him.Unknowingly, he looked at that figure and smiled foolishly.

Yun Qiyu seemed to have noticed someone's gaze, and when he glanced back, he saw that weak but sweet smile again.

The cold moonlight shone in front of the dungeon door, stingy not to let a gleam of light into the world inside the door.Yun Qiyu stared blankly at the moon.At this time, the temperature of this deserted month could not calm the frenzy in his heart.Why?Why can that child have such a big influence on me?

For the first time, this all-powerful emperor felt confused and overwhelmed, even when he was killing his relatives, he had nothing to do with such emotions.

The next day, the people in the court were still arguing over how to deal with Diya's garrison returning to Yanguan.

"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks this battle is impossible..."

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good opportunity to boost the morale of the army, for the future..."

"Master Wang, if you follow your words, we will not be able to protect our Cangyun foundation!"

"My lord Li, if this kind of sticky pillar is used to vibrate, it will only endanger the foundation of Cangyun! Your Majesty, this battle must be fought!"

"emperor……"

"Hmph! Shut up all of you!" Yun Qiyu sat on the throne and raised his eyebrows, looking at the disputing crowd: "This battle hasn't started yet, but you guys started it first! Hmph! What a plan? It's really good!" Yun Qiyu was a little annoyed, could it be that the Cangyun Empire raised this bunch of idiots?I made up my mind to rectify it, and said with a sneer, "Is there really no one who can come up with a decent plan?"

Su Feng, who is known as the invincible general Cangyun, said: "Your Majesty, I think that Shanhai Town has a long and narrow terrain, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We only need to send heavy troops to guard the gate."

"Hehe, it's easy for General Su to say. It's certainly a good strategy to defend with heavy troops, but if you don't lure the enemy to go deep, taking advantage of the narrow and long terrain of Shanhai Town, if the enemy uses fire to attack, wouldn't you be defeated without a fight?"

Everyone in civil and military circles in the court knew that Master Shangshu Shen Qi and the invincible general Su Feng had never been at odds with each other, and now the two were arguing again, and they didn't make a sound to stop it.If you offend the emperor, you can't afford to walk around, and neither of those two is good, and if you offend, you will naturally hit the iron plate.

Yun Qiyu has always admired Su Feng's bravery.I want to be Su Feng, who was sixteen in his early years, went out with the late emperor, was surrounded by the enemy but remained unruffled, led the soldiers to fight a bloody road, and saved the late emperor from danger.And although Shen Qi is a scholar, he doesn't have the pedantry of those guys at all, instead he doesn't stick to trivial matters, and he does things boldly.And these two people don't know why they have always been at odds, they always blush when they meet, but they don't fight like other ministers, just bickering is harmless, so let them go.

"Then do the other ministers have any objections?" Yun Qiyu was furious when he saw the submissive expressions of those ministers. These old fellows were vying for power and would not give in to anyone, and when it came to a critical moment, they would say no Started to speak, "In this case, everyone will deduct their salary for one month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Su Feng, Shen Qi is here with me, and everyone else will go back and contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors!"

Yun Qiyu led Su Feng and Shen Qi to the study room, and as soon as they sat down, they saw the two winking at the bottom, coughing unnaturally, the two finally recovered and looked at the emperor in a proper manner.

"What do you two think about this battle?"

"Returning to the emperor, I was just thinking that Shen Shangshu's words are indeed reasonable, but how should I ambush after luring the enemy deep? I went back last night to study the terrain of Shanhai Town. If I want to deploy an formation, I am afraid that the gains will be quite small. Shen Shangshu has always been resourceful. , I don’t know if you have a good opinion?”

Here it comes again, Yun Qiyu thought to himself, raised his eyes to look at Shen Qi who was staring at the side.

"Returning to the emperor, just now I saw that the emperor only asked the opinions of the ministers, but did not express his intention to adopt it, nor did he dispatch troops, so I boldly guess that you have made up your mind, your majesty." The fool who came here naturally wanted to leave this drudgery to us.Of course, Shen Qi did not dare to say the last half of the sentence.

"That's right, those people in the frontier are used to wild things. I really don't trust them too much. You two are my right-hand men. Naturally, you are reliable. I named Su Feng as the Great General of the State of Defense, and Shen Qi as the Supervising Army. I sent you two Take my secret decree to Shanhai Town and leave immediately. Do you two have any objections?"

"Eh? Report to the emperor, just the two of us going out? Without a soldier?" Su Feng asked in surprise.

"Take my secret decree and open it when you reach Shanhai Town. Then you two will know what to do." Yun Qiyu pressed the corners of his eyebrows. He had been thinking about Yun Hanxi last night, but he had no sleep all night. I'm a little tired now. "But there is still something unknown?"

"Your Majesty, this road is bound to be tiring, and the border wars are naturally quite hard, but this humble minister is from a scholarly background. This road is probably..." Those who can bargain with today's sages can't find the second best when they come out. people.

Su Feng looked at his companion who was not afraid of death, and unconsciously clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead twitched a few times.

"That's enough, that's enough, let's get to the point!" Yun Qiyu looked at the rascal Shangshu in front of him with some headaches.

Shen Qi didn't seem to realize how much he had sinned: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's a great disrespect to my parents if I lose weight from hunger, but to eat well, I must spend money. And the humble official is not a corrupt official, and only lives on a meager salary, but just now the emperor deducted this month's salary for the humble minister. "

Clenching his fists this time, Su Feng was not the only one with throbbing veins on his forehead.

"Could it be that the Shen family is too poor to support an idler now? Do you want me to order Lord Su's father to come and receive the reward in person?" When Shen Qi took office, his father made an apology, fearing that he would offend him. , He also explained that the boy who is not afraid of the day and the earth is only afraid of his father.

"Hehe, hehe..." Shen Qi laughed dryly twice, wondering how the emperor knew that his father was his weakness, but he didn't dare to ask the emperor: "How dare a humble minister bother the emperor with such a trivial matter."

Su Feng on the side looked at Shen Qi strangely, and asked aloud after leaving the study: "I really can't see it! It turns out that Lord Su is so afraid of father."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Qi was mentioned, he became furious, and said inarticulately: "Who, who is afraid! Who is afraid! I am respecting, do you understand? I don't want to care about you, a vulgar person." slip away.Su Feng was left behind with a wicked smile on his face.

After the two left, Yun Qiyu began to review the memorials again.In the middle of the night, he finally stopped writing to take a rest, but that thin figure appeared in front of his eyes again. Yun Qiyu leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes, and sighed vaguely.

It was night, and Yun Qiyu was lying in bed alone, unable to sleep.

I haven't seen him today, so I don't know how he is.Suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart, when did I care about a person so much, not to mention that he was still the person I hated.A soft heart has never been an emotion that an emperor should have.Forcibly suppressing the urge to see the child, he forced himself to sleep.

But who knew that there was more than one person who was sleepless that night.

In the dark and dark dungeon secret room, Yun Hanxi curled up on the pile of dry straw in the corner.But it's only been a month, and she's even thinner than when she was in Prince Ruiqin's mansion.The cheeks were deeply sunken, the lips were cracked, and there was a circle of deep tooth marks, which were the marks left by biting the lower lip tightly when the pain was unbearable.

A pair of eyes are extraordinarily bright at night, but with a look of pain.Even though the imperial doctor fed medicine during the day, the burn was not so uncomfortable, but the wounds all over his body were still burning with pain.Steel needles were stuck in the fingers of both hands, and they were bandaged with medicine today, but the pain was still excruciating.

The pain tormented every nerve in Yun Hanxi, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and unable to sleep.

I suddenly remembered that figure from the back in the daytime, it seemed that it was the only sweetness in this pain, and unconsciously there was a faint smile on the corner of my mouth.

I felt a familiar feeling that I had never felt before on that person, and I couldn't help but want to get close to him. Even though that person was a high-ranking emperor, even though that person killed all his family members, he still felt kind.Yun Hanxi moved his hands with difficulty, and pressed tightly against the longevity lock hidden in his bosom, feeling a satisfaction he had never had before.
