twilight endless

Chapter 17 17. The only thing left to worry about

Rui'er never knew that His Royal Highness Jie Ling actually had such a place.Under the twilight of the luminous pearl, the cage made of unknown stone was faintly glowing dark red, smelling it carefully, there was also an indescribable smell of mutton.I don't know what kind of half-demons are locked in the cages on the left and right. Rui'er can't hear any sound from them, but can only feel the faint breath, as if it will dissipate at any time.The underground cage does not know day and night, Rui'er can only estimate from two meals a day that he has been locked here for more than two months.Isolation from the world and endless loneliness are all tolerable, but what worries Rui'er the most is that here, he can't use his demonic skills at all.Unable to whisper to everything around her, unable to listen to outside news, unable to know Zhou Ji's current situation, it was the first time for Rui'er to experience that kind of anxiety and worry that does not know the sky and the ground.

When this anxiety and worry tormented Rui'er to the point of losing his mind, and when he was about to rush out regardless, he finally saw someone coming.

It turned out to be Su Sheng and Bai Yuheng.

"Rui'er!" Bai Yuheng rushed forward a few steps, looked at Rui'er and asked anxiously, "How are you? Have you ever been tortured?"

Rui'er shook her head, but asked even more anxiously: "How is Your Highness doing now?"

"I don't know." Su Cheng said, "King Yi was imprisoned in the imperial prison, and he was not allowed to visit without purpose."

"So, when can we let him out?"

Su Cheng didn't answer, just looked at Bai Yuheng, but Bai Yuheng looked away.

"What's going on?" Rui'er sensed the ominousness, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Has the emperor already condemned His Highness?"

"No. Wei Ting and Zongzheng are still interrogating, and some people have been working hard, but..." Su Sheng sighed, and said, "The other side will not let go."

"The other side?" Rui'er asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"Some people who don't want Yang's one-party power to go to the opposition."

"But..." Rui'er is not ignorant of these filthy court strife, but he still has a little kindness left, "Should the emperor trust his son?"

Su Sheng was silent for a while, and said helplessly after a while: "I'm afraid that the emperor is the person who least wants Yang's one-party power to fall into power."

This answer was too shocking, Rui Er was stunned for a long time, and then murmured: "Why, the emperor is above ten thousand people, is he afraid of anyone who can surpass him?"

"I'm afraid." Su Cheng's tone was as cold as the wind counting nine, "Because his ascension to the throne was paved by the Yang family, and the Yang family can pave the way for him as well as for others."

The luminous pearl on the wall suddenly dimmed a lot, and the invisible aura around him disappeared. Tianwei showed a ferocious smile, and someone grabbed Rui'er's neck with his hand.Rui'er felt as if he couldn't breathe for a long time, and he didn't wake up until Bai Yuheng called his name softly. Facing Su Cheng's eyes like the cold wind, Rui'er finally felt the cold, and what he heard was The eight words that Su Cheng spit out lightly: "The Tian family is ruthless, only talking about subjects and enemies."

"Master Su Ling." Rui'er asked unusually calmly as if he had changed into a different person, "What crime does the emperor want to punish His Highness?"

"The crime of treason can range from killing the nine clans, to exile if it is mild, and it is all in the emperor's mind."

"Yeah." Rui'er nodded without any emotional fluctuations after hearing this, "No matter what, if I'm with His Highness, he won't suffer."

"Where are you going with him?" Su Sheng asked coldly.

"If he wants to live, I will accompany him in exile for thousands of miles and go to that bitter cold place together." Rui'er's expression was extremely firm, "If he can't live, let him wait for me by the Nai River Bridge. Anyway, he is gone , and I will soon meet him in the spring.”

"Rui'er..." Bai Yuheng persuaded with distress, "Why are you doing this? The master is gone, and the half-demon can change masters. The worst thing is to pretend to be the Seven Killers."

"No." Rui'er shook his head and said with a smile, "Rui'er only wants to have this one master in this life."

"You think well." Su Sheng interrupted the tragic scene between Bai Yuheng and Rui'er, and interjected without emotion, "But do you think you can make the decisions yourself?"

"Brother..." Bai Yuheng couldn't stand Su Cheng's cold blood, and secretly tugged at Su Cheng's sleeve.

Su Sheng ignored him, and continued to say coldly: "If King Yi is exiled, he is not qualified to have a half-demon follower if he is demoted to a commoner; if it is a capital crime, you will change hands. Since the founding of the Zhou You Dynasty, there has not been a half-demon martyrdom." Burial." Su Cheng took a step forward, stared into Rui'er's eyes, and said, "Master Bai Ling and I came today to take you to change hands and reincarnate."

The bottom of the prison.

Medical officer Ji Yan put his hand on Zhou Ji's wrist, frowning, and slowly withdrew his hand after a long time.

Upon seeing this, Li Ping, the emperor's servant, hurriedly asked, "Physician Ji, how is Your Highness doing?"

Ji Yan bowed to Li Ping, and said guiltily: "Ji Yan is not good at studying medicine, with all the medicines and stones, His Highness's illness has not improved at all."

"Then what should we do?" Li Ping asked anxiously, "If His Highness has something bad or wrong, how can he explain it to His Majesty?"

"It's Ji Yan's incompetence." Ji Yan bowed even lower, "Ji Yan will now plead guilty to the emperor."

"Don't blame the imperial doctor..." Zhou Ji said weakly, "This king has an old cold disease that has fallen in northern Xinjiang for three years. It will recur every winter, and I have never paid much attention to it. I just take some common medicine to dispel the cold. It will be fine in spring."

"Oh, let me put it this way, it's cold and damp in this prison, and His Highness can't stand it anymore." Li Ping hurriedly ordered the jailer to bring two more charcoal basins, and persuaded, "Your Highness, just wait for a few more days, and wait for the prison to stand up." When His Majesty loses his temper, he will let His Majesty go out."

"Thank you for your auspicious words." Zhou Ji smiled wryly, "I'm afraid Father is really annoyed this time."

"No." Li Ping persuaded with a smile, "There is no enmity between father and son in this world. Your Majesty's words are all angry words."

"Father..." Zhou Ji was suspicious, "What angry words did you say?"

"Oh, it's just angry words." Li Ping knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and laughed, "I can't count angry words."

"Let servant Li tell you." Zhou Ji said softly, "I haven't heard from my father for a long time. Even if it's angry words, it's my father's words to comfort me."

"This..." Li Ping hesitated, leaned in front of Zhou Ji, and said in a low voice, "That day Tingwei and Zongzheng came to report to His Majesty, and before he said a few words, He heard His Majesty angrily say, 'The succession of the lineage is long, and sooner or later it will be the same. His, can't wait now? Don't you think I'm too early to die?'."

The bloody cold wind in Ziwei Palace suddenly rose again, roaring into the bottom of the imperial prison.Zhou Ji only felt that it was colder than that day, so cold that his whole body was shivering slightly, he lost all five senses and six senses, and he didn't even know when Li Ping left.The charcoal cloud was dense, filling the entire cell, covering Zhou Ji, and there were no roads in the front, back, left, or right, only the remaining fireworks.There seemed to be a flash of a white dress in the fireworks, and her silver hair was light. Zhou Ji called out "Su Su" softly and stretched out his hand, but it was in vain.

His Highness World Spirit.

"Follow me!" Su Sheng grabbed Rui'er involuntarily and dragged him to Reincarnation Lake.

"I'm not going!" I don't know if it's because Su Cheng's martial arts are too powerful or because there is a natural suppression of half-demons here, but Rui'er struggled for a long time but failed to break free from Su Cheng's restraint, so he could only shout, "I don't want to change masters." ! I don't recognize it!"

"I can't tolerate whether you recognize it or not!" Su Cheng said angrily, "How dare you be picky and picky!"

"Brother!" Bai Yuheng hurriedly urged, "Let's talk about it carefully, Rui'er will understand."

"What's there to talk about?" Su Cheng stopped unexpectedly, stared at Bai Yuheng and said, "When did you hear what I told you? If you had listened to me earlier, why would you be here today?!"

"Brother..." Bai Yuheng knew he was wrong, but he really couldn't bear it, so he could only gently shake Su Cheng's sleeve as he was a child, and begged, "I was naive before, only this time, please forgive me again." Advise Rui'er, otherwise she won't be able to reincarnate like this."

Seeing this, Su Sheng let go of Rui'er with a cold snort, and walked to the side, not seeing peace of mind.

"I don't want to change master." Rui'er said hastily, "Your Highness treats me like a brother, I don't want to lose His Highness."

"But..." Bai Yuheng said sadly, "You know, when a half-demon is reincarnated, the blood contract promises the spirit, and the demon soul returns to its place, Yangshou will no longer follow human numbers. Twelve years for an ordinary person is equivalent to one day for a half-demon. For ordinary people, a half-demon is close to immortality. But if the master passes away, the blood deed will backfire, and one year for an ordinary person is equivalent to 12 years for a half-demon, and you will grow old and die soon."

"I know, I'm not afraid." Rui'er said firmly, "I just want to be with His Highness, whether it's suffering in the world or the long way to go, I just want to be with him."

"Rui'er..." Bai Yuheng saw Rui'er's determined expression, his heart ached like a knife, and he couldn't say a word.

"Do you think you are loyal by doing this?" Su Cheng couldn't stand Bai Yuheng's speechlessness, walked over to pick up Rui'er, and sneered, "He doesn't even know what he cares about the most, he really loves you for nothing!" Su Cheng couldn't help but continue to drag Rui'er away, and said to Bai Yuheng, "Stop talking nonsense with this heartless little wolf cub! The time for reincarnation is about to be missed!"

"I won't go!" Rui'er struggled, "Let me go!"

Su Cheng didn't say any more, and punched Rui'er back.Originally, he just wanted to calm him down, but Xiang Rui'er coughed up a big mouthful of blood.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Bai Yuheng was shocked, rushed up to support Rui'er, and said angrily, "Why did you hit him so hard?"

"No." Su Cheng looked at Rui'er's painful and exhausted appearance, and felt a chill rising, and there was no trace of heat in his tone, "He is backlash from a blood contract, King Yi..."

In the twelfth lunar month of the 20th year of Wuxing, Yi Wang Zhou Ji died of illness and was ordered to be imprisoned, and his wife Zhao committed suicide in love.Queen Yang was shocked and lost her mind when she heard the bad news.King Xun Zhouga broke into Ziwei Palace angrily and questioned Emperor Wu Xing, which was disrespectful.However, the emperor thought that he was young and had not committed any crimes, so he made him think about his mistakes behind closed doors.Yang Xuan dismissed the God of the World Spirit Hall and guarded the imperial mausoleum. In the dynasty, all members of the Yang family returned to their fiefs and never left their official posts.Fengchuan Wengzhu left his title, and was raised by Zhou Yu, the adoptive king of Shen.The half-demon often followed Rui'er and changed to Zhou Chu.

Ruier took Xiyuan from the wet nurse and held it carefully in her arms.The four-month-old baby still doesn't know that he has lost the love of his parents forever, and still looks at Rui'er with a pair of big black eyes.Perhaps because Ruier's water-like blue eyes surprised the little baby, Xiyuan giggled at Ruier, but Ruier looked at Xiyuan's innocent smiling face, crying uncontrollably.
