Chapter 478: Nightmare
Shen Huayu was at a loss to see the young man who slowly stood up after Zhao Song left, the admiration he had just established was completely dispelled by Chu Xianzhao's kneeling, and even this kneeling directly changed the three views of this young lady, until now she still can't believe that this prince of the Yin Kingdom knelt down to a rich kid from Guhe City, wouldn't he feel ashamed or indignant? If he was as powerful as him, he would have chopped Zhao Song's bastard to death with a sword.
If this matter reached his father's ears, let him know how he would look at her in the future if he caused Chu to kneel because of his will.
Zhao Song, the bastard, just promised not to tell Chu Xuanzhao's identity, and Shen Huayu was sure that this matter would inevitably spread throughout the entire Guhe City at the speed of a blazing prairie fire, and so many lives had been killed, so he was afraid that his father's reputation in Guhe City over the years would be completely damaged.
Chu Xuanzhao returned the sword to Shen Huayu without saying a word and turned to leave, Shen Huayu found that his back was no longer as tall as he saw before, but a little rickety, as if he was carrying a weight.
The more Shen Huayu looked at it, the more bitter she felt, wiped away the tears on her face fiercely, and chased after her.
Until they returned to the Shen family's mansion, neither of them said a word along the way.
At this time, the sun was already setting, Shen Taisui and Ying Liyang were nowhere to be found, Chu Xianzhao seemed to be very hungry, and he had eaten a lot of things.
The flowing maids brought down the dinner plate like a flowing stream, Chu instantly summoned and devoured it, and Shen Huayu knelt in front of him without saying a word, like a child who had done something wrong.
Shen Huayu watched Chu Xianzhao eat non-stop, and there was a fire in his heart, not only for Zhao Song, but also for himself, but also for Chu Zhaozhao.
How she hoped that Chu Xianzhao could scold herself with a black face, even if it was a slap in the face, at least it would make her feel better, but Chu Xianzhao was at least eating, and he kept eating, as if he would never be able to eat enough.
It wasn't until he put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Your food here in the Southern Continent is really exquisite, unlike our side in the Northern Regions, no matter whether it is a big banquet or a small banquet, you always have to put a plate of mutton stewed vermicelli, I haven't eaten so full for a long time." ”
Shen Huayu got angry for some reason after hearing this, and kicked Chu Xianzhao's knee, and said with red and swollen eyes and crying: "You are really useless, I would rather die than kneel for Zhao Song's bastard." ”
Chu Xianzhao smiled gently: "I'm useless, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the current situation, I don't want to lose the only foothold I currently have because of a little thing involving dignity, that kneeling is for the safety of me and Liyang, you don't have to feel guilty." ”
"It's okay to kneel to the sky and kneel to your parents, how can you just kneel to someone like Zhao Song, you have a sick brain?
Chu Xianzhao seemed to think of something, and his smile became more and more uneasy and said: "You are your father's daughter, even if the sky falls, he will carry it for you, but Zhao Song said that my head is worth a million taels of silver, I don't know much about Shen Taisui now, so I don't dare to bet on your father's conscience casually, I am afraid that the matter will make a big fuss, he will give me and Liyang to Emperor Daqing, where will I cry when the time comes? If I die under the butcher's knife of Emperor Daqing, I wonder if Miss Shen will shed a few tears of condolences for me?"
Shen Huayu just bit her lip and slowly choked up, her eyes were red.
Chu Xianzhao licked his lips, hesitated for a moment and reached out to wipe away the tears on Shen Huayu's face, the movement was so gentle that it was like a leaf brushing her cheek, and the tears were wiped away by him.
Chu Xianzhao said softly: "If it was me a year ago, I would have killed someone like Zhao Song a long time ago." But Zhao Song is the illegitimate son of King Langya, I am afraid that killing him will affect the whole body and alarm the entire Zhao royal family, and the person who will be beheaded at that time is not only me, but even your father. I don't think you won't understand the truth that if you can't bear it, you won't understand. ”
Shen Huayu nodded lightly, sobbed and hummed softly.
Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the northwest, and said with empty eyes: "But I advise you, don't think about what kind of thing you do, there are elders standing behind you to wipe your ** , As I told you, people who are too easy to rely on are also too easy to rely on, don't think that your parents can carry you on their backs for a lifetime, because they will always fall, or they no longer need you, and then you may not even be able to climb, I owe your father a lot of favors, I don't owe you anything, I won't care about your nosy business in the future, so I can do it myself, Miss Shen. ”
Shen Huayu looked at Chu Xianzhao's side face stupidly, her pupils were clean, but she was full of tears.
Chu Xianzhao was most afraid of hearing the woman's choking voice and eyes containing tears, and said helplessly: "You don't want me to kneel, I'm already kneeling, don't you come back well, what do you want me to do?"
Shen Huayu didn't speak anymore, just choked up and cried.
Chu Xianzhao exhaled softly, thinking that this girl should be a little younger than himself, Shen Taisui said that she should be the one who wanted to marry his little daughter, but fortunately he didn't agree to him.
Will she be afraid and helpless if she marries someone she doesn't love at all, and will she spend half of her life arguing and half of her time separating?
I have already harmed a Ye Weiwei, and I don't want to harm another innocent woman.
You can't just watch girls cry and don't do anything, right?
Chu Xianzhao walked to her side and slowly squatted down, only then did he see her crying face when she lowered her head.
Shen Huayu wiped her tearful face, looked at Chu Xianzhao's face, and muttered, "If only I were half as good-looking as you." ”
Chu Xianzhao was amused and said
"I'm not half as cute as you." ”
Shen Huayu suddenly burst into laughter, and the little tiger tooth was like icing on the cake.
——
Chu Xiaohua dreamed that he became the emperor of the world, overlooking everyone in the world.
The heads of the kings of the world were neatly placed in front of his eyes, and the courtiers under his eyes knelt at his feet in brightly colored court clothes, and the iron cavalrymen of the Yin Kingdom with iron armor masks knelt down on one knee, put their spears at their feet, and watched this scene with a smile on their faces, accepting the praise and singing of the courtiers one by one.
A black cat came out of nowhere, crossed the pile of dead people and came to his feet, the officials pointed at the cat and laughed, and some people even wanted to get rid of the cat that broke into the hall, Chu Xiaohua suddenly found that the cat's eyes were purple, just like Xiao Zhao's eyes.
Someone raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and shot at the cat, Chu Xiaohua looked at it with some trepidation, watching the feather arrow nail it to the ground.
The black cat wailed, and blood flowed down its belly to the ground, and the black cat turned its head to bite off the shaft of the arrow and leave, but more feathered arrows came at it, nailing its hands and feet.
The more it struggled, the more blood flowed from its body, and the feather arrow tore open its back, revealing flesh and spine, until the entire back became bloody, and blood flowed to Emperor Yin's feet.
The black cat died, staring at itself with purple eyes.
Chu Xiaohua squatted down tremblingly, and suddenly found that the brightly lit hall was dimmed, the sound of the silk-footed orchestra no longer appeared, and the laughter of everyone slowly stopped, and then there was an eerie tranquility.
At this moment, he looked up sharply and found that all the officials of the court had turned into skeletons in court clothes.
The king's heads, which were stacked in front of him, suddenly widened their eyes, and maggots came out of their eye sockets, and mocking laughter came out of their mouths, the loudest of which was the head of King Silin.
The iron-clad soldiers had blue flames in their eyes, and they picked up their spears and pointed to their standings.
Emperor Yin looked at his subordinates in horror, and subconsciously took a step back, only to find that the blood under his feet stuck to his feet, and it was difficult to move an inch.
Other people appeared in the hall one after another, some people who had long died in his memory, the former Zhenguo General Hua Mingge, as well as Hua Youyue and Hua Youying, including his brother Chu Zheng, who had been killed by his own hands, they were all looking at him.
King Xilin's head was still laughing, Queen Xilin limped past in front of her, and Guo Yu, who had a huge scar on his stomach, and his internal organs flowed out of it, pointing at himself and laughing.
Chu Xiaohua's eyes were black and he almost fainted, and when he regained his vision again, the terrible scene had disappeared, and he saw Bai Su, who always liked to wear white dresses, was gentle and considerate, and gave birth to two children for him
Personal maid. Chu Xun and Chu Yingyang were standing beside her, and then Tantai Ningsu, her lower body turned into a huge snake tail, slowly moving in the blood-covered hall, and two lines of blood and tears slid down her face.
The scene in front of him made Chu Xiaohua only feel that ten thousand arrows pierced his body and gall, and then he saw a woman wearing a clover silver earring, a woman he didn't want to see the most, standing at the entrance of the gate and looking at him, the sadness in his eyes was like a thousand-foot ice spring.
"You killed our son, my darling, my little summon......"
Princess Lou Huan said such a sentence, the towering carved gold gate was suddenly knocked open, the blazing fire wind poured into the main hall, countless flying dragons swallowed dragon flames in the sky above Lin'an City, the high attic platform collapsed under the dragon flame, and the whole city was burning.
Chu Xuanzhao, who was wearing the Great Qin Dragon robe, stepped in from the gate, his eyes were like torches, and he was covered in blood.
Chu instantly summoned a sword to kill Princess Lou Huan, and in his own screams, he pressed forward step by step, and said in an extremely cold and condensed tone: "Father, you deserve to die." ”
Emperor Yin woke up from his dream screaming, and woke up the beautiful woman beside him.
The woman's hand climbed up to his **'s chest, and her chest pressed tightly against his arm, trying to comfort His Majesty the Emperor who had woken up from a nightmare.
The bedding on the two of them was messy, and it was still late at night, and there was silence all around.
Since Chu Xianzhao left the Yin Kingdom, Emperor Yin, who rarely spoils women, has been spoiling women very much recently, making the eunuchs in the palace happy for a while, and trying his best to search for all kinds of women outside the palace for Emperor Yin, people always heal their scars and forget the pain, maybe they have forgotten the terrible incident that happened in Lin'an City three months ago, and no one can tell the people what happened on the day of the prince's wedding? Where did the giant beast that suddenly appeared in the sky over Lin'an City come from? After that, why did the great priest Guo Yu become the scapegoat of this disaster for no reason and died under the butcher's knife of Emperor Yin.
Whether they forget it or not, they can't deny that a son, a general, a priest, thousands of royal forest soldiers and innocent people of Lin'an City died that day.
Maybe it's because there are so many people who have died, and there have been a lot of new faces in the palace recently, and they don't know what happened in this cold palace.
Because of Emperor Yin's recent abolition and seclusion, some rumors slowly spread from one person's mouth to another's ears.
Yinguang has always been a bad woman, and the word "extravagance" can't involve him in any case, since Queen Bai Su and Princess Lou Huan died, there are not many women he has spoiled over the years, but there are always only three heirs.
According to reason, the future emperor of Yinguo must have come out of these three, and Emperor Yinhuang has always favored the third prince Chu Xianzhao, and this youngest son also fought to destroy the Yanmang Dynasty, which made everyone firmly believe that he would be the king of Yinguo in the future, and said no
He will definitely be a better king than Emperor Yin.
Until he disappeared now, some people say that he is dead, some people say that he left the Yin Kingdom, the fact is that he is indeed not in Lin'an City, but he is still in the hearts of some people.
Not only the prince, but even the princess disappeared inexplicably, after this incident, Emperor Yin neither announced the death of the prince to the entire dynasty, nor did he send someone to find the whereabouts of the princess, but the concubine selection that the Great Yin Dynasty had never had since he ascended the throne has now unfolded vigorously.
No one knows why, at such a time when people are panicking, Emperor Yin suddenly wants to choose a concubine to enter the palace, and maybe he will be a queen. Could it be that the disappearance of the prince made this middle-aged king fearful, for fear that the royal blood would be cut off, and he wanted to have a few more heirs to enrich the Chu royal family?
Speculation is speculation, now the various states and counties of the Yin Kingdom have received the codex of Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, and the concubine selection activities in the palace are ready to be carried out at any time, which is a golden opportunity for the princes and nobles of the Yin Kingdom, everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to send their daughters or granddaughters into the palace, so the Great Yin Palace, which has been calm for a long time, has come to a group of young and graceful young women.
They don't know what happened in this palace, how much blood was shed, how many people died, but they just hoped that this could be taken by His Majesty the Emperor at a glance, and finally they could climb onto the dragon bed and give birth to the prince, so that the fathers behind them might laugh at the back of their mouths, and no one dared to despise them in the entire Dayin Dynasty from now on.
The woman's silver bell-like laughter permeated the palace, and entered the ears of some people, making everyone look at the emperor's bedroom with puzzled eyes, and now His Royal Highness the prince has disappeared in the palace, the eldest prince is not suitable to be the emperor of Yinguo, although the second princess has the talent to govern the country, but she is always a woman, for such a behemoth as the royal family, the role of women's inheritance is the first and foremost, and the second thing is not important at all, so His Majesty the Emperor wants to choose a concubine, and he wants to have a few more heirs for the royal family, preferably a boy.
Emperor Yin gasped in the darkness, and he seemed to hear the voice of a cat, and beyond that, the gasp of the young woman.
What kind of nightmare did he have just now, but now he can't remember it, the female official next to him is so beautiful that she can be called a stunner, maybe she should have been his concubine, after he killed Chu Zheng many years ago, he took not only a throne from him, but also his harem of three thousand.
Out of some uncomfortable feeling, he never touched the women in the harem, and after Bai Su and Lou Huan passed away, he disbanded the harem and let the women in it hold positions in the palace, such as the current Li Shanggong.
Before being taken off her clothes by Emperor Yin, she was just an unknown woman in the palace, looking at the towering palace walls all her life, like a caged finch who couldn't ask for it.
But it is undeniable that as a caged finch longing for freedom, she is willing to be touched by her owner once
Staying in the cage willingly, sleeping with His Majesty the Emperor's arms bent to sleep, is really a different taste than a long night of solitude.
She looked at Emperor Yin, who was trembling in the dark, knowing that the other party must have had a terrible nightmare, looking at his slightly sunken eyes, she only felt that she wanted to stabilize him with her heart, and everything was good, as long as she could make him happy around her.
"Your Majesty...... Shall I bring you a glass of water? You look like you're having nightmares. ”
I don't want water, I want blood, I want the blood of my enemies, and Emperor Yin's legs are weak, as if he sees an unknowable future.
"Your Majesty......" Li Shanggong called sleepily, kissing his chest.
Emperor Yin found that the ** in his heart was provoked by her, and suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed her down under him, leaving bruises and bite marks on her body with unprecedented rage, listening to her screaming, and even crying, he didn't care.
When he was done, he got up and dressed himself, and paid no more attention to the poor woman on the bed, who was dying.
Emperor Yinhuang got dressed and looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, and murmured: "It's just a dream, it's just a dream......"
But he still couldn't sleep, and Emperor Yin left the palace and walked alone through the long gates.
The cold night wind filtered through the leaves and blew his robe, and he climbed a high pavilion and looked at the dark city of Lin'an, where the rising sun soon gilded the city with golden edges, but now it was pitch black, as if the night was long, and it was sinister everywhere.
All this should have been yours, Emperor Yin thought to himself, this city has all the Chu royal family, the people of the Chu royal family, the army of the Chu royal family, and even the gods in the sky over this land are ours, this country has everything you want, any of your ** can be satisfied, you are the descendant of the Chu royal family, you were born to take over the battle flag held by your father, but you fought bravely for a dynasty that died for thousands of years, and betrayed your father for a woman.
On the eaves of the Jinluan Palace, the Vermilion Bird Eaves Beast stared at him silently, reminding him of the heads he had stuck in the barrel of his gun.
Emperor Yin quietly looked at the eaves beasts, the cold wind blew through his imperial robe, he suddenly remembered the rebellious period, he didn't expect it to appear on his own children, seventeen or eighteen-year-old children are such fools, someone told them that there is a beautiful princess who was captured by the dragon and brought to the ends of the earth, and when they need their help, they will take the ancestral sword and go like this regardless of the things before and after their deaths, and never come back.
But he forgot that many years ago even he himself was such a fool.
