Chapter Ninety-Eight: Slap!

"Hehe, I'm scared, don't worry, the deity won't disappear, and the deity won't leave before the impact on the Demon Immortal Tribulation. Jin Ling stared at Li Yiqi with a smile and spoke.

"Heh, you're using me. Li Yiqi shook his head helplessly.

"What kind of use? You kid, you have too many eyes, right?!" Jin Ling heard this, as if she had exploded.

"I'm just cautious. Li Yiqi shrugged.

"Yes, the demon soul of the deity absorbs your power in your life palace and grows stronger step by step, but you can also use the ability of the deity, what do you have to complain about!" Jin Ling said angrily.

Hearing this, Li Yiqi's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth gently provoked a smile.

There is no free lunch in the world, if you want to get something in return, you must pay something, and he naturally has no objection to Jin Ling's words.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the next person's 'knock-dong-', Jin Ling glanced at it, and instantly turned into a ray of light and returned to Li Yiqi's body.

"I'm supposed to be here to deliver food. Li Yiqi's heart moved, and he shouted outside: "Come in." ”

"Yes. ”

There was an answer outside, and soon, the subordinates of the East Palace walked into the room with four dishes and one soup.

"Let's all go down. ”

After drinking, Li Yiqi sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks with a porcelain bowl, and ate it in a big gulp. After tossing all night, and not eating for half a day, he was really hungry.

While eating, Li Yiqi thought of something, and suddenly thought of something, and an idea came into the palace again: "Jin Ling, I need your help." ”

"What else?" Jin Ling's puffing voice came.

"Very important thing. Li Yiqi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said worriedly: "With your ability, can you help me cover up the aura of a martial artist on my body?"

"No, you can't. Jin Ling coldly refused.

"I'll give you another piece of Xuanyang jade. Li Yiqi smiled slightly.

"What? It is your duty to offer food to the deity! Do you dare to substitute conditions with the deity?" Jin Ling said angrily.

"Yes, yes, Lord Holy Spirit, the junior is willing to worship your old piece of Xuanyang Jade, and please help me cover up the aura of martial arts on my body, so that no one can see it. Li Yiqi said with a wry smile.

"No, I don't. Jin Ling said stubbornly.

"Two pieces!" Li Yiqi held out two fingers.

"Don't do it, don't do it!" Jin Ling still refused, but her tone was obviously shaken.

"Three pieces!" Li Yiqi continued to bid, a posture that did not reach the goal.

“......”

In the palace of life, Jin Ling's voice fell silent, and after a long time, she heard the little girl lightly open her lips and said leisurely: "This is simple, the deity can temporarily cut off the connection between your life palace and the deity demon soul, so that you will be the same as ordinary people, and you will not be discovered by others for martial arts cultivation." ”

"Is there a way to hide your breath without giving up your strength. Li Yiqi's dark eyes flashed with essence, and he asked urgently.

"No!" Jin Ling yelled at the top of her voice.

What kind of person is this, it's so hard to serve.

"No, no, you can help me cover my breath now, and I'll let you know when I need to use force. Li Yiqi smiled helplessly, he also knew that it was impossible to only cover up his breath but retain his strength.

"Hmph - remember the food of the deity, one less deity wants you to look good!"

When Jin Ling's voice fell, Li Yiqi immediately felt that the vitality energy between heaven and earth instantly lost contact with him!

The familiar physical state came back again, Li Yiqi smiled slightly, put on a brand-new white Confucian robe, and walked towards the prince's bedroom.

"Li Yiqi, you're here. ”

The familiar voice of the crown prince Xia Qing came into his ears, Li Yiqi bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "See Your Highness." ”

"No courtesy. ”

Xia Qing turned around, her little face was pale, her eyes were gloomy, and her handsome face was full of decadence.

Seeing this, Li Yiqi's face changed slightly, but he hadn't seen him for a day, he felt that Xia Qing's whole person seemed to be haggard, and he couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Your Highness, are you in good health?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Qing looked at Li Yiqi with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a wry smile: "This palace is fine, but I just feel ...... As the crown prince, what Bengu did was too much of a failure. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing that the crown prince actually said such words that were similar to waking up, Li Yiqi's heart moved, his eyes wandered, he glanced at Xia Qing deeply, and asked with a smile: "Why did Your Highness say this?"

"Imogu has carefully considered what you said to Motogu before. ”

Xia Qing smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "This palace is indeed a willful and reckless prince, last night this palace took a hundred guards from the East Palace to catch demon beasts, and as a result, all the hundred soldiers died in the mouth of that beast, but this palace was saved by General Dong's life......"

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Li Yiqi's eyes, he narrowed his eyes, and asked slowly, "Your Highness is feeling guilty for those dead soldiers?"

"Shouldn't this palace blame itself? If it weren't for the fact that this palace insisted on taking them last night, they would ......"

Recalling the tragic situation of the death of those soldiers, Xia Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, she was born in the royal family, and from the day she was born, she passed brocade clothes, drank jade food, and between entering and exiting, the servants greeted her before and after. The flesh and blood of the people who had been seen there had melted away, leaving only dozens of bloody skeletons intertwined.

What's more, these were still guards who served her before their deaths, and she could name some of them.

Familiar people ended up like that because of her willful behavior, Xia Qing's inner torment can be imagined.

"Your Highness is indeed at fault, but not here. ”

Li Yiqi shook his head indifferently and said, "Everyone has their own fate, and those people are the guards of the East Palace, so they are naturally respected by His Highness's orders. It is their duty to live and die to protect His Highness. ”

"If His Highness is depressed just because of the death of these 100 people, then in the future on the battlefield of the Great Xia Frontier, our dynasty will fight with foreign races in a bloody battle, the corpses will be mountainous, and thousands of soldiers will die because of His Highness's order, what should Your Highness do?"

"If tens of millions of people die because of this palace, then this palace would rather resign as the crown prince!" Xia Qing gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and muttered like a mosquito.

"Big mistake!"

Suddenly, a loud shout exploded in the dormitory like thunder, shaking Xia Qing's ears.

"Those border soldiers didn't die for His Highness! They died for Daxia! They died for the country! They died for the people of the world! They died as they deserved!" Li Yiqi's sudden slap made Xia Qing's heart tremble, and she looked at the grim-looking young man in front of her in a daze, a little at a loss.

Li Yiqi looked at the prince with blazing eyes, and continued to shout: "Even the hundred East Palace guards, although they are not the border soldiers of the Duhu Mansion, they are also soldiers, they all have the court's Yulu during their lifetimes, and their families will also have the court's subsidies after their deaths.

Li Yiqi's words, although reasonable, are almost cold-blooded and ruthless, if these words are said to the third prince, the fifth prince and other princes who are ambitious, high-spirited, and have a deep city, they will naturally be recognized. However, Xia Qing is different, she is a daughter, although her heart is naughty, but her nature is extremely kind, and she has the natural cowardice of a girl, so she naturally can't easily agree with Li Yiqi's point of view.

"You ......" Xia Qing's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Li Yiqi with incredible eyes, as if she knew him on the first day.

"If Your Highness wants to ascend to the throne, there will be a lot of people who will die because of Your Highness, some of them are Your Highness's enemies, some are people around Your Highness, and even more are Your Highness's closest relatives......" Li Yiqi's dark eyes surged with an incomparably dark light, and his tone was even colder.

Hearing this, a touch of sadness appeared in the depths of Xia Qing's beautiful eyes, and she said quietly: "Then the palace doesn't want this throne, the palace will go to see the father and the emperor now, and resign from the position of the prince!"

"Smack!"

A heavy slap slapped Xia Qing on the face, Xia Qing was stunned, and Li Yiqi, who made the shot, was also stunned.

"You...... Are you hitting me?" Xia Qing covered her reddened cheeks, and only reacted after half a ring, her eyes were slightly red, tears were rolling in her eyes, her expression was both angry and aggrieved, and a pair of beautiful eyes glared at Li Yiqi.

"Your Highness...... I ......" Li Yiqi's eyelids jumped straight and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This slap went down, and he also calmed down.

Slapping the Prince...... This is no small matter.

"Your Highness is now resigning from the position of the crown prince, and the hundred guards will really die in vain. Li Yiqi bowed down and said word by word: "Your Highness went down to catch the demon python in order to please Your Majesty, so as to help the queen mother, Your Royal Highness gave up competing for the throne at this time, which is tantamount to putting the queen mother in danger." ”

When it came to the queen, Xia Qing finally calmed down, all day long, her mind was full of the tragic death of those guards, it was unbearable, but thinking of the queen's current situation, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Those guards, they died to protect His Highness, even if they were given another choice, they would not retreat. Li Yiqi sighed softly.

"If Your Highness really made a mistake, it wasn't that you decided to catch the demon python yourself. Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, and then said: "It's that the power brought by His Highness is too weak, if His Highness invited a few worshippers from the palace at that time, and then brought more than half of the people in the East Palace, even if there is a sacrifice in the end, the sacrifice will be reduced a lot." ”

"It's a mistake in detail, not a mistake in decision. Li Yiqi exhaled, trying to keep his voice as low as possible to make his tone sound more relaxed.

"Your Highness is still young, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, if Your Highness retreats because he is afraid of the psychological burden of 'someone dying for himself', then these hundred soldiers will really die in vain. ”

Li Yiqi put his arms on his back, raised his head and lifted the beams of the palace, and said quietly: "What happened last night is the only way for His Highness to grow up, and there will be many such things around His Highness again in the future, Your Highness, you can't avoid this kind of thing after all." ”

"Because...... You were born royal. ”

Li Yiqi left, leaving a free and easy back, Xia Qing stood in place in a daze, not moving for a long time.

......

Outside the dormitory, by the fence made of white jade, Li Yiqi stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the layers of dark clouds in the distance, and Jin Ling's voice came from his head: "Who is that little girl? ”

"Who are you talking about?" Li Yiqi frowned slightly and asked puzzled.

"The one in the hall just now. Jin Ling said lazily.

"In the main hall?" Li Yiqi didn't react for a while.

"Forget it, when the deity didn't say, hehe, it's really interesting, the deity is waiting to see a good show. Jin Ling smiled like a little devil and said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Li Yiqi frowned and turned to look at the prince's bedroom.

In the dormitory just now, there should be only two people, him and the prince, and there is a woman hiding behind the curtain. He continued to ask Jin Ling if he had found anything, but it was a stone sinking into the sea, and Jin Ling in the palace was silent, as if he was asleep.

"This Holy Spirit is really willful......" Li Yiqi shook his head helplessly, and immediately thought about what Jin Ling mentioned just now.

"The prince has not yet tied his bun, and in the dormitory, there is a woman hiding ......" Li Yiqi frowned slightly, lowered his head, and sighed bitterly.

He just 'taught' the prince, and slapped the prince in the face of emotion, which is already a big rebellion, if he goes in and preaches the prince now, I am afraid that no matter how good the prince's temper is, he will turn his face with himself.

"It's hard to read......"

Li Yiqi looked up at the sky, shook his head helplessly, and showed a wry smile on his face.

"My lord, General Dong is awake. ”

At this time, the subordinates of the East Palace hurriedly ran to Li Yiqi's side and said with a happy face.
