The night darkened, there was no moon or stars tonight, and the night sky was as dark as if someone had taken a big quilt and covered the sky.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.

Tonight is destined to be a night that will keep many people awake.

"Lord Wang, this is the third batch, and they are people sent by the Jingjun Palace." He Mo came in with a heavy face and said, "I didn't expect that even the King of Jingjun would kill you, could it be that he really thought that without you, he would be able to control the court?" ”

He Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged, and he was not surprised at all: "He is a fool who is easy to be instigated, and it is strange that he does not come to this king." ”

He Mo gritted his teeth and complained dissatisfiedly: "If it wasn't for the prince who saved him like a divine soldier descending from heaven, how could he have survived to this day?" It's only been a long time, and it's too quick to be ungrateful. ”

The first emperor had many brothers, but King Jingjun and He Zhizhou were the only living brothers of the first emperor. At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill and could not be treated, the little emperor who was the crown prince was not yet eight years old, the prince was young, and his brothers were all in the prime of life. And the first emperor also knew the wolf-like virtues of his brothers, so he personally set off a bloody battle for the throne, the purpose of which was to eradicate dissidents for his son and let the little emperor inherit his throne smoothly.

This competition lasted for a year and two months, and when the curtain finally came to an end, the capital was already full of blood and bones, and the last person to survive was He Zhizhou, the youngest brother of the first emperor, who became the regent. One is the current prince of Jingjun, he didn't even get a prince, and directly became the prince of the county. Of course, the prince of the county is also much stronger than his brothers who fell in the competition, at least his life was saved, and his glory and wealth were not lost.

King Jingjun has soft roots, and although he is timid, he has a lot of ambition. I heard that He Zhizhou was seriously injured and died, and he was whispered in his ear from time to time, he was also the brother of the first emperor, why did the regent become the regent, and he was not even a prince? If the regent is gone, he will be the only imperial uncle of the little emperor, and when the time comes, he will take the position of the regent and supervise the country on behalf of the little emperor, how majestic and happy it is! He didn't think about it, when the war for the succession was heating up, the first emperor had already killed the red eyes, lured the few remaining brothers and the courtiers who supported them into the palace, and ordered the Praetorian Guards to kill them all, ignoring that King Jingjun was his half-brother. If it weren't for He Zhizhou leading people from the sky to stop this killing in the end, where would there be King Jingjun?

Of course, He Zhizhou didn't intend to save him, and when he arrived, the people in the hall were almost slaughtered, and a king of Jingjun shivered and hid under the corpse, which was saved by He Zhizhou.

"Ungrateful?" He Zhizhou sneered, "I'm afraid that in his heart, this king has never been kind to him, so where does the negativity come from?" I can't say that he still has a grudge against this king in his heart, and he didn't help him fight for the title of prince in front of the first emperor back then. ”

After He Zhizhou stopped the first emperor from slaughtering his brothers and courtiers, the first emperor's condition deteriorated further, and it was too late to clean up the only two remaining brothers, and the first emperor killed too many people, which had already caused bad public opinion, and thought that his son was still young, even if he succeeded to the throne smoothly, there was no personal support around him, but he was afraid that the throne would not be stable. At the last moment of the first emperor's life, he chose He Zhizhou as the regent to assist in supporting the young crown prince to ascend the throne. And the younger brother who survived, the first emperor also knew that he was timid and stupid, and he thought about him once before he died, and only let him be a powerless but rich county king, the purpose was to let him not rely on the fact that he was also a prince, and he was also the uncle of the first emperor's own brother and the little emperor, and he angered He Zhizhou, and finally lost his life.

But obviously, the first emperor rarely took care of his own brother, but the king of Jingjun wanted to come up and find death, who did he complain about?

"Half of the people sent by King Jingjun are dead and half captured alive, please show the prince, what should I do with those assassins who are captured alive?" Holmer glanced at Mingyue, who was napping in the soft chair by the window, and unconsciously lowered his voice.

He followed the prince when he was a child, and he was originally assigned to the palace beast garden to serve the sin slaves of those beasts, and it was there that he met He Zhizhou, and then followed He Zhizhou for more than ten years to the present. For so many years, he had never seen the prince trust other women as much as he trusted the princess of the Xia Kingdom.

In other words, there has never been a woman around the prince. But this princess of Xia Kingdom has stubbornly occupied a place in the prince's heart. He Mo didn't know how the prince would settle or dispose of this princess in the future, but looking at the eyes that the master cast at her from time to time, He Mo felt that the possibility of disposal was relatively small.

"Keep the man for the king, and in a few days, the king himself will send the man over to the fool." When He Zhizhou mentioned King Jingjun, he was a fool, which showed that he looked down on him very much.

His gaze couldn't help but glance in the direction of Mingyue again.

She leaned back in the soft chair, the wide, soft chair making her petite even more visible. His eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

This girl is really bold, although she didn't let her see the battle in the dark night, but just listening to Holmer's reply, she also knew that tonight was very dangerous, but just like that, she could still sleep.

Her eyelashes are really long, and when she closes her eyes, she shows them even longer, curly, like a black forest, and her roots are distinct. The candle flame in the room flickered, and the long shadow hanging under the eyelashes also flickered, like thousands of weeping willows, misty like catkins, which disturbed people's hearts.

He Zhizhou listened to the faint sound of fighting in the distance, looking at the sleeping face in front of him without any sorrow, the cold and cruel face had changed, and the smile slowly melted, his eyes were distant and bright, like a lake under the moon, with light ripples and fine flickering.

He Mo waited for a while, and without waiting for other instructions from He Zhizhou, he couldn't help but raise his head curiously, and saw the gentle smile and gaze of his prince like spring water.

Hormo was stunned, and was about to rub his eyes to see if he was wrong, when he saw a flash in his master's eyes, like an extremely dark shadow, filled with a mist that could not be dissipated, cold and compassionate.

Oh, he really saw it wrong just now, how could such a gentle look appear on the master? This is the only one he is familiar with.

He Mo comforted himself so much in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, the cold gaze had fallen on him, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "What else does the prince command?" ”

"Why don't you go outside and watch, and wait for this king to invite you to supper?" He Zhizhou glared at him unhappily.

Hormo broke out in a cold sweat, "The little one doesn't dare!" ”

Just as he was about to withdraw, he remembered that there was still something he hadn't said, so he hurriedly said: "Someone in the house took advantage of the chaos to send letters, and there were several batches, and all the letters have been intercepted." Do you want to take a look? ”

"What's there to see." He Zhizhou waved his hand, "There is no need to intercept them, let them send the letter out, this king will wait." ”

Homer received instructions and hurriedly turned and went out.

……

"Thought you pretended to be asleep, and this king would treat you as if you didn't hear this?" As soon as He Mo left, He Zhizhou said lazily.

Then he saw Mingyue's dark and slender eyelashes trembling slightly, slowly opening them, crossing the cold air at midnight, and slowly closing, like a butterfly about to fly, fluttering away from the branches, inadvertently fluttering on people's hearts.

Her eyes were clear, and she didn't feel sleepy. At this time, he looked at him dissatisfied, and rolled his eyes.

She pretended to be asleep and didn't hear it, but he wanted to expose it, what kind of heart was An?

"The prince said and laughed, where did I pretend to be asleep, it was clear that I was really asleep." It doesn't matter what kind of heart he has, she just needs to pretend not to hear it, "It's late, is the prince going to have supper or just go to bed?" ”

He Zhizhou looked at her with some incredulity, "The assassins outside are about to come in, can you actually sleep?" ”

"You're not here to kill me." Mingyue replied without thinking.

As soon as the words came out, she felt bad, and sure enough, she heard He Zhizhou smile coldly, "This king said that he would live and die with Changle, don't worry, if the assassin really comes in, this king will never forget you." ”

Mingyue: "......"

Please, forget about me!

Xu wanted to take revenge on Mingyue, and He Zhizhou began to toss again, "This king is really hungry." ”

Mingyue looked at him expressionlessly. This stingy and vengeful man will most likely enslave her again tonight, and he will never let her go to sleep easily! "I will call someone to serve the prince."

"Whoever you let in, this king will break his neck." And threaten him with this trick, really when he has no way to crack it?

Mingyue didn't care, anyway, it wasn't to break her neck.

Thinking like this, he got up and was about to walk out, "I will remember to burn more paper money ingots for her every year." ”

"Really?" He Zhizhou smiled lazily, "Then every year and today in the future, you must also remember to burn more ingots paper money for your poor and innocent little maid." That girl is stupid and unlucky enough to follow you as a master who doesn't care whether she lives or dies, and I'm afraid that I will inevitably be bullied by other ghosts at the bottom. ”

Threaten people with him? He could easily throw her out of the streets!

Mingyue really paused. She turned her back to He Zhizhou and breathed deeply and vigorously several times, before she pressed the power of the flood scurrying in her body, Huo Di turned around and asked expressionlessly, "What does the prince want to eat?" ”

"Just make a three-fresh duck and send it over." Her suffocating and compromising appearance made He Zhizhou feel good, and said in a gracious tone: "Presumably you are also hungry, but you can accompany this king to use some." ”

A look of "don't thank this king, it is because of your good performance that I will give you the gift of accompanying this king to eat".

Mingyue was still expressionless, "I'm not hungry." ”

I like to eat duck so much, why don't you just make duck! Mingyue scolded viciously while resigned herself to the kitchen.

The small kitchen is not far away, and after He Zhizhou lived in Yuwuyuan, all the people in the yard were changed, and the people in the natural kitchen were also changed. Of course, this is the handiwork of He Mo, just to ensure the safety of He Zhizhou's diet and medicine. It also avoided the leakage of things like the prince not only being okay but also having a good appetite, so naturally it should have been arranged.

Thinking about the man's preference for ducks, everyone knows it. Mingyue was thinking nonsense as she walked towards the kitchen with a lantern.

Xiaotan was going to follow her, but Mingyue didn't let her show her face in front of He Zhizhou often, for fear that He Zhizhou would use her to coerce her, so she only went to play with Brother Fan if she was fine. I don't want to think that although Xiaotan didn't show his face in front of He Zhizhou, he was still remembered by He Zhizhou.

Mingyue couldn't help but sigh, her heart was in a mess, she didn't know what He Zhizhou was going to do with her?

She smashed He Zhizhou's head, and knew so many things about him, although it was all a last resort, but obviously the man was not ready to let her go. Then there are only two ways in front of her, either share a boat with him, or be killed by him.

But such a dangerous and unreasonable man really ends well with him? His ambition has never been hidden, he is running for the throne, but he has not been able to win the throne for many years as a regent, it must be due to some reason, the little emperor is getting bigger and bigger, this uncle and nephew will not die in the future, if she gets on He Zhizhou's ship, the little emperor will definitely regard her as a thorn in the side, can't move He Zhizhou, is it possible that she can't move a little her?

But she was killed by He Zhizhou like this, and she didn't do it! Who wants to die if they haven't lived enough?

I don't want to die, and I don't want to go to the thief ship of Henozhou, is there a third way?

Mingyue couldn't help but look up and sigh, what kind of life is she, the little cabbage is not as bitter as her!

"Don't move, don't shout!" In the dark of the night, the cold voice suddenly sounded behind Mingyue, and with that cold voice, it was a long sword that was even cooler and sharper than it.

it! Mingyue's heart collapsed, and in a short period of time, this was the second time she had been held hostage. Although it's the first time to act, who likes to be held hostage!

Mingyue still maintained a posture of looking up to the sky and sighing, and her neck suddenly felt cold, which made her shiver, stiffening her neck and not daring to move. But this posture really made her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but whisper to discuss: "This ...... Friend, can I discuss something with you? Can you make my head move a little, I'm so tired and panicked to lean back like this. I swear, just move it gently. I won't shout or move, don't worry. ”

The people behind him didn't seem to expect that Mingyue was discussing such a trivial matter with him, he was silent for a while, and finally moved the long sword that was firmly on Mingyue's neck slightly outward, "Where is the regent?" ”
