Chapter 166: Determination

"How long have you been doing things for him?"

"I met the emperor at the age of sixteen, and now I count it, and I have five years."

Hu Yueyi's eyes moved slightly, raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and her tone was mixed with some inexplicable meaning: "The person who let me meet the emperor back then was actually your ......"

…… The one who reversed his life and death was you, the one who changed his fate...... It's yours too......

King You's breath was deep, and he immediately turned his back and said solemnly: "Okay, I don't blame you, you ...... Let's go. ”

Hu Yueyi was stunned, her eyes flickered a little, and she seemed to want to speak, but she stopped talking. She bowed her head in response, and walked towards the door with a somewhat solemn face.

………………

Seeing Hu Yueyi's approaching figure from the crack in the door, Xie Lingxu's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and the indifferent woman opened the door, and immediately met Xie Lingxu's eyes - I saw that her eyes trembled slightly, and there seemed to be something obscure hidden under her eyes.

The woman walked coldly in front of Lingxu, leaving a faint fragrance as thin as a gossamer in the air. Raising his eyes and looking at King You, who was standing at the desk with his back to him, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but sigh a sigh.

- "Why don't you ......?"

The person in front of him turned his head and suddenly felt a little abrupt when he saw Lingxu...... I saw that King You's eyes moved slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little happy and a little throbbing......

"Lingxu, you're back."

Xie Lingxu nodded slightly, but he was cramped and uneasy, not knowing what to say next.

seems to hide thousands of words in the bottom of his heart, King You smiled comfortably, ignoring what had happened and did not mention it,

"It's good to come back, but if you need anything, I'll prepare it."

"King You." Xie Lingxu pursed his lips, and then said simply: "I want to ask...... This time, can you be on the emperor's side. ”

As soon as he blurted out some pleading words, the speaker felt his throat clench, and the listener's heart was also infarcted.

"Did you come back just so I could help him?"

"There may be something else going on here."

King You's eyes were frosty, and he suddenly interrupted the former's words with some displeasure: "That day, the King of Shang revealed his identity in one fell swoop in the court, is there still a fake in this matter?" The dignified son of heaven is the same person as Mu Yun who kills people on the rivers and lakes, don't you feel surprised? Murdering the first emperor to seize the throne, hiding his strength for many years, and hibernating in the palace, is such a person worthy of your trust? ”

Xie Lingxu clenched his fists and looked sharp: "Could it be that if you put the country in the hands of the King of Shang, you can rest assured?" ”

King You took a breath, and was suddenly jealous by the former's concerned look: "Can't you see all the sins he has committed?" ”

"But there are some things that I can't help myself......"

"Luo Fan's mind is sinister and he does everything, is it for his sake that you can't see right and wrong?"

"He didn't!" Xie Lingxu unconsciously clenched his fists and said sharply: "The right path is also the right way in your eyes. You're right, I just don't distinguish between black and white, I never care about right and wrong! Maybe I'm just like him, we're all the same kind of people, living in this world, all for ourselves! ”

"Lingxu-" King You's land was a little out of control: "How do you want me to choose?" Do you want me to shield and condone those who conspire against me, and turn a deaf ear to morality? ”

"No need." Xie Lingxu's eyes were gloomy: "It's me who is asking too much, knowing that you are a downright person, how can you stand on our side." You're ...... I haven't been here today, farewellβ€”"

Looking at Xie Lingxu's back as he turned around and left without thinking, King You's eyebrows furrowed, and he said a little unexpectedly: "For the sake of such a person, are you determined to do this?" ”

The former never looked back, and his heart sank like water, and his voice was awe-inspiring: "Yes!" ”

………………

………………

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Raising his feet and stepping out of the gate of the Trench Palace, Xie Lingxu was a little angry in his heart...... I don't know why I am so emotional, and my heart has not been calmed down until now.

The night was dark, and the silence around him made his mood more and more intense at this moment, Xie Lingxu sighed heavily, and was a little depressed for a while.

Raising her eyes casually, she saw Hu Yueyi's figure suddenly appear in front of her, she stood with her hands down, as if she had been waiting for herself for a long time again.

Xie Lingxu was taken aback, and immediately listened to the former: "You have discovered his identity?" ”

"Is there anyone in the court today who doesn't know what the emperor has done?"

I saw Hu Yueyi smiling lightly, but she taught herself that she couldn't understand the other meaning in her smile: "You are different, because he ...... I'm most afraid of being known. ”

"If it's a lie, it will be exposed one day, even if there is a seamless disguise, it will not help." Xie Lingxu glanced at the woman in front of him lightly...... For many years, she has disguised herself for the emperor, and it is this seemingly depressed, cold and ruthless person who has known her early on, but she has never thought of her secret identity that no one knows.

"Is it a lie, is it really that important? Even if they treat each other sincerely, will they be broken by an unintentional deception? ”

Xie Lingxu: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I know...... You want to help the emperor. ”

With a deep breath, Xie Lingxu's eyes were grim: "What did the emperor do?" ”

I only felt that I wanted to help the emperor without thinking, but I didn't know anything about the former...... All of his was a blank for himself, and he once thought he knew something about it, but now it seems that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"The emperor has indeed done something out of the ordinary, but I think you know his hardships."

"I don't know him as well as you, and what I see is nothing but an illusion before my eyes by your hands."

Hu Yueyi smiled: "I don't know the emperor, even if I have been doing things by his side for so many years, I have never seen him confide in the slightest true feelings, and you are the first person to approach his heart." ”

Xie Lingxu lowered his eyes, deliberately ignored the former's words, and said indifferently: "You just need to tell me the truth, and you don't need to mention anything else." ”

Hu Yueyi: "The death of the first emperor is indeed blamed on the emperor, and it was also because the second prince suddenly broke in, and unfortunately bumped into the emperor's action, so he was taken away to find the mage to erase his memory, but unexpectedly, the use of the method was excessive, and the second prince lost his mind for a while, and since then he has become crazy, and he has been locked up in a remote place. ”

…… The emperor didn't kill the second prince directly, and it was not ruthless enough to leave such a handle......

Xie Lingxu: "Now there is only the second prince, a person who has no deterrent power? ”

The reason why the king of Shang dared to be so sure was because he had also found a person...... He served the emperor in those years, and then served the prince who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Xie Lingxu's eyes moved slightly: "Did this person see the scene at that time?" ”

"I did something against my heart, and the emperor was also disturbed for a while, and when he saw the figure flashing by on the side, he didn't have time to take care of it, and then he didn't take it to heart."

"Why is the emperor so careless!"

Xie Lingxu scolded sharply, only to realize that the emperor had clearly done something evil, and he still complained about the former's work to smooth out the evidence of the crime!

I saw that Hu Yueyi was also surprised, and then lowered her eyes and said solemnly: "Now that no one in the court has come forward to support the emperor, the king of Shang has been planning in private for a long time, and I am afraid that he is planning to take the throne in one fell swoop when the court tells the emperor." ”

Xie Lingxu's heart trembled slightly, only to feel that such an unfavorable situation was really difficult...... What can I do to help you?

Since you can't change the facts, you can't hide it......

Xie Lingxu: "Where is the eunuch you said now?" ”

"In the Shang King's Mansion. Do you want to go to him? But it's too dangerous. ”

Looking at the person in front of him with deep eyes, Xie Lingxu's voice was awe-inspiring: "There are some things that need your help, Miss Hu-"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When he returned to the room, it was already late at night, and he only felt tired all over, Xie Lingxu pushed open the door, but was frightened by the sudden invasion of the figure inside-

I'll go......

Xie Lingxu's pupils shrank sharply, and only after taking a closer look through the dim light did he recognize the face of the person in front of him:

"Your Majesty...... Do! ”

Seeing that the person in front of him was getting closer, he hugged himself tightly without saying anything, and he didn't care about pushing and shoving, Xie Lingxu couldn't help frowning slightly:

"What's crazy?"

After struggling for a while, it was to no avail, Xie Lingxu simply let go of his hand and let him hold it like this, but his heart was indifferent.

"I'm afraid, I won't be able to hold you anymore."

The emperor closed his eyes and quietly tasted the temperature of the breath brought by the former, only to feel that this moment was so precious and haunting people's dreams.

Looking sideways at his side face leaning on his shoulder, Xie Lingxu's eyes were gloomy: "Your Majesty, I hope you don't misunderstand, the reason why I help you is because I take into account the past feelings, and it doesn't mean other feelings, please ...... Dead weight! ”

I only felt that the former's body trembled slightly, and Xie Lingxu saw that the emperor finally let go of his hand, but the gloom in his eyes was sad-

A thousand cuts can't resist your desperation, so do you want to be with me like this, stubborn to the end......?

"If you are still resentful, it is better not to help me, if torture can make you soft-hearted, then I am willing to bear all the suffering."

"I said it, I didn't help you for anything else, maybe it's because I'm still a friend and I don't want to see you hurt, why don't you understand?"

Friend...... is this your final bottom line?

I only felt that the emperor's eyes burned my heart and lungs, and the sad but fiery aura on his body was a little unbearable, Xie Lingxu took a step back, opened his eyes and said lightly:

"I'm tired, you can go back."

The cold words fell on the tip of his heart, and the emperor had a stalk in his throat, and his expression was a little bitter: "You still can't let it go." ”

The air around him was heavy and dull, which made people a little breathless, Xie Lingxu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Fang Ting the former still seemed to refuse to give up and said:

"If I can get out of it this time, I won't let go of anything you say-"

Not daring to look up at the emperor's miserable eyes, Xie Lingxu clenched his fists, but there was a faint pain in his chest-

…… Knowing that it is futile, why do you waste your efforts and stop where you are and are reluctant to move forward......?
