On the way back to Fengyi Palace, Yousi lowered his head and walked quietly, and after a long time, he turned around and asked Ruyue, who had been silently following behind him.

"Are you still in pain?"

Ruyue shook her head, "The slave doesn't hurt." ”

"Why are you willing to be wronged for me?"

In the long corridor, Ruyue's voice was still quiet, repeating the words she had said a long time ago, "Because you are the one the master cares about." ”

You thought about looking at Ruyue, stopped, looked at the high palace wall and said: "You care about him, so you are even willing to be wronged by the people he cares about, and I also care about him, but I don't want to be wronged." Sister Ruyue, am I not as loving him as you?"

When Ruyue heard this, she hurriedly knelt on the ground in a panic, and said to Yousi: "Queen Mother, the slave and maid are good to the master and you, they are all the hearts of Akagi that slaves and maids should have, and I hope that the mother will not misunderstand." ”

Yousi reached out and pulled Ruyue up, took her hand, and walked slowly in the corridor, his voice muffled, "You said that if I really pushed that beauty into the water, he would protect me?" ”

Ruyue said: "Niangniang is not that kind of person. ”

Yousi laughed, his smile was a little untouchable, "You lied, you clearly saw me kill people, you know everything." ”

Ruyue, who was beside her, was not afraid or embarrassed because of some thoughts, but held your thoughts tightly, and affirmed: "Actually, Niangniang is a good person, but many good people must do bad things if they want to survive in this world." ”

"Is that a good guy?"

"The slave doesn't know, but the slave thinks the mother is."

"I don't know how many more disgusting and cheesy dramas like today's will be in the future."

Ruyue paused for a moment, followed and thought, as if she hesitated for a long time, before reminding: "Niangniang, many times, you have to learn to protect yourself, the emperor and him, there will always be times when he can't take care of it." ”

You Siyi lowered his head, and tears couldn't help but burst into his eyes, "Are you telling me that I'm afraid that when he has to give up on me that day, I'll die miserably, right?" ”

Ruyue pulled a thoughtful hand, "The emperor won't." ”

Yousi rubbed his eyes, wiped away his tears, and tried to hide his emotions, "I only have one him, and I can endure many things for him, but now, he is not the only one who has me, and this is not what I want." ”

"Being in the royal family, the emperor can't help himself."

"If Wei Wei dies, will he give up those concubines and only be with me?"

Ruyue opened her mouth, she wanted to comfort Yousi, but think about it for thousands of years, and what king only guarded one woman, even if the king was willing, the ministers of the court would definitely not agree, she didn't want to deceive Yousi, but she didn't want to tell this doomed fact.

The two figures were silent and walked all the way to the Fengyi Palace.

Yousi seemed to slowly fall into her own melancholy, every day in addition to looking forward to Zhao Zhao coming, that is, thinking, if she can't stay in this palace in this world, what way to return to the Styx, although it is barren and cold, but in the end it is also the home where she has lived for hundreds of years, when she was in the Styx, her heart has never been so blocked and sad as now, and she has never felt that she has not suffered any injuries, but her heart hurts as if it was divided piece by piece.

Entered the wax moon, approaching the end of the year, at this time last year, the old emperor died, something happened in the palace, Zhao Zhao was chased and killed, she looked for many alleys at the east gate of the palace, only to find the seriously injured Zhao Zhao.

That night, she spent all her money and went to most of the hospitals in Kyoto to buy medicine for him, although it was hard work, although it was dangerous to face people's pursuit, but she was very relaxed at that time, and felt quite fun.

Now it's another year, and she has changed from a maid who pours tea and water to the queen mother of Daliang and his wife, but the distance between the two seems to be getting farther and farther away.

Yousi felt that she could endure for a while for Zhao Zhao until he got rid of all obstacles, and the two of them were happily together. But Yousi is afraid, afraid that Zhao Zhao thinks that all this is a woman who is a queen should suffer, she is afraid that when Wei Wei is gone, there will be no more Zhang Wei and Li Wei, or all the threats of the previous dynasty will be gone, and he will still guard those concubines and concubines in the harem.

Yousi felt that in her impression, the husband and wife should not be like this, when they wandered together, when they lived in the same room, everyone said that they were husband and wife, and the real husband and wife should be like that.

Why did it become the way it is now, I don't understand it, and I'm getting more and more confused day by day.

At the end of the year, it was the death day of the first emperor, and the imperial tomb was built on the outskirts of the city.

When traveling, Zhao Zhao's sedan chair and hundreds of officials walked in front, and the thoughtful carriage and horses followed behind with the ladies of the harem, and when they reached a hillside leading to the imperial tomb, a loose road sank the wheels of a carriage, blocking the women's procession behind.

In order not to delay the hour, Zhao Zhao and the hundred officials who were walking in front of him went forward first, and a group of guards came around, dragging the carriage and filling the earth, and when the road was cleaned up, it still opened some distance from the team in front.

Yousi sat in the queen's carriage, leaning against the wall of the carriage, almost falling asleep on the rickety mountain road, thinking that the carriage had stopped, and when he arrived at the place, he stretched out his head to look, but saw that the road had collapsed, so he leaned back and continued to doze off in a daze.

Groggy and seemed to be about to fall into a dream, Zhao Zhao took her hand, they lived in a private house like an ordinary couple, he went out to work, she became a butcher, and lived a harmonious and beautiful life, and after a few years, the children were all there. But in a blink of an eye, the surrounding sky darkened, she looked around, Zhao Zhao was gone, the child was gone, she returned to the Styx, some of the older ancestors in the Styx, were talking about the grand goal of unifying the Six Realms, but as she spoke, the entire Stygian Sea also began to tremble.

Yousi opened her eyes and saw that the carriage she was riding in suddenly shook, and the horse seemed to be frightened, running back and forth frantically, and shaking wildly with the carriage.

Ruyue, who followed on the side, obviously couldn't sit safely, but in the panic, she still grabbed Yousi's hand, and then the sky swirled, and the carriage followed the horse around a sharp bend, took off the reins, and the carriage took Yousi and Ruyue and fell down the hill quickly.

This part of the hill was the steepest part of the whole mountain road, and the slope was overgrown with weeds and steep trees, and only the carriage could be faintly seen stumbling to the bottom of the valley, and it was already broken into a mess, and it was impossible to see how miserable the people inside were.

All the people present had already expected that the queen mother would die this time, but everything was not true, and at this time, before the carriage landed, she had already appeared hundreds of steps away with Ruyue.

Yousi had some bruises on his face, and within a moment, he had healed himself quickly, but Ruyue was sweating profusely, as if she had broken her foot.

Yousi looked at Ruyue's painful appearance and hurriedly said, "I'll take you up." ”

Ruyue, whose lips trembled because of the scars around her body, grabbed Yousi, shook her head and said, "Niangniang, you can't go up at this time." ”

You thought: "I'm not afraid of them, it's because they don't talk about morality first." ”

Speaking of the word "morality", the thoughtful voice gradually became smaller, it turned out that in the hearts of many people, the word morality has long been completely covered up by the position of power, and there is no trace left.

"Nope." Ruyue shook her head, tears welling up in her painful eyes, "After this danger, if you take me back quickly, they will definitely suspect Niangniang's identity." ”

Yousi looked at Ruyue, "You really know everything, aren't you afraid?" ”

Ruyue shook her head, "I was afraid at first, but then I wasn't afraid, because Ruyue was sold in many places since she was a child, and she has seen many people who are more terrible than demons. You've never hurt them, but they've tried your life several times. ”

Thinking about it, he hugged Ruyue, and said in a muffled voice: "Sister Ruyue, you are the best good person I have met since I came to the world, except for the old beggar, I can't watch you suffer, I will take you to the doctor." ”

Ruyue shook her head, "The slave can bear it, there are many people above, not all of them are from the Wei family, and if the female relatives are delayed, the emperor will also find out, and it won't take long to find us." ”

"But ......" Yousi hesitated just now, but saw a few people with swords suddenly appear in the surrounding grass, those people seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and their hair was covered with miscellaneous grass leaves.

Yousi took off the cloak on his body and put it on Ruyue's body, a pair of eyes revealed a chill in the forest, gritted his teeth and said: "After enduring it for a long time, do they really think that I am a compassionate demon?" ”

As he spoke, Yousi pulled the curtain of the cloak forward, covering Ruyue's eyes, and comforted: "You stay here, don't look at anything, you know?" ”

Ruyue nodded, and a tear fell from between the hats, "You, be careful." ”

Before the two finished speaking, the knife wind had already slashed into the heart of the thought, but in an instant, the person under the knife was gone, and the assassin who was in front of him slashed into the air, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly felt that a pair of hands choked his throat, and then his body was slowly lifted by the slender woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, and then with a click, the head was tilted to the side at a strange angle, and the whole body instantly collapsed into a puddle of mud.

The rest of them were shocked, took a few steps back, and still gritted their teeth and slashed up, thinking that they are now used to eating fireworks in the world, and they don't like to bite with their teeth, so they only pinched off their necks and took out their spleen, lungs, hearts and livers.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking the sky came, and a sharp short arrow stabbed Yousi's shoulder, Yousi turned his head and saw a person not far away, looking at her with trembling legs, holding a small bow and crossbow in his hand.

Obviously, the short arrow was quenched with poison in advance, and the people who wanted to kill her were so ruthless that they didn't even want to leave her a chance to live.
