Chapter 40: A Touch of Temperature
She finished. Lowered his gaze. Quietly waiting for his answer.
But I waited for a quarter of an hour. I don't see the slightest indication from him.
She couldn't help but look up. But I saw his inky jade-like eyes. He was looking at her without blinking. In that gaze. There is a deep meaning that she can't detoxify. As if it was a pity. Regret. It's also like heartache. Tangled. But more than that, it's helplessness and intolerance.
"Little girl. I never wanted to detoxify with your life. No. Maybe I thought about it at first. But then . I don't think so. Do you believe it?" He spoke again. The sound is more gentle and inclusive than ever. It almost melted her whole heart.
Mo Lianyi's fists clenched slowly. Slowly release it again. She was a little annoyed. How he casually said two sentences. It will make her let her relax. She instinctively wanted to believe him. Want to help him. Although there was a voice in her heart reminding her. It's too dangerous. It's so weird. To save your life. Or leave this man. Or simply kill the insurance he came to.
His hand covered the back of her hand. Now. His palms are no longer so cold. Instead, with a hint of warmth. It's this faint temperature. But it made her feel like her eyes were sour.
"Little girl. I don't want to kill you. I want you to stay with me all the time. Until I die. What I've said. It's not going to change." He finished. Clenched her cold little hand.
Inexplicably. She shed a tear: "Why?" She didn't understand why he would give up. When the poison 'sex' attacks. Even she could feel the pain of his unwantedness. Why did he give up? Apparently the opportunity for relief is at hand.
He thought about it. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly: "I don't know. Maybe you're dead. I'll never find the next one. Actually, sometimes. It's painful to be alive. Especially one person. Living alone in this world."
Mo Lianyi was silent.
King Jin: "My life may not be long. I never thought about how long I would live. I just want to do everything I need to do while I'm alive. Then there will be no regrets. Little girl. During this time. Would you like to stay with me?"
A fresh breeze blows. The curtain of the carriage was blown. Bringing in a touch of soft moonlight outside the window.
Moonlight sprinkled on his face. Illuminated his eyes.
For a moment. Mo Ripple Ghost made the gods believe him. Not why. Just for the moonlight. His tender and affectionate gaze.
"Good. Trust you." She answered. There was a hint of warmth in the young voice.
He didn't want to.' A smile bloomed on the edge of the lips. Then he reached out and hooked her neck. Pressed her 'lips' to his. And then. A gentle 'kiss' caught her......
Imperial Palace Ouchi.
The three princes were in the queen's bedroom. A look of sincere fear. In humble reverence.
The queen sits on a soft couch. Silent. The face was cold and a little frightening.
"Queen Mother. Say whatever you have to say. The sons will do as you tell them." The third prince secretly pinched a cold sweat. Why did he think that the queen's temper was becoming more and more uncertain?
Thinking of those 'elite' Ying secret guards who died at the hands of Mo Lianyi. Behind the back of the three princes is another layer of cold sweat. Since then, he has not been embarrassed to enter the palace to see the queen. For fear that the queen would scold him for what happened. But I didn't expect that the queen would take the initiative to find him today. He took advantage of his illness and did not attend tonight's concubine selection banquet. But I've also heard about what happened at the banquet. The queen is not happy now. Probably because of the eight great families that have been hidden behind the prince.
The queen did not speak. She stared at the third prince with a gloomy gaze. The more you look. I feel more and more angry.
This Three Princes. It's just a mud with more than enough success and more failure. If there are other options. How could she nurture such a sludge.
If only her two royal sons were still alive. Her royal son......
As soon as I thought of it. She was in another pang of heartache.
I didn't expect to be at the concubine selection banquet today. The King of Jin will 'force' the eight great families behind the crown prince out. What a human being is unseemly.
The prince usually looks at the honest 'handover' and doesn't say a word. was occupied, and the East Palace didn't dare to say a word. But behind him, there are still eight great families supporting him.
Don't think about it. This must be the good hand of the crown prince's dead mother, Empress Hyoxian.
Empress Hyohyun was of noble birth. It is the daughter of the Pei family, but later Pei died after the death of Empress Xiaoxian. Defeat step by step. Gradually faded out of everyone's field of vision. Now it seems. The Pei family was not completely defeated. It's not. It can also condense the eight great families.
"You're not interested in what happened tonight. How do you see it." The Queen's faint opening. She played with a string of rosaries of the stars and moon Bodhi in her hand. Because I've been thinking about it for a long time. The pulp on the rosary is as clear as 'jade', so that the Bodhi seeds have the brilliance of 'jade' like pearls.
The eyes of the three princes fell on the Bodhi rosary on the empress. I thought about it. Only then did he speak: "Erchen thinks. The prince this person. Scheming deep. He is in addition to the eight great families. Maybe there are other hole cards. If the queen wants to get rid of him. You'll have to plan ahead." Ever since the queen adopted him. Over the years. The queen also taught him a lot of things.
For example. He knew that King Jin was the queen's confidant in these years. King Jin killed the queen's two sons. The queen naturally hated it to the core. But because King Jin's strength is too strong. There is also an emperor who has been protecting him in the open and in the dark. That's why the queen barely even did it.
No. It can't be said that there isn't.
At least tonight, there have been a thousand, if not thousands, of assassinations over the years, but hundreds. In order to. The queen doesn't know how many 'fine' British dead soldiers have been lost. Same as Empress Hyohyun. It is the current Queen of Nalan who is also from a century-old family. And the strength should not be underestimated. The world. The only guards who don't come out of the 'gate' of the gods. It's all controlled by the Nalan family.
The queen glanced at the third prince in disappointment: "Is this all the nonsense you want to say. You don't say. Hongu knows the same."
The queen's voice fell. The head of the third prince lowered a few more points. Then between the electric sparkles and flints. His brain was racing. The queen can't be made to look down on him. He had to say something useful: "Son...... Erchen thinks. Everything for tonight. It may have been arranged by my father. And the intention of my father to do this. It's really food for thought."
Indeed. As an emperor. provoke their two sons. Let them fight to the death for a 'female' person. Such a practice. It really doesn't make sense.
The queen listened. The eyes lit up. She looked at the Third Prince. Asked, "Oh. Say it to you. What is your father's intention in doing this?"
"This ...... This one...... My father has always acted unexpectedly. Erchen. I don't know why he's doing that." In fact, he hoped that the emperor was disgusted with the crown prince and the king of Jin at the same time. It's better to kill them together. Or let them fight to the death. Then he will be able to make a profit.
Now the emperor has only four sons. A prince. A Jin king. There is also an eleventh prince who hides in the Huguo Temple and can't come out. The rest. It's him, the third prince.
As long as the crown prince and the king of Jin die. Little Eleven is not to be feared at all. I want to know. A frail and sickly since childhood. What can a prince who grew up with a monk do?
The queen didn't scold him again this time. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "If this palace guesses correctly. The emperor did this. I want King Jin to recognize the true strength of the crown prince. King Jin has been rampant too much over the years. There is no one at the moment. I really thought that the emperor was protecting him. He can do whatever he wants. Today. The emperor used that Mo ripple as bait. The king of Jin wants to get rid of the crown prince. Between life and death. The head of the Eight Great Families had to come out to save the prince. Otherwise. With the ability of King Jin. The prince is really dead today." After speaking. She smiled coldly. There was an indescribable resentment in his eyes.
Emperor. It's so painstakingly for the sake of that little scumbag. Merely. People may not appreciate it.
A fire burned down the East Palace. Hehe. This kind of thing. I'm afraid only King Jin will do it. The world is so big. I'm afraid everyone is unaware of the notoriety of King Jin's murderousness. To be an emperor, you must first pay attention to fame. The King of Jin is famous. Treat him as if he were the emperor. I'm afraid everyone will be worried that he will become a tyrant of a generation. Thus the people are not able to make a living. Let's lose our lives.
The three princes listened to the empress's words. Secretly frightened.
That's a lot of speculation. But think about what the emperor has done for King Jin over the years. He felt that the queen was right.
"Queen Mother. If that's what you say. So now the king of Jin has his father to help him. And he learned about the strength of the crown prince. Wouldn't he be a tiger with wings? What are we going to do?" The third prince is a quick temper in the end. Although he is usually arrogant and domineering. But things really happened. He was a little overwhelmed. When Mo Lianyi was designed in the Royal 'Flower' Garden. He can be ruthless and mean. Interlocking. But after all, that's dealing with a weak 'girl'. Now. His opponent became the King of Jin. Became a prince. Became an emperor. He's got a little bit of it. But it's really not enough to see.
The queen smiled coldly: "Let them fight. Hongu would like to take a look. Sandpiper clam fighting. Who will benefit?"
The three princes were indifferent.
From this night onwards. The sky over Kyoto is overcast.
It rained heavily for five or six days.
Rain cats and dogs. Thunder and lightning 'cross' plus. Many poor houses collapsed in the wind and rain. The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Now the flood season is coming. As per the annual convention. Both the north and the south will drown a lot of the Lebanese people. A lot of good land will be wasted. Originally. The imperial court in order to cope with the flood season. will make some preparations in advance. For example, stockpiling grain. For example, the construction of embankments.
But no one expected. This year's flood season will be a full month earlier.
This caught the entire Great Xia Dynasty off guard.
And with the panic of natural disasters spread. It was His Royal Highness the King of Jin who had a poisonous 'sexual' attack. Go crazy. Rumors of a serious injury.
Outside the city. Bixi Manor.
Mo Lianyi stood under the eaves. Look at the pouring rain outside. Listen to the slashing sound of swords clashing not far away. Loud shouts. Shook his head helplessly.
This is the first 'wave' of assassins.
She couldn't remember anymore.
Now she doesn't know that those rumors were released by His Royal Highness King Jin himself. All she knows is. Since that rumor began. This tourmaline estate. was attacked by wave after wave of assassins.
Those people are listening to the rumors. Always check it out.
After all, the existence of King Jin is too strong. It's horrible. His means are his existence. are far beyond the tolerance of everyone. So. While the people were afraid of him. They all hope that he will fall as soon as possible. Or die sooner rather than later. Missing this killing god. Everyone will be able to return to normal life.
It's just a pity that these people didn't expect it. The 'fine' dead men they sent. One by one, there is no return.
The construction of this tourmaline estate is very 'exquisite'. Carved beams and painted buildings. Pavilions.' Flowers' garden lake has it all.
And that's not the most important thing. It's the ingenious mechanism setup here...
