Si Yujin didn't remember when Chenguang came back from Shengzi Mountain, a prince like him who was not favored, had a weak sense of existence, and was already good in his eyes for a few days a year, he was the last to know anything that happened in the palace, and after a long time, he didn't care about what happened in the palace for a long time, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

He has two elder brothers, the mothers of the two elder brothers are from powerful backgrounds, under all kinds of bullying, Si Yujin has long stopped fighting for the top, except for occasionally mocking in his heart that whether it is the eldest brother or the second emperor brother taking over the Feng Ming Kingdom, the Feng Ming Kingdom will inevitably die in the country, but this kind of thing He just thinks in his heart, no matter what the brother is mediocre, Feng Ming Kingdom will not be his turn to call the shots.

Si Yujin has always been a matter of concern to himself, and when he heard that the eldest princess returned to the palace from Shengzi Mountain, he just thought that the eldest sister who died that year did not die, and as for the rest, he didn't care if it had nothing to do with him.

One after another, news came to his ears that the eldest sister who came back from Shengzi Mountain was often bullied by his brothers and sisters. Si Yujin thought, just those brutes who take pleasure in abusing people, it's strange not to bully people.

He didn't go to his heart.

Until one day, he couldn't sleep at night, so he went out for a walk in the garden. He was used to being alone, and he felt comfortable walking outside alone in the dead of night.

It was that night that the long-standing peace was shattered, and the direction of his life was completely changed that night.

The screams came from the depths of the greenery, and they were extremely poignant and terrifying.

There are very few patrols in the palace of the Phoenix Kingdom, the grass in the palace is luxuriant, and there are many naturally generated mud ponds, and occasionally some beasts that are not easy to stop will slip in, Si Yujin thought that someone had accidentally encountered a fierce beast, followed the sound and walked over, through the dense jungle, and the next scene that caught his eye was a bloody scene that he was extremely unwilling to recall and could never forget in his life.

There are many bats, which are bat varieties that Si Yujin has never seen before, big and ugly, with sharp fangs and scarlet eyes, this is not a bat, this is clearly a group of monsters.

The monsters huddled together and let out a strange cry, they flapped their wings, their sharp claws firmly grasping at a person, their sharp teeth gnawing at that person's skin, bloody, and disgusting.

Many bats came to rest on the man, and the screams came from the man's mouth, but soon, the man could no longer make a sound, and there were so many bats that they attached to his body and completely overwhelmed him.

The dense bats are wrapped in a human figure, and with the action of gnawing, they rise and fall, and fall in the eyes of outsiders, making people's scalps numb and have an indescribable nausea.

This is probably the most terrifying picture Si Yujin has ever seen in his life, even if there are many battles in the palace and blood everywhere, but no bloody incident has ever made him feel so disgusting and frightened.

He could see the corner of the black robe of the man who had been gnawed by the bats, and from the workmanship of the garment, he recognized the man as the second prince who had always taken pleasure in bullying and humiliating him.

Then look at the person sitting in the shadow of the lamp, a girl in white, her beautiful face is still childish, she is lazy like a cat, lying softly in the arms of a beautiful maid, around them, a man and four women stand quietly, because it is too dark, he can't see their looks clearly, only feel that their breath like a dead person erases the liveliness of the girl in white, although she is laughing, but Si Yujin can't feel that she is alive, it is a kind of lifeless but desperately beating strange vitality.

The girl held her cheek with one hand, and looked at the young man surrounded by bats with a smile, and the bloody and terrifying picture fell into her eyes, as if it was a wonderful and interesting play, and she watched it with relish and joy.

But this is only on the surface, on the surface she looks very happy, but if you look closely at the curved eyebrows, you will find that the eyes that are obviously smiling are so empty and empty, at first, you will think that the content in those eyes is very exciting, but at the wrong moment, you feel that it is a pair of eyes that do not reflect anything and look like a living dead.

She looked at him with such eyes.

Si Yujin only felt that a basin of snow water was poured from head to soles of his feet, it was very strange, he had lived in the desert since he was a child and had never seen snow, but when she looked at it, Si Yujin miraculously had such a feeling. The cold, biting cold, but it became the strongest stimulus, stimulating him who had always been tepid.

At that moment, he shivered fiercely, and a huge wave was inexplicably set off in his chest, which was an emotional fluctuation that had never been so strong that it was frightening, and the heart that had been closed by him seemed to have been summoned by a demon, and it was opened by a ghost.

If it was normal, seeing such a scene, he would definitely leave quietly if he had nothing to do with himself. But this time, the soles of his feet seemed to have roots, and he wanted to move, but he couldn't. He looked straight at her, trying to look away, but he seemed to be sucked in, and no matter how much his heart rejected, he couldn't take his eyes off her careless eyes.

The girl seemed a little surprised, she looked at him curiously, and then suddenly a creepy interest flashed in her dark eyes.

Si Yujin knew that Chenguang chose him because he didn't run away immediately that night, obviously he didn't do anything, but then he calmly became her accomplice, and he couldn't even say a decent reason.

Si Yujin couldn't say the reason why he and Chenguang were in trouble, killing his brother and killing his father, he did think about doing it, but this was not enough to be the reason for joining hands with the demon. He wants to get rid of the weak and become the person in power, he has this idea, but again, this idea is not strong, he has stopped the idea of seizing the throne from a very early age, and suddenly he has reborn his ambition, and without many processes, he cannot explode all at once.

So why did he work with Chenguang?

Si Yujin couldn't speak.

Whether he wants to avenge himself who was humiliated when he was a teenager, or wants to make Feng Yingguo strong and re-enter the Central Plains, these desires/desires are not strong enough for him to be willing to succumb to the demon girl and be sent by the other party, and he doesn't even have the right to refute her.

Chenguang didn't tie him down, he could quit at any time, as long as he quit away, he didn't have to be controlled by her anymore.

However, he did not opt out.

Why?

Si Yujin didn't know it herself.

Probably bewitched.

Morninglight lowered her hand from his collar naturally, and she bent her eyebrows like crescent moons.

But Si Yujin felt the strong oppressive force on her body.

On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, it must have been another disgusting bloodbath, and all the disgust actually came from the hands of this beautiful "crescent moon".

She's such a demon, Si Yujin thought.

……

Dead.

Feng Ming Kingdom is humid, and there are many biting flying insects at night, although they will not bite Chenguang's fine skin and tender flesh, but they always fly around in front of him, which makes Chenguang very annoying. Chenguang hated the smell of burning herbs and couldn't order herbs to repel insects, so Si Ba and a few people closed the door and jumped up and down to beat her with insects.

Chenguang thought that they were too noisy when they beat the insects, so he walked out of the room, came to the courtyard, and sat on the grass and vine swing that Si Qian had made for her before.

She shook her feet, shook slowly, and suddenly reached out her hand, put her palm in front of her eyes, and stared at the cyan veins on it in a daze.

The faint, cyan meridians began to swell again, bulging one after another, occasionally making her feel uncomfortable. The uncomfortable feeling made her unable to describe it, but she thought, it probably just hurt.

But she shouldn't be in pain.

Chenguang suddenly felt a little cold in the back of his heart.

A soft coat was draped over her shoulders, and when the morning light turned around, she saw Si Qian's face, she bent her eyebrows and smiled.

"Is Your Highness unwell?" Si Qian knelt down on one knee, looked at her from the bottom up, and asked softly.

"Nope." Chenguang shook his head with a smile.

Si Qian looked at her innocent smile, paused, and continued to ask: "When I was in Yanyun Kingdom, Duanmu Yan diagnosed His Highness again, and that time, what did Duanmu Yan say?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Chenguang replied with a smile, seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, he thought about it and added, "That is to say, I am too thin, I need to eat more delicious things, and the fat ones will have energy." ”

Si Qian's gaze swept over her narrow face, thin shoulders, slender body, it was impossible for her to get fat, she didn't tell him the truth, and it was impossible for Duanmu Yan to say that kind of nondescript diagnosis. Si Qian was a little worried, but he couldn't force her, and after being silent for a while, he spoke in a low voice.

"If Your Highness is unwell, don't hide it from me, I ......" He stopped talking, was quiet for a long time, and said softly, "In short, Your Highness, don't hide it from me." ”

"Hmm!" Chenguang smiled and nodded, and responded very obediently.

"And ...... His Royal Highness forgives his subordinates for trespassing, according to his subordinates, King Lian's city is too deep, just looking at his methods of slaughtering the four major families, his mind is gloomy, and his scheming is full of tricks, this person is not credible. Si Qian reminded in a low voice.

Chenguang tilted his head, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"People are interesting because they have a lot of thoughts, if they don't want to do anything, then it's not interesting, I heard that even pigs have ideas, people can't even be as good as pigs!"

Si Qian was dumbfounded.

"Si Yujin is very interesting." Chenguang said with a smile, "When the blood bat ate his second emperor brother, he obviously felt disgusted, but he watched without blinking. Don't look at him without expression, but his eyes are rich and tight, but then he pretends not to care at all, obviously I avenged him, he feels very happy, and when he says that he will hide it for me, it seems that he is trying to help me, and he wants me to remember his kindness. Everyone is really different, and the things they think and do are completely different. She spread her hands and smiled.

Si Qian was silent.

Chenguang glanced at him, flattened his mouth and said: "Xiao Qian, you can't look like this, at this time you should tell me that what you want and what you do are exactly the same, you have to be loyal to me, so that I can promote you!" ”

Si smiled slightly, and a touch of softness flashed in his gaze as he looked at her.

"I will stay by His Highness's side and protect His Highness whether I am promoted or not, and my loyalty to His Highness will be understood even if I don't say it."

Chenguang pouted: "It's one thing to understand, occasionally I want to hear nice words!" ”

Si Qian was a little helpless, half-hung his head, and said in a low voice:

"Si Qian's mouth is stupid, and he has disappointed His Highness."

Chenguang glanced at him and said with a smile:

"After tomorrow, Xiao Dance will become the biggest palace maid in the palace, and I promised her to be a first-class female official. Si Qi and them, they are from the first product. Si Ba said that she had to take care of many, many little palace maids, many, many, many, because there were not many palace maids in our palace, so I let her take care of them. A few of them are easy to distribute, but you, Xiaoqian, I want to think about it, but I still can't decide. You have been with me for so long, it stands to reason that I should let you be a big official, give you a big house, and help you find a big beauty to be your daughter-in-law, but you are not qualified enough to be a big official, although no one dares to say anything if you insist on appointing you, but if you really do it, it is easy to be excluded by others, and you will be in trouble in the future; It doesn't matter if the house is built, although there is no extra silver to build a house for you now, but it will be built soon, don't worry; As for the daughter-in-law, I will definitely be angry if I look for you for you, and if you want to find it, you will definitely find it, so I won't be nosy. ”

She gushed a bunch of words, and Si Qian's heart was slightly confused.

"Xiaoqian, what do you want?" Chenguang asked with a light smile.

Si Qian raised his head, looked at her, and replied in a low voice:

"Si Qian doesn't want anything, as long as Si Qian can accompany His Highness and protect His Highness."

"No." Chenguang said to him with a smile.

Si Qian's heart sank, and sank heavily, which was not very unexpected, but his heart sank abruptly, suddenly, and a violent feeling of weightlessness choked his breath for a moment.

Chenguang bent his eyebrows, looked at him with a smile, and said softly:

"Xiao Qian, lead the troops for me."

Si Qian looked at her and listened to her:

"If you can return victoriously, no one will make irresponsible comments, and at that time, I can justifiably let you worship the general and be crowned king, and let you become a true national surname."

She said to him in a soft and soft voice, and her voice was like a gurgling warm spring, flowing on people's hearts and making people sink.

Worshipping the king is not an important thing for Si Qian, he has lived in Shengzi Mountain like a walking corpse for nearly twenty years, the glory and wealth that the world desperately pursues are like floating clouds to him, he has no such desire, ambition does not exist in him, and even living or dying makes no difference to people like him who only have gray eyes left, and now, he just wants to keep the ray of warmth and clarity that brings him a glimmer of warmth and clarity in his dark life.

"Okay." He said to her.

Chenguang was pleased with his answer, and she curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

After a pause, she whispered, "Xiao Qian." ”

"Huh?" Si Qian looked at her.

Chenguang wanted to say something, but after looking at him for a while, she didn't say anything, she pursed her lips, shook her head with a grin, and raised her head to look at the sky.

"The moon in the Phoenix Kingdom is also very beautiful." She said softly.

Si Qian followed her gaze and looked at the night sky, tonight the moon hook was like blood, and it was not good-looking.
