Chapter 16: The Tyrant

The lighting equipment at night in Feng Yingguo is not a candle, but a torch lit with animal fat, Shen Run sits in the stone house with swaying torches, the smell of burning oil is particularly strong, even he will feel a little irritable after smelling it for a long time.

"Your Highness." Fu Li came in from outside, with a solemn and somewhat incredulous face.

"What's the matter?" Shen Run rubbed the corners of his forehead and asked absentmindedly.

"The people who went to the Phoenix Palace heard the news, saying that an hour ago, Emperor Feng Ming had the third princess beaten to death."

"Killed?" The news was too sudden, and Shen Run was taken aback and stunned.

"The people who went to the Phoenix Palace happened to meet the guards who came out of the palace of the three princesses, saying that Emperor Feng Ming was furious and ordered someone to beat the three princesses to death, and the mother of the third princess could not intercede, seeing that her daughter was beaten to death, she went crazy, and wanted to fight with Emperor Feng Ming, and was thrown into the pond by Emperor Feng Ming and drowned." When Fu Li talked about this matter, he also couldn't believe it, not that he was shocked by the two murders, but that Emperor Feng Ming made such a big move when the people of Longxi Kingdom were still there, and Feng Ming Kingdom really didn't want to lose face?

Shen Run didn't speak for a long time, and many things in Feng Ming Kingdom subverted his cognition, first the princess of a country was like a cheap Qing/Lou girl who tried to leave her poor country by selling her hue, and then, as the king of a country, Emperor Feng Ming actually scolded his daughter in public, and staged such a farce on the occasion of the banquet between the two countries, and then killed all his daughters and concubines. The city, cultivation and control of anger are the most basic as a monarch, Emperor Fengming doesn't even have these, he gets angry at will, kills at will, this is already a tyrant, right?

What is going on in the country of Feng Yingguo?

He frowned.

"Your Royal Highness, I heard from the palace people in the palace that Emperor Feng Ming is often like this, since he was a prince, Emperor Feng Ming killed courtiers and hanged concubines, and this is the first time to kill his daughter. The palace people also said that Emperor Feng Ming's body has become worse and worse since more than ten years ago, and his temper is getting more and more strange year by year, tyrannical and murderous, moody, fortunately, Princess Chenguang returned to the palace two years ago, with Princess Chenguang here, Emperor Fengming's temper is much better, this time it is probably the third princess who really angered him. ”

"Princess Chenguang, how's it going?" Shen Run asked suddenly.

"The people from the Phoenix Palace said that the imperial doctor has seen it, and there is no major problem, but it needs to be recuperated." Fu Li replied, paused, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the return day will be postponed." ”

Shen Run was silent for a moment, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the dark palace group, recalled the fire trees and silver flowers in the palace of Longxi Kingdom, and the words of his father to him before departure rang in his ears:

"This time I went to the Feng Ming Kingdom, remember to take a good look at the current situation of the Feng Ming Kingdom, as well as the mine they dug out."

"You go and get something that can be used and send it to the Phoenix Palace, tell the people in the Phoenix Palace, and say that this king will visit the patient tomorrow." Shen Run commanded lightly.

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, wanted to say something but didn't say it, respectfully responded with a "yes" and withdrew.

The night shone through the window and shone on Shen Run's eyes, staining his amber eyes with a hint of darkness. Maybe it's because too much time has passed, or maybe it's because what happened today is a little chaotic, in short, when that stunning little face resurfaces in his mind again, he can no longer remember the innocence and innocence imprinted in his heart when she opened her eyes when she first woke up from a deep sleep, he only remembered that she was the eldest princess of Feng Yingguo.

……

Chengming Palace.

Si Yujin sat under the lamplight and reviewed the recital.

Chenguang leaned against the soft couch opposite him, barefoot, curled up in a ball, gnawing on a boiled bone.

The way she gnawed on the bones seriously affected Si Yujin's concentration, and every time Si Yujin watched her gnaw on the bones, she would inexplicably think of the cubs of the desert wolf.

The head of Tonghua Palace came in to report: "The third princess has stopped working, the second princess and the fourth princess rushed over to see when they heard Xin'er, and the servants stopped them, and Concubine Ming Niangniang was also fished out of the pond and parked in Tonghua Palace." His Majesty went back to the Chunhuan Palace, and did not explain how to deal with the aftermath. ”

He came to test Si Yujin's attitude, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was seriously ill and indulged in women, and it was not an exaggeration for Feng Mingguo to say that His Royal Highness King Lian was covering the sky.

But Si Yujin didn't speak.

"Deal with it as you do." Chenguang spoke, smiling.

The head manager of Tonghua Palace glanced at Si Yujin, and seeing that he had no objection, he responded and retreated.

At this time, Si Yujin suddenly laughed, the laughter was low and beautiful, but because it was in a quiet room, it was a little harsh.

Chenguang glanced at him with a smile: "The third brother is very happy!" ”

"Big sister, do you know why my father dotes on Si Xueying?" Si Yujin was in a good mood, and he talked more, he asked Chenguang with a smile, and without waiting for Chenguang to answer, he said to her, "That's because when Si Xueying was four years old, she met a sand fox cub, and the sand fox suddenly rushed out and scared her, so she let people grab the sand fox, broke the limbs of the sand fox with a stick, gouged out its eyes, and then ordered the fox skin to be peeled off alive." The sand fox is still so small, it has been screaming, it has been stripped of its skin and has not died immediately, it is still crawling there, crawling, blind in two eyes, and has been crawling forward......"

He sneered and said faintly, his dark eyes slightly distorted in the flickering lights.

Chenguang guessed that the sand fox probably crawled towards him, Si Yujin, who had a very weak sense of existence when he was a child, suddenly injured Si Xueying in a violent rage, and the final consequence of this incident was that Concubine Ming executed Si Yujin's biological mother.

Si Xueying likes to abuse and kill, small animals and palace people are the objects of her fun, in her mind, it is just an entertainment game. She inherited Si Yuan perfectly, because she was very similar to Si Yuan when he was young, so Si Yuan doted on her.

Chenguang was not interested in these useless pasts, she threw her bones and licked her fingers.

Si Qian came in from outside, knelt down, presented the two brocade boxes, and said in a low voice:

"King Rong ordered someone to send it, and the person who sent it said that it was too late today, and it was inconvenient for King Rong to come over, and King Rong would come to visit the patient in person tomorrow."

"What sent?" The morning light didn't answer, and asked with a smile.

Huo Wu took it and opened it, and inside were two thousand-year-old ginsengs.

Chenguang stared at the ginseng box for a while, and hooked his lips with a smile:

"Feng Yingguo will never grow such a thing."

"You rejected Yanyun Kingdom's marriage proposal in order to wait for Long Xiguo?" Si Yujin took her eyes off the ginseng and asked suddenly.

Chenguang smiled and did not answer.

"Is there anything you care about, in Longxi Kingdom?" Si Yujin dropped a pair of unpredictable eyes on her face and asked in a low voice.

"I ate people and died, so let's leave this to the third brother to make up for his body." Chenguang said with a smile, put his feet in his soft shoes, stood up, and left.
