Chapter 54: The Demon in My Heart
After three rounds of wine, the moon has gone to the middle of the sky, there are many good words and compliments like waves and sands, singing and dancing constantly, but the musician is close to the end of the song.
At this moment, it is also a time when I am drunk, my interest is high, the wine is hazy, and I am staggered, and I am beginning to show my true nature.
Even Shangguan Ye, who was difficult to get drunk, began to be slightly hazy and drunk, and those who could still maintain clarity during the period were probably left with female relatives who should not drink too much.
Murong Qiufeng's gaze stayed on Shangguan Ye for almost half of the time, watching him come without refusal, cup after cup, his eyes began to show a little worry, on the one hand, he was worried that he was drunk, and on the other hand, too much wine would hurt his body.
Last time, he also asked Yang Bo to know why Shangguan Ye was like that after being drunk.
Although Shangguan Ye is now the only prince of Yanguo, it is not because of his noble status, but because he really relies on his own hard work.
The first emperor has more than two sons, and Shangguan Ye is not a son who is expensive by his mother.
The emperor had a total of twenty-one sons and fifteen daughters, and the inner courtyard of the palace was still very lively at that time, but in this excitement, there was more death.
Shangguan Ye's mother, Concubine Liang, was also born in a famous family, and everyone was beautiful, but she later fell into the middle of the family and became an entertainer, who was liked by the emperor and included in the harem.
But because of the emperor's favor and her own cowardly and disinclined character, she was frequently secretly bullied, and finally even the emperor began to alienate her, and finally ended up in a cold palace with candle tears, and her face became more and more withered.
The love of the emperor is like a phantom cloud, and the new people in the palace are constantly replacing the old people every day, but they can't see through it.
And Shangguan Ye did not return to his mother after Concubine Liang was snubbed at the age of two, and was always taken by the queen, only occasionally letting him visit once or twice.
It's just that every time I go, I don't get even a caring smile, all I see is a haggard face and lifeless eyes, as well as a sickly body full of scars.
Every child is closer to his mother, probably because of the soft feeling in the womb, Concubine Liang's disregard does not stop Shangguan Ye's love for his mother, he is like ordinary children, he always looks forward to the day when his mother can see him, for this reason, he works hard to make himself stronger.
Concubine Liang's days of being bullied did not end with being left out in the cold, but became more and more bullied, whether it was a concubine or a subordinate, she could be bullied at will, because she knew that even if she was bullied to death, she would not say it.
Concubine Liang's sorrow is mostly caused by her character.
Finally, when Shangguan Ye was eight years old, Concubine Liang finally died of Xiangxiaoyu, and the cause of death was said to be a long-term illness, but everyone knew why she died.
At that time, Shangguan Ye already understood the way of the court, his mind was mature, and he was bullied on weekdays, but his temperament was not like Concubine Liang at all, he would endure it, but he didn't seem to be afraid, but waited for the opportunity, and his personality slowly changed with the death of Concubine Liang.
And in the future, the concubines and princes who lost all their lives at his hands can illustrate this point.
The lively palace back then seemed to have fallen silent in an instant, the struggle for the throne, fratricidal warfare, and the death of people every day were also common, but except for the first emperor, no one knew that these were all controlled by Shangguan Ye.
At the age of ten, he was already a powerful minister, and at the age of twelve he was killed and went to the battlefield with the army, but it was like letting a fish into the sea, and in just three years, he had relied on his wisdom and strength to master his own soldiers and make his own reputation.
If it weren't for the wisdom of the former emperor, who laid the last trap for him and got a chance to trade, this country is not something that the current emperor can sit on.
Before his death, the former emperor once sighed that he had single-handedly cultivated a demon, because everything about Shangguan Ye was deliberately caused by the first emperor, but later he deviated from his original idea, which was irreparable.
And Shangguan Ye, only he on the battlefield is the real him, and he who releases all the demonic nature is the real him, and he no longer suppresses the cruelty in his temperament.
It is said that he changed his temperament after being drunk, but it is better to say that his temperament is exposed after drinking, and his hand is sharp, and one look can determine the life and death of tens of millions of people, without too much thought, just by preference.
Murong Qiufeng's appearance is a variable, but I don't know if it is Shangguan Ye's variable or his, the difference between the two personalities is not just a little bit, they are simply opposite two extremes.
But Yang Bo saw a hope in it, he hoped that Murong Qiufeng could pull the prince out of hell, even if he couldn't bring it out, he could be by his side to see life and death, and not let him die alone and crazy in the end.
Maybe it's a little selfish, but in the world, who can really be selfless.
Most of Murong Qiufeng's attention fell on Shangguan Ye, while most of the others' eyes had been on him.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the current Murong Qiufeng is not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding in temperament.
He is like a piece of natural jade, clean and pure, unshaped, like a snow-white pearl in a plate of brilliant gold, unique, restrained, but eye-catching.
The cleaner the person, the more he attracts the greed in the hearts of those who climb in the dark, because if they have done evil for too long, they will always want to get a salvation.
Shangguan Ye was silent, taking in all the people's eyes and thoughts.
Shangguan Ye's dissatisfaction would not explode immediately, what he did was always the most terrifying revenge after that, and it flew like a cloud.
If it weren't for Yun Feiyang's several layers of identity to protect him, it is estimated that there is no one named Yun Feiyang in this world now.
The cruelty in my heart, today, is ready to move again, just like a demon who has been locked up for a long time, slowly breaking free from the shackles, but this time, it is only for one person.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er has something to say." At this banquet with their own thoughts, the dancing Ayara blinded everyone's eyes, and this clear and translucent voice made everyone suddenly shake their spirits, and they all turned their heads to look at the girl who stood up and spoke.
The girl's beauty is different from Murong Qiufeng, more sweet and smart, if Murong Qiufeng is a jade that is bright and restrained but makes people unnoticed, then this girl is a radiant and dazzling gem, smiling and smiling, unconsciously grabbing everyone's thoughts and eyes.
The emperor smiled slightly and nodded, "The seventh princess doesn't need to be restrained, she has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”
Zhao Xi is beautiful, but the emperor doesn't have the slightest thought about her, this girl can only be seen from a distance for him, not because of how unique and excellent she is, but because he understands all kinds of mysteries.
The emperor is not stupid, he can be in power by Shangguan Ye's side for so many years without being turned into a puppet, which fully shows his wisdom, he loves beauty, but he is not blind, otherwise Murong Qiuyun would have been included in the palace a long time ago.
would take a fancy to Murong Qiufeng, who was dressed as Murong Qiuyun, but he didn't really see it, but just tested Shangguan Ye and wanted to catch his weaknesses. Of course, it was also because of the clarity, indisputability, and softness of Murong Qiufeng's eyes, like the light invested in the silent night.
And Zhao Xiru, like a proud phoenix, ambitious, scheming, such a person, if he is included in the palace, it will only bring disaster to himself, such a woman, willful but also smart, scheming, but also without great wisdom, such a person is terrible, because it will invisibly create trouble, but he doesn't know it.
