Chapter 163: The dilemma of loyalty and righteousness since ancient times
After the fall of the Nightshade War, he pinched Bo Yuan unconscious in a fit of rage, and later, it was Ruoli who brought him back to the Xiaguang Palace.
As soon as Bo Yuan sobered up, he tried to find the fan again to talk about it, he didn't want the fan to misunderstand him, and he couldn't tolerate not having her by his side, even if she had already fallen into the devil's way, Bo Yuan had to do everything possible to pull her back.
However, the queen of heaven had already taken precautions, not only took away Fu Yi and Nirvana Qin while he was unconscious, but also laid an enchantment outside his dormitory, blocking Bo Yuan's way.
Bo Yuan also wanted to break the shackles and rush to the side of the fan, but because his divine power was limited by the enchantment, he couldn't help it at all.
If you can't get out, what should you do if you hold the fan?
Zhifan will always instinctively protect him first in a critical moment, but every time Zhifan needs him, Boyuan has not been able to accompany her.
That's how it was when I cut my heart, and it's like this time!
Bo Yuan was about to be driven crazy by his own thoughts, as if he was about to break through the shackles with his own flesh and blood, his fist smashed against the wall again and again. But it was smashed until the back of the hand was blurred, the wall was only a little dented, and the enchantment was not shaken for half a minute.
Bo Yuan slid weakly against the wall and sat on the ground, slapped himself hard, and scolded himself: "Bo Yuan, you are a waste!"
Three days have passed, but Bo Yuan has never been able to get out of his dormitory. For him, these three days were longer than the previous 3,000 years, after all, it was not pleasant to know that his lover was in exile but could not do anything about it.
Bo Yuan was suffering in self-blame and pain all the time, but he didn't do anything to hurt himself, and even after calming down, he thought of many things.
Bo Yuan found Xiannan Peak only after the emperor gave him the hanging mirror, but the Queen of Heaven followed closely behind, sending 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to encircle and suppress the Stygian Night, so carefully deployed, it must have been planned for a long time.
And the only person who knew that he would go to Xiannan Peak was the emperor, who was afraid, this was the trap set by the emperor and the queen of heaven, the purpose of which was to eradicate the night at the same time, even he and the fan were dismantled.
And Ruoli, as his divine servant, did not fight side by side with him, but became the one who led the battle for the queen of heaven. Was he forced to do this or was there something else going on?
Bo Yuan has always wanted to ask Ruoli to understand, but in the three days he was trapped, Ruoli has not appeared once, and even the Heavenly Soldier Xian'e of the Xiaguang Hall said that he has not seen Ruoli for two or three days.
"Someone."
Bo Yuan gave an order, and immediately a heavenly soldier appeared outside the dormitory, and across the barrier, he respectfully held his sword at him: "Your Highness, what do you command?"
"When you go to the Luanhe Temple to meet the queen of heaven, you will say that Your Highness has something to discuss with her in person, so go quickly!"
"Yes!" The heavenly soldiers respectfully received the order, and left the Xiaguang Hall after answering.
Shortly thereafter, Wakali, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared outside the barrier.
Bo Yuan's cold eyes swept towards him, and he said in a cold tone, "If you leave, don't you have anything to explain to His Highness?"
Ruoli knelt on the ground with a thud, and his once cold eyes were now full of sorrow, and he said, "Your Highness, your subordinates know that with your wisdom, you must have guessed a thing or two."
"No, Your Highness thinks I've never understood you." Bo Yuan denied it, and looked at Ruoli with a faint detachment in his eyes.
Ruoli naturally noticed it, but now that the matter has developed, he has nothing to hide, so he simply said bluntly: "That's right! You were only a few days old when the Nightshade planted me in your consciousness, so how could you understand me?"
Bo Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
Ruoli continued as if he didn't know it, "Your Highness, do you know that your subordinates are not your companion beasts at all, but the eyeliner that Nightshade has placed beside you."
"What did you say?" Bo Yuan couldn't say whether he was disappointed or angry, but he felt that this incident was too shocking, completely subverting his perception of Ruoli, "You say it again?"
"Your Highness, my subordinates have always known that they don't
is your companion beast, but after so many years of getting along, you are good to your subordinates, and your subordinates have all seen it.
In the hearts of my subordinates, you are my unique master, and even if your subordinates die, they will not betray you. But the Nightshade has given me the grace to save my life, and I can't repay it."
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Bo Yuan was a little impatient, after all, Ruoli was standing with the Heavenly Immortals three days ago, watching the fall of the Styx Nightchen and being indifferent, but now he came to tell him that he wanted to repay the favor, isn't it a big joke?
"My subordinates know that these words sound ridiculous, but they are also true. I am not your companion beast, the fan is your companion, her true body is a forgetful grass, and she is the sister of the night."
"It's nonsense, if the fan is the companion of His Highness, how can it be the sister of the Nightshade?" Bo Yuan stared straight into his eyes with a look of disbelief.
Ruoli didn't know where to explain it better, so he could only tell everything he knew: "After the Emperor of Heaven stripped me out of your divine sense, the Emperor immediately sensed that something was wrong, because before that, he had only peeled off the fan for a few days, so he clearly knew that I was bored, but he didn't say anything, and just let me grow up to three hundred years old. Z.br>
When I was three hundred years old, Nightshade gave me my first mission, and he asked me to send a silver snake that he had fed with elixir for three hundred years to the plane tree in the Fanyun Palace, and it was then that I was caught by the Emperor."
Although Bo Yuan was surprised, he was gradually brought into it, and he asked, "What is the use of the Nightshade letting you release poisonous snakes?"
"When I was young, I was very naughty, and from time to time I would climb the plane tree to steal birds' eggs, and the purpose of Nightshade was to let me release poisonous snakes just to bite her."
"Why did he do that?" Bo Yuan asked again.
"I don't know much about this, but I just remember that the emperor's reaction was very strange. He grabbed the snake and, after examining it carefully, put it back on the sycamore tree. The emperor didn't embarrass me, but just told me to stay by your side, and then sent me out of Fanyun Palace.
I thought this was the end of the matter, but it wasn't until the Emperor found me again a few months ago that I realized that things were far from being as simple as I thought."
Bo Yuan's curiosity was successfully aroused, and he asked, "What is the emperor looking for you?"
Recalling that period of time, Ruo Li's expression was also very dazed, he remembered very clearly, it was what happened before Bo Yuan went to Fanyun Palace to get the elixir.
At that time, the emperor avoided everyone's eyes and found Ruoli, and said to him, "The Nightshade will soon make a move against your Royal Highness, if you don't want to be caught in the middle, everything must be arranged by the deity."
Ruoli didn't think about it, and asked rhetorically, "Where is this Emperor? His Highness was born, and the night was shocked by its divine power and disappeared for three thousand years, how could he dare to make a move against His Highness? Besides, I am the divine servant of His Highness, and if they really fight, I will definitely stand on His Highness's side, so why should I be in a dilemma?"
The emperor glanced at him meaningfully: "Okay, don't pretend, the deity already knows your identity, you are the eyeliner that Nightshade placed next to His Highness the Nine, right?"
Ruoli panicked in his heart, but he didn't forget to quibble: "The emperor said with a smile, looking at the entire Nine Heavens, who doesn't know that I am the companion beast of the Nine Highnesses? Emperor, you haven't walked out of Fanyun Palace for too long, and you don't know about it, right?"
"What a smart companion beast, if it weren't for the deity himself peeling off the companion spirit of the Nine Highnesses, I'm afraid I would really be deceived by you." The emperor's tone was brisk, and there was no reproach in his words, and he even showed a little praise.
"I...... I don't understand what you're saying?"
"The companion spirit of His Highness Nine is a Forget-me-Forget Grass, and as soon as he was born, the deity stripped the Forget-me-Forget Grass from His Ninth Highness's soul consciousness and raised it by his side. Therefore, the deity knows better than anyone that there are no other companion spirits or companion beasts in the soul consciousness of the Nine Highnesses."
Ruo staggered back a few steps, until his palm touched the jade table, and then he barely held on to the edge of the table. He thought that as long as he hid it well enough, he wouldn't
Someone found out that he was an imposter companion beast, but he didn't want to, the emperor already knew everything. He asked, "Why didn't the emperor expose me, since he already knew about it?"
"You are not treated well by the demon clan, but you have to be rescued by the dark night, and you have become the companion beast of the Nine Highnesses by mistake, this is your chance, and it is also your blessing, why does the deity want to expose you?"
"Aren't you worried that I will be bad for Your Highness?" Ruoli asked again.
"Nightshade is not worried that you will defect, so how can the deity have such a worry?"
Ruoli was stunned for a long time before he reacted again, and he asked, "Emperor, will the Nightshade really hurt His Highness?" I always felt that he was not a wicked person."
The emperor let out a long sigh, "How can there be one or two things to judge about good and evil in the world? You are a person who values love and righteousness, and the deity believes that you will definitely not do anything to harm His Highness the Nine. But since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma, even if you don't want to, Nightshade will not take your feelings into account. If one day, Nightshade orders you to kill the Ninth Highness, how should you choose?"
"Your Highness and I are like brothers, even if I kill myself, I won't hurt him even a bit." If you blurt it out.
"And if they're going to end up on the opposite side, how can you help each other?"
"If that's the case, I'd rather sit on the sidelines and not help each other?"
"If you are caught in it, you have to choose?" The emperor's questions became more and more tricky, Ruoli's face became more and more ugly, he was silent for a long time, and evasively chose to ask rhetorically, "How can the emperor see that there will be such a day?"
"There's no need to be in a hurry to deny the deity, the deity didn't come today to ask you for an answer. The deity just wants to remind you that in a few days, the Nightshade will find you again, and it will not be too late for you to decide whether or not you want to cooperate with the deity!"
