call my name

Light and shadow are refracted and interlaced, and a moment looks like a lifetime, the world is chaotic and quiet, and the consciousness is blurred and clear.

And he fell into a deep dream in another time and space.

On the field of martial arts competition, the boy opposite him had faded from his childishness, but he was imposing. He patted his thin shoulder and asked loudly: "Ning Xinghe, are you willing to follow me from now on?"

The hand on his shoulder was warm and strong, and he nodded vigorously without thinking: "Yes."

This is their first encounter.

The second prince, Ji Tianzong, who has won the honor, and Ning Xinghe, the son of the poor family, have a duel in a martial arts match by chance.

Since then, every night when he was exhausted from practicing martial arts, he would recall the scene of that day before going to bed.Day and night, with blood and sweat, he finally earned a way to Ji Tianzong's side and became the guard of the palace.

Although the secret love is bitter yet sweet, it seems more illusory than a dream.Clasping hands, lingering kisses, entrusting everything to each other without reservation...

He always thought that he loved Tian Zong more than Tian Zong loved him; he was willing to do so and was proud of it.

Until he returned from the wounded in the southern border of the imperial kingdom, when he was dying, Tian Zong, who was the emperor of Daying, left the palace in a hurry and fed him his own blood.It was an ancient spell from the South Ruins. The blood donor used his life to help the recipient and was willing to live and die with the recipient, so he survived in the end.

But from then on, Tianzong's life was tied to him, if he died, Tianzong would also die with him.

At a time when the frontiers of the Daying Kingdom were in turmoil and crumbling, it was obviously extremely irrational for Tian Zong to make such a choice as the emperor who was responsible for the foundation of his ancestors and the livelihood of the people.What he entrusted to Ning Xinghe was not only his own life, but also the future of his entire family and country.

Ning Xinghe recalled countless times, if it were him, how would he choose between the life of his lover and the important foundation of the country?

But Tian Zong chose to trust him and believed that he would protect himself.

Only then did he truly understand Tian Zong's affection for him.

This spell cruelly and decisively tested the sincerity of countless lovers in the world, but Tian Zong lightly gave it a lingering name: Lang Yi.

On the day of Tianzong Yujia's personal expedition, the sun was shining, and the silver armor of the young emperor was shining brightly, like a god descending from the earth.Standing on the gate tower, Ning Xinghe looked far away at the departing army, and remembered the poem Tian Zong recited when he was teaching him how to play the piano the day before: "It's as white as dew, and you sprinkle your clothes all the way."

Ning Xinghe, who stayed in the imperial city of Qingdu, was cautious everywhere, lived in the house at home, slept with a sword every night, didn't want anyone to serve him, cooked and washed by himself-his life was not a pity, but even one of his mistakes would affect his life. Heaven's will.

Ning Xinghe always remembers his promise to Tianzong: he will always protect him.

Too bad he still couldn't do it.

The Great Invasion has continued to prosper for hundreds of years, and it has always been open and conquered. The last place to conquer and occupy was Nanxu; and the surviving princess of Nanxu, Qi Luo, was rumored to have obtained Tian Zong's power when he stayed in the old palace of Nanxu. Fortunately, she was finally allowed to enter Da Ying's harem and become a side concubine.This proud princess of subjugated country could not integrate into Da Ying, and the empress even regarded her as a thorn in her side, so Tian Zong had already allowed her to live outside the palace.

Ning Xinghe never asked about Tian Zong's harem.As the emperor looked up to by all the people, it is absolutely impossible for Tian Zong not to marry a wife. After all, the royal family has lasted for hundreds of years, and the succession of children is the top priority.However, Tianzong has no heirs so far, and the officials in the court have been criticized for a long time. Fortunately, the former prince and Tianzong's elder brother left a son behind, so that the whole court would not be overly nervous.

But Qi Luo, who had already left the palace that day, suddenly sent a message asking to see him.She gave a reason why he couldn't ignore it: she found out that she was pregnant with Tianzong's heir, and it was difficult for her to protect herself and her child in the helpless Qingdu, so she asked Ning Xinghe for help.

Weak doesn't mean harmless.Ning Xinghe was vigilant enough, and in order to avoid suspicion, he asked her to come alone, set up a screen in the open courtyard, and separated two seats to talk to her.

Once the head of the palace guards, Ning Xinghe promised to keep her until Tian Zong returned.The woman behind the screen did not say a word of gratitude from beginning to end.

Ning Xinghe reminded her kindly: "Now that you have His Majesty's heir, you should try to get along with other people in the palace softly. From now on..."

Qi Luo laughed coldly: "From now on? There is no future. I have lived until today to avenge the Nanxu Kingdom!"

Ning Xinghe didn't feel good, and immediately got up from his seat, but the world was spinning for a while, and he was so angry that he couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood.

He tried his best to get around the screen, and without hesitation to avoid suspicion, he held Qi Luo down and asked, "How did you poison me?! Take out the antidote, and I will never pursue it!"

Qi Luo laughed and mocked: "You are considered to be careful, but as a general of Daying, you are a little ignorant! Do you think you can be safe in this courtyard through a screen?! We in the South Ruins do this poison call! 'Chidanxin', people who are poisoned will vomit all the blood in their bodies, leaving only one heart. It is colorless and odorless, so you will not be able to detect it; as for how to use it on you, before dying, I might as well tell you frankly -"

Qi Luo laughed without any scruples, stroking her delicately combed hair with her pointed fingers, and her gorgeous smock without a single wrinkle: "I have come to drink this Chidanxin as tea for seven days, and my hair and skin are full of poison. , Stop using the suppressive decoction today, the poison will all evaporate, so even the breath can poison people within seven steps."

Ning Xinghe disregarded the defenses of men and women at this moment, and was so close to her, only then did he realize that her bright red nails were not dyed with flower juice, but a strange color from the inside—is this woman already planning to die with Da Ying? ? !

For the first time in his life, he felt the fear of extinction, and he grabbed her uncontrollably: "The antidote!"

Qi Luo's mouth and nose were bleeding slowly, but she just looked at him mockingly: "General Yumian, try to kneel down and beg me?"

With a plop, Ning Xinghe immediately knelt at her feet: "I can do what you want, please give me the antidote, I don't want to die."

Qi Luo pierced him coldly: "You didn't go to the battlefield with the king, but hid in Qingdu behind closed doors. Others think you are greedy for life, but I know you are not afraid of death—" She smiled triumphantly, and looked down at Ning Xinghe's rapid progress. With a pale face, he said something that made him completely desperate: "What you are afraid of is that the Emperor Daying, Ji Tianzong, will die because of you."

No one other than Xing Ye knew about Tian Zong casting a curse on his tribute blood, and as Tian Zong's bodyguard commander and Ning Xinghe's second younger brother, Hoshino would never reveal such secrets that were fateful and would affect the fate of the country of.

But after all, she was Tian Zong's side concubine, maybe Tian Zong's carelessness during the intimacy made her see the clue?

Ning Xinghe continued to bow his head and crawl at her feet, trying to think of countermeasures, but a sharp pain like a knife and saw had already swept over his heart.

The spell bound Tian Zong to him tightly, even though they were thousands of miles apart at this moment.Since the pain is on him, it will also hurt on Tianzong.

Tian Zong has always been pampered and pampered, the most afraid of pain.

Ning Xinghe's tears fell down—he couldn't think of a way.

Qi Luo smiled triumphantly: "You were seriously injured in the Southern Territory back then, and you only breathed a sigh of relief when you returned to Qingdu, but after he came to visit you, you were able to recover, only the tribute spell of the Southern Ruins can do this. Originally Although I doubt it, I don't believe it. He is a great emperor, but he actually disregarded his family and life for you? I didn't guess the truth until I heard that you didn't follow him in the army. General Ning, how lucky are you, but how unfortunate are you? "

Ning Xinghe held Qi Luo's skirt humbly, and although he realized that the hope was slim, he still tried to persuade her: "You are pregnant with His Majesty's heir, don't you have the heart to hurt—"

Qi Luo admired his struggle, and even though she was bleeding profusely, she seemed to be in a good mood: "You should probably have guessed that I am not pregnant with any heirs! The Emperor Da Ying never touched me at all! Ah, that's not right. He did touch my hair," she couldn't help but raised her hand to stroke her delicately combed bun, as if reminiscing, and smiled; then she lowered her head and stared at Ning Xinghe, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair crown , Ripped off abruptly.

The hair crown was stained with blood from her fingers and rolled to the side. Ning Xinghe, who had experienced many battles, bowed his head and knelt on the ground at this moment, allowing her to be at the mercy of a weak girl.With a long vent, soft and smooth, Qi Luo pulled his loose hair and sneered: "But I know, it's also because he cares about your worries!"

Ning Xinghe didn't care about these things: "The conquest of Nanxu was not what His Majesty wanted, he was only a prince at the time; you know His Majesty has benevolence in his heart, otherwise why would he spare your life in Nanxu and bring you back to the capital for resettlement? You also have affection..."

"Affection?!" Qi Luo laughed loudly, bent over to look at his face, her eyes were terribly red due to bloodshot eyes, and said slowly: "General Ning, it seems that you still haven't understood his affection after all. .Let me tell you, not only has he never touched me, he has never stayed with the queen, and only devotes himself to dealing with government affairs every day. Being an emperor is really hard work, and even I have to sympathize—"

"I guess it's because he's only emotional for you." Qi Luo paused every word: "He has such deep affection for you that he doesn't even care about his children."

"He was on guard against me enough to make me leave the palace early." She continued to smile, appreciating the pain on Ning Xinghe's face: "But you are so stupid, you can be easily fooled by me, in fact, you can ask him directly, what is the matter?" Have you ever been intimate with the concubine in the palace? It's a pity, you, you have never really understood his intentions."

Ning Xinghe knelt down on the ground, unable to speak any more, the pain like shattering bones did not know whether it was due to the poison or the convulsion of the heart.

Qi Luo was very satisfied with his painful appearance, shook his head slightly, and expressed regret: "Now you are going to die, since he put his life in your hands, he will die because of you. Think about it, the pain you are suffering now, Everything will be on him! Hahaha! He will die on the battlefield immediately, and now it is finally Daying's turn to taste the pain of our country's destruction in the South Ruins!"

Qi Luo's face was covered with blood, and there was hideousness in the poignant beauty: "——this is all because of you! How about it, do you regret not simply dying in the southern border?"

She shook off Ning Xinghe and stood up straight with difficulty. She didn't know whether it was ridicule or sigh: "What a loving couple who live together and die together! It's a pity that even if you die, you can't die by his side, but you can only die by your enemy." Next to the corpse!"

Ning Xinghe no longer entangled with her, gathered his strength, stumbled towards the gate of the house, and shouted: "Come on! Go tell the imperial doctor!"

Qi Luo turned around and stood facing the south, muttering the language of Nanxu, and finally fell down softly.Blood soaked her robe, and she closed her eyes in the sun, with an unknown smile on her lips.

The onset of toxicity was rapid, and Ning Xinghe couldn't hold on before reaching the door, and fell to his knees.There was only one old servant who cleaned the courtyard at home, and finally heard the noise and saw it, and rushed to help him.Ning Xinghe pushed him away, and desperately urged: "I have been hit by the Chixin Pill from Nanxu, go to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to bring the best antidote!"

The old servant went out in a hurry, and the surroundings fell silent.Ning Xinghe prostrated himself on the ground, tried his best to seal his inner breath under the severe pain, but the blood still slowly overflowed from his mouth and nose, staining his left cheek stuck on the slate brick.

It would have been nice if he had died in the southern border... Although Tian Zong would grieve for him for a while, he would eventually cheer up and become the master of ZTE.

Why didn't he want to die in the southern border, and insisted on coming back to see him with a sigh of relief? !

But now you can't die, you can't die.

Heaven...

Blood smeared his mouth and nose, making it difficult to breathe.He tried his best, lying in a pool of blood, holding his breath, waiting for rescue.

There seemed to be the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from a distance, but it was getting dark before his eyes. He seemed to see the battlefield in the western region, amidst thousands of troops and horses, that silver-white figure who was as heroic as a god descending from the earth and as flawless as a holy lotus suddenly emerged from it. The war horse fell.

Chi Xin Dan is really heart-wrenching.

God, I still let you down.
