Zhehua

Ye Ming City.

The sky is full of stars, and the silver shines brightly.Looking around, the lights of thousands of houses are shining brightly. Even in the night, they are as transparent as daytime. Coupled with the Milky Way entrenched above the head, there is another brilliance.The owner of this city is also the ruler of this country.Based on Ye Ming, the millions of miles extending to the west could be the land of the king.

In the middle of Yeming City, there are majestic palaces, palaces built with pearls, ten miles away, and a piece of phoenix feathers are imprisoned.

"Your Highness, it's late at night." Si Tao called softly from behind. She is not very old, but she is very gentle and considerate. The man took a fancy to her and assigned her to my side.

"It's okay, just wait a little longer, she's coming soon." I turned around and smiled slightly, Si Tao has always been sensible, and knew what would happen if that person came back and got angry if she didn't wait here, and she has never been there since. No more words, Gong Jin lowered his head and stopped talking.

I didn't speak anymore, I have been imprisoned in this temple for more than 2000 days and nights, I have already figured out that person's preferences, and I feel disgusted and tired of it.She doesn't care about these, Phoenix Pan Yu, staying in Ye Ming is enough for her, she will not hurt me, but enjoys torturing the people around me.It seems that the more unhappy I am, the happier she is.But he still wants to give me the most meticulous entertainment arrangements, without losing any tongue.

While thinking, there was a sudden sound of movement from the front hall, and within a moment, it was the servant girl's voice echoing.

"Welcome to the king."

Wang, heh.

Not far away, the man was facing away from Xinghe, and was greeted by thousands of people.She is dressed in silver armor, her brilliance is cold, her eyebrows are like black ink, her eyes are like night, her black hair is high and tied without much decoration, fluttering in the wind under the starlight.She is tall and slender, with a smile on her lips from time to time, but this smile gives people only oppression and a coldness born from the heart.

Unlike her subjects, I bowed my head slightly as a welcome.

Her eyes were shining brightly, she smiled brightly, and walked quickly to me.The next moment I was in her arms.

"Why wait here for so long, the night is so heavy." Her voice came from the top of her hair. Her voice was always low and cold. Even though she was speaking such gentle words, I could feel it from her tone. , she has been pleasing.

I just laughed and said nothing.Her embrace did not make people feel warm, a silver armor was attached to her body, and through the thin fabric, the coldness went straight to the bone marrow.

"Please go to the inner palace to change clothes first, and then it's not too late to talk to Your Highness about the old days." Si Tao spoke from the back at the right time, Yin Taki let me go when he heard the words, and went to the inner palace surrounded by the maidservants.

I still had a shallow and unreal smile on my face, and followed the crowd.

Si Tao is very flexible and clever, and can always cater appropriately. I don't like to talk to Yin Taki. Even if she takes the initiative to talk to me, I just respond lazily. Many times, we rely on Si Tao to transfer words. She is a clever girl who knows how to read her face. I have very little emotion on my face, and she can guess exactly what I want to say, and pass it on to Yin Taki, so I don't bother to speak.Yin Taki acquiesced in this way of communication, but he was tolerant of Si Tao. Even if her words were suspected of being offensive, Yin Taki took it as what I meant, and rarely blamed this little maid.

Yin Taki went down to the inner palace to change clothes surrounded by the maidservants, and I waited in the front hall.

When she came back from a long battle, she naturally wanted to pull me in for a talk. This person is strong and domineering. Even if I don't like to listen, I still need to listen to her read for most of the night.Otherwise, she will get angry, and it won't hurt me, but the crying and howling of the maidservants around me is too miserable, I don't want to hear it again, it's just this small midnight, bear it and pass .

"Ming'er." Yin Taki's voice came from not far away, she was wearing a black dark robe, her figure was tall and straight, the silk brocade material outlined some curves, her long black hair was loosely loose, A few strands are scattered around the neckline, and the collarbone is looming.Her skin is as white as jade, her brows and eyes are like a bright moon, she is cold and deep.Just looking at it this way, it's really charming.

I also smiled and didn't answer, I stood up and bowed slightly to indicate my response.According to the usual practice, she would pull me up and talk for a long time on her own, about her experience on the battlefield, perhaps her expectations for the world, or the individual intentions of her servants.No matter how big or small it is, tell me everything, even the secrets of the previous dynasty.

"You probably don't understand how much I trust you." Yin Taki once said to me like this.

Yes, trust.Speaking of this, I couldn't help being ridiculed on the face. I was imprisoned for more than 2000 days and nights, and I couldn't step out of the Chuiming Palace.Such a person has lost his freedom and has no foreign aid, so he can rest assured.

"In this expedition, I have captured the Mantu border in the west for fifty miles, and I will unify the west in a few days." Yin Taki came up and gently held my hand, saying this, the two of them sat down together.

"Congratulations." The word was soft and sharp, without any emotion.

Yin Taki didn't care about such perfunctory, she said excitedly, her eyes were bright, and the smile on her face was infinitely enlarged when she talked about getting up, like a simple child who came to ask for credit.

But I also know that under this deceptively beautiful appearance, there is no pure heart.

She is scheming, cruel, and moody.

Ever since I came to Chuiming Palace, I have seen with my own eyes countless palace maids who died tragically due to her emotional outbursts.

She likes bright white and clear brilliance, and the outside of the Ming Palace is full of pearls. Even at night, its brilliance is as bright as day, illuminating the entire Yeming City.

Such extravagance once aroused the dissatisfaction of her subjects, and Yin Taki would arrest dozens of them, tie them to the high-temperature desert in the western part of the country, and dry them to death after being roasted. Whenever a mummy was brought back, Yin Taki would take it Come a pearl, adorn the throne.

Later, she often used this method to deal with courtiers who disagreed with her. There were more and more pearls on the throne, accounting for more than half of them. Yin Taki also gave this method of killing people an extremely elegant name, Tianzhu.

Gouchen has been in power for twelve years, and there are 240 pearls on her throne, all of which are the lives of aliens.The political chaos at the beginning of the dynasty was suppressed with iron and blood, and the order of the court was too good.As far as Yinlong is concerned, apart from the lineage of the former prince Si Yao, there is no party member in the court that can threaten Yinlong.

These are all Yin Taki told me, during the countless nights she forced to sleep with me in Suiming Palace.

Yin Taki's style is strong, but it is undeniable that under her rule, the territory of the country has continued to expand, and the country has become increasingly prosperous.However, this method is too cruel after all.If it weren't for Gou Chen being rich and powerful now, and the people living in peace, her style of life would have lost the hearts of the people.

After all, a mortal's heart is always for profit, for himself.

"Mingshu, I used to tell you about me all the time, are you tired of listening too?" Yin Taki whispered suddenly, her voice was clear, it was the ice spring that melted in early spring, slowly leaking into me in my thoughts.

Maybe it was because holding hands was not enough, she leaned forward and hugged me twice, her cheek gently rubbing against the top of my hair, she seemed a little intoxicated.

She said: "What I want to say this time is related to you. During this expedition, I saw your people on the border of Mantu. They were captured by Mantu. The group of barbarians caught Xuanniao and thought it was a descendant of the gods." So I burned them as sacrifices on the front line of the army to pray for the help of the gods." Yin Taki's tone was still cold and flat when he talked about this, but I couldn't stop the chills from my whole body, and she said with a little sarcasm: " However, it is the gods that they killed, so it is really sad to kill the gods to win."

She suddenly changed the topic, and her strength in hugging me also increased slightly. I felt her lower her head and sniff my hair, and her voice became hoarse: "Ming Shu, even if you are born of the same family, you are the prettiest. Yours Clansman, your beauty is not even one ten-thousandth of yours."

I put my hand on her arm, separated her from me, and said calmly: "I am Princess Xuanyu, the phoenix of myriad phoenixes, born under the pilgrimage of all birds. God-given elegance and the ability to show auspiciousness, It’s unique, it’s unique.”

Yin Taki hadn't seen me say so many words for a long time, she looked towards this direction, a layer of cool moonlight spread on her face, which actually took some of the coldness off her whole body.

"When I first met you, you were just a child. At that time, you were already very beautiful, with such a brilliant brilliance that people couldn't take their eyes off." She said, with a touch of sentimentality in her tone.

"Yin Taki." I interrupted her coldly: "You have imprisoned me here for ten years."

"Yes." She stood up in response, turned her back to Yuehui, and raised her hand to trace my face: "You are more beautiful now than before."

Her fingertips were cold, and the contact with the skin brought out a shudder, which aroused even more sadness in my heart.

"If I hadn't been imprisoned by you to leave me for nine days and return to the mortal world, how could my people have been looking for me tirelessly, and finally ended up burning in front of the three armies!" Although I have never witnessed it with my own eyes, I imagined that scene In the hands of ignorant and savage mortals, the noble black bird folded its feathers, and the fire burned me, every inch seemed to be burning on my skin.They were originally my people and deserved to be protected by me, but now they are burdened by me.

"Mingshu." Yin Taki's fingertips stopped at the end of my right eye, as if intending to bring a tear from there, she leaned very close to me, almost greedily read my grief and anger in her eyes: "They will never find you. It's their fault. They don't know how to advance or retreat, and don't know how to give up."

"That's right, how can they be as scheming as you are?" With a flick of my sleeves, I pushed Yin Taki away, and the smile on my lips became cold uncontrollably: "Although they are not human, they value love and loyalty more than humans .Unlike you, whose heart is like a stone."

"Minger." Yin Taki was not angry because of my offense, her expression was calm and cold, and her words were also calm: "Did you forget? You came back with me voluntarily." Her voice was very low, and she was muttering to herself smell.

I can't help but have some doubts.There was an inexplicable feeling in my heart, but I couldn't find the reason.The moon was shining brightly behind her, making Yin Taki a little dark. In the intertwined light of light and dark, I could clearly see the loneliness on her face.She said: "Mingshu, if one day you also stand in my current position, you will understand. But as long as I am in this high position, such a day will never appear."

After saying that, she pushed the door back and went out, the starry sky outside the hall, cold and far away, just like Yin Taki's heart.
