Pluto's Golden Apple

Qi Lie looked at Qi Sen who was growing up day by day, and his heart was full of pride.My own son has been extremely outstanding since he was a child, and maybe when he grows up, he can become a god who has made more achievements than himself and make contributions to the underworld.

"My lord, Your Majesty is here."

Ji Lie was startled, why did His Majesty come here suddenly?He hurried out to pick him up.

His Majesty was outside with a smile on his face and didn't come in.

"Your Majesty is late to greet you, I hope His Majesty will forgive you."

Pluto personally helped him up, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Ming Fu is very polite. I came here this time to let Master Ming Fu teach Yi'er."

At that time, Shu Yi was only 7 years old, and he looked at Qi Lie with a pair of curious eyes.

"Yi'er, Master Ming Fu will be your master from now on." Ming Wang said with a smile, looking at the child who was leading him.

Shu also hurriedly saluted: "Student salutes master."

Ji Lie dared not accept the prince's gift, so he hurriedly supported Shu Yi: "Your Highness, you are welcome."

Ji Lie was puzzled, Prince Hades had many heirs, and Shu Yi was born of an extremely inconspicuous concubine. It stands to reason that he should not be favored. Why did His Majesty Hades personally bring Shu Yi here today?He hadn't even seen Shu Yi several times.

"Your Majesty, I have a doubt about what to say or not."

Pluto laughed: "I know what Mingfu means. Yi'er, go play inside, and let father and Mingfu talk alone."

Shu Yi hurriedly saluted respectfully, and was led by Xiaoxian into the mansion.

"Aiqing wants to ask the widow, why Yi'er?"

Qi Lie nodded: "Your Majesty is clearly aware."

Pluto laughed, feeling extremely relieved: "Among the many sons of the widow, Yi'er is my favorite. He is smart and courageous. If Mr. Ming Fu cultivates him well, I believe he will not disappoint the widow in the future."

Lie suddenly realized the weight of these words. His Majesty Pluto clearly implied that Shu Yi would be the prince of the underworld, and he couldn't help being shocked.Pluto's eldest son is over 16 years old, and he is quite popular in the court. He always thought that Pluto would be the eldest prince.On weekdays, Pluto always asked him to tutor the eldest prince and several older princes, but he never expected that His Majesty would entrust Shu Yi, who was only 7 years old, to him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

"Very good, then Yi'er will be handed over to you, and let him live in the Mansion from now on. From then on, you will treat Yi'er like your own son and teach him carefully." Pluto left very satisfied.

Ji Lie wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked into the mansion.

I saw that Shu Yi was having fun with Chi Sen, and the two children seemed to hit it off very well.Chi Sen is two years older than Shu Yi, so Shu Yi chased Chi Sen and shouted: "Brother Chi Sen, brother Chi Sen, wait for me."

Qi Lie walked over with a smile, but unexpectedly the prince was very polite, he immediately said respectfully: "The student has met the master."

Qi Lie hurriedly told him not to be too polite, fearing that he would be afraid of unfamiliarity at the beginning, so he comforted him: "Your Highness, Your Majesty entrusted you to your servants, and I hope that your Highness will not be restrained. From now on, His Highness will live in Chi's Mansion forever."

Shu Yi was very happy to hear that, in Hades, there are not many brothers and sisters who are willing to play with him, and he often finds it very boring. When he arrives in Hades, at least he can play with brother Sisen.

"Let's go, I'll take you to catch crickets." Chisen was also happier, now that he finally has a companion for reading, it's also fun for two people to be together.

Chi Lie looked at Shu Yi, who was still very immature, and fell into deep thought.Your Majesty, do you really intend to appoint him as Ming Chu?

It wasn't until later that he personally tutored him to study, that Lie really understood why His Majesty Pluto had such ardent hopes for this prince.Shu Yi is indeed as Pluto said, extremely intelligent and hardworking, without the arrogance of the other princes.Although Shu Yi is young, he is very polite. In the Mansion, he respects himself very much, as well as the little fairies who serve him.Thinking about it, I feel a little distressed. People often say that they are arrogant because they are favored. Those older princes are all from the queen of the underworld and the imperial concubine, so they often feel that they are noble.A child like Shu Yi is naturally careful in everything in the underworld, being gentle and polite so that he won't be embarrassed too much.

Lie found that Shu Yi was not only intelligent, but also had his own unique insights into some things.

Qi Lie once asked him: "What does His Royal Highness think the underworld lacks today?"

Ten-year-old Shu Yi thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "Perhaps there is a lack of a strict Pluto."

Ji Lie was taken aback, looked around, but there was no one else, so he asked, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

Shu also thought for a while: "My father is benevolent, so he governs gently. My master taught me the history of the underworld, and let me know that several generations of kings in the underworld have been so benevolent. But long-term benevolence will make the gods below slack. After several dynasties of gentle rule, it needs to be a little tougher."

Lie thought about it, and felt that Shu Yi was only 10 years old, but he could understand what was on his mind.Indeed, Pluto is kind and gentle, and his gloomy face does not have too much majesty. Under his rule, the underworld looks fine, but inside it is a little loose.Moreover, he once experienced the rebellion of the kings, which affected the entire underworld a lot.

Chi Sen, who was listening on the side, laughed, causing Chi Lie and Shu Yi to look sideways.

"Sen'er, don't be rude." Ji Lie felt a little helpless, he knew that his son and Shu Yi were as close as brothers, so he had to remind him to keep a distance from Shu Yi, after all, Shu Yi might be the same in the future. Pluto.The person closest to Pluto is often the most dangerous, and he doesn't want his son to make Shu Yi fearful.

"Why is brother Ji Sen laughing like this?" Shu Yi was not annoyed, but also laughed.

"Little boy, what you said is reasonable, but if you become the king of Pluto, can you be strict in governing?" Chi Sen often listened to his father's teachings, so he naturally knew that Pluto had a heart to favor Shu Yi, but Shu Yi didn't know it himself. That's all.

At that time, Shu Yi was not tall, he was a small person, and he had a very good-looking smile. The outside world often discussed why Pluto gave birth to such a good-looking son with a gloomy face.Chi Sen didn't believe in Shu Yi's argument in his heart, because he knew that the future Pluto would most likely be Shu Yi.

Shu Yi thought about it carefully, and then smiled slightly: "If it's just me, I might not be able to do it. Every successful emperor has a good general who can be reused. , so that we can work together to govern the underworld.”

Shisen laughed happily when he heard that.Lie couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat when he heard this. What the two children said between them didn't realize how dangerous it would be if it was spread out.Although Pluto is kind, he is also suspicious by nature. I am afraid that Shu will be murdered if he does not become Pluto.

But Ji Lie miscalculated Pluto's preference for Shu Yi.That year, Pluto insisted on letting Shu Yi, who was only 14 years old, be the prince of the underworld, and even threatened that he would never change his original intention.This caught many gods in the court by surprise. They have been fawning over a few older princes. How could they have thought that His Majesty would be so unexpected?In order to express his feelings, Pluto even made those princes who might threaten him directly crowned kings, and let them go to his own fiefdom, which meant to directly cut off their thoughts.What's even more frightening is that Pluto actually killed some courtiers who firmly opposed Shu Yi's appointment as the underworld prince.This incident shocked the Three Realms back then.

However, Shu Yi's outstanding performance did not disappoint the gods. After he became the prince of the underworld, not only did he not feel arrogant, but he was more diligent and studious. Not only was he academically insightful, knowledgeable, but also superb in magic , Gradually surpassed his master.

However, Shu Yi has always lived in the Mansion, which he strongly requested.

"Little boy, it's interesting to show you the new magic technique I learned today." Chi Sen walked over with a smile.

After all, Shu Yi is still a child, and he is used to being gentle, humble and polite in front of adults, but he actually wanted to put on airs in front of Chi Sen, to tease him, but Shu Yi put on a straight face, pretending to be unhappy : "Bold, I am the Chu Chu, and you are disrespectful to me."

Chi Sen was startled, and instead of being afraid, he burst out laughing. At the end of the laugh, Lian Shuyi couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed along with him.

"Qi Sen, why aren't you afraid of me?" Shu Yi no longer calls him Brother Ji Sen, after all, he is indeed a master of the underworld, if these titles are not changed, it will easily bring a lot of trouble to Ji Sen.

Chi Sen patted his head with a smile, the facial features of the boy in front of him were more open and more handsome, he was wearing a dark blue long gown, and he looked extraordinarily delicate.It's just that he is a little shorter and looks a little weak. "Because you will always be Xiaoyi, how can I be afraid of Xiaoyi?" At this moment, Chisen's eyes are full of love and pity.

"Then you have to remember what you said today. One day, all the gods will be afraid of me, fear me, and you must not forget that I have always been Xiaoyi."

"Okay, pull the hook." The two teenagers held up their little fingers in the setting sun. At that moment, Chi Sen's heart throbbed inexplicably.

He never called him His Highness, he always called him Xiaobudian, Xiaoyi, and he always smiled at him.Until one day, he suddenly stopped being like this, and when he saw him, he would salute respectfully and call him His Majesty meekly.At that moment, Shu Yi had indescribable feelings in his heart, both a bit happy and excited, but also a bit sad.

Before the succession ceremony, he was going to move out from the Chi family.Chi Sen watched his guards rushing about from afar, his eyes full of sadness.

"Zi Sen." Shu Yi didn't know when he came around behind him, maybe he was too focused on those little fairies who were packing up, so he didn't even feel it.

"See Your Majesty." Chi Sen knelt down.

Shu Yi helped him up with a bit of sadness, with a wry smile on his face: "Qi Sen, why don't you call me a little kid?"

Chi Sen's nose was sore, he looked at Shu Yi, he really didn't know when, Shu Yi had already grown taller than him, and he could no longer call him small.

"Qi Sen, will you be loyal to me?" Shu Yi turned his back and asked a meaningful question.

"Qi Sen will be loyal to His Majesty until death." Chi Sen kowtowed.

Shu Yi nodded slowly, apparently he was quite satisfied with the answer, he still wanted to continue to tease Chi Sen, so he asked: "Then, if I set up a prince in the future, after I pass away, will you be loyal to him? "

In Shu Yi's eyes, it was just a joke, but in Chi Sen's ears, it was extremely sad.How much he wanted to tell him that he was only willing to be loyal to him alone.

"The subject is a minister of the underworld, so he will naturally be loyal to His Majesty Hades."

Shu Yi frowned, and his words were a little displeased: "No."

Chi Sen raised his head and looked at him in surprise, the eyes of the two met at this moment, both of them seemed to have something to say, but they didn't say it.

"No. You can only be loyal to me alone. If I die, you will come to accompany me and not live alone." Shu Yi was half joking and half joking, blinking at him, showing an extremely beautiful smile.

Chi Sen only felt the pain in his heart, but he was a little happy for some reason. Perhaps, Shu Yi was different to him after all. He didn't speak, but kowtowed silently.

From then on, he is the Pluto revered by all gods, and he is the underworld minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people.It's just that he has been hiding it from everyone, secretly loving him for a long time.

He has changed, he has become strict, and he has become iron-blooded. He has really achieved what he envisioned at the beginning. Under his leadership, the underworld has become extremely prosperous and powerful like never before.There has never been a rebellion again, and all the gods in the underworld respect and love him from the bottom of their hearts.Chisen watched his changes day by day, and did all kinds of things for him day by day, including assassination, and participating in the cultivation of Ming Xun. Chisen became the person he trusted the most.But he has been avoiding the different look in Qi Sen's eyes.

On the day of Shu Yi's wedding, Chi Sen could feel that he was really happy, as if he had returned to his carefree childhood, that serious Pluto, who was just an immature child, his eyes were clear and innocent, full of a trace of curiosity.

His heart felt like a knife was twisted, but he still had to force himself to put on a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Shu Yi was in a good mood, and helped him up personally: "Qi Sen, when did you fall in love with a girl from a certain family, tell me, I will offer you a marriage, even if I go to match you personally, it's okay."

The corner of Chi Sen's mouth raised, does he know what's on his mind?It seems that only if I keep myself busy, I won't have time to think wildly and feel sad alone.

"Your Majesty, Chisen requests to stay near the Underworld, which is the weak link in my underworld. Your Majesty hopes to help His Majesty." If you don't leave, your heart may be broken here.

Shu Yi frowned, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Yes, you have to take care of yourself, and I will call you back if something happens."

The moment he walked out of the hall, he felt really relieved.

It has been a few years since I saw Shu Yi again.He had never seen Shu Yi look so haggard, that handsome face seemed to be covered with many shadows.He was never as happy as he used to be, and his eyes were cloudier than before.

"Your Majesty, your subject is back." Chi Sen kowtowed to him a few times with tears streaming down his face.

"I'm back, I'm back, that's good." Shu Yi said, the whole person suddenly closed his eyes, maybe he was too tired, or maybe he was so sad that he had been suffering like this, and finally couldn't help it at this moment.

Chi Sen knelt down, weeping all the time, and promised in his heart that I will help you guard the country of the underworld, and maybe you can temporarily forget the pain when you are successful in politics.

But he was wrong, and Shu Yi never recovered his smile after that, and he was very serious every day, which made the gods below a little scared.It wasn't until Jue Leng came back that Ji Sen was pleasantly surprised to find that Shu Yi liked to sneer at Jue Leng very much, and that demeanor was somewhat similar to his happy smile when he was a child.But he knew the reason, maybe it was because Jue Leng was very similar to her.

He once promised Shu Yi that he could only serve him alone in this life, but he couldn't do it after all.He hoped that Shu Yi could forgive Jue Leng, Huan Rou, and another betrayal in his opinion. He always felt that Shu Yi lived too tired, too bitter and too painful.

But I was exhausted and couldn't say anything.

Shu Yi seemed to be crying, and he was still a little sad. The past scenes kept flashing in his head. He helped Shu Yi who had fallen, and wiped off the dirt on his body; he accompanied Shu Yi to the battlefield and committed suicide himself. A thug who endangers the stability of the underworld; he puts on an exquisite crown for Shu Yi, and from then on he and he can only be monarchs and ministers; It's because of myself.

Everything doesn't matter anymore, even though I failed to fulfill my original promise and was only loyal to him alone, Shu Yi should be happy. Only when Shu Yi is absolutely happy can Shu Yi get real happiness.If there is really such a thing as an afterlife, he really wants to become a woman, so maybe he won't be so embarrassed.

Shu Yi hugged him until he turned into a wisp of green smoke, unable to catch him no matter what.The person who said he had been helping him to protect him had left before him in the end.He seems to be the only one who hasn't betrayed himself.But how could he not understand the affection in his eyes?

He remembered that day, when he was still a bright boy, he sneaked out of Hades to take a bath in a fairy river. The water in the river was clean and cool, which made him feel extremely comfortable.Chisen may have been ordered to come out to find him, and followed his divine power to find this place.

How could he forget that the moment he landed, Chi Sen's face was flushed with blood?How could he forget that he said that he would have children in the future, and his face turned pale instantly?How could he not understand that in the year of his wedding, Chi Sen suddenly resigned?How could he not be able to see? When he was most sad and lost, Chi Sen had been standing beside him silently.

It's just that he didn't say it, and he didn't say it.They don't say anything, let alone say anything.

"I'm sorry, it turned out to be me in the end, I am ashamed of you." Shu Yi tried to hold back the wisp of green smoke, but no matter how he stretched out his hand, the blue smoke finally drifted away.

······

"Little boy, do you believe that gods will have afterlife?" 17-year-old Chisen smiled, staring at him with a very gentle smile.

"Hmm... this underworld history book doesn't seem to record it, maybe there is."

"If so, what would you like to do?"

"If there is, I want to be an ordinary mortal or a fairy. Anyway, in this life, I am destined to be a king in the future."

Chi Sen laughed, this wish is a bit cute.

"What about Chisen?"

"Maybe I want to be a towering tree."

"Oh? How could there be such an interesting wish?"

Chisen smiled but didn't answer, he was really bothered by him, so he smiled and said: "Because this is so that ordinary mortals or ordinary little immortals can enjoy the shade. Anyway, I will be a god in this life, and it's not bad to be a plant in the next life." .”

Just so that I can meet you again in the next life.
