The happy life of the devil and the devil

"Bullshit!"

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, and he almost rebuked without thinking.At least he still remembered that it was late at night, and his voice was kept low so as not to startle the servants next door.I jumped in surprise as soon as I said it, covered my mouth quickly, and when I leaned over to look at Ling Yucheng, I saw his eyelids closed quietly, and occasionally he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent blankly, as if talking to him, but also as if he was not at all. Sober look.

"It's just that you have some poisonous wounds that haven't healed! After lying down for a few days and the fever subsides, you will be a hero who is alive and well! What are you talking about? I'm still waiting for 20 years, and you will lead the soldiers to fight back to Yu Xia to replace him." I will take this country!"

"...20 years later." Hearing Yuan Shao's voice, those eyes that were usually clear to the bottom, Gu Panjian even turned towards him with some sharp eyes, but his eyes were loose and dim, as if they were fundamentally ignorant. Not looking at him, but looking at something in memory.The corners of his lips twitched slightly, revealing an erratic smile:

"Actually, at that time... when I opened my eyes, it was good enough to see you..."

The detoxification of no time at all, the darkness and pain at the end can't be seen at all.In the end, when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the person he had been holding on to until now.

In his memory, Ling Yucheng has never been so soft except for the time when he had a high fever two years ago and was on the verge of life and death.Yuan Shao groaned fiercely in his heart, and with the help of the weak light from the bedside, he half stood up, reached out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt on the side of Ye Ling Yucheng's face, and then gently stroked his cheek:

"I see. You're all right now, so relax and recuperate, huh?"

"……Um."

"What kind of spiritual position, military temple, don't think about him anymore. I won't let you stay there alone - you will be born with the same quilt, and you will die with the same acupuncture point. I promised you, forget?"

"Your Majesty... promised me." To Yuan Shao's surprise, Ling Yucheng hesitated for a long time before slowly answering.Yuan Shao hadn't let go of his breath yet, he had already continued:

"...After I die, I will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, will not enter the ancestral temple, and will not be sacrificed."

"you--"

I regret it, I don't know how many times I regret it, okay!Hearing Ling Yucheng mention it again at this moment, Yuan Shao struggled for a moment between "persuading him in one breath" and "don't bother with the patient and let him sleep well". Just as he uttered the first word, he saw Ling Yucheng smiling and shaking his head :

"I won't make things difficult for Your Majesty. On the tablet... I can't write any words. Those who remember me will know who it is. When people who know me will point to the tablet and say who it is, all the people will die. No, posterity, no one will know who it is... No one will know that there was someone like me beside His Majesty..."

"I just think, when there are still people in this world who remember me, there is a place I can go back to... Is that okay?"

It was extremely quiet in the bedroom.One of the two people on the bed was lying down, and the other half stood up, looking at each other silently.The cold wind was howling outside the window, and the candlelight at the bedside danced occasionally, casting a shadow on Ling Yucheng's face through the soft gauze curtain, making his expression particularly ambiguous.

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" After a long time, Yuan Shao found his tongue, but the trembling in his voice could not even be controlled by himself: while speaking, there was something hot and hot, which could not be suppressed from his throat Straight up from the depths:

"You are my queen. If you are alive, you will govern the rivers and mountains with me. After you die, you will be buried beside me, and you will be sacrificed together with me in the Taimiao forever—don't you want to? You don't want to be with me, Would you rather be alone and hide in that military temple far away?"

"His Majesty--"

"Ok?"

There was a long silence.Yuan Shao searched his mind and struggled for a long time, but couldn't think of what Ling Yucheng would say.If it's because they're both men——Ling Yucheng might have thought so three years ago, but he'd already looked away.

After waiting as if for a lifetime, he only heard a reply as soft as a whisper from Ling Yucheng's mouth.

"The minister obeys the order."

Not "willing", but "complying".Like every time, after his insistence, Ling Yucheng always retreated like this, hiding his true intentions under the obedience of a courtier.

"—Longevity!"

Those eyes were closed.Before Yuan Shao had time to choose whether to shake him awake or let him sleep peacefully, Ling Yucheng opened his eyes again.This time, there seemed to be a hazy mist in the eyes. Although he looked at Yuan Shao motionlessly, the people who were watched were panicked and wanted to run away:

"I didn't want him to die."

"……what?"

"I really didn't think about it!" Ling Yucheng's voice suddenly became higher-pitched. At the same time, he pushed his elbows on the bed and pushed him up—at the last moment Yuan Shao rushed forward and pushed him back to the pillow. But it was too late, and it never occurred to him to stop him from saying the future in one breath:

"Yi Chu, seizing the heir, or letting the deposed prince die in the end, I haven't thought about it—this is something that can be decided by His Majesty—I just want to take Xiaoshi far away, to Suluo , relying on me, I can always keep this child..."

"I'm just, just in the end, unwilling to intercede for him...Why! He wants to kill me! He almost killed me!"

"However, my life has long belonged to His Majesty... Whenever His Majesty wants to take it, then..."

"I'm sorry for you." Yuan Shao's heart was hot and cold, as if soaking back and forth in boiling water and ice water.Although I don't know why Ling Yucheng suddenly jumped from the ownership of the spiritual position to the abandoned prince while talking, but at this time, he must not make a mistake.Before he even had time to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, he stretched out one hand in a panic, covering Ling Yucheng's open and closed lips firmly, and interrupted his next words:

"It's because I didn't teach this son well, and let him almost kill you. He deserved to die for doing such a thing. I gave him death, not for you, and I won't... Therefore, I will treat you..."

Yes, yes.

It was so!

No wonder Yang Qiu said that Ling Yucheng's veins showed signs of worry and fear - today's daytime, or should I say yesterday's daytime now, Ling Yucheng saw all of his restlessness and inability to eat all day long.And with Ling Yucheng's character, how could he not think about it, how could he not be worried when he saw it?

Besides Ling Yucheng and Xiao Shiyi, who else has benefited the most from the crown prince being abolished and given to death?Xiao 11 is young and is his biological son.In this way, if he wants to find someone to suspect and hate because of the loss of his beloved son, Ling Yucheng will bear the brunt of it!

What's more, even if there is no doubt that Ling Yucheng planned to seize the heir and assassinate the prince, there is still a word in this world called anger.

"I've never doubted you." Yuan Shao leaned forward involuntarily, held Ling Yucheng's shoulder across the quilt, and bowed his head to meet his eyes: "At that time, it was Jiaozhao, not me..."

"I know."

"you know?"

"I know. If it's His Majesty..." As he spoke, Ling Yucheng lost his strength again, closed his eyes and gasped for breath.Yuan Shao stared at him apprehensively, but when Ling Yucheng opened his eyes again, a smile slowly appeared on his red and chapped lips:

"I figured it out at the time... If it was Your Majesty... there is no need for those methods at all, whether it is sending someone to do it, or poisoning... just, just say something to me, say something personally, it will be fine... "

A sound that cools my heart.

If any of the courtiers said this, Yuan Shao would only feel a little moved besides admiring it.Repaying the king on the golden platform, supporting the jade dragon to die for the king, as a minister, it is his duty to be loyal to the king, and as a king, accepting such loyalty frankly is not the education he has received since childhood.

Every subject is a precious resource, and a king cannot throw it away lightly. However, when needed, even if they are pushed to the battlefield in batches to death, there should be no stinginess.

However, at this moment, it was Ling Yucheng who said such words to him, who was so dizzy as to confess his love to him.

It was the person he worked so hard to bring under his command, the person who had fought bloody battles for him in the past three years and gained numerous military exploits, the person he cherished and loved and wanted to spend his whole life with.

It was the first time I knew that when the same words were spoken from Ling Yucheng's mouth, every word was a cold stab in my heart.

"Changsheng, Changsheng. Why do you feel..." Even though he tried his best to restrain him, Yuan Shao's voice trembled more and more: "Why would I want your life? How could I hurt you!"

Ling Yucheng didn't answer, just glanced at him lightly, then closed his eyes.This glance didn't imply any approval, it seemed to say "I'm tired, I won't argue with you", and it seemed to say "You are the emperor, so whatever you say, be what you say."

Every time!

After every dispute, when Ling Yucheng bowed his head and gave in, it was like this!

Even if they quarreled on the spot!It is a matter of life and death, such a major matter as thinking that I will hurt you or kill you!

Three years of getting along, three years of friendship, when did you come to such a judgment silently, without arguing, pleading, or even asking, never thought of asking me!

Just thinking about it makes my chest so hot that I can suffocate.He recklessly grabbed Ling Yucheng's shoulder and shook it twice, forcing him to open his eyes:

"Tell me! Why on earth do you think so, what did I do to make you think like this!"

If you hadn't had this kind of thought, how could you have believed it immediately when the assassin tried to correct him, and how could your confidence in me not be as good as Xiao Shiyi's!

Finally opened.The dimly burned eyes turned lightly, and they met him accurately, and then, with a sighing whisper, it was like ice water being poured on his head, causing Yuan Shao to freeze on the ground in an instant:

"Your Majesty," Ling Yucheng laughed lowly, that smile was clearly relieved, but it also carried a deep bitter self-deprecating, so familiar that it made his hair stand on end:

"At that time... when you promised me not to bury the emperor's mausoleum, enter the ancestral temple, and not be sacrificed... what did you think?"

What do you think?

There is no need to recall at all, cold sweat immediately seeped all over his back.

How can a queen, a queen who respects the enemy of the king and once held the power of the military and the country, fall into such a fate?

Abolish the position and grant death.

This is the simplest, most convenient, and least resistant solution.

As for the reason... or the crime, it's hard to find.Being in a foreign country, I don't know how many rich and noble people's interests have been harmed. Who would speak up for such a queen at the critical moment of life and death?

If necessary, if the situation develops to this point, if Ling Yucheng has not shown enough value, then it is impossible for Weishi to go this way.

Anyway, this is also Ling Yucheng's request, anyway, he never cared about Ling Yucheng's life...

Three years ago, in the middle of the night when they stepped on the moon, when they nodded and promised, although they didn't say it clearly, they had a tacit understanding with each other.Later, Ling Yucheng became more and more important day by day, so he put this thought behind him.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yucheng has always kept this memory, and as time goes by, it gets deeper and deeper.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Ling Yucheng never believed that he would not be hurt by him.

The author has something to say: cry like a dog.

Yang Qiu: Your Excellency has such a severe fever, Your Majesty, don't rush to help him reduce the fever, just keep talking!

Clap your hands, it's over.

Your Majesty, you know what it means to suffer by yourself.
