Qi Demon Trap

The next day

Zhu Jingchen held a gold and jade fan in his hand, his hair was tied with a jade crown, and even the brocade robe on his body was inlaid with gold trim. It seemed that his whole body was covered with gold powder. There can only be one word to describe it - "vulgar".

"You..." Seeing him, Qi Mo's pretty eyebrows squeezed into Sichuan characters.

"Why, my body is so shiny and golden that people dare not look at it?" He unfolded the jade fan in his hand and shook it in front of his chest, looking like a romantic man.

This outfit took him a lot of work, he even turned out the bottom of the suitcase, and he has never worn this outfit on weekdays.

"Like an opera singer." The air demon's eyes were full of irony.

"People need clothes, Buddhas need gold clothes, and this effect is what they want. Let's go on the road." He pretended not to understand, laughed twice and stepped out of the gate.

In order not to waste his attire, Zhu Jingchen simply didn't even take the sedan chair, and asked his servants to pull out two tall horses, and turned over first.

After the horse ran for a while, the Qi Demon slowly followed, keeping a distance from him all the time.

The passers-by were all frightened by the shining golden Zhu Jingchen, and they stared dumbfounded at him riding a horse and passing by.

When he came to the gate of the East Palace, he got off his horse, and the eunuch in charge stood by the gate to greet him with a smile. Looking at him, his smile grew stronger.

"Third Highness, our family is polite." With a shrill voice, the eunuch in charge bowed slightly and saluted.

"Is His Royal Highness the Prince there?" After adjusting his messy clothes, he strode forward and handed over the invitation.

"You came just in time. The prince has just returned to the palace and is waiting for you."

Zhu Jingchen nodded, just in time the Qi Demon had also arrived, so he approached affectionately and held the Qi Demon's hand and walked inside.

"Who is this?" The eunuch in charge stepped forward quickly, stretching out his hand to stop the Qi Demon.

Holding the cold palm of Qi Demon, he raised his eyebrows, "He is from my family."

"So it turns out that His Highness the Third Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and even the people in the house are so outstanding, it's true that birds of a feather flock together."

The eunuch in charge looked at Qi Demon carefully, seeing that he was well-dressed, handsome, and unarmed, so he stopped blocking him and moved aside to make way.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk!" Unfolding the jade fan, he laughed loudly.

Is bird of a feather flocking together a compliment?This eunuch really couldn't speak, and flattered the horse's legs.

"Why is the third brother smiling so happily?"

The laughter was interrupted, only to see a man slowly walking out from the inner hall, with a golden crown and purple robe, with slightly raised eyes, his appearance was five points similar to Zhu Jingchen.It's just that this person has thin cheeks and prominent cheekbones, which makes him look a bit mean.

"Brother Emperor." Zhu Jingchen shouted, and quickly pulled the Qi Demon forward.

"Long time no see, third brother has lost weight." Zhu Jingyu said, looking him up and down.

"Well, it's hard to say. A few days ago, my father ordered my ministers to go to the south of the Yangtze River to handle errands. The ministers had just dealt with it, but when they heard that my father was ill, they hurried to the capital. Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way and almost lost their lives. "He clutched his chest with a look of lingering fear.

Zhu Jingyu strode forward, held his hand, and comforted him with gentle words, "No wonder the third brother is so haggard, this post from this palace was posted in time, and today I want to comfort the third brother well."

"Brother Emperor, please first." Zhu Jingchen widened his eyes, looking flattered.

Qi Demon watched him act, and almost laughed.

The three of them walked into the hall, and the servants immediately set up exquisite meals, filling a large table, which can be said to be a dazzling array of everything that one expects to find.

Zhu Jingchen gave up the chairman to Zhu Jingyu, and chose a seat at random, while Qi Mo sat on his right hand, looking at the prince seemingly unintentionally.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhu Jingyu asked with a smile on his lips, "Third brother, will you be well after returning to Beijing?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I have experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and my younger brother has also seen through it. The glory and wealth are just a fleeting cloud. My younger brother is destined to be born in the royal family. If I don't enjoy myself in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it in the next reincarnation." Zhu Jingchen shook his head in Hu Give it a blow.

"What the third brother said is very true, if only the third brother is as open-minded as this palace."

"Brother Dahuang, I'm honored by my brother." Zhu Jingchen quickly put down the folding fan in his hand, raised his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The Qi Demon looked at it amusedly.If he hadn't known the inside story, he might have thought they were good brothers.

Zhu Jingchen is also a genius in acting, he played the young man so well that he almost fooled him too.

"This young master has an outstanding appearance. I wonder who he is?" Zhu Jingyu noticed the Qi Demon sitting on the side, squinted his eyes, and asked casually.

"This is my brother's benefactor. Thanks to being rescued by him, I brought him with me." Zhu Jingchen turned sideways and introduced Qi Demon with a smile.

"It turned out to be the third brother's savior. Forgive me for my negligence." Zhu Jingyu cupped his hands casually, with an arrogant expression, not apologetic at all.

"Heavenly, I haven't offered a toast to His Royal Highness yet."

Zhu Jingchen turned his head to urge the Qi Demon, but the Qi Demon did not move. The atmosphere seemed a little stiff, but Zhu Jingyu took the initiative to break the silence.

"Going against the sky, good name, good momentum." Zhu Jingchen praised with a thumbs up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Seeing that Mr. Ni's demeanor is not like an ordinary person, it is a blessing for the third brother to be able to meet such an expert."

"What Brother Dahuang said is true." He hurriedly typed a haha.

"Third brother, it's a pity that you are not in the palace. Recently, there was a hunt in the palace. I won a big victory and won the first place. The emperor rewarded many rare treasures. I almost can't put them here. You can play with some of them." Qi Demon was neither humble nor overbearing, Zhu Jingyu couldn't see anything, so he turned his eyes back to Zhu Jingchen.

"The thing that the father bestowed on the elder brother, how dare the younger brother..." He waved his hands again and again, politely rejecting his elder brother's kindness.

Who knows what Zhu Jingyu's heart is, if it's just to show off, it's not good if he wants to frame him.

But Zhu Jingyu slapped the table and said arrogantly: "My brother, why don't you dare to dare? In the future, the world will belong to my palace, and I can give it to whoever I want. Come here—"

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, I don't want to disturb the prince's rest, and I'm going back first." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he hurriedly got up and left with an excuse.

It seems that nothing can be found today, and Zhu Jingyu clearly wants to get him drunk and use his words.

"Third brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry? We haven't seen each other for a long time. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return." Zhu Jingyu used his alcohol to force him to stay together.

"My brother has a low drinking capacity, and the injuries on his body are not fully healed. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy myself with His Highness." He held his forehead and looked overwhelmed by alcohol.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by the guards guarding the two sides. The faintly impatient Qi Demon glanced at the guards coldly, with blue veins popping out of their foreheads, and they were about to attack.

Zhu Jingyu made it clear that he didn't believe it, so he chased after him, took the wine glass, and forced it to Zhu Jingchen, "No way, third brother, I remember that you have always been a good drinker. You refuse like this, is it because you look down on me?"

The Qi Demon who remained silent took the wine glass, "I'll drink it for him. His Highness's wounds haven't healed yet, so it's really not appropriate to drink too much." After finishing speaking, he drank it all.

Now not only Zhu Jingyu, but even Zhu Jingchen looked at him dumbfounded.This was the first time he heard Qi Demon, who cherished words like gold, say so many words in one breath.

But what surprised him even more was still behind, the Qi Demon directly picked up the jug on the table, and started pouring it from the mouth of the jug. After filling the pot in his hand, he picked up another pot and began to pour.

In less than half an incense stick, he drank all the wine in the jug and said to Zhu Jingyu, "Thank you, Prince, for your hospitality."

The first one to recover was Zhu Jingchen, and he immediately said to Zhu Jingyu: "Your brother's head started to feel a little dizzy, although I know that the big emperor must be happy to entertain my brother, but my friend is not used to the rules in the palace. It would be better for my younger brother to go back home with him to rest."

Because of the assassination of the Shangshu Mansion last time, Zhu Jingyu was already a little jealous of the high-ranking person beside Zhu Jingchen, but now that he has poured two pots of Yujing wine without changing his face, he is even more sure that his background is not simple.

After a pause, he said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you here. Be careful all the way."

"Thank you, Big Brother." Zhu Jingchen pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and walked out of the East Palace with the support of the Qi Demon.

Returning from the East Palace to the Third Prince's Mansion, it was almost dark, Zhu Jingchen only felt his back was sticky, and when he looked at the bronze mirror, he realized that his back was soaked.

Throwing the jade fan aside, he picked up the hot tea on the tea cup and poured it vigorously, sighing: "This trip to the East Palace was a waste of time."

Fortunately, he was carrying the Qi Demon, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to escape smoothly.

"The prince is nothing more than that." Qi Demon regained his white hair, and sat leaning on the beam, with one leg hanging down naturally.

He was born with a greasy face, and he wanted to get rid of other brothers to ensure that his path to the throne would not change. If it wasn't for Zhu Jingchen's relationship, he would have sent the prince underground to meet King Yama.

Speaking of which, Zhu Jingchen is more pleasing to the eye——

Although he is scheming, at least people don't offend me, and I don't offend others. This is quite similar to him, and it is comfortable to stay together.

"Anyway, thank you for blocking the wine for me just now." He said while taking off his wet clothes, he was still in shock. "But you really can't drink enough."

"Human beings are human beings, and it's amazing how little tricks can be made."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger up to the sky, and smoke began to smoke from his fingertips, and the aroma of Yujing brewed wine began to permeate.

Just now he locked the wine he drank in a certain part of his body. In this way, he would not get drunk even if he had ten more pots of Yujing Niang. some.

It was fine if he didn't use this move, but once he did, Zhu Jingchen's face was nothing but surprise. He couldn't help but grab Qi Demon's hand, and studied it curiously, as if he forgot that he was still naked from the upper body at the moment.

Because Zhu Jingchen has practiced martial arts for many years, his body is not as weak as that of ordinary young masters. Against the background of the moonlight, his smooth skin looks like it has been coated with honey, which is very attractive.

The Qi Demon was infatuated for a moment.

With the smell of wine permeating the situation, he felt as if he was drunk.And this scene fell into the eyes of the housekeeper who came to look for Zhu Jingchen, which further confirmed the "adultery" between the two.

From then on, no matter what Zhu Jingchen did in the mansion, he felt that there were many eyes staring at him curiously. Although he felt a little weird, he didn't ask any more questions.

On the other hand, I don’t know if it’s because the Qi Demon has changed his luck. He feels that his father loves him more and more day by day, so he summons him every now and then. When meeting the big emperor brother, the prince always looked strange when he saw him.

Naturally, he was careful and careful, pretending not to understand anything in front of the other party, and kept saying that when his father recovered, he would travel around the world and be an idle prince.

On this day, Zhu Jingchen was in a very depressed mood, he didn't see anyone, he just locked himself in the room staring at a portrait of a beautiful woman in a daze, and kept muttering to himself.

The woman in the painting is somewhat similar to Zhu Jingchen in appearance, with her hair combed in a cloud bun, her eyebrows picturesque, and wearing a light blue palace attire.

He was in a daze when the Qi Demon lying on the soft couch suddenly said, "Your concubine mother is a beauty."

"How do you know she is my concubine mother?" He turned his head, his black eyes were red like rabbits.

Today is the death day of the concubine mother, he wanted to go to Weiyang Palace to pay tribute to her like his father, but he couldn't, he was afraid that his true feelings would be revealed and his enemies would be wary.

"I have eyes and can see."

"I thought you had cast a spell on me." Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, the sadness on his face was still indelible.

"You underestimate me too much."

"How can I underestimate you, you are a devil, just move a finger casually, and I will feel sorry for you."

"The deity moves his finger to see if you will cry and mourn immediately." The Qi Demon jumped up, walked in front of him, and shook his index finger. "Look, the deity moved his finger, aren't you still in good shape?"

He made a joke for the first time, which made Zhu Jingchen couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, the dead are gone, you can't come back even if you cry."

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but he couldn't bear to see this kid burst into tears looking at a painting, like a big stone was pressed on his chest.

In his opinion, Zhu Jingchen was very strong. He was attacked and suffered such serious injuries that he was about to die, but he still survived.

Besides, Zhu Jingchen was the descendant of his savior, so he didn't know him before, so he really didn't give him a good face.

But after getting along with him during this period, his affection for him has grown day by day. Although Zhu Jingchen is young, he is very calm, he is also very thoughtful about governing the country, and he is very filial. When he looked at him with admiration, his heart would swell strangely.

He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, that kind of emotion was too unfamiliar to him, but in short, he could be sure that he didn't hate Zhu Jingchen looking at him like that, and even liked it.

"How can you comfort others like this." Zhu Jingchen was confused.

"Go ahead."

"Say what?" I was at a loss.

"Of course it's about your concubine."

"Don't you know everything?"

He didn't say that the mother and concubine died early, but the Qi Demon took the initiative to comfort her, so what else is there to say?

"I want to hear from you."

Zhu Jingchen sighed, and told the past in detail. It took two hours to talk, and the night was getting dark.

"Are you so sure that your concubine mother was murdered?" Qi Demon touched his chin, lowering his head in thought.

"On the day my concubine was dying, I was playing hide-and-seek with the palace people in the imperial garden. I saw a maid running out of Weiyang Palace in a panic. At that time, I thought she had made a mistake and was punished, so I didn't I care about it, but when I go back to Weiyang Palace, the concubine mother has already passed away. I want to be emperor, and I also want to avenge the concubine mother." He choked up, tears pouring out uncontrollably.

He was only eight years old at the time, and when he saw his mother and concubine lying on the ground, he didn't respond to her calls, and was so frightened that he burst into tears on the spot.

Afterwards, the imperial doctor came to see her and said that the concubine mother died of heart palpitations, but Zhu Jingchen didn't believe it at all.

The concubine mother has always been in good health, and he has never seen her concubine lose her temper. How could a good-looking person suddenly die suddenly?

Thinking about it carefully, the maid was really suspicious, but he searched all over Weiyang Palace and never saw the maid again.

He originally wanted to tell his father about this matter, but there was no evidence, and even if it was the maid who did it, there must be someone behind the scenes, otherwise a small court lady would have the guts to kill the concubine.

So, he endured it and kept collecting clues over the years, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his mother and concubine.

"Why are you crying? With the deity here, your vengeance will be avenged soon."

With a sore heart, Qi Demon stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and patted his back lightly.

Although he probably already knew about the matter, Zhu Jingchen said it out of his mouth with a sense of sadness, which made his heart ache.

He is a demon, since he came into the world, he has no father or mother, and naturally he has never felt the warmth of family affection. If it were not for the presence of the other three demons, he would not even know what friendship is.

And Zhu Jingchen brought him many, many novel feelings, not only joy but also sorrow, but just hugging this person like this, strange emotions surged in his chest, this kind of feeling has never been felt before.

It's fresh and exciting.He hugged Zhu Jingchen tightly, trying to make the feeling stronger.

"I will avenge myself." But Zhu Jingchen raised his head, wiped his face, and emphasized with staring at his red and swollen eyes.

"Then why are you crying? Your eyes are as red as a rabbit." Like treating a pet, Qi Demon rubbed his head vigorously.

What a silly boy, I mistakenly thought he was a greedy person before, but I didn't expect that he was out to avenge his mother's murder, and in the future he would wholeheartedly help Zhu Jingchen ascend the throne.

"You are the rabbit!"

Only then did he realize that he was embraced by the Qi Demon, blushing on the spot, pushed him away with all his strength, and rushed out like an arrow.

"What are you running, this is your bedroom." Looking at the empty embrace, the Qi Demon curled his lips in displeasure.

He was not a tiger, he ran so fast as if he saw a poisonous snake or beast.

However, there was still warmth in his arms. In fact, the feeling of hugging someone was pretty good, especially Zhu Jingchen, who was so clean that he didn't have any peculiar smell, and he was still warm.

Since that day, Zhu Jingchen didn't know what he did. Occasionally, when he encountered a qi demon, his face would become unbearably hot, and his heart would beat violently. Distraught, he had no choice but to hide from the qi demon.

The Qi Demon was naturally aware of it, and he tried to find something to prevaricate him a few times, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Later, he didn't bother to put his hot face on someone's cold ass, and simply shut himself up in the East Chamber to recuperate.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the government and the opposition were undercurrents. Cui Shangshu and many ministers who were at odds with the prime minister did not want to let the prince faction dominate, and they all stood up, even intending to elect the third prince Zhu Jingchen as the prince.

The news spread like a raging fire in the palace.

He was wondering why the eldest brother did not take any action until...

After visiting his father that day, he was about to leave the palace and go back to the mansion, but he heard that the queen was coming, so he got up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I haven't had dinner with you for a long time." The queen stepped forward in small steps, and said in a tender but elegant way.

"Then hurry up tomorrow—" The emperor really didn't want to get along with the queen.

"Your Majesty, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. The courtiers and concubines are here. Do you want to drive them away?"

The queen's tone of complaint made the emperor not know how to refuse, so he opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"It just so happens that Chen'er is also here, let's stay and have dinner together." The queen said directly, not allowing him to refuse.

"Thank you, ma'am." Zhu Jingchen bowed his hands in gratitude, but his eyelids kept twitching.

The dinner in the palace was naturally not bad, but facing the prince's biological mother, the current mother of the country, delicacies from mountains and seas were like chewing wax in his mouth, and he just hoped to leave quickly.

But things didn't go as planned, during the banquet the empress pulled him to talk about things, and after eating dinner for more than an hour, when he left the palace, the sky was already full of stars and the moon was shining brightly.

Sitting in the soft sedan, he was bouncing back and forth, his mind was dazed, suddenly the bearer stopped, and then the sedan chair fell heavily on the ground, he was caught off guard and almost fell out.

"What's going on?" With a livid face, he raised the car curtain and looked out, his eyes widened instantly.

The bearers had long since disappeared, but instead, they were surrounded by masked men in black.Thinking back now, those four bearers looked very strange, they must all be traitors in disguise.

Thinking of this, the cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down, and soon wet the back.

This time there were more people in black than last time, and he couldn't fly with his wings. He couldn't help regretting that he didn't bring Qi Demon with him, even if he had more helpers.

But if you can't beat it, you still have to fight, even if you die, you can't die here!

"You'd better be obedient and get caught, so as not to suffer." The leader waved his long knife and said coldly.

"Dream!" Zhu Jingchen yelled loudly, his ten fingers clawed at the other's neck like hooks.

Capture the thief first and capture the king. Last time he suffered a loss. This time he learned to be smart.

"Hmph, you don't have to drink fine wine if you toast."

The leader stepped back, and all the men in black immediately rushed up, making him tired of dealing with it.

The man in black fought more and more courageously, but Zhu Jingchen gradually lost his strength, and he couldn't help retreating. The other party naturally saw it, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, one of them raised his hand and chopped him on the back of the neck.

"Hmm..." There was a huge pain in the back of his neck, and it was pitch black in front of his eyes. He fell to the ground and didn't know who he was.

I don't know how long it took, but the pungent smell of makeup and powder made Zhu Jingchen wake up leisurely. He felt a dizzy headache and a sore neck in a daze.

"Where is this?" He looked around in confusion, not knowing where he was.

"You're awake." Following the sound, he saw the masked man in black who had knocked him out, sitting not far from him.

"What on earth are you guys going to do?!" Zhu Jingchen struggled to sit up, but found that his hands were tied tightly behind his back, and he didn't know what kind of rope was tied, and he couldn't break free.

"You will know later." The masked man in black picked up a white porcelain jug from the table and walked to him, pinching his chin and pouring it vigorously.

As a prince, he has never received such treatment. He turned his face to the side and struggled continuously, but he couldn't escape the hand of the man in black. He drank most of the wine, and his face flushed from coughing after a while.

"What did you drink for me?" The splashed wine was all over his body, and his upper body was leaning against the bed. At this time, Zhu Jingchen was in a panic.

It can't be poison, can it?No, if you want him to die, it wouldn't be faster to kill him with one knife.

"Good stuff, just enjoy it." The masked man in black stretched out his hand and pushed him down on the bed, then walked out laughing wildly.

Zhu Jingchen lay on the bed, and soon understood what the man in black meant, because he found that his abdomen was like a fire, and the hot flame quickly spread to his limbs and reached his brain.

"Damn... um..." He moaned in pain, his whole body was hot and uncomfortable, and his lower body gradually raised his head under the effect of the medicine.

The man in black must have added aphrodisiac to the wine he drank, otherwise he wouldn't be like this...

He immediately figured it out, as early as when his father ascended the throne, he had issued an imperial decree that the royal family and officials should not be prostitutes. The reason why these people didn't kill him was probably because of this poisonous plan.

"My lord, I'm here." At this moment, a charming female voice came from beside me.

"Don't come here—" he said hoarsely, moving in with difficulty.

Drowsy in his mind, but his desire kept clamoring, trying to find an outlet to vent, he stared fiercely at the woman like a trapped animal.

"Young master is so handsome, I will take good care of you." Not only was the girl not scared off by him, but she walked to the bed and touched his face with her hand.

"Go away!" he roared like thunder.

"A moment in spring night is worth a thousand gold. You have strength, so it's better to save it for later." The woman smiled coquettishly and unbuttoned her blouse, revealing her snow-white arms around his neck.

With his hands bound and aphrodisiacs on his body, and a charming woman in front of him, Zhu Jingchen was in despair at this moment...
