Heaven

Ji Kongqing thought that he was already in hell, but he didn't expect that he had not yet fallen into the deepest part of hell.

--------------------------------

As if being crushed again and again, and then glued together again, Ji Kongqing gradually became numb to the pain in her body.

This time the cage was even more beautiful than last time, and the guards were stricter.Ji Kongqing tried to escape twice, but what he got in return was only a guard's head pickled with lime and a deep bone wound on his back that was hung at the gate of the courtyard.

Ji Xi regretted it almost the night he cut him.He likes the way Ji Kongqing is struggling, and even more like the way the black phoenix behind him spreads its wings and is about to fly but is firmly fixed under him.

So on the second day, Ji Kongqing's room was full of the smell of wound medicine, while outside the palace, there was a lot of news that His Majesty the Emperor asked for the elixir to remove the scar.

Ji Kongqing touched the bandage wrapped around her body, if Ji Xi sometimes liked to pinch her wound with her nails and feel the trembling caused by the pain, there would be no trace here soon.

The wounds on the body can be healed again and again, but what about the wounds on the heart?

Ji Kongqing's expression became more and more pale, and his eyes also lost their former agility.

On the contrary, His Majesty's temper became more and more violent day by day.

The people serving in this yard are changing faster and faster.

"I heard that you laughed when you heard a court lady perform ventriloquist?"

Seeing the flash of vigilance on Ji Kongqing's face, Ji Xi couldn't say anything to curry favor, and instead smiled coldly: "Maybe I can make her tongue into a dish for you to taste." Taste, see if her tongue is particularly delicious?"

Ji Kongqing didn't speak, he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless, the fate of that court lady had already been decided when His Majesty sneered.

What can I do by myself?

As the chief culprit who killed her, he didn't even have the right to mourn for her!

Ji Xi decided to give up singing one-man shows, he has no mood to continue torturing each other with Ji Kongqing today.

Jingguo has kept its doors behind closed doors for too many years. Sometimes he really wants to pry open the heads of those civil servants and generals to take a good look. What is there that makes them all so afraid of expanding outward? !For a while, it was the instruction from the ancestors, and for a while, it was because the national power was not enough to send troops. What kind of cowardly fellows did my father raise!

It wasn't until sitting on this dragon chair that I realized how difficult it is to realize the ambition of unifying the world.Talent, I need talent!Lan Sijie is a good talent, young and energetic, although he lacks experience, he is absolutely loyal and reliable.But having him alone is not enough, if...

Ji Xi glanced at the person who was pushed down on the bed with his eyes closed, and sighed.He could have been a good option too, but he couldn't play for himself after all.Since the phoenix cannot be used by me, I might as well break off his wings and keep him in a cage!

He raised his hand and tore off Ji Kongqing's clothes.

……

Why can't he get his heart even though he can be humiliated countless times physically?

Ji Xi sighed, and applied the soaked cloth to Ji Kongqing's forehead.

He had a fever again, and he probably never knew that he was willing to be hands-off when it came to tending to him or tending to his wounds.

How nice it would be if he wasn't him...

"..."

Ji Xi immediately put his ear to Ji Kongqing's lips, trying to distinguish every word he said.

Whenever he has a high fever, Ji Kongqing always seems to be calling someone's name, but unfortunately when he is awake, no matter how hard he asks, he can't find out who this person is?

Could it be Qin Yu?

Ji Xi intuitively denied this guess.If it's about missing her adoptive father, there's no need for Ji Kongqing to have a look of panic in her eyes when she is sometimes tortured and questioned.

So who will it be?

Ji Xi's chest seemed to be on fire suddenly, he strangled Ji Kongqing's neck with one hand, and growled, "Who are you calling? Tell me! Whose name are you calling?!"

Even though the fever was so high that he was in a trance, Ji Kongqing still instinctively wanted to breathe desperately. He tried to break Ji Xi's hand stuck in his throat with his weak hands, and his face gradually turned from red to white...

"Cough...cough..."

Ji Kongqing was like a fish that had been thrown ashore, constantly opening his lips to suck in the air.His throat seemed to be injured, and even though he grabbed his neck with both hands, he still couldn't breathe well.Soon, tears rolled down his hair, but his sanity still hasn't recovered...

Ji Xi wiped a drop of tears with his index finger, looked at him for a moment under the candlelight, and then clenched his fist again.

Maybe he was wrong, this kind of torture alone was not enough to smooth his temper.Ji Kongqing was like running water, it seemed that he could bend at will, but he couldn't break him completely.

Then smash him completely!

A ferocious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ji Xi's mouth.

Legend has it that Mr. Kong Qing, who was raised in the deep palace by His Majesty the Emperor and loved by thousands of people, would perform a dance in public when the envoys of Wei State came to visit!

Hearing this news, people in the entire palace were secretly boiling.

The empress, who was born in the royal family of Chu State, is not the most mysterious person in the Jing Palace.On the contrary, in the harem controlled by the empress dowager, she is the one who has the least sense of existence.Even the other concubines gloated a little when they talked about her.

But Mr. Kongqing is not the case, his yard is almost isolated from the outside world.Although the women in the harem gritted their teeth with hatred for him who had almost monopolized the emperor's favor, they couldn't even see him face to face.

Now that there is such news, is it because he finally annoyed the capricious Emperor Jing, or is it a sign that His Majesty finally decided to put him on the bright side?

Countless pairs of eyes are looking forward to the dinner three days later...

"I've had someone make a dance dress for you, and it's time for you to contribute a little to Dajing." Ji Xi squeezed Ji Kongqing's jaw open, and poured down a glass of spirits.

The wound on Ji Kongqing's neck has not healed yet.In an instant, a burning sensation crossed his throat, causing him to cough uncontrollably, but he couldn't even close his mouth.

"If you don't go to perform the dance, I'll kill one of your people every day. It's been a long time since I saw so many punishments in Dajing Palace." Ji Xi glanced at the people waiting on both sides with his cold eyes. Palace man, an eunuch couldn't help shivering, and the fan in his hand slipped to the ground.

"Slaves should be damned..." The little eunuch was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

"It's better to start with you." Ji Xi rested his chin with his hand and narrowed his eyes happily.

"If you want to kill it, then kill it." Ji Kongqing's voice was calm and unwavering, as if he was talking about something completely irrelevant to him.

"Oh? Has my Kongqing finally stopped pitying the lives of these sluts?" Ji Xi looked Ji Kongqing up and down with great interest, "Tsk tsk, Xiangfu will be very happy when he finds out. Shall I find someone else?" It's time to invite him into the palace and let you father and son take care of your family?"

"Or..." Ji Xi suddenly put away the smile on his face, grabbed Ji Kongqing's hair and pressed him on the table, ripped off his already thin clothes, and stabbed him with his fingers body, "Would you rather let him admire you 'now'?"

"It doesn't matter, I can do whatever you want me to do. Who told you that you are my brother?" Ji Kongqing didn't seem to feel his distressed appearance, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"Hmph! Then you should think about how to dance for Prince Wei!"

Ji Xi finally left in a flick of his sleeves.

Ji Kongqing staggered and stood up straight, and ordered in a low voice: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

It's not time to despair, he has to escape anyway, he said to himself.

"Wei Wuji actually wanted to exchange gold with me for you. Haha...haha..." Ji Xi seemed to have just heard a funny joke, and laughed so hard, "After I refused, he even said that jewelry and jade are fine, gold It doesn’t matter if it’s silver objects, even if it’s exchanged for the pig iron that Da Jing urgently needs, I just want to have fun with you overnight. Hehe, he is really kind!”

Seeing Ji Kongqing looking straight ahead in silence, Ji Xi couldn't help feeling bored, stretched out his hand to break his chin and said, "What do you think I promised him?"

"Didn't it mean that it's time for me to contribute to Dajing, brother?" Ji Kongqing said calmly.

Ji Xi's pupils contracted violently, and he raised his hand to slap Ji Kongqing across the face: "You lowly bastard, just like your lowly mother! Do you really like being ridden by men so much?"

His blow was so severe that Ji Kongqing's cheeks were soon swollen with several fingerprints.However, Ji Kongqing suddenly smiled: "It's up to you, brother."

"Brother, brother, do you like calling me brother that much?!" Ji Xi grabbed Ji Kongqing's lapel and shouted angrily, seeing the red marks on Ji Kongqing's face, he finally couldn't help but feel soft. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I hated my father's love for you since I was a child, so I couldn't help but want to hurt you when I knew your identity. Although we do have a common father, there is no brotherhood. Love... Kongqing, I really like you, everything before is my fault, give me another chance, shall we start over?"

Ji Kongqing glanced helplessly at the man in front of him, why didn't he see how contradictory and changeable his mind was when he first met him?

Ji Xi is undoubtedly a person with both talent and ambition, and this is where he first attracted my attention.Unfortunately, a narrow-minded and unresolute person is neither a good lover nor a good emperor.

When he says such things now, I really don't know whether to say that he is naive, or to advise him not to be on a whim... The line between them has long been staggered, and they are still walking further and further apart step by step.If it weren't for the love of his parents, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as just thinking about escaping from here.

"It's impossible between us." Ji Kongqing finally let out a sigh.

"Then who are you likely to be with? Hmph, with that person you have always kept in mind? Did you know him in Wei?" Ji Xi roared like a raging lion, wanting to choose someone to eat, "Look Wei Wuji is so anxious, it must not be him! One hundred thousand catties of good iron, Kong Qing, your price is really not cheap!"

"..."

"Help Mr. Kongqing organize his clothes and makeup, and send it to the Yingbin Building." Ji Xi ordered in a deep voice when he left.

Ji Kongqing bit her lower lip hard, she hasn't arrived yet, she hasn't reached the point of despair, she can definitely leave here, definitely!

Although Ji Xi swears to ask for his forgiveness afterwards, and even vows to dedicate the head of Prince Wei to him when he conquers Wei State in the future, Ji Kongqing still just remains indifferent.

There is no bond between them, so how can they forgive?

So, even though she knew the wine was drugged the first time she drank it, Ji Kongqing still calmly drank the "old wine" sent by Ji Xi.

Maybe he has already started to lie to himself, Ji Kongqing smiled wryly.The secret medicine in this wine can always make him fall into the environment quickly, and he can't distinguish between reality and illusion. Perhaps it is the most precious thing for him now.

Of course, even in a dream that was comparable to reality, he didn't say the name that he missed most in his heart.

Not once.

Ji Xi was very satisfied that Lan Sijie's medicine made Ji Kongqing obedient, and his eyes finally fell on himself again.

He no longer tries to call out to others even when he is out of his mind.

Very good, really good.

"You are...Little Phoenix?"

When that long-lost voice sounded in his mind, Ji Kongqing had the urge to cry.

Knowing that it is fake, but still full of joy...

Tears finally spilled from his fingers.

"I'm Jing Mingrui, are you... my twin star?" Jing Mingrui's voice was a little ethereal and a little dazed.

"..." Ji Kongqing sobbed softly, but did not answer.

Afraid that he couldn't help it, he said the other party's name. Although Ji Xi was not there, but...who knew if he was really not there?

Recently, I have become more and more unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Why is there only sadness in your heart?" Jing Mingrui's voice seemed to have a trace of doubt, "Why does it seem that I am also a little uncomfortable? Don't worry, with me here, any problem can be solved!"

Ji Kongqing's eyes widened suddenly, the warmth coming from the depths of his heart was so familiar!

It was him, it was him!

"Have you encountered any troubles again? I seem to have encountered some small troubles before, but... it should have been solved perfectly. Next, let me help you out!..."

Ji Kongqing covered her mouth, her wet eyes were wide open.

"Mingrui Mingrui Mingrui Mingrui Mingrui..." He kept repeating the name in his heart, as if it would bring him strength.

That's right, with him here, what can't be solved?

The author has something to say: Run to tears_, the volume of the clear sky is finally over, all the pain and sorrow have passed, and the little phoenix will eventually be reborn from the ashes!

In other words, the subtitles of all the volumes of Clear Sky are connected together, which are two limericks I wrote for Xiao Fenghuang's experience before going to Chu State——

Recalling the ignorant years of the past, the lonely rivers and lakes only hate the wrong acquaintances,

Surprised by the loneliness last night, the blood splashed on the palace wall, but I want the two to know.
