"Cough cough cough-"

"Are you awake?" Murong Qi's gentle voice came into Si Jin's ear.

"Hmm." Si Jin endured the physical discomfort and struggled to open her eyes, but she didn't expect to see a strange environment when she opened her eyes.

I don't know where this place is, except for a dim candle not far away, there is no other light source.

He turned his head and looked at the man beside him against the candlelight.

The candlelight was flickering, and in the distance, the range of illumination was limited.

Especially where Si Jin was lying down, when she looked at Murong Qi, she could only see a dark figure, completely unable to see the expression on the other's face.

"Where is this?" Si Jin asked hoarsely, frowning.

"The dark room under Qiwu Palace," Murong Qi said in a low voice, and stepped forward to support Si Jin so that he could sit up.

Si Jin looked at Murong Qi in shock, opened her mouth, and wanted to ask something, but Murong Qi's hand supported her back, and she couldn't speak even if the words had reached her mouth.

Murong Qi helped Si Jin up, and sat aside again: "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Si Jin opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she coughed again.

After sitting up, the expression on Murong Qi's face became clearer, calm as if nothing had happened.

Si Jin leaned weakly on the soft cushion behind her, her gaze fell directly on Murong Qi.

Murong Qi also looked at him.

Si Jin looked away: "I remember when I lived in Qiwu Palace 12 years ago, I heard the sound of chains. At that time, you said that was just my illusion. I don't think so?"

"It's been so many years, you haven't forgotten?" Murong Qi asked, but there was not much shock in his tone.

"I've always believed in myself," Si Jin lowered her head and smiled, "So who was the person who was imprisoned here at that time?"

"It's Murong Jue." Regarding this question, Murong Qi had absolutely no intention of hiding it.

As for this answer, Si Jin was indeed a little shocked: "At that time, everyone thought he was dead, but you actually let him live?"

"Well, I had someone goug out his eyes, and trapped him here, to let him know what life is better than death." Murong Qi said indifferently, as if he just took a black cloth and covered Murong Jue's eyes.

"No wonder..." Si Jin was stunned, "No wonder you acted so strange when I sang about two tigers."

I'm afraid that Murong Qi thought that Concubine Hong had some evidence at that time, so it was only natural that he was vigilant.

A son's disrespect to his father is unfilial, Murong Qi even had Murong Jue's eyes gouged out, if it spreads, outsiders will have more reason to rebel in an upright manner.

"Now I've confirmed that the two tigers are indeed nursery rhymes." Murong Qi said, when he knew that Si Jin didn't belong to this world, he understood why he couldn't find out the source of this song.

"It was just a nursery rhyme. Your Majesty thought too much." Si Jin laughed, maybe because she laughed too happily, and coughed several times.

Murong Qi raised his hand and patted Si Jin's chest, his movements were gentler than ever before.

But Si Jin is very clear that the current Murong Qi has returned to the state of 12 years ago.

He thought that after 12 years, Murong Qi had become more mature and gentler.

But he was wrong, the Murong Qi 12 years ago was always there, but he was deeply hidden in his heart, wrapped in the depths of his heart, hidden, no one could see.

Si Jin looked at the surrounding environment, except for the bed he was lying on, there was only a candle holder not far away, and the flickering candlelight made the empty room even more eerie.

He knows why he is here.

"When did you find out?"

"Before you had an accident, I felt that something was wrong." Murong Qi looked straight at Si Jin, "until you fell into a coma, it's easy to find out after careful inspection."

"Really," Si Jin lowered her eyes, "I was too anxious."

"Yes, if it wasn't for this time that you suddenly fell into a coma, I'm afraid it will take a long time to know the truth. By then, I'm afraid your body will be paralyzed." Murong Qi said truthfully, his tone was unusually calm.

Si Jin exhaled slowly, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, relaxed her body, and leaned back: "How is Ruyi?"

"You should have guessed that Ruyi might be punished for doing these things." Murong Qi said with a cold face.

"I gave Ruyi the order in front of His Majesty." Si Jin looked at Murong Qi.

The implication is that as long as you investigate deeply, you will know that the whole matter has nothing to do with Ruyi, and naturally Ruyi will not be punished.

"Yes," Murong Qi smiled miserably, "I have thought about many people, but I never thought that the poison on your body was actually injected by yourself. It was like this 12 years ago, and it will be like this again 12 years later. The same routine, obviously It's the same poison, but I never doubted you until the imperial doctor found out the source of the poison..."

Si Jin dared not look directly at him.

Murong Qi smiled again: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have called Ruyi out to accompany you, and I shouldn't have asked you to instruct Ruyi in front of me to prepare the same meals as Concubine Hong, I boast that I am very intelligent, Compared with you, it is a disadvantage."

Murong Qi didn't look at Si Jin's expression, and held his hand tightly: "I never thought that after 12 years, you still don't want to stay by my side. Why, is there something wrong with me?"

Si Jin turned to look at him.

After saying this, Murong Qi's expression was no longer as calm as before.

Perhaps during Si Jin's drowsiness, Murong Qi had already prepared not to show too much emotion in front of him, but after saying this, he could no longer restrain the emotions deep in his heart, and his voice was a little choked up.

Si Jin lowered her eyes and raised her eyes again, trying her best to pull her hand out of Murong Qi's.

"No, you are doing very well," Si Jin looked at him seriously, and repeated again, "You are doing very well, you are the only one among all the people I have ever seen that makes my heart move and makes me feel that you are unique ,I like you."

Murong Qi's eyes were tinged with joy, this was the first time he heard such words from Si Jin.

Si Jin still looked straight at him: "But, I want to go home."

The joy in Murong Qi's eyes faded in an instant, as if he was happy after eating a piece of ice fruit in the hot summer, and then he was pushed into the flames.

"go home?"

"Yes, I want to go home," Si Jin said with a sullen face, "I'm fed up with the environment here, I want to go back to my own home, back to the era when everything was good, instead of being trapped in this cold and lonely palace among."

"But I..."

"I know, Your Majesty must want to say that you didn't restrict me, didn't make me have to stay in the palace, you gave me enough freedom," Si Jin said one sentence at a time, but her eyes became more and more cold, "But this Still not enough, what I want is the world, the future, my real home, not here."

Si Jin's words were like ruthless sharp knives, piercing Murong Qi's heart again and again.

Murong Qi's eyes were red, as if he was enduring something: "Do you remember what happened 12 years ago?"

Si Jin pursed her lips: "I remembered from the beginning, when you showed me those calligraphy and paintings, I remembered everything, everything."

Murong Qi looked straight at Si Jin: "What is your purpose, and what should I do so that you can go home?"

Si Jin lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then raised her head to look at Murong Qi, suppressing all emotions in her eyes: "At the empress ceremony, your throne was abolished."

Murong Qi raised his hand and put it on Si Jin's face: "Why is it the empress ceremony?"

"Of course it is to truly reverse history, and this is also my mission here," Si Jin said, "Murong Qi in history was extremely cruel, disregarding human life, causing people to be displaced, corpses littered the fields, and he even did not hesitate to bet on the world, causing countless deaths and injuries , just to satisfy your own selfish desires, you are not worthy of being emperor."

"I can kill you." Murong Qi's hand landed on Si Jin's neck. Now Si Jin's body is sore and weak, and he can't use any strength. As long as he puts more force on his hand, Si Jin's neck can be cut off.

Si Jin raised her head, revealing her fair neck, and exposed herself to Murong Qi like this: "Your Majesty doesn't even care about the lives of the people in the world, let alone my life alone. Your Majesty wants my life. Just do it, I won't resist."

The strength in Murong Qi's hands increased slightly.

Si Jin closed her eyes.

The next second, Murong Qi suddenly leaned over, took Si Jin's lips, and bit them hard.

Si Jin opened her eyes suddenly, reached out her hand to Murong Qi's chest, trying to push him away.

It's a pity that his current body doesn't know why, and he can't use any strength at all. This kind of movement is not so much pushing, but acting like a baby.

In the end, it was Murong Qi who took the initiative to back away, and Si Jin had a chance to catch his breath.

He raised his hand to touch his lips, and when he put his hand down, his fingertips were stained with red blood.

"Are you a dog?" Si Jin frowned, looking at Murong Qi dissatisfied.

Looking up, he realized that Murong Qi's eyes had been on his lips.

He was vigilant, and his body retreated slightly, but the effect of doing so was really weak, especially when he was physically weak and faced with a strong and powerful man, everything he did seemed to be useless.

When Si Jin was careless, he was deceived by Murong Qi again.

Only this time, Murong Qi didn't open his mouth to bite like before, but gently covered his lips, sticking out his tongue, carefully sucking the blood on his lips.

Si Jin was about to push him away, but Murong Qi stepped back, took his hand, and licked away the blood on his fingertips little by little.

"you……"

"Don't talk, don't move, I don't want to hurt you." Murong Qi raised his hand and pressed Si Jin's lips.

Si Jin felt the roughness of Murong Qi's palm, reached out and took his hand off her lips, only then could she clearly see the scab marks on his palm.

On the scabs were bloodstains from his lips, the red blood dotted with the scabs unexpectedly created a bit of beauty.

Si Jin frowned: "These marks...are you picking them with your own nails?"

He could see the shape of these scabs, and he couldn't think of any other possibility except that Murong Qi picked them himself.

It's just that Murong Qi's nails are cut very neatly and close to the flesh. If he wants to use his own nails to dig out such marks, he doesn't know how much strength he will need to use.

"It's because I didn't care enough that you were poisoned." Murong Qi said in a low voice.

Si Jin put his hand down, and looked down at him no longer.

Murong Qi smiled: "You once said that I have no heart, you are not the same, we are the same people."

Seeing that Si Jin didn't speak, Murong Qi didn't force him.

"You stay here properly these days. I will discuss with Prime Minister Zhang about the Empress Dowager Ceremony. As for the throne, no one can take it away from me. You must stay by my side for the rest of your life, even if it is I will trap you here for the rest of my life, and I will not let you leave."
