The pale moonlight shot into the bedroom from the window lattice and fell on the face of Yan Bolong who was sleeping soundly. He was really too tired today.

Not only was the body tired, but the mind was also tired. Therefore, even a pampered prince fell asleep quickly while sitting in such a cramped chair.

However, at this moment, Yan Bolong, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly disturbed by a strange rustling sound.

This sound made his consciousness gradually wake up from the trance. However, due to sleepiness, his eyelids were not very responsive. He opened his eyes two or three times but could not fully open them.

However, Yan Bolong's ears woke up earlier than his eyes. The hearing that woke up first allowed him to hear the rustling sound.

The sound was not loud, but it came out continuously, so that the sleeping Yanbolong had to pay attention to it.

Just now, he judged from the sound that came into his ears one after another that the sound was a bit like a person sucking something with his mouth... It sounded very disturbing.

At this time, Yan Bolong, who was still not too sober, thought to himself:

"Is the queen mother eating or drinking something?..." It is indeed possible.

The queen didn't eat much during the day. It was very possible for the queen to wake up and have a midnight snack if she was hungry.

"But, why are you eating in your father's palace?" This is very strange. You must know that the Queen is a delicate person, and she usually attaches great importance to some etiquette and manners. No matter how hungry she is, she will not do it.

Let's have a meal in His Majesty King Yan's palace.

Moreover, it is even more impossible for a queen who is well-mannered to make such unpleasant and rude noises while eating.

This is a little unusual... Yan Bolong was very curious. He thought to himself:

"Could it be that some palace maid was hungry and was stealing food here?" Thinking like this, he wanted to open his eyes and take a closer look.

At this time, he raised his eyelids. The scene in the outer hall of the palace slowly came into view. In a daze, Yan Bolong discovered that many of the lights in the hall had been extinguished at some point.

.

A few scattered lights could not fully illuminate the hall, causing everything in the room to be hidden in black and become extremely gloomy.

In this way, he could only rely on the light of a few lamps that were not extinguished to barely see everything in front of him clearly. After about two breaths, Yan Bolong's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

At this time, he could see some of the scenery in front of him more clearly. Finally, he knew what was happening in the palace!

In the haziness, Yan Bolong discovered that not far away from him, there was a strange person standing with his back to him.

Who is that figure, wearing a nightgown and with hair disheveled? Yan Bolong stared at that figure with a confused look on his face.

He was very curious. Before falling asleep, he clearly stayed with his mother. They sat together in the outer hall of the palace, keeping each other company until sleepiness hit him.

But the person standing there with her back to him at this moment is obviously not Queen Liu. So who is this figure wearing a nightgown?

Why did it suddenly appear here and now? After looking at it intently for a while, Yan Bolong suddenly discovered a problem.

That nightgown actually looks familiar! It seems like I have seen it somewhere... But, among the dignitaries in the palace, who would wear a nightgown walking around?

Besides, it was still in the palace of His Majesty King Yan... This was indeed a bit abnormal! So Yan Bolong stood up from the chair.

He wanted to go up and see what was going on. He wanted to see what the man with his back to him was doing.

At this time, Yan Bolong had already noticed that the rustling sound he heard in his sleep, like a sound of sucking something, was exactly the person with his back to him, wearing a

From the person wearing the nightgown.

It's really weird!... Curiosity drove Yan Bolong to stand up from the chair, then quietly moved towards the figure.

As his footsteps moved, the distance between him and the man in a nightgown with disheveled hair became closer and closer.

Soon, they were only a few feet away from each other. Now that the distance was close, Yan Bolong stared at the back of the man's head and carefully asked:

"Who are you?" The guy in a nightgown with his hair hanging down immediately stopped sucking after hearing this question.

Then, he slowly turned his head. At this moment, Yan Bolong finally saw this man's face clearly!

The skin on his face was slightly loose, and he looked like an octogenarian who had lost his appearance. However, even so, Yan Bolong could still tell his identity from his appearance!

"Father?..." That's right! This flabby-skinned man with disheveled hair and wearing a nightgown is none other than the King of Yan, Yan Huanren.

Seeing his father appear here like this, Yan Bolong was very curious. During the day, his father's face looked like a skeleton covered only with a layer of dry human skin, and he couldn't even see his human form.

But now, although his face is saggy and full of wrinkles, it at least looks like it has some flesh and blood and vitality, and no longer looks like a skeleton that seems to die at any moment.

But the strange thing is here. After spending a whole day with him in the palace, Yan Bolong was very aware of his father's state.

During this day, my father only took a little porridge and decoction, and didn't eat anything. How could he recover so quickly?

It was so sudden! The condition of my father’s body not only came and went quickly!

It’s really unbelievable! This makes Yan Bolong feel a little confused...

"What's going on?" However, confusion remains confusion, no matter what...now that my father has recovered and can still walk normally.

It was something worth celebrating. As the eldest prince, Yan Bolong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank God that his father was okay! So, after calming down a little, he planned to step forward and help his father's arm so that he could ask his father what his needs and instructions were when he got up late at night.

But at this moment, Yan Huanren turned his body completely around. Then, Yan Bolong saw a terrifying scene!

I saw that my father was holding something in his hands at this time! To be precise, it was a corpse. It was a white-bones skeleton dressed in rich clothes and with a head of thick black hair!

Yan Bolong was shocked when he saw this. When he saw clearly the clothes on the skeleton, he immediately recognized its identity.

It was his mother! Queen Liu! Yan Bolong was stunned. His eyes were filled with fear. His steps moved back involuntarily.

Staring at his father, Yan Bolong seemed to have seen a ghost, and his face gradually turned pale. As he backed away, he asked in a trembling voice:

"Father!...You!...What are you going to do?..."

"Bah!" Yan Huanren didn't reply, but just threw the skeleton in his hand, dressed in rich clothes, on the ground.

He used his red eyes to stare at Yan Bolong, who had an ugly face and kept retreating.

Then the body shook! It turned into an afterimage and rushed over. Yan Bolong was shocked! He only felt that his eyes were blurred, and the next moment, his father's terrifying face was already close to him!

Immediately afterwards, both shoulders were firmly grasped. No matter how much I struggled, I couldn't move. The strength was so strong that my shoulders were painfully grasped.

But before he had time to shout for help, Yan Bolong saw his father open his bloody mouth and bite his neck fiercely... In an instant, he lost consciousness.

After five breaths, Yan Bolong's body also turned into a skeleton. Immediately, Yan Huanren raised his face from his neck.
