There is a forbidden area in everyone's heart. It is a place that others cannot touch and no harm is tolerated. Once this forbidden area is violated, the usual temperament and habits will often be forgotten and people will go crazy blindly. regardless of costs.
This is exactly the case for Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige now.
As smart as she is, she forgets that he can't be the kind of person who randomly issues siege orders; as cautious as him, she ignores the possibility that there are enemies in the dark with overt guns and hidden arrows.
In the final analysis, it is just a word of love. The deeper the love, the more chaotic it becomes. The caution and vigilance that should be there are now blown away by the moist breeze. A pair of noble dragons and phoenixes that everyone envies are inevitable. Omissions in planning. Relatively confused when faced with an uncertain plan.
The army is approaching and a war is about to begin. Is there any way to delay the time and stop the conflict between Zhao State and Yao State, or to prevent the conflict between Bai Hao City and Yao Huang?
The feeling of being helpless. It turns out to be so painful.
When night fell, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the window. Another heavy rain that no one expected fell quietly. The room was very dark, but no one wanted to light the candle. The two people sitting next to each other on the bed remained in the same posture for a long, long, long time. Once your vision gets used to the darkness, you will become numb.
In the darkness, Bai Qige suddenly said: "The food and grass in the city are enough for about a month. It is not difficult for the second brother to defend the city perimeter when there is enough water and food. However, the sacrifice of both armies is inevitable. During this period, you'd better go back to the palace and try." I have to think of another way. I always feel that there is something fishy about the Emperor."
"It depends on the situation. We have to wait until the battle ends tomorrow."
Bai Qige was silent for a long time. She gently pushed Yi Chenjing's arm: "It's time for you to go back."
"Stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning." Yi Chenjing replied without hesitation. At the same time, he tightened his arms and forced Bai Qige closer to his chest. "It's going to rain outside. Wouldn't it be suspicious to come back covered in rain at this time?" You can’t say that I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and went for a walk in the rain.”
"What if the rain hasn't stopped tomorrow morning? I simply won't go back."
"We'll talk about tomorrow morning. There's nothing we can do about returning in the rain. Since it will arouse people's suspicion, why don't I just enjoy the night before returning. Anyway, the result will be the same."
The almost irrational explanation made Bai Qige dumbfounded. She punched him on the back, not lightly but not hard. Yi Chenjing fell down on the bed. The two of them lay face to face, hugging each other. They closed their eyes, but no one felt sleepy. She could only understand the charm. After undressing and reaching this point, desires and the like no longer matter to them. It is enough for two people to be able to talk and look at each other together.
Being able to live together is a luxury.
Emotions that have nothing to do with desire are the rarest. Although Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige's journey was troubled step by step, it was enviable. In the gloomy and sunless palace of Yaoguo, there were always people thinking of them all the time. tacit understanding.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you to seize the throne. Why go to all the trouble to make it so complicated? Could it be that you are really in love with Bai Qige. You can't bear to see her and Jing'er as a couple."
In the inner hall of Ziyun Palace, the queen sat upright on the edge of the dragon couch. Her cold eyes looked at the man standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
"I never knew the Queen was so good at joking." Yi Chenxuan half-turned around with a mocking smile on his lips. "Which woman in Yaohing Palace is not hundreds of times better than Bai Qige. Only someone with a brain problem like Lao Qi can do that. The queen is insulting my eyes by falling in love with her."
"In this case, you only need to manipulate the emperor to write an imperial edict to depose the prince. You also forced Bai Qige to flee back to Zhao Kingdom, and sent Jing'er to lead an army to conquer. What are the disgusting designs? If you say Because of hatred, we can arrest Jing'er, torture and kill her. There is no need to go to such trouble, right?"
Yi Chenxuan chuckled and turned his gaze back to the window: "Before, without the Wu Clan's Soul-Calling Technique, it was difficult for me to force my father to pass the throne. Now it is a piece of cake. But I suddenly want to play. I want to see the seventh child. The pained expression when she and Bai Qige, that bitch, reached a dead end. The queen should know. Lao Qi and I have been fighting before the eldest brother was dethroned as crown prince. And I was always above him at that time. Until Bai Qige appeared. "
The queen's hands were tightly tied with ropes. However, this did not hinder the freedom of her eyes and thoughts. Three-thirds of her energy was spent listening to Yi Chenxuan's words, and the remaining seventy-fourths of her energy was invested in making eye contact with Yaohuang.
Previously, both Yi Chenjing and the Queen had suspected that it was not Emperor Yao who had recently issued the imperial edict. However, Eunuch Tao insisted that he saw Emperor Yao speaking and writing the edict with his own eyes. It was only when the Queen broke into Ziyun Palace alone that she was shocked. No one can say anything. That's right. But this game is too weird and mysterious.
The Witch Clan. A terrifying clan that uses strange power and witchcraft to control people's actions. A clan that was trampled and killed by Yao Huang with his iron hoofs. A clan member who managed to escape has now become Yao Huang's nightmare. It was the mysterious man who used the copper bell in his hand to conjure up the magic clan. The divine incense controlled Yaohuang to make many surprising decisions.
In fact, the ring of copper bells has limited control over people. For example, Bai Qige and the Queen. They have all heard the ring. But they are both determined people who do not believe in strange powers and gods. Therefore, the Queen is not affected at all. But Bai Qige Only when he was distracted by Yi Chenxuan's words and couldn't concentrate, he was bewitched and lost a memory. Emperor Yao had been ill for a long time and relied on seven-point poisonous medicine to survive. His body was extremely weak. After losing his concubine, he even lost his spirit. Many. In addition, there have been conflicts between Yi Chenjing and his son recently due to the affairs of Yanhu State. When the mood is extremely bad, it is inevitable to feel empty. That's why I fell in love with the mysterious man.
Fortunately, capturing souls with ringtones is a job that requires both physical and mental effort. The mysterious man only controls Yao Huang when he needs to come forward to do something. At other times, he is free to control Yao Huang's body. Anyway, he has controlled Yao Huang's body for a long time. It's so bad that he can't even speak or move independently. What can he do if he is given freedom?
What neither the mysterious person nor Yi Chenxuan could have imagined was that it was this freedom from being ignored that gave Emperor Yao and the Queen the opportunity to communicate.
They rode horses side by side. They had a good understanding. They went through the first ups and downs of the dynasty together... With just one look, many things they wanted to say could be conveyed silently.
The communication between the Queen and Emperor Yao was carried out quietly. The mysterious man was closing his eyes and concentrating in the corner. Yi Chenxuan continued his words. He was cold and sinister.
"I have been fighting with Lao Qi for so many years. If he simply died, it would cause trouble to me. Even though I have brought him so much pain, I miss him very much in my heart. I can't bear to let him die." Zhang's wild laughter echoed in the inner hall. The queen turned to look at Yi Chenxuan. The face that should have been handsome and beautiful was distorted and looked like a madman. She probably didn't notice the queen's gaze. There was no hint of a ferocious smile on Yi Chenxuan's face. There was no restraint: "Bai Qige...Bai Qige...this woman is really a treasure. Without her, how could I have taught Lao Qi to suffer so much. Concubine Jing died. Lao Qi was left with that woman to hold on to like a treasure. But I want to smash his treasure... I want to see what Lao Qi can do for her."
"You are crazy. What you want is not the throne at all, but a plaything that can satisfy your despicable heart." The queen spoke lightly. A pair of quiet eyes seemed to see through Yi Chenxuan's appearance, penetrating into every inch of him. skeleton.
Yi Chenxuan did not get angry. He shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say. A hundred years from now, who will remember you, a queen who was relegated to the cold palace? The common people will only remember the two shameful princes and the one who turned the tide in the chaos. The wise prince of the world and the future king is me, Yi Chenxuan."
Yi Chenxuan suddenly became calm. The huge contrast between before and after was horrifying. A pair of eyes without any warmth or emotion moved towards Yao Huang.
"Father, do you know what the sweet dream I have been having is?" Yaohuang, who was speechless, naturally could not answer. Yi Chenxuan smiled. His voice became colder. "I can't remember how many times. I always dream. See, Lao Qi is kneeling in front of me like a dog. Father, it’s a pity that you can’t go with me. Otherwise, seeing your most beloved son being humiliated by me, your expression will definitely be very interesting.”
The queen's heart sank and she scolded sharply: "Yi Chenxuan, what do you want to do... They are your father and biological brothers."
"No. They are not. The only one who can be called my relatives in this world is myself."
After putting aside the cold words, Yi Chenxuan stopped entangled with the queen. He walked straight to the mysterious man and clapped his hands. The mysterious man opened his eyes and came closer. The two whispered a few words. Then Yi Chenxuan turned around, with a smile on his face. With a suffocating sinister smile.
Over the past few days, she had personally experienced all kinds of weird and unimaginable scenes. The queen knew that this was the mysterious man who was beginning to control Yaohuang. She couldn't help clenching her fists, and a cold feeling flowed through her body from the bottom of her heart.
The so-called soul-stirring technique will cause great burdens to both the caster and the controlled person. Yaohuang's health is not good. Continuous torture has left him on the verge of death. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive until someone comes to rescue him. That day, Yi Chenxuan, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, certainly didn't think about this. He waved his hand and the mysterious man walked up to Yaohuang. The bell vibrated, and a crisp ringing tone with a bewitching rhythm rang out. Then he whispered in Yaohuang's ear. After a few words, those eyes that struggled not to be controlled gradually lost their luster and became blurry and dim.
The arm that had lost strength for a long time was slightly raised under the urging of the terrible force. She scrawled an imperial edict. The queen could not see what was written on it. Her anxious eyes kept calling Yaohuang, but she never got a response. Yi Chen Xuan put away the written imperial edict and put it in his sleeve. He lowered his head slightly and gave some instructions to the mysterious man. Then he called Eunuch Tao to get an oil-paper umbrella. He seemed to be planning to leave.
"The matters here are temporarily left to you, Eunuch Tao. Princess Yanluo's escort will be here soon. I hope Eunuch Tao will not do anything stupid while I am away to disappoint you." There was a threat in his soft tone. Eunuch Tao was sweating profusely. Responding repeatedly, Yi Chenxuan showed a satisfied smile. Before leaving the house, he did not forget to bow to the queen. There was no respect at all. It was just a pretense.
Compared to this, it was the words he left that made the queen secretly shocked and her heart felt cold.
"I'm going to Zhao Kingdom for a visit. I want to see what the seventh brother has brought with me to see my father. Either he kills Bai Qige and brings him to the meeting, or he punishes him for conspiring to usurp the throne. What does the queen think of this game?"
