Your Majesty doesn't know

When He Zichen woke up, the tears had dried up, and the sunlight slanted in from outside the window, sprinkled on his face, and sprinkled on Sheng Ling's silver-white hair.

He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, Sheng Ling stood up, moved his position, and blocked the sunlight for him.He Zichen stopped his movements, lay on the bed with his head tilted and looked at Sheng Ling for a moment, as if he was in a daze.

Sheng Ling hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, and called out tentatively, "...Zichen?"

"Well," He Zichen blinked slowly, reached out to grab Sheng Ling's hand, after a while, he smiled lightly, his eyes slightly bent, and he said, "Sheng Ling, he's back, Ziyang is back gone."

"Yes, Ziyang is back." Sheng Ling didn't withdraw his hand and let him hold it.

Although he didn't want to disturb his quiet joy, he had to remind him of some facts. Sheng Ling said, "Zichen, Ziyang... has become a demon."

"Huh?" He Zichen glanced at him, then said "Huh" casually.

Seeing that Sheng Ling was still looking at him, he sighed slightly, sat up and said seriously: "I heard it and understood it, but I don't care what he has become, I only know...he is Ziyang."

Probably because a long dream calmed his heart, He Zichen was very calm, but he knew in his heart that he had never been so happy in his life, his heart was full of luck and hope, and it was so full that it made his apex feel a little sour.

What could be more joyful than finding something lost?Even though this joy may be based on pain, it makes people feel extraordinarily precious.

Now that Ziyang is back, what does it matter if he becomes a demon or a ghost?

He Zichen was even a little fortunate in his heart, no matter what changes happened to Ziyang, if this change made Ziyang return to him, he would be sincerely grateful.As for the rest, it doesn't matter.

Sheng Ling was slightly taken aback, as if surprised by his calmness, instead he held his hand and nodded solemnly: "Well, we will definitely find him."

No matter what he has experienced and what changes have taken place in the past few years, he will always be the warm and clear Ziyang in his memory.

Tens of thousands of years ago, after the great war between gods and demons, the three realms collapsed, and the gods fell and returned to heaven and earth to maintain the only remaining realm;

However, the world is full of evil energy, and there is nowhere to dispel it.

Under the leadership of a white phoenix, a divine bird that broke out of its shell after the battle between gods and demons, a Lich man repaired all the demonic energy into the huge crack left by the mountain and ground during the battle. Qi seal, its fragmented spirit scattered among all living beings, became the destiny of the next generation of national teachers.

And the fissure in the ground that hides demons and accepts evil, the bottomless and endless abyss, is called the Tibetan Abyss.

The Tibetan abyss stretches across the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and there are countless cracks extending on all sides. No one can tell where they are distributed.

That day, Sheng Ling roughly guessed that the abyss outside the cave was probably one of the countless cracks in the hidden abyss. Although he was vigilant in his heart, he didn't really think that he would die if he approached it.

Speaking of it, Cangyuan is considered the most dangerous place in the peaceful Yousheng Kingdom, but it has been silent for tens of thousands of years, no matter how dangerous it is, it is just like the dying corpse of a ferocious beast, it is difficult to arouse fear.

Ziyang's death completely destroyed the originally peaceful life. It was the source of He Zichen's guilt and pain, but why not Sheng Ling's regret?

If he had the foresight, even if he tried his best, he would not let those two go back.

……

"Cough..." The two were looking at each other tenderly, when Asher suddenly appeared at the door, coughed in embarrassment, and glanced meaningfully at the hands they held.

He Zichen really didn't have any evil thoughts at first, and that grip was just a natural intimacy between bamboo and horses. Asking Asher to cough so warningly, he also began to feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

He let go of his hand as naturally as possible, and asked with a smile, "Ashe, what's the matter?"

Sheng Ling withdrew his hand behind his back without any trace, looked at Asher and asked, "Any clues?"

"Yes, Holy Master!" Asher put away his exposing expression, and reported seriously, "Actually, you don't need to bother to find it at all...you haven't left the city yet."

He Zichen's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about... Ziyang? He's still there? Seriously?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Asher replied, looked at Sheng Ling again, and asked hesitantly, "Holy Master, that...it, I mean, the former eldest son, what should we do? Are... monsters running rampant?"

Hearing the word "monster", He Zichen's heart was slightly stabbed, he frowned, but he still didn't say anything.

After all...he is no longer the impulsive, willful, young and frivolous He Zichen he was back then.

"His name is He Ziyang." Sheng Ling also looked a little gloomy. He waved his hands, turned his back to Ashe and said, "I will handle this matter myself. You just need to keep up with him before then."

Asher wanted to say something, but Sheng Ling interrupted him again: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my responsibility as a national teacher."

"I'll go with you!" He Zichen hurriedly said, seeing Sheng Ling nodded, and then told Asher, "Ashe, this matter must not be made public, and no one outside the Zhaixing Tower must know."

The "resurrection" of the current monarch, He Zichen, is already appalling, but after all, the master of the state insisted that he was not dead, and others could not be sure that he was really dead.But it is an indisputable fact that the Eldest Prince He Ziyang fell into the hidden abyss back then, even if others did not see it with their own eyes, the Eldest Prince has indeed disappeared for so many years.

Now, the eldest son who has been dead for many years has reappeared. On the one hand, this may make people suspect that the younger son and the holy son were lying; The obvious changes in the body can still be seen after all.

When evil spirits descend into the world, once these four words come out, people in the living country will be panicked, and once the hearts of the people are confused, there will be more chaos in this world.

They wanted to hide this matter wholeheartedly, but with so many eyes and ears in the palace, how could it be so easy not to leak the news.

He Zichen packed up his simple luggage and was about to set out with Sheng Ling to look for Ziyang. At this time, the Queen Mother heard the news from somewhere, and rushed over with the help of a group of maids, wiping away tears.

"Chenchen, Chenchen!" Seeing him dressed up, the queen mother believed in the rumor even more when she knew that he was really going to leave the palace.

She held He Zichen's arm tightly and couldn't stop shaking it, her expression was very excited: "They said... they said they saw Yang Yang, didn't they? Did my brother not die at all? Did he come back?!"

He Zichen stood there and let her shake, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Back then, Ziyang's death hit the father, monarch, and mother empress very hard, and it was at that time that the empress mother gradually became delirious.Now, Ziyang has returned in another form, but he doesn't know whether this is comfort or another blow to his mother.

But since she already knew it, she couldn't put it down. After all, Ziyang was also the queen mother's child, and she had the right to know the truth of the matter.

"Mother, yes, Ziyang is back."

He Zichen lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the Empress Dowager's face, he said softly, "He's back, but... he's no longer the former Ziyang."

"No longer, no longer the former Yangyang?" The queen mother was a little puzzled, and repeated it several times in a murmur, her eyes suddenly fixed on He Zichen, "What does this mean?"

"Ziyang..." He Zichen said with some difficulty, "He has become a demon, not a human being."

"It's not a person, it's not a person..." The queen mother gritted her teeth, her expression was shaken, and there were faint tears in her eyes, she lowered her head slightly, hiding the secret disappointment in her eyes.

"So, back then..." After a while, she raised her head again, looking at He Zichen with sharp eyes, as if she was confirming something very important, "Yang Yang really fell into the Tibetan abyss and died, right? "

He Zichen was startled, a little surprised that this was what she cared about, he nodded and said, "Yes."

The Empress Dowager's complexion instantly became extremely slumped, the hand holding his forearm unconsciously let go, and the whole person staggered a small step backwards.

"Mother!" He Zichen hurriedly supported her, and comforted her in a warm voice, "Mother, don't be sad, no matter what, Ziyang is still here, isn't it better than anything else? No matter what he has become now, he is My brother is your child."

"...Yes, Chenchen is right."

After a long while of silence, the Queen Mother finally nodded, and moved away from He Zichen's hand without any trace, her eyes were so calm that she felt a little chilly, she glanced at Sheng Ling at the side, this time she did not yell again, and asked in a calm tone: "You guys?" Are you going to bring Yangyang back now?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes." Sheng Ling replied in the same calm tone.

The queen mother waved her hands wearily, and said slowly: "Okay, you go."

Sheng Ling grabbed He Zichen's wrist, put the other hand on his chest, bowed his head and said, "Sheng Ling resigns."

He Zichen walked out with Sheng Ling, and said as he walked, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find my brother and bring him back to you properly!"

The queen mother didn't make a sound, she just stood there silently.

It wasn't until they left for a long time that she turned around and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve. There were wisps of black air lingering on the jade pendant, which looked a bit inexplicably weird.The Empress Dowager held the jade pendant with special care, caressing it affectionately, her movements were gentle and familiar, as if she had done it thousands of times.

She faced the direction where He Zichen left, looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and murmured to herself, "My son, when will you return to your mother's side?"

After leaving the palace, the two walked on the street.

Red men and green women in the city, with yellow hair hanging down, these people who live at the foot of the emperor and are protected by the Star Picking Tower are the most ordinary and vulnerable beings in the living country.And outside the city, there are many other creatures that are different from them.

He Zichen rested his elbow on Sheng Ling's shoulder and said casually, "Is there any misunderstanding between you and my queen mother?"

"There is no misunderstanding." Sheng Ling looked calm, his voice was as calm as his expression, and he said, "In this world, it is impossible for any mother to have a good face towards the murderer who killed her child. It is an accident that the Queen Mother is so calm today."

He Zichen stopped in his tracks, looked at Sheng Ling's cold side face, and suddenly had the urge to crush this look that seemed to never care about anything.

"Sheng Ling..." He walked up to Sheng Ling, stared at him for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Can't you say it, won't you deny it?! I... You didn't kill me! Why do you have to confess to a crime that has nothing to do with you?!"

this person...

He Zichen thought, this person really doesn't care about himself, no matter what others think of him, he will never argue, right?

Back then, even if Sheng Ling couldn't speak, he would at least be angry, wronged, and unwilling, but now this Sheng Ling doesn't even have these emotions.Is it silent for too long and never speak again?Are you used to taking the blame after being misunderstood many times? !

However, even if he himself is used to being silent, used to being slandered, and used to being regarded as a scourge by everyone, He Zichen can't get used to it, can't bear it!Even if Sheng Ling didn't care about it himself, he couldn't help... His heart aches.

Why, why do those people take it for granted that Sheng Ling did all the evil things?Why should he be charged with such a huge crime? !

An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf?A murderer who lost his conscience and killed his best friend?A sinister national teacher who is ambitious, kills the king and seeks power, controls the government with one hand, and makes the court dare not speak out?

Oh, it's a joke!

"Is there any difference?" Sheng Ling looked at him calmly, and said calmly, "Although I didn't intend to harm you, you died because of me."
