The ghost king is my wife

one year later.

A plague broke out in Licheng in the northwest.

Gu Jinian sent many experienced imperial doctors to the epidemic area, and at this time, Hu Shi, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly came to the palace.

He said that he was willing to replace a soldier to quell the riots of the people in Licheng.

Gu Jinian was silent for a long time, and finally waited until Hu Shi couldn't kneel anymore, then he suppressed his emotions and opened his mouth.

He didn't stop him, didn't punish him, he just asked him why he did it.

Hu Shi didn't raise his head, but his firm words reached Gu Jinian's ears.

"I dreamed of Xi'er."

In order to repay Gu Jinian's kindness to him, he sticks to Yanzhu country for six full years. During these six years, his thoughts of Xi'er every day and night made him feel heartbroken.

"What about Xiaodie, once you leave, what will she do?"

Hu Shi paused, and Gu Jinian saw that his body was visibly trembling.

The Vanguard Generalissimo lowered his head, and after a while, he forced a smile and said.

"The end will come back."

Afterwards, Gu Jinian didn't say anything, and agreed to his request.

He personally sent him away, and he also knew that this might be the last time.

It is impossible for him to come back, because he has long since lost his desire to survive, and the passion that originally burned in the man's eyes has long since disappeared with the passing of the woman.

He will not come back, and who will be the person who leaves him tomorrow?

The emperor stood in front of the court, staring straight at his marshal until his figure became a little bit, and finally disappeared in the fog.

Another month later, Tang Xuan came back.

The Gu worms have been completely cleaned up, and their corpses did not bring any virus, so the plague in Li City has nothing to do with this matter.

Tang Xuan did not find the Gu worm that swallowed Qiandai.

He didn't find anything, just like he didn't catch anything all those years ago.

Gu Jinian ordered people to build a magnificent Wugu temple on the battlefield where young grass had only recently grown, and placed Chiyo's stone statue in the center of the temple for future generations to worship.

More than a year ago, Quartz's eyes were able to see twilight, and his world was no longer pitch black, but gray. He always hoped that when he opened his eyes again, he would be able to see things again.

After opening his eyes, he could see the man sleeping beside him.

But only staying here, after more than a year of treatment, he has no signs of recovery, and what is even more strange is that recently, he always feels dizzy and nauseous, or sometimes short of breath.

He didn't tell anyone about it, he was afraid that this trivial illness, perhaps just not having a good rest, would disturb others by making a fuss.

He thought, maybe it was just a side effect of the medicine, and it would be fine in a few days.Then, he took the medicine bowl from the maid and drank it down in one gulp.

The medicine was very bitter, and he felt that his body was full of the smell of medicine, and he was about to become that bowl of medicine.

"That... I remember the one given to me by Chief Chiyo before, it's not that bitter..."

He stopped the maid who was about to leave, and the woman stopped abruptly, almost breaking the bowl and spoon.

"Slave...Slaves don't know...that's how it is..." She ran away in a panic.

Quartz felt that something was wrong, called her twice, got out of bed and chased after her, the moment his feet hit the ground, he felt the sky was dark, his mind was heavy, and he fell to the ground.

As soon as Gu Jinian came down, Yuanyuan was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. Her face was full of anxiety, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Something happened to Quartz!"

She cried out in a crying voice, making the legs of the emperor who had been numb for seven years tremble uncontrollably.

Concubine De turned around and ran after saying this, which was in the direction of the Palace of White Nights.

Gu Jinian followed her as if being drawn, but his mind was blank.

He just ran, ran, and kept following her.

But the woman ran faster and faster, and Gu Jinian could hardly keep up.

But he kept running, like a marionette, and kept running.

Yuanyuan had disappeared, and the surroundings were surrounded by white light at some point.

Gu Jinian finally had his own consciousness, he stopped in his tracks.

He's been here, this... place.

He remembered, this weird feeling, that was when he really came 1000 years ago, he entered a space, he always thought it was a dream, but it turned out to be like that.

In other words, as long as he walks out of this white light, can he return to his own world?

As long as he walks out of this white light, he can reunite with Shishi in that rented room in Shizi County...

"Good idea, but unfortunately not."

Ethereal voices came from all directions, Gu Jinian didn't have the panic when he first met, he stood indifferently.

"General Gu, are you here to laugh at me?"

"General Gu? I'm not."

It was the second time that the voice was raised, and it was only after Gu Jinian heard that it was indeed not his own voice.

"Then who are you? What are you going to take away this time?"

He doesn't care who he is, he only cares if his goal is quartz.

He owed him too much, and he always wanted to make up for it in his own way. In the end, not only was it all in vain, but it also made him suffer even more serious injuries.

"You know who I am, I'm the thing you're most afraid of."

"Afraid? No one can make me afraid, Gu Jinian."

"Really? Think again."

That voice seemed to be trying to wear down Gu Jinian's patience. This behavior of deliberately annoying him made Gu Jinian try hard not to go his way.

But during the silence, his brain couldn't help thinking.

Think about who that person could be?

The white light around him made him unable to open his eyes, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what happened to the quartz.

——"Your Majesty, please be careful about your physical condition."

With a jolt, Tang Xuan's voice broke into his mind, and Gu Jinian immediately looked at his hand reflexively.

The palms were pale and bloodless.

The veins on the back of the hand were still black and purple, and very hard.

The Butterfly Effect.

"The Butterfly Effect."

"Well, that's right."

— "It may be an entity, or it may be an event."

——"But they can all torture you so much that you'd rather die."

"what do you want."

"You made me and you know what I want."

"Let him go."

"You're negotiating terms with me, aren't you?"

As soon as it finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, and Gu Jinian closed his eyes as the sudden change of light stimulated him.

When he opened it again, he saw quartz.

The boy was wearing a red dance suit and stood in front of him with a fierce look on his face.

This is... Ghost King Quartz.

He stretched out his hand, and when his fingertips were about to touch him, the boy leaped into the air, rushed towards him, and passed through his body.

Gu Jinian turned around.

The boy is fighting with all his strength against a strong ghost.

"What good is it to you to guard this senseless justice!?"

Gu Jinian heard his boy screaming at the ghost.

The ghost attacked by quartz frowned.

"You don't understand how many times I've witnessed it."

"Stop talking nonsense! Give me your strength!"

"as you wish."

The ghost's expression looked a little surprised, but he took the initiative to withdraw his weapon and devoured a pair of black and white ghosts.

Seeing this, Quartz took a few steps back, he sneered and cut his palm, thick black blood dripped on the ground, and another pair of black and white ghosts slowly emerged.

After that, just in an instant, the strong ghost fell to the ground, and finally turned into a wisp of nothingness and merged into the body of quartz.

He saw his boy froze in place, without moving for a long time.

"did you see it."

A voice came from behind him, and Gu Jinian turned his head.

It was the black ghost that fought the quartz.

"You are the former Rakshasa."

Ghost Shadow looked at Gu Jinian with satisfaction.

"You are smarter than Gu Jinian in any reincarnation."

Reincarnation?

The former Rakshasa finally saw the expression he wanted on his face, he slowly removed the hand on his shoulder, and started to walk back and forth in the black space.

"The grievances between you and Quartz have gone through hundreds of reincarnations, and each time you end up dying, but in the end, he also turned into a murderous ghost."

"It's just different this time, probably due to Tang Yi's sword becoming another butterfly effect against me."

"And Quartz also chose to beat me and take my place differently than before."

"However, the underworld lost its balance because of this, and the future still does not exist."

"And what you have to do..." Luo Chasuo turned her head to face him, the distance was just the quartz and its position. "What you have to do is to end reincarnation and become the underworld."

Become the underworld?

"After I was defeated by Quartz, my power was not completely absorbed by him, but became a delicious meal for ghosts. You know what I'm talking about... I also disappeared like the future."

"But thank you for letting me come here."

The dark space receded slowly, and the gorgeous palace courtyard appeared in front of Gu Jinian following the steps of the receding darkness.

And the memory, also slowly faded away with the fading darkness.

Yuanyuan stood in front of him and tugged at him before he came back to his senses.

It turned out that he was already standing by the quartz bed.

The boy's face was as pale as his own skin.

"He was poisoned for a year without anyone noticing. When the attack occurred, the toxin had already penetrated into the internal organs."

Gu Jinian looked at the comatose boy expressionlessly. For some reason, grief and pain were replaced by an emotion called 'relief' at a certain moment.

"Who, who did it."

East Palace.

Prince's Palace.

Princess Nianxi was chasing a little squirrel in the courtyard, it seemed that Gu Qiyuan bought it specially for her.

Footsteps came from behind the girl, and she happened to catch the squirrel too.

"Brother Qiyuan!"

She let go of the little animal again and ran towards the boy.

Gu Qiyuan is always said to be exactly the same as Gu Ji Nian, and Gu Ji Nian was also so heroic when he was 16 years old.

But he couldn't be happy when he heard it.

He is him, why should he live in the shadow of that man?

"Xiaodie, are you having fun?" Gu Qiyuan firmly caught the girl who rushed over.

"Happy! When will my brother go back to the palace with Xiaodie, Xiaodie wants to be a godfather!"

The prince's face changed, and then returned to normal, but with a trace of other emotions that could not be seen.

"Soon... that day... is almost here."

The little girl was puzzled, but the prince hugged her tightly again.

"I'm going to avenge my mother."

After seeing off Princess Nianxi, the prince stayed up all night, and he was still wearing the noble prince's clothes, sitting upright.

When dawn came, he heard the sound of fighting outside the hall, he sneered and did not move.

It didn't take long before his door was knocked open, and he was knocked to the ground together with his guards.

The leader of the invasion was Gu Jinian's assassination force, and the tough man saluted him reluctantly.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty calls you back to the palace."

Looking at the blood on the ground, the prince raised his eyes.

Then his way of summoning is really special.

The prince was still wearing the clothes that Gu Jinian had tailored for him. Even in this dark and smelly prison cell, he was still as clean as a god in the sky.

Before Gu Jinian ordered his status to be abolished, he was still the prince, so the jailer in charge of torturing the prisoners did not dare to touch him, but just stared at him without daring to neglect him for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, he appeared in the twilight of darkness and dawn.

The ruler of the mainland - Gu Jinian.

The man was wearing a convenient dragon suit, and he descended to this place more like a god than him.

"Tell me, you didn't do it."

He obviously learned from the maid who delivered the medicine that it was the prince's order, but Gu Jinian still wanted to listen to him himself.

"I did it, Father."

The prince stood up, did not bow down, but stared at the emperor unwillingly, piercing the hearts of the two of them word by word.

He will definitely be furious, Gu Qiyuan is not ignorant of how many unconscionable things he has done for that male prostitute named Quartz, so today he will send him back to the west in the same way.

It doesn't matter, at least that prostitute can be buried with him.

Obviously, he had planned revenge for nearly ten years, but at this moment, he didn't feel any pleasure. How long had he not seen his father, and how long had he not fallen into his arms?

It has been more than ten years.

He still remembers that when he was four years old, his father let him ride on his shoulders to go to the temple fair with his mother.

He bought him many small toys, which are still well kept in his treasure chest.

The rattles that can be seen everywhere on the street are the most precious things of the noble and unique prince.

What an irony.

When he saw the emperor showing an unusual expression in the mist, he realized that he was actually crying.

He wiped away the unstoppable tears in embarrassment, and looked away from looking at him directly.

"I will not kill you because you are my child."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the prince widened his black pupils and suddenly looked at his father.

He couldn't believe what he just said, it was definitely an illusion.

"Sorry, I'm not a good father, but I tried to be a good husband and failed."

"I'm a failure and I don't deserve you."

'I am your father and you are my child. '

This is the sentence, all he wants to hear is this sentence...

"Father..."

"I just want you to know that your mother was sent by the prime minister to frame me. It was the prime minister who killed her, not me."

"No... Mother is because of your blame, so..."

"Your mother was killed by the prime minister."

Gu Jinian interrupted him, and firmly told his child the truth.

He didn't want him to know, because in Gu Qiyuan's heart, the prime minister was his grandfather, even if it was pretending, it did leave good memories for his incomplete childhood.

He always hoped that after he left, his child would be a wise king.

"You can't hate Quartz, he is also a victim, if you want to hate, just hate me."

When the emperor faced anything related to quartz, he was always unable to calm down and was very irritable, but today, he had a long talk with the murderer who killed quartz, who was also his only child.

The 16-year-old boy knelt on the ground and called his father, weeping uncontrollably, but the emperor kept his face expressionless, making it hard to see what was carved in the depths of his soul.

"I won't kill you, but I won't see you again either."

The emperor's back gradually drifted away, and Gu Jinian lost his child again today.
