my demon

An Guogong rolled up his sleeves, took a stick, and chased Wei Fanjun angrily: "I told you hundreds of times to avoid those idiots in Prince Jin's Mansion, and you still go to provoke them! Now the whole capital knows that you are competing with the prince of Qiyang County to buy it!" Qinghu caused Qiyang County King to be bitten by a mad dog, and then the emperor still protects our An Guogong Mansion, and even let the dog dealer go!"

An Guogong was so angry that he stood in the middle of the courtyard and panted heavily: "Stinky boy, don't run away! Don't think that if you find Zhu Rufeng, you will be able to protect you and make enemies. You dislike my life for too long! It is said that my Anguo Gong's mansion is so powerful that even Jin Wang's mansion has to give way!"

Wei Fanjun stood on the railing and said, "I told you it wasn't me! He jumped out suddenly and insisted on grabbing something from me! Then the dog also went crazy by himself!"

An Guogong said angrily: "Then why didn't the emperor even let the dog dealer be arrested? He even said that he was possessed by evil spirits! The whole capital saw it as a joke! He only said that the emperor was protecting him!"

Wei Fanjun said: "I think it's bewitched! The situation that day was very evil! The dog rushed at him as if he had been bewitched. The emperor is wise and powerful, and he really knows everything! I think it's Xiao Yunrong who did evil things too much. Too much, retribution! Retribution is coming!"

An Guogong smiled instead of anger: "You really hit the snake with the stick, can you see which letter is there outside?"

Zhu Rufeng has already arrived at the bottom: "Actually, it was the prince of Qiyang County who offended the emperor, and the emperor was very angry, so he didn't pursue it. The foster father calmed down. This matter really has nothing to do with Fanjun. In a few days, then The prince of Qiyang County is bound to be in bad luck."

An Guogong saw Zhu Rufeng at a glance, and his heart was even worse. Wei Fanjun was still on the top and saw Zhu Rufeng coming: "That's right, the prince of Qiyang County thought that the emperor's master was Hu Ji, and said You want to exchange some beauties with me! The emperor must be angry!"

An Guogong was stunned, and suddenly realized: "That is to say, this pot, our An Guogong's house has decided against it?" Is it related to the emperor?

Before Wei Fanjun could react, he opened his mouth wide: "What?"

Zhu Rufeng said: "The emperor will definitely not let the emperor's teacher get involved, so we can only compete to buy Qinghu." He looked at Anguogong's ashen face, and said with relief: "Anyway, Anguogong's mansion has a lot of blame. That's it, it's not bad."

An Guogong glared at Zhu Rufeng, seeing that he was still loyal and honest, his heart became more and more aggrieved, he waved his sleeves, out of sight, out of mind, and left!

Wei Fanjun jumped off the railing, Zhu Rufeng stepped forward to help him, Wei Fanjun said stupidly: "What pot?"

Zhu Rufeng said: "How is it possible for the emperor to let Mr. Jiu Yao be talked about by the public? Naturally, no one will reveal that Mr. Jiu Yao is among them. You have rarely gone out recently."

Wei Fanjun said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, it's not Xiao Yunrong's thing. I used to play well in Beijing, but since he came to Beijing, he has specifically confronted me. Where I drink, he has to go Stealing the limelight with me... He intercepted the things I ordered several times!"

Zhu Rufeng said: "Don't pay attention to him, he's used to running rampant in the fiefdom, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he entered Beijing. In the first few years, the emperor was busy with wars and government affairs, so he didn't have time to deal with them. Now that he has caused trouble, how can he let it go?" he."

Wei Fanjun said: "The emperor is wise, but I think the old concubine is here, I am afraid that the emperor will miss the old love, forget it..."

Zhu Rufeng laughed: "Can there be any old love." He thought for a while and added: "Sir, he may have been tired after shopping yesterday, but he had a fever last night, so he didn't say anything. The emperor found out this morning. Doctor Jiang was invited early in the morning."

Wei Fanjun was surprised when he heard this and asked concerned: "Ah, did the dog scare you yesterday, and the weather was so hot, and you walked for half a day in the smelly carriage, no wonder I saw that Mr. Wu's face was not very good yesterday. "

Zhu Rufeng said: "It's okay. Physician Jiang said that it's the same as before, and he's restless. Take a good rest for a few days. It's best not to go anywhere, think less, just rest quietly."

But that son will be miserable. Today the emperor found that Mr. Wu's expression when he had a fever was really... almost missed the court. Fortunately, the medicine hall next door bought it, and Dr. Jiang is next door. Come here Quick, after feeling the pulse, he said it's all right, so he went up to court with a dark face.

Don't mention that Anguo Gong's mansion is flying like dogs, Jin Wang's mansion is back to the mansion, so the king invited the princess over, and his attitude was very unhappy: "What's the matter? Mother and concubine want to enter the palace, why don't you stop me? Now who in the capital is not laughing that we can't even compare with An Guogong's mansion?"

The concubine said: "Don't you know what kind of temper my concubine is? What can I do if she wants to enter the palace? She dotes on the second child so much. She heard that she was bitten by a dog. Then she heard that it was because she was with Duke An's mansion." Xiao Shisun, how can she bear her domineering temper? Now the family is hiding it from her, if they know that even the dog dealer has been released, I am afraid that even the Jingzhao Yin Mansion can take people to smash it."

King Jin frowned: "The emperor called me into the palace today, and he blamed me for not being filial to my mother and concubine. Yuqian, show people a joke. I pleaded so hard that I lost all face. The emperor didn't listen to my explanation, so he let me out of the palace. You didn't see the emperor's face, but you didn't think of brotherhood. "

Concubine Jin was a little worried and said: "The emperor didn't punish you, did he? I saw that the emperor's face was not very good yesterday. What did the mother and concubine say about the third prince and the emperor's nephew, and he was bullied? Come out, the emperor's face changed."

King Jin snorted coldly: "He really wants to get rid of us. In terms of blood relationship, who can kiss our side? When the crown prince was established, he insisted on choosing the son of Prince Rui on the side of the eldest princess. This is forgetting his roots, without us, can he be where he is today?"

How could Princess Jin dare to say these things, and she could only say: "At that time, the war was at a critical moment, and if the reserve position had not been decided, how could the emperor lead the conquest by himself, and besides, the emperor couldn't say anything at that time." Speaking of the emperor, How about wise, who would have thought that he would turn the tide at the age of 16, relying on one person to defend the capital of the capital, and secure the throne?If he hadn't sat down firmly, they would have this family of three kings. Princess Jin silently complained about the confounding arguments of her mother-in-law and her husband. She really thought it was a great kindness for the emperor to come out of the mother's belly. Now I am afraid that Pian An will continue to be a puppet emperor in Xijing?

Seeing that the King of Jin was still venting his anger: "All these noble families in Beijing are in deep water. Before entering Beijing, I told you that the Palace of the Great Princess and the Mansion of Anguo are not to be messed with. The civil servants are very talkative, so don't provoke the civil servants, and only focus on attracting people. I heard that Yun Rong has always been in trouble with the son of the Duke of An's house, and that's why he got so angry?"

Princess Jin said: "At that time, the emperor asked me, but I couldn't answer. When I came back, I arrested the two young men who usually followed Yun Rong and asked them for a while, only to find out that it was Yun Rong who came to Beijing at that time. Others didn't know him. The first time we played polo, the little boy from the Wei family robbed the ball and stole the limelight, so I kept it in my heart, and then I kept fighting."

Jin Wang was furious: "That's it? The second daughter-in-law doesn't care about him? In my opinion, this dog bites well!"

Concubine Jin curled her lips, and King Jin said: "Forget it, take care of An Rong in our family, don't spoil it—and don't go to the concubine mother, the concubine mother spoils her grandson too much, spoiling us will hurt us. Hurry up and study hard."

King Jin thought for a while and said: "How to do this, you first send someone to Anguo Gong's mansion to give a generous gift, saying that you didn't ask clearly about the matter at that time, you wronged the young master of the mansion, and apologized to him. Then during this period Our palace does not see visitors behind closed doors, nor does it go to other people’s homes, we only say that the mother concubine is sick, let it out, saying that it is sad and depressed, and then spread the word that the kid at the second family’s legs is not good, and it may delay walking.”

Concubine Jin was stunned: "Why do you want to do this? Besides, concubine mother...she can't stay." It sounds like an old concubine, but in fact she is only in her fifties. Spraying on her body, others see her as the emperor's biological mother, so she can only bear it, sometimes she feels that maybe she died from overwork, and the old princess can live happily for another 50 years. It's on!

King Jin said: "Hehe, isn't the emperor going to get rid of it? He relies heavily on the Duke of An and the Palace of the Grand Princess. This matter, the grievance lies with our palace! The grievance is big! We have done enough, let everyone see. Anguo Are you powerful, sir? Are you a veteran of the three dynasties? You can force the emperor's biological mother to become ill. This powerful minister is bullying others. Let's see what people in the world say! What does the emperor treat his biological mother like? Where is the filial piety? No matter how polite he is, he can't make up for the fact that he came out of the belly of our mother and concubine and is a brother with us!"

Concubine Jin was stunned: "Will the emperor be angry?"

King Jin sneered: "We have to punish him. What kind of wise and holy king is he going to be? Can he bear such a big stain of treating his biological mother so harshly?"

Princess Jin hesitated for a while and said: "I went home a few days ago, and my family members reminded me that although the emperor is lenient, he is not soft-tempered. I have been keeping a low profile for so many years, and now that the Queen Mother is forced to stay in Xijing and only talk about recuperation, I know that the Emperor is not a helpless person."

King Jin laughed: "He was just lucky. He encountered the war in the north. King Duan died in battle. He had no way to go. He was framed up by a group of civil servants, so he had to appoint a prince and defend the capital to the death. Unexpectedly, he fought with his back. I just got lucky and won, I heard that Beidi had a bad luck, at that time, the second prince did not know why there was a plague in the army, and all the people in the city died overnight! That's why he took advantage of it."

The king of Jin sighed, "This is because of his good luck. At the beginning when we chose an heir, he was the only one who was the right age in our family. He was sent to Beijing. She said that the Queen Mother chose him because she saw that he was quiet and handsome. It's fate, and we have to obey him, we are indeed worse than luck, we were born a few years earlier, and we are the eldest son, so we have to inherit the title."

"He has had a weird temper since he was a child. He doesn't like to laugh or talk, and he's not lovable. I still remember when my concubine said that he was born with a soft heart and a hard heart! You see, you are right now? Now There is my biological mother here, three brothers, so many nephews, his arms are turned out, you didn't see the face he gave me today, it's not that he is my brother, I don't accept him This anger!"

===

Prime Minister Ji held the imperial decree drafted by the inner study and was speechless: "Your Majesty, at a time when there is a lot of discussion in Beijing, it may not be appropriate to confer the title of Prince and Grand Master on Master Tongwei."

Xiao Yan went up in the morning and saw the Lich still asleep, and touched the hot forehead. Although he reluctantly invited Jiangxinyu to see that he was fine, he had nowhere to vent his anger. Agreed, but was getting angry, and said coldly: "'Government by the gods, the people don't know the merits', sir, saving the destiny and saving the people, the merits will last for thousands of years, this prince and master, I still feel that his achievements are not enough."

Ji Tongzhen sighed: "Your Majesty, Fan Zuosi told me in detail about the merits of the emperor's teacher. The emperor's master is a talent in the world. It is the blessing of the court that you want to use him again. But you have to think for the emperor's teacher. His appearance is really attractive." Eyes, it is about ghosts and gods. King Duan also told me that it is a taboo thing after all. The matter between Prince Jin's Mansion and Duke Anguo's Mansion is the reason why there is such a commotion. If you make this order, King Jin will consciously accept it. Wronged, once you see him, don’t you feel angry at him. After all, the old concubine is your biological mother. If the name of filial piety is suppressed, I don’t think the emperor is a character who is willing to accept anger. When the time comes, you will be caught in the middle, left and right Embarrassing..."

The matter of the An Guogong's mansion and Jin Wangfu's vying to buy the green swan, has been spread in a day and a night. The An Guogong's mansion is inexplicably charged with being a powerful minister, noble and arrogant, and even the emperor's biological mother has to stay away. Anguogong estimates He was so angry that he closed the door and said he was sick.As the prime minister of the cabinet, he shared the worries of the king, so he naturally asked Jing Zhaoyin to find out what was going on inside, and he knew in his heart that the emperor was venting his anger for the emperor's teacher, but it was too coincidental.

Xiao Yan sneered: "I have issued an edict to respectfully invite the Empress Dowager to return to Beijing."

Ji Tongzhen: "..."

Xiao Yan said indifferently: "Didn't you want to make a fuss about my biological mother? Let me find a 'mother queen' who is more righteous and brighter than them."

Ji Tongzhen thought for a while and found that it was really a clever move by God. Marquis Cheng En and Empress Dowager Sun fled when the soldiers approached the city. Naturally, they were wronged. Rely on the emperor and fully support the emperor.Princess Laojin wants to put on airs of the emperor's birth mother and use the principle of filial piety to suppress others, but she has to see whether the empress dowager, the empress dowager in terms of etiquette, agrees or not.

He sighed: "Your majesty is wise, since this is the case, this paper can be written first, but I heard that the emperor's teacher is not in good health, so let's rest and recuperate first, and don't go to court."

Xiao Yan said: "That's natural, how can I let him suffer a little bit of grievance."

Ji Tongzhen: "..." Suddenly, I felt a little envious of the Emperor Tongwei who had the ability to control ghosts and gods who had never met before. With so many important officials in the court, which one can get such reliance and favor from the emperor?

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Xiao Yan walked away, didn't eat lunch, and only cared about the Lich. When he returned to Jin'oufang, he saw that the Lich was still asleep, and his heart became more and more annoyed. A puff of breath was scattered in his chest, he didn't know where it was coming out, he could only sit on the edge of the bed and stare at the face of the lich in deep sleep.

Liches do struggle with nightmares of chaos.

He seemed to be standing in a cold castle, with black gauze and white flowers hanging everywhere to express sadness. People were busy in and out in black mourning clothes. A dark and cold coffin.

He stood there watching quietly, hearing people whispering.

"Who is that over there? It's such a terrifying coercion, it seems to be a dead creature."

"Hush...be quiet, that's a lich..."

"Lich? It's scary, it's too scary, how can there be dead spirits who dare to come? Isn't there an archbishop in the church?"

"That belonged to the Duchess of Merriman... Haven't you heard of that legend? The Duchess used her elf vitality as a sacrifice and cast the Black Forbidden Technique..."

"It's terrible. How could the Merriman family allow her to do this? Isn't this depraved?"

"Hehe, if it wasn't like this, how could they maintain the glory of the family? Look at today, the elf queen, the human king, the dwarf king, and the pope all sent envoys to express their condolences...with that lich, at least the Merriman family can still survive." Hundreds of years of glory..."

"It's scary, aren't they afraid of backlash? Lich is a dead spirit without emotion, and when the time comes, backlash will come and eat the consequences..."

"Look at it standing there, it has no emotion at all. It is no longer a living thing. It is an undead soul. How could the Duchess of Merriman be so whimsical? Isn't she afraid of such an undead?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of... that she died so early... when I heard that she died of depression. Some people said she regretted it."

"The Duke has passed away too? How can anyone in the Merriman family control it? Where is the soul box?"

"Who knows, since you dare to do it, there must be some way to restrict it. I heard that not all the Merriman family agrees, but the Duke and Duchess are determined to go their own way..."

……

"Scary, don't say it, let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

The lich opened his dry eyes wide, he had no heartbeat, he would not shed tears, he knew his mother had passed away, he held his hand and wept before she passed away, his mother died of heartbreak and depression, but he just watched indifferently she died.

He has long lost human feelings, he has ferocious bone hands, and he casts terrifying and treacherous necromancy spells. Wherever he appears, he will bring ominous and conflicts, and he will attract negative energy. All he has is an endless stream fear of:

"That's a lich, don't get close."

anger:

"How could someone invite a lich to a place where there are living people?"

hate:

"My people died to the lich, and I will fight the undead to the death."

alert:

"Undead creatures are not worthy of trust. We cannot fight with undead creatures, otherwise we must be on guard against their betrayal sooner or later."

disgust:

"Dirty, ugly undead creatures, they have no humanity, even the death of their biological parents will not be moved."

pain:

"How did Helios become like this? He is no longer the Son of the Sun he used to be, look at him! What a monster! He is already a necromantic creature! He can't feel what we feel - he is no longer The former Son of the Sun, the Son of Light of the Morning Star family, is just a dead, emotionless ghost, a walking corpse."

The Lich suddenly opened his golden eyes, with hot breath from his mouth, Xiao Yan was startled, lowered his head and touched his forehead and asked him: "Are you okay?" Then he saw the Lich's golden eyes His eyes were wet with tears, he was taken aback, quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for him, and said, "Jiu Yao? Sir? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling bad? Did you have a nightmare?"

The Lich seemed to be looking at the void, not gazing at anyone, still struggling in that painful dream—thousands of years had passed, and the belated pain seemed to pierce his heart after he regained his body .

He wanted to cry, he was in pain, he lost his mother, lost all his relatives, he was no longer human, he had no heart.

But he is in pain.

Xiao Yan wiped his sweat for him, and the wet blond hair was also full of sweat. He took a handkerchief twisted with ice water and covered his forehead. Lich eyes looked at him slowly, and the young man with black hair and black eyes was concerned. Staring at him intently, only he cared about him unabashedly in his heart, and admired him.

"What you said, when you see a loved one with joy, your heart beats violently, you almost suffocate when you are afraid, your heart breaks when you are sad, your head swells when you are angry-are these all just physical reactions?"

"It's the body's response to joy, fear, sadness, and anger, and the body's response is the result. How can you think you've lost joy, fear, sadness, and anger because you don't have a body to express the result? "

The black-eyed boy confessed to him full of admiration, and boldly asked him for the rest of his life: "Isn't I cute? Don't you love me at all in your heart?"

The lich stretched out his hand, Xiao Yan didn't understand what he meant, he stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, suddenly felt cold, looked down, and saw that the long slender finger and palm of the young man in his hand had suddenly turned into a bone withered claw , he was startled, but instead he clasped both hands upside down, clasped the lich's bony hand tightly with five fingers, and asked very worriedly: "Can't you control your mana?"

He brought the icy bone hand to his chest, as if he wanted to use his heart to warm the white bones. The lich stretched out his bone claws, pressed Xiao Yan's heart, and felt the heart of the young man under the thin clothes beating. , jumping extremely powerfully and full of vitality.

Although Xiao Yan was puzzled, he still put his hand on the back of the bone claw, and looked down at his face: "Are you awake now? Let me make you another spiritual potion and feed you to drink it?" He said Don't dare to drug the lich indiscriminately.

The lich murmured: "Why are you not afraid? I can pierce your chest and take your heart at any time." How dare a weak mortal like you so boldly ask the lich for love?I have no love, I am a dead person, I have been stripped of my soul, and since then I have been burdened with the wishes of the living, but they will never be able to fulfill their wishes, because they still ask for love from themselves.

They forced him to stay, deprived him of the right to sleep, and then demanded love from the dead, of course not, they would never get a response, and could only die in disappointment and pain.

Only myself was left here for a long time, wandering sleeplessly.

Anyway, I can't feel the pain.

Xiao Yan just thought he was talking nonsense, and didn't care: "If this can make my husband better, I will give that heart to him." He held the bone claw, watching him slowly loosen the quilt , He closed his eyes again, panting slightly, his face was flushed with heat.Thinking that he was still in high fever and confusion, delirious, full of concern and affection and had nothing to express, so he took the bone claw and pressed a kiss lightly on the cold back of the bone hand.

The Lich only felt the tenderness of the young man's warm lips. The feeling of pity, admiration, and passionate love wrapped his soul box, making him unavoidable. The young emperor said softly: "Get well soon, my lord!" I really wish I could replace myself."

The author has something to say:

"Therefore, it is said: those who govern by gods, the people do not know their merits." ——Quoted from "Gongshu" written by Mozi and his disciples in the pre-Qin period
