The war has been going on for more than a few months. The war situation is becoming more and more tense. Whether it is a poor family living in Toad Ling or a rich family living in Wuling, they all close their doors tightly during the day to avoid disaster. The once prosperous and unparalleled
The capital city of Chang'an has become a lonely and empty city.
At dusk in the Daming Palace, the lanterns started to turn on. The brown-haired boy leaned against the window carved with hibiscus and released a black-feathered homing pigeon.
In the golden cage next to him, there are more than a dozen homing pigeons. These homing pigeons are very special, with black fur, red beaks and red eyes. They don't seem to be an ordinary breed.
Seeing the black-feathered dove flapping its wings and flying into the evening sky, turning into an almost invisible dot in the fiery clouds, he sighed softly, frowned, and there was a bit more expectation in his eyes.
He turned around and went to see the queen of Chang'an, his mother, Shangguan Chiying.
....
"Mother, are you looking for me?"
In the evening, the officials in Hanyuan Palace dispersed, and there was no one else around. Only at this time could he call Shangguan Chiying "mother."
"Yes." Shangguan Chiying responded calmly.
"Has the war in Yuncheng been arranged?" Shangguan Chiying asked.
"Yes, mother. I have the demon Qiongqi as my general. This battle is absolutely foolproof." He said. But there was another thought in his mind. Foolproof? Not necessarily. If the pigeon can send the battle report to that person, maybe
There will be some changes in this battle. But he will never tell his mother about this.
After listening to Yan Honglei's words, Shangguan Chiying's face, which had been devoid of joy and sorrow for many years, finally showed some approval.
"In the past few months, our demon army has been almost invincible. It seems that our plan is indeed correct. Fortunately, we struck first and got the Five-Colored Edict, so the battle will go so smoothly. Otherwise, all this would have been so smooth.
It’s really unpredictable. Of course, all this is thanks to your planning.”
Shangguan Chiying praised without hesitation.
A wry smile flashed across the corners of Yan Honglei's lips. What could he say? Use Huafan to get the five-color imperial edict. Shangguan Chiying was the leader of this conspiracy, and he was the one who planned and executed it. They had been planning this for nearly ten years!
Now that he is seeing the heaven and earth that he once covered inch by inch being put away inch by inch, and everything is going as he wished, what can he have to worry about? What are the inexplicable regrets in his heart?!
"Mother, do you still remember what you promised me?" After a long time, Yan Honglei asked, "It's what you promised after the war."
The hint of approval on Shangguan Chiying's face suddenly froze, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, seeming a little angry.
"I am free to arrange matters after the war." She said coldly.
Yan Honglei felt cold in her heart. Sure enough, Shangguan Chiying began to regret it. When the war came to an end, her mother also began to learn how to hide the good bow when the birds are gone. Her mother also began to behave like all the cold-blooded emperors throughout the ages. Her promise
She won't become a millionaire just because she is his biological mother.
"Mother!" Yan Honglei's voice was very firm, "You promised that when you take over the world, you will let all the demons get rid of their anonymity and allow the demons to exist openly in this world.
Up."
"Well..." Shangguan Chiying began to show a slight impatience. She didn't think that Yan Honglei's participation in her war for her was something that needed to be exchanged of equal value. Her voice changed.
received a severe rebuke.
"What are you talking about! Don't you need any other reason to fight for me?" Her voice was not loud, but her tone did not allow for any resistance.
"Of course there is no reason." Yan Honglei's eyes were a little sad, "I am your son, this is the whole reason. But honestly speaking, mother, have you ever really regarded me as your son? I myself
I followed my father as a child. If he hadn't died, Han Mu and I..."
"Don't mention that person!" Shangguan Chiying's slight anger turned into complete rage because of Yan Honglei's words. The elegant and noble queen's eyes almost turned red uncontrollably, and her fingers were trembling slightly. "I have
I never told you not to mention that person in front of me!" She scolded like smoke red tears.
Seeing her like this, Yan Honglei had no choice but to swallow back her unfinished words, but his eyes clearly still showed his unwillingness.
"I have never mentioned my father, but I have never forgotten him for a moment." Yan Hongtear said in a deep voice, trying to keep her voice as low as possible.
"Mother, I know you don't want to forgive my father. But, have you ever thought that giving justice to the demons is also his last wish. No matter what, the dead are the most important. You are not allowed to mention him. You destroyed his existence.
But I will inherit his wishes and repay his grievances one day. At that time, you can't stop him unless you kill me."
His blue eyes were full of determination and anger. This was the first time he had defied Shangguan Chiying. He would never defy her. Even if he defied his own heart, he would not betray his mother. But for that person,
He confronts his mother for the first time.
"My father is not guilty..." he still tried to explain.
"His crime is unforgivable and he should be cut into pieces and never be reborn again!" Shangguan Chiying was like a snake wounded seven inches. Every word Yan Honglei said hit her hard.
On the wound that had not healed for a long time, I cut the bloody scab that had finally formed and dug out the injured flesh. The whole heart became dripping with blood and it was so painful!
Yan Honglei raised his head, his eyes full of reluctance, but his reluctance was eventually extinguished bit by bit by his mother's painful anger.
"Mother, I'll take my leave first." He sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the gloomy Hanyuan Hall step by step.
"Come back!" Shangguan Chiying also returned to calmness. She always addressed her biological son as "you", calling him here and there, as if he was not her own flesh and blood, but just a coin at hand, very useful.
chess pieces.
"Why are you always disobeying me recently?" A trace of cold suspicion flashed in her eyes.
"I didn't." Yan Honglei answered mechanically.
"There is no best, but if there is, if you dare to have second thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless. When the time comes, justice will destroy the relationship." She said tentatively, she wanted to ensure that every chess piece was in her own hands.
There is no trace of relaxation or detachment in the control.
Yanhong burst into tears without saying a word. After a long while, she said coldly: "Don't worry, I don't dare to have any second thoughts. Mother... No, Your Majesty, I will always be loyal to you, all the way to hell." He said without any trace of emotion on his face.
What expression, but a touch of coldness flashed across his eyes.
.....
It was obviously midsummer, but the night in the Daming Palace was chilling to the bone. Yan Honglei followed the original plan and took the Five-Colored Edict from Hua Fan for her mother.
Although he would never admit that he was feeling guilty for Hua Fan, but now that he thought about it, they did have too much in common. They were both demons, and they shouldered a heavy mission for their family and relatives. For one
People betray and fight. They can’t help themselves, but they stupidly want to change something? What can they change? The whole world is fought for by you and me. They are not tolerated in the world, and their lives are as cheap as ants.
What can be changed?
His blue eyes looked into the night sky, looking forward to the echo of the dove.
