There was a strong murderous aura in the emperor's chest, and the unspeakable but unconcealable aura of destruction filled his heart, mixed with a trace of fear about his own life experience - a fear that no one knew, and hatred for the Queen Mother.
.
She hates herself for not being her biological heir.
A variety of emotions were mixed together, turning into a mass of unspeakable humiliation and panic.
No one knew that the emperor, who sat on the throne and held the power of life and death in the world, would sometimes feel uneasy.
He is uneasy, afraid that his identity will be exposed, afraid that the identity he currently possesses will be taken away, and afraid that his impure blood will be opposed by his subjects.
The queen's death was to cut off the hope of the queen mother, so that she could only rely on him wholeheartedly to secure her position as queen mother.
However, he became increasingly dissatisfied over the years. When he thought that he was still alive after knowing the truth about the raccoon cat's exchange for the prince, he could not restrain himself from feeling cold and murderous. He wished that the Queen Mother and the Feng family were all dead.
However……
"Father." Yun Zirou saw that his expression was getting darker and darker, and her uneasiness increased, so she spoke cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"
The emperor suddenly came to his senses, quickly covered up all the abnormal emotions in his eyes, picked up the tea cup as if to conceal it, and said lightly: "It's okay."
Yun Zi said softly, not knowing what to say.
In fact, she originally had a lot to say, and wanted to take the opportunity to file a complaint and fully accuse Yun Zishu of what she had done these days, but her father's expression made her afraid to speak.
At that moment, the murderous aura spreading in the air was so strong that no one could ignore it.
"I still have a lot of things to approve, so I won't accompany you to dinner." The emperor stood up and could not stay any longer. He walked quickly outside the palace and coldly ordered, "Send the message to Sicang."
"yes."
The chamberlain sent someone to deliver the message, and the emperor arrived at the imperial study room. After a while, Sicang followed him to the imperial study room.
"Sicang." The emperor sat on the dragon chair behind the case, his eyes fell heavily on his stern face, "Do you know why I am looking for you?"
"I don't know." Sicang said calmly, "But I have something to do with my humble position, and I just want to report it to the emperor."
The emperor frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Starting tonight, I will become the personal shadow guard of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."
What?
The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Absurd!"
Sicang looked at him calmly: "This is not ridiculous. What you do in humble position does not violate the rules of the Shadow Pavilion."
The emperor flatly refused: "I will not allow it."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes and said, "I have decided to humble myself. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I don't allow it, don't you understand?" The emperor slapped the case and stood up, looking furious, "Sicang, you dare to disobey my will?"
Si Cang looked cold and unmoved.
The emperor's face turned livid with anger, "If you dare to resist the decree, I will kill you!"
"If the emperor wants to get rid of his humble position, he can do it at any time." Sicang said indifferently, "The emperor will choose any crime."
The emperor was shaking with anger and pointed at him: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"The only thing I want to do is to keep the Ninth Princess safe." Sicang raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of threat in his eyes, "As long as the emperor agrees to the request of Beizi and guarantees that he will not harm the Ninth Princess at any time, Beizi will
I can promise to keep the emperor’s secret for the rest of his life.”
The emperor suddenly fell silent and stared at him with a gloomy look. The color in his eyes was dark and unclear. After a long time, he slowly sat down and said in a cold tone: "A lifelong secret?"
"yes."
"How can I trust your guarantee?"
"The position is humble and the status is low, but if you promise a thousand dollars, you will definitely do what you say."
The emperor was silent for a long time, wondering if he was considering his conditions.
It is true that Sicang's status is low, but his martial arts are too strong. It will not be easy for the emperor to kill him, unless he calls all the imperial guards over and fights to the death - but the emperor does not have the confidence.
Because Sicang holds his deadly secret.
The emperor wanted to kill him, so he could only get rid of him quietly without alerting anyone - but this was very difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky.
So for the time being, he can only compromise.
There was a cup of tea at hand. The emperor took it and took a sip, then slowly said: "In that case, I have one more request."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Kill Uncle Feng Guo for me."
Sicang's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he narrowed his eyes slightly at this time. The emperor could not see the change in his eyes: "Can it be done?"
Of course it can be done, it just depends on whether Sicang will agree to him.
Sicang's voice was indifferent: "Even if you kill Uncle Feng Guo, the rest of the Feng family may not know the secret."
The emperor didn't want to hear him mention the secret again and said coldly: "This is my business, just obey my orders."
Sicang didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about it.
The emperor did not rush and sipped the tea slowly.
The imperial study room fell into silence. After an unknown period of time, Sicang finally said: "I can promise the emperor my humble position, but not now."
The emperor stared at him: "When?"
"I want to see the emperor's sincerity." Sicang didn't mind negotiating terms with the king of a country. "If the emperor doesn't embarrass the ninth princess within three months, I will take Uncle Feng Guo's head."
The emperor said coldly: "Sicang."
"The humble duty is here."
"What went wrong in the training at Shadow Pavilion?"
Everyone in the Shadow Pavilion, from the commander to the shadow guards, must respect the emperor's will and cannot violate it at any time.
Even death requires the emperor's permission.
However, I don't know since when, Sicang's reverse bone shocked the emperor and even puzzled him, and he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
What exactly went wrong?
While Sicang was silent, scenes from his youth could not help but reappear in his mind.
The training method of the Shadow Pavilion was correct, but the mistake was that his fate had gone awry. His heart, which was supposed to be ruthless and cruel, became more caring because of the warmth that shone into his heart.
Before meeting her, all the injuries, bloodshed, suffering and hardships were just to complete the training tasks. Day after day, with no hope, the boring and bloody fighting was repeated, stepping on the corpses of countless teenagers and rushing out.
Even if you are scarred, even if you are on the verge of death.
After meeting her, the boring and cruel training gained a new goal. Only by living, living intact can I see her, and only when I see her can I feel that there is a little hope in life.
The seven emotions and six desires have not been completely wiped out, but they are regained because of her.
It's just that he disguised himself too well and didn't let anyone discover it before taking charge of the Shadow Pavilion - except her.
The Shadow Guard's seven emotions and six desires are immortal, which is a failed training. According to the rules, he should not be alive anymore, because the Shadow Guard with emotions will face the risk of being tempted and bribed at any time, which means that he will rebel against his master and kill him at any time.
It turns out this is right.
Because Sicang is the most typical example of Shadow Guard's rebellion.
His loyalty no longer belonged to the emperor long ago, but was completely handed over to the little princess named Zishu.
But there is no need to tell the emperor these things.
It would be better to let him think that he had unreasonable thoughts about the Ninth Princess.
"I do have some unreasonable thoughts about the Ninth Princess." He said calmly, with no emotion. "It's just that I have a humble status and don't dare to think about unrealistic status. I only want to protect His Highness's life to be safe and smooth."
, that’s enough.”
After saying that, he nodded slightly: "I'm resigning from my humble position."
