In fact, ever since it was suddenly spread among the people that the "Proud Fairy" grew up in front of the grave of Ximen's ancestor, and then Ximen Yourong was beautified, the Night King thought of You Kou Yi!
Some time ago, he noticed that someone wanted to investigate the "Fallen Gate" in depth. When he turned around and found out that the person who originally wanted to investigate the "Fruit Gate" was actually someone from the imperial palace, he immediately understood that the shadow person lurking in the White House had been exposed!
So, he asked his most powerful shadow caster, Kongwu, to pretend to be deceived and captured, and then revealed, both true and false, that someone had rented a shadow caster from the "Yuanmen" to enter the palace for someone else's use!
This is the reason why those in Dongling Yuanyong have so far thought that You Kouyi just spent money to rent the "Yuanmen" shadow caster.
Regarding the "Proud Fairy", the Night King did not believe that it grew naturally in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave from the beginning, so he went to see the "Proud Fairy" in person.
At first, he really couldn't tell that the "Ao Fairy" was planted by humans. Until he discovered that the fine grass covering the "Ao Fairy" was very different from the flowers and plants in the entire Ximen Mausoleum, and there was no more or less area.
, just wide enough to accommodate an adult man squatting in it.
It turns out that a hole was dug out in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave, and then a large piece of mud mound with "Proud Fairy" and soil and grass growing on it was moved and filled in the hole to connect with the surrounding weeds and flowers.
This is why ordinary people cannot easily see the difference!
However, "Proud Fairy" itself is not an easy-to-survive holy grass. Although it has been transplanted intact, it will never survive that long relying on the original soil nutrients.
The Night King knew that "Fairy Ao" suddenly appeared and beautified Ximen Yourong, and the hermit in the palace was exposed, so it must be related to You Kouyi.
Therefore, he wanted to find out what was going on, because he hoped to help You Kouyi avoid unnecessary risks!
He guessed that someone must have used a special method to allow Fairy Ao to survive for a long time.
In order to find out what was going on, the Night King hid in a quiet place and waited for the answer to be revealed.
After he stayed in seclusion for two days and two nights, he finally understood what "Ao Fairy" relied on to maintain its vitality.
It turns out that the reason why "Ao Fairy" can live so well is because someone nourishes her with blood every two days, so "Ao Fairy" can live well.
The man who showed up late at night and scratched his arm and dripped blood to feed the "Ao Fairy" was none other than Dongling Yuanyong.
"Ao Fairy" is a sacred herb, not a bloodthirsty evil thing. But since Dongling Yuanyong appeared in person to raise "Ao Fairy" with his own blood, it proves that his blood is special. Otherwise, with his dignity as the king of a country,
, there is no need for him to go to the middle of the night to feed the "Proud Fairy" with his own blood.
However, until now, the Night King does not know what is special about Dongling Yuanyong's blood.
But this can be ignored for the time being. What is important is that it is enough to prove that Dongling Yuanyong's intentions for Ximen Yourong have gone beyond ordinary emotions.
After You Kouyi understood the cause and effect, she sneered:
"It seems that His Majesty is really affectionate towards Ximen Yourong!"
"Why, are you jealous?"
"I am also His Majesty's woman, aren't I?"
"Ha!" The Night King sneered, "I really hope that one day you can truly feel the pain of love, so that you will know how pathetic you are now!"
"You don't have to mock me, I know what I want!"
"I thought you knew it, but now, I suddenly don't think so anymore..." The Night King said with an ambiguous and indifferent smile:
"Kuoyi, you love me, but you don't need my company. You are jealous of Ximen Yourong, not because you love Dongling Yuanyong, you are just jealous that Ximen Yourong can dominate Dongling Yuanyong under the honor and favor of Dongling Yuanyong.
above you."
The Night King's words hit the nail on the head, but he still had reservations. The part he reserved was the truth that he neither dared nor wanted to face: You Kouyi might not have truly loved him at all!
"That's right, I don't love Dongling Yuanyong, I just love the position next to him."
You Kouyi always has the most real side in front of the Night King, at least she never hides her ambition for power in front of him.
The Night King is also the only one who can see some of her true side. In the past, he would be moved by her unabashed "truth" because it was proof that she trusted him.
But now, her "truth" suddenly made him want to run away. Only now did he realize that it was so heavy to bear her true face!
Perhaps because he was tired, the Night King put on his mask again to cover up all his sorrow. He finally said to You Kouyi:
"Kouyi, if you can, I hope you will fight for it with your heart before getting what you want in the future, and don't blindly choose unscrupulous methods. In that way, what you get will belong to you forever, otherwise, even if you
Whatever you gain, you will lose sooner or later!"
Youkoyi was a little surprised by what the Night King said, because he had never given her similar advice.
In the past, even if he clearly disagreed with her decision, he would not say much, let alone advise her on what to do.
But today, she felt a little strange to her. But because the deep love for her in his eyes had not changed, she did not appreciate the unusual meaning in his words.
The Night King's almost emotional advice also made her feel unrealistic, and she sneered a little coldly:
"Ye, do you know when was the first time I got what I wanted on my own?"
The Night King looked at You Kouyi speechlessly. She was only fifteen when he met her. In the blink of an eye, this was already the fifth year of their acquaintance.
He forgot how he fell in love with her. He only knew that when he fell in love with her, he was already accustomed to tolerate everything about her!
He knew her very well in the past five years, but she almost never mentioned her past. He only knew that as the first noble daughter of Dacheng, she was not as doted on since birth as outsiders thought. She was also a
A humble existence.
Youkoyi knew that the Night King's silence was actually waiting for her to continue speaking. Her memory returned to a long time ago, and then said:
"Actually, I am not the only eldest daughter of You family, nor am I my father's favorite daughter. What he favors most is the daughter born to his first legitimate wife, who is my eldest sister. Because my father loves his eldest sister deeply.
She is my mother, so the eldest sister has all the father's love. She is obviously three years older than me, but as long as I can remember, my father's arms have always belonged to the eldest sister. As a concubine, I didn't dare to fight against it.
I didn't dare to grab... My mother always said that if I wanted to get my father's attention, I had to be a good boy, so I was good and always good... However, I found that being a good boy would not get my father's attention at all.
On the contrary, when other siblings are noisy and noisy, it is easier for my father to take a second look."
"So, one day, I didn't want to be good. I ran to my father and made a fuss, asking him to hug me. When I almost got my wish, the eldest sister came, and she didn't allow my father to hug me.
He pushed me down in front of my father. When I fell, I knocked over the charcoal stove... Obviously I was injured more seriously, but the eldest sister, who was just hit by a spark, immediately went into her father's arms and enjoyed his father's warmth.
It was pity, but I was scolded by my father as a troublesome child because I burned a piece of my skin!"
When You Kouyi said this, two traces of tears appeared on her face at some point, but she wiped the traces of tears indifferently, as if what she was wiping away was not the tears, but the sad past.
This was the first time the Night King heard her mention her unbearable memories. He knew that her situation as a child was not as good as it is now, but what exactly did she go through that made her so persistent in her desire for power?
You Kouyi opened her sleeves and looked at a light scar on her right arm. She smiled coldly and said:
"This burn scar can actually be removed, but I keep it because it is the scar that brought me to where I am today."
"You are already glorious enough today, but you are still not satisfied. Why?"
"Satisfaction? The most difficult thing in the world to satisfy is human desire! Maybe from the time I learned how to take the initiative to get what I want, I no longer understand what "satisfaction" means!"
You Kouyi smiled coldly again. Her persistence that would not stop has always made the Night King worry about her. As long as she understands the meaning of "satisfaction", her life will be prosperous and prosperous.
However, if she continues to indulge in her desire for power, he is really worried that she will be destroyed sooner or later.
The Night King wanted to say something more to her, but You Kouyi suddenly continued:
"Didn't I ask you just now, when did I start to get what I want on my own?" She smiled: "Eight years old! I personally poisoned the pet that I grew up with and blamed it on my eldest sister. The result was
My eldest sister was severely punished by my father, and I gained my father's sympathy. Later, I made my father more and more disappointed in my eldest sister again and again, so I gradually replaced my eldest sister's position in my father's place, and even my father became more and more disappointed with me.
My cowardly mother also regained my father's favor because of me... and then..." After a slight pause, a strange and tight light radiated from You Kouyi's eyes: "The eldest sister died unexpectedly, so I became the eldest son.
Women have become my first and biggest goal in life...!"
Hearing this, the Night King said clearly:
"This goal is the beginning of our acquaintance, and the beginning of you becoming the eldest daughter of the You family, right?"
Five years ago, You Kouyi paid the Enemy Sect to find out the information she wanted. At that time, he was still the young master of the Enemy Sect and one of the Shadowmen.
He was responsible for You Kouyi's mission, and that's how they met.
If he guessed correctly, the information he helped You Kouyi find out gave her an absolute bargaining chip to make her father recognize her more, so she could later become the most noble daughter of Dacheng.
You Kouyi smiled, but there was no pride in her smile, only a sense of numbness!
Five years ago, after her eldest sister passed away, she wanted to take her place as the eldest daughter of the You family.
However, You's eldest daughter is gone, but his wife is still there. If she wants to be You's eldest daughter, her mother must be his wife.
In order for her mother to ascend to the throne, she had to think about how to get her father to divorce his first wife.
It happened that her father encountered a critical matter in government affairs at that time, a crisis that could wipe out the family if he was not careful.
Hence, later on, she came to find the "Yuan Men" to buy information.
She also helped her father get through the crisis with the help of the information she bought. Of course, that was also the beginning of her officially letting her father see that she could protect Youshi!
