"This……"

After Nie Zhen asked a series of questions, Ruying's face paled a little, and she made a weak voice to argue:

"The words of the imperial physicians may not be entirely credible. When they diagnosed and treated the imperial concubine, they almost misdiagnosed me. When they diagnosed my pulse for the first time today, the imperial physician Chen even mistakenly thought that I was weak due to palace cold, so they mistakenly thought that I was pregnant. Days are not impossible."

"Wrong? Ruying, don't you think I'm an idiot, and you really think that everything in the world is up to you?" Nie Zhen said softly, his eyebrows were handsome and gentle, and his side face was shaded by candlelight. She was obviously charming to the extreme, but for no reason, it made people feel a little creepy because of that smile.

The man lowered his eyes and said with a low smile: "There are not only twenty imperial doctors in the imperial hospital in this world. If the old doctor Li's words are not true, there will be other doctors who will diagnose your pulse. If twenty are not enough, please invite a hundred or a hundred." If you don’t have enough seats, keep doubling them. There is no shortage of manpower in the secret cabinet. If you are not sure, why don’t you invite a doctor to take a detailed pulse? , how about you take out this 'unfilial son' of unknown origin by caesarean section?"

A vicious and soft voice sounded close to his side, as if a cold snake letter with a strong poison was ready to take his life at any time, which made him shudder and couldn't help but twitch twice, and the courage to defend himself was barely supported in his heart It also fell apart.

Fear filled the atrium, Ruying broke down and covered his face and wept for a while, his thin shoulders kept trembling.

Only now did he realize that he was no match for a man when it came to a real confrontation, and he didn't have the courage to bet with Nie Zhen.

Taking the child by caesarean section with his own hands is tantamount to betting his own life. He knows well whether the child in his stomach is Nie Zhen's, so why should he bet?Once this gamble starts, he will undoubtedly die.If his life is gone, how can he have tomorrow?Where is the chance to pursue what you want?

Ruying was full of despair, and for a moment began to regret it.

At this point, Xingzhi probably doesn't trust him at all, and even doesn't want to care about him.

"How?" Nie Zhen asked calmly, "I think this is the best way. First, to prove your innocence, and second, to gather the power of all the imperial physicians to keep the baby in your womb safe."

Ruying trembled his hands, closed his eyes cruelly and shook his head, he said sadly: "No need... just do it, enough..."

"Why did you refuse?" Nie Zhen looked like a smile but not a smile, his long and narrow eyes were bottomless, "If you don't agree to let me confirm this matter, then you will admit the origin of the child to others, and we will help the father of the child." You look for it."

"This matter... Ruying can solve it by himself." Ruying unconsciously squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair, as if he couldn't meet the man's eyes, he just said with a little pleading tone: "It's fine if you don't recognize the child. Why do you continue to embarrass me?"

When Nie Zhen heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.He was originally standing by the table, but the next second he put away his smile, he appeared by the half-open door. His five fingers formed claws and grabbed out the window. dark people.

Suddenly, there was only a loud noise, and the captured person was thrown onto the cabinet in the room by a terrifying force the next moment, and the huge impact actually smashed the door of the cabinet into a deep hole.

Ruying covered his mouth and almost screamed, he watched with his eyes almost open, his lips opened and closed for a long time, and tears rolled down his face.

"Brother..." A weak voice sounded in the room.

Suddenly, there was a violent coughing sound from the dilapidated cabinet, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

The person who was restrained and thrown out by Nie Zhen just now was the leader of the dark guard who was supposed to be out on mission, Ying Wu.

Nie Zhen stood tall and tall, looking down at the person who was trying to climb out of the cabinet, and glanced at Ruying who seemed to have been pushed to the limit and seemed to faint at any time, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Why do you think this king is making things difficult for you? Isn't today's event the two of you brothers' joint plan? If the father knows that the plan has failed again, I am afraid that he will have to sleep and eat again."

Nie Zhen looked at Ying Wu with a shocked expression, and his eyes became colder and colder.

He was naturally aware of Ying Wuyi, but he never understood the reason why the other party betrayed him.These years, in order not to startle the snake, he has been ignorant. After all, the two of them are really nothing to him. His father relied on these two people to plot against him many times, but he failed even once. Now he is probably lost. Got patient.

Originally the two were by his side, as long as they were safe and willing to tell the whole story, he would naturally treat them as confidantes, but after many years, they also squandered the opportunities he gave them one by one.

Overwhelmed with water.

"My lord, my subordinate..." Ying Wu panicked and wanted to explain, but when he met Nie Zhen's cold gaze, he choked his unspoken excuse in his throat.

For some reason, at that moment, he felt that all his concealment was invisible to the other party.

Ruying was almost desperate.

He never expected that one day Nie Zhen would discover and expose their secret, and the man didn't realize it by accident. From what happened today, it was obvious that Xingzhi had already laid a net and was waiting for their brothers to fall into the net.

The man clearly saw that the door was pushed open by his elder brother who had used the tracking invisibility technique in order to spread the news that he was pregnant with Xingzhi's child, but he turned a blind eye to it, as if he had lost his vigilance.Originally there were many hidden guards in the courtyard, and they guarded here in the afternoon, but they all disappeared at night, making a space for them to be completely undisturbed, but it was also a space where the two brothers ended up here.

Xingzhi doesn't need any hidden guards at all, he can defeat a hundred by himself.

Ruying smiled wryly, and said softly, "Okay, you won. My brother and I are indeed not one ten thousandth as good as you."

Nie Zhen was indifferent, he looked at the ashen-faced Ying Wu, "Father put you next to this king, but because of a prophecy?"

Shadow struggled with no expression on his face, and subconsciously wanted to find a reason to evade it, but just as he had this thought, a very sharp force struck at him from a tricky angle, cutting off his right arm neatly and neatly in an instant.

Unstoppable screams came from his throat, blood gurgled from the severed arm, and Yingwu leaned on the ground with his head against the cold ground, feeling that life would be worse than death.

Nie Zhen smiled slightly, and his handsome face became more and more gentle, "Say, father put you next to this king, but because of a prophecy?"

Ruying was so frightened that he was about to faint. He desperately tried to push the wheelchair closer to Yingwu, but his hands were shaking without any strength. In the end, he bent down in the wheelchair with his head on his hands, and admitted incoherently: "Yes. The Supreme Emperor sent us there, and our two brothers were trained as undercover agents since childhood... in order to be able to control Prince Rui's movements at any time and prevent you from taking the throne... Please do it... don't hurt brother ..."

"Sure enough." Nie Zhen said indifferently, "Then the matter in the barracks was also arranged by the emperor?"

"Exactly..." Ruying replied with a choked voice: "The Emperor Taishang wanted to fulfill Xingzhi and me...but he never expected that Xingzhi didn't touch me at all... He really had no choice but to order me and my elder brother to spread the rumor, and then Brought back to the capital... But this time, Ruying just went her own way! Brother had no choice but to help me spread rumors... The Supreme Emperor didn't know about it... Don't embarrass brother anymore, it's all because of my shamelessness... "

"Ruying! Don't talk anymore!" Ying Wu roared, he was so painful that he almost fainted, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Ruying was just being used by his subordinates, he was not actually pregnant, it was just... after drinking, I never came back. The medicine brought back by the ear. The medicine can mess up people's pulse. It was originally a prescription accidentally discovered by the Huier woman in order to avoid the fate of being tied up and sinking in the lake because of infertility. Few people know about it. The pregnancy reaction to the pregnancy in October is no different from that of ordinary women, but they will have a miscarriage on the day of delivery, and they will recover as before. Ruying will think that the child belongs to the prince and it is also misleading by his subordinates..."

"It actually coincides with what I expected..." Nie Zhen slowly tightened his hand hanging by his side, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well. "Ying Wu, do you remember what the old pavilion master said when he handed over the position of the leader of the hidden guard to you?"

"...Your subordinates remember." Ying Wu's face was pale, he struggled to kneel up and tried to kowtow, but he fell down again in the next second, he hit his head on the ground and smiled bitterly: "The pavilion master said, it's not mine. Unacceptable, don't covet the things in the lord's pocket! It's a pity that good fortune tricks people! Ying Wu still fell in love with the person in Prince Rui's arms at first sight...I will never forget it...I think about it day and night..."

Before the words fell, Ying Wu's other hand that was still intact was cut off in Ru Ying's scream, and he almost jumped out of the wheelchair desperately, but it didn't help at all.Warm blood splashed on the young man's pale face, and for a moment it seemed like tears of blood.

"If the shadow guard hadn't revealed everything, I wouldn't have known that you have acted so condescendingly." Nie Zhen's clenched fists were crackling, but he still maintained his rationality, but the violent aura around him oppressed the two people on the ground. I can't even get up.

The man's voice was soft, but the words he said entered the minds of the two people on the ground as deeply as Ling/chi.

"Ruying was once young. When you indulged your delusions, did you remember that my king's Mao Mao was just a child who didn't understand anything?"

The kitten that he holds in his hands like jewels and treasures has become the fantasy object of others to satisfy their metamorphosis/desire/desire.

If it wasn't for Nie Zhen's sane mind, Ying Wu would have died on the spot.

"My lord," Ying Wu said suddenly, his face was almost ashen at this moment, the massive loss of blood and the pain in his hands that could drive people crazy drove him to a desperate situation, but he asked Nie Zhen madly, "Everyone Everyone has the right to pursue beauty, so why not Yingwu? Such a person is... the prince is reluctant to let go... cough cough... let alone me... the prince only knows that he loves the little prince, but he does not allow Ruying to do the same because of It would be too much to pursue the prince in love..."

Nie Zhen curled her lips when she heard the words, but she didn't smile.

"Pain because of admiration, and what you think is blasphemy because of your covetousness, how can it be the same? This king doesn't know that it is justified for Ruying to try to seduce/lead this king to do forbidden/taboo things repeatedly with all his means. Follow the path."

His few words without ups and downs were full of sarcasm, which was so irritating that he was ashamed and ashamed. His face, which had turned pale because of shock, was flushed with shame and anger.

"Stop talking... Xingzhi please stop talking..." Ruying burst into tears.

He thought he had given everything for love, but he forgot that it was not Mr. Pian Pianjia he had offended, but the god of war who had been hardened in the bloody battlefield for many years. , Taking care of him many times, it's just "brotherhood", his wishful thinking.But...he had exhausted the last giri without realizing it.

He treats him as a brother and gives him opportunities again and again, but he pushes people further and further away.It really is self-inflicted.

"Punish me, do it..." Ruying closed his eyes and said, "I have to blame myself for everything."

However, Nie Zhen just looked at him with downcast eyes for a while without emotion, then moved his eyes indifferently.

Everyone in the dark pavilion knew that Prince Rui had never personally hurt anyone since his class teacher returned to court. It wasn't because he became so kind, but because he didn't want to get his hands dirty anymore.

Once, Nie Zhen pinched the neck of an enemy traitor with his own hands, and happened to be seen by Xiao Luomo who trespassed in the study. The cat was so frightened that he didn't sleep well for several days and fell ill for two days. Do it again.

Yingwu laughed silently.

How could he not know?How could he not know?

Today Prince Rui caught a turtle in his urn, if it wasn't for the four shadows and seven pleadings, he and Ruying would have died a long time ago, it's just that the poor shadow guards treated him like a brother, but he has betrayed the entire Heng'an Garden.

As early as when Ying Qi and Ying Si came to him to persuade him, he should have found his way back.After all, it is too late.

Ruying's cries sounded in the silent room, Ying Wuji passed out completely, life and death were uncertain.

Nie Zhen raised his hand slowly, and several black figures suddenly appeared on the beams of the room, kneeling down neatly on the ground.

"Send the person to the Punishment Department. The rules of the secret cabinet don't need to be explained by the king."

"Yes." Yingyi's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at the collapsed Ruying, and asked again: "Does the lord want his subordinates to send Ruying over as well? After taking the medicine, these few months should be as real as if she were pregnant." , Sending it directly may kill people.”

"No need." Nie Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Ying Ba has found the person who took his body back then, so let's send it to the house over there. Since he is 'pregnant', why not get married at this time?" hour?"

"This... my lord! But we don't know what kind of character that person is, so he went directly to the hall like this..." Ying Liu asked in surprise.

"Isn't this Ruying's own choice? Yingba found the son of King Solo Guochen." Nie Zhen smiled, "He longed to get married and become a princess, and he did not hesitate to expose the secret of his body and spread the news of pregnancy. At this time Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to settle down?”

Hermaphroditism is not a scandal, but getting pregnant before marriage... If you don't marry, put him in Daqing, no one can tolerate him.What's more, now that the truth is out, Nie Zhen is absolutely impossible to tolerate the existence of rumors even for Xiao Luomo.Once the rumors started to be refuted, Ruying's fate would be blamed by thousands of people.

Ying Si was more calm in this regard. As soon as Nie Zhen said that, he figured out the key points, bowed his body and kowtowed, and then straightened up and said: "Thank you, my lord, for leaving Ruying the last way."

Although this path is also cast aside by others, Ruying is doomed to suffer a lot in the future and will not be able to find happiness, but it is better than both brothers and sisters being ruined.I'm afraid this is Nie Zhen's last concession.

"Thank you, my lord..." I didn't kill them all.

The shadow guards kowtowed in unison.They still left a brother, so they wouldn't die.

Humans are emotional animals, even if they rationally support Nie Zhen and swear allegiance to King Rui to the death, the shadow guards have no objection to Nie Zhen's decision, but they still look forward to that last bit of hope, just like heinous criminals who are destined to be executed, No matter how hopeless they are, their relatives still love them without any reason.

Nie Zhen missed them, and left Ruying and Yingwu alive, that's enough.

The shadow guards left with Ruying and Yingwu, and when they went out, they saw Ying Er holding the cat without any surprise.Because Ying Wu's wound looked too bloody, Ying Er stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Luo Mo's eyes.After everyone had gone away, Ying Er entered the room, put the kitten that had been dazed from the beginning on the ground, exited and closed the door.

***

The room was silent.

With his back to the door, Nie Zhen's tall black figure was as tall and straight as a pine.His long and narrow eyes were slightly closed, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and the hurtful smile just now had long since disappeared, leaving only the familiar coldness.

The soul of the night almost never hurts others with his hands. He is good at strategizing and strategizing. Although he has deep internal strength, he has no intention of using force.No matter how rebellious and violent he is in the daytime, there are no taboos, but at night he always adheres to principles and will not make a move.Today is an exception.

There was a faint sound from the table behind him.

Nie Zhen opened his eyes, and finally slowly let go of his tightly clenched hands, his palms tingling.

In the past few days, Mao Mao has felt a little wronged, and he is not ignorant of it.The spirit in the daytime can't understand his actions, and has repeatedly fought for the control of his body. In addition, he has a lot of guilt, so the time to come out is much less.

It was a decision they had reached a consensus on tonight's matter to be resolved by him.Because he had to give Mao Mao an explanation.

It's just that, as the time of their appearance became more and more chaotic and uneven, each other made more exceptions for the kitten, and the speed of reaching a consensus became faster and faster. They seemed to... Gradually possess the uniqueness of each other. idiosyncratic.

***

After Xiao Luomo was put down, he was still in a daze, neither moving nor screaming.Although it didn't witness it with its own eyes, it knew everything Nie Zhen said and did from beginning to end.

This is not what it expected.

At that time, threatening Ying Er to bring it over, it was ready for its self-willedness to hit a wall. Although it believed in Nie Zhen enough, the last trace of uncertainty in its heart still affected its cognition.

Nie Zhen likes it very much, but how much?Is everything about it inclusive and acceptable?Before that, Nie Zhen had emphasized it many times, but it was still not at ease.

However, just when it made up its mind to try to fight for it, the opponent suddenly cleared all the obstacles for it, opened up and paved the road, swept away all the small stones that would hurt feet, and replaced them with round and beautiful cobblestones. Then stand at the end of the road with your back to it.

It seemed that all of a sudden, all the problems that made it panic no longer existed, and Nie Zhen's resolute style of action really shocked it.

The kitten lowered its head and licked the fur on its legs, then switched sides after licking.

When it finished licking Mao Mao, Nie Zhen was still standing.

Miaomiao Nie Zhen was so angry with those two that she stood there for a long time without looking back.

Xiao Luomo was thinking about whether he should sneak away or call for someone.

If it speaks, it will appear that it can't wait. Although the system always advises it not to retreat, it is entirely because the system has no emotional experience and can only talk on paper.If you really put it on your body, you will know how embarrassing it is.And every time it took the initiative to act like a baby, it was a loss.

If it slips away, Nie Zhen will definitely be angry, because he has paved the "road" and just waited for it to pass by. If it doesn't go, it is tantamount to rejection in disguise.

The little Luo Mo Yuan Mao Tong stared at the man's back for a while, then walked to the edge of the chair, and pushed his small head against the leg of the chair.

After pushing, he simply sat down and turned his back to the man.

In the next second, a pair of big hands with well-defined bones carefully picked up the sitting cat.

The man's originally soft voice became deep and hoarse for some reason, and it slowly sounded on the kitten's head.

"Maomao saw it?"

Xiao Luomo turned around awkwardly, sat down in the man's palm, and nodded slightly. "I heard it all. Nie Zhen cleaned up the bad guys."

"Are cats afraid?" Nie Zhen's tone was not as calm as usual.

"Scared." Xiao Luomo stretched out his tail and nodded Nie Zhen's finger, "But I know what Nie Zhen is going to do, so I'm not afraid."

"Cat." Nie Zhen suddenly changed his title, and said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, the king will not marry the princess, and will only guard you."

"But," Xiao Luomo said sadly, "I'm not even human."

"It's okay." Nie Zhen's eyebrows were gentle, "Cat can do whatever he wants, you will never change form for the rest of your life, and this king will guard you. But you have to remember, I can do anything for you, as long as you want, I agree. Is the cat going to be the princess?"

Xiao Luomo opened his eyes wide, and after a while he proudly said: "Our cat is not a concubine. But I know everything you want to tell me today."

"Know what?" Nie Zhen already had a premonition in his heart.

"Cats are the biggest in this palace. Nie Zhen will listen to me."
