many worries

Speaking of it, Xiao Shishi's birth was even worse than Jinfu's. He was an outcast who was brought up by old beggars in the Town God's Temple.It is not always true to say that it is pulling.Those old beggars are cunning, but they feed the child because he is cute and easy to ask for money. He is beaten three times a day, and sometimes he doesn't even stutter.If I followed my original life, I would probably be a little beggar in this life, and then I would become an old beggar and die here.

But when he was nine years old, the land of the Town God's Temple was favored by the emperor's relatives. The beggars were chased away several times, but they still sneaked back because they were homeless.That nobleman was impatient, and simply sent people to demolish the Temple of the City God in the middle of the night, crushing many people to death.This incident alarmed Emperor Yuande, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, and sent someone to inspect and severely punished the royal man, but no one cared about the life and death of these little eunuchs. After Chen Tanzhi heard about this, he sent someone to help those little beggars, because Xiao 14 was young and had good bones, so he was brought back to the Chen residence.

Xiao Shishi will never forget that day, Chen Tanzhisheng was noble and bright, dressed in red, took his hand, patted his head, and brought him into a completely different world from before.

After more than half a year, when it came time to choose the secret guards to enter the palace, this matter should only be sent by family slaves with confidence, but Xiao Shishi suddenly saw something wrong with his roommate and volunteered to go.

This matter reached the ears of Chen Tanzhi, she was already Empress Chen at that time, and she said to the family: "I still remember him, a small and thin child, when he brought him back, he kowtowed many times. It's really good that he has this heart, but this is not a joke, he died easily, you can ask him again."

Xiao Shishi went anyway, he had lived for so long, he didn't think about anything, he didn't have any other wishes, he just wanted to do things for Empress Chen.He thought to himself, if he could relieve that person's worries a little bit, even if he lost his life, it would be a great thing.

Probably because he was indeed more determined than others, he climbed very fast in the hidden guards, and when he finally saw Empress Chen again, Xiao Shishi had already grown up, tall and handsome, but he was hiding in a black suit all day long. Under the clothes.

When he was led in by Zhou Mingde, Empress Chen was pruning flowers and branches in front of the table. She wore a ponytail and a fresh camellia on her temples. She raised her eyes slightly, pursed her lips and waved to Xiao Shishi, "Go The first time I saw you was a child, and now you have grown up so much."

After a pause, he said again: "It's been so hard for you for so many years."

Xiao Shishi was almost fascinated.

After returning that day, Xiao Shishi had a dream all night. In the dream, it was Empress Chen's long nails dyed red, emeralds on her earlobes, and a phoenix with wings embroidered on her skirt.

He repeated the dream for a long time, because the number of times he met was too small, and the same dream was enough for a year.

Until Queen Chen hanged herself.

Emperor Yuande asked the hidden guards to investigate the condition of the corpse, but Xiao Shishi did not dare to go, he kept trembling and did not shed tears, thinking all night, what is Queen Chen to him?

Xiao Shishi thought, probably it was a god.He considers himself as humble as an ant, and it is only because she happened to see his pity that he has what he is now.

But Empress Chen died.

Later, he thought that his repayment was not enough, not enough, so he put all his thoughts on Jing Yan, and even did many dangerous things that he should not have done.

Xiao Shishi grew up watching Jing Yan.Jing Yan's appearance was Xiao's mother, and when he smiled, he was even more charming. Sometimes in the middle of the night, Xiao Shishi looked at him with the faint night light, thinking that Empress Chen was still in the world in a trance.

He knew he was dreaming.

Probably for this reason, Xiao Shishi paid more attention to Jing Yan.He hoped that Empress Chen's only child would be honorable and flawless, as if this would be the only way to deal with Empress Chen.

Everything is fine with Jing Yan, except for one thing, Qiao Yu.

Xiao Shishi knew that Jing Yan was sincere, but sincerity was even worse. There is no noble person in the world who is entangled with men. Jing Yan is her life, and she hopes to serve him wholeheartedly in the future.

He was determined to kill Qiao Yu, and he didn't care about his own life anymore.Xiao Shishi is not a fool either, he is not ignorant of the matter between Chen Sang and Jing Yan, but he can't kill Qiao Yu by himself, he has to ask outsiders to hold back Jing Yan's people, and then let him finish Qiao Yu himself Yu's fate would not allow such a big trouble to fall into the hands of others.

Until this day, it is the best opportunity.Xiao Shishi did not go to protect Jing Yan because he knew that there would be no mistakes in the other party's arrangements.

Xiao Shishi didn't take such a trash like Qiao Yu into his eyes at all, he drew his sword and rushed straight towards the house.

His footsteps were extremely fast, and he arrived in front of Qiao Yu in an instant, while the two groups of people outside were entangled. Chen Sang knew that he could not interfere with the palace change, so he simply cast everyone on it, worse than the guards of Xianlin Palace. More than that, Jinfu wanted to get away and go to the bedroom, but was cut on the back with a knife, so she had to turn around again.

Qiao Yu has always been far away from danger. The closest he was to death in his life was when he was eight years old. Defu pinned him on the dry well and used mulberry paper to stick him up.But that kind of death is also slow, not like it is now, it will kill him in an instant.

He glanced at the lights in panic, and could almost feel the sharp sword energy coming towards him. He instinctively raised his hand to protect his chest, but it was too late. The sword edge shone with a cold light, and Qiao Yu could see the sword in front of him. He didn't know this person's eyes, and he had never seen him before. He could only wonder why he wanted his own life?

If he died, he would never see Jing Yan again.

This was the last thought on Qiao Yu's mind.

Accompanied by a sharp meow, the sword missed its aim at the end and landed on Qiao Yu's arm. Xiao Shishi was scratched in the eye by the cat, but he shook his wrist in pain and stabbed straight towards it.

Although New Year's Eve is a lame cat, Qiao Yu has always pampered her, but because the Taiqing Palace is really poor, she often secretly ambushes, catching mice and birds to give herself extra meals, she can be regarded as a hero among cats, with sharp teeth and claws .

Xiao Shishi has practiced martial arts for many years, and he understands that even if he misses the heart, Qiao Yu will hardly survive.And with his strength, it was too easy.On Qiao Yu's wrist was wearing a Buddhist bead given by Jing Yan, which was the most precious and hard sandalwood in the world. After losing half of his strength, the sword edge moved forward again, and it touched the piece that Qiao Yu's grandmother gave him jade pendant.Xiao Shishi gritted his teeth, this time the strength was not enough to kill Qiao Yu.

The sword still pierced Qiao Yu's chest, but luckily it wasn't aimed at the heart. The blade was too sharp, and only half of Qiao Yu's small arm was cut with the remaining force of the sword.

Blood gushed out like a spring, instantly dyeing the ground red, mixed with fragments of jade pendants and blood-stained Buddha beads, but it glowed with a soft and icy light.

Qiao Yu was injured in two places, neither of which was fatal, but the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe. He was clutching the only remaining prayer bead tightly in his hand, and it took all his strength to hold back the tears and keep them from crying. Blur your vision.He didn't cover the wound, but held the dagger with his uninjured left hand and observed the man in front of him.

At this moment, the only one you can rely on is yourself.He has also been in such a desperate situation several times, and he broke through abruptly by relying on his own strength.

Qiao Yu knew that he couldn't be afraid, he couldn't be cowardly, and he couldn't retreat. He had to go forward to find a way out.

What's more, with a dagger in his hand and Jing Yan in his heart, he has nothing to fear.

Xiao Shishi is a person who is used to being injured. Although the eyes are the most vulnerable part of a person, he can bear the pain too much, but after shaking for a while, he drew his sword and stabbed at him.On New Year's Eve, he wanted to pounce on him again, but Xiao Shishi was already prepared and kicked the cat away.But he had hurt his eyes, his vision was not clear, and his attention was distracted on New Year's Eve. Qiao Yu, who was standing by, seized the opportunity and used all his strength to stab Xiao Shishi's left abdomen with a dagger. But the hand was also grabbed backwards, scratching the palm.

New Year's Eve rolled on the ground, holding on to his breath, and crawled to Qiao Yu's side again.

After all, Xiao Shishi was still a human being. He had just been seriously injured. He almost didn't even move the sword in his hand. He had no strength. After a flash, he took a final look at Xiao Shishi and disappeared completely into the darkness.Xiao Shishi couldn't hold back his anger, let out a low growl, stabilized his body, tore a piece of cloth at will to bind the wound, and tried to grope for a while, and finally went in.

The underground passage was built over many years, and it is connected to the groundwater. It is covered with moss, and there are rats scurrying back and forth.If it was normal, just looking at this kind of place would be enough for Qiao Yu to feel uncomfortable, but now he didn't care about it, and even pressed half of his body against the wall, trying his best to walk towards the route he remembered.His hands and arms were injured, and he couldn't hold New Year's Eve, so he wrapped it around his neck, and gently encouraged it, "Niannian, don't be afraid, go out right away, go out Just let Niannian see a doctor, Niannian, Niannian, don’t close your eyes, okay?"

His tears stained Xie Xi's ears. Xie Xi was very spiritual and seemed to understand what he said. He raised his head with difficulty, licked Qiao Yu's tears, and meowed, as if he really agreed.

Qiao Yu didn't dare to relax, he wanted to rush to the first fork as soon as possible, but suddenly there was a sound behind him, much faster than his own steps.

That was Xiao Shishi.

In fact, the method of entering the secret passage is not complicated, the difficulty is how to get out.Every once in a while there is a fork in the road, and the correct road has a secret order to open the mechanism. If you go the wrong way and step on too many organs, the entire secret road will be flooded by groundwater.

Qiao Yu was wearing a crescent-colored dress, which was completely stained with blood. There were his own and Xiao Shishi's on it, all stuck to his body, making his back extremely thin, almost broken.His complexion is very fair, and he is well maintained. He didn't have any wounds before, but now he has four or five scratches all over his body. Each of them can make Qiao Yu cry for three days, but he doesn't dare now. Crying, shed tears silently, unable to make a sound, for fear that Xiao Shishi, who was following behind, would notice the movement.

His footsteps were not as fast as Xiao Shishi's, so he could only rely on tricks to get rid of him.Fortunately, Qiao Yu was usually clumsy, but her mind was still good, and she could remember even complicated secret orders clearly, and the journey was smooth.But Xiao Shishi had no luck. He was stopped behind, but Qiao Yu didn't dare to stop. He was afraid that the man would destroy too much violence and trigger the final mechanism, flooding the entire secret passage, and he also escaped. Can't come out, although it is reasonable that this kind of situation will not happen.

Xiao Shishi knew that he couldn't survive.He colluded with outsiders and broke into the Xianlin Palace. No matter what the reason was, it was unforgivable, let alone touched someone on the crown prince's heart.At this moment, he had given everything but failed to kill Qiao Yu, and the result almost made him lose all his strength.He knew that Empress Chen had a secret passage in the palace, but he didn't know where it was, but he vaguely remembered that if this secret passage was entered by mistake, it would be washed away by groundwater and all traces would disappear.

Of course, including the lives of the people inside, no one can escape.

Xiao Shishi slashed at the iron gate blocking him fiercely, he knew what to do the fastest.

Not long after, the groundwater broke through the shackles and really rushed in into the dark passage.The water comes from the very beginning, destroying everything in a hurry, like a bamboo

Xiao Shishi didn't know if Qiao Yu had gone out, but it didn't matter, he was dying now, so he could presume a little in his heart.

"I adore her."

At this time, Qiao Yu was only a little away from the exit before he opened the last door, and was rushed out by the sudden flood. The water flowed through the line, triggered the mechanism, and fell down an iron gate, making it impossible for anyone to come out again.

Qiao Yu's wound was soaked in water, cold and painful, shivering in the early autumn wind, curled up into a ball, he looked around in a daze, saw the iron needles shining coldly on the wall, and realized that it was actually a wound. Near the Taiqing Palace, I didn't dare to stay for a long time, I always felt that there would be pursuers, so I forced my body to stand up, leaning on the wall, and limped towards the imperial dining room.

There is Changle Anping and a satisfactory courtyard there. Apart from Xianlin Palace, this is the only place he can go.

Qiao Yu's journey was extremely difficult. Almost every step he took, he felt that he couldn't take the next step. He wanted to lose his intuition because of the pain, but when he really didn't feel pain in his right hand and it was difficult to move, he couldn't move. Feeling scared, even thinking about the pain just now, let him still feel that he is alive.

He never thought that he would still have such a time, when his body was supported by pain, and his mind was full of Jing Yan.

Otherwise, Qiao Yu would not be able to go on.

There were no important people in the imperial dining room, and there were no ambushes around. Qiao Yu forced himself to walk to the side of the imperial dining room. His whole body was the same as that right hand. He had no consciousness at all, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. He could no longer hold on. up.

Qiao Yu desperately opened his eyes, he told himself not to sleep, not to close his eyes, he wanted to see the sun tomorrow, and Jing Yan tomorrow.

Obviously, obviously he made an agreement with Ah Ci.

Obviously...

The Daming Palace is more than half of the imperial palace away from here, Jing Yan was talking with the clan, but suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

This pain has no reason and is fleeting.
