Chapter 99
Chapter 99
In this world, most people will gradually forget what happened when they were young, especially when they were just born, they almost never have memories, but there are always exceptions to everything, and Shen Yanqing is that special case.
For example, the day Shen Yanqing just opened his eyes, he still remembered that he almost died at the hands of his mother seven times.
In Shen Yanqing's memory, the mother who was alone seldom smiled. She was always expressionless, staring out the window with empty eyes, and from time to time, she rushed to him who was still in the swaddle like a madman, and grabbed the baby's fragile body with one hand. On the neck, when he saw the blue lines on the baby's body, the other hand stopped his behavior.
She is a complete lunatic, Shen Yanqing came to this conclusion when she grew up a bit.
But she hid her madness very well. As long as there was someone around, she would be a dignified and elegant woman, always with a faint smile on her lips.
Shen Yanqing liked to see her smile very much.
But a mother rarely smiles at her children.
Such contradictory behavior stopped suddenly when Shen Yanqing was four years old. I don't know if it was because Shen Yanqing's opened facial features became more and more like hers, or because she felt that children should have memories at this age. Anyway, no matter what the reason, mother Instead of choking him, she began to self-mutilate in front of him.
She took a sharp knife and cut it on her skin one by one, and smiled foolishly.
Shen Yanqing never stopped her, but handed her the knife instead, because he didn't know that such behavior would kill people, he just wanted to see her smile.
Mother had an accident at last, her wounds were too deep and too many, and finally she couldn't pretend anymore, and she didn't even want to maintain the last disguise. She jumped into the lake in front of Xingdi and tried to drown herself, but she Not dead.
Instead, they bought a tailor-made iron cage, which locked their mother and son in the gradually declining Tongque Terrace.
Shen Yanqing never hated his mother.
But it can't be said that I like it. The twisted face that pinched his neck when I was a baby is still vivid in my memory, but Shen Yanqing likes to see her smile, and likes to hold him in her arms when she is happy occasionally, humming a little song softly to coax her He falls asleep.
Shen Yanqing wanted to make her happy.
So after Shen Yanqing escaped from the palace with his mother and was unfortunately infected with horse plague, he followed her will and cut off the bloody beauty's face with his own hands, even though he never dared to face himself again, and never dared to expose anyone who could. The reflective things were kept by his side, but Shen Yanqing still remembered her smile before she died, it seemed that as long as he recalled the curvature of the woman's mouth, he would have nothing to face.
Shen Yanqing knew her wish.
Shen Yanqing was seven years old at that time, and he didn't shed tears when his mother died, because she died with a smile.
She really wanted to be freed, so Shen Yanqing sent her to be freed.
She wanted revenge, so Shen Yanqing sold her body to bury her mother on the only way Shen Chi returned to the country, and used the intelligence network of Marquis Changxing to collect information about the Su country, and when the prince was traveling, he claimed to be sick and moved out to save the immature tortured by the prince. Such Su'e made this little princess willingly work for him, and became the best hidden stake to get rid of the prince.
Everything Shen Yanqing did was to please the mother in his heart who was willing to smile at her.
Shen Yanqing also thought that the only person in this world who was willing to smile at him was his mother.
Until a little chubby man in red fell off the city wall, and he grinned at him with a mouth missing his front teeth even though he had fallen badly.
That day, Shen Yanqing smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
Shen Yanqing knew that he was the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, as long as he was useful to his plan, Shen Yanqing was willing to do what he liked, chatting with him about the world outside, the battlefield, and Dong Lin's history.
Shen Yanqing even ate pastries that were inedible in the past in front of Shen Lingyuan, even though those things were a heavy burden on his body.
It's just that what Shen Yanqing didn't know was that such a small piece of gaudy food was so delicious, it was the sweetness that he had never tasted before.
But Shen Yanqing also fell into bed because of this piece of pastry.
Shen Yanqing probably had an impression from that time, but whatever he likes, there is a high probability that he won't get it, or he won't live long.
So when he saw the little fat man wiping tears secretly beside him and saying that he would never sneak over to bring him pastries again, Shen Yanqing knew that this little prince was leaving too.
It's just that Shen Yanqing didn't expect that when he recovered from his illness and went back to read under the crabapple tree again, there was a piece of hawthorn cake sandwiched in the middle of the book, and there were still some sporadic sugar foam on the top.
Shen Yanqing subconsciously looked at the low wall, and what he saw were two rolling eyes.
At that moment, Shen Yanqing realized that it was not this little prince who was going to leave, but him.
Later, Shen Yanqing's plan went smoothly. He took Su'e back to Jialing Pass and met Xingdi. His purpose was just to let Xingdi experience what it means to be lonely, but he overheard Xingdi by accident. The absurd idea of wanting to freeze Changxing Hou by his side.
Shen Yanqing is very smart, he quickly figured out one thing, why the women in the harem don't look happy, and none of them have received Emperor Xing's attention.
Perhaps, only the disappearance of Marquis Chang Xing can achieve Shen Yanqing's goal, and make Emperor Xing realize the feeling that life is worse than death.
Shen Yanqing had a new plan in mind, but he hesitated for the first time, he would always think of the little chubby pier climbing the wall, but the opportunity was fleeting, and at that time, Shen Yanqing's mother's last wish was more important in her heart.
As a result, as he wished, Chang Xing Hou came back to life, and Xing Di's absurd plan fell through.
At the same time, it was also Shen Yanqing's first time to see Emperor Xing's fury. The imperial army of Xinxia and Ye Lin acted together, one of them made a mess on the bright side, and the other turned upside down in the dark.
Shen Yanqing felt that he had found Emperor Xing's destiny.
Unexpectedly, it was Xingdi who discovered his weakness first.
……
"Dang--"
With a crisp sound, Shen Yanqing slowly opened his eyes. The silver cloud pattern dagger in his arms fell to the ground. It was the only thing that could reflect light around Shen Yanqing's body for more than ten years. He put the dagger back in his arms. middle.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a familiar person with a familiar sharp voice, "See His Royal Highness——"
"See Your Royal Highness!"
Only then did Shen Yanqing have time to observe his surroundings. The magma that should have been surging behind him had receded at some point, and the bloodstain on his palm was still there and didn't like to heal, but the stone no longer glowed and turned into an ordinary stone. Stone, and Cao Youde in front of him turned gray at some point, leading a group of eunuchs and maids, and behind him stood the forbidden army surrounding Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing swept through the crowd, opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't hear it, "What do you mean?"
Cao Youde waved his whisk, and soon a court lady came forward with water and clear porridge.
The old eunuch then said: "Return to His Royal Highness, His Majesty has already conferred you as the Crown Prince two years ago. His Majesty told the old servant that after two years, which is today, all affairs will be subject to His Royal Highness's arrangements. You see."
Everyone followed Cao Youde's movements and looked at them with extremely shocked expressions. What the guy was holding in his hand turned out to be a blank edict.
Shen Yanqing was as stable as Mount Tai. He rolled his eyes, got up immediately, and said to Cao Youde, "Then please take me out of here first, father-in-law."
Shen Yanqing didn't expect that he was still alive, and he didn't feel any discomfort when he bled for that magical stone.
It seems that if the previous people died like this, the physical sense seems to be good.
Two years have passed in a flash, and earth-shaking changes have taken place outside.
Emperor Xing said that he was seriously ill, and the little prince was young, so his mother listened to the government behind the curtain.
The most important thing is that the battle between Beili and Donglin is becoming more and more tense. Cao Youde told Shen Yanqing that a young prince appeared in Beili, who was invincible and conquered nine cities in Donglin one after another. Qiyuan where it is located.
"Your Majesty's intention is that as long as Shen Yanqing withdraws the troops, the edict will take effect." Cao Youde squeezed his throat, leaned over, and said with a slight smile on his lips.
Shen Yanqing took a panoramic view of Cao Youde's unchanging signature moves for many years, he took a sip of the tea in the cup, and opened his mouth in a neither salty nor weak way: "The people in the city have been evacuated?"
Cao Youde replied, "Yes."
Shen Yanqing poured another cup of tea and handed it to Cao Youde, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Cao Youde declined, "Your Highness the Crown Prince loves you, but this old slave would not dare."
Shen Yanqing took back the teacup, curled the corners of her lips, "Does my father-in-law know how Emperor Xing evaluates me?"
Cao Youde was puzzled, "This old slave doesn't know."
Shen Yanqing narrowed her pale eyes slightly: "He said that I resemble him the most."
Cao Youde sneered for a while, took the teacup after meeting those undeniable eyes, took a sip with Shen Yanqing, and flattered: "His Royal Highness is wise and powerful, indeed he has the style of His Majesty back then."
Shen Yanqing put away her smile and put down her teacup: "Didn't my father-in-law think it's too big a deal for me to share my skin?"
Cao Youde was startled, but time didn't give him any chance to ask back.
Shen Yanqing looked at the gradually losing popularity of the old eunuch, "Sure enough, Emperor Xing didn't even tell you that he is invulnerable to all poisons. Eunuch has been careful all his life, but he was deceived by the person he trusted the most. The Cao family is so powerful, he How can I keep you."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yanqing walked towards the door and said to the outside: "Come in, I know you have something to say to me."
After Shen Yanqing finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, the wooden door slowly opened, and a woman wearing five-color phoenix brocade came in, with a golden phoenix crown on her head, her hands on her lower abdomen, and a face exactly like Shen Yanqing's.
She glanced at the old eunuch who was lying on the ground, and looked at Shen Yanqing with black eyes, "Teacher is still as ruthless as usual."
Shen Yanqing looked at the face that made him do all this, but found that his heart no longer expected her to smile.
Shen Yanqing didn't answer Su'e's question, but said indifferently: "I didn't expect you to raise his child."
Su'e lowered her eyes, "Children are innocent."
Shen Yanqing: "Is that really the case?"
Su'e rolled her eyelids: "Otherwise what does the teacher think?"
Shen Yanqing remained calm: "I never thought you would have such big ambitions."
"Isn't the teacher's long-cherished wish to restore the country of Su?" Su'e suddenly raised her head, and the luxurious golden fork tassels collided, "Don't the teacher feel that she is the last person who should not appear?"
Shen Yanqing glanced at the woman's face again, then slowly walked back to the table and sat down, "What are you going to do? Announce to the public that I will kill him?" Shen Yanqing pointed to the old eunuch.
Su'e frowned slightly, and took a step forward, "In the teacher's heart, I am such a woman?"
Shen Yanqing didn't speak, took a sip of water, and continued to stare at Su'e.
Su'e met Shen Yanqing's gaze, but some things were engraved in her bones, and it was not a fear that could be eliminated overnight.
Su'e was defeated, she turned around, her red lips lightened: "As long as the teacher leaves, I will not pursue this matter."
Su'e turned her back to Shen Yanqing, she was waiting for his response.
Shen Yanqing did not answer.
The two stalemate for a while, and just when Su'e couldn't hold on, there was a burst of panicked footsteps outside.
The spies who used to belong to Shen Yanqing are now lying in Su'e's ear, and they don't know what they said.
Shen Yanqing stared at the woman's back for a while, then stood up.
Su'e turned her head to look at her, and there was obvious distrust in those eyes.
Shen Yanqing didn't give her another look. He walked out and said, "Xingdi wants to kill his mother and keep his son. This is the last lesson I will teach you. I don't know if Beili's army can be delayed." How long will you stay, you, leave quickly."
Qiyuan City is not big, a square town with a well-regulated city wall, but there are not many people inside, and the rest of them fled in a hurry when they saw the 30 armored soldiers in Beili. There was only one man, Wearing white clothes, he stepped onto the city wall step by step, and took out a dagger from his arms.
The silver blade refracted the light of the sun, and a loud eagle's cry sounded.
Shen Yanqing paused slightly with the hand that moved towards the neck, and he saw the man rushing forward.
The author has something to say:
The story ends here, echoing from beginning to end, and there will be no more extras.
The road to the completion of this article is really bumpy, because the death of a loved one made me bring too much sadness into writing the article. To be honest, this article is my cinnabar mole, otherwise I would not be able to persist all the way intermittently Up to now, thank you for your reading and support, and we will meet again if we are destined~ Let me mention that the outline of this article is indeed cut off, including the entire volume of the fourth volume. The original setting was the intrigue of the first three volumes. The fourth volume will write about the process of two people being together after experiencing all this, but if the fourth volume is written, there is a high probability that the emotional line will be the main line, and the real story line will also end in the third volume, so I decided to make the volume Si Dan took it out and opened a book, counting it as a sister chapter of Beauty and Enmity, to make a supplement to the story, if there are more people who want to read it, I will open it, if everyone is not interested, let them finish the finale by themselves in the story world the way~
