2, Chapter 2(1/2)
Xue Shu was kidnapped back to the East Palace.
The East Palace, also known as Ciqing Palace, is located in Donghua Gate with three gates to the north and three courtyards. It is the residence of the princes of the Yan Dynasty. After Yin Chengyu was established as a prince at the age of seven, he moved to Ciqing Palace to live alone.
In ten years, Ciqing Palace has been built like an iron barrel, and now there is no need to be secretive about things. Yin Chengyu Shiran sat down in the main hall, and the eunuchs brought hot tea to him, and he held the tea cup
, lowered his eyes and sipped lightly.
After a while, Xue Shu, who was tied into a rice dumpling, was brought up and knelt in the hall.
Yin Chengyu looked at him with lowered eyes.
At this time, Xue Shu was still a young man of 17 or 18 years old. He was tall and thin, with clear and profound facial features. He was still young and immature. With the fierce look in his eyebrows, he looked like a wolf cub who had just left the mountains and was alone.
.
Fierce, but not enough to scare people.
Yin Chengyu couldn't help but think of the scene when the two met for the first time in the previous life.
At that time, Emperor Longfeng had entered his twilight years and began to be superstitious about the art of immortality. He often lived in Taoist temples to seek immortality and asked questions, and ignored court affairs. Xue Shu won the favor of Emperor Longfeng because of his meritorious service in rescuing him, and took charge of the court on his behalf.
Affairs. Not to mention the cabinet bachelors and courtiers, even the concubines and princes in the palace have to please and win over him.
After he heard that Xue Shu would accompany Emperor Longfeng to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors, he began to plan to meet Xue Shu. As long as Xue Shu could help him return to the court, he was willing to pay any price.
Xue Shu did help him, but the cost was himself.
He still remembered that after Xue Shu listened to his proposal, he looked at him with strange eyes, like a lone wolf locked on its prey, fierce and cruel: "Any conditions are acceptable?"
He sensed the danger, but had no way out.
So he nodded.
Xue Shu immediately smiled, leaned down and pinched his chin, bit his side of the neck mercilessly, leaving a deep red mark, and licked him repeatedly with an ambiguous tone: "How about this?"
?also?"
After so many years, Yin Chengyu actually can't remember clearly what he was feeling at that time.
Shocked? Humiliated? Desperate?
Maybe both.
But what impressed me the most was Xue Shu’s sinister features at that time.
He has a deep outline, long and narrow eyes, and extremely black eyes. He has a very aggressive appearance, but he wears a crimson python robe, so his depth is a little more unpredictable. He is like a colorful snake spitting out messages.
Son, sending him a cold invitation.
And he had no choice.
After five years of confinement, he has not avenged his great revenge and his grievances are hard to wash away. He no longer wants to wait passively, so he can only bear the humiliation and bear the burden and fight to the death.
He responded to Xue Shu.
The path he chose was his own. After years of entanglement and subjugation, he was angry and unwilling, but he had no regrets.
After all, without Xue Shu, there would be no him.
But whether he regrets it or not does not mean that he is so willing to let Xue Shu manipulate him. Especially now that he has the upper hand, he is still the noble and noble prince. But Xue Shu is no longer the one who controls life and death.
The powerful nine thousand years old.
Compared to the arrogant Nine Thousand Years Old man in his previous life, the taciturn young man kneeling below in coarse linen clothes is much more pleasing to the eye.
Yin Chengyu's eyebrows stretched and he showed a cheerful smile.
"what is it call?"
"Xue Shu."
Even when he was kneeling, Xue Shu's back was straight and he did not show any signs of flinching. He stared straight at the person sitting high up, and clenched his fingers hanging by his side, as if he wanted to grab something.
Yin Chengyu didn't notice. He felt physically and mentally comfortable now, and even his tone softened a little: "Come forward and let me take a look."
Hearing this, Xue Shu took a few steps forward and was only half a step away from him.
Being so close, he could even smell the scent of incense emanating from the other person's clothes. It smelled better than any scent he had ever smelled. It was like plum blossoms in the snow, cool and cold, but also a little sweet.
.
It turns out he is like this.
Xue Shu pursed his lips and looked at Yin Chengyu with burning eyes, feeling that the immortal above the nine heavens was getting closer.
His gaze was unabashed, even a little presumptuous, which made Yin Chengyu feel offended and angry. He sneered, put down the tea cup, lifted his chin with his toes, and said with a superior look: "I want to come.
Are you here to serve me?"
Yin Chengyu's original intention was to humiliate the other party.
In his previous life, Xue Shu had played all sorts of tricks on him, but now his situation was reversed, and Xue Shu fell into his hands. If he didn't take revenge one by one, it would be hard to let go of the hatred in his heart.
However, when Xue Shu heard his words, he did not show any humiliation.
The pair of lone wolf-like black eyes suddenly raised, and there was a sudden surge in them. Even the tone was vaguely full of desire and joy, and it sounded heavy and oppressive: "I want to."
This was completely different from the scenario he imagined.
Yin Chengyu was stunned, and then became even more indescribably angry.
There is really nothing likable about Xue Shu! He should have been thrown into that dirty room to die on his own!
"You're not worthy." Yin Chengyu leaned down and patted his cheek with great disdain.
Xue Shu didn't care, he said extremely seriously: "I will be worthy of it."
He walked around, as if trying to find evidence for his words, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Lin, the captain of the guard who was guarding the side with a knife. He raised his chin slightly and said in an arrogant tone: "I am better than him, he doesn't dare to kill, I dare
.”
Zhao Lin's face twitched, but he couldn't refute.
It's not a question of whether he dares to kill or not, but that Xue Shu has a ruthlessness in his heart that no one else has. He was ordered to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness is in danger, he will naturally not be merciful to the enemy. But if he encounters
He will never kill innocent and weak people indiscriminately.
But he was determined that as long as His Highness gave the order, Xue Shu would kill no matter who was in front of him.
He is like a sharp blade, with no right or wrong, good or evil in his eyes, only killing.
He had only seen this kind of person in Dongchang. Isn't that what those Dongchang people did when they were doing things? As long as there was an order from above, even a newborn baby would be killed.
Zhao Lin's temples were twitching. He didn't know why His Highness, who had always been kind and kind, suddenly brought such a person back.
Yin Chengyu chuckled lightly, but this time he did not question Xue Shu's words.
Xue Shu is indeed a handy knife.
But even though he wanted to use this knife, he didn't want to see him too proud and arrogant, so he rested his chin lazily, glanced at his abdomen, settled for a moment, and said lightly: "If you want to stay with me, you need to
Are you willing to be purified?"
"Yes." Xue Shu looked at him in surprise, seemingly confused.
Yin Chengyu realized belatedly that if he hadn't kidnapped the man back, he would have been cleansed by now.
Looking at Xue Shu, who looked ignorant and fearless, he couldn't help but sneered.
I don’t know who will regret it later.
I remember that when he was tortured so hard and even cursed "dead eunuch" for a few times, he would try harder to get it back. That is to say, he is young and frivolous now and doesn't know how to cherish it.
Yin Chengyu was extremely bored when he couldn't see him showing any humiliation. When he looked at him again, he felt it was an eyesore, so he waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry." Then he said to Zhao Lin: "You take people to resettle him first."
Xue Shu glanced at him again before following Zhao Lin and retreating.
After the others left, Zheng Duobao served Yin Chengyu more hot tea and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you going to keep Mr. Xue in the East Palace?"
"Why are you staying in his east palace? Are you bothering Gu Gu's eyes?" Thinking of that scene, Yin Chengyu frowned and his tone became a little unhappy.
When he was first welcomed back to the court in his previous life, Xue Shu also lived in the East Palace.
As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the East Factory, he has his own residence both inside and outside the palace, but he has to live in the East Palace with an unjustified name and sleep with him.
Eat, go in and go out together.
The euphemistic name is to serve the prince, but in reality it is just to make things easier for him!
Recalling those wild past events now made him want to throw Xue Shu back to Jamsil immediately.
Zheng Duobao saw the change in his expression. Although he couldn't guess the reason, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and said more cautiously: "Then what should Mr. Xue do?"
"Send the person to the West Factory." Before he could finish speaking, Yin Chengyu made a decision.
He was annoyed, but he didn't want to ruin the big event because of his personal emotions.
Xue Shu is not only a useful sword, but also an ally who can be entrusted with his back. This time, he took action, although Xue Shu was spared the pain of purification, but he did not want to disrupt the trajectory of his previous life.
In the last life, Xue Shu first entered the Zhidian Prison, and then went to the West Factory. He used ruthless means to climb all the way to the position of governor of the West Factory, suppressing the originally powerful Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
The current governor of the East Factory is still Gao Yuan. He and Gao Xian, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of the ceremony, are brothers of the same clan. They are loyal to the emperor on the surface and never get involved in the overt and secret fights among the princes. But in fact, they have long been with him.
The good second brother is colluding with each other.
