Chapter 033 The villain who usurped the throne Alpha8
simple
The news of Zi Yan's awakening was passed on to those who should know as quickly as possible, and they rushed to the imperial palace in the shortest time possible.
Su Sui'an rushed over as fast as he could and saw Si Wang standing at the door with a gloomy temperament. He slowed down his breathing and asked, "How is it?"
"Uncle Hao and Bai Mingxi are inside." Si Wang raised his dark eyes without any bright light in them. His tone was not so much telling Su Sui'an as wanting him to believe it himself, "He's awake, he'll be fine."
Su Sui'an sighed lightly. He knew that no matter what he said to Si Wang now, it would be futile.
Although Si Wang is sensitive inside, his will is as hard as steel. It is no exaggeration to say that he is indestructible. This kind of firm will is a good thing under normal circumstances, and it can enable him to overcome many dangerous difficulties. But at this time, an overly strong will will instead form an obsession, and this obsession is now on Jian Ziyan.
A trace of worry flashed across Su Sui'an's eyes, but he still said nothing. He just waited outside nervously with Si Wang.
After a long time, Bai Mingxi opened the door, glanced at the two Alphas outside the door, and reluctantly stepped aside: "He's awake, be gentle, don't say anything to provoke him."
The two nodded immediately, and they stepped carefully onto the thick carpet that was specially laid in the room without making any sound.
They saw Jian Ziyan, whose face looked fair and clean, lying on a large dark-colored bed.
Although she looks so haggard and weak, she has an amazing beauty, just like the beauty of a flower only becomes more gorgeous when it is very light; that kind of beauty, returning to its original simplicity, is even more moving.
Hearing someone coming in, his ink-black eyes slowly turned and fixed on the two people.
Si Wang and Su Sui'an both became nervous all of a sudden. They couldn't help but hold their breath and stand there obediently, waiting for what Jian Ziyan would say.
However, Jian Ziyan just glanced at them and turned to Hao Hui beside him.
"Old man Hao, you really betrayed me."
As soon as he saw Si Wang's expression, he knew that the scene in the insect mother's belly was not an illusion.
Si Wang must have known the truth and went to rescue him personally. Apart from himself, the only one who knew this secret was Hao Hui.
Hao Hui had known that Jian Ziyan would raise this issue. Just as he was about to speak, Si Wang's hoarse voice rang out.
"Don't blame Uncle Hao. I...forced him to say that."
Facing the strange gazes from others, Si Wang remained motionless, staring at Jian Ziyan steadily, choosing his words carefully.
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
Jian Ziyan's plain and pure face showed a look similar to a sneer, and he said: "Uncle Hao? You two really have hooked up with each other."
Even though he was so weak, his tone didn't change at all. After saying just a few short words, he gasped for breath and his face turned even paler.
Hao Hui stopped Si Wang who was about to speak. He saw that Si Wang was in an unstable mood and might not say anything.
"Xiao Yan, I know you are angry now, but if His Majesty had not known the truth, you would be dead now."
His original intention was to comfort Jian Ziyan. Although he was very angry about Si Wang hurting Jian Ziyan, looking at the entire galaxy now, only Si Wang could save Jian Ziyan, and he couldn't let Jian Ziyan reject him too much.
However, when Jian Ziyan heard this, his face flushed slightly, and anger lingered in his eyes: "What's wrong with death? When have I ever been afraid of death? Uncle Hao, you know I have been planning for so many years... so many years! Now, you tell me everything? I... cough cough!"
As soon as he coughed, his whole body trembled with pain and he curled up unnaturally like a shrimp.
"Zi Yan!" Bai Mingxi exclaimed and held him down. While casting a healing spell, he turned around and yelled at the others, "Can you please stop making him angry? Otherwise, get out!"
The little Omega scolded the Alphas and Betas in the room, but no one dared to refute him.
"I... I'm sorry." Si Wang showed regret on his face and murmured in a very soft voice.
Jian Ziyan subconsciously held Bai Mingxi's arm tightly and looked straight at Su Sui'an: "Are you also involved in this matter?"
He didn't notice that Bai Mingxi, who was held by him, not only did not show any resistance, but instead had a faint blush on her cheeks, and lowered her head and moved closer to Jian Ziyan.
Su Sui'an smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry." He was afraid of upsetting Jian Ziyan, so he apologized straightforwardly.
"I'm sorry... saying sorry is useless."
Jian Ziyan sat up with the help of Bai Mingxi. He slowly glanced at the people in the room. Everyone looked at him with concern and heartache. He knew that his underwear had been stripped off completely.
After clearly realizing this, the anger on his face gradually faded, including the curse in his eyes, and he seemed a little lost.
Si Wang, who had been paying close attention to him, was the first to notice something was wrong. He said carefully and tentatively: "Even if I knew the truth, I would still do what you want. Don't be angry."
Jian Ziyan was silent.
Si Wang became even more anxious: "I will become the emperor, destroy the insect mother, and protect this empire. Don't worry, I will do it. Just take care of your health, and I will give you everything back."
As soon as the words came out, Si Wang realized something was wrong.
What do you mean by return it to Jian Ziyan? What can he return? The filthy and powerful Jian family? Jian Ziyan had long since given up on it. Or the position of marshal? That was earned by Jian Ziyan through his own military merits. Besides, if he wanted, even if he sat on the throne directly, no one would say anything. Would he care about a mere marshal's rank?
Jian Ziyan was not the poor wretch who was jealous because everything was taken away from him; he was a dazzling phoenix, and everything in this world seemed to be a burden and insult to him.
Then what else could he give him, what could he use to keep him? Si Wang suddenly felt a little panicked.
In the silence, Jian Ziyan gently closed his eyes.
"Forget it." His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he seemed extremely tired. "It's come to this point, there's no point in saying anything, all of you go out, let me think about it."
No one wants to go out.
"Go." Jian Ziyan uttered a word.
"You guys go out first." Bai Mingxi looked at them, "Zi Yan's mental state is not very good, I need to continue treating him."
No one could refute this reason. Su Sui'an patted Si Wang on the shoulder, and he and Hao Hui dragged him out together.
Before going out, Hao Hui hesitated for a moment and turned around.
"Xiao Yan, it may not be a bad thing for them to know the truth. You have been carrying all this alone for too long. As the beneficiaries, they should share the burden with you."
Jian Ziyan didn't open his eyes or say anything, showing his refusal attitude to the extreme. Hao Hui had no choice but to look bitter and turn away.
Feeling the gentle mental power penetrate into his body, Jian Ziyan was silent for a moment before he realized that he was still holding Bai Mingxi's arm.
He opened his eyes and looked at Bai Mingxi, who was obedient and didn't resist at all with her eyelids slightly closed, and let him go: "You won't hide now."
What he meant was that when he was hiding his identity, he would flee as quickly as possible from Bai Mingxi as if he was avoiding the plague, for fear of being infected with even a little bit of his germs.
Bai Mingxi didn't open his eyes, but his neck turned red, and his voice was much softer and thinner than before: "I misunderstood you before... and slapped you. I'm sorry."
"Is today an apology meeting? Come one by one and compete to apologize." Jian Ziyan said in a light tone.
Bai Mingxi quietly opened her eyes and glanced at him. When she saw his profile, which was as bright and undulating as a spring mountain, her gaze gradually became infatuated.
Jian Ziyan turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Bai Mingxi shuddered all over. He suppressed his pounding heart, lowered his head and said carefully, "We were wrong in the first place. This is a fact. You don't want the person you have worked so hard to train to be a cold-blooded person who has no sense of shame and gratitude, right?"
His heart was filled with bitterness but also pride: I was personally trained by Jian Ziyan, and he considers me his successor. This is a unique trust and bond.
Jian Ziyan didn't know about his young and tactful feelings, but was quite surprised: "You are much more eloquent now than before."
Bai Mingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, taking this as a compliment, then, feeling Jian Ziyan's mental strength failing, he pursed his lips tightly again, tears glistening in his eyes.
Jian Ziyan was keenly aware of his emotional changes and immediately felt overwhelmed: "Weren't you talking back just now? Why are you crying again?"
Although he is also an Omega, he has been shouldering too many things and his growth environment is different from other Omegas, so he is simply unable to understand the delicate and sensitive nerves of other Omegas.
"As long as you tell us your true thoughts, we will all do what you say. Why do you have to hide it?" Bai Mingxi couldn't suppress the strong heartache and said with a sob, "If you had told us earlier, you wouldn't have been parasitized by the brain worm, and I would have been able to help you earlier, so that you wouldn't have become... like this..." (⑩)
He sobbed and cried.
Jian Ziyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and rubbed his hair.
"Although you grew up in a slum, you haven't experienced many things and are still too naive," he said. "The human heart is the most difficult thing to gamble with. Any slight mistake will lead to completely different results. I don't want to gamble, and I dare not gamble. This is the only way to be safe."
Bai Mingxi was still stunned by his seemingly intimate gesture. She stared at him blankly and even forgot to cry.
"Don't cry anymore?" Jian Ziyan smiled slightly, and his plain face suddenly became bright with a smile. "Then listen to my instructions and control the direction of your mental power. Look at what you are doing. Your circuit is messed up."
Bai Mingxi was shocked all over, and he immediately realized that it was Jian Ziyan who was teaching him!
Teachings from a true, fifth-level spiritual healer.
Bai Mingxi's hands trembled slightly, and he immediately suppressed the temptation in his heart and listened carefully to Jian Ziyan's words.
…
For several days, Bai Mingxi stayed in Jian Ziyan's room, following his instructions and trying his best to repair his damaged mental power.
When it was over, Bai Mingxi sat down in a sweat, gasping for breath, but his eyes were bright.
Although his healing skills had improved under Jian Ziyan's training before, the progress was completely different now with Jian Ziyan's personal instruction. Under his guidance, he saw a more splendid and vast world, a world that only they could reach.
But even with his treatment, Jian Ziyan inevitably weakened. The long-term confrontation had already caused him to suffer serious losses. Coupled with this torture, even he could not save himself. How could Bai Mingxi, who had just come on the stage, do it?
Jian Ziyan was very clear about this, but he did not tell Bai Mingxi. He just asked Bai Mingxi, who was still gasping for breath, to continue practicing and correct the mistake he had just made.
In teaching, he is a strict teacher, but Bai Mingxi enjoys it.
He looked at Jian Ziyan's opening and closing lips seriously and obsessively, and when he was not aware of it, he gently licked his own.
How could that thing be fake in the first place? He couldn't help but think with regret.
"Let's stop here today. I will sort out my mental power later. I don't need you to stay here." Jian Ziyan paused and asked, "Is Si Wang still outside?"
Since that day, Si Wang would wait outside Jian Ziyan's door whenever he had time, hoping that he would call him in one day. Although Jian Ziyan's mental strength was exhausted, he could still feel his overly powerful mental strength outside the door at this distance.
Bai Mingxi's expression froze, and he nodded reluctantly: "He has been outside all the time, and he can't be driven away."
Jian Ziyan looked at him in surprise. If he remembered correctly, weren't they a couple? Why were they so disgusted with each other now?
"Don't worry about him. Go get some rest." Bai Mingxi tucked him in. "I'll come back tomorrow."
Jian Ziyan thought about it thoughtfully and said, "Please help me call him in."
Bai Mingxi opened his mouth, but after seeing Jian Ziyan's oppressive gaze, he slowly turned around and went out to call for help.
Facing Si Wang's surprised and delighted gaze, he was full of reluctance. Although he closed the door, he stayed at the door and did not leave.
In the room, Si Wang and Jian Ziyan looked at each other, as if they were in different worlds.
Si Wang's eyes were not sharp, but too intense and deep.
Jian Ziyan felt as if he was being pierced. In order to hide his discomfort, he deliberately glanced at him. His expression was arrogant and domineering, just like before.
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Do you need me to invite His Majesty the Great New Majesty to come in and sit down?"
Si Wang's eyes became hot and he almost burst into tears in front of Jian Ziyan.
He walked in slowly, came to Jian Ziyan's bedside, lowered his eyes and looked at him: "I thought you didn't want to see me again."
The look of guilt and pain was too strong. Jian Ziyan avoided his gaze: "I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."
To be honest, if the identities were exchanged, he would not feel sorry for the other person. Instead, he would feel that the other person was meddling in his affairs and trying to control his fate.
So the pain in Si Wang's eyes made him not know how to face it. He was more accustomed to dealing with contempt and malice, not this kind of look.
Si Wang looked at him deeply: "It's not so much that I don't want to, but I'm afraid."
"I'm afraid of seeing you, but I'm more afraid of not seeing you."
Jian Ziyan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Si Wang, if you talk like this, I will think you are flirting with me."
Si Wang suppressed the restlessness in his heart and looked at him steadily: "I know I am not worthy of telling you this, but I am serious."
This time Jian Ziyan was really surprised. He sat up straight and looked carefully into Si Wang's eyes. He couldn't see any sign of a joke from him, so he frowned.
"If you think you have to be responsible for me just because you slept with me, then you don't have to. I'm not one of those pampered Omegas, so don't use that to restrict me. You don't owe me anything. If you feel sorry for me, then you saved me and we're even now. Do you hear me?"
Si Wang lowered his eyes to hide the bitter look in them.
He guessed that with Jian Ziyan's pride, he would never hand himself over just because of something like that, but when he heard him say it with his own ears, he couldn't bear the heartache that spread in his heart.
If he was just an ordinary Omega, he would have collapsed long ago after encountering such a thing. Why is he so strong because he wants to be like that?
It's just that no one has been able to protect him for so many years, so he can only habitually shoulder everything and take care of himself.
He said that he was not one of those Omegas who were brought up in pampering, but Si Wang now wished very much that he was one of those Omegas, who were brought up with meticulous care and it didn't matter how unruly and spoiled he was.
He could then offer a large sum of money to marry him without letting him bear all those burdens and sufferings alone.
Jian Ziyan didn't want him to take responsibility, so he didn't dare to ask for it. He wanted to clear things up with him, but he didn't want to have nothing to do with him from now on.
Even though Jian Ziyan probably wanted to stay away from him very much, he still had a despicable hope in his heart, what if... he wanted him to take responsibility?
But he didn't dare say these words to Jian Ziyan. He had done so many excessive things that even he couldn't forgive himself. How could he have the face to beg for Jian Ziyan's forgiveness?
Although Si Wang didn't say anything, looking at his expression, Jian Ziyan knew that he didn't listen. He was about to say something else, but suddenly found that Si Wang's body seemed to be trying hard to suppress... trembling?
Jian Ziyan was shocked, he suddenly realized that he not only had Omega pheromones, but also was an Omega marked by Si Wang!
He no longer had the extra mental energy to suppress the pheromones. He had been spending the past two days alone with Bai Mingxi. The pheromones between Omegas would not attract or collide with each other, but that was not the case with Si Wang!
Alphas are born with extremely strong possessiveness and sexual desire towards their Omegas. This is an instinct that no one can control. So for Si Wang, being in the same room with him is a great test.
A gentle breeze blew in from the window, swirling silently in the room. The opened curtains made a rustling sound, which combined with the scent of Jian Ziyan's own pheromones, filled the room with fragrance.
Si Wang suppressed his instincts and pretended to be normal, but he was unable to suppress his body's natural reactions.
The animality and humanity collided violently in his body, causing a huge conflict. His whole body was trembling slightly, but he would rather let his blood flow backwards than hurt the person in front of him in the slightest.
He had already made an unacceptable mistake once, and he didn't even dare to ask for his forgiveness. How could he hurt him again under such animalistic control? He would kill himself first.
Noticing the change in Jian Ziyan's gaze, he remained calm: "Don't worry about what I will do. If you are afraid, you can have someone lock me up first."
It was not easy for him to meet Jian Ziyan once, and he was reluctant to leave.
Even if they locked him up or nailed him to the wall with a knife, he would be happy as long as he could listen to Jian Ziyan's conversation again.
Jian Ziyan opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know how to face this person.
In his plan, he never intended to continue to get along with this person after the secret was revealed. Now he was unable to bear Si Wang's pain and struggle, even if Si Wang did not want him to bear it.
Besides, in his situation…how can he get entangled with someone who still has a future with him?
"I asked you to come in just to tell you to stick to the path you think is right." Jian Ziyan's voice faded. "I know your goal. You want to clean up the entangled aristocratic forces in the empire and seek benefits for the common people. This is the only way out for the empire now. You are right."
Si Wang listened carefully and said, "I don't understand why you insist on letting me do this. If it were you, you would do it more perfectly and have more supporters."
In his plans, he saw a prophet with great strategy and vision. Everything arranged by Jian Ziyan was being realized one by one, and the deep-rooted cancer of the empire was being eradicated bit by bit.
He believed that better results would be achieved if Jian Ziyan personally did the things he wanted him to do.
Jian Ziyan looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you support an Omega ascending the throne?"
"Why not?" Si Wang asked calmly, "You have a more noble status than any of us. As long as you are willing to do it, there will be countless people supporting you."
Jian Ziyan curled the corners of his lips, not sure whether he was laughing at Si Wang's naivety or at his own so-called noble status.
"Bai Mingxi asked me a similar question before, and my answer will not change from then on." He said, "I won't gamble on human nature. If there is a slight possibility of failure, I will choose a safer method. Si Wang, you are the safest method. I chose you. This is my selfishness."
Si Wang's pupils shrank slightly. He could hardly suppress the surging emotions in his heart when he heard Jian Ziyan say that he chose him.
He wanted to hug him, kiss him, and bite hard on the wounded gland/ti, so that this person who said he chose him would belong to him completely.
Of course he didn't do that, but he couldn't suppress the slight tremor in his voice: "Do you really believe that I... can do what you expect?"
The one who answered him was Jian Ziyan's firm voice.
"I believe in you. If even you can't do it, then no one in this world can do it."
Si Wang stared at Jian Ziyan's bedside, a hot tear falling from his eyes and disappearing into the folds of his face.
"I understand." He raised his head with an ice-breaking smile on his face, softening his cold and hard lines. "I will work hard in this direction."
Jian Ziyan hummed softly and tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
"You... take good care of yourself. If you need anything, call me anytime." Si Wang looked at Jian Ziyan's profile reluctantly, desire and respect churning in his heart at the same time, burning his internal organs. His emotions clamored to leave his body and rush towards the person he longed for with his heart and eyes.
When he didn't get a response, he knew he had to leave. He didn't dare to ask for too much, so he looked at Jian Ziyan deeply again and turned away.
Si Wang opened the door and saw that there was not only Bai Mingxi at the door, but also Su Sui'an who came to visit Jian Ziyan. When they heard him coming out, they both looked over, but with completely different expressions.
Su Sui'an looked straight at him, and their eyes quickly exchanged some kind of Alpha information. Si Wang did not dodge, while Su Sui'an looked away.
Bai Mingxi frowned and pushed past Si Wang to walk into the house, saying, "Like I said just now, Zi Yan is tired today, you should go back."
Su Sui'an bowed to Si Wang and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Si Wang nodded lightly and was about to leave.
He had obtained Jian Ziyan's recognition and had obtained the most precious thing. He could not continue to be decadent. There were still too many things waiting for him to do, and he could not let Jian Ziyan down again.
However, at this moment, he heard Bai Mingxi's cry of fear.
"Zi Yan! Zi Yan, what's wrong with you!"
