Chapter 407: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (13)
Lu Cha curiously stuck out his little head and looked into the hall.
With the help of the lightning flashing across the night sky, she could barely see Shen Yi curled up on the bed, covering his ears tightly, and he looked very wrong.
Lu Cha immediately climbed into the palace, closed the window, took out a tinder and relit the candle on the table.
The warm yellow candlelight faintly illuminated Shen Yi’s face, which was devoid of a trace of blood.
His unfocused eyes stared blankly into the air, as if he was in extreme fear, and his whole body was trembling.
It was obviously a nightmare.
Lu Cha belatedly remembered something.
The little villain's parents died in a thunderstorm.
On the same day, he and Shen Qiuxi were taken away by the old leader of Chunxue Pavilion and embarked on the path of being a killer.
It was mentioned in the original plot that Shen Yi's parents were assassins who defected from Chunxue Pavilion. They lived in hiding for many years and led an ordinary life.
Who knew that when Shen Yi and Shen Qiuxi were seven years old, people from Chunxue Pavilion found the small village where they were hiding.
According to the rules of the cabinet, the defecting killer must be executed.
Even though Shen Yi's parents were skilled in martial arts, they were no match for four hands and eventually died under the sword of the old Pavilion Master.
Shen Yi, who was originally waiting for his parents to come back home, only found the bodies of his parents.
Shen Yi's ruthlessness in trying to kill the old Pavilion Master despite his own injuries attracted the other party's attention, and they decided to take him back and train him to be a killer.
Shen Qiuxi was handed over to others for management.
And the old Pavilion Master personally cultivated Shen Yi.
But why would Shen Yi listen to his enemy?
He resisted angrily and kept looking for opportunities to kill the old Pavilion Master, but because he was young, he could not hide his emotions. After being exposed many times, he was hung in the dungeon of Chunxue Pavilion and beaten as punishment.
Countless torture instruments tortured him until Shen Yi learned to bow his head.
From then on, Shen Yi began to fear thunderstorms.
Even if I just hear thunder, I will tremble uncontrollably like a frightened bird.
Lu Cha gave up the idea of teasing the beauty earlier, walked to the bedside, and tried to comfort the frightened Shen Yi.
Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction. Just as she reached the bedside, Shen Yi suddenly jumped up, his five fingers forming claws, heading straight for her throat.
Lu Cha quickly dodged Shen Yi’s hand by moving sideways and slapped him on the top of the head.
Shen Yi was stunned.
The man who had been filled with murderous intent just a moment ago now hurriedly retreated deeper into the bed, holding his head in his hands, and unconsciously muttered:
"Don't hit me..."
"I will kill people..."
The disheveled beauty huddled helplessly in the corner between the bed and the wall. Her pale cheeks, stained with tears, added a sense of poignant fragility and brokenness.
A drop of blood slid down from the corner of the bitten lip, leaving a faint red line on the jade-like skin.
Just like a seriously injured but timid cub, hiding alone in the darkness and sobbing quietly, it makes people feel distressed and pity.
Lu Cha felt strangely a little guilty.
The force she used to hit the villain seemed a bit too strong.
Lu Cha knelt on the bed, forcibly pulled Shen Yi into his arms, and hugged him.
No matter how Shen Yi struggled and resisted, Lu Cha just tightened his arms to prevent him from breaking free.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my right arm.
Shen Yi bit Lu Cha’s arm tightly.
Lu Cha, however, was completely unaware of the pain. He gently stroked Shen Yi's head, as if smoothing out a cat's frizzy fur, and spoke softly without deliberately lowering his voice:
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm here to protect you. No one will hurt you."
Lu Cha comforted the frightened beauty in his arms over and over again.
Shen Yi gradually stopped struggling.
Feeling the slight smell of blood spreading in his mouth, he blinked his empty eyes woodenly.
My confused brain could barely discern——
This ghost has no malicious intent.
Lost in the past, his consciousness had returned to his childhood, and he mistook the white shadow for a ghost.
He couldn't see the appearance of the "ghost" in front of him, nor did he know where he was. He only felt that the other person's embrace was very warm, and there was a pleasant floral scent.
Shen Yi licked Lu Cha's injured arm helplessly through her clothes, and buried his face in her shoulder like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid to face an adult.
As if to please Lu Cha, Shen Yi gently rubbed his face against her shoulder, but his fingers were tightly grasping her hanging sleeves.
With a voice thick with tears, she asked cautiously, "Can you please not leave?"
"I can burn incense and paper for you."
Lu Cha reacted instantly.
The little villain thinks she is a ghost.
"If you don't do these things, I will stay."
Hearing Lu Cha's answer, Shen Yi gripped her sleeve even tighter, his knuckles bulging deeply, and he thought naively:
Are all ghosts so easy to talk to?
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +10, Darkness value -5.]
Lucha raised an eyebrow.
The little villain actually likes the tone of a female ghost?!
Hot chestnuts bursting out of the cold ashes—how unexpected!
Lu Cha simply hugged Shen Yi and lay down to sleep together. He wanted to take the opportunity to see what was hidden in his clothes.
As a result, the beauty's chest is now flat, obviously because something has been taken out.
Lu Cha could only close his eyes in disappointment.
I'll find another chance to watch it next time!
-
The next day.
Because he had to attend the morning court, Lu Cha did not sleep very soundly and woke up before dawn.
And Shen Yi, who was lying beside her, was sleeping soundly.
Lu Cha carefully pulled out his arm that was pressed under his neck by Shen Yi and tiptoed out of the palace.
Although she had ordered the secret guards to lead away the assassins guarding outside the palace before coming here last night, she was wearing a white dress and no bra.
If someone sees me, my identity as a girl will be exposed!
It takes about the time of an incense stick.
Shen Yi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes drowsily, supported himself on the bed and sat up, and suddenly felt the residual warmth under his hand.
He tilted his head in confusion.
I sleep on the inside of the bed, so where does the temperature on the outside come from?
Shen Yi glanced around the hall vigilantly, and when he found nothing unusual, he disguised himself as a woman again and opened the door.
After the rain, there were puddles of varying sizes on the ground in the yard.
There was also a hint of refreshing coolness in the air.
He vaguely remembered being awakened by thunder last night, and it seemed... he also met a very gentle ghost?
Shen Yi felt inexplicably absurd and called out Ying Yi, who was hiding in the dark: "Did anyone come here last night?"
Yingyi knelt on one knee on the ground: "Please forgive me, Master."
"Last night, my subordinates and other assassins from Chunxue Pavilion were suddenly attacked by a group of men in black. We were able to escape and return this morning. I don't know if anyone has been here before."
Shen Yi frowned slightly.
Who led his men away and sneaked into his palace to play tricks?
But at this moment, the door of the small palace was pushed open.
Yingyi hid immediately.
Xiao Shan led a group of palace servants into the courtyard and bowed, "Your servant greets Consort Shen."
“In compliance with your Majesty’s order, servants and others are here to help Shen Zhaoyi move her things to Chaoyang Palace.”
Shen Yi's eyes flickered slightly.
Chaoyang Palace is the palace closest to Helian Lu's bedroom, except for Fengyi Palace where the queen lives.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Something strange just happened here, and that pervert sent people over?
Shen Yi asked softly, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly change the palace for this concubine?"
Xiaoshan relayed Lucha's words to him truthfully:
"Your Majesty said that Zhaoyi Shen is in poor health. If she stays here for too long and catches a cold, she might become infertile."
“…” Shen Yi felt a tightness in his chest for no reason, but he had to pretend to be shy: “It is Shen Yi’s honor to be loved by His Majesty.”
Xiaoshan didn’t notice anything was wrong with Shen Yi, and ordered the palace servants to start moving things.
Shen Yi didn't have many things, so he packed them up quickly.
Xiaoshan walked in front to lead the way for Shen Yi. He couldn't help but sigh, "His Majesty knows that you like quietness, so he specially moved all the people living near Chaoyang Palace to other places."
"I have grown up with Your Majesty, and this is the first time I've seen Your Majesty care so much about someone."
Who would have thought that His Majesty would like Shen Zhaoyi's charming style?
Shen Yi maintained a proper smile: "Is His Majesty leaving the court now?"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty in person."
He wanted to find out whether the ghost last night was Helian Lu.
Xiaoshan: "At this hour, His Majesty should have just finished court and is preparing to go to the Imperial Study."
"Then I will take you there now. His Majesty will surely be very happy to see you."
His Majesty had instructed him that if Shen Zhaoyi wanted to see him, he should bring someone with him.
Shen Yi nodded slightly and followed Xiao Shan to the imperial study.
Just when he was halfway there, he saw two people coming towards him.
The man in green had gentle eyes and brows, and the young man in dragon robe had a smile on his lips.
On the contrary, it is very harmonious.
