    7.1

    After so many encounters and separations, and then encounters and separations again, Zhou Yunsheng had completely faded away. Sharing the energy that erupted within the other dimension, he quickly plunged into the next world.

    The surroundings were dim, the air was scattered with a strong smell of blood and rotting odor, and there were bursts and bursts of severe pain coming from his body, as if all his bones had been broken. Zhou Yunsheng turned his neck with difficulty and realized that he was inside a cell, opposite the cell door was a row of blood-stained torture devices, showing that the original owner was in a very bad situation.

    He didn’t rush to adjust his body data, but instead tapped on his intelligence to check the original owner’s details.

    This is another world where men, women, and brothers coexist, or a world where the protagonist attacker and protagonist subject are both reborn. Before the rebirth, the protagonist attacker was the dim king of the Great Yan Kingdom, who only knew how to levy and collect money and enjoy luxuries, and finally forced his own brother, King Xuan, to rise up in rebellion and shot him dead.

    The protagonist is a general, born from a family of generals, both civil and military, who should have fought in the battlefield to serve the country, but because of her beauty, she was forced into the palace by a dimwitted ruler and became a concubine. However, the king is surrounded by countless beauties, all of whom are very skillful, so how can the straightforward protagonist be able to cope with them? Seeing that the protagonist is getting more and more favored, they join hands against him and kill his child, who was just ten years old at that time.

    After that, the protagonist was abandoned by the king and lived alone in the cold palace for many years. But he has no love for the king but still have loyalty, so when King Xuan took over the palace, he did not return to King Xuan like the other concubines, but instead led the king to kill out of the siege, and eventually the two embraced each other with arrows piercing through the heart and died, and then both were reborn.

    Scum attackers become loyal dog attackers, bitchy recipients become cold recipients, these two people rebel against the cannon fodder of everyone, the plot is so cool that it gets high. But the people who were attacked by the cannon fodder are miserable, and the plagiarism and extermination of the family abound.

    This body is one of the most tragic, named Qi Xiu Jie, born in the Great Yan country’s top gate family Qi family, I also look as beautiful as peach and plum to take the color of the sky, very much favored by the emperor, and even threatened that as long as he gave birth to a small prince, will be immediately set up as a crown prince.

    Of course, that was all in the past. In the past, when King Xuan rebelled, the Qi family was the first to submit to the gate family, and Qi Xiu Jie was even included in King Xuan’s harem because of her outstanding appearance, and she was favored for two consecutive dynasties.

    After the rebirth of the dim king, the two most important things are to protect the protagonist and the child; the second is to get rid of King Xuan and the Qi family. After three years of laying out, King Xuan has been thwarted by him, the Qi family has been uprooted by him, and now Qi Xiu Jie, who is staying in the cell, is the last survivor, and will be beheaded on the following day.

    After reading the information, Zhou Yunsheng let out a long breath, then pulled his lips in boredom, he always liked to challenge high difficulties, but Qi Xiu Jie’s dead end was not considered difficult for him.

    Thinking, a line of people slowly walked into the cell, when the first person long body jade temperament elegant, after a person’s face harsh, frowning tightly, think it is responsible for the interrogation of qi xiu jie Li Jinxing Li King and the right phase of the GaoLang.

    Li Jin Xing, the king of Li, in his previous life was subjected to the suspicion of the dim king Li Jintian, and has been abandoned and not used, he is an idle prince, and at the same time, he is also the affectionate male supporting actor, if not for him taking care of him from time to time, the protagonist will not be subjected to the Gao Min in the cold palace and still live in the cold palace and be so at ease. In his previous life, he also saved Li Jintian and Gao Min, so this life is very much used by Li Jintian, from an idle prince into a pivotal real power prince of the country of Great Yan.

    Gao Lang is Gao Min’s full brother, who was killed by the Qi family’s conspiracy in his last life, and the protagonist in this life was saved by the insight and saved him, and from then on, he had a deadly grudge against the Qi family. Because of his love for the family, Li Jintian treats the Gao family very favorably, and frequently promotes Gao Lang over the course of three years, allowing him to sit on the position of the right minister from the Ministry of Public Works to the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Public Works.

    He is very vicious, but a little bit of small grudges will be remembered until the moment of death, not to mention the revenge of killing the life. Therefore, qi xiu jie fell in his hands was tortured not human form, qi family members were also slaughtered by his hands clean, even swaddling clothes in the small baby also do not let go.

    As such, Qi Xiu Jie’s wish needless to say Zhou Yun Sheng had already guessed that it must be to save his life and then take revenge.

    The group of people walked to the entrance of the cell, and the attendant following behind King Li placed a food box on the ground, which contained Qi Xiu Jie’s severed head rice.

    “What’s done for him to eat?” Gao Lang kicked open the food box with his foot and glanced at King Li unhappily when he saw the scrumptious dishes inside.

    “He’s dying, so let’s forget about the past and let him have a full meal.” King Li’s temperament was gentle and kind, and was not offended by Gao Lang’s disrespectful words and behavior.

    Gao Lang sneered, raised his foot and kicked the food box over, ordering, “Come here and eat.”

    The cell was the place of torture, and due to being drenched in blood for years, the floor floated with a layer of dark brown, foul-smelling and unpleasant dirt. Gao Lang’s move was an insult to Qi Xiu Jie.

    Zhou Yunsheng hung his head, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes, and rushed at King Li, arching his hand, “Please, Your Highness, let the guilty official see His Majesty one last time. The guilty minister has a secret matter to inform His Majesty.”

    “What secret things? It’s just as well to speak with this prime minister.” Li Jintian’s unrestrained favor had already caused Gao Lang to lose his proper place as a courtier.

    King Li glanced at him faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

    Zhou Yunsheng smiled contemptuously and questioned, “The matter is about the throne of the country, and it is necessary to talk to the Emperor face to face. Gao Daoren your status is high again, can you still replace the emperor?”

    In the Great Kingdom of Yan, who dares to say they can replace the Emperor? Isn’t this a rebellion? King Xuan’s death by a thousand cuts was still fresh in his mind. Moreover, the Qi family was once the top family of gatekeepers, harboring many major secrets, and no one could conclude that what Qi Xiu Jie was going to say would not have any impact on the Great Yan Kingdom.

    Thinking about this, Gaurang only nodded.

    King Li ordered a new meal to be prepared and left with a sigh.

    Li Jintian reborn after the temperament changed greatly, the previous life is a dim king, this life also did not clear to where, but became suspicious of the tyrant, to see which subjects do not see eye to eye on the copy of the family to exterminate the family, caused the dynasty to shake. If not for the protagonist to restrain him, but also gave birth to a stunning son, inherited the throne and stabilized the country, it is not allowed to wait for him to die, Yan will also die.

    I heard that Qi Xiu Jie had a confidential matter to present, he thought about it and finally went to the Heavenly Prison in person to explore.

    “What do you have to report?” Li Jintian dismissed his left and right and impatiently pursued the question.

    He was handsome and graceful, but he was less than seven feet tall, so it seemed that it was not the person he was looking for.

    Zhou Yunsheng’s high hanging heart dropped and slowly opened his mouth, “Please look at my eyes, Your Majesty.” The voice was very low and soothing, as if it carried a magic power, causing Li Jintian to involuntarily look down and then fall into a black vortex that was difficult to extricate himself from.

    “What does Your Majesty see in my eyes? Is it a piece of sincerity? The Qi family was loyal to the Emperor, why did the Emperor want to destroy the Qi family? The emperor has done wrong, the emperor trusting and reusing the Gao family is raising a tiger and killing himself.”

    Striking a hint into Li Jintian’s mind, Zhou Yunsheng waved his hand and dismissed him, then adjusted his body data to an optimal state and quietly waited for tomorrow.

    Li Jintian returned to the Palace of Nourishing Heart in a state of confusion and fell asleep. He had a dream of his last life. Soon after he was taken away from the palace by King Li and Gao Min, the head of the Qi family sent a few dead soldiers to rescue him, but they searched all the palaces and were unable to find him, and they had to retreat only when they saw King Xuan’s soldiers approaching the city. A few days later, the head of the Qi family found his body pierced by arrows, cried bitterly and buried it secretly.

    Qi Xiu Jie returns to King Xuan and becomes a generation of favored concubine with her stunning looks and delightful disposition. However, she has not forgotten her former husband and not only secretly offers the tablet of Li Jintian, but also secretly poisons King Xuan.

    King Xuan eventually died of poison, and the head of the Qi family led an army to besiege the imperial city, finding out how many of King Xuan’s children had been killed one by one, and vaulting Li Jintian’s child, who had been secretly fostered in the Qi family and was the only one who survived, onto the throne. On the day the child ascended to the throne, Qi Xiu Jie buried his bones into the royal tomb with his own hands, and then threw himself into a noose to follow his late husband.

    The funeral bell tolled loudly, and white streamers floated throughout Great Yan to see him off.

    Li Jintian woke up from the shock, recalling that dream, actually felt real and terrible, as if his soul was really bound in the cold and silent palace, accompanying Qi Xiujie through the humiliating and unbearable five years.

    How can it be? Could it be that this was a memory that he had lost? Even being able to be reborn after death, the current Li Jintian was extremely convinced of the matter of ghosts and gods. He held his forehead and thought and thought, feeling more and more alarmed.

    “Having a nightmare? Then go sleep in the side hall, I can’t sleep either with you tossing and turning and making noise.” Gao Min, who was lying beside him, woke up and said with great impatience. Before he died in his last life, he had sworn that he would never love Li Jintian again, so his attitude towards Li Jintian in this life was very cold.

    In the past, Li Jintian could tolerate and spoil him without any principle, but today, somehow, he felt a little difficult. He got up and put on his clothes, really went to the side hall, drank a cup of hot tea and let the palace people rub his temples, only then did he sleep again.

    The dream changed from the previous life to this life, in order to repay Gao Min for the kindness of sharing the same life and death, he favored the Gao family very much, not only did he appoint Gao Lang as the Duke of Yu, he also established Gao Min as the Queen of the King on the day of the Wan Shou Festival. He watched Gao Min walking towards him in full dress, the courtiers all knelt down to congratulate him, and the big red carpet continued to extend all the way to under the imperial throne. He smiled, and was about to go to hold Gao Min’s hand, when the scene suddenly distorted and changed, and he realized that he had died again, and became a transparent ghost, with white streamers hanging everywhere in the palace, and courtiers and courtiers kneeling in front of the palace and crying bitterly.

    Inside the hall, Gao Min stood in front of the huge coffin, his face did not have a sorrowful expression, tears of sadness, instead, he hung a wry smile.

    Li Jintian felt a little alarmed, and was about to take a closer look, when he saw Li Wang coming out from the side hall, holding Gao Min’s hand and sighing tersely, “We finally waited until today.”

    Gao Min nodded his head and slowly leaned against his shoulder, a look of exhaustion and relief overflowing between his brows.

    What is your relationship and what do you want? How did I die? Quickly tell me! Li Jintian wanted to grab the lapels of the two men to question, but saw his hand from the two men’s body through, then realized that he was dead again, two successive lives have died in the unexplained.

    Panic and hatred overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and he woke up with a yelp before thankfully realizing that he had merely dreamed a dream. But the dream that had lasted for two lifetimes seemed so real that he couldn’t stop shuddering every time he thought back on it.

    Did I trust the wrong person? Could it be that the Qi family is innocent? Could it be that Min Er really had an affair with his younger brother, and the two of them joined hands to assassinate me? Li Jintian’s head throbbed, seeing the chamberlain kneeling beside the bed with the dragon robe, he hurriedly asked, “What hour is it now?”

    “Back to Your Majesty, it is now the beginning of the dawning hour, and there are still two quarters of an hour before the court.”

    The beheading was at three minutes past noon, so it was still not too late. Li Jintian immediately had someone change his clothes and hurriedly marched to the Heavenly Prison.

    7.2

    Gao Lang hate to Qi Xiu Jie immediately on the death, but there is no way that the imperial decree written on the need to be executed the next day, if he is early to do is to disobey the decree. Yesterday Yamen, he deliberately went to the heavenly prison a trip, told the superintendent of punishment early tomorrow morning to Qi Xiu Jie killed. Supervisor of executioner promised to be, do not dare to disobey in the slightest.

    On the following morning, before the sun came out, the executioner sent two executioners to bring Zhou Yunsheng to the Noon Gate.

    “The sky is not yet bright, it is the time when Yang Qi has not yet arrived at Yin Qi is in full bloom, the two of you at this time of execution, down to the Yellow Springs, Qi Mou will not be able to come back to harass the two of you.” Zhou Yunsheng knelt on the torture platform, but did not see the slightest panic.

    The reason why the ancient rules beheading needs to be carried out at three moments of noon is because this time the yang qi is the most abundant, the prisoner just turned into a ghost will be washed away by the yang qi, can not retaliate to the executioner’s head. At this time, the dawning hour has not yet arrived, the temperature is cold and wet, which inexplicably brings a kind of eerie feeling.

    Ancient people on the matter of ghosts and gods is very faith, lest this knife chopped down for their own invoke a ghost, so the two executioners look at each other after coincidentally decided to wait for the sun to rise again execution.

    Zhou Yunsheng raised his eyes to check the color of the sky, it was almost dawn, Li Jintian had been dreaming all night and should have woken up by this time. That’s right, those two dreams were exactly the illusions that he had forcefully implanted in Li Jintian’s mind with his spiritual power. Gao Min’s character is straight, he can’t do ugly things such as rebel, adultery and so on.

    But so what? Gao Lang killed hundreds of Qi family members, Gao Min secretly poisoned Qi Xiu Jie and destroyed his body, such a blood feud can only be offset by the same extermination of the Gao family. Zhou Yunsheng had long said that if the protagonist did not make things difficult for him, he would never take the initiative to mess with him, and if the protagonist must make things difficult for him, he would only have to return the favor a hundred times a thousand times over.

    Not only would he have to go through thick and thin with the Gao family, Li Jintian, Gao Min along with their son, the future new Emperor of Great Yan, Li Xuyan, would all be killed in his hands. Since he had taken Qi Xiu Jie’s body, he had to do his best for Qi Xiu Jie.

    Zhou Yunsheng has a lazy character and is good at extravagance and enjoyment, but he has never slacked off on the two points of holding grudges and dedication.

    As they waited, the sun slowly rose and broke through the clouds, and the two executioners, seeing that the hour was almost up, opened an altar of strong wine, poured a few mouthfuls into it and sprayed it toward the sharp blade, then raised it high in the air.

    “Wait, stay under the knife!” The anxious voice stopped the descending steel blade in time, and the two executioners turned their heads to look, their legs and stomachs trembling in fear.

    “Your servant greets the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”

    “Get out of the way! It’s less than three minutes past noon, who told you to carry out the execution?” Li Jintian stormed out, kicking the two men to the ground one by one.

    “Your Majesty, it was the orders of the Sangha, the slaves had to obey!” The executioner climbed up and thumped his head.

    Gao Lang? Li Jintian’s eyes darkened for a moment, and he thought a little too much. Even his own decree dares to openly disobey, what else can the Gao family not do? When the Qi family was known as the most prestigious valves in Yan, the Qi family head was cautious and respectful in front of him, compared to today’s Gao Lang, he was simply called humble.

    Gao Min’s attitude towards himself is even more needless to mention, when he is happy to take care of a couple of sentences, and when he is not happy, he directly lets the palace people whisk himself away, without the slightest regard for his own emperor’s face.

    Favoring too much is not a good thing, the current Gao family has a tendency to override the royal power. And did Gao Min and his royal brother have an affair or not? When did they start?

    Li Jintian was disturbed by that dream, but after three years of spending time together, his feelings towards Gao Min had changed from gratitude to true love, and it was really hard to part with it.

    He decided to observe for a while and then see, maybe that dream was fake and unfounded. While reassuring himself in this way, he asked his close guards to release Qi Xiu Jie, who was tied up.

    Zhou Yunsheng was still kneeling on the torture platform, arching his hand and saying, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiving the guilty minister for a moment, but the guilty minister doesn’t need this bit of mercy. The sinful minister’s family is loyal to the emperor, to Great Yan, the sinful minister’s father for the emperor to bow and scrape his whole life, but I do not know why he will end up in this situation? But as the saying goes, if the king wants me to die, I have to die. My family deserves to be killed, and I don’t expect to be pardoned. I only have one wish, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it for me.”

    His eyes were full of grief, but no resentment, even wearing blood-stained prison clothes did not reduce the noble demeanor of a son of the world, clanking and proud. Seeing such Qi Xiu Jie, just like seeing the Jun Hou who struggled hard in King Xuan’s harem but was never crushed, Li Jintian’s eyes got a little hot, and he had to turn his face away and asked in a mute voice, “What is your wish?”

    The dream was all too real, ruffling his taut nerves again and again.

    “The guilty official only wants to ask what the guilty official’s family has done wrong to make the Emperor get rid of them. Please let the guilty official die with understanding, Your Majesty.” As the words fell, Zhou Yunsheng kowtowed hard, then straightened his back and unashamedly looked directly at the emperor.

    Li Jintian was stumped by the question and didn’t answer for a long time. The head of the Qi family had always acted cautiously, and was extremely strict with his clan, if he hadn’t experienced his last life, Li Jintian wouldn’t have doubted the Qi family’s loyalty at all. After he was reborn, he couldn’t tolerate the lackeys who turned their backs on their masters, and joined forces with Gao Lang and Li Wang to weave more than a hundred trumped-up charges into the Qi family’s head.

    Now that Qi Xiu Jie wanted him to speak clearly, he really couldn’t. That dream had once again surfaced in his mind, causing his already anxious and uncertain heart to shiver fiercely.

    If it was the Qi family who restored his country and preserved his bloodline for him after his death in the last life, then does it mean that he killed a loyal official by mistake? In his last life, when King Li took advantage of the chaos to save him from the palace, it was Gao Min’s hand that he held, and it was Gao Min’s face that he gazed at when he finally left. Does it mean that they already had an adulterous relationship in their last life?

    In this life, he came back, gave the Gao family great credibility, gave King Li supreme authority, gave Gao Min supreme honor, and in turn got rid of the loyal Qi family. The current Gao Lang, Li Wang, and Gao Min are fully capable of overthrowing him and then subverting his royal power, while he has lost the support of the Qi family and other gate families, but he has no power to fight back.

    Thinking about this, Li Jintian broke out in a cold sweat and couldn’t stop his feet from stumbling a few times, almost falling.

    “Bring Qi Guijun back to the Purple Chen Palace,” when he opened his mouth again, his tone was very weak, and when he saw that the movements of the several courtiers assisting him were very rude, he hastened to add, “Tell the eunuchs to go to the Purple Chen Palace right away, and serve them well.” Then he covered his face and left, not daring to look at the bloodstained Qi Xiu Jie again.

    ——————-

    Zhou Yunsheng soaked in the bath, unconcernedly rinsing his body full of wounds with hot water. This body appeared to be broken, but it was actually very strong on the inside, and it wouldn’t take more than a few days for it to fully recover.

    With Li Jintian’s command, the doctor did not dare to be slow, after a good diagnosis of the pulse opened a prescription, let people go down to boil. Purple Chen Palace originally belonged to Qi Xiu Jie’s palace, all furnishings are very luxurious, but due to the destruction of the Qi family, at this time has been empty, Qi Xiu Jie’s beloved are dead, rebel rebel, only a few left to sprinkle sweeping the palace maids.

    The breeze ruffled the white veil, making the large palace seem colder and colder. With his wet hair draped over his head, Zhou Yunsheng reclined on the soft couch by the window, staring at the morning sunlight that sprinkled down on the rising sun, and smiled with amusement.

    When Li Jintian went back on his word and let Qi Xiu Jie go, Gao Lang and Gao Min would definitely feel dissatisfied with this. If it was the Li Jintian of the past, they would have been willing to be subdued and appeased, but now that they were filled with suspicion, the more dissatisfied they were, the more they would cause Li Jintian’s resentment.

    This is not all, in the future, Gao Min would also put forward requests to participate in politics, go to the battlefield to crusade against the barbarians, etc. The original Li Jintian would have agreed to each of these requests and even strongly supported them, but now Li Jintian would only suspect that the Gao family is trying to seize power.

    Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it’s hard to pull them out.

    Zhou Yunsheng only needed to sit on the sidelines and watch them kill each other, there was no need to get his hands dirty. Of course, after getting rid of this group of people, he still had to train the next Great Yan Emperor. He has always been lazy, and once he fulfills Qi Xiu Jie’s wish, he will leave the palace to travel the world, not wanting to be trapped in the cold and empty dragon throne. When the emperor gets up earlier than the chicken, sleeps later than the dog, but also by the courtiers all sorts of admonition jurisdiction, is not a person to do things.

    By the way, before traveling in the clouds, I still have to find my lover who has been separated again. I wonder who he has become this time?

    Thinking about this, Zhou Yunsheng stroked the corner of his lips and smiled gently.

    ————-

    In the palace, Gao Lang questioned Li Jintian in front of the courtiers why he let Qi Xiu Jie go, and repeatedly emphasized that he was returning the tiger to the mountain, asking him to change his mind. All the ministers are incited by him and kneel down to present their sympathy, even King Li comes out to put pressure on Li Jintian.

    For the first time, Li Jintian intuitively felt the influence of Gao Lang and King Li among the courtiers, and the seed named suspicion that had already taken root quickly grew into a huge tree. He rejected Gao Lang’s request to execute Qi Xiu Jie, and whisked his sleeve away.

    Back to Yangxin Hall, Gao Min has already waited inside, is holding a folders flip through, from time to time with the imperial pen to write down the vermilion approval, his palace people cared to open the tribute tea placed on the imperial table, familiar with the brewing.

    This scene caused Li Jintian’s pupils to contract violently for a moment, but immediately recalled the image of Gao Min and himself embracing each other to death in his previous life. In any case, this person was willing to accompany him to the Yellow Springs, this deep friendship could not be faked. But it was just a dream, how could things in a dream be taken seriously? Gao Min and Li Wang had never crossed paths, so how could they have an affair?

    As she told herself this, Li Jintian finally calmed down and slowly walked over to Gao Min wanting to embrace him.

    Gao Min slapped him away with the fold and spoke coldly, “You released Qi Xiu Jie?”

    Li Jintian didn’t make a sound.

    He continued, “Have you forgotten how he betrayed you to join King Xuan? You killed his entire family, so beware of him seeking revenge on you.”

    “How can he take revenge? He’s the only one left in the Qi family, his body was also destroyed by your poisoning, and he can’t have children anymore, how else can he take revenge?” Li Jintian tiredly pressed and rubbed his brows and sighed, “He can’t do anything, let him go.”

    He stopped himself from thinking about what the Qi family had done after King Xuan ascended the throne in his last life. If those were true, it would be the same as him breaking his sharpest sword with his own hands, instead giving his weaknesses to someone else to take advantage of. He thought that after living two lives, he would never be so stupid as to do so.

    Struggling between belief and disbelief, Li Jintian felt a headache to the core.

    Gao Min could see his discomfort but did not care in the slightest, he only sneered and flung his sleeves away.

    Looking at his back, Li Jintian felt a chill in his heart.
