The pale moonlight shot into the bedroom from the window lattice and fell on the face of Yan Bolong, who was sleeping soundly. He was really tired today.
Not only is the body tired, but the mind is also tired. Therefore, even a pampered prince fell asleep quickly while sitting in such a cramped chair.
But, at this moment. Yan Bolong, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly disturbed by a strange rustling sound.
This sound made his consciousness gradually wake up from the haze. But due to sleepiness, my eyelids were not very responsive. I opened my eyes two or three times but could not fully open them.
However, Yanbolong's ears woke up earlier than its eyes. The first thing he regained consciousness was that he heard the rustling sound.
The sound was not loud, but it came out continuously, so that the sleeping Yanbolong had to pay attention to it.
Just now, he judged from the sound that came into his ears one after another that the movement was a bit like a person sucking something with his mouth...it sounded very disturbing.
At this time, Yan Bolong, who was still not too sober, thought to himself:
"Is the queen mother eating or drinking something?..." It is indeed possible.
The queen did not eat much during the day. It is very possible to wake up and have a midnight snack when you are hungry.
"But why are you eating in your father's palace?" This is very strange. You know, the Queen is a delicate person, and she attaches great importance to etiquette and manners. No matter how hungry she is, she would not eat in the palace of His Majesty King Yan.
Moreover, it is even more impossible for a queen who is well-mannered to make such unpleasant and rude noises while eating.
This is a little unusual... Yan Bolong is very curious. Thinking in my mind:
"Could it be that some palace maid was hungry and was stealing food here?" Thinking like this, he wanted to open his eyes and take a closer look.
At this time, raise your eyelids. The scene inside the outer hall of the palace slowly came into view. In a daze, Yan Bolong discovered that many of the lights in the hall had been extinguished at some point.
A few scattered lights could not fully illuminate the hall, causing everything in the room to be hidden in black and become extremely gloomy.
In this way, I could only rely on the light of a few lamps that were not extinguished to barely see everything in front of me clearly. After about two breaths, Yanbolong's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.
At this time, he could see some of the scenery in front of him more clearly. Finally, I know what is happening in this dormitory right now!
In the haziness, Yan Bolong discovered that not far away from him, there was a strange person standing with his back to him.
The figure was wearing a nightgown, with her hair disheveled. who is it? Yan Bolong stared at the figure with a confused look on his face.
He was very curious. Before falling asleep, he clearly stayed with his mother. They sat together in the outer hall of the palace and kept each other company until sleepiness hit them.
But the person standing there with her back to him at this moment was obviously not Queen Liu. So who is this figure in a nightgown?
Why do you suddenly appear here and now? He stared at it for a while. Yan Bolong suddenly discovered a problem.
That nightgown looks a little familiar! It seems like I have seen it somewhere... But, among the dignitaries in the palace, who would walk around in a nightgown.
Besides, it is still in the palace of His Majesty King Yan... This is indeed a bit abnormal! So Yan Bolong stood up from the chair.
He wanted to go up and see what was going on. He wanted to see what the man with his back to him was doing.
At this time, Yan Bolong had already noticed that the rustling sound he heard in his sleep, like a sound of sucking something, was exactly the person with his back to him, wearing a From the person wearing the nightgown.
It's really weird! ... Curiosity drove Yan Bolong to stand up from the chair, then quietly moved towards the figure.
As his footsteps moved, the distance between him and the man in a nightgown with disheveled hair got closer and closer.
Soon, they were only a stone's throw away from each other. Now that the distance was close, Yan Bolong stared at the back of the man's head and carefully asked:
"Who are you?" The guy in a nightgown with his hair hanging down immediately stopped sucking after hearing this question.
Then, he slowly turned his head. At this moment, Yan Bolong finally saw this man's face clearly!
I saw him, the skin on his face was slightly loose, like an octogenarian who had lost his appearance. However, even so, Yan Bolong was still able to identify his identity from his appearance!
"Father?..." That's right! This flabby-skinned figure with disheveled hair and wearing a nightgown is none other than Yan Huanren, King of Yan.
Seeing his father appear here like this, Yan Bolong was very curious. During the day, my father's face looked like a skeleton covered only with a layer of dry human skin, and he couldn't even look human.
But now, although his face is saggy and full of wrinkles, it at least looks like it has some flesh and blood and vitality, and no longer looks like a skeleton that seems to die at any moment.
But the strange thing is here. After spending a whole day with him in the palace, Yan Bolong was very aware of his father's condition.
During this day, my father only took a little porridge and decoction, but did not eat anything. Why can you recover so quickly?
It was so sudden! The condition of my father's body not only came and went quickly!
It’s really incredible! This makes Yan Bolong feel a little confused...
"What's going on?" However, confusion is confusion, no matter what...now that my father has recovered and can still walk normally.
It is something worth celebrating. As the eldest prince, Yan Bolong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God my father is okay! So, after calming down a little, he planned to step forward and help his father's arm so that he could ask his father what his needs and instructions were when he got up late at night.
But at this moment. Yan Huanren turned around completely. Then, Yan Bolong saw a terrifying scene!
I saw that my father was holding something in his hands at this time! To be precise, a corpse. It was a white-bone skeleton dressed in rich clothes and with thick black hair!
Yan Bolong was shocked when he saw this. When he saw clearly the clothing on the skeleton, he immediately recognized its identity.
It is my mother! Queen Liu! Yan Bolong was stunned. His eyes were full of horror. The steps under his feet retreated involuntarily.
Staring at his father, Yan Bolong seemed to have seen a ghost, and his face gradually turned pale. As he backed away, he asked in a trembling voice:
"Father!...You!...What are you going to do?..."
"Bah!" Yan Huanren didn't reply, but just threw the skeleton in his hand, dressed in rich clothes, on the ground.
He used his red eyes to stare at Yan Bolong, who had an ugly face and kept retreating.
Then his body shook! It turned into an afterimage and rushed over. Yan Bolong was shocked! He only felt his eyes blurred, and the next moment, his father's terrifying face was already close to him!
Immediately afterwards, his shoulders were firmly grasped, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move. The force was so strong that my shoulders were painfully squeezed.
But before he had time to shout for help, Yan Bolong saw his father open his bloody mouth and bite his neck fiercely... In an instant, he lost consciousness.
After five breaths. Yanbolong's body also turned into a skeleton. Immediately, Yan Huanren raised his face from his neck.
At this time, the face has returned to its previous appearance...
