The moonlight was pale.
The sky is extremely cold tonight, with only a lone moon hanging high in the night and no stars...
Palace guard Yang Yi was patrolling outside King Yan's palace.
This location is quite important.
It is closest to the palace of King Yan.
So don't be lazy...
Something big seems to have happened in the bedroom today.
Unfortunately, the news was blocked, and Yang Yi didn't know what happened.
It looked quite grim, and the princes and princesses came during the day.
The maids are also busy...
Although everyone said nothing about what happened inside and remained silent, it could be seen from their faces that the matter was not simple!
However, at night, several princes and ten princesses left again...
It seemed like nothing big happened.
Yang Yi wanted to inquire, but no one dared to tell the truth.
So he gave up.
Asking too many questions will do no good.
Recently, the Yan Palace has not been very peaceful...
It was already late at night, and there were still the eldest prince Yan Bolong and Queen Liu staying in the palace to accompany King Yan.
Yang Yi told himself.
“You absolutely can’t slack off!”
Maybe the eldest prince or queen will come out.
If you happened to catch him dozing off, you would be guilty of walking around in circles.
Therefore, although he was very tired, Yang Yi still managed to maintain his energy and paced back and forth in the corridor a few feet away from the gate of King Yan's palace, patrolling back and forth.
Can't stop, can't let sleepiness come over me.
He encouraged himself in his heart: "Keep on keeping on! You will be able to stay up until dawn soon. When dawn comes, you can change the guard and go back to sleep beautifully."
In the corridor, Yang Yi walked slowly with a knife in his hand.
"Squeak——"
Just as he was walking back and forth, he suddenly heard the sound of the bedroom door being opened.
Yang Yi was startled.
He quickly stopped and looked at the door that was pushed open.
Under the moonlight, there was only a shadow inside that door.
You can vaguely see the light of a candle swaying in the palace.
But, it's very vague.
This made Yang Yi unable to see clearly what was going on inside.
He was a little curious.
"His Majesty, King Yan, should be resting in the middle of the night... Why did you open the door?"
But after looking for a long time, no one came out of the door.
"Did it get blown open by the wind?"
It's possible.
Yang Yi looked around.
No one else was seen.
So, he slowly walked towards the open door.
Now that the door has been blown open, as a palace guard, it is my responsibility to go over and close the door again to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from sneaking in and disturbing His Majesty King Yan.
He walked over slowly.
The moonlight spreads on the path, like a layer of white frost...
Soon, Yang Yi approached the entrance of the palace.
He raised his hand, reached over, and grasped the knocker.
Try to be as gentle as possible so as not to make too much noise.
However.
Just when he grabbed the door knocker to close it, Yang Yimeng saw a figure standing in the shadow of the door.
Silently, standing in the shadows.
Yang Yi was shocked.
He really didn't expect that there was a person standing in the shadow!
Yang Yi quickly took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed, "No offense! I just saw that the door was blown open, so I wanted to close it..."
After touching and kowtowing a few times, he knelt on the ground and waited for his death.
After a while.
The person in the shadow stepped out.
Yang Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately saw a pair of bare feet in front of him.
No shoes...
"Which powerful person... actually walked out barefoot..."
Just as he was wondering, the man in front of him spoke, "Come in with me and take care of some small things."
After hearing this sentence, Yang Yi immediately identified this person's identity.
This is the King of Yan, Yan Huanren.
It’s really strange that King Yan has not been seen all day, but at midnight, he came out...
Yang Yi felt very curious.
It's so late, His Majesty King Yan asked me, a palace guard, to enter the palace... What can I do? …
So he asked, "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
"A vase is broken. Come in and clean it."
As King Yan spoke, he turned around and walked into the shadow inside the door again.
Yang Yi had no choice but to stand up.
He looked into the bedroom through the open door.
The back of His Majesty King Yan is already standing in the palace.
The candlelight flickered, but there was no wind but it was swaying...
Yang Yi swallowed and spat.
He felt that there was a sinister atmosphere inside...
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, "Why did you come out in the middle of the night to find me, a palace guard, to clean up the broken pieces of the vase??... Logically speaking, there should be a maid responsible for waiting inside..."
Some doubts.
But doubts remain doubts.
Since His Majesty King Yan personally came out to give him orders, he had no choice but to go in and do it.
It is not difficult to clean up some vase fragments.
Yang Yi stepped into the threshold of the palace.
After walking in, he saw King Yan standing next to a chair.
In the moonlight, you can see some things scattered around his feet.
But because it was dark and the candles were not clear, it was not clear what the pile of things was.
However, just when Yang Yi was about to take a closer look at the pile of things, the door behind him suddenly closed with a bang!
He was so frightened that he quickly turned around to see what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, cold sweat broke out.
Yang Yi discovered that this door was really weird! No one touched it, but it closed itself...
However, before he could figure out the situation, King Yan standing inside spoke, "Come here and pack your things."
Yang Yi had no choice but to turn around and say yes.
Since His Majesty has given the order, just go about your business with peace of mind, pack up and leave as soon as possible.
No longer thinking about anything, he moved over.
After getting closer, he looked at the pile of debris through the flickering candlelight.
But upon looking at it, I discovered that it was not the so-called vase fragments...
It seemed like a pile of clothes.
Yang Yi was puzzled.
So he raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty... where are the fragments of the vase?..."
"That's it, pick it up."
King Yan pointed to the clothes on the ground and ordered.
Yang Yi feels that His Majesty King Yan is really weird today...
If a piece of clothing falls on the floor, three other people need to pick it up?
What kind of disease is this?
Yang Yi couldn't help but swallow.
But since it is the king's order, we can only obey it.
He knelt down and held the clothes on the ground with both hands, trying to lift them up.
But at this moment, Yang Yi suddenly felt that there was something in these clothes! !
There seems to be something wrapped inside!
Pinch it up, it's hard.
So he quickly lowered his head and took a closer look.
But it didn't matter at this glance, Yang Yi was so frightened that he called his mother!
What was wrapped in the clothes was nothing else, but a skeleton!
Yang Yi was frightened and hurriedly wanted to throw the things away.
But the next moment, the skeleton wrapped in clothes suddenly opened its eyes!
Those are a pair of blood-red eyes! !
As his eyes opened, the skeleton stretched out a bone hand from its sleeve and grasped Yang Yi's throat tightly.
The skeleton immediately stood up, opened its white teeth, and bit Yang Yi's neck!
After four breaths.
Yang Yi turned into a withered skeleton.
However, the skeleton that just strangled him and bit his neck turned into the appearance of the eldest prince Yan Bolong! !
At this moment, Yan Bolong threw away Yang Yi's bones, stood up and looked at Yan Huanren, the King of Yan.
Their eyes are exactly the same!
At this time, they looked at each other but didn't say a word.
After a long time, Yan Bolong's eyes fell on Yang Yi's bones, while Yan Huanren walked to the inside and looked down at the ground.
On the ground were placed the dried corpses of Queen Liu, the palace maids Miao Ling, Qiangwei and the imperial physician.
"It seems... only people with my Yan Beichen bloodline can be resurrected by relying on the blood curse!"
Yan Huanren murmured to himself.
Yan Bolong on the other side raised his eyes and looked at Yan Huanren's back. A smile appeared on his face and he murmured to himself in the same tone, "You should be lucky! Fortunately, you are my descendant, Yan Beichen." ."
