The door was opened slightly, and before the person outside the door could react, Zhou Quan immediately reached out and grabbed the black figure——

Empty?

Zhou Quan was stunned.

However, his shock only lasted for a moment, and he returned to his full body alert state and attacked the black shadow.

Looking at the opponent's dodge skills, he was quick, agile and light-footed, as if he had practiced some martial arts, but it was hard to tell which sect he was using. Zhou Quan frowned slightly.

Who is so bold as to break into the emperor's palace at night? What's more, in front of him, the commander of the imperial guards, I'm really tired of living!

Seeing that the other party was about to escape, he used a move like a tiger returning to the mountain, stretched out his hands forward, clasped, pulled, and pulled the person back, dragging the person directly into the hall, throwing him on the cold floor, and fell four times.

Feet upward.

Before the man could get up, Mandrill stepped forward quickly and stepped on him. When he stepped hard, a cry of pain came from underneath him.

"Ouch! Holy shit! Your waist is about to be broken by stepping on it!"

Listening to that familiar voice, the expressions of the three people changed drastically.

"Commander Zhou! My subordinates just heard a strange noise coming from here. Is there something unexpected?"

The captain of the guard who was on duty at night rushed over with a small team of men and asked Zhou Quan nervously who was standing in front of the temple.

Zhou Quan immediately waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal, I was just having fun with the mandrill guard!"

The team leader said proudly: "Commander Zhou is practicing his skills with Master Mandrill, why don't he invite some brothers to observe! It's so that we can feast our eyes on it and learn a lot!"

"That's right!" "That's right!" "How could Commander Zhou secretly fight against Master Mandrill alone!" "It's so boring!"

Several guards shouted with excitement. Although Lord Mandrill is only a guard, his martial arts are the best in the palace! Therefore, the emperor gave him the title of fourth-grade sword-wielding guard and became the emperor's exclusive personal bodyguard.

The bodyguard is only loyal to the emperor. If there is no external mission, he will be inseparable from the emperor!

What an honor it would be to be able to compete with such a powerful person in martial arts!

"I said," Zhou Quan looked helpless looking at this group of brothers who were in high spirits and getting along day and night. He just wanted these good guys to leave quickly, so he said with a tiger face: "Such a big thing just happened today.

It's a restless night, what have you done? How unbecoming is it to make noise outside the emperor's chamber! Why don't you go on a patrol! If I see anyone being lazy or making a mistake, I will serve you with military law!"

Those few people knew that their commander was very serious when he was serious, so they quickly stood up at attention, performed a military salute, and said "Yes!" in a loud voice, then quickly left and returned to their posts, and soon they were in the darkness.

Their respective figures were hidden.

Zhou Quan looked around to make sure there was no suspicious figure around, then turned around and walked into the hall again, closing the door behind him.

Candles have been lit in the hall, and there is a person lying on the comfortable soft couch where the emperor usually likes to lie when he is tired from reviewing memorials. He is staring at Zhou Quan who is slowly approaching with tears in his eyes.

Mandrill, who was dressed in night clothes, kneaded and kneaded his back with his dexterous hands, but the man enjoying the service kept moaning and groaning. Mandrill, on the other hand, was full of resentment, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Qin Murong sat on another chair and yawned boredly. Then, he squinted his fox eyes and looked maliciously at the man who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked over to eavesdrop on their conversation——

Dragon body.

That's right, the person caught by Zhou Quan - strictly speaking, was their noble emperor. But in a sense, he was nobody. At least now, no one has figured out what the person in the dragon body is.

What on earth is this.

It may also be some kind of life that you don't know about.

for example--

Demons, demons, whatever, they don’t look like gods.

This explains why he is a living body, but his true body cannot be found. In this way, it is understandable that the emperor cannot return to his dragon body. Because this spiritual body is too powerful,

Ordinary people are much stronger.

Although he really didn't want to admit that the emperor was an ordinary person, everyone knew that Lin Jingyu, who was only 17 years old, was indeed an ordinary boy. Moreover, his talent was not very bright.

If one abandons the identity of the emperor and puts aside his royal bloodline, Lin Jingyu is no different from those young men who are just starting out in the folk. He is also unsophisticated, reckless, hot-blooded, unable to resist the temptation of women, and indulges in love.

Sexy. Just look at the voluptuous and stunningly beautiful women he snares in his harem. Although what he did did not go so far as to harm the country and the people, compared to this fake emperor, the latter was obviously more

Much smarter, although not very reliable...

…

God! What on earth are you thinking!

Qin Murong sighed softly and put his hand on his forehead, massaging his forehead gently.

I am here to help the emperor and solve his problems! How can I be skeptical and negative about that young boy! The emperor - Lin Jingyu, is also growing, absorbing and accepting the things around him. He has been very serious since he was a child.

He worked hard and studied harder than other princes, just to let the late emperor look at him more and to retain his mother-in-law's position in the heart of the late emperor.

‘My father’s heart is so big that it can hold the entire country. However, he often cannot remember the faces of other empresses, let alone those who have passed away? But——

'Even if my father no longer remembers my mother-in-law, I still want him to leave a place for my mother-in-law in his heart through me!'

These are the words that ten-year-old Lin Jingyu said to himself. Like a vow, they often echo in his mind.

Therefore, he especially likes this serious kid. But he really wants to tell Lin Jingyu: In fact, he looks nothing like his mother-in-law, Empress Shu. Even when the late emperor stared at him, he would not remember it.

Recall the appearance of the deceased woman.

Lin Jingyu's facial features look like his father's.

Qin Murong thought to himself: Maybe it was because of the 70% to 80% similarity in appearance that the late emperor made the fourth prince the crown prince! Even his indecisive temper was somewhat similar. Moreover, Concubine Shu died young.

, even if Lin Jingyu succeeds to the throne, he will not be affected by his mother and let the power fall into the hands of his relatives. What's more, the second prince is too reckless; the seventh and eighth princes

Too insidious and vicious, and they are twins, there will be problems no matter which one is appointed to the throne; the sixth prince suffered a serious illness when he was young, and his brain was a little confused. When he grew up, he did not care about political affairs, only looking for romance. The other princes

He died young due to various reasons. Taking all factors into account, only the fourth prince who worked hard and seriously followed the footsteps of the late emperor was the most qualified to ascend the throne.

Now that I think about it seriously, it's as if there was an invisible hand that gradually pushed Lin Jingyu, who lost his mother at a young age, to the forefront, and everything seemed so natural that even the courtiers could not find a reason to object.

.

But - when did things start to develop in this direction? I still remember Lin Jingyu's wish when he was a child, not to be an emperor. He just wanted to get out of the palace, travel across the country, and see the world with his own eyes.

Use your own feet to travel across the country protected by your father. Because this is the wish of Concubine Shu, and he is just fulfilling the wish of his mother who died young.

However, in the end, he ascended the throne and was trapped in this small palace.

If this was done deliberately by someone, then that person’s strategy and planning would be simply perfect!

Qin Murong couldn't help but shudder.

Who is it? Who deliberately pushed Lin Jingyu to the throne? If he becomes emperor, who will benefit?

——The Queen Mother? She is not Lin Jingyu’s biological mother. Considering it from her position, she would prefer that the sixth prince succeeds, right?

——Liu Xiang? He only hopes that his daughter will ascend to the throne. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, as long as he reaches an agreement with him, he will support it, right? Although Liu Susu has been close to Lin Jingyu since she was a child, but

That was not an inevitable condition for him to support Lin Jingyu. While the late emperor was still alive, he could have recommended other princes to the late emperor.

Could it be - that unidentified soul body? Is it possible that he has been following Lin Jingyu because he and Lin Jingyu's body fit? He pushed Lin Jingyu to the throne just to satisfy his own needs - to occupy the dragon body

, become the emperor yourself?

What then? What will he do?

Will he use the power in his hands to do whatever he wants?

Qin Murong was startled by the many thoughts that suddenly came to him. He quickly raised his eyes to look at that person, and met a pair of eyes looking at him with a teasing smile. The clear black eyes sparkled with meaning.

It's unclear, but it also reveals a little bit of cunning.

"I won't do anything wrong!" I looked at Qin Hu, who was restless, funny. "I told you that I have no interest in being an emperor. I prefer to be Lin Jingyu's woman!" When I said this, my face was a bit awkward.

Hot. I don’t know why I am so persistent with the little whale. It must be something I owed him in my previous life.

No, no, no, he owes me. I am here to collect debt.

After hearing what I said, Qin Huhu's face became ugly, and his beautiful face showed a terrifying look, which looked inexplicably weird in the flickering candlelight.

I was speechless.

Unexpectedly, beautiful women can become ferocious when frightened.

"Do you know what I was thinking just now?" he asked, clenching his fists quietly.

I tilted my head and looked at him, thought for a while, and then replied: "I know."

His body trembled unconsciously. I just thought it was funny.

"Maybe, it's not necessarily true that I am a demon or a ghost." I continued to scare him. He continued to turn pale.

The other two people looked at us inexplicably.

"I never imagined that Lin Jingyu looked like that when he was a child!" I sighed.

I don't know why, but I suddenly received his thoughts just now. They were not very strong, but I still had a vague impression of Lin Jingyu when I was a child.
