Chapter 2337 Madness (1st update)
While Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were immersed in this long-lost tenderness, in another corner of the capital, Prince Yun’s Mansion.
“Ah!”
“No!”
“No…”
On the bed, Qi Xingyun closed his eyes tightly and frowned.
While sleeping, he uttered painful murmurs, as if he was experiencing the most terrifying thing.
Outside the house, the maid who was keeping watch heard the sound and quickly entered the house.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
The maid just walked to the bed and reached out her hand to push Qi Xingyun gently.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed before his eyes.
“Ah!”
The maid screamed and fell to the ground.
The popping sound woke up Qi Xingyun on the bed.
He sat up suddenly and found that his whole body was wet with cold sweat again. He was holding a sword in his hand, and blood was still dripping from one end of the sword.
On the ground in front of the bed, a maid fell in a pool of blood.
Qi Xingyun came to his senses, quickly dropped the sword in his hand, jumped out of bed, and picked up the maid.
My fingers probed under the maid's nose, and there was still breath.
He quickly carried the maid to his bed and laid her down. Then he took the pills that he had spent a lot of money to get and stuffed them into the maid's mouth.
Tear off a corner of her obscene clothes and tie the injured part of the maid tightly.
"Here comes someone!"
Outside the house, a guard quickly rushed in.
"Your Majesty..."
The guard just called out, and suddenly saw the blood on the ground and the maid lying on the bed.
The guard looked tense and quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and came to Qi Xingyun to protect Qi Xingyun behind him.
"There is no assassin, the person was injured by me."
Qi Xingyun pushed the guard away and said in a deep voice.
Under the light, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his tone of voice revealed weakness and frustration.
The guards did not dare to ask more questions, but they were suspicious.
He has been following the prince for several years. The prince is the God of War in Da Qi. He uses soldiers like a god and is even more heroic in killing enemies on the battlefield.
Privately, he is friendly to the soldiers at the bottom.
When he is outside, he is even more friendly to the people. He often does good deeds such as building bridges and paving roads.
He is a well-known wise king in Daqi. When talking about his prince, everyone praises him.
In the palace, he also kept a clean mind. Not to mention that the position of the main concubine and side concubine was always vacant. Even the bed-warming maid sent by the Queen, the prince had not touched.
Be conscientious and friendly to others.
However, in recent times, for some reason, the prince has been acting a little strange.
Especially when sleeping, I always have nightmares.
When you wake up from a nightmare, you will feel depressed for a while.
Sometimes I would wake up with a headache. I was not allowed to call the imperial doctor if I had pain, and I was not allowed to tell anyone about it. When the pain was the most unbearable, I would lock myself in the study and smash things crazily.
Tonight it was even worse. He actually wounded this maid with a sword in his sleep.
The maids are cheap, and the prince can kill as many as he wants. However, the guards are a little worried about the prince...
"Your Majesty, why don't you invite a doctor to come and take a look?" The guard couldn't help but said.
"Your appearance makes me really worried..." he said again.
Qi Xingyun raised his hand and interrupted the guard.
"It doesn't matter to me, I had a nightmare and accidentally hurt her." He said. "Take her away and treat her injuries. Don't make any noise about what happened tonight." He warned.
The guard nodded: "I obey."
The guard walked over, picked up the maid horizontally, and was about to take her away when he was stopped by Qi Xingyun.
"Two days from tomorrow, I will accompany my father to the Xishan Hunting Ground for hunting. I don't want any news about tonight to leak out and be made a big fuss by people with ulterior motives."
"This maid has been placed in a place for the past few days to let her recover. After the hunting is over, she will be released." Qi Xingyun said.
The guard is Qi Xingyun's confidant, he understands.
This hunt is an excellent opportunity for the prince to show his talent in front of the emperor.
Although the East Palace already has an owner, as long as the person in the East Palace does not sit in that position for a day, everything will change.
My prince is so outstanding and well-known, he is the true pride of heaven.
Thinking of this, the guard said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this subordinate understands. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, then this subordinate will go down first."
Qi Xingyun waved his hand.
The guard quickly left the house with the unconscious maid.
Qi Xingyun turned around, looked at the large pool of blood left at his feet, and frowned tightly again.
The previous dream appeared in his mind again.
The overwhelming red color and the pungent smell of blood lingering in the nose.
Qi Xingyun covered his chest and staggered back to the desk in the corner, then sat down on the chair almost exhausted.
"Why?"
"Why have I always had that dream since I was a child?"
He murmured, racking his brains to recall the scene in the dream.
Every time, he seemed to be looking through a blurry screen.
He saw a vague figure lying on the ground, a lot of blood...
Although he couldn't see clearly who fell to the ground and what he looked like, his intuition told him that it was a woman.
It was a man who killed that woman.
Because in his dream, he also saw a pair of men’s feet...
“Ah!”
He let out a low growl of pain, and his head seemed to be splitting again.
Every time when he thought about this dream carefully, trying to see the man's face clearly, and wanting to see clearly where the feet were going up, his head felt like it was about to explode in pain.
This dream will not happen for no reason, and he will have this dream for more than ten years.
The past few years were a little better, but this year, for some reason, this dream has appeared frequently.
Every time he had this dream, his temperament would become violent, cruel, and even murderous.
In his sleep, he kills people.
He was very afraid of himself like this, which made him feel as if there was another person hiding in his body.
That person shared this body with him, so that he could not fully control it.
This feeling of not being completely in control made him feel very insecure.
Qi Xingyun recalled that before he was ten years old, he lived in the palace and was raised in the name of the palace empress.
It was the first time he had such a nightmare, and he was so frightened that he cried.
The queen who was so kind to him in front of his father during the day, in that late night, when he longed for the warm embrace and touch of a mother,
she was just cold She glanced at him coldly and gave him a warning look.
Then, he threw him to the nanny beside him.
After he was ten years old, he decisively went to the military camp and asked to start as a soldier.
It's not that he likes to suffer, but that he is afraid of loneliness and wants to have more people. The more people there are, and everyone can talk and make trouble together, he will not have that kind of dream, and he will not be afraid.
Besides, we were very tired in the military camp. We were exhausted from practicing during the day, so we fell asleep at night without any dreams.
