seven days later.

It was drizzling outside the window, and the weather was gloomy. The book in Ming Xi's hand had already turned to the last page. She looked up and looked at the dark green wall opposite. On the black wall clock, the golden numbers showed that it was already 05:30 in the afternoon.

In an hour, he will be back.

Ming Xi put down the book in her hand, and before she got up, the waitress brought a cup of warm milk, "Queen, please use it!"

"Thank you!" Ming Xi looked up at the young waitress while holding the milk, "I said, don't call me that again."

"I'm sorry, the king ordered us to do so." The maid lowered her head, not daring to look at her directly.

"I want to go for a walk in the garden." Ming Xi smiled slightly.

"Yes!" The waitress immediately picked up a black thin velvet toga and put it on for Ming Xi. The climate here is colder, ten degrees lower than that in Haicheng. Haicheng is still hot in summer, but here, it seems It's autumn.

Walking out of the room, from the corridor to the stairs, and then to the living room, there is a black-clothed maid standing every three meters. When Mingxi walks in front of them, their waists will be bent at sixty degrees. Will straighten up.

This dark kingdom, like the ancient royal family, is feudal and slavish. Although Ming and Xi can't get used to it, they can't change everything.

Holding a black umbrella and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, walking in the huge garden is one of Mingxi's pleasures here. Her world has gradually narrowed. Apart from playing the piano, listening to music, and watching home theater, the only time she can go is in the It is not allowed to take a walk here, even to leave the castle.

Mingxi is still not used to being here for seven days. Apart from this gloomy old castle, there is only the back garden, which is a place Mingxi can go to. It is like a huge cage. Although it is exquisite and comprehensive, it is still a cage.

No matter where she goes, there are maids waiting for her, every move, someone observes her color, and prepares everything she needs at any time.

This ancient castle is called Shengtian Castle, and it is the palace of Zun Wang. Only Ming Xi and Zun Wang live there, and more than 100 maids and servants serve them wholeheartedly.

Mingxi would often play the piano in the main hall on the first floor and play melodious and romantic classical music. Whenever this time, the faces of the maids would show unprecedented smiles, which was a feeling they had never experienced before.

Because of the existence of Mingxi, Shengtianbao has the breath of life, the breath of spring.

Not far from the Holy Sky Castle is the Dark Night Headquarters. Standing in the garden, Mingxi can overlook the silver-gray castle, standing tall, lonely and cold.

The high city walls surrounded the castle, like a circle painted on the ground, enclosing them in a confinement. The walls were covered with thorny vines and purple-black flowers, which were extremely weird.

Although it was only less than a kilometer away, the Holy Sky Castle looked much more normal. Although they were all the same gray and dark, at least the flowers in the garden were of normal colors and exuded a fresh fragrance.

Every morning, Mingxi could hear an orderly sound of yelling. Those heroic but slightly childish voices all came from the throats of children. Mingxi could probably guess that they were newcomers trained by the dark night. 16-year-old future killer.

King Zun left early and returned late every day, like a normal office worker, but Ming Xi knew that what he did was not normal at all.

She seemed to be able to smell a vague smell of blood in the air. At midnight, she was often awakened by nightmares. It seemed that in this castle, ghosts of unjust death were haunting everywhere...

"Stop!" A startled shout came suddenly, interrupting Ming Xi's thoughts, before she could recover, a small black figure jumped in from the courtyard wall and rushed towards Ming Xi...

Ming Xi backed away in shock, and the two maids immediately stood in front of her. After a few strokes with the figure, they were repulsed by the other party. Before Ming Xi could react, a cold object touched her neck. "Don't move around, or I will kill you!"

Proficient in English, with a cold but immature voice, Ming Xi carefully tilted her neck, lowered her eyes, and looked at her side. This black boy who was half shorter than herself had curly hair, dark skin, and bright but piercing eyes. .

"Who are you?" Ming Xi didn't panic, she was just curious, how could a child break in here?Is he the killer that the night is cultivating?Why did he come here?

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you must help me get out of here, otherwise, your throat will be cut by me." The boy gritted his teeth with a ferocious look.

"Presumptuous, how dare you speak to the queen like this." Leng Qin jumped in from the courtyard, with four tall black men behind her.

"It turns out that you are the queen, so it will be easier." The boy smiled triumphantly, and pressed the knife in his hand against Ming Xi's neck even harder.

Ming Xi raised her eyebrows and stared at Leng Qin, she knew that Leng Qin was clearly deliberately exposing her identity, so that the boy would not let her as a precious hostage go.

"Heiying, you dared to escape from the training base because you couldn't stand the strict training. Do you know that this is a capital crime?" Leng Qin walked forward slowly.

"What kind of training is that? It's obviously extreme abuse. If I stay here, I'll either die or go crazy. It's better to fight hard and find a chance to sneak out." The black boy said angrily, "Let me leave quickly, or I will die." Kill the queen."

Ming Xi was startled, how could An Ye be so cruel?How could you treat these underage children like this?

"Bastard, when you were desperate, it was An Ye who took you in. Now we are training you severely, just to increase your ability, but you are actually ungrateful." Leng Qin shouted sharply.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and drive a car to let me go, or I will kill her..." Soi Ying was already a little anxious, because everyone heard the sound of a car not far away, and Zun Wang had returned.

"Don't be impulsive. If you don't want to stay here, I'll tell Wang to let you go, okay?" Ming Xi gently persuaded.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Zunwang is extremely cruel, he will be so easy to talk and let me go?" Heiying's knife exerted force again, and Ming Xi's neck had already been cut with a shallow cut.

"He will, he will agree, you are still young, you still have a bright future, don't be impulsive, let me go first, be obedient..." Ming Xi continued to persuade.

"You treat me like a child? Do you think..." Soi Ying's body suddenly froze before he finished speaking, and a figure rushed over like lightning, snatching the knife from his hand.

Before Ming Xi could react, the black shadow fell to the ground.

Turning around, Ming Xi saw that Black Shadow's throat had been pierced by a slender iron rod, and the blood flowed violently, and the person who did it was the slender, wax-skinned gardener mother-in-law who was nearly seventy years old.
