"The truth?"
Lin An held the brocade handkerchief, sobbed, wiped his tears, and glanced at Huaiqing pitifully.
Huai Qing took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said,
"After Duke Wei died, Xu Qi 'an decided to kill the emperor. For this reason, he had a detailed plan. Behind this matter, Duke Wei was even planning and guiding, including the Supervisor.
"Xu Qi 'an didn't kill His Majesty on impulse. Many forces were adding fuel to the fire. Things are far from as simple as you think."
All forces were adding fuel to the fire, including Wei Yuan and the Supervisor … Lin An said sadly,
"Everyone wants to harm Imperial Father. Everyone wants Imperial Father to die.
"I know that Father has done a lot of wrong things in the past 20 years of cultivation. Many people in the court are dissatisfied with him. But Huaiqing, he is our Father. Father loves me very much. Everyone wants him to die, but I don't want him to die.
"The person who doesn't want to kill Father is Xu Qi 'an."
She thought that Huaiqing said this to prove to her that Father was wrong. Xu Qi 'an killing Father was the same as him killing Marquess. They were all for the sake of the people.
But in the face of family affection, was there right or wrong?
Father was still her father, and Xu Qi 'an was still the enemy who killed Father.
Huaiqing's explanation did not make Lin An feel relieved.
"Yesterday, did you know that Xu Qi 'an and His Majesty fought outside the city, and the city wall collapsed?"
Huaiqing suddenly said.
Lin An was stunned for a moment. She recalled carefully. Brother Crown Prince seemed to have mentioned it, but he just mentioned it. At that time, she was extremely depressed and ignored these details.
Before she asked, she heard Huaiqing said lightly, "When did Father become so powerful?"
Lin An opened her mouth and wanted to say something but stopped.
She didn't know much about cultivation, but she still had a brain. Hearing Huaiqing's words, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Yes, when did Father become so powerful?
"Father, you've been hiding your strength all along?"
Lin An sobbed with red eyes and said with uncertainty.
Huaiqing sternly said, "To be precise, he is not our Imperial Father at all."
Lin An looked at his sister, Huaiqing, blankly. His brain hadn't turned around yet, and he didn't know what she was saying.
After a while, she asked, "What did you say?"
Huaiqing's expression did not change as she repeated what she had just said, "He is not our father emperor at all."
I didn't hear wrongly … Lin An widened his eyes and raised his voice.
"Don't, don't think that you can fool me with your nonsense. I didn't expect you to be like this, Huaiqing. If Imperial Father isn't Imperial Father, then who else could he be? "
Huaiqing said in a deep voice, "It was the late Empress Jeanne d 'Arc, also our grandfather."
Lin An fell into a strange silence and looked at Huaiqing as if she was looking at a monster.
Huai Qing nodded, indicating that this was the truth and that his sister's shock was understandable. Putting himself in Lin 'an's shoes, if he suddenly learned of this under the premise of not knowing anything, even if he looked calmer than Lin' an, the shock and disbelief in his heart would not be less.
"I understand how you feel, but let me finish …"
Huaiqing told the story in full detail. She said it clearly and in a simple way, like an excellent teacher teaching a stupid student.
Even someone like Lin An, who didn't know much about cultivation, could understand the context and logic of the matter.
More than forty years ago, the late Empress Jeanne d 'Arc had been corrupted by the Dao Chief of the Earth Sect and turned into a vicious "madman" … With the help of the Dao Chief of the Earth Sect, he possessed his own son, Duke Huai, and "parasitized" another son, Yuan Jing … Then he faked his death, avoided the eyes and ears of the Supervisor, and hid in the Dragon Vein to cultivate.
When Wei Yuan went to the Northern Region for the first time, he seized the opportunity to possess Yuan Jing. In the following twenty-one years, he openly indulged in cultivation. In order to deceive people, he deliberately made Yuan Jing, the clone, into a person with ordinary cultivation and no talent.
The real body was accumulating power in the Dragon Vein. In order to live forever, the late Empress had completely gone crazy. He colluded with the Witchcraft Cult, killed Wei Yuan, and killed a hundred thousand soldiers.
What he really wanted to do was even crazier and more unreasonable than this — to hand over the country of his ancestors!
The real Imperial Father died twenty-one years ago, and twenty-one years ago, I was only two years old … When Lin An heard the last part, she was trembling with fear and sorrow.
She was secretly afraid for a moment, and looked at Huaiqing without blinking.
"So, so Xu Qi 'an …"
Huaiqing grunted, "Maybe it was because of a personal grudge, but I believe that he did it because he didn't want the foundation of his ancestors to be destroyed. So in my eyes, killing His Majesty was the same as killing the Duke.
"A fatuous ruler who almost overturned the foundation of his ancestors, a fatuous ruler who cultivated for twenty years without caring about the life and death of the people, and a beast who killed his own son. I only think that Xu Qi 'an killed him well and happily."
After saying that, she glanced at Lin An.
"I have already told you the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Whether you want to be cruel to Xu Qi 'an or not is still up to you. After all, the late Empress has always loved you. Regardless of whether it was a deliberate act or not, it is always true. "
The second half of the last sentence was full of sarcasm.
Huaiqing, this woman, was dignified and noble on the surface, but in fact, she was best at hiding needles and hurting people in secret.
Lin An stared at her and bit her lip, "How do you know these?"
Huaiqing sighed, "It was Xu Qi 'an who found it out. When you don't know, he always pays more than you think."
"But he didn't tell me, he didn't tell me anything!"
Lin An clenched her hands into fists and said stubbornly.
Huaiqing sneered, "Tell you … Can you bear these things? Can you guarantee that you won't show any flaws in front of the late Empress? "
The eldest imperial daughter whispered, "He did it to protect you."
Lin An opened her mouth, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
"I, I know, I will send someone to summon him, I will not be angry with him …"
Her words were reserved, but her movements were in a hurry. She lifted her little skirt, got up, and was about to run out of the inner hall and out of Dexin Garden.
"You have no chance!"
Huaiqing sighed.
Lin An, who had just taken two steps, suddenly froze, turned back, looked at Huaiqing with a pale face, and trembled,
"What, what do you mean?"
"I haven't told you the specific situation of that battle. Although the plot of the late Empress didn't succeed, the spirit of the dragon vein collapsed and scattered everywhere. If the Dragon Breath can't be gathered, the Central Plains will be in chaos.
"In addition, his cultivation has been destroyed, and his physical condition is very bad. The Supervisor can't do anything. In order to survive, he will leave the capital, and it's unknown whether he can come back alive.
"Not long ago, he came to you to say goodbye to you."
The last sentence was like a needle piercing into Lin An's heart, making her so heartbroken that she almost couldn't breathe.
It turned out that he dragged his seriously injured body to say goodbye to me.
But I shut him out … Tears gushed out in an instant, like a flood bursting the dam, and she couldn't hold back anymore. She sobbed and said,
"I want to get him back … I, I still have a lot of things to say to him."
Remorse was overwhelming. She regretted that she didn't see him for the last time. She hated herself for rejecting the man who dragged his seriously injured body just to say goodbye to her.
Now that the man had left, it was hard to predict whether he would live or die, and it was impossible to see him again.
Tears blurred her vision. When people were at their saddest, they would cry so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
In a daze, she saw a figure coming over, reaching out to press her head, and said with a gentle smile,
"Your Highness, you look so ugly when you cry."
She opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at him blankly.
A few seconds later, she wiped away her tears and looked at Huaiqing in a daze.
Huaiqing had a clear conscience and a shameless look on her face.
If it were in the past, Pan Pan would jump over and fight with her. But now, she couldn't care less about Huaiqing. Her heart was filled with the joy of regaining what she had lost. She threw herself into Xu Qi 'an's arms and hooked her arms around his neck.
Burying her face in his neck, she sobbed and sobbed,
"Dog slave, dog slave …"
She hugged him very tightly, for fear that once she let go, this man would be lost.
Since the two had known each other, this was the boldest move Lin An had ever made. If the previous love was hidden in her heart because of their identities.
But now, she finally plucked up the courage and dared to throw herself into the arms of the dog slave.
"Your snot and tears are all on my neck …" Xu Qi 'an gently hugged Lin An's slender waist. When he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a murderous intent behind his head.
Facing a landslide in front of him, he calmly had an idea and said, "Your Highness, don't hug me so tightly. It hurts."
Hurts? Lin An raised his head as he washed his nose, looking at him with his eyes red from crying.
Xu Qi 'an definitely didn't mean to ask for credit. In front of Lin An, he tore open his clothes.
"Ah …"
Lian Juan was shocked and stepped back a few steps. She stared at the hideous wound on his chest and the nail embedded in his flesh. Her fingertips trembled and pressed on Xu Qi 'an's chest. Her tears burst like a dam, and she was very distressed.
He gained Lin An's pity and calmed Huaiqing's anger. Xu Qi 'an reaped satisfactory results with his professional operation as the Sea King.
"Your Highness."
Xu Qi 'an turned around and said to Huaiqing, "I'll send Lin An back first."
Huaiqing was expressionless, and no one could tell whether she was happy or angry.
…
After going to Shaoyin Palace, Lian Juan clung to Xu Qi 'an and asked the maids to bring the best pills and powders to try to cure his injury.
Seeing that it didn't work, she cried again.
Under the comfort of Xu Qi 'an's kind words, she finally stopped crying and sobbed in a low voice.
"No matter what, he doted on you for so many years after all. You still feel sad in your heart, right?"
Lian Juan's delicate body stiffened. She shook her head and sobbed,
"But I don't hate you, I don't hate you …"
Sure enough, she hated me before … Xu Qi 'an raised his hand and touched her cheek with his fingertips. It was soft and cool.
"Your Highness."
"Hmm?"
"I want to eat the rouge on Your Highness's mouth."
"Wuwu …"
…
At dusk.
Stargazing Tower, Eight Trigrams Platform.
Xu Qi 'an dragged his seriously injured body back. His face was still pale, but there was excitement between his eyebrows.
"Is the matter settled?"
The Supervisor sitting by the table raised his eyes and looked at him.
Xu Qi 'an nodded silently.
"Then start to absorb it."
The Supervisor opened his palm. The jade-colored scorpion-shaped seven absolute Gu was lying quietly, like a lifeless specimen.
"How to absorb it?"
When asking this question, Xu Qi 'an was thinking about how to eat this seven absolute Gu.
"Let's drip blood to recognize it first."
The Supervisor said and pressed on Xu Qi 'an's wrist, forcing a drop of blood from his fingertip.
The drop of blood flew towards the seven absolute Gu silently. When it got close, the originally peaceful Gu suddenly became anxious and struggled intensely, thirsting for blood.
It opened its sinister mouth and swallowed the drop of blood.
The jade-colored seven absolute Gu turned crimson red. Next, it jumped out of the Supervisor's palm and pounced towards Xu Qi 'an.
The seven absolute Gu that contained seven great Gu techniques … Xu Qi 'an did not dodge or resist. He calmly looked at the seven absolute Gu that was pouncing towards him.
