In her past life, her father was murdered, her mother was imprisoned, her brother was violated, and her son had his heart gouged out. Su Xuening feigned madness her entire life but still couldn'...
"It's destroyed!" Everyone was overjoyed at the sight of this miraculous scene.
The fire, which had been extinguished by dozens of basins of water, was put out by a single sneeze from the Xuanwu divine beast.
"This really is the Xuanwu divine beast!"
"The Xuanwu divine beast is quite powerful!"
"Mythical beasts are truly mythical beasts! One can breathe fire, and the other can breathe water; they're both incredibly powerful!"
When everyone in the hall witnessed the power of the two divine beasts, they all thought of their Azure Dragon divine beast.
"I wonder when our Azure Dragon divine beast will appear!"
"Yes, the divine beasts of Western Liang and Eastern Chu have already appeared. When will it be our turn, Northern Wei!"
"Our Northern Wei's Azure Dragon is the head of the Four Divine Beasts. In reality, it would definitely be more powerful than the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise!"
"Chirp!"
"hiss!"
Seemingly dissatisfied with their words, the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise beasts simultaneously roared to the sky, instantly silencing everyone in the hall.
These two things can spray water and fire, so you can't talk nonsense, or you won't even know how you died.
The fire was extinguished, but Helian Qin was badly burned and could barely move, lying on the ground. He had been desperately calling for help from Helian Rong, but now he couldn't even make a sound.
"Third brother!" Helian Zheng and Helian Jun quickly helped him up when they saw this.
"It hurts!" The two men's movements aggravated Helian Qin's wound, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Don't touch him yet," Su Xuening suddenly said, startling Helian Zheng and Helian Jun.
The two glanced at the serious-looking Su Xuening and unconsciously listened to her, putting Helian Qin back on the ground.
Su Xuening descended the jade steps and went to Helian Qin's side to check on his injuries.
Helian Qin was also somewhat afraid of Su Xuening from the bottom of his heart, and unconsciously became vigilant.
Although she had just saved him, her ability to command the Xuanwu divine beast was frightening enough and enough to make him wary!
Su Xuening didn't touch Helian Qin, but squatted down beside him to check his injuries. Seeing that his injuries were serious, she frowned and turned to the Xuanwu Divine Beast: "Can you spray some more water on him?"
The Xuanwu mythical beast sniffed, about to sneeze again.
Su Xuening suddenly stopped her again: "Wait a minute."
Su Xuening looked at the Azure Dragon Guards beside her and said, "Quickly bring up the wooden buckets and basins from earlier."
The Azure Dragon Guards obediently brought over all the water containers they had just used and placed them in front of Su Xuening.
Su Xuening then looked at the Xuanwu Divine Beast: "Could you please fill all of these up?"
The Xuanwu divine beast glanced at the pots and buckets in front of it, and this time it didn't sneeze, but instead opened its mouth directly.
"Splash!" The wooden basins and buckets were instantly filled.
"Thank you." Su Xuening nodded gratefully to the Xuanwu Divine Beast, then looked at Helian Qin: "Huo'er's Heavenly Fire is very powerful. Your burns are severe. Without the Xuanwu Divine Beast's Heavenly Water, your injuries would not have healed. Go back and soak in the Heavenly Water. Soak continuously when it hurts, and once the pain subsides, soak twice a day. You should feel better in a few days."
Helian Qin didn't know if what Su Xuening said was true, but he had just been doused with water by the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and now the fire on his body had not only been extinguished, but his pain had also been slightly relieved.
But why would this girl help him?
Seeing Helian Qin's wary gaze, Su Xuening seemed to see through his thoughts and explained, "I didn't do it for you, I did it for my great-grandfather, and also for my father. I know my great-grandfather didn't want you to die, and my father didn't want my great-grandfather to be sad, so I saved you!"
Helian Qin raised his eyes and glanced at Helian Rong on the dragon throne. Seeing the worry in his cloudy eyes, he felt much less resentment towards him.
He knew that without his father, the emperor, he would surely die today.
Helian Qin looked at Su Renzhong again. Although he was still angry with him, the girl's words just now made him less resistant to Helian Ci.
Su Xuening looked at Helian Qin seriously again: "My mother really is the Empress of Western Liang. My father did not covet the throne of Northern Wei. He came to Northern Wei under duress. We have come all the way to Northern Wei to find my father, not to seize the throne. Of course, if my great-grandfather is very fond of my father and decides to pass the throne of Northern Wei to him, and my father also decides to shoulder the burden of Northern Wei, then our family will respect my father's decision."
...Everyone understood what Su Xuening said, but they were all extremely agitated.
Well, judging from their tone, they might not even want the throne!
They weren't there to steal the throne, because even if they were given it, the other party might not want it!
Helian Qin had initially felt some goodwill towards Su Xuening's rescue efforts, but upon hearing her words, he became quite angry again.
What kind of nonsense is this? Why does the Emperor insist on passing the throne to Helian Ci? Are his three sons just figureheads?
Su Xuening was telling the truth, after all, her great-grandfather had already revealed his thoughts to them before, but now these people obviously thought she was deliberately provoking them.
Knowing that saying more would only lead to more mistakes, Su Xuening decided not to say anything more and returned to Helian Rong's side.
Seeing that Helian Qin was out of danger, Helian Rong was no longer worried about him. Instead, he looked curiously at Xiao Bao in his arms and asked, "Ning'er, did Xiao Bao just summon the Xuanwu Divine Beast?"
Su Xuening nodded and smiled helplessly, "Xuanwu Divine Beast was summoned by Xiaobao, so for the time being, no one but Xiaobao can summon Xuanwu Divine Beast."
Although the Xuanwu Divine Beast can obey her and Xuanyuan Zhan's commands, it's only because Xiaobao carries their aura that the Xuanwu Divine Beast recognizes them and obeys their commands.
However, they cannot actually summon the Xuanwu Divine Beast; summoning the Xuanwu Divine Beast still depends on Xiaobao.
Helian Rong looked at Xiao Bao with surprise: "Did Xiao Bao summon the Xuanwu divine beast? Isn't he the new emperor of Eastern Chu?"
Su Xuening shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's not Xiao Bao's father, it's Xiao Bao. On the day Xiao Bao's father ascended the throne, Xiao Bao summoned the Xuanwu divine beast when he was imprinting the Xuanwu mark."
"What?" Helian Rong's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, staring at Su Xuening in disbelief: "You're saying Xiao Bao's father is the new emperor of Eastern Chu?"
Su Xuening was taken aback by his question, and nodded blankly: "Yes, isn't Xiaobao's father downstairs? He's here to wish you a happy birthday too!"
Xuanyuan Zhan has been here for so long, hasn't he noticed him at all?
Helian Rong then looked down at Xuan Yuanzhan in shock.
Is he Xiaobao's father?
The new emperor of Eastern Chu?
Helian Rong glanced at the baby in his arms, then at Xuan Yuanzhan below.
...With these two identical faces, what else could he not understand?
Well, isn't that guy down there the girl's husband, Xiao Bao's father?
