Chapter 268 The person in front of me is no longer the young man he used to be!

The plum garden is remote, and although the wooden houses are old, they do not look dilapidated. The moss under the eaves has been cleaned up, which shows that someone takes care of them regularly.

For fear of attracting attention, Huo Tianling did not turn on the lamp. He hid in the darkness, clutching the medicine bottle, and stroking the dagger at his waist from time to time.

Moonlight streamed into the room, and the shadows cast by the plum branches outside the window intertwined on his face, making his expression look gloomy.

Finally, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the door... Although the sound was soft, it could not escape his ears!

Hearing that the person was indeed a woman, Huo Tianling curled his lips in pride and almost laughed out loud.

He held his breath, and the moment the door was opened, he suddenly sprinkled powder at the intruder. Seeing that the other party turned around and tried to escape, he took a step forward, grabbed the person in his arms with his iron arm, and closed the door with a "bang".

"Zhiwei..." His voice was hoarse and his arms were like an iron hoop, tightly wrapping around the person.

The sudden stiffness of the person in his arms made his heart tremble!

No! After such a long separation, this shouldn't be her reaction...

But this is a matter of life and death, so this play must go on...

"Zhiwei, I finally see you!" He tightened his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Why have you lost so much weight? It's my fault. I came back late and made you worry..."

The hot and humid breath sprayed on the neck of the person who came, which in turn caused him to struggle more fiercely.

Huo Tianling's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she already knew his identity as the son-in-law of the Yan State?

"..." He pressed his lips even closer to her ear, "Zhiwei... I really, really miss you! You appear in my dreams every time!"

"Huo Tianheng poisoned me. If no one had rescued me, I would have..." As his Adam's apple rolled, a tear ran down his face.

"During the years when I lost my memory, I always felt like a piece of my heart was missing... When I remembered everything, I was awakened every night by the sight of you in your wedding dress."

"Zhiwei, there are some things I'm afraid to tell you, but I can't lie to you..." Huo Tianling's voice was choked with sobs...

"When I was stranded in Yan State, I was saved by the Princess of Yan State and had no choice but to marry her... But you are the only one in my heart!"

"In order to come back and find you, I played along with her, pretending to be in love. Only then did I find the opportunity to return to Daliang..."

Huo Tianling's eyes were red as he spoke, and his hands began to move uncontrollably. "Zhiwei, please don't reject me... We should have been husband and wife a long time ago!"

"I heard that you have a child?" The person in his arms asked in a muffled voice, unable to struggle.

Huo Tianling was stunned and ecstatic!

His bet was right! Yun Zhiwei really loved him to the core, and she knew a lot about him...

He said anxiously, "Zhiwei, believe me, I was set up by Princess Yan! I never wanted that child!"

"I am from Liang, and I only want the child you gave birth to!!"

Huo Tianling was still explaining hurriedly, but he didn't know that outside the wooden house, Princess Qingyuan had already burst into tears, and her nails had dug deeply into her palms.

She tracked Huo Tianling all the way here, and every word she heard cut into her heart like a knife.

She felt like a huge joke!

“Zheng——”

A flash of cold light flashed, and she suddenly drew out the sword from her waist.

The guard understood and immediately kicked the wooden door hard.

The moment the door collapsed, the person in Huo Tianling's arms suddenly broke free.

The man's hood fell off, and in the moonlight he saw an old and unfamiliar face! ! ? ?

How could she be an old woman?!

Huo Tianling's pupils shrank suddenly, "Where is Zhi, Zhiwei? How could she..."

She has taken care of the Huo family for so many years... She has never married for him... How could she...

Under Huo Tianling's shocked gaze, Nanny Cen quickly rushed out and ran towards the eldest princess who was walking towards them.

"The princess guessed correctly," the old nanny stood beside Yun Zhiwei, shaking with anger, "The third master of the Huo family really has bad intentions!"

She glanced at the collar of her clothes that was stained by the medicine powder, and the cloak that had been touched by Huo Tianling... She gritted her teeth in pain!

This is her new dress! It's so dirty... I can't keep it at all!

On the roof, little Tang Bao looked at Huo Tianling in the wooden house, and then at his aunt not far away, thinking that his aunt was really smart... Tang Bao didn't need to worry about anything!

Princess Qingyuan saw that Huo Tianling had been treating her as nothing, and her hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

She saw that he had no intention of explaining to her at all... She watched his expression change from shock to panic, and finally he even stared blankly out the door...

All the love in his heart for Huo Tianling instantly turned into overwhelming hatred and anger.

Princess Qingyuan felt a sharp pain in her heart...

"ah--!!"

She bent over, clutching her chest and screaming hysterically...

"You never wanted Chi'er, so you weren't sad or upset when you learned he was dead. You just wanted to kill me to silence me and move on to someone else, right?!"

"Huo Tianling! You are not human!!"

"You're worse than an animal--!!"

The guards who escaped from the underground city told her that Chi'er was dead and that the prince consort was planning to kill her... She didn't believe it at first... but unexpectedly, it was true!

This cold-blooded, selfish, and shameless man... He had never loved her! He had never loved their son!

Her face was ferocious, and her voice was hoarse like a demon: "Huo Tianling!? When did you lose your memory?!"

"It was you who was afraid of death after being captured. It was you who seduced me. It was you who offered to stay in Yan State and marry me!"

"In order to please my father, you even offered to return to Daliang to steal intelligence..."

"You abandoned me and my son and left for years! You pretended to be unmarried and deliberately approached Princess Daliang!"

"I've never ruined anyone's feelings! No--!!"

Seeing that the crazy woman's words were getting more and more outrageous, Huo Tianling wanted to kill her immediately, but she was held at knifepoint by her guards and could not move at all.

He couldn't stand by and watch Baili Qingyuan go crazy anymore, so he had to pretend to be weak and looked at Yun Zhiwei for help: "She is trying to sow discord! Zhiwei, believe me! That Baili Chi is not my son! He is the bastard she had with someone else!!"

???

"Huo Tianling! I'll kill you!!"

Princess Qingyuan cried and raised her knife to chop Huo Tianling.

Huo Tianling found the right opportunity, snatched Princess Qingyuan's sword, and immediately fought with her guards.

Yun Zhiwei looked at the strange yet familiar figure, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes, but when she raised her head slightly, her eyes suddenly softened...

"The little princess of Prince Qing's family is on the beam. Go and bring her to me!"

She had something to ask this little girl, she had to interrogate her...

"Princess," a guard stepped forward, glancing into the cabin from the corner of his eye, "do you need us to come in?"

"Not for now, just don't let them get away!"

Before Huo Tianling's empty coffin was dug out, she did have feelings for him.

But now... the person in front of me is no longer the young man he used to be!
