"Brother, please stop asking, okay? I don't want to talk about it." An Yunyi slowly lowered her head. No matter what, she would never betray that person. Even if she died, she would never reveal a single word.
"I'll ask you one more time, what is that person's identity? What is his purpose?" An Honghan stroked Xi Xizhi's fur with his fingers, coldly staring at An Yunyi sitting on the ground.
An Yunyi shook her head painfully, "Don't ask me, I don't know, I really don't know anything."
An Yunyi's out-of-control shouts echoed throughout the cell.
Startled, Xi Xizhi quickly covered her ears with her two furry paws.
Sometimes, the voices of eunuchs and women are remarkably similar, both driving people to the brink of madness.
“Brother, he is a good man. He is the only one who is willing to lend me a helping hand.” At that time, she was ostracized by everyone, and the only person who did not despise her was that man. This feeling had long been rooted in her heart, and no one could replace him.
"So you've fallen for him? You've fallen in love with him? You're willing to betray your imperial brother?" An Honghan continued to sneer, each word leaving An Yunyi nowhere to hide.
An Yunyi was taken aback by these words. After thinking for a while, she bit her lip and did not deny it. She nodded, "That's right, Yi'er likes him. Although Yi'er knows that he helped me only to use me, but brother, Yi'er is not hiding it from you. I really have never seen his true face."
That person was a ray of light in her dark life. Although he always appeared in a black robe and wore a mask, it did not stop An Yunyi from developing feelings of love for him.
He pulled me back from the brink of hell, allowing me to live again in a world full of sunshine.
An Yunyi will not forget this fact.
Although her brother was also important, An Yunyi was unwilling to betray the man who had pulled her out of the abyss.
"So, what use are you to me?" An Honghan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Xi Xizhi slightly raised her eyes and looked up at An Honghan.
"Brother, don't you care about our sibling relationship at all? I am your sister." An Yunyi kept wiping away her tears, her face streaked with tears.
An Honghan didn't speak, or rather, from beginning to end, this man had no concept of family affection.
He kept the princess in the palace for one reason only: he needed a pawn.
Slowly approaching An Yunyi, An Honghan held Xi Xizhi in one arm while swiftly reaching for An Yunyi with the other.
With lightning speed, his hand was already at An Yunyi's neck in the blink of an eye.
Just as An Honghan was about to snap her neck, a strong gust of wind blew, deflecting An Honghan's outstretched hand.
An Honghan immediately turned around and looked around warily.
Xi Xizhi also instantly propped herself up from An Honghan's embrace, exuding a demonic aura!
A thick black fog filled the entire cell. Xi Xizhi sniffed and caught a familiar scent.
It's that half-demon from last time...
This time, the demonic aura was noticeably stronger than the last time.
With two sharp cracks, the iron chain snapped.
An Honghan and Xi Xizhi seemed to sense something and both looked towards where An Yunyi had originally been.
The iron chains were scattered haphazardly on the ground, and An Yunyi had vanished without a trace.
"I'll take this person with me now, Your Majesty. Don't forget our bet." A burst of laughter came from within the black mist.
Xi Xizhi watched the black mist slowly disappear in a fit of rage, baring her teeth and shouting incoherently.
Unexpectedly, the person hiding behind An Yunyi was this half-demon. The thought that Old Man Xu was still in his hands made Xi Xizhi want to rush up and fight him to the death, and make him return Old Man Xu.
Compared to Xi Xizhi's irritable demeanor, An Honghan was unusually calm.
"What exactly is he planning?" An Honghan stroked the Phoenix Cloud Sable's fur with his fingers, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stared blankly at the spot where the half-demon had disappeared.
Anyone who can freely enter and leave the royal palace of Fengze Kingdom is definitely not simple.
Judging from the half-demon's actions, it didn't seem like he was deliberately targeting him. However, what he did was indeed blocking his path.
"Chirp chirp..."
what to do?
The cell was empty and quiet.
An Honghan had fought the half-demon at the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff before. The opponent's speed far exceeded his and Feng Zhenren's, and perhaps even his strength was unfathomable.
His demonic aura was even stronger than before.
The moment Xi Xizhi saw him, she noticed that the demonic aura surrounding him was almost saturated.
This is definitely not a good thing. If the half-demon continues to devour the inner cores of other demons, then probably no one in the world will be able to stand against him.
"There's no point in thinking about it too much; the one-month deadline is almost here." If he hadn't seen the half-demon today, An Honghan would have almost forgotten about their bet.
Although the bet was only unilaterally acknowledged by the half-demon, An Honghan could not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
Putting aside the fact that the Imperial Preceptor Xu is still in his hands, just letting the half-demon run rampant like this will inevitably lead to disaster sooner or later.
After emerging from the dungeon, An Honghan remained preoccupied with worries.
Xi Xizhi didn't dare to disturb him, and quietly nestled in his arms without making a sound.
Soon, everyone discovered that Miss Xi, who had always been by His Majesty's side, had disappeared, while Feng Yun Diao, whom His Majesty had previously favored, had returned.
Many people couldn't help but speculate that perhaps His Majesty had grown tired of Miss Xi, which was why he had brought back Feng Yun Diao to replace her.
Some people say that Miss Xi has probably been secretly executed by His Majesty, because she caused trouble everywhere and even seduced Prince Duan.
No man can tolerate something that belongs to him betraying him.
In short, within just one day, rumors had spread like wildfire throughout the palace, but no one truly knew the truth; it was all just speculation.
On this day, many ministers flocked to the imperial study to advise His Majesty that the matter of Prince Duan's marriage alliance could not be delayed any longer.
Lynn noticed that His Majesty was in a bad mood and said, "Your Majesty, should I send them all away?"
In the past, when His Majesty was in a bad mood, he would not see any ministers. Lin En knew His Majesty's habit well, so he immediately observed and asked.
An Honghan had just finished reviewing a memorial when he slightly raised his head. His mind raced, and he said with a deep gaze, "Let them all come in. This matter really can't be delayed any longer."
Having already made up his mind, once he had resolved the matter of Duan Yufei's marriage alliance, he would immediately follow the clues left by Master Feng to search for the whereabouts of the White Fox and the National Preceptor Xu.
This matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer.
He needed to know the half-demon's purpose and why he had infiltrated the Fengze Kingdom's palace to disrupt his harem.
