"Is that so?" Seeing He Jinran siding with outsiders, He Lin was somewhat displeased. He swiftly drew his Zhan Yue sword and pressed it against He Xuan's neck, causing He Jinran...
I feel nervous.
"Father, swords and blades are merciless."
He Lin: "He Xuan, why did you do this? Do you know how much I've missed her all these years? And you, you've secretly hidden her away."
"Take me to see Yu'er. I want to see her today!"
"Ahem..." He Xuan coughed lightly twice and closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, my brother's life has always been in your hands. Take it!"
Facing He Lin, He Xuan felt an overwhelming and intense hatred in his heart.
He Lin deserves to live in torment.
"I will grant your wish!" He Lin gritted his teeth in hatred, and pushed the sword forward again.
"Father!" He Jinran called out urgently, quickly approaching and standing in front of He Xuan.
"Father, let's talk this out. Why get so angry?"
"I already gave him a chance, but he didn't take it!" He Lin said angrily.
Suddenly, a cold, sharp throwing knife flew towards him.
The speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't dodge it in time.
Upon closer inspection, Zhan Yue had already appeared, blocking the flying knife for He Lin.
"Assassins! Your Majesty, be careful!" As soon as Zhan Yue finished speaking, she had already rushed after the assassins.
He Xuan looked worried, but at the same time, he no longer held on to his beliefs.
He Jinran was surprised for a moment, but had already helped He Xuan back onto the four-wheeled vehicle.
He Xuan lowered his eyes, his expression returning to its usual calm.
What's meant to come will come.
"He Xuan, you've got some nerve, actually thinking of rebelling!" He Lin frowned, suddenly looking at a dark shadow on the artificial hill by the lake.
"Shu'er!"
He instinctively cried out.
The next moment,
He Lin fixed his gaze on the spot and, without thinking, chased after them...
He Xuan let him go, and continued to sit in the pavilion, gazing into the distance at the figure that had long since disappeared.
Chu Wei looked worried, but didn't know how to comfort him, so he remained silent.
In contrast, He Jinran,
He originally wanted to chase after them, but he paused and sat down in the seat his father had previously occupied.
"Third Imperial Uncle, drinking tea is so boring, I want to drink wine."
"Chu Wei, bring the wine." He Xuan, following He Jinran's instructions, ordered Chu Wei to remove the original tea and replace it with strong liquor.
On the other hand, as He Lin and Zhan Yue ran closer together,
The shadows flickered in the distance.
Zhan Yue moved with the agility of the wind, grabbing onto An Ying's shoulder.
"stop!"
The shadowy figure turned around, leaving Zhan Yue stunned and He Lin's heart pounding with excitement.
It was during this moment of stunned silence that Zhan Yue...
Li Sisi struck out with a palm strike without hesitation.
Zhan Yue was in pain.
In the blink of an eye, Li Sisi turned and left.
As for why she always thinks about running away?
Of course, it was because Aunt Su had said that while she was at the Prince Yi's residence, she should not appear in the sight of outsiders.
As a result, she has lived in the shadows for so many years.
Although she didn't know why,
I also asked my godfather about this matter.
But his godfather refused to reveal a single word.
"The princess is so cunning... no, so sly," Zhan Yue complained.
Upon closer inspection, His Majesty had already vanished along with Li Sisi.
Li Sisi glared angrily at Zhui Ying behind her, her expression clearly hostile.
Who exactly is this person, and what deep-seated hatred does he have for her godfather?
He Lin was about to catch up.
She sprinkled a packet of chili powder on it.
He Lin... suddenly closed his eyes, his eyes brimming with tears.
Upon closer inspection, Li Sisi had already vanished.
"Yu'er, don't run away!"
Li Sisi glanced back secretly again, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Hmph, how dare you bully my godfather! I'll never forgive you!"
When she can use her hands, Li Sisi will never use her words.
...The pavilion in the Prince Yi's mansion.
"Third Imperial Uncle, I want to take my sister back to Lingnan Village," He Jinran said, revealing his thoughts. "Mother must miss my sister very much too."
He knew that his sister had already been revealed to their father, so this time, his third uncle would not hide it.
He Xuan chuckled, as if nothing had happened.
"Jin'er, you are very smart."
He also really wanted to see Shu'er.
"But how can you be sure that the person just now was definitely your sister? Perhaps she was an assassin."
"No, she wasn't an assassin." He Jinran always remembered the pink figure he had vaguely seen while he was in the Prince Yi's mansion.
"Why are you so sure? It must be me who hid your sister's whereabouts?" He Xuan still couldn't figure out where things went wrong.
"Intuition." When the strong liquor was served, He Jinran took a big gulp and choked, coughing violently.
"Third Imperial Uncle, I investigated the matter of you pursuing Mother more than ten years ago. Only you were genuinely kind to her. Everyone else, including Father, had ulterior motives. Therefore, I believe that the person Mother protected until her death was you!"
He Xuan suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He took a sip of strong liquor, but found it tasteless.
"I want to save her from her suffering and keep her away from imperial power, but my abilities are limited. And her heart is not with me."
He Xuan missed the woman who haunted his dreams and whom he could never forget.
However, they are now separated by death.
Memories flooded his mind, but He Xuan kept his head down, swallowing back all the words he wanted to say.
He Jinran quietly stayed with He Xuan, pouring him another glass of strong liquor.
"Third Imperial Uncle, don't be obsessed with the past."
He didn't know why, but from the moment he first saw the Third Imperial Uncle, he felt pity for him.
Especially when you look at his eyes, which are often calm yet tinged with melancholy.
Suddenly, he looked into the distance.
I know you're lurking in the shadows!
He Xuan... this kid is quite skilled.
“Come out, he’s not an outsider.”
As He Xuan finished speaking, Li Sisi, dressed in a blue-black outfit, appeared in front of He Jinran.
“Godfather.” Li Sisi said coldly, finding He Jinran irritating from the moment she saw him.
"Who was that man? Why did he treat you like that?!"
Of course, the person she was referring to was He Lin.
Previously, because He Jinran had kidnapped her, she had asked her godfather about it.
However, they didn't get any answers.
He Jinran looked at the girl who was getting closer and closer in the distance, and a sense of intimacy welled up in him.
“Sister, I once asked you, was your adoptive father the Wing King? What did you say?”
He Xuan: So, they had met before.
Li Sisi tilted her head: "Why should I tell you? And who is your sister?"
Aunt Su taught her that she should not show herself in public casually, and even more so, she should not reveal her relationship with her godfather, otherwise, it would bring disaster upon her godfather.
The current situation made Li Sisi feel somewhat uneasy.
At this moment, she realized that her unease stemmed from the young boy in front of her.
Although she was still confused.
It's all because of you!
"Yu'er!" came an urgent cry.
It was He Lin, who had just gone out to chase after someone and was tricked by Li Sisi's illusion, who had returned.
He Lin arrived again, his eyes bloodshot from the chili powder, yet he still stared at the girl before him, rushing closer...
