"You've finally found out."
"I saved him entirely because of his mother."
The pharmacist let out a long breath and, with eyes that could not see anything, gazed at the distant night sky outside the window.
“That’s right, his mother, Jialuolou, was once my lover.”
"She met me after she was murdered by the emperor."
"You said she's dead? Then how could I possibly run into you?"
Xie Ling stared at him expressionlessly, coldly pointing out the flaws in his words.
“Young friend Xie Ling, you don’t understand. When I say death, I don’t mean death in the true sense of the word.”
Xu Junliang gave a bitter smile, "Instead, she completely abandoned her past identity and came to my side."
"At that time, she was no longer Jialuo Lou,"
"But it is my follower, the ghost."
“Ah… Piao?” Mi Shan twitched the corner of her mouth. “You’d better be serious. Who would give themselves a name like that?”
"Let me explain slowly. The reason she's called A-Piao is because she likes to wear white clothes and always looks like an ethereal fairy."
"Moreover, she said that her name didn't matter to her; she had left that cannibalistic place, left behind the men and sisters who had betrayed her,"
She felt like a lifeless, lost soul, and nothing could stir her emotions.
Therefore, the name "Ah Piao" is the one I feel best suits her temperament at the moment.
And so, I've always called her that.
They've been calling it that for years.
Until she left me.
"Why did she leave you?" Mi Shan held her breath, her eyes gleaming. "Is it because she met Mi Xiuyan! She's my mother, isn't she?"
"That's right, it seems you guessed everything."
Shan'er, you have always been so intelligent since you were little.
Speaking of which, you and Li Xuanche are half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers.
Mi Shan's heart was pounding, but she calmed down very quickly.
Xie Ling, standing to the side, had already furrowed her brows.
These were things he had never known before.
So, he almost killed Mi Shan's brother today.
“Li Xuanche is really in the way. If it weren’t for this connection, I originally planned to find him tonight and take action immediately.”
Now……
Xie Ling paused, looking coldly at Mi Shan.
"Considering that we still have some relationship, I'll leave this life to be disposed of."
Mi Shan: "Thank you. However, Uncle Liang, I'd like to know, you just said that my mother is your lover, so why did you send her to Mi Xiuyan's side?"
"Let her give birth to Mi Xiuyan's child?"
"Don't even mention it! This matter is the shame of my life! It will forever be a pain in my heart!"
Xu Junliang clutched his chest, overcome with grief.
"Back then, I didn't understand my own feelings."
I signed a confidentiality agreement with Mi Xiuyan regarding her going to Mi Xiuyan's side, so I can't tell him.
To this end, I even ingested a Promise Gu. If I were to utter it aloud, I would suffer a backlash, vomiting blood and dying.
"I'm sorry, Shan'er, if you want to know, you'll have to ask your father, Mi Xiuyan, and let him tell you the truth himself."
Mi Shan paused, realizing that Mi Xiuyan had indeed been hiding something from her last time.
He wasn't telling the truth.
This secret must be very important.
It involves a pharmacist, his mother, and he also needs to consume a secret Gu worm.
She was determined to uncover the truth!
at the moment,
The biggest problem is how to deal with the eldest prince.
"Don't worry, not just anyone can find the entrance to the Ghost Market."
I will keep an eye on him during this period.
I will talk to him once his injury has improved.
When you have time, you can come and pick him up.
Xu Junliang finished speaking.
Mi Shan nodded: "Then let's leave it at that. Your Highness, let's go back."
Back to the palace.
With Xie Ling's help, Mi Shan flew up to the sky above the Jade Hibiscus Palace.
But then, a bright yellow sedan chair was parked at the entrance.
Mi Shan was startled.
Li Shengyuan?
Didn't the emperor go to the empress's palace?
Realizing something was wrong, Xie Ling found a secluded spot and put her down.
Mi Shan told him to go ahead and to be careful.
She'll handle the rest.
Mi Shan limped as she walked step by step toward the palace gate.
The guards at the gate saw her and quickly led her inside.
The lights were on full display.
Xiaomingzi and Xun'er knelt on the ground.
Seated on the throne is a majestic emperor.
Li Shengyuan sat upright, watching Mi Shan walk in.
A dark look appeared in his eyes.
"Consort Mi Hui, where have you been?"
"Why aren't you staying in your palace this late? Your leg is injured, why are you wandering around?"
"The funniest thing is that you lackeys don't even know where you are."
"Don't you think they're pretty useless?"
Li Shengyuan sneered.
"Should I order them all executed?"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Mi Shan was startled, and immediately knelt down.
"I just couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk by myself. Because my legs hurt, I could only walk a few steps before I had to stop and rest. It was only when my legs hurt so much that I managed to walk back with difficulty."
"Because I wanted to be alone, I didn't tell any of the servants."
"But they didn't even notice when you left. Are you sure you're telling the truth?" the emperor said.
Mi Shan pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent: "The guards are tired and sometimes they doze off. It was I who deliberately did not disturb them."
"Your Majesty, what exactly do you suspect?"
