But even so, she still couldn't do it.
The Queen Mother and Long Xunyi treated her like their own mother and brother. If she abandoned them for the sake of her own love, then the love they had for her would become pitiful.
"Do as he says! I am already old and don't care about life or death." At this time, the Queen Mother spoke lightly.
Hearing this, tears welled up in An Tingyu's beautiful eyes. Even at this moment, the Queen Mother was still thinking about her. How could she have done that? And why would the Queen Mother sacrifice her own life for her?
Why is this?
An Tingyu had never wanted to know the reason as much as she did now, because she really didn't understand. She was nothing to the empress dowager, but what the empress dowager did for her was far beyond her expectations.
"It doesn't matter to me!" Long Xunyi also said.
When the two of them said this, Concubine Feng was almost furious. "Mother, Your Majesty, are you crazy? I know you have always doted on her, but now her life is at stake. She wants to kill you, and you... why are you still so unmoved?"
At this time, the Queen Mother and Long Xunyi could still say these words. She really didn't know whether they were crazy or she was crazy, otherwise how could she hear such words!
"We owe her this. Today, no matter if it's me or my mother, we die at her hands, we will have no complaints, mother, right?" When he said the last sentence, Long Xunyi turned around and looked at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother gave him a cold look but did not refute his words.
"What do you owe her? Why is one like this, and then two of you? How can you be so selfish? Have you ever thought about what will become of the Dragon Flame Country after you die?"
Concubine Feng still couldn't understand. Even if they owed a debt, what kind of debt could make them feel that even their lives didn't matter?
Is such a debt really just a debt?
"Let me, an old man, answer this question!" An old voice suddenly appeared.
Hearing this, An Tingyu was stunned, "Grandpa? Why are you here? It's too dangerous here. Dangyan, quickly send the old man back home."
Dang Yan cupped his hands. He had always obeyed An Tingyu and always cared about Mr. An, but he actually said, "Miss, I'm sorry, Dang Yan can't."
"What did you say?" An Tingyu was stunned again, "Dang Yan, do you know what you are saying?"
Old Master An was Dang Yan's first master, and he also raised Dang Yan. But at this dangerous moment, Dang Yan actually ignored her orders?
What is he thinking?
"I..." Dang Yan opened his mouth, but finally closed it slowly.
"Alright, girl, don't embarrass him. He can't deny Grandpa's orders. Grandpa isn't here today as an elder, but as the eighteenth generation of the Netherworld Palace's Venerable, to resolve this problem."
"Eighteenth generation?"
"How is that possible?"
The people on the side were stunned.
"Grandpa, you..." An Tingyu wanted to say something, but for some reason, she couldn't say it when the words came to her lips.
In the past, she always thought that Mr. An was very mysterious. He was obviously just an ordinary old man with no official position and just an ordinary old man at home, but there were always some things about him that made people care.
Just like Dang Yan, like Dark Fox, like his guards who secretly protected him, and...
"I see. I used to think that with Grandpa's ordinary status, he was at most the emperor's teacher. But when they framed me for collaborating with the enemy, and there was also the matter of the imperial property from the previous dynasty, why did the enemy choose you? In addition, Fu Mo and Grandpa both said similar things to let me be wary of you. It seems that Grandpa and Fu Mo know more about you than I do!"
"You understand too, right?" An Tingyu suddenly changed the subject and looked at Long Feikuang.
Long Feikuang shrugged lazily, "I don't really know, I just suspect it, because I have a traitor from the Nether Palace under my command, and I got the Five Steps from him. Of course, I also guessed about Mr. An's affairs from his description."
It was precisely because of suspicion that the rumor that the eighteenth generation was still alive was spread to slander An Tingyu. This was done to see Mr. An's reaction, but the old man was so patient that he did not come forward to clarify for An Tingyu when his grandson was blamed.
At this time, Old Master An said again: "Girl, I'm sorry. Grandpa has been hiding this from you, but it is also unavoidable. The reason why the Nether Palace has a long history is that it has exchanged for countless substitutes. Even the substitutes have to be hidden, so that others will think that he is the real Lord. Just like Jing Aotian, he is the nineteenth substitute chosen by Grandpa, the real nineteenth generation. Grandpa originally intended to let Dang Yan inherit, but because of some things, the position of the nineteenth generation changed as early as when you pacified this world. Grandpa has also sent a message to the four hall masters. You will be the true heir of the nineteenth generation."
"Does Aotian know about this?" An Tingyu never thought that Jing Aotian was just a substitute.
She had always thought that Jing Aotian was the nineteenth generation of the Netherworld, but now she discovered that the real Netherworld Palace was far more powerful than she had imagined, and even a substitute Lord was as powerful as the real Lord.
Old Master An shook his head. "I don't know. We strictly screen each generation of Stands. This person must not only be capable, but also have a kind heart. Because he is not just a Stand. Under normal circumstances, when it does not harm the heavens and the law, the Stand Master has the final say, so he is no different from the real Master. But if he does something that goes against the principles of the Netherworld Palace, he will be stripped of everything and his fate will be death."
