Chapter 125 Life and Death Are All Like This
"Do you know about my mother?" At some point, the hand that was pulling my sleeve dropped down weakly and landed on the side of the bed.
"I know." Xihe knew about this matter from the beginning, but after analyzing it several times, she really didn't think it had anything to do with Emperor Jingyuan. "Xiao Mingxuan, it was your father's favorite concubine who killed your mother, and it was Emperor Beili who forced your mother's family into a desperate situation. And yet you blame all of this on your father. What's the logic behind this?"
"What do you know!" Xiao Mingxuan's eyes narrowed, bloodshot, and his expression was horrified. "If Emperor Jingyuan hadn't pressured my father to obtain a hostage, how could that bitch have attacked my mother for her own son! How could my mother's family be convicted for this!"
Xihe finally turned around and looked at Xiao Mingxuan, who was on the verge of madness. There was no trace of friendship in his words. He said calmly: "Do you really blame Daddy? If what you said is true, shouldn't you be the culprit?"
Nangong Yan was shocked, "Princess, you can't say any more!"
Xihe turned a deaf ear to him. She slowly took two steps forward and squatted beside Xiao Mingxuan as she had when they were little. She looked him straight in the eye, "Daddy did want a hostage, but he didn't mention you by name or force you to come. If you really count it, your mother was plotted against by the favorite concubine because she had you, and your mother's family was punished to protect you. If we want to get to the bottom of it, shouldn't it be you?"
These words were so cruel that they instantly shattered the reasons Xiao Mingxuan had held on to for many years.
The battlefield is full of dangers, and the imperial city is filled with swords and sabers, but none of them can compare to the heartbreaking scene at this moment.
It turns out that words can kill people invisibly, cutting through people's flesh and blood one by one. It may not kill them, but it will cause them to fall into endless torture.
"It's not me!" Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were red, as if he was crazy, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Even if it weren't for me! They would definitely take action to get rid of the queen mother and uncles, otherwise they would not be able to sleep or eat!" The current Emperor Beili is the most useless one among the many princes of the previous emperor. Because he married Xiao Mingxuan's mother, he got the help of her mother's family and survived the battle for the throne to inherit the throne. But this emperor himself is a softie. After he ascended the throne, he didn't want people to mention the past, so he blindly suppressed the queen and her mother's family.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mingxuan was suddenly stunned. When he looked up and met Xihe's half-smile, he suddenly became speechless.
"Look, you know that yourself, don't you?"
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly.
As long as Emperor Beili was suspicious, the Empress and her mother's family could not live in peace.
The hostage incident was just a fuse that ignited Emperor Beili's cruelty and desire.
Xiao Mingxuan lost his mother at a young age, and he hated everyone involved in this matter, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
"Xihe, but you must also admit that it was your father's request for a hostage at that critical juncture that indirectly caused all of this." Xiao Mingxuan's madness only lasted for a few breaths before returning to normal. He smiled silently, lamenting that the little girl was getting more and more powerful. He had inadvertently been provoked and almost lost himself in the trap. "If your father is the executioner, then your father is the one who handed him the knife."
Xihe was silent for a moment.
Xiao Mingxuan smiled knowingly and leaned against the beam behind him. "My little girl is getting more and more powerful. She even knows how to set traps. Unfortunately, this is something I have been thinking about for more than ten years. I can't forget it. You can't save me."
Xihe suddenly laughed out loud, as if she had finally let go of a burden, but if you looked closely, you would find the helplessness hidden in her eyes, "So... I'm not going to persuade you anymore. I'm defeated, I admit it."
It's enough to be despicable once, if she does it more than once... she's no longer herself.
save?
It is salvation indeed.
Xihe looked down from a high building for tens of millions of years, and seeing all living beings as grass and trees, he felt pity, so at the last moment that year he jumped down from the high platform and saved the devastated people.
She is kind-hearted and saves all people.
When you see the injured, comfort them; when you see the lost, guide them back home.
But she forgot that not everyone in this world is willing to take the path she has chosen.
But does this mean the other way is wrong?
Not necessarily.
There is no right or wrong path, it just varies from person to person.
The sun was setting outside, and it turned out that she had been there for so long.
Xihe felt that it was a bit hard to breathe here, and she wanted to go out for a walk. "Xiao Mingxuan, please leave as soon as you recover from your injuries. I will go find my aunt, so don't worry about me."
With their beliefs at odds, they eventually reached the end.
The room returned to silence, but no one spoke again.
Nangong Yan sighed and glanced at Xiao Mingxuan, who had a gloomy expression, and felt even more annoyed.
"I told you to break up a long time ago, but you insisted on coming close to me, and ended up in this situation."
Nangong Yan could see that Xihe was no longer the silly little princess she used to be, and he also knew that what the other party had just said was not alarmist.
She really wanted to break up with Xiao Mingxuan.
"Nangong." Xiao Mingxuan said after a long silence, "I can't control her anymore."
Whether in the nine years in Huguo Temple or the year after returning to Beili, he had never had such a feeling, but just now, Xiao Mingxuan clearly felt the changes in Xihe, which was a terrible vortex.
Nangong didn't respond to this, but instead brought up another matter, "Listen to me, forget about that plan, you'll push her further away."
Xihe was determined to draw a line between herself and Xiao Mingxuan. If that incident happened again, the two of them would really be at loggerheads for the rest of their lives.
"No."
"You!" Nangong Yan was almost pissed off and said bitterly, "Why? You could have kidnapped her in the dark and given her some medicine. Then she would have forgotten her past and her heart would be filled with thoughts of you. What else could you not be satisfied with that made you do that?"
Xiao Mingxuan slowly raised his head, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it. His throat finally felt less sore. "There are too many people behind her. As long as those people exist, they will risk their lives to take Xihe back. I can't keep this hidden danger."
Emperor Jingyuan, Consort Chen, the Xu family, Zhao Chengning, Zhao Jinyuan...
Invisibly, the entire Tianshuo Imperial City became Xihe's indestructible backing.
"You... want to leave the little princess completely isolated and helpless?" The folding fan in Nangong Yan's hand stopped at some point, and he looked at Xiao Mingxuan in disbelief.
Xiao Mingxuan admitted generously, "Yes, I want her to rely on me from now on, in life and death."
Nangong Yan's mouth twitched violently. Time had passed, and he could hardly remember what Xiao Mingxuan looked like before. He only vaguely remembered that she was not like this. "I remember you were not like this back then. You loved her and couldn't bear to see her sad. You gave in again and again, acquiescing to Zhao Jinyuan being rescued and even taking Liu Yuan back."
On the first day of the new year, the second prince Zhao Jinyuan was rescued after being attacked. Everyone thought it was the effect of the iron block, but in fact it was the person planted by Xiao Mingxuan who risked his life to push Zhao Jinyuan, causing the cold arrow to hit the piece of black iron on Zhao Jinyuan's heart.
