Leng Xi, however, had already started counting unwillingly.
"one……"
"Lan'er, hurry up and take out the imperial seal. It's better not to take the throne."
"But...but this is Daning's business, not just yours. If you hand over the imperial seal, it's the same as handing over the throne to him. What will happen to the people of Daning then?"
"I can't care about so much, save An An first, hurry up and give him the jade seal."
"two……"
Leng Xi's voice was unusually cold. Luo Lan took the jade seal out of his arms, bit his lips tightly, and walked towards Leng Xi.
Leng Xi had a smug smile on his face. He looked at the jade seal greedily, as if he saw himself ascending the throne.
An An suddenly screamed,
"Mom, don't come over here. If you take another step forward, I'll die in front of you."
An An's words made Luo Lan stop. The sword was right next to her neck. She didn't dare to take the risk. She was afraid that An An would really do something stupid.
"An An, no, your father may not want the throne, but you are the one that Dad and Mom cannot live without."
"Mother, if the people of Daning Kingdom are left with no peace because of me, then I would rather die. Mother, you and father must kill Leng Xi for me. I will go first. In my next life, I will still be your daughter..."
After saying this, An An's eyes showed despair. She bit her lip and prepared to pounce on the sword.
"Lengxi, she is your daughter..."
Luo Lan blurted out words that stunned everyone present. An An, who was just about to die, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at her, and asked in horror:
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Leng Xi also looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Princess Yu, if you're afraid I'll hurt her, you can just beg for mercy. There's no need to make up such an excuse. If you say that, where does that put Prince Yu? Hahaha..."
Leng Xi's arrogant laughter made Leng Yu's face turn ashen in an instant.
He looked at Luo Lan, with countless questions in his eyes, but he didn't ask them.
He waited quietly, waiting for her explanation.
Luo Lan bit her lips tightly, recalling with tears in her eyes,
"Long Xiaomin, do you still remember?"
When this name appeared at this moment, Leng Xi's heart trembled and his hands shook.
He gritted his teeth and asked sternly:
"You are not allowed to mention her name."
Long Xiaomin's name, like a nightmare, caused Leng Xi's emotions to collapse instantly.
Yu Qiaoqiao, who was standing aside holding Xiaobao, had no expression of surprise or joy on her face, but her heart was already surging.
She had heard of the name Long Xiaomin and knew the story about her and Leng Xi, but she had never asked Leng Xi about it. She knew that if she mentioned it, Leng Xi would be furious.
Luo Lan looked at Leng Xi and said word by word, gritting his teeth:
"An An was born to Long Xiaomin."
These words hit Leng Xi's heart like a bolt from the blue, and also made An An, who was held tightly by him, look stunned.
She looked at Luo Lan and shook her head vigorously.
"Mom, please don't tell such a lie to save me. I'm not afraid of death. Death is not scary, Mom..."
A deep look flashed in Leng Xi's eyes.
Luo Lan took a few steps forward with difficulty. Every step he took felt like a thousand pounds weighed on his legs.
She looked at An An with a sense of loss, and said reluctantly:
"An'an, I didn't lie to you. You are not my biological daughter. Back then, your mother gave you to me after giving birth to you and asked me to keep this secret for her for the rest of her life. I didn't want to lie to you. If it weren't for this occasion today, I would never tell you even if you killed me. An'an, I'm sorry!"
There was a look of numbness and despair in An An's eyes. She shook her head and bit her lips tightly.
Leng Xi still didn't react, but the sword in his hand had loosened.
He looked at An An's face that looked very much like Long Xiaomin, and suddenly muttered to himself as if he had thought of something.
"No wonder, no wonder I always feel that she gives me a very familiar feeling."
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Luo Lan and asked loudly,
"If this is true, why did you raise my daughter for so many years without telling me? What are your intentions?"
Luo Lan felt as if her heart was being grabbed by something. She looked at An An, who was squatting on the ground in despair, and said distressedly:
"When Long Xiaomin handed her over to me, she told me not to tell this secret to anyone else, especially you. I thought I could keep this secret forever, but today, I have to tell it. I can't watch you two kill each other!"
Her words were like a needle piercing Leng Xi's heart. He looked at An An and suddenly threw away the sword in his hand. He wanted to hug his and Long Xiaomin's daughter, but was stopped by An An.
"Don't come over here, this isn't true. My mother must be lying to you. This isn't true."
As she spoke, she suddenly picked up the long sword that Leng Xi had just thrown away and pointed it at Leng Xi again.
This time, Leng Xi did not dodge. He looked at An An and suddenly thought of the scene where Long Xiaomin died in his arms.
He closed his eyes in fear and said, "Kill me and avenge your mother."
An An still shook his head frantically,
"No, my biological mother Liu Luolan is standing in front of me, my biological father is Leng Yu, my mother was just lying to you, you are my enemy, my enemy."
She seemed to want to use this sentence to distance herself from Leng Xi, but when Leng Xi heard Luo Lan say that she was Long Xiaomin's child, he had already confirmed that she must be his daughter.
She and her mother look so much alike, even their revengeful nature is the same.
