Ruan Sheng's steps stopped following these words, but he didn't turn his head back, he just stood there, but it was just this that made the queen mother show a smug smile, "You don't believe it? But the emperor, think about it carefully, your father You happened to be sick when the emperor had an accident. When you woke up, your father had already entered the imperial tomb. From the beginning to the end, it was all handled by the Ai family and those old officials. Apart from seeing your father The appearance of dying, have you seen the scene when your father was buried?"

Ruan Sheng didn't move, but Empress Dowager Li was right about this, he had never seen his father enter the coffin, and even his father was very surprised when he died.

It is said that he died of a sudden serious illness. It took only three months from the serious illness to his death. But because everyone told him that he was too excited and in poor health at the time, he fell into a coma. Has been buried in the imperial mausoleum.

In addition, at that time, he never thought of the possibility of his father's suspended animation, so he naturally didn't think about it.

But if this result is established, the father was indeed very strange during that time, and he was usually in good health, but he suddenly fell ill at that time, but the father did not come to see him as usual. Now that I think about it, it should be the father. The emperor knew his situation, and even all these coincidences were done by his father.

Empress Dowager Li looked at his back with pleasure in her eyes, "You believe it, don't you? Didn't you say that your father treats you very well in this world, and no one would dislike your appearance, but your father insisted Go down? He still detested you, abandoned you, and now only the so-called biological mother, Aijia, is with you..."

Ruan Sheng didn't want to hear her slandering her father, so he turned around slowly, there was no sadness on his face or even in his eyes, only a cold indifference, "Your so-called sowing discord is useless here. Even if what you said is true, so what if my father faked his death and left? I believe that there must be a reason why my father did this. The love and care my father has shown me for the past 20 years is not a single word And these so-called words in your mouth can be offset. I am even very glad that Father is still alive, and that is enough."

Empress Dowager Li saw that he really didn't care, and even showed relief in her eyes because she knew that the first emperor was still alive. Empress Dowager Li's expression was completely distorted, "Why are you not sad? Don't you care about your beast body the most? You are not human. Monster of the beast, you shouldn't have survived! You shouldn't have survived!"

Empress Dowager Li couldn't hold back and stood up abruptly. The anger and the indifference in Ruan Sheng's eyes made her finally collapse. It shouldn't be like this, shouldn't he be in pain?

But why not?

Ruan Cheng looked at the nearly mad woman in front of him, without any expression on his face, "If that's what you want to say, then I have nothing to say to you."

Empress Dowager Li woke up because of these words, gritted her teeth, and her eyes were red with hatred, "You know how much the Ai family hates you and this palace, the emperor is so cruel, he just because of that bitch Just because Aijia drove her away and made him lose his love, he trapped Aijia in this position for more than [-] years. Even if he faked his death, he still wanted Aijia to guard this position, without his own life, without His own child, he just wanted Aijia to atone for the past, but why? Aijia liked him so much, why did he just abandon Aijia and ignore it just because of those few months?"

Ruan Sheng didn't seem to hear the resentment she roared, and said lightly: "Obviously, in the past 20 years, you have never really understood what redemption is and what guilt is." But she never repented, and even now she never felt that she was wrong.

There is nothing wrong with being happy with someone, but knowing that you can’t do it, even using despicable means, that’s not joy, that’s selfishness, an excuse for your own selfishness.

Queen Mother Li gritted her teeth, and suddenly rushed two steps forward: "Emperor, promise me! You won't kill the elder brother of the Ai family, right? You won't kill the Li family, right? You promise the Ai family, the Ai family I will tell you where your father went, otherwise, if you don’t go to save your father, I’m afraid that even if he just faked his death at the beginning, he will die later!”

Ruan Sheng looked at her blankly, and suddenly said: "I promise you, I will not take the initiative to order to kill your brother, nor will I take the initiative to order to kill your Li family." But there are so many ways in this world that can make life worse than death. There are thousands of kinds, if General Li and those Li family members who participated in the rebellion couldn't bear to commit suicide, but he didn't take the initiative to issue the order, so he can't be blamed.

Empress Dowager Li probably didn't expect him to agree, "Emperor, are you serious?"

Ruan Sheng still had no expression on his face: "You are not joking. It's just that I want to know what happened that year and who my biological mother is?"

Hearing Jun Wu's joke, Empress Dowager Li finally laughed. She believed Emperor Ruan's words. After all, she had watched him grow up all these years, and knew that since he agreed, he would never touch the Li family again. As long as her brother is still alive, she has a chance to stand up.

Probably it was also to get rid of the smile on Ruan Sheng's face completely, thinking that even if the emperor liked that person again, so what, now that person has gone nowhere, the two of them are separated by life and death, even if Emperor Ruan knew There is nothing to do with the whereabouts of the emperor. Of course, if Emperor Ruan really went to save people, and something happened and he would never come back, then it is not to blame that she did not abide by the original agreement.

Empress Dowager Li's expression gradually eased, and she sat down again on the sidelines, reverting to the dignified and noble empress dowager, looking at Ruan Sheng with pity, with a mocking smile in her eyes, "Emperor, you probably... Here's a chance to meet your biological mother."

Next, Empress Dowager Li told the truth about that year, but the purpose was to let Ruan Sheng know how much their parents loved each other back then, but how miserable the final ending was, but as his son, he Powerless, after all, it is impossible for a person to fight against the sky.

Xie Yan guessed correctly, Ruan Sheng's biological mother was indeed met by chance when the first emperor went south for a private visit.

The first emperor simply went south to avoid being urged to marry, but he never thought that the empress dowager deliberately matched the former emperor and the current empress dowager Li. It was not until the boat was far away that the first emperor knew that Li was also here. But people were already on the boat, and they came as Lord Li's family members. Although the late emperor didn't like it, he could only stay, but he didn't pay any attention to Li Shi on the way.

The reason why the late emperor's father didn't want to get married so early, even because there was no one in the harem, was because he was named a prince since he was a child, but even so, his father's empress palace had three thousand beauties, and he watched these women in the harem vying for favor , and his so-called younger brothers were secretly jealous of him and even wanted to replace him.

He looked at his empress mother who obviously didn't like those women, but still wanted to be magnanimous, just because she was the empress, and she needed to spread branches and leaves for the Huang family, so she could only be magnanimous.

Probably because he watched too much. After the first emperor came to the throne, he made up his mind that he would not get married unless he found a beloved one. At that time, he would only leave the other party alone. He didn't want to see his beloved woman crying secretly like his queen mother again.

And he finally waited for it, but unfortunately, the timing of seeing it was not right.

When the first emperor went south, he wanted to do something practical for the country of Ruan besides avoiding his mother's urging marriage. He did a lot of things and punished many corrupt officials all the way south, but he didn't Without revealing their identity, gradually, some foreign ministers only thought that an imperial envoy had come.

At that time, there was a very powerful official. He was the bully king of that place. He had been tyrannical and domineering all these years. He got the news in advance, and was afraid that this "imperial envoy" would attack him when he came, so he decided to act first. Before the late emperor's ship approached his territory, he sent a group of people pretending to be bandits to rob the ship, but actually assassinated it.

There were not many people brought by the first emperor at that time, and because he didn't want to go with the big boat of the courtiers such as Li, so he left in a small boat first, and met the assassins on the way, although he brought a lot of hidden guards, but in the end There were more people on the other side. As a last resort, under the desperate cover of a group of people, the first emperor left in another smaller boat that could only accommodate one person.

It was only because of serious injuries that the first emperor fell into a coma on the way, and the boat took him by mistake into the famous inanimate maze at that time.

It is that piece of sea that has been passed down for a long time. It is filled with fog all day long. Once it strays into it, there is no survivors, because there is only a vast ocean inside, without end, and it is impossible to get out even without knowing the direction.

The first emperor went in like that, and when the rescue arrived, everyone went crazy looking for the first emperor. Even though they knew it was a lost area, they mobilized local officers and soldiers to search day and night.

When Empress Dowager Li said this, there was confusion in her eyes, but then there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "...At that time, Ai's family was worried, and they stayed in that area with their father. Appeared, just when everyone felt that there was little hope, but he actually came out from that sea area, and it was still the same boat, but it was not one person, but two people who came out together."

Empress Dowager Li laughed slowly, with hatred in her eyes, "Obviously the Ai family knew the emperor first, but he only had that bitch in his eyes, and even for fear that someone would find out that something was wrong with her, he took her from the beginning to the end." Wrapped up, and put on men’s clothing, said he was a lifesaver, haha, he can fool everyone but not me, how gentle his eyes are when he looks at that bitch... But he has never looked at that kind of eyes Mourning home.

Later, he stayed there for three months, eliminated that high official, tidied up the place, and stayed with that bitch all day long. The Ai family was not reconciled, and finally one day, the Ai family was given an opportunity.

That bitch disappeared suddenly for several days and never came back. Even the emperor felt that she had run away. After searching for three days and three nights, the emperor was extremely depressed in those few days, probably because he missed her too much. Drunk, came back throwing a tantrum and kicking everyone out and forgetting to close the deadbolt.

Aijia originally wanted to cook some hangover soup for him, but after entering the room, Aijia couldn't bear to give up this opportunity..."

Ruan Sheng clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth when he heard this, his eyes were frighteningly cold, "You, did, what, what?"

Empress Dowager Li laughed, "What can Aijia do? He was so drunk that he fell asleep at the time. Aijia originally wanted to fish in troubled waters to make him think that something happened to us. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. To blame It’s strange that the emperor gave Aijia this opportunity... The next day Aijia woke up first but didn’t move. When the emperor finally woke up and saw Aijia lying next to him, he was terrified. Before the emperor could say anything, suddenly the room The door was pushed open, what a coincidence, even after so many years, Ai Jia still remembers, that bitch broke in with a smile in his eyes, and saw that scene... Hahaha , she was so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood. Speaking of which, the emperor, your egg back then has a mouthful of blood from your biological mother...

At that time, the emperor was terrified and wanted to explain, but how could she listen? Probably because she was weak after giving birth to the egg, and she almost couldn't hold back her original shape because of the heartache, and the egg almost broke when it rolled down. Emperor, why are you not broken?Otherwise, there would be no you, and the Ai family wouldn't be so miserable!

However, it was precisely because she couldn't help showing her original shape that the Ai family knew that she was not a human... Hahaha, your father was so infatuated back then, he chased him like crazy, but it's a pity that there is no shadow, he looked for it After so long, I even wanted to break into the Inanimate Maze where they met back then, but I was stopped, and the excuse I used was naturally you..."

Back then, the former emperor couldn't find it everywhere, and in desperation, he wanted to break into the realm of lifelessness. She thought maybe she went back there, but did she just break into that place casually?There is no return.

If people were not inside, once the emperor entered, he would never be able to get out, and he might even die inside.

At that time, Xu Zhong, who was the only one who knew the truth, was the chief executive at the time and also Xu An's godfather. In order to prevent the late emperor from taking risks, he simply took out the egg that was forgotten at that time, saying that it might be the late emperor and the dragon girl. If the first emperor really never returned, then the dragon egg would not be able to survive, and maybe the dragon girl would come back when the dragon son was born.

The first emperor didn't dare to bet in the end, he knew that if he disappeared, a non-human dragon egg, even if it was born in this world, would be a strange species or a monster, and would be feared by people, and the end would be miserable. Wei was around the sea area, and finally returned to the palace with the dragon egg.

It's just that after returning, the first emperor threatened Li Shi with more than a hundred mouths from the Li family and made her a queen. Since she wanted to marry him, he would fulfill her. It's a pity that she has nothing but this position in this life. There will be, and she will atone for everything she has done.

One month after the wedding, the first emperor announced that the Li family was happy. At that time, the first emperor just wanted to use the Li family as an excuse to give the dragon egg a title. He even thought of many ways, but it was not ten months old. It actually broke and gave birth to a little dragon cub...

"You probably know everything after that. The emperor is really ruthless. He has trapped Ai's family in this position for more than 20 years. Even if he faked his death, he still let Ai's family stay here." Thinking of the past , the hatred in Empress Dowager Li's eyes became more and more intense, but no matter how much she hated, she couldn't do anything about the late emperor, who held her life, she dared not say a word at all.

Ruan Sheng took a deep breath before forcing himself to calm down, otherwise, he was afraid that he would want to strangle the Queen Mother Li in front of him.

Ruan Sheng stared at Queen Mother Li, gnashing his teeth: "Since you hate me so much, why haven't you dared to do anything to me these past few years?" She had many chances, and it was precisely because of this that Ruan Sheng didn't go here at all. while thinking.

Empress Dowager Li gave him a deep look, "Do you think the Ai family doesn't want to? But before the emperor left, he left a group of people. As long as news of the emperor's death came out, the entire Li family would be slaughtered immediately, and even the Ai family would be slaughtered." The lives of the family will not be spared..." Otherwise, how could she bear such anger!But she still thought of a way, since she can't die, it's always okay to disappear, right?

So, she cooperated with Xie Xiang... "It's a pity that you have been unlucky, and you managed to escape alive in Xie's mansion..."

Otherwise, as long as Emperor Ruan disappeared instead of dying, those people would not take action.

Unfortunately... still lost.

Ruan Sheng's gloomy pupils finally thought of that person because of this, and finally there was some warmth in his eyes.

He finally knew why his father had suspended his death, because his father knew very well that he would never have a chance to come back when he left here. Only then can he step into that maze with peace of mind, and even if he can't come back, he can feel at ease.

The corners of Ruan Sheng's eyes were a little wet, but he still held back, not wanting Queen Mother Li to see him, he took a deep breath, and looked at Queen Mother Li who was mockingly looking at him: "I already know where Father Emperor has gone, but Father The emperor probably didn't think that you couldn't make your sins less serious in 20 years. I don't mind asking my father to do more. The queen mother is still preparing tonight, and the imperial decree will come down tomorrow to take the queen mother to the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp. Since the queen mother doesn't want to be in the palace, then I will give you a better place!"

Empress Dowager Li's expression changed: "How dare you!"

Ruan Sheng looked at her coldly: "Then you can see if I dare, oh yes, I can also pray for the Li family, after all, prison is not very comfortable."

Empress Dowager Li finally panicked, "Emperor! How dare you, don't you just say no to the Li family..."

Ruan Sheng turned around blankly: "I said I couldn't order them to be killed, but I didn't say I couldn't put them in prison!"

Ruan Sheng didn't pay any attention to how Queen Mother Li screamed and collapsed behind the scenes, but he didn't feel that his face was wet and cold until he got out of the Compassion Palace and was blown by the cold wind. He walked forward blankly, every step seemed to be stepped on On the heart, unable to breathe.

……

Xie Yan took the two cubs with him all the time, but he didn't wait for Emperor Ruan to come back in the middle of the night. He was surprised. He went out to ask Eunuch Xu, and found that Eunuch Xu had come back a long time ago, saying that he didn't know where the emperor had gone.

Xie Yan thought about it and guessed a place. Although he didn't know why the emperor was there so late, but he just went to meet the queen mother, so he must have been stimulated by something.

Xie Yan was worried about the two little guys, so he just hugged the second cub, wrapped the dragon cub around his neck, and went directly to the beast hall from the secret passage of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The second cub slept soundly after eating, and the little dragon cub Lying on the shoulders is obedient, waited for Xie Yan to push open the door of the beast hall, looked up and looked at one place, and sure enough, he saw the small window on the top floor of the beast hall where the moonlight could be exposed, Ruan Sheng was facing away. Sitting there, motionless.

Xie Yan closed the hall door, went up silently, and sat beside him.

Hearing the movement, Ruan Sheng turned his head slowly with a stiff neck, forced a smile, and took the second cub from his arms, his voice was a little hoarse, "Why are you here?"

Xie Yan hugged the sleepy dragon cub in his arms, "The emperor hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid something will happen to the emperor."

Ruan Sheng shook his head, "I'm fine."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "Really?" Obviously he didn't believe it, it's strange that he looked fine, he saw that Ruan Sheng fell silent after listening to his words, thought about it, and sighed, "Does the emperor want to tell me? "

Ruan Sheng raised his arms to wrap his arms around him, Xie Yan didn't hate him this time, and lay there obediently, waiting quietly.

I don't know how long I waited until I heard Ruan Sheng's slow voice, telling Xie Yan what the Empress Dowager Li said tonight.

After Xie Yan heard it, she didn't expect that she guessed it right, but the Empress Dowager Li was too shameless, causing her husband and wife to break up for more than [-] years, and even parting with each other. wrong?

But now there are still two cubs in his arms, Xie Yan doesn't want to scold or listen to words, looking at Ruan Sheng's side face, knowing that he doesn't care about Queen Mother Li, he should be worried about the former emperor, sighed, "Your Majesty Thinking about it better, maybe the late emperor could really find your biological mother, right?"

Ruan Sheng knew that the chances were slim, but Xie Yan's words still gave him a glimmer of hope, "Really?"

Xie Yan nodded heavily: "Of course, how about we pray together so that the late emperor can find his sweetheart and come back safely together?"

Ruan Sheng looked at the gentle comfort in Xie Yan's eyes, his heart was warmed, and a wave of enthusiasm rose from his heart. After thinking about it, he nodded solemnly: "...Okay."

Xie Yan bent his lips and smiled, the two looked at each other, and then directly faced the night sky outside and began to pray, but Xie Yan suddenly thought of something, and before Ruan Sheng opened his mouth, he went up and covered his mouth: "Wait wait!"

Ruan Sheng was taken aback, and tilted his head to look at him puzzled: "???"

Xie Yan was thankful that his hands were fast enough, and coughed softly, "Then, Your Majesty, I think... With your luck, you should stop praying, really, it's enough for me to pray alone."

Ruan Sheng and others understood the deep meaning in Xie Yan's words: "..."
