Half-dead paulownia

(Gate of Ghosts)

Everyone in the secret room couldn't help being shocked by Han Sha's behavior, even the ghost king stared at him motionlessly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

"I don't know what's going on in Han'er's heart?" Ghost King asked aloofly, but he was not as considerate as he should be, but rather cold.

"I beg my adoptive father..." Han Sha looked at the Ghost King with firm eyes, even though he was terrified, he didn't flinch in any way.

"Ghost King, Han Sha just hopes that he can investigate Anling Yuhao. After all, he is the chief culprit who killed his family, so he must take revenge with his own hands, right?" The glamorous Zi Ye slowly walked into the hall and stood beside Han Sha.

"Father, I..." Han Sha was curious about Ziye's coming, and at the same time wanted to make clear his position, that is, he hoped that Father would let Xiao Jinmo go, even though he knew the hope was slim.

"Han Sha, do you really want to save Xiao Jinmo? You will be in a dilemma." Zi Ye lowered his voice and whispered in Han Sha's ear.

"Han Sha, when did you become so indecisive and hesitant?" Zi Ye suddenly raised his voice, "What on earth are you thinking, to perform such a great gift?"

"Indeed, as Zi Ye said, I hope my adoptive father will allow me to deal with Anling Yuhao myself." After thinking for a while, Han Sha finally didn't mention anything about Xiao Jinmo.

"Hahaha, is this the thing? Don't worry, Han'er, you have done a great service today, as a father, you will surely fulfill your wish and let you kill the son of your enemy, and I will leave Anling Yuhao's affairs to you." The ghost king suddenly laughed out loud, not as cold as before.

Hearing the familiar voice below, Xiao Jinmo grabbed the crystal pillar and looked around. The person who came was Zi Ye, so there must be inextricable connections between them, and how much did he not know?

Finally, because he couldn't resist the cold, his consciousness became blurred little by little.

(Anling Imperial City)

Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his heart couldn't help beating violently. Anling Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes as if he was having a nightmare.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Ling Zining carefully took the silk, and gently wiped the sweat from Anling Yuhao.

As if waking up from a dream, Anling Yuhao suddenly sat up and looked at the scene in front of him in panic. On the same bed, the two embraced each other and fell asleep, while Ling Zining's tender eyes full of love stared at him. He was actually only wearing a thin shirt, and the messy clothes of the two of them were thrown on the ground.

"Me??? us?" Anling Yuhao even became a little incoherent, and then pointed at each other.

Ling Zining was full of shyness, covering her ruddy face lightly, and slowly nestled into Anling Yuhao's arms, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened last night?" But her body gradually moved.

It was only then that Anling Yuhao realized that under Ling Zining's body, that is, on the light-colored silk on the bed, there was a dazzling blood red. At this moment, his heart felt like being stabbed by a knife.

"Ning'er, I??? I seem to be unable to remember some things." Anling Yuhao rubbed his head, carefully recalling what happened last night, unexpectedly, he wanted to drink too much, and even No memory at all.

"Your majesty, my concubine asked you to drink less last night, but you still refused, but the emperor's appearance after drinking a lot is really cute." Ling Zining lowered her head lightly, as enchanting and charming as a peony.

"It's getting late, I need to go to the morning court, and I'll let the imperial dining room prepare your favorite meals and bring them in." Anling Yuhao hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on his body indiscriminately, and then Quickly left the room.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ling Zining looked at Anling Yuhao's leaving figure, her mouth full of coquettish anger.

Almost striding all the way, his expression was full of uneasiness, his shortness of breath showed irritability from time to time, and he finally stopped in front of a piece of emerald green lake water.

"Liu Meng, why didn't you stop me last night?" An Ling Yuhao ruthlessly held one hand on the stone railing standing by the lake, and it loosened a little under the pressure.

After Liu Meng watched Anling Yuhao come out of the room, his mood became a little abnormal, but he didn't expect that it was much more serious now than before.

"Your majesty, I dare not disobey anyone's orders. You are also willing to go to the empress's bedroom." Liu Meng said with a bit of aggrieved tone, indeed he was powerless.

"That's all??? Hey!" Anling Yuhao just sighed after all, and then continued to walk towards the main hall.

(Gate of Ghosts, Among the Cold Clouds)

Ziye followed Han Sha all the way to his room. In such a secret room, if someone is not very familiar with him, he will be stunned by this intricate road.

"Midnight, what's the little plan in your heart?" Han Sha asked coldly as before.

"It seems that you really don't know good people. If I hadn't stopped you just now, I'm afraid you would have died under the hands of the ghost king by now." Hearing Han Sha's ungratefulness, Zi Ye said sarcastically, "Don't If you think you are his adopted son, he will spare you, don’t you know how important Xiao Jinmo is to him? For this reason, he is willing to sacrifice everything and dominate the world, which is his lifelong goal.”

"So what? I, Han Sha, have never been afraid of death." Han Sha said in a disdainful tone.

"Death is nothing to you, Han Sha, but if you leave, who can save Xiao Jinmo?" Ziye finally got to the point of the problem.

"So let me tell you what's going on in your heart? Shouldn't you be thankful for catching Xiao Jinmo?" How could Han Sha not know that Ziye was restrained by the ghost king and used his child's life to do it? a deal.

"You don't need to know what I think, but what I just did is indeed beneficial to you. If you want to save Xiao Jinmo, you must think long-term. After all, your opponent is the ghost king, so you must find his weakness "Zi Ye said meaningfully, "I still have important things to do, so I won't bother you."

Han Sha looked at Ziye, who was about to leave, and had no idea what his position was at the moment.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if you know a woman that the King of Ghosts loved so much back then? It seems to be related to the Huanzhao Kingdom, but I heard that the woman married the Emperor when she was pregnant. "Zi Ye looked at Han Sha with strange eyes, "Everyone has a dead spot, it depends on whether you are willing to betray everything for the person in your heart."

At this moment, Han Sha actually treats Zi Ye differently. He knows that he may be used by Zi Ye, but judging from the current situation, he really needs to rescue Xiao Jinmo. Thinking about what Zi Ye said just now, he has indeed heard some According to the story of the ghost king, according to what he just said, Ling Han was pregnant when he married Zhenyi, but how could the emperor marry a pregnant woman?Unless he knows some truth, maybe the child that woman is carrying is not Ling Han's at all?It means that Ling Zining is not Ling Han's biological daughter.

One side is his adoptive father, the other side is his best friend, how should he choose?A gift of nurturing, a lovesick person, how to choose?Even Han Sha, who is as cold as ice, understands the truth in this world, so can't there be a way to get the best of both worlds?

(Huanzhao Kingdom, in the ancestral hall)

Bits of night light slanted into the ancestral hall, mottled night shadows flickered in the room, a bleak solitary lamp was always on, the royal family's ancestral tablets of all generations were placed in the center, and on the side were the royal relatives with royal blood. The lower level is the family members.

The door was gently opened, and the cold wind blew into the room, seeming to bring in the frosty moonlight, illuminating the dim tablet.

"Are you still here?" An elegant woman kneeling on the family tablet whispered, although she didn't turn around, she knew who it was.

"Mengli, today is Zhenyi's death day, how could I forget it?" The person who walked into the room turned around and closed the door gently.

"It's been 19 years. Every time I see Ning'er, I will think of her." Mengli lit a stick of incense, praying silently in her heart, and after putting it in the incense burner, she gently got up. "Your Majesty, we have now fulfilled her greatest wish."

"Yes, her beautiful daughter has found a good home now. Although she has experienced some twists and turns, she has finally achieved a positive result." Ling Han knew that even though it was a marriage between countries, if Ling Zining had a little Even if he didn't want to, he would not make such a decision. He knew his daughter, from the moment she saw Anling Yuhao, she couldn't escape.

"Your Majesty, about Ning'er's biological parents, do you plan to keep this secret from her for the rest of your life?" Mengli asked suddenly, feeling a little worried.

"I will only try my best to protect my precious daughter. Rather than knowing that it will make her hate and complain, it is better to keep it from her forever." Ling Han said in a loving tone.

"I'm afraid that one day, if she knows the truth, will she resent us for not telling her?" Meng Li still hesitated.

Ling Han also walked to the memorial tablet, lit a stick of incense, was silent for a moment, got up and put it in the incense burner.

"Ning'er is so sensible, she should know our good intentions." Ling Han only mentioned Ling Zining, and he smiled all over his face.

"But??? But I'm still a little curious, is this ghost king my senior brother?" Meng Li said in a puzzled tone.

Ling Han stopped in his tracks, and looked at Mengli with the same beautiful face as before, "If he is really your senior brother, then I will not let Ning'er know the truth, and I will not let them recognize each other." The attitude is unquestionable resolute.

Mengli lowered her head slowly, and sighed softly: "Fate is an unpredictable thing in the world. It was the beginning of a misunderstanding. I hope it doesn't leave a root cause."

"Who?" Ling Han suddenly saw a black shadow flash past the window, and couldn't help shouting vigilantly.

He hurriedly opened the door and looked at the guard guarding the door: "Who is outside?"

"Going back to the emperor, no one passed by." The guard replied respectfully.

Ling Han frowned, eyes full of disbelief, "Could it be an illusion?"

"You should also pay attention to your body, this is not the same as before, Xi'er is already that big." Mengli couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but she also showed a little concern, and then turned and left.
