Half-dead paulownia

In the silence, the two men watched with deep eyes, each with their own deep meanings, each with their own concerns, and finally broke the deadlock with a sneer from Zi Ye.

"I don't know if you have heard a rumor recently. It is said that Anling Xuantian left heirs in this world." Ziye finally accepted Hansha's condition, "There is such a rumor in the world that there is no such thing as the wind. It's not that simple anymore."

"If Anling Xuantian really has a child living in this world, then Anling Yuhao's throne will be shaken. It must be a trick conceived by the court's rebels to cause turmoil in the world." Han Sha analyzed, and couldn't help Secretly feeling: "Is Anling Yuhao really coming to an end?"

"Since we want to cooperate, it's best for the two of us to be honest. Don't you really know whether those rumors are true or not?" Zi Ye asked suspiciously.

"I've never been interested in these disputes between the government and the opposition." Han Sha returned to the original coldness, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

"You may not be interested in these things at all, but the hatred between you and Anling Yuhao shouldn't be let go easily, not to mention that now is a great time, why not use their hands to completely destroy Anling Yuhao? ?” Zi Ye said quietly, with a cold light in his eyes.

Han Sha's indifference turned into curiosity, staring at Zi Ye in front of him, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, but if you say that you are doing your best to protect your child, I will naturally not believe it." Yes, isn't Anling Yuhao your friend?"

With a wave of Ziye's sleeves, the candlelight was extinguished by the cold wind, and everything fell into silence and darkness again, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.

"I can only tell you what I know. What happens next depends on your own choice." With an expression that was unclear, Zi Ye only left words in the dark night and left quickly.

(Anling Imperial City, Maple Leaf Studio)

The two figures are reflected in the moonlight, clinging to each other and talking about the hard-won reunion, the stars are dotted, and the maple trees are swaying.

"Jinmo, do you still remember it?" Anling Yuhao put his left arm around Xiao Jinmo who was nestled in his arms, and took out a bunch of pink jade ornaments with his right hand, which were so bright and dazzling.

Xiao Jinmo looked at the string of jade ornaments in surprise, "Jade heart bell? Why is it in your hands again?" With a somewhat excited tone, he carefully took it in his hand and looked at it, how could he not remember, "The wandering In the fate, it can still shine, this is its good luck and its misfortune."

"But after identifying its master, it finally found a life that suits it, and it no longer has to follow the crowd, because someone is willing to wait for it." Anling Yuhao gently held Xiao Jinmo's palm, making him hold Yu Xinling Hold it tightly in your hand. "Would you like to be its master?"

Xiao Jinmo looked back at Anling Yuhao's serious face, and couldn't help smiling: "It belonged to me in the first place, why is it its owner now?"

Feeling a warm feeling all over his body, it turned out that Anling Yuhao hugged himself into his arms again, "There is a beautiful legend about it, this kind of jade is not ordinary jade, it was transported thousands of miles from the capital of Danyue Emperor , After continuous polishing and forging, it can finally shine like this. It is said that this piece of jade can attract fate in this life, so it seems that it has come true."

"Danyue Imperial Capital? It's a paradise where everyone is equal, far away from the eyes of ordinary people?" Xiao Jinmo felt a little excited when he heard this, "Does it really exist there? I heard that it accepts no matter what kind of love, like??? like between us, and as long as we live there, we can stay together happily, I really don’t know what kind of people can live there.”

Seeing Xiao Jinmo's envious expression, Anling Yuhao leaned close to his ear, and said softly: "Since you like it so much, one day, I will take you there."

Xiao Jinmo really felt warm in his heart, even after hearing Anling Yuhao's gentleness thousands of times, it still made his blood boil every time, that kind of sincere excitement seemed to never be erased, but At this moment, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He knew that that wish would never come true, but he also planted a small longing in his heart.

"Actually, wherever you are, that's where I want to go." Xiao Jinmo responded in a low voice, even if it wasn't a paradise, even if the road ahead was difficult, he would always be by his side.

Anling Yuhao didn't tell Xiao Jinmo that the Jade Heart Bell existed in pairs, it seemed that its former owner had complicated and confusing stories, but these were not so important to him, because he had already He had secretly decided that before the court struggles affected him, he needed to send Xiao Jinmo away quietly to a place known only to the two of them. From the tone just now, one could tell that he would like that place.

(Huanzhao Kingdom)

Ling Han unconsciously walked to Mengli's bedroom again. Although she has not been found yet, the inside and outside of the bedroom are still brightly lit, and no darkness or loneliness is allowed.

Nightmares have been haunting me for several days, and it seems that every time I dream of Anling Xuantian's various tragic deaths, I can only stop, waking up again and again, recalling scenes one after another.

Could Xiao Jinmo really be the child of Mengli and Anling Xuantian?Why did Mengli never mention it?Then how did he become Ling Su's adopted son again?Although everyone categorically denies it, how can this be hidden from Ling Han who is ruling the roost?It's just that he doesn't want to pursue it. The frivolity of his youth made him lose his true love. If he continues to be serious now, he may lose something that he can't bear in his life. I'm really afraid. At this age, maybe It would be better to be confused.

As if suddenly remembering something, Ling Han touched the pendant hanging on his waist but hidden in his clothes for a long time, slowly took it out with trembling hands, and a string of translucent emerald green jade heart bells appeared in front of him, round and graceful. The flickering of luster seems to be expressing loneliness and loneliness.

"Anling Xuantian, my Yu Xinling has never left, has yours already dimmed with your wounded heart?" Ling Han stared at the Yu Xinling in his hand, as if a light really flashed by.

(Anling Imperial City, Qianyang Palace)

Anling Yuhao was absent-mindedly reviewing the memorial. There had been no news from Liu Meng and Meng'er for several days, and a bad premonition vaguely appeared in his heart. Maybe the two of them were playing outside for a few days. After all, they were husband and wife. Newly married, it makes sense to think about it this way, but for the sake of safety, I didn't make a big announcement. I only asked Liu Meng to accompany Meng'er to visit her master, but actually asked Qin Xiang to investigate secretly.

"It's not good, the big thing is not good." A guard trotted all the way to the study in a panic, almost falling down due to nervousness.

"Why are you so panicked?" Looking at the guard's expression, Anling Yuhao knew that something must have happened.

"Back to the emperor, the empress was walking with Mr. Xiao by the lake, she accidentally slipped her foot and fell into the water." A layer of sweat oozed from the guard's forehead.

Anling Yuhao's mind went blank for an instant, and he hurriedly walked towards the lake, "How is it going now? Have all the imperial doctors gone?" He asked while walking.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it was Mr. Xiao who jumped into the lake to save the empress, and the imperial physician is also on his way." The guard hurriedly suppressed the emperor's shock.

Anling Yuhao also trotted all the way to the edge of the lake, the maids were wiping Ling Zining who was shivering from the cold, Xiao Jinmo was also standing aside with his whole body wet, watching Anling Yuhao coming anxiously, just about to She stepped forward to say something, but saw that his eyes just skipped his trembling self, and walked straight towards Ling Zining.

"Let the imperial doctor go directly to Qianyang Palace." Anling Yuhao ordered, he hugged Ling Zining in a hurry, squatted down to pick her up, and left quickly, using his exhaled breath to warm her delicate body from time to time, even completely He ignored Xiao Jinmo who was watching him from behind.

Xiao Jinmo, who returned to Maple Leaf Zhai alone, recalled the scene just now, and the eyes that flashed by his side seemed a little strange. When he watched him go straight to Ling Zining, although he knew that that person needed protection more, But I have to admit that Xiao Jinmo was still jealous. He thought that he would be indifferent and would share everything he had, but it turned out that everything was just his own assumptions.

It's just that it wasn't just Anling Yuhao's expression that made him feel down, but also the previous chat between him and Ling Zining.

Looking at Xiao Jinmo, who was in good weather, he thought that Ning'er, who was pregnant, still needed company when he had nothing to do, so he took her out for a walk and watched the scenery in the lake.

"Jinmo, do you have anything interesting to tell me outside recently?" Ling Zining was like a child, waiting for an adult to tell a wonderful story.

"Actually, it's nothing. Now it's not the same as before. You also know that Yu Hao has just ascended the throne and became the emperor, and now the streets and alleys are talking about his merits and demerits." Xiao Jinmo said with emotion.

"Because I have nothing to do recently, I am learning about the capital of Anling, but from my point of view, Yu Hao is naturally the youngest and most promising emperor among the monarchs of all dynasties." Ling Zining mentioned Anling Yu Hao, and immediately With a happy expression on his face, "But I don't seem to understand why some people are questioning Yu Hao's bloodline now?"

Xiao Jinmo's face darkened when he heard Ling Zining's question, "This is the rule of the capital of Anling. The kings of all dynasties must be of the blood of the royal family of the Huanzhao Kingdom. Except for the imperial decree of the royal family, the sons of other concubines are not You can't become the crown prince, and your royal father was decreed by Anling Xuantian to abdicate, so now that Yu Hao ascends the throne, it is inevitable to leave something to talk about."

"So that's the case. No wonder I've seen Yu Hao so haggard these days. As a woman, I really don't know how to help him, even if I can share a little bit." Ling Zining said considerately.

"I also feel the seriousness of the situation. I really don't know how Yu Hao will solve it. This time is not a trivial matter." Xiao Jinmo couldn't help feeling a little worried, although he never mentioned it when he was with An Ling Yu Hao. He is concerned about the affairs of his family and country, but everything is in his own heart, and he is afraid that it will cause him more troubles, so when the two are together, they always discuss things that can make him happy.

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much. I can tell you a secret." Ling Zining said in a mysterious tone, "But you can't tell anyone, including Yu Hao, or he will blame me."
