Half-dead paulownia

(Anling Capital Palace)

A naked fiery red strange bird flew into the hall, only the eyes were black, the feathers around it were like raging fire, and the body was the size of an eagle.

"Your Majesty, as long as it smells this spice, it can be found even hundreds of miles away." Meier said confidently.

Empress An Ruo looked at the bird that flew into the hall in shock, with uneasiness in her expression.

"Okay, then hurry up and find the assassin." An Ling Mingcheng said eagerly.

I saw Mei'er took out the spices in her bosom, and signaled the bird to smell it, only to hear the big fiery red bird uttered a frightening and eerie cry, circled a few times in the sky above the hall, and rushed straight to the ground. Entering the crowd, no one noticed the slight wry smile on Meier's face.Holding his breath, he stared at the weird big bird with good eyes, and finally landed in front of a person, screaming ear-piercingly.In an instant, all the people got out of the way, looking at the person pointed at by the big bird in horror, and the guards immediately surrounded them, surrounded them, and were on standby.The people above the main hall followed everyone's doubts and looked at this person, their expressions froze at this moment.

Wearing a lavender shirt, white gauze as snow, a calm aura like a virgin, eyes as mysterious as a deep lake, eyes closed, a purple headband tightly tied her hair, and a slight hint of aura on her unparalleled face. Showing a bit of tiredness, no matter above the hall or below the hall, even the guards who were about to attack had an inconceivable expression.

Anling Yuhao's eyes suddenly became agitated, he was completely different from him just now, his lips trembled, and his body froze in a daze.Ling Zhuoxi was shocked at first, and then showed a disdainful expression.An Ling Mingcheng also looked at him in panic, it seemed that the corners of his eyes were shining with crystals, Empress An Ruo gently held his hand, and whispered: "How can there be such a similar person? I almost mistook him too."

"He seems to be two people, the most beautiful people in the two worlds." An Ling Mingcheng couldn't help holding An Ruo's hand.

"Indeed, how could his frail body be an assassin?" An Ruo asked suspiciously.

"Meier, your bird is nothing more than that, do you still have time for such jokes?" Ling Zhuoxi still said to Meier with disdain.

"Meier doesn't know, but the servant's bird has never made a mistake." Meier explained innocently.

"Hmph, if you don't let your bird fly back again, I'll kill it." Ling Zhuoxi picked up the sword angrily.

"Your Majesty..." Meier turned her head to look at Anling Mingcheng.

Stiff and motionless Anling Yuhao looked at His Highness's so-called assassin with such a complex expression, but this was the first time Anling Yuhao had clear and bright eyes after returning to the palace, as if seeing hope in a trance.

"Xiao Jinmo, you still showed up, I thought I would never see you again." An Ling Yuhao said calmly.

Everyone was confused by Anling Yuhao's words, and looked at the prince who knew the assassin in puzzlement.

"It's just a coincidence." Xiao Jinmo replied pretending to be indifferent.

"Is it a coincidence? Is it a coincidence that we met when the prince of Anling Imperial City was overjoyed?" Anling Yuhao said excitedly.

"I just came to visit a friend, and I didn't expect to meet your marriage." Xiao Jinmo replied calmly, looking at Ling Zhuoxi.

"The friend you mentioned is him? So you have never forgotten him, right? He is really so important to you? It seems that you have never abandoned him!" An Ling Yuhao pointed to the side Ling Zhuoxi said with dark eyes.

"That's natural, how do you know the friendship between me and Jin Mo?" Ling Zhuoxi replied proudly, walked straight down the hall, and walked in front of the so-called assassin. The guards took away their weapons and evaded a path .

The officials looked at the two princes even more puzzled, not knowing what kind of relationship they had with the assassin.Anling Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, obviously enduring something.

"Xiao Jinmo, I will always trust you, but why?" Looking at the red spice powder stained on Xiao Jinmo's body, Ling Zhuoxi asked in confusion.

"It's useless to say more. Now it's not between you and me that can be resolved, but the relationship between Anling and Huanzhao. Do you think I can explain something for everyone to believe?" Xiao Jinmo asked calmly.

"I just want to know why? Who is framing you?" Ling Zhuoxi asked helplessly.

"I'm afraid the real planner is waiting to see a good show? A prince actually shields the assassin. How can you establish your prestige in the court in the future? You have found the assassin, but you are arguing. How do you let the envoys of Huanzhao Kingdom think of Anling?" The capital? He wants to stir up troubles between the two countries, and that's exactly what he wants to do, but he underestimates me, Xiao Jinmo." Xiao Jinmo looked at Mei'er on the stage, and whispered to Ling Zhuoxi firmly.

"Xiao Jinmo, what do you want?" Ling Zhuoxi asked nervously.

"Promise me one thing." Xiao Jinmo said, then leaned into Ling Zhuoxi's ear and whispered a few words, Ling Zhuoxi's astonished expression instantly appeared.

"Xiao Jinmo, you..." Before Ling Zhuoxi could finish speaking, Xiao Jinmo shouted towards the main hall: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die. The princess was indeed kidnapped by me. The evidence for the plan is convincing. You also know that I am not If you will betray your accomplices, you can only continue to investigate in the hall hard, so if you want to kill, you have to do whatever you want." Immediately, the guards rushed up and surrounded them layer by layer, pushing Ling Zhuoxi out of the circle, and the officials sighed endlessly.

An Ling Mingcheng just stared blankly at Xiao Jinmo, "If you name your accomplice, I can punish you lightly." It seemed that he was deliberately giving Xiao Jinmo a chance.

"It's better to die than to speak, and to find an accomplice depends on your own abilities." Xiao Jinmo's seemingly weak body showed an unstoppable strength and looked at the restless Mei'er.

"What a young man with a backbone, it's a pity that you took refuge in the wrong direction, come here..." An Ling Mingcheng seemed a little offended.

"Stop, Father, I think something is wrong." An Ling Yuhao said resolutely.

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with it. I've already confessed my guilt. Why are you still hesitating?" Xiao Jinmo argued.

"No one can hurt Xiao Jinmo, otherwise he will be an enemy of me, Anling Yuhao, and he is definitely not an assassin." Anling Yuhao roared angrily.

"Everyone, look at the prince of the capital of Anling. He really loves the people like a son. It seems that you should feel relieved to entrust the country to him in the future. However, the prince of Anling regards me as superior. I am just an assassin." Xiao Jin Mo said calmly.

"Xiao Jinmo..." Anling Yuhao said in surprise.

"Xiao Jinmo, you..." An Ling Yuhao said in pain.

"You always appear by my side, which troubles me a lot. What's the use of keeping someone who is worthless? That's why I left without saying a word. Do you understand? Anling Yuhao!" Said sarcastically.

"Shut up, it's not true, Xiao Jinmo, what you just said is all false, right?" An Ling Yuhao roared as if stimulated.

"Hmph, what a joke, is it necessary for me to deceive a worthless person? But, after all, you are too easy to deceive." Xiao Jinmo still had a sneering look on his face, but his hands were tightly clutching his chest.

"Xiao Jinmo!" A tear fell from Anling Yuhao. With empty eyes, aggrieved expression, and desperate voice, this magnificent man shed tears in front of the world in such a fragile way, this incomparable prince It was shocking just today.

"Prince Anling, I, Xiao Jinmo, look down on you too much. Are you a coward? You can't stand such a little deception. You really don't have the qualifications to rule a country." Xiao Jinmo reprimanded sharply.

"Haha... Are you not qualified? Are you cowardly? From today on, I, Anling Yuhao, will let you all know what is a man, what is a responsibility, and what is a domineering." Anling Yuhao, who seemed to have seen through everything, suddenly realized the heroism Wanzhang said.

This kind of aura is a sense of oppression that anyone can feel. The silver-haired brilliance seems to have transformed into a tough, domineering, and resolute. This can't help but shock Ling Zhuoxi. An Lingmingcheng looked at An Ling Yuhao secretly nodded, revealing a slight smile.

Anling Yuhao stared straight at Xiao Jinmo, without saying a word, stared at him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to swallow everything up, and he was speechless when the pain was deep, how did Anling Yuhao accept Xiao Jinmo? Everything that Mo just said?Recalling the scenes, every crisis moment, is it a trap?Every time his life hangs by a thread, is it a trick?Every time the truth is revealed, is it a deception?Then he turned his body abruptly and returned to the main hall without looking back.

"Come on, take it down." An Ling Mingcheng ordered solemnly.

"Your Majesty, don't." Ling Zhuoxi suddenly stood in front of Xiao Jinmo.

"Ling Zhuoxi, you have to know that now you are helping someone who kidnapped your sister." An Lingmingcheng said sharply.

"I don't care what you think, in short, I will not let the real murderer go unpunished, and I will not let any innocent person be implicated, especially Xiao Jinmo." Ling Zhuoxi resolutely continued to block.

His Highness's ministers began to discuss, and they did not understand what Ling Zhuoxi was doing now.

"His Highness Ling Zhuoxi, don't lose your prestige. Remember what you just promised Jin Mo. If you can do it, Jin Mo will have no regrets." Xiao Jinmo said with a solemn expression.

"Ling Zhuoxi, don't be fooled any longer. Are you still being kept in the dark? It's all deception." Anling Yuhao seemed to be trying to persuade Ling Zhuoxi, but there was endless sorrow in his words.

Xiao Jinmo glanced at Anling Yuhao sadly, and tightly clenched his chest with his frail hands.

"Anling Yuhao, I, Ling Zhuoxi, will always trust Xiao Jinmo, even if everything is a lie." Ling Zhuoxi answered Anling Yuhao firmly, only he understood Xiao Jinmo's helplessness and sadness at the moment.

"Ling Zhuoxi, thank you. There must be an explanation for everything. I will still say that I, Xiao Jinmo, will never forget what I should remember. I hope you will also remember what I just said to you. Everything will come back to you in the end." The origin." While speaking, Xiao Jinmo pulled out the knife of a soldier beside him, and before he could stop it, he inserted it deeply into his chest, the blood overflowed instantly, staining the thin white gauze red, like blossoming roses that were about to drip, Pale complexion, layers of sweat, the body that was already unstable finally couldn't support the body, and at the last moment when it was about to fall, a smile bloomed: "Don't underestimate Xiao Jinmo, I still remember the promise made by the academy that day. .”
