monopolize my master

Chapter 45 Dark Night Love

"Child?" The woman paused when she heard the words, "What child?"

"Madam, please calm down first, and listen to what I have to say next." Ling Xiao saluted, "I have something very important to ask Madam. The matter is of great importance, and may be related to the life and death of King Jinghe. Madam, please tell me so."

"A Yin? Do you know the whereabouts of A Yin?" Hope was rekindled in the woman's eyes, "Where is he? Was he injured in that war?"

"Madam, please sit down first, calm down." Ling Xiao hurriedly motioned to Aunt Gui to help the woman sit down, and bowed her hands in salute, "Please forgive me for the crime of coming uninvited. Just now, Aunt Gui told me everything .”

"...It doesn't matter if you know. It's a long time ago." The woman said softly.

"I have a question for Madam. Back then, the emperor announced to the world that you died due to dystocia. What happened? Where is the child you gave birth to now?"

"I haven't seen the child. I did have a child, and the dystocia was real. It's just that when I woke up, I was no longer in the palace. The palace announced that I had died of illness. And later the emperor told me that the child was gone... It's a princess."

"Princess?" Ling Xiao frowned when he heard the words, "Then, madam, hasn't she seen that child?"

"...Yes." The woman replied softly.

"...Is that child the emperor's?"

The woman raised her brows slightly when she heard the words, and the corners of her lips curled up, as if she was mocking Ling Xiao, "What do you think?"

"I feel that Madam has a noble nature, and she is definitely not someone who easily compromises." Ling Xiao said, "It's just that that person has always acted viciously... Maybe there are other unspeakable secrets."

After listening to Ling Xiao's words, the smile in the woman's eyes deepened, "Your words seem to have so much meaning. That's right, that child belongs to me and A Yin. It's just that God doesn't open his eyes, and he won't even save that child's life Give me."

"... Ma'am, do you know that the current Crown Prince of the East Palace said that his mother is... Empress Xian Zhaohe." Ling Xiao said softly, "His name is Su Huang. He is eight years old this year."

"Impossible!" The woman stood up suddenly upon hearing the words, "What did you just say? The prince? That's not my child. If it were my child, how could he be named the Prince of the Eastern Palace by that person?"

"I'm not sure about this matter. I don't dare to speak nonsense for the time being. I will inquire again when I go back. In order to repay his wife's kindness, Ling Xiao swears here that if he has the opportunity, he will definitely take his wife out of this cold palace." Escaped. Find His Royal Highness King Jinghe."

The woman didn't answer.Ling Xiao bowed to Aunt Gui, probed around, and disappeared into the vast night.

After Ling Xiao walked away, a black figure jumped off the wall and stared in the direction Ling Xiao was going away.The man held a sharp dagger in his hand, and looked extraordinarily cold under the moonlight.

……

It was already midnight when Ling Xiao sneaked back to the East Palace.He tiptoed to Su Huang's room, listened carefully, but there was no movement, he should be fast asleep.

Ling Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to his room.He thought of the box of King Jinghe he had brought from General Hussars again, and felt faintly uneasy.

Knowing so many old things about the previous dynasty, Ling Xiao felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help worrying about his father who raised troops far away.I don't know how my father is preparing?Soldiers and horses, money and food, generals, strategies, and the most important figures, Jinghe Wang.

According to what the Lenggong woman said today, Jing and Wang are still a big problem.Back then, he was betrayed by his brothers, he was suppressed everywhere, and he was at ease in the court, and he had no intention of rebelling, let alone now?He already knew that Empress Showa died of illness, but he still didn't have any intention of treason and let him be sent.What if such a loyal and brave person is found?How should his father persuade him?

Or, his forbearance is just an appearance?

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

The child's inquiry sounded behind him suddenly in the quiet night, Ling Xiao was taken aback, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground in shock.He looked back and saw Su Huang standing barefoot at the door in a nightgown, looking at him coldly.

"You... When did Your Highness arrive?" Ling Xiao asked in a low voice.

"I have something to discuss with the Taifu." Su Huang's tone was very cold, and Ling Xiao could faintly hear an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

"Just arrived not long ago." Su Huang replied, but his eyes began to wander around, and finally stayed on the candle lamp.

"Blow out the candles. I'm afraid those guards will be suspicious." Su Huang said.

"Ah."

Ling Xiao stepped forward and blew out the candles, and the room fell into darkness again.

Ling Xiao heard Su Huang's footsteps gradually approaching him.

He already guessed what Su Huang was going to do.Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly, but finally hung them down.

"Your Highness, what's the matter? Did I wake you up?" Ling Xiao calmed down and asked.

"No. Your lightness kung fu is very good. If I hadn't been guarding your door all night, I wouldn't have known when Lord Ling would go out." Su Huang sneered, approaching Ling Xiao step by step, holding the Yuehua dagger tightly in his hand,

In the darkness, the two faced each other silently, neither of them could see the other's expression clearly, they just confronted each other quietly without saying a word.And what the other party is thinking, they already know it well.

Ling Xiao sighed, and took the lead to break the silence, "Aren't you going back?"

"……No return."

"Why?"

"The thief has not been eliminated."

Ling Xiao smiled, with a trace of relief in his eyes, "It seems that you have guessed it."

"Isn't it right?" Su Huang asked back, and took another big step forward.Immediately afterwards, the Yuehua sword was unsheathed, and the glistening short sword pointed directly at Ling Xiao's neck.

"I can kill you right now, and then tell my father what you did." Su Huang's voice trembled a little, "Or, you obediently let me tie you up, and I will take you to confess your sins in front of your father tomorrow morning. He might spare you the death penalty..."

Ling Xiao chuckled and remained silent.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Huang said angrily, "From the very beginning when you entered the palace, I felt strange why the father would let you be a commoner to be a third-rank tutor for no reason. It turned out that you had planned it for a long time! A genius, why did you ask me to be your disciple of Taohuashan, and why did you desperately defend the royal family's reputation in the arena? It turns out that you are all in collusion! You and Ling Yun have planned it for a long time!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ling Xiao also said angrily when he heard the words, "My brother and I did have quite a disagreement before—but we really moved each other in the hand-to-hand competition in the ring that day. I saw that you are very talented in martial arts but Suffering from the fact that there is no teacher to pass on, that's why I offended Tianyan and proposed to teach you martial arts, you said that I have planned to enter the palace to be the Taifu... Think about it, who has planned for a long time!"

Who has planned it for a long time?

A terrible thought suddenly flashed in Ling Xiao's mind.Although this crazy and terrifying idea seemed groundless, it unraveled many things he didn't understand.

It may not be a coincidence that he entered the palace by himself!

In the unfathomable night, there seems to be a pair of hands that have been slowly pushing himself like this, looking for the truth.Where to start?From the beginning of entering the palace, from the case of Mr. Zhang Wenju, from the Xuanji Pavilion, from the cold palace.

Ling Xiao only felt a chill on his back and broke out in cold sweat.

"Ling Xiao! Answer me! Are you going to plead guilty or not!" Su Huang still insisted.

Ling Xiao didn't make a sound, just stood there in a daze.Seeing him like this, Su Huang was even more furious, and the Yuehua sword stabbed straight towards Ling Xiao, drawing a bloodstain on Ling Xiao's neck.

With a clang, the Yuehua Sword in Su Huang's hand fell to the ground.

"What am I going to do with you?"

Su Huang's eyes were red, and she squatted on the ground in despair, holding her head in her hands, her originally handsome and heroic face was now full of pain and struggle.Looking at Su Huang like this, Ling Xiao's heart was already filled with turbulent waves, but at this moment, a deep wound was added.

After hesitating for a long time, Ling Xiao gently picked up the Yuehua Sword on the ground and handed it to Su Huang.

"Since you already know, kill me." Ling Xiao turned his face away and said calmly, "I did lie to you, so I deserve it. But there is one thing you must know, your father is not An almighty good man in your eyes."

Su Huang took Yuehua quietly, without saying a word.Ling Xiao looked out the window, but also said nothing.

Many years later, recalling this past event, Ling Xiao still doesn't know why he made such a decision in the first place.Obviously he has decided to be at odds with the royal family, and he has eleven million ways to escape unscathed, and he can also choose to fight back, even if he makes up a random reason, he can prevaricate it.

But he confided everything in a strange way.

Ling Xiao looked out the window quietly, waiting for Su Huang's verdict on him.

The expected coldness did not come, but the pain came as promised.Ling Xiao's arm was pulled away by Su Huang, and a burst of warm pain followed.Ling Xiao frowned in pain, but saw Su Huang was biting his forearm, looking at him angrily and aggrieved.

Ling Xiao's eyes were slightly moist, but his heart was soft.

After a long time, Su Huang let go, leaving two neat rows of tooth marks on Ling Xiao's snow-white forearm, like a crescent moon.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao smiled and pulled down his sleeves, "Your Highness's mark of punishment, I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

Su Huang's ears were as red as boiled shrimp, he stretched out his fist and hit Ling Xiao hard on the chest, and cursed softly, "Bastard."

Ling Xiao was in a half-squatting position, but being pushed by Su Huang, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell straight backwards. Su Huang was a little panicked, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab him, clasped his hands, and met his eyes.Thousands of words, but just a moment is like a thousand years.

As a result, both Ling Xiao and Su Huang fell to the ground, and Su Huang's tiny body was lying in Ling Xiao's arms, a little flustered.

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

Ling Xiao asked gently as always.Warm breath sprayed on Su Huang's forehead.

Su Huang was a little upset for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Ling Xiao was a little nervous, "Where is the injury? I will help His Highness up now..."

"Don't call me Your Highness!"

I don't know where the inexplicable anger came from, and I don't know why he is so upset. Su Huang has been dazzled by everything about this person in front of him, resentful, wronged, and even a little flustered.Looking at Ling Xiao's fair neck, Su Huang couldn't hold back the surging emotions anymore, and bit Ling Xiao's fair neck fiercely.

Ling Xiao was in pain, and a painful cry for help escaped from his throat.

"Don't call."
