A familiar figure appeared in front of them. His face was full of thick mustaches, armor, and blood. Long Xinghu came in, and when he saw them, he laughed loudly: "Aifei, Yan Ran is calm, are you all here?" ”

Mrs. Ji reluctantly saluted, but Yan Ran and Tairan didn't move as if they had been immobilized, just staring at him with wide eyes.

Xie Zhenfu frowned, squatted down, and said, "What's wrong with you two?" Come over and let my father hug me! ”

Before last night, Yanran liked his arms very much, wide and warm, which made her want to rely on him for life. But now, she saw the bloody sword at his waist, and the smell of blood in her nose. Overnight, her father turned into a demon king, bringing her countless nightmares and boundless fears.

Xie Zhenfu squatted for a long time, and saw that a pair of children had no intention of throwing themselves into their arms. Then he sighed and got up, and said, "My father has done all this for you, and one day you will understand." He turned to Concubine Ji and said softly, "Ai Concubine, you have suffered in the matter of the Queen Mother." I took the time to come over and bring twenty men with me, and you just told them to do it, and you must not be too tired. ”

Princess Ji lowered her head and agreed softly. Xie Zhenfei walked to her side and took her to his chest: "Concubine Ai, you have to teach these two children well, there are some things I can't help but do." You...... Don't let this give birth to me!"

Princess Ji's apricot eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she only felt soft.

Seeing that her parents were as restrained as in the past, Yanran couldn't help but save a little luck: maybe, maybe my father would be soft-hearted and let Xiaodouzi go?

She quietly looked at the calm beside her, hoping to see a little encouragement in her brother's eyes. Xie Tairan was still on guard, motionless to protect the little bean behind him.

The obvious abnormality of the two children finally made Xie Zhenfei suspicious. He let go of Princess Ji, walked to their side, pulled Yanran, and the frightened face of Xiaodouzi behind him was revealed.

When Xie Zhenyu saw it, he immediately understood everything. As soon as the long arm fished out, the little bean was in his hand. Yan Ran was shocked, rushed over and hugged his legs, and begged in a stack: "Father, please, don't kill Xiaodouzi!" Don't kill the little beans! ”

Xie Tairan fell to his knees with a "poof": "Father, please let go of Xiaodouzi!" ”

Xie Zhenyu looked at Yan Ran calmly, then looked at Princess Ji, and said, "It turns out that you hid him!" ”

Since killing Xie Zhenzai last night and imprisoning Xie An, his subordinates have been searching for the little prince Xie Douran. I had no choice but to rummage through the palace, but I couldn't find anyone. Originally, he also wanted to search Cining Palace, but the Queen Mother was critically ill at that time, and Xie Zhenfei refused to come to see the Queen Mother, nor was it convenient for people to disturb him. Unexpectedly, the little prince was hidden here.

Princess Ji shook her head vigorously and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, little bean...... Xiaodouzi is just a child, and he won't be a threat to you, so let him go! ”

Xie Zhenfei pulled out his long sword with a "choked" sound, and said sharply: "The kindness of a woman is useless!" If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles! I have already taken ninety-nine steps on this bloody path, how can I leave a calamity at the last step? ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Yanran let go of Xie Zhenfei's leg and suddenly hugged Xie Zhenfei's sword-holding hand. The long sword slanted past her tender cheeks, and the murderous aura on the sword made the cold hairs on her face stand on end. She raised her eyes, stared at Xie Zhenyu firmly with her eyes, and sobbed and said, "You killed Uncle Huang and drove away Brother An Ran, I don't allow you to kill Xiaodouzi again!" Otherwise, I'll hate you to death! She has always been articulate, and when she said this sentence word by word, she was both angry and desperate, which made Xie Zhenfei feel shocked.

His arm shook, and Yan Ran fell to the ground all of a sudden. He pointed his sword at her head and shouted, "Now that you know everything, if I don't kill Little Bean, you will hate me as well." I'm not afraid of your hatred, but this evil seed must die! ”

Xie Tairan exclaimed in surprise and ran over to protect Yan Ran, blocking his father's sword with his back. Princess Ji trembled all over, and hugged the little bean in Xie Zhenyu's hand, which was already frightened to death.

Xie Zhenfei turned his head, looked at Princess Ji, and said with a sneer: "Aifei, do you hate me too?" Princess Ji looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Lord, even if it is for the children to accumulate virtue, you can let go of Xiaodouzi!" Yanran and Tairan will thank you for the rest of your life! ”

Xie Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said, "Even you came to lie to me!" I knew that once I took this step, I would face your betrayal! For I was expected to bear all the iniquities alone, without implicating you in any part, or in exchange for your understanding. I can't imagine that karma is unhappy, I betrayed my eldest brother, and you also betrayed me! Well, I've got bloody hands anyway. This road must go on, and those who stand in my way will die! ”

Before the words fell, he knocked Princess Ji away with his shoulder, threw Xiaodouzi on the ground, and stabbed him with his sword.

Yanran screamed miserably, wanting to jump up to save her, but she had no choice but to press Xie Tairan, who was already stunned. Seeing that the sword was carrying Sen Han and quickly approaching Xiaodouzi's chest, Yan Ran closed her eyes in despair.

The bloody slaughter will begin again.

said that it was too late, and suddenly a figure swooped over and fell on Xiaodouzi.

It's Princess Ji!

Xie Zhenyu was shocked, but at this time, the strength had been sent, and it was impossible to withdraw it. only heard a "snort", and the sword pierced into the back of Princess Ji's heart without accident.

Xie Zhenyu shouted in panic: "Ai Fei, Ai Fei!" ”

This sword, he used real power, half of the long sword pierced into her body, where can she still live?

Why? Why? You have laid down your own life, me, and our children for the sake of other people's children?

Ten years of affection, it's not worth your nostalgia at all?

How can you be so ruthless!

He raised his head to the sky and screamed, and with a suffrage of his hand, the sword passed through Princess Ji's body, and then stabbed into the body of the child below her, all the way to the floor.

Xie Yanran screamed "Ah-", and she couldn't make any sound anymore. It's just that his eyes are getting wider and wider, staring firmly at the murderous sword, and the two bodies that are bleeding from the sword. She seems to want to see all the darkness and sorrow in this world exactly in her eyes and engrave it in her heart.

Xie Zhenyu let go of his sword, fell to his knees with a "poof", and lay down on his former delicate body, gasping and shedding tears.

Yanran fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Tairan finally moved off Yanran's body. He crawled step by step, approaching the place where the river of blood flowed.

Hearing the voice, Xie Zhenyu stood up in fright, glanced at Xie Tairan, and then at the dead Princess Ji, stomped his foot, turned around and staggered out of Cining Palace.

His path, he will definitely go on, nothing can stand in the way. Love can't, and neither can family affection.

The two people strung on the long sword thought that there was no possibility of survival, Xie Tairan stood up, gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword with a "sneer", and threw it aside. He turned Princess Ji over and found that she was actually open, and her eyes were still rolling. It's just that the little bean under him is lifeless.

Xie Tairan's tears fell on Princess Ji's face, and Princess Ji grinned at the corner of her mouth and pointed at Yanran. Xie Tairan nodded, hurriedly ran to Yan Ran's side, slapped his face and pinched people, and finally woke Yan Ran up.

Xie Tairan whimpered and said, "Yanran, the mother concubine is not dead yet, she has something to tell you!" ”

Yanran crawled to Princess Ji's side, looked at the breathless little bean, and looked at Princess Ji who was covered in blood, and only called "Mother", and tears fell like pearls with broken threads. Princess Ji struggled to remove a string of black beads from her hand and shoved it into the bleeding sword hole in her chest. The bleeding gradually stopped.

Princess Ji gasped for a moment, and said to Yanran: "Child, my mother still has something to explain, but time is running out, so you can put away your tears and listen carefully." ”

Yan Ran nodded, put a cushion under Princess Ji's head, and knelt on both sides of Princess Ji with Xie Tairan, one left and one right.

Princess Ji took Yan Ran's hand and said, "Child, you are actually not your father's bloodline. ”

Yanran was so young that she didn't understand it for a while. Xie Tairan was taken aback. But knowing that Princess Ji was probably delaying time with the help of the beads' hemostatic function at the moment, she could only hold back her full of questions and listen to her.

"I was originally the daughter of the Kula tribe in the northwest border of Yuezhao Country, named Ji Yaohuan, and I married Ashina, the son of the steppe warrior Ashlong, since I was a child...... Ten years ago, when I was about to get married, Ashlong rebelled. Your father led troops to quell the rebellion, Ashlong was killed in battle, and Ashina was wounded and fled. In the midst of the rebellion, my mount was wounded and captured by your father...... At that time I already had you in my womb, but your father did not know it. In order to save Ashina's life, I promise to be your father's concubine. ”

Yan Ran gradually understood that her mother was saying that she was not the child of her father Xie Zhenyu, but the child of Ashina!

Her mind went blank. There were too many blows on this day, but all the blows were not as direct and violent as the secret that her mother told her. It turns out that she has lived in ignorance for all these years, and she doesn't even know who she is!

"Child, if I don't tell you this secret, no one in this world will know. Father treats you well, but he is immoral and unrighteous and makes a big mistake. I don't want you to live in the shadows from now on, and there is another option in your life. ”

Xie Tairan looked at Yan Ran worriedly. found that Princess Ji's eyes were looking at her, so she hurriedly turned her gaze and listened to her next words.

Princess Ji couldn't stop breathing, but she tried to reach out and grabbed Xie Tairan's hand, and said, "Tairan, after I die, Yanran will only rely on you in this world." She's a miserable child, and you're going to ...... Be kind to her! ”

Speaking of this, Princess Ji couldn't hold it anymore, and her eyes rolled up. Yan Ran and Tai Ran lost all their thoughts and called out to her one after another. Princess Ji finally regained her breath again, but her already dim eyes kept staring at Xie Tairan.

Xie Tairan understood her thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I will remember your entrustment, and I will do my best to protect her in this life until I die!" ”

Princess Ji nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth grinned, and she turned her gaze to Yan Ran again. Deep contemplation, endless reluctance, can not withstand the passage of life. As if with a sigh, she tilted her head and passed away.

Yan Ran shouted sadly: "Mother! His eyes were bloody. The moon that had risen outside the window at some point also trembled in the mournful weeping of this room. Under the cold moonlight, Cining Palace was full of blood, three corpses, and two weeping thin figures, just like hell on earth.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenzhao, the emperor's uncle Xie Zhenyu, the king of Pingxi, launched a palace mutiny, killed the imperial brother Xie Zhenzai, assigned the crown prince Xie Anran, and killed the prince Xie Douran, which shocked the whole country. A month later, Xie Zhenfu officially ascended the throne and changed the country's name to "Kanglai". Amnesty for the world, tax reduction, killing traitors, the people praise, all ethnic groups are obedient.
