Chapter 1: The Lord's Wife
When the voice suddenly appeared, Zilong clearly saw Zi Qianhua's body trembling slightly, which was simply impossible for the first city lord who had always been calm, what kind of person actually made Zi Qianhua so moved, and when he touched Chilibet's frowning brow, Zilong's thoughts were even stronger. \、0М/
Soon, the person who stepped in from the door solved Zilong's doubts, it was a woman with an abnormal appearance and extremely noble every move. The fiery red robe fluttered gently, revealing a delicate and seductive figure, the lilac slightly curly long hair was tied behind his head with a black hairband, he looked only in his twenties, exuding mature charm all over his body, and suddenly saw the woman Zilong suddenly had a familiar feeling, he looked at Zi Lingfeng, and then looked at the woman, and finally found out why this feeling came from, it turned out that the two were a little similar, remembering what the woman said when she didn't enter the door, an irrepressible thought arose in her mind, could she be Zi Lingfeng's mother? This is not impossible, seeing that Zi Lingfeng is still at a loss, I am afraid that he has not woken up yet.
"Why are you here?" Zi Qianhua's deep voice suddenly sounded, with a bit of anger in her voice, and her dark blue eyes stared at the woman, as if she wanted to see her through.
"Why can't I come? If I don't arrive, won't I even be able to attend Ling Feng's wedding? Before I knew it, Ling Feng had grown so big, as handsome as you were when you were young, well, Ling Xin should also be a big girl, and she should be a big girl, and she should be married, you father..." The woman gushed endlessly, her face flashing with the kind glow of maternal love, but Zi Qianhua suddenly interrupted her.
"What is the purpose of your coming here? The Imperial God Pavilion is willing to let you go, it seems that you are determined to win. "I have long known that she has become a high-level member of the Imperial God Pavilion, and now that she has arrived, does it mean that the Imperial God Pavilion is going to take a big action?
This woman is Zi Lingfeng's mother, and she is a person from the Imperial God Pavilion, this explosive news surprised Zilong and the others, you must know that Zi Qianhua and the Imperial God Pavilion are completely hostile positions, isn't this husband and wife turning against each other, such a dramatic scene is actually staged in front of their eyes, in the face of this former wife, what will Zi Qianhua do?
"I'm just here today to catch up on the old days, and it's a lot of fun to talk about those things, I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity in the future, Ling Feng, I didn't come to say hello when I saw my mother, that's how your father educated you?" The woman suddenly turned to Zi Lingfeng, who was speechless, and said, although there was reproach in her words, her expression was gentle and smiling.
"Mother?" Zi Lingfeng repeated in despair, his eyes devoid of gleam, like a puppet.
"Enough is enough, you have never asked them for more than ten years, so why bother to act like a mother at this time. Zi Qianhua shouted expressionlessly, he knew that Ling Feng still couldn't forget what happened more than ten years ago, and the word mother could only evoke painful memories for him.
Hearing Zi Qianhua's words, Yan Qian seemed to remember something, and a smile like a spring breeze suddenly froze on her face, and she sighed and said, "Yes, my mother has indeed failed to fulfill her responsibilities, but they are still my children, how can this not be changed." Now that Ling Feng is about to get married, shouldn't he also think about Ling Xin's future, well, I think this kid is good, how about you being my son-in-law?"
Zilong, who was named by name, looked deeply at this woman with a smile on her face but a little lonely in her eyes, and didn't understand what her purpose was when she said this, if she really had an in-law relationship with the Zi family, then it would be even more impossible for her to join the Imperial God Pavilion, which would definitely be contrary to the purpose of the Imperial God Pavilion. Could it be that the Imperial God Pavilion has already let go of itself, this kind of thought was suppressed by him as soon as it was generated, and it can be seen from Dramivy that the Imperial God Pavilion's style of doing things, if they really don't plan to use themselves anymore, they will also kill themselves. Zilong felt more and more that this former city lord's wife was like a mystery, and he couldn't guess what she wanted to do.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a wife, and Miss Ling Xin is impossible. Zilong politely refused.
Hearing this, Yan Qian seemed to be relieved, but Zi Qianhua was obviously a little disappointed, he was indeed very moved when Yan Qian made that suggestion, although he would sacrifice Zi Ling Xin because of this, but Zilong was a rare talent in any way, and he had dark blue eyes, so he was still Ling Xin climbing. The most important thing is that the marriage can bring Zilong's relationship with the Zi family closer, and he doesn't have to worry about him being bought or controlled by the Imperial God Pavilion, killing two birds with one stone, but it seems that this is just his wishful thinking. However, he also felt relieved, after all, Zilong was from another world, if the two really got married, once he had to return to his own world one day, what should Ling Xin do, he couldn't let that child be hurt anymore, so it was okay.
"That's a pity, I don't know who is so honored to marry Mr. Zilong, is it you, cute little girl?" said half-jokingly and tentatively, according to her investigation, Zilong was followed by this little girl soon after she appeared, and she was almost inseparable, looking at Zilong's eyes just now, he didn't lie, so the wife in his mouth was very likely to be this little girl. If she is mastered, I don't know if I can force Zilong to join the Imperial God Pavilion, she doesn't believe that Zilong has no weaknesses, since money and power can't move him, what about feelings?
Qi Xiang's temptation made Qi Xiang blush instantly, and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not the wife of my eldest brother." Although he denied it, Qi Xiang's heart felt sullen, it turned out that his brother already had a wife, and the person who could be his brother's wife must be very gentle and beautiful...
Qi Xiang's lost quilt Zilong saw in his eyes, he loved Qi Xiang very much and had a special feeling, he couldn't help but stretch out his thick hand to grasp the white tender little hand hidden under the table, the temperature that came at that moment suddenly made Qi Xiang dispel the coldness in his heart, and smiled slightly at Zilong.
The movements of the two fell completely into the eyes of Yan Xuan, who was observing them, and she secretly smiled softly.
Because of the appearance of the Yan Yi made this celebration a little different, the food that seemed to be full of color and flavor tasted like chewing wax, and the atmosphere was also very weird, except for the Yan Yan who was not conscious, no one else could see the existence of a smile.
"Xiao Feng, don't you call me mother?" When Yan Yan was about to leave, she suddenly walked in front of Zi Lingfeng, and said with a slender jade hand on his shoulder, the warmth and kindness in her eyes were so real, she looked like a real mother at this time, she looked at Zi Lingfeng expectantly, maybe she had been waiting for this voice for a long time.
This call and the warmth from his shoulders made Zi Lingfeng's body tremble, and the memories of his childhood flooded into his mind, the beautiful woman who chased after him and called Xiao Feng, the eyes that looked at him with a gentle face, and the slender back who turned away without hesitation. Since you are gone, why do you need to come back, and why did you let me meet, and remind me of what a cruel mother you are.
"No, by the time you left, you were no longer my mother, my mother was already dead. Zi Lingfeng, who had been silent, finally came to his senses from his own world, raised his head suddenly, and looked directly at Yan Xuan's eyes full of wordless accusations and resentment.
The sword-like gaze stinged her, she knew that this child was still hating her, even after more than ten years, it still couldn't change, but who could know that she didn't want to leave this home and her two children. However, sometimes people can't control their own destiny, and maybe she shouldn't have accepted that task in the first place. However, it will be over soon, and I hope that the family will be reunited at that time, and you will wait for me.
He looked at Zi Lingfeng deeply for a long time, slowly took out something out of thin air and walked in front of him, raised Zi Lingfeng's clenched palm, and placed a delicate ring in his palm.
"This is a ring that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Zi family, and it is specially prepared for the daughter-in-law who married into the Zi family. It's been with me for twenty years, and now I'll give it back to the Purple family, and you can give the ring to your future wife, Chilix is a good girl, and she is beautiful and smart, don't treat people badly. Yan said earnestly, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the familiar smile made Zi Lingfeng forget his refusal for a while, and watched the back gradually disappear.
Although the night was very quiet, Zilong couldn't sleep, nor could he settle down to cultivate, somehow he missed his distant relatives, especially his three beautiful wives. The words of the day to test himself made him a little annoyed, maybe now the three of them are thinking about themselves in the moonlight, worrying about themselves, thinking of the three beauties in the distance, his heart can't help but rise a warm current, he is no longer alone, he will also have someone to accompany him in the future, wife, friends, and future children. Sitting in the gazebo in the garden, looking at the dark night sky, Zilong's heart was overflowing with thoughts of another world.
"Your Excellency, are you missing your wife?" Some playful voices came from behind him, Zilong turned around violently, and saw Zi Qianhua's figure slowly moving over.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, it's easy to think of the past on such a night, you miss your relatives for so long, right?" Zi Qianhua said with some emotion, a lonely expression flashed on his face, such Zi Qianhua has never been seen by Zilong, I am afraid that the appearance of Yan Qian reminded him of the past.
"The city lord seems to be a little sentimental, is it because of her?" Zilong carefully did not mention the other party's name, there must be many stories between this Yan and Zi Qianhua, obviously they are husband and wife, but in the end they became enemies, and they couldn't see each other for more than ten years.
"Do you want to hear our story?" Zi Qianhua leaned on the railing behind him and looked up at the sky and suddenly asked, at this time he did not regard Zilong as the person with dark blue color, but as an object to listen to.
Zilong really wanted to doubt whether Zi Qianhua had the ability to see through people's hearts, but he really didn't expect that one day he would talk like this in the middle of the night with this always expressionless city lord, and indeed he was very interested in the grievances and entanglements between their husband and wife, and of course he wanted to know more about it, because she was a person from the Imperial God Pavilion, and it was very likely that she would occupy a high position, remembering the warning of the night ghost, she was very likely to be a certain elder of the Imperial God Pavilion.
"If the lord of the city wants to. Zilong said with a faint smile.
Zi Qianhua has been the heir of Gada City since he was born, not only because he is the only child of the Zi family, but more importantly, he has a pair of pure blue eyes, which have established his position as the heir to the city lord. As the future lord of a city, he can't have the freedom of ordinary people, which Zi Qianhua has already been mentally prepared for, and his daily hard work has become his daily routine since he became sensible. This kind of hard work made him the youngest city lord at the age of eighteen, and his calm and capable skills were greatly praised among the city lords, and he was gradually accepted and admired by those who were not convinced.
At a banquet, he knew the gentle and elegant woman like water, like a queen, her name was Yan Xuan, the daughter of a big nobleman, with light blue eyes, and many suitors, there was no passion and romance between the two, there was only tacit understanding and understanding, just like confidants and friends, what surprised Zi Qianhua was that the two even had the same hobbies, and the common language and hobbies made the hearts of the two closer and closer. Without any doubt, they walked into the wedding hall, and Yan Yu became his best virtuous helper, and the love between the two won the envy and blessings of countless people.
But everything about Zi Qianhua changed drastically one day, and when Yan Qian gave birth to Zi Lingxin, her actions began to become weird. Although it is not much different from usual, Zi Qianhua, as her closest person, can see the changes in the details of the Yan, he observed her without a trace, and found that she often ran out to meet other people in the middle of the night, and often wandered around the house, even some corners.
Of course, Zi Qianhua would not doubt his wife, but her behavior could not let him go, what kind of secret was she hiding? When the sword was on his neck, he finally knew that the so-called affection was just an illusion, everything was just a deception, and what she wanted was never him.
"Qianhua, tell me, where is that map?" said Yan Jian with a chuckle, her smile was still so beautiful, it would have been more perfect if she hadn't held that blood-dripping sword.
Feeling a tingling sensation coming, the warm liquid slowly left from his neck, Zi Qianhua knew that this former wife could do anything, but he couldn't break the oath he made, the map was handed down from the ancestors, and he had to protect it even if he sacrificed his life.
He deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "I don't know what you're talking about?
"You're wrong, that's only part of the reason, I married you because only you are worthy of me, I can't deny that you are very attractive to me, but the task is the task, and I have to give up on you when there is a conflict between the two, the original plan was that we would continue to live like this after I stole the map, but I have to admit that the Zi family is indeed well-prepared, I have lived here for a few years and can't find any trace of it, so I have to ask you." Qianhua, don't you want us to live happily together as a family?Just give me the map, and we can live a peaceful life from now on?"
"Of course you can't find it, because there's no map at all. After listening to Yan Xuan's words, Zi Qianhua didn't know if she wanted to be happy because of this, after all, she was not with herself purely because of the mission. But even so, they can't go back to the way they were, and even if the cracked mirror is repaired, it is not the same as it was, and its cracks are still there.
"Qianhua, you never lied to me, but today you actually lied. It seems that you are reluctant to let go of that map, our information will not be wrong, this is after investigating fifty-two city lords and concluded, that map must be in your hands, do you want me to use the child to persecute you?"
"I thought you already knew who I am, even if you threaten me with a child, the result will be the same, not to mention that you don't forget that it is also your child. Zi Qianhua said expressionlessly, being able to use the child as a bargaining chip without changing his face, the shock in his heart was beyond measure, he didn't expect his wife who had been married for many years to be such a vicious person. In fact, he was not qualified to blame her, because he was the same, in order to prevent the map from falling into the hands of the Imperial God Pavilion, he could not also sacrifice Ling Feng and Ling Xin.
"At that time, I thought that no matter how ruthless I was, it would be impossible to hurt my own flesh and bones, but what I didn't expect was that she actually went to do it, and when I saw her put her sword against Ling Xin's neck, which was only a few months old, the shock could not be described in words. But at that time, my body was restrained and I couldn't move, I could only watch the tip of the sword cut wounds on Ling Xin's white and tender arm, Ling Xin was crying and struggling at that time, presumably she would not understand that her mother, who had always loved her, would be like this. Zi Qianhua said with a wry smile.
"So what did the city lord do?" Zi Lingxin is safe and sound so far, I'm afraid Zi Qianhua has also paid a certain price.
"You already know that there are fifty-two maps, and the information that she got is that there is only one map, so she married me, and used the identity of the city lord's wife to find the map, she is a very smart woman, and when I told her the facts, she immediately knew what to do is the wisest. ”
When she heard that there were fifty-two copies of the map, and it was kept by the fifty-two city lords separately, she was very disappointed at the time, but she also knew that even if she seized this map today, it would not be of much use, she let go of Ling Xin, but since then she has also disappeared in front of Zi Qianhua, but Zi Qianhua believes that they will meet one day.
When Ling Xin had lost her role, of course she would not hurt her anymore, and Zi Qianhua couldn't help but put her mind at ease, but when he saw the small figure behind her, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his heart panicked, he may have felt the change in Zi Qianhua, but when he looked back, he saw Zi Lingfeng, who was only four years old, standing there expressionlessly, staring at the two of them with big eyes but not saying a word, and his unchanged smile disappeared, replaced by a moment of panic.
"Ling Feng, why are you here? Go back and rest. Zi Qianhua didn't expect Ling Feng to appear, he shouldn't be resting, and suddenly thought that it was about the time when he took Ling Xin away that woke him up, and he hurriedly scolded Ling Feng to leave here, Ling Feng was only four years old, could it be that he saw his parents turn against him.
Ling Feng didn't answer, he ran to the crying sister in a few steps, stretched out his short arm to protect his sister with his body, the alienation and anger in his eyes made people forget that he was just a child, he sighed, a sad and contradictory expression flashed on her face, she looked at the three of them deeply, as if she wanted to engrave them in her eyes, and then ruthlessly went away. This disappearance has been more than ten years, and every time Zi Qianhua hears her name, it comes from Tianjia.
It can be said that Zi Qianhua's situation is very similar to Mu Yiqiong's, the same betrayal, the same tragedy, but obviously Zi Qianhua chose to live strongly, and fought against the Imperial God Pavilion for more than ten years, but Mu Yiqiong chose to escape. In this great change, Zi Lingfeng and Zi Lingxin are just innocent victims, maybe because of this, the two can get so much love from Zi Qianhua, who among the nobles can live as happily as the two, at least Zi Lingxin is much happier than Zi Lingfeng, because she has no memory of that past at all, but Zi Lingfeng witnessed his mother's cruelty, no wonder he said such heartless words at that time.
With deep sympathy for Zi Lingfeng, Zilong also returned to his room, but before he got close to the door, he felt a strange breath, and that breath was coming from his room, and the other party seemed to deliberately let himself feel her presence, although he couldn't feel the other party's killing intent, but Zilong still pushed the door open vigilantly.
