Mu Linglu described her embarrassment and haggard expression.

The Hagi area is heavily guarded, and she must have suffered a lot in order to break into Chunxi Palace.

Qingling asked her to help her up, and ordered her personal maid to wash her slightly, tie her hair in a bun again, and clean her face. The guards and the others were all pushed out, and in the spacious inner bed, only Mu Linglu and Qingling were soon left.

Mu Linglu looked at Qing Ling, as if she was a little restless, "If you weren't cornered, I wouldn't have the face to beg you." ”

Qing Ling asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mu Linglu was silent for a moment, and her voice was as soft as usual, "You and the prince had an accident in Jiuqiu, and I heard that it was Fang Shanlei who set up a game with a demon fight." ”

After returning to Lingxiao City, Qing Ling heard from Mu Chen that when Fang Shanlei got into trouble, he took away the elite and close brothers in the clan. A powerful monster like Demon Dou, even if it has been restored completely, it is still not controlled by the Protoss. If the people of the Protoss want to open the power of the Demon Fight, they must sacrifice the spiritual blood of the Protoss that has cultivated to the depths to nourish and urge the magic weapon. Later, it was also confirmed from the torture of the captives that the nearly 100 masters that Fang Shanlei brought into the palace of Zhangyao were all dead soldiers who were used to sacrifice the demon fight.

When Qing Ling learned the beginning and the end from Mu Chen, his heart was like boiling water.

She couldn't understand what kind of obsession would make someone like Fang Shanlei suddenly become so crazy?

Mu Chen said: "Everyone has some obsessions hidden deep in their hearts, and they suppress them on weekdays and don't think about them, but it doesn't mean that they can forget them." Fang Shanlei's hatred for Luo Heng and Jiuqiu has been around for a long time. He can't accept Chao Yan and Jiuqiu to make peace, and he can't accept that you are the person behind this matter. ”

He was silent for a moment, "I've always been wary of his antipathy, but I can't guess his feelings for you......" paused, "He should, he really values you, that's why he gave you that unique Yan Yin Bead ......"

The strange color of the Jin Yan Yin Bead is an artifact specially ordered by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor after his son died in the Demon Fight, and it is said that it can specifically restrain the power of the Demon Fight. However, at that time, the demon race was almost destroyed, and this bead had never had a chance to be used, so no one could say whether it was really useful or not.

Later, the Heavenly Emperor clan was wiped out, and Jin Yanyinzhu fell into the hands of the powerful Fang Shan clan......

Qing Ling was still full of pain at that time, and after listening to Mu Chen's words, he just sneered and said, "He's just a madman!" I only wish he had died by the sword I stabbed! ”

At this moment, Mu Linglu mentioned Fang Shanlei again, Qing Ling's mood was no longer as agitated as before, and his expression was faint and he couldn't see too much emotion.

Mu Linglu continued: "In the past two years, His Majesty has been tracking down the origin of the Demon Fight. The people of the Fang Shan clan who remained in Beijing were all taken to prison and tortured. ”

Qing Ling said "um", "I know. I heard that at the beginning, it was the ancestor of the Fang Shan clan who got a fragment of the Demon Dou by chance. ”

She asked for these news from Mu Chen.

Mu Chen didn't like to mention the affairs of the previous dynasty in front of her, let alone use words like prison torture, but if she pressed her to ask questions, she would occasionally reveal some news that would not upset her too much.

Mu Linglu nodded, "As the four great families of the Eastern Continent, as long as the Fang Shan clan has the heart, it is not difficult to slowly acquire and accumulate these fragments, but for thousands of years, the Demon Dou has never been able to recover. ”

She paused, "Because the largest fragment is not within the realm of the Protoss. ”

Qing Ling vaguely realized something, and stared at Mu Linglu, "Where?" ”

Mu Linglu bit the corner of her mouth and stood up, kneeling straight.

"In ...... Zhong Qi's blanching. ”

Zhuoyuan is the cultivation place of the demon clan in the past, and it is also the place where many monsters are refined and destroyed, and it is not difficult to understand that the largest fragment of the demon fight is left here.

It's just that......

A flash of snow suddenly crossed Qing Ling's mind.

Zhuo Yuan was banned that day, and the person in charge was Yushi Cheng Mu Duan, Mu Linglu's father.

Mu Linglu said with tears in her eyes: "My father, as you know, is very fond of drilling camp power. Although he was loyal to His Majesty, he was always worried that he would not be able to compete for real power in private, and used many methods to secretly cultivate his own disciples, and even my daughter, even if she begged him so many times, was finally sent to the palace...... Later, His Majesty implemented a new policy, and there was nowhere to place the disciples that my father wanted to cultivate, and I couldn't say anything in front of Your Majesty......"

She choked up with sobbing, paused and said, "He used to be close to the people of the Fang Shan clan. Therefore, Fang Shanlei found him and promised to give him all the secret forces under the Fang Shan clan, and he ...... He ......"

Speaking of which, Qing Ling has basically understood.

When Mu Duan banned Zhuo Yuan, he got the largest fragment of the Demon Dou and hid it privately. Later, it was used as a bargaining chip for the transaction and handed it to Fang Shanlei.

She stood up, avoided Mu Linglu's kneeling, and said coldly, "Then what do you want me to do?" Your father betrayed Your Majesty and indirectly killed my husband, is it possible that you still want me to intercede for him? ”

Mu Linglu shook her head, "No, no!" I know that my father's sins are unforgivable...... It's just that my grandmother, mother, and young siblings, children and nephews are all innocent. ”

She took a few steps on her knees and grabbed Qing Ling's group, "Please look at the past feelings, let Your Majesty forgive the death penalty of the women and children in my family!" They really don't know anything! ”

With that, he bowed his head and kowtowed vigorously on the jade floor tiles.

Qing Ling avoided again, but his tone was no longer so harsh, "You get up." If you do, we can't speak. ”

Mu Linglu stopped moving, slowly raised her head, and her forehead was red and swollen.

Qing Ling leaned sideways, stared at the belt on the curtain, and said slowly: "The country has national laws, your father betrayed the emperor, and his crime should be punished, even if I plead, it will not have any effect." ”

Mu Linglu looked at Qing Ling with teary eyes, only to feel that the woman in front of her was strange and indifferent.

In the past, when I first met, I whispered and laughed in the boudoir, and I had many intimate times, and later I entered the palace and became a sister-in-law with her. In Mu Linglu's eyes, Qing Ling has always been a kind and friendly person who makes people question his identity as an emperor. was born noble, and even had a high position, but he never had a commanding and arrogant side......

However, at this moment, she was facing herself sideways, her tone was cold and flat, and her eyes reflected a glittering pearl, but she revealed a kind of almost deathly coldness, as if she didn't care about the life and death of others.

Mu Linglu was silent for a long time, softly bent the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "How can it be useless?" As long as you open your mouth, Your Majesty will definitely agree. As long as you open your mouth, don't say that it is the law of the country, even if it is the world, he will not take it seriously. Everyone in Chaoyan knows that His Majesty destroyed Jiuqiu and forced Baili Ningyan to enter the palace as a concubine, but he alone spared the child in your womb......"

Qing Ling turned around abruptly, "What did you say?" ”

The two knelt and stood and looked at each other, their expressions panicked.

There was movement outside the hall, and the guards in heavy armor hurriedly stepped inside, opened the door of the inner bed, and bowed to stand on both sides.

Shicai was afraid of Mu Linglu's identity as a palace concubine, and didn't dare to make too much of it, and now that he received the imperial order, the two forbidden soldiers stepped forward and dragged Mu Linglu out, mercilessly.

Qing Ling was about to say something to stop her, but when she saw Mu Chen striding in, she stared at Mu Linglu coldly, and ordered someone to escort her back to the dormitory.

And all the others withdrew.

Qing Ling still maintained his previous position, half on his side, his fingers slowly caressing the drape.

Mu Chen walked in towards her, and called softly tentatively: "Qingling." ”

Qing Ling's fingers wrenched into the curtain, whispered "um", and then asked in a flat tone, "You destroyed Jiuqiu?" ”

Mu Chen stopped and did not answer.

Qingling asked again: "You want to marry Ning Yan?" ”

Mu Chen was still silent.

The soft silver light of the sea mussel lamp stretched the figures of the two to pieces.

After many years, he is no longer a sad man under the pear blossom tree, and she is no longer an innocent girl hiding in the dark to snoop.

He stands above all living beings and looks down on the world. Between words and deeds, he unconsciously became more and more like his father.

Stern, cold, and thoughtful, it is impossible to pry on.

But she knows him best.

After so many years of love and hatred, those many times of life and death, each other's marks are carved into the blood and bones, how can you not be familiar with and understand?

Qing Ling chuckled lightly and raised his hand to stroke his abdomen, "Then how long do you plan to keep this child in my womb?" ”

Mu Chen looked at her for a moment.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "The Luo clan is exterminated, and the dragons of the Nine Hills have no leader, I can't let them fight among themselves, and let the traitors have a chance to make a comeback." Mu Han fled to Nanlu, and if he returned one day, he would inevitably take Jiuqiu. So Jiuqiu, I have to control it. ”

Qing Ling was silent for a moment, and his tone softened slightly, "Luo's seal, didn't I hand it over to Ning Yan?" Can't she control Jiuqiu for you? ”

"The matter of Zhangyao Palace, so that the courtiers of Jiuqiu are also suspicious and jealous of the Baili clan, how can they honestly obey the dispatch of Baili Ningyan? You've seen what kind of people those courtiers are. ”

The cursing of Chi Wangqi and the others was still clear in their ears, and Qing Ling naturally knew what kind of people they were......

She closed her eyes, and then opened them again, and the person slowly turned to Mu Chen, "What about Ning Yan?" Jiuqiu is already yours, why do you want to marry her? You obviously know that she and Chun Yuyan have reached the point of talking about marriage! ”

Mu Chen looked at Qing Ling, only to see that her eyes flashed with resentment and anger, just like many years ago, stubborn and resolute, questioning why he wanted to marry An Huaiyu.

At that time, she still loved him, right?

Angry and hateful, he said something that deliberately stinged him, but his eyes were clearly about to cry......

If at this moment, she came up with the same reason and asked herself not to marry Baili Ningyan, would he, secretly happy, agree to her without hesitation?

Wisps of emotion fill my heart, heavy, but ethereal and almost illusory......

Mu Chen approached Qingling, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to help her, and his tone was gentle and almost humble, "Can you sit down and talk about it?" You can't be angry. ”

Qing Ling vigorously pushed him away and sneered, "Tudu? Is what he says credible? Didn't he do your bidding to kill the child in my womb in the beginning? ”
