Chapter 54: The Emperor of the Mad Demons
Ji Jinglian had a dream, dreaming back to the past.
Ji Jinglian saw the queen mother sitting calmly in the burning dormitory, looking back and smiling at her, but there were tears in her eyes, Ji Jinglian had never seen such a desperate look in the queen mother's eyes.
Seven-year-old Ji Jinglian cried to find her mother, crying for her mother to hug, but the palace maids stopped her.
Ji Mingyu rushed into the fire like crazy, wanting to grab the hand of the beautiful woman, but what he stretched out his hand and grabbed was only the phantom of the fire, Ji Mingyu screamed wildly, knelt on the ground weakly, looked at everything he had grasped in his hands, and kept saying: "Sister, you are so cruel, you can't bear to leave me alone." β
Ji Jinglian looked at his father indifferently, there was no pity in his eyes, if it wasn't for his father who favored those beauties and snubbed his mother, how could she be so desperate?
At that time, Ji Jingchuan secretly swore that in the future, the person she sincerely entrusted could only love her, and she could only be alone.
After the queen mother left, the father and emperor got drunk all day long, ignored the government for many days, locked himself in the dormitory all day long, occasionally saw her, hugged her, and then kept calling the queen mother's name, and then said sorry.
Ji Jinghuan hates such a father, but he hates his inability to protect his mother.
When Ji Jinglian walked out of the main hall, the princes were kneeling outside the hall, begging their father to forgive their mother, at that time, Ji Jinglian did not know that his father was going to kill all the concubines and princesses in the harem. At that time, Ji Jinglian just looked at the hateful eyes of her brothers, and hatred was like a fire that could burn her alive.
Later, the palace maid cried and ran to the dormitory, woke up Ji Jinglian, and cried and said that the emperor was crazy and wanted to kill all the people in the harem, Ji Jinglian knew that his father wanted the whole world to bury his mother, Ji Jinglian's eyes were low, if the queen mother was still alive, knowing that his father loved her like this, should he be heartbroken or relieved?
How ridiculous?
That day, Nangong Muxue ran to hug her, crying and said, "Don't be afraid, princess, I will always be with you in the future until I redeem all my sins." β
ββ
"Father, father, don't leave Juan'er, don't leave Juan'er alone."
Ji Jinglian cried and shouted, and when she woke up from her dream, Xuan Lingji was holding her hand, hugging her and saying, "Don't be afraid, this king is here." β
Ji Jinglian hugged Xuan Lingji and said, "Lingji, I'm so scared, don't you leave me, okay?" β
Ji Jinglian's eyelashes were stained with tears, and the little face with tears in his eyes made Xuan Lingji feel distressed, and Xuan Lingji said: "This king will not leave you in this life." β
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed outside the window, and Ji Jingchuan said vigilantly: "Who? β
At this time, a man in black broke in, but knelt down in front of them, and said, "Princess, it's me!" β
Ji Jingchuan said suspiciously: "Dongfang, haven't you already left with Ruoyin?" β
Dongfang Zhanyun took off the mask and said: "Ruoyin was taken away, it was my fault to break into the palace alone, Aunt Mu Xue really didn't kill me, ask the princess to save Ruoyin." β
Xuan Lingji said sharply: "Why should we believe what you say? β
"I believe him, Aunt Mu Xue committed suicide." Ji Jingchuan said: "Aunt Mu Xue is not surnamed Nangong, her surname is Feng Wu, she was a beauty sent by the Feng Wu family to confuse her father, and later, Aunt Mu Xue stayed by my side to assist in order to atone for her sins. β
Xuan Lingji looked at Ji Jinglian in surprise and asked, "Feng Wu?" β
Ji Jinglian said: "That's right, Queen Fengwu Qingfeng was originally from Mingjiang, but later, she defected to Longyu Country and became the current queen mother. β
Dongfang Zhanyun said: "Princess, I have been visiting for many days and found that Ruoyin was imprisoned by the emperor in the Xuanji Pavilion, and I begged Her Royal Highness the princess to save Ruoyin. β
Ji Jinglian said: "Why did the emperor arrest Ruoyin? β
Dongfang Zhanyun said: "I don't know, I can't go deep into the Xuanji Pavilion, I can only come to ask Her Royal Highness for help. β
Xuan Lingji took Ji Jinglian's hand and said, "Zhuan'er, don't act rashly first, wait for this king to enter the palace tomorrow to check it out, and then make plans." β
Ji Jinglian could only nod, but he was uneasy.
βThe next dayβ
Ji Jinglian did not wait for Xuanlingji, but first infiltrated the Xuanji Pavilion with Dongfang Zhanyun to find Ruoyin's whereabouts, and there was no guard in the Xuanji Pavilion on this trip, and the scene was too calm to make Ji Jinglian suspicious.
Dongfang Zhanyun was about to go deeper, but was suddenly stopped by Ji Jinglian, "The situation is not right, let's go back quickly." β
Dongfang Zhanyun said anxiously: "No, I must see Ruoyin today, I'm worried that something will happen to Ruoyin." β
As he spoke, Dongfang Zhanyun suddenly touched the dark grid, and a secret room suddenly appeared in front of them, and Ruoyin was tied up in the secret room, but he was covered in blood, and he had been tortured, Dongfang Zhanyun ran over in distress, but he didn't dare to touch her, Ruoyin was covered in bruises, and it would hurt her wherever he touched it.
"Ruoyin, I'm sorry, I'm late." Dongfang Zhanyun untied the rope and hugged Ruoyin.
Ji Jinglian's eyes were full of anger, "Who hurt you like this?" β
"It's me!"
Long Xuanji and Xuan Lingji suddenly walked out, surrounded by secret guards, Ji Jingjian realized that she had been fooled, but she didn't expect that Xuan Lingji would stand by Long Xuanji's side.
Ji Jinghuan roared angrily: "Ruoyin is just a little girl, why do you want to treat her like this? β
Long Xuanji sneered and said, "If I don't ask her, how will I know the whereabouts of the witchcraft cheats?" β
Ji Jinghuan said fiercely: "Didn't you give you all the witchcraft cheats? β
Hearing this, Xuan Lingji was surprised and said, "It turns out that you already know that the person behind all this is your father?" β
Ji Jingjuan said with red eyes: "No, I didn't know until today, it turns out that I believe you love you, but you have been calculating me, but I don't care about the identity of Empress Mingjiang at all, I don't care about any witchcraft cheats, if you want, I will give it to you, but why do you still want to catch Ruoyin, do you know, you are so right to Ruoyin, you will regret it one day." β
Xuan Lingji said: "Juan'er, this king never wanted to harm you, but just wanted to get the witchcraft cheats and half of the tiger talisman in your hand. β
Long Xuanji suddenly said fiercely: "Ling Ji, I told you that Ji Jinglian came to Longyu Country this time not for marriage, but for revenge, but I hurt her so much that her family was almost ruined, but she may not let you go if you let her go!" β
Ji Jinghuan laughed and said, "Haha, Long Xuanji, you are really ridiculous, do you think I am the same person as you?" I already knew what you did back then, but I wouldn't do that, because before my mother died, she took me by the hand and forced me to swear that I would never avenge her, and my mother wanted me to live a safe and happy life. β
Long Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your mother is indeed a good woman, and she gave birth to a smart daughter like you, but unfortunately, after all, your father can't stand her, I used the Fengwu family to get the witchcraft cheats, but I didn't want Han'er to know about it, he actually wanted to snatch the witchcraft cheats, in desperation, I had to kill my son, although Han'er hid the witchcraft cheats in the Xuanji Pavilion, but I still found it, and I couldn't solve the above method of immortality, so when you Ji Jinglian wanted to marry into the Dragon Feather Kingdom, I set up a game for you, led you into the Xuanji Pavilion, but I didn't want to, it turned out that the witchcraft cheats in my hands turned out to be written by you, perhaps, only you, Ji Jinglian, could help me crack the witchcraft cheats. β
Long Xuanji already had killing intent in his eyes, and Xuan Lingji immediately blocked in front of Ji Jinglian, and said: "Father, give Erchen a little more time, Erchen will definitely let Zhuan'er tell him the method of refining the elixir of life, and ask Father to let Lian'er go." β
Long Xuanji said sharply: "Anyone who knows this secret today doesn't want to leave here alive, especially her Ji Jinglian!" β
Ji Jingjian sneered and said: "Long Xuanji, the tiger talisman is on me, I know the secrets of the witchcraft cheats, you let Ruoyin and Dongfang go, I will stay to help you, otherwise, with the martial arts of this princess, do you think these people can stop me?" β
Suddenly, Ji Jinglian felt that his internal strength was slackening, and his whole body knelt on the ground weakly, Ji Jinglian suddenly realized that something was wrong and looked at Xuan Lingji, "You, you poisoned me?" β
Xuan Lingji hurriedly supported Ji Jingjian and said, "Lian'er, I didn't mean it. β
Long Xuanji said with a smile: "Ji Jinglian, your martial arts are known all over the world, and it will naturally take a lot of effort to deal with you, so I let Ling Er poison your diet every day, and you actually drank it defenselessly, it seems that since you and Ling Er got married, you are really affectionate, didn't your father tell you not to fall in love with a man, otherwise you will be doomed?" β
"Father, please don't say anything." Xuan Lingji looked at Ji Jinglian, and said helplessly: "Lian'er, I'm sorry, your martial arts are too high, this king can only do this, you can rest assured, this king will protect you, as long as you hand over the witchcraft cheats and tiger talismans, this king will ensure that you are thorough." β
Ji Jinglian smiled bitterly and said: "Haha~ Xuan Lingji, it turns out that you used your feelings to deceive me just to get these things, you said I would give it to you, why bother?" β
Ji Jinghuan sneered and took out the tiger talisman, but Dongfang Zhanyun walked over and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess can't!" β
Suddenly, Feng Wu Qingfeng appeared behind Long Xuanji, put a dagger on Long Xuanji's neck, and said fiercely: "Let Ruoyin go, otherwise this palace will kill you!" β
Long Xuanji was startled, his eyes were lost, "Even you want to betray me?" β
Feng Wu Qingfeng sneered and said: "Long Xuanji, you have already betrayed your relatives and left, the palace has long united with the Yunxia Kingdom, and now Duyun Yuyu is leading people and horses to attack the palace, I don't know if what you want now is immortality, or your country?" β
Long Xuanji was furious and said, "Fengwu Qingfeng, do you know that I want to live forever with you?" I didn't expect you to hate me so much and want to kill me? β
Feng Wu Qingfeng cried and shouted, "You forced me, why did you hurt Ruoyin?" β
Long Xuanji said: "The method recorded in the witchcraft secret book, refining the elixir of life requires the body of ten thousand poisons as a guide, and the blood of the Ming Jiang royal family is a sacrifice, Ji Jinglian and Ruoyin are the best candidates, none of them want to leave today!" β
Long Xuanji said that, he suddenly hit Feng Wu Qingfeng fiercely, snatched her dagger and stabbed Ruoyin, Dongfang Zhanyun immediately made a move to resist, and he was unexpectedly defeated by half of Long Xuanji's strength.
Seeing that Ruoyin was about to have an accident, Ji Jinglian couldn't help but rush over, but she just knelt on the ground weakly and shouted: "Don't kill her, I beg you to let Ruoyin go, Ruoyin is your biological daughter!" β
The dagger stopped on Ruoyin's neck, Ruoyin opened her eyes slightly, and she woke up a little, but she was tormented by the pain all over her body.
Long Xuanji looked at Ji Jingjian in surprise and asked, "What did you say?" β
