"What, what do you mean?" Lin Wanrong stammered, his heart was pounding, his face was flushed, and he felt that the whole person did not belong to him. Crazy, the old emperor is crazy!

"What you think in your heart, that's what it means." The old emperor coughed lightly, his pale face was flushed, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Ping, take the portrait!" ”

Outside the door, Grandpa Gao hurriedly pushed the door in, holding a picture scroll in both hands, respectfully handed it to Lin Wanrong, and hurriedly retreated. Lin Wanrong was holding the picture scroll in her hand, but she was full of doubts in her heart, the old man hadn't explained it clearly, why did he get to the portrait again.

"Open it and take a look." The old emperor covered his mouth and nose, coughed hard, looked at him slowly, and spoke.

"What is this?" Lin Wanrong asked cautiously, the old emperor is full of weirdness today, it is better to ask clearly before opening it.

"I told you to open it, and you opened it, and you said anything." The old emperor snorted heavily, a gleam shot out of his eyes, and said impatiently.

Seeing that you are a patient and don't care about you, Lord Lin comforted himself, slowly spread out the scroll, but saw a beautiful woman jumping on the paper. He was taken aback and said, "Xian'er?!! ”

The old emperor's eyes closed slightly: "You can see it clearly, who is she?!" Lin Wanrong looked carefully at the woman on the painting, and saw that she looked very similar to Xian'er, and even her demeanor was seven points similar, but she seemed to be older, thinking of the picture scroll that she saw in Xian'er's house in Longquan Village, Hangzhou, he suddenly realized: "It's not Xian'er, this is Xian'er's mother, it's Concubine Qin!" ”

The old emperor nodded lightly and sighed, "You are right, she is Concubine Qin." In this life, although I am a person with dignity. But God treats me very harshly, I have two sons and three daughters, and the two princes were plotted at a young age, and among the three princesses, Nishang has been separated from me since childhood, and she suffers the most——"

Princess Nishang is a fairy, remembering that when the old emperor was in crisis in the past, he pulled Concubine Qin in front of him to resist the assassin, Lin Wanrong was very contemptuous in his heart. But from the perspective of his status as the Dahua Emperor, he is responsible for the safety of the world. Everyone else can die, but he must survive, Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say, so he sighed slightly.

"Things are not as you think." The emperor seemed to see through his thoughts, and a trace of anger rose on his face: "It is a person with a heart who sincerely poured sewage on me, and wanted to turn me into a cruel and violent king who did not recognize his relatives." I am the Emperor of Dahua who dominates the world, and I will not frown in the army of 10,000 people, and Concubine Qin gave birth to Princess Nishang for me. But my dearest, how can I use her against the sword? ”

Seeing that the old emperor's angry beard was trembling, Lin Wanrong was confused. Looking at the old emperor's appearance, it doesn't look like he's telling a lie, could it be that Xian'er made a mistake? It's not right, Xian'er said that what she saw with her own eyes, what a glorious thing it is to have such a father who is the emperor, if there is no thing that she hates, Xian'er will never go with Sister An.

"Old man, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become." Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "What you and Xian'er said seems to be true, I really can't tell the difference." Didn't Concubine Qin die for you? ”

"It's true that Concubine Qin died for me, but it was her own volition." The emperor coughed sharply a few times, his face was flushed, but there was clarity in his eyes: "The day of the death of the emperor in the past was also the time when King Cheng was in turmoil, and on that day I was assassinated and attacked, and my body was seriously damaged. After ascending to the throne for several years, I gradually became cold to the harem concubines. Nishang is my youngest daughter, she was only a few years old at that time, and she was born with a pink carved jade, like a porcelain doll, I don't love concubines and beauties, but I love the two youngest daughters very much. ”

The youngest of the two daughters, one is Xian'er, and who is the other? Lin Wanrong was puzzled, and was about to open her mouth to ask, but the old man glared at him: "Don't intervene first, wait for me to finish." He paused, calmed his breath and continued: "Because of the relationship between Ni Shang, I often get together with Concubine Qin. At the beginning, Concubine Qin was also very happy, thinking that I loved her a lot, until a long time later, but found that I was no longer favored by her, and I suddenly felt resentful in my heart, coupled with the struggle and dumping between the harem concubines, she was a weak woman born in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, ** conspiracy is naturally not her opponent, so she is in a trance from time to time. ”

Lin Wanrong nodded, this is not impossible, Xian'er's mother was born in Jiangnan and grew up on the lakeside, her temperament should be as gentle as water, naturally she can't adapt to the deception in the palace, and it is not impossible for her to change her to depression after a long-term depressed life.

"On that day, I and her mother and daughter were enjoying the flowers in the flower circle, but suddenly an assassin broke in, and Concubine Qin was in a hurry, so she actually blocked me with her body, and when Nishang turned around, she only saw the assassin's sword piercing her mother's body." The old emperor's eyes were filled with a faint mist, and his expression was silent, as if he was immersed in the situation of the day.

"Poor girl." Think about a little girl who is ignorant and ignorant of the world, seeing her mother lying in her father's arms with blood flowing down, what kind of heartbroken and desperate picture is this, no wonder Xian'er and her mother's temperament are diametrically opposed, who can still maintain the original innocence and innocence after being stimulated by this? Thinking of this, he had a deeper mentality of tolerating her and loving her for Xian'er's rudeness and willfulness.

"You may already know what happened next. Concubine Qin died to save me, Nishang also disappeared that night, and I lost two more relatives overnight. I mobilized all my power to find Princess Nishang, but found nothing. It wasn't until many years later that the White Lotus Sect committed a crime, and I sent someone to secretly investigate the bandit leaders in the sect, but I found that under the seat of the White Lotus Holy Mother, there was a woman named Qin Xian'er, and I knew that it was my neon dress. The emperor's face was full of strong looks, but tears were rolling down his eyes, at this time he looked so lonely and desolate, he was no longer the emperor of Dahua who ruled the world, but a dying old man who had entered his twilight years.

Lin Wanrong looked a little sad, even if this old man is not a lot, but his care for Xian'er is by no means something that can be done by faking, he sighed and said softly: "Old man, then how did you determine that Xian'er is your daughter?" ”

"You don't know about that. Xian'er's mother's surname is Qin, and when I met her in Jiangnan, she had a boudoir name called Xianling! Qin Xianling, Qin Xian'er, looking at her age and appearance, she is the reincarnation of a Qin concubine who is alive, no matter how confused I am, I will not fail to recognize my daughter. A smile appeared on the old emperor's shriveled face, as if he remembered the situation again.

This is also true, just looking at this portrait, you can know how her mother and daughter resemble, and it is naturally not difficult for the old emperor to recognize his daughter at a glance. However, since the old emperor recognized Xian'er, why didn't he recognize him immediately, but it took so long?

The old emperor's eyes were vicious, and he knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "I know what you think." But at that time, Xian'er misunderstood me very deeply, and if I hastily recognized her, it would definitely cause her great disgust. I've lost her once, and I can't afford to lose her a second time. Moreover, she is in the White Lotus Sect, if her identity is exposed, coupled with her misunderstanding of me, it will definitely create an opportunity for those who have a heart to take advantage of. Therefore, I never revealed Xian'er's identity to anyone, but only secretly sent someone to protect it. When you attacked Jining City that day, Xian'er was caught in ten thousand cannons, and when the news came, I wanted to cut off your head. ”

Lin Wanrong was cold, I also said that after the victory, why didn't the emperor mention my merits: "Old man, you can't blame me for this, if you want to blame that Tong Cheng's ill-intentioned intentions, so that Xian'er and I are almost finished." ”

"So, after your subordinate Xu Zhen shot Tong Cheng halfway, King Cheng went to the fold to investigate the responsibility, but I didn't say a word." The emperor snorted coldly, a thick murderous aura flashed in his eyes, his eyes fell on the picture scroll held by Lin Wanrong, and when he saw Concubine Qin's gentle appearance, his eyes gradually softened: "After Concubine Qin died, I sealed her dormitory, and no one was allowed to step into it." While picking up her belongings, I stumbled upon a letter. ”

"What is written in the letter?" Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Is it for Xian'er?" ”

"You're a little smart, but my Concubine Qin isn't bad." The emperor smiled bitterly and sighed: "She was born in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was originally a beautiful woman of Zhong Lingyu, but she was trapped in the palace, her heart was full of troubles, and she was extremely in love with me, so she would not hesitate to block the sword for me." She was worried that her actions would make Xian'er and me turn against me, so she deliberately left a letter to enlighten her. Xian'er didn't even see the shadow of this letter, and disappeared that night. It was decades before the letter fell into the hands of Xian'er. ”

Lin Wanrong was silent for a while, it's better to be late than never, I believe that Xian'er will read her mother's letter, and her hatred for the old emperor will be reduced, but if she can forgive him, then maybe. "Old man, where is Xian'er, where is it now?!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly asked.

"You promise me one thing first, and I'll tell you." The old emperor said with a solemn expression.

"Promise, promise, I promise everything, old man, say it quickly." Lin Wanrong thought of Xian'er and said anxiously.

"You have to promise me to love and take care of Xian'er for the rest of your life, can you do it?" A flash of gleam flashed in the old emperor's eyes, and he raised his voice and asked.

"If you can do it, you will do it."

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you can bow down to Xian'er." ”

The old man wants me to visit the church with Xian'er? Really, why are you in such a hurry, it's not too late to find Xian'er and worship again! Seeing that the old emperor's eyes were like torches, and his face was full of determination, he had to hold the portrait of Xian'er and slowly knelt down.

The emperor spoke: "If I say a word, you will say a word." I, Lin Wanrong, volunteered to marry Princess Nishang—"

"I, Lin Wanrong, volunteered—to marry Princess Nishang—" Lin Wanrong followed honestly.

The old emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he continued softly: "——Become a brother and sister!" ”
