Stepson, of course.

Now counted, Ying Xun should be sixteen years old this year.

She was ten years old when she met him in her last life. And the year she died, the child was eight years old.

At the age when she got married, it was really impossible for her to have such a big son.

And she didn't have the interest of stealing other people's sons, and her stepchild relationship with Ying Xun was written on the royal family genealogy.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Ying Baoyue opened the curtain of the carriage, and finally looked at the palace that was getting farther and farther behind him.

This palace where so much has happened.

This, the palace where she met that person and that person's son.

Ying Xun is indeed not her parent, but she is the child she personally received into this world.

The day he was born was also the day she and Yingsu first met.

……

……

Ying Baoyue still remembers that day.

It was the first day in her life when she felt powerless.

Sixteen years ago, when she was ten years old in her previous life. That year coincided with the establishment of Guiyang, the capital of Emperor Ying, and not long after the construction of the Afang Palace, Xirong outside the Great Wall of Eternal Night launched a large-scale attack when the Qin State was initially set to rejuvenate.

Before the newborn empire could celebrate, it was suddenly swept into a raging storm.

Emperor Ying drove to the Great Wall of Eternal Night with his master, and the emperor's eldest son, Ying Su, was left behind to supervise the country. Although she also wanted to go to the battlefield at that time, the master left her in the newly established Imperial Prayer Province on the grounds that she was not in the realm enough, and asked her to guard this place and maintain order in the palace.

For a while, the people in the huge Afang Palace were panicked, and the eldest son of the emperor was guarding the previous dynasty, and what she needed was to stay in the Imperial Prayer Province every day without moving.

In the event of a fierce battle, in fact, it is not only the front line that is dangerous, but also the rear.

In the face of Xi Rong's desperate bet, Daqin's top combat power at that time almost poured out, and in the huge Afang Palace, the highest-ranking cultivator was actually ten years old.

Although the enemy's high-level cultivators were also fighting on the front line at that time, and there was no spare strength to sneak attack the rear, a large number of middle-level cultivators who specialized in assassination were also enough for the Great Qin Imperial Palace.

Ying Baoyue didn't know how much pressure there was at that time, but even in one night, she had to repel more than a dozen waves of attacks from all walks of life in the back court.

At that time, the Imperial Prayer Province hid the maps of the Great Qin and the Taizu Codex that had not yet been delivered to the vassal states, which was the foundation of the entire Qin Empire and the Taizu cultivation system, and became the target of public criticism for a while.

Fortunately, the master set up a number of formations and enchantments in the palace before leaving, and she has stayed in the sixth level for five years since she awakened at the age of five, and her strength is far better than that of those in the same realm, and together with the other remaining peak immortal officials, she can barely hold on.

However, the battle on the border of Daqin and Xirong was carried out on the fifteenth day.

In the Afang Palace, there was still an accident.

……

……

That day, after she had just spent the night with the immortal officials who had stayed behind in the Imperial Prayer Province repelled the invasion of a total of sixteen waves of earth-level cultivators, and returned to the Imperial Prayer Province exhausted.

She dismissed the other tired and paralyzed immortals and told them to go back to sleep, and one of them guarded the Quartet with true qi, and she had been living in the hall of the Imperial Prayer Province for those days, just as she returned to the hall to change her sweat and blood-soaked dress.

There was a creak, and her door was slammed open, and she turned back to see a bloody man.

That's it.

A man covered in blood broke into the Province of Imperial Prayer.

Because he didn't have the aura of a cultivator on his body, she didn't notice it for a while, but now that she thinks about it, the two of them were at the same limit at that time.

Her true yuan was exhausted, and he was exhausted.

The man broke into the Imperial Prayer Province and was stunned the moment he saw her.

The two of them looked at each other with blood all over their bodies.

That was the first time she and Yingsu met.

At that time, although she and Yingsu both knew each other's names and existences, at most they only glanced at each other from a distance during the Great Dynasty Meeting and did not know each other.

The stunned man in front of him was only for a short moment, his chest rose and fell and he gasped, obviously rushing wildly, and the next moment he saw his blood-red eyes staring at her, trembling and speaking.

"I heard that there is a ...... here. Rank 6 Immortal Officials ......"

Ying Baoyue didn't know him at the time, just looked at him and replied instinctively.

"I am."

Then she watched, and the man in front of her looked at her and was stunned again.

Probably like those invaders, no one could have guessed that it was only a ten-year-old girl who was holding on to the Great Qin Imperial Prayer Province these days.

But at this time, Ying Baoyue had already guessed his identity based on his age and appearance.

After all, there are few men in this palace except for the guards.

If you can break through the master's formation and get here unimpeded, you can only be a descendant of the Ying clan who has the protection of the master's magic.

The eldest son of the emperor, Yingsu.

Ying Baoyue didn't expect her to meet him for the first time in such a scene, and looking at the man covered in blood, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

Ying Su looked at the young girl in front of her, and the rumors she had heard before surged in her mind, "Are you the ...... The apprentice of the National Teacher? ”

Ying Baoyue nodded, and then watched the man in front of him clench his fists and bow his head to a ten-year-old girl.

"I am the emperor's eldest son, Yingsu, and I ask the master of the country to be a high apprentice......"

The anxious man spoke like he was crying blood.

"Help."

……

……

On that day, Ying Baoyue learned that when Ying Su was withstanding all the pressure in the previous dynasty, his only wife, the pregnant eldest princess, was also on the verge of giving birth.

The emperor's eldest son, Yingsu, was a strange man, and when she first met him, he was already twenty years old before welcoming his first child.

At that time, the world was absolutely late marriage and late childbearing, and the most obvious contrast was that his younger brother Ying Hao, who was four years younger than him, was one year old at that time.

When Ying Hanri was born, because he was the eldest grandson, he was directly named by Emperor Taizu with the word "day", and there was a lot of shock in the court at that time.

Not long after Ying Hanri was born, Ying Su finally got engaged and married a daughter of a Southern Chu family.

Ying Baoyue had never seen the eldest princess of the emperor who married from Nan Chuyuan before.

She never imagined that when she saw that woman, it would be when the woman's life was coming to an end.

Blood.

Endless blood.

When Ying Baoyue hurriedly followed Ying Su to the dormitory and stood at the door, he saw that kind of scene.

At that time, she finally understood why Yingsu was covered in blood.

That's not his blood.

Ying Su trembled and held on to the door frame, countless subordinates and imperial doctors knelt in the courtyard, lying on the ground and did not dare to move, and she stood at the door like this, watching the gurgling blood flow to her feet.

Meandering, with the woman's lost life and endless despair.

After Ying Su broke into the Imperial Prayer Province, a large number of guards shouted for His Highness to chase after him, and Ying Baoyue never understood how Ying Su, who was only ten ranks, could run faster than the military attaché.

And when she looked at the woman struggling in a pool of blood on the bed, in the trembling confession of the doctor next to her, Ying Baoyue finally understood what was happening.

Everything collided together.

In the early morning of this day, the eldest princess of the emperor, who was about to give birth, drank a soup handed by a strange palace maid, and her poisonous hair caused a blood collapse on the spot.

The doctors have tried all their means to be powerless, and the diagnosis is imminent.

One corpse, two lives.
