Xihe stood up in disbelief, his hand unconsciously touching his flat lower abdomen. The complexion on his face gradually changed from dazed to happy, and slowly became a thick worry.

She reached out and leaned against the handle of the seat behind her, "Houqing, you are still my minister, are you?"

Hou Qing looked at her eyes, whenever her eyes bloomed with such a light and such determination, he knew what decision she had in her heart, and this kind of decision had only appeared in that Protoss war a long time ago.

He nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”

Anyone in this world will betray you, except me.

"I know you've seen Ziyin. I want you to surrender to him and gain his trust. I want to know his strength, and I want to know who he is. ”

Hou Qing thought for a while and said, "As long as you want me to do it, I will go." But God, you must not have this child. Got it?"

Facing Hou Qing's burning eyes, Xi He dodged a little. She didn't dare to look at Hou Qing, and replied a little hesitantly, "I ......"

In fact, not only Houqing understands, but Xihe also understands. It is wisest to give up this child. However, this child was his and hers' child. Emotions and reason collide violently in the mind. Xihe admits that she hesitated.

She has always been decisive in killing, but when faced with her emotions, she hesitated.

She still remembered that Ji Ziyang had hugged her in his arms more than once and whispered in her ear, "Xihe, I want a child." ”

This is his expectation, and it is also her expectation.

But the child chose the wrong time and the wrong mother.

So it's a tough choice.

"You have to understand your situation!" Hou Qing raised his voice, his emotions were a little out of control, and he actually grasped Xihe's wrist.

"When the children of the Protoss are in the mother's body, they can only grow up by absorbing the vitality of the mother's body. If this child is really born, most of the divine power you have just recovered will almost be consumed. At that time, what will you use to fight Ziyin, and what will you use to protect your own children?"

"Do you really want to give up everything you have, even your own life, for Ji Ziyang!"

Hou Qing had never been so excited, and Xi He's wrist was red from being grabbed by him. Xi He shook off his hand, slapped Hou Qing's face with his backhand, and scolded angrily, "This is my business!"

At this moment, both of them were stunned.

This was the first time in many years that there had been such a conflict between their kings and ministers.

After a while, Xihe and Houqing each regained their composure. Xihe sat down and held his forehead with one hand. In the end, he sighed slightly, "I will think about the child's affairs." Give me some time to calm down. Ziyin's matter, the sooner the better, if there is any news that is inconvenient for you to come to report in person, let the ghost car replace it. ”

Hou Qing nodded, did not speak again, just hugged his hands and retired.

Xihe's body was a little uncomfortable, her mind was disordered, and she had never felt so helpless. She leaned back, her eyes closed slightly.

The Taiji diagram is a chaos, without light, like a void. Just like the beginning of Hongmeng, Xihe walked in and felt the emptiness and loneliness from ancient times that were all around him.

This is in Ji Ziyang's dream.

It turned out that in the dream, he stayed in the Taiji diagram.

Xihe walked in this chaos endlessly, and I don't know how long it took for her to come to a pool of water. She walked in slowly, and saw Ji Ziyang taking a nap in the grass.

He was dressed in clean white. A man lay there quietly.

Xihe approached step by step, and she leaned down and looked at him carefully. She tried to take his hand, but she forced her into his dream, and it was just an illusion. Not even his skin could be touched.

"Ziyang, we have children. ”

"You know what? We have kids. ”

"But. Xihe lowered his head, put his hand on his lower abdomen, and his words were full of grievances, "We can't, I have to give up on him." I know you're going to blame me, but there's no way, I'm sorry......"

"Perhaps, we are really in love in this life. ”

Although he knew that Ji Ziyang couldn't hear it, Xihe was still talking to himself. She sighed softly, unaware that an illusory tear had fallen. She smiled wryly, probably only when she was a phantom could she really shed tears.

She got up and walked away.

Ji Ziyang in the back opened his eyes faintly, and he looked around blankly. He suddenly clutched his chest, not knowing why his heart ached. Tears slowly slipped out of the corners of his eyes, Ji Ziyang reached out and wiped them, but the difference in his heart was unresolved.

Xi He opened his eyes. She let out a long sigh and made a decision.

"Ran Ji, pass on my order. All the areas under the jurisdiction of Xuandu will pay tribute to the purest vitality to the emperor every day in the future. ”

Xihe's voice was cold, so cold that Ran Ji shivered slightly. Ran Ji nodded slightly, "My subordinates will go." ”

A voice came from the door, and Xihe raised his eyes, "Why are you back again?"

"When I first took your pulse, you were in poor health. I couldn't put it at ease, so I'll come back and see. Hou Qing replied, "However, when I first came here, I heard your order to Ran Ji, and I knew that you had made a decision. ”

"Hmm. Xihe nodded.

Hou Qing's heart calmed down, "That's why I've been unswervingly following you." You've always been like that, and you've never disappointed. You've always been like this, cold-hearted and cold-hearted. ”

"I thought you were going to keep this kid anyway. I didn't expect you to do this, forcibly stripping her from her mother in half of her pregnancy, and she died and died. It also collects pure vitality from all over the place, gives the fetus enough nutrients, and reduces its own damage. Xi He's approach made Hou Qing not know whether it was a happy event.

"You know I don't have a choice. This kid couldn't have come at a better time. If she didn't, she wouldn't have even the slightest hope of surviving. If I'm emotional, being replaced will be a given. I, his father, and the whole world will perish. ”

"I guess that's my fate. I can't be a worthy wife, I can't be a worthy mother. All my life, I have lived for my mission. Live for the dignity of a god. ”

Hou Qing couldn't bear to see her sad look, so he stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder. said, "Although I'm jealous. But I have to say, he's good, and so are you. Your children must be very good, too. Don't worry, Lord. ”

"I'm not worried. Xihe stood up, even though his heart ached, he still spoke indifferently, "My Xihe's child, if I can't even stand this little suffering, I won't be qualified to survive." ”
