The heart burns like fire.

It had been two days since I woke up, and when I saw the familiar sight in front of me, I knew that I had returned to Sakuragu Palace.

At the edge of the bed, Holma was lying deep asleep beside me, and seeing his haggard face, I knew that he was worrying about my body all night long.

I lightly covered a blanket on Holma's back, and then got up and came to the window of the dormitory, it has only been half a year since the last time I cultivated to the seventh level of the super holy spirit, and I broke through the cultivation again, unlike in the past, my cultivation is not the eighth level after the breakthrough, but the tenth level, counting the Burke who exchanged his life for cultivation, so far, each of the three major races has a person who has a full-level super holy spirit cultivator. Coming back from the Nanxi World, although I didn't get all the things I wanted to know, I accidentally learned the whereabouts of Xingge, Netherworld Canyon, what kind of place is that? If it's a place where even Mengxi can't get through, then Xingge ...... I don't dare to think about it anymore.

A few snow cherry blossoms floated in from the window, and I was about to reach for them, but I accidentally knocked over a vase on the windowsill, and the sound of the vase breaking on the ground woke up Holma from her sleep.

"King!" Holma stood up from the bed, and when he saw me by the window, he could not hide the joy in his heart for a moment, "King, are you awake......

I smiled at him and said, "Holma, I'm fine, and you're worried about me again." ”

"What the king said, your safe return is more important than anything else!" Holma said excitedly, and after calming down, Holma asked about what happened that day, "We found you on the shore of Crescent Lake, what happened to you in the Nanxi World?" ”

"I've seen the Snow Sakura Elf, but we've only been talking for three minutes...... "I said, I don't plan to tell anyone about my level 10 super spirit cultivation for the time being.

"But ......"

"No, it's all my fault." I chuckled and said, "By the way, I vaguely remember that on the shore of Crescent Lake, the first person to find me was a young man, and if I guessed correctly, that person should be the Xijing you have been looking for." ”

Holma nodded, "Yes, Xijing has been living in seclusion in Crescent Valley all these years, if it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid we would have spent more time looking for him!" ”

……

On the same day, I returned to Ni Yuan, two days passed, the new assessment of the Qixi Pavilion has ended, and in the admission list, I saw the sword master named Chiba, who passed the assessment with the sixth place and officially became the seventy-eighth member of the Qixi Pavilion.

After Xijing was recovered, Queen Xinlan was by her son's side day and night, and Xichen came to visit her brother every once in a while, everything seemed to be complete, but every time I saw Xichen, I always remembered the picture I saw in Xuefeng's memory.

In order to understand the mystery in the happiness, I found Queen Xinlan again, and when she heard that I inquired about the background of the two princes of Anxing and the whereabouts of the former prince Ang, Xinlan was silent for a long time.

"I had no intention of meddling in Anxing's affairs, but that day I met Anxing's Prince Xuefeng, and I learned something from him that I didn't know, so I wanted to hear what happened to Anxing over the years."

Seeing that I insisted on knowing what was going on, Xinlan finally stopped hiding it: "Since the king wants to know, I will tell you everything I know, these past events have to start with Xichen's mother, Xichen's mother is called Leng Yan, and she is the eldest princess of Hongyan, the largest country of the Thousand Shadows Clan, no one knows why she suddenly appeared in Niyuan, since King Ziang saw her for the first time, she fell in love with her out of control, and it didn't take long for her to become King Ziang's favorite princess, at that time, I had just been named Queen Anxing, If it weren't for the fact that Anxing's law stipulates that Queen Anxing must be a member of the Thousand Spirit Clan, I'm afraid the position of the queen would have been cold research a long time ago. ”

"And after that?" I asked.

"Not long after Leng Yan became a princess, her children and I were born one after another, but Leng Yan didn't like Xijing, because she was already pregnant before she came to Anxing."

"The child in Leng Yan's womb is Xichen?" I asked.

Xinlan nodded, "King Ziang favors Leng Yan, not only does he not care who Xichen's biological father is, but he also gave him the identity of Prince Anxing after Xichen was born, no one knew about this matter, but when Xichen was two years old, the doctor who delivered Xichen didn't know if it was his conscience or because of other reasons, he actually revealed Xichen's life experience, King Ziang killed the doctor in a fit of rage, and expelled his entire clan from Anxing, I thought this matter was over, but it didn't take long, Rumors began to circulate in the royal city of Niyuan that one of the two princes was not of royal blood. ”

"Anxing people originally valued the bloodline, in order to keep Leng Yan's reputation, King Ziang announced that Xichen was the prince with Anxing bloodline, and Xijing was a child I was pregnant with before I came to get married, I was very sad, so I ran to question King Ziang, but he threatened me and said that if I told the truth, he would imprison me and Xijing for life, for Xijing, I endured all the humiliation, fortunately, King Ziang was very good to the two children, and I also endured this matter!"

"Until six years ago, Leng Yan suddenly received news from the Thousand Shadow Clan, their king Boke threatened Leng Yan with the lives of all the people of the Hongyan royal family, and asked her to kill King Ziang immediately, Leng Yan was very embarrassed, she didn't want to lose her family, and she didn't want to assassinate her husband, Ziang agreed to go to Hongyan with her in order to fulfill Leng Yan, before leaving, Ziang handed over the throne to me, he said that it was compensation for me over the years, and asked me to take care of Xichen and Xijing for them, as for the next crown prince, he said that he actually preferred Xijing in his heart, After all, Xijing is the one who really has the blood of the Anxing royal family, I can't stop them, I can only let them leave, and later, in order to give an explanation to the people, I had to announce to the public that King Ziang died of a sudden serious illness. ”

After listening to Queen Xinlan's words, I realized that An Xing's real situation was actually completely different from what was rumored by the outside world, and Xinlan had never received her husband's complete love.

"What about Ziang, hasn't there been any news since he left?"

Xinlan smiled bitterly, "After he and Leng Yan left, I didn't have any news of him, Hongyan allowed Leng Yan to come back to visit Xichen once a year, but she never told me Ziang's whereabouts, last year, she said she wanted to take Xichen, I didn't agree, although Xichen is not my biological child, but I have always regarded him as a man over the years, in my heart, he is more suitable than Xijing to inherit Anxing's throne, so I'm waiting, I want to wait for him and Ziling to get married, and then officially crown him as Anxing's crown prince!" ”

I shook my head with a light smile, "As far as I know, the first thing to pass when An Xing canonizes the crown prince is the bloodline verification, have you thought about how to explain Xichen's bloodline to all the members of the Anxing royal family when the time comes?" ”

Xinlan sighed lightly and said: "I haven't thought about this matter yet, but I have prepared for the worst, if the members of the royal family do not recognize Xichen's identity, then I will forcibly exercise the queen's rights to push Xichen to the throne." ”

"That's right, this is indeed your right, but have you thought about how Xichen, who was forcibly pushed to the throne, will face An Xing's subjects in the future!"

Xinlan didn't know how to pick up my words, she knew in her heart that Xichen had been the pride of the Anxing royal family since he was a child, if he knew that he didn't have royal blood, he would definitely not be able to accept this fact, and the Anxing royal family would not easily allow a prince of non-royal blood to inherit the throne.

Seeing Queen Xinlan's sad expression, I came behind her and said softly: "Among the major kingdoms of the Thousand Spirit Clan, there are usually two ways for a new king to succeed to the throne, the first way is to inherit by the crown prince who has been ordained in the country, and the second way is to be directly appointed by the King of the Thousand Spirit Clan. ”

When Xinlan heard my words, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Great, the king is planning to appoint Xichen directly..."

I stretched out my hand and made a boo gesture in front of her: "Queen Xinlan, don't get excited, I haven't finished my words yet, if I want Xichen to ascend the throne of Anxing smoothly, I have the conditions!" ”

Queen Xinlan asked with some excitement, "What are the conditions?" As long as I can do it, the king will speak! ”

I smiled indifferently and said, "My conditions are for Xichen, and it has nothing to do with what you do." ”

Xinlan's heart tightened, she didn't know what kind of conditions I would put forward next, but she still firmly believed that with Xichen's ability, she would definitely be able to complete my request, "Please also ask Wang Ming!" Xinlan said in a low voice.

I turned my back to Xin Lan, and then said softly, "Xichen must bring Zi Ang back from the Thousand Shadows Clan within 15 days, and if he does, I will promise you and order him to inherit the throne of An Xing." ”

"15 days? How is this possible..."Xin Lan cried out in a lost voice: "Not to mention that none of us know where King Ziang lives now, whether he is alive or dead, even if he knows, with Xichen's cultivation, how can he bring back a person from the Thousand Shadows Clan in just 15 days, it will kill him!" ”

I smiled lightly, "The queen doesn't have to refuse me so quickly, I will continue to live in the Qixi Pavilion these days, if you think about it, come to me at any time." ”
