Half an hour later, the sound of fighting outside gradually started.

Listening to this strange and familiar voice, I couldn't help but clench the corners of my skirt.

I remember when I was seven years old, it was also in this palace, and I heard the same voice......

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ah Ran's voice was soft, and it made me feel certain.

"Hmm."

I don't know what Ran's plan is, but I trust him completely.

Even if he put himself in danger, he wouldn't let me get into danger.

From time to time, sergeants would come to report on the situation on the front line, and I didn't care, but I could only vaguely hear that the situation was very unfavorable for Yue Xiongqi.

Yue Xiongqi sat alone on the dragon chair, his eyes were gloomy and his face was silent.

He ignored the comments of the courtiers, and only said a few words when the sergeant in front came to the newspaper.

I vaguely felt something strange.

Yue Xiongqi was too calm.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have been, but I have a strong feeling as if he knew this was going to happen.

Less than half an hour passed, and the sergeants who came back to report were more or less colored. And this eye, he fell on the hall without saying a word.

I looked out of the temple door with some confusion. At this moment, there was nothing unusual as far as the eye could see, and if it weren't for the sound of rushing and killing, I wouldn't have imagined that there would be a river of blood flowing outside.

Suddenly, a person seemed to walk under the stone steps outside the hall. For some reason, I subconsciously stood up and wanted to take a closer look.

Then I saw the man.

Ling Niankong's eyes were deep, wearing battle armor, holding the Qingmang Sword, and he strode over.

His chin was stained with blood, but his hair was not messed up at all. He was accompanied by more than a dozen people.

The moment he stepped on the stone steps, there was no longer the apparent peace in front of the palace, and he rushed into the soldiers of both sides who were still fighting.

But Ling Niankong raised his feet and stepped into the hall.

The soldier closest to him shouted: "Idle people, wait, if you don't want to die, get out!" ”

Before the words fell, all the ministers in the palace escaped from the hall one by one.

Ling Niankong's gaze searched for a moment and landed on me, as if relieved.

My heart jumped: look at his look, he should know I'm here!

At this time, Yue Xiongqi on the dragon chair finally reacted.

He stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and walked down the jade steps.

Ling Niankong was attracted by his movements. The moment he looked at Yue Xiongqi, his eyes were instantly covered with frost, with deep resentment.

Yue Xiongqi stood still in front of the jade steps, looked at Ling Niankong seriously, suddenly smiled desolately, and spoke:

"Kong'er, you want this throne, open your mouth, why bother so much?"

Free time? Yue Xiongqi, why did he call Ling Niankong like this?

The tone is so familiar, and apologetic!?

With such an attitude, how can an emperor have a traitor?

When Ling Niankong heard this, his surprise was no less than mine.

Seeing him like this, Yue Xiongqi said helplessly:

"Kong'er, is it possible, do you really think that I will not even recognize my own son? ……

It is true that I have not seen you since you were born until your mother died, but you are so much like her.

When you appeared in front of me, I doubted your identity. But I can't believe it, after all, the news that was reported back then was that you and she were both ......

I tried many times later, but you were too vigilant. In order not to make me suspicious, you didn't even refuse my marriage to you and Xiaoyi.

I really thought at the time, you might not really be empty.

But in Yuqiong Mountain, I saw you standing in front of her mound for so long, and I understood everything......

Kong'er, I know I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm even more arrogant as a father.

So today, whatever you plan to do, I will not stop you.

If Fang Cai's hard work is not enough to calm the resentment in your heart, I am willing to meet your mother under the Nine Springs. I'm just afraid, she still won't forgive me......"

I listened with trepidation.

Ling Niankong, he ...... He is the son of Yue Xiongqi!?

Is it the eldest son of Yue Xiongqi, who was rumored to be taken hostage by his father's forbidden army and taken to the outskirts of Night City with the Ling family?

It turns out that his name is not Ling Niankong, his real name is Yue Lingkong!?

Back then, his mother Ling poisoned the salt with his hand, so his mother would ......

I covered my mouth and my body couldn't stop shaking.

No wonder! No wonder Ah Ran would say that if I can't let him go, it will be very painful in the future.

No wonder Ling Niankong would say that he is inseparable from the north!

I was still wondering before, he was taken to Yunhua Mountain when he was ten years old, how could he play the qin? How can you pass the incense? How can the whole body be full of the smell of books that is difficult to hide?

It turned out that he was born in the Yue family in the south, the famous Yue family who had many prime ministers in the early years, and later became rich with the spice business! ……

The two sides were still at a stalemate, when another person came in from outside. Just look at his armor and know that this man should be an important figure in the rebels.

"How is General Ling, how is this old narrative?"

The man spoke with a distinctly southern accent.

When Yue Xiongqi saw the visitor, he rarely showed a look of surprise on his face. "Umon?"

Ling Niankong's face was tense, and the corners of his forehead were bulging. "Do you really think I'm going to take the throne? If I am like this, what is the difference between me and you!? I just think that in this world, the surname should not be Yue. ”

Ling Niankong's words were extremely heavy, and his tone was extremely heavy.

It turned out that what he had been planning all along was not for that high position.

He just wanted to take a breath for his mother and punish the ruthless man who abandoned his wife and son for the throne. He can't even grasp the last remaining rights.

That's why he joined forces with Umeng to help Umeng expand his territory?

When Yue Xiongqi heard this, he finally understood.

"Well, if this can let you get rid of the obsession in your heart, it is not impossible to ......"

Ling Niankong's hand holding the sword tightened, as if he was about to step forward, but at this moment, someone rushed in regardless of it, blocked in front of Yue Xiongqi, and knelt down towards Ling Niankong with a plop.

"Young Master!"

The kneeling man was an elderly woman, but the voice was familiar!

The woman looked up and looked at Ling Niankong pleadingly.

When Ling Niankong saw her appearance, he seemed to gasp, and took a step back a little unexpectedly.

"Young master, stop it! There were many things you didn't know back then, but what Your Majesty did was actually for Madame! ”

Listening to the woman's choked words, I suddenly recognized her.

She is the Liu Shangyu who Ling Niankong tried his best to trap me in the palace and lead me to treat him, and she was also the servant who followed Ling and Yue Lingkong in the early years!

"Young master, Your Majesty and Mrs. were deeply affectionate back then. However, Yan Moyu, the fourth prince at that time, went south to play and met his wife by chance, and has been entangled since then. He couldn't ask for it, and he became angry, so he poisoned his wife.

The poison is not fatal, but it attacks once every seven days, and the attack is painful, and there is no medicine to remedy, only the spring water on Lingxiu Mountain can suppress the poison.

Your Majesty tried all sorts of ways to get the spring water. But that Lingxiu Mountain is a holy place for the Fengli sect to practice, and because the sect is only loyal to the royal family, His Majesty couldn't find the spring water at that time.

Seeing Madame getting haggard day by day, His Majesty really couldn't.

He couldn't give his wife to Yan Moyu, so he could only choose to start an incident, and if he took the world, he would be able to get the spring water.

But I didn't expect that you and your wife would be taken captive.

Madame is not a person who can be coerced, and His Majesty has been planning for ten years in order to seize the throne and stay away from his homeland. Madame saw it in her eyes, afraid that the pain and hatred in her heart were far greater than the poison.

Being exiled to Night City, I'm afraid it's the limit of what she can bear, and she doesn't want to be a burden to His Majesty anymore, so she will make that choice......

Your Majesty, all of this he has done is for the sake of Madame, even if it is really wrong, young master, you shouldn't do anything to him! ”

At this moment, Ah Ran, who had been sitting in the back and drinking, suddenly stood up and walked to my side.

His face was still calm, and it seemed that he had known these things for a long time.

Ling Niankong listened to Liu Shangyu's words, his eyes flashed dazed, he was stunned for a long time, and his eyes glanced towards me again.

However, his eyes suddenly froze, and his gaze was fixed on Ah Ran in shock. To be exact, it was fixed on the dragon pattern of Ah Ran's robe.

Ling Niankong squinted slightly, took a few steps closer to me, and said to me in a deep voice, "Come here!" ”
