"What a boldness! The assassins have all fled to the Prime Minister's Mansion! The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion shouted, "Come on, arrest them for me!" ”

Su Nuo'er and their faces were covered with scarves, and the housekeeper naturally didn't know who they were, but they were just arrested by Xia Wanwan's order.

Su Nuo'er stood up, pulled down the scarf on her face, and frowned at the people surrounding them: "Who dare to move?" ”

"This, Miss Su?" The housekeeper screamed uncertainly, secretly screaming in his heart that he was unlucky, how could this be the arrogant and unreasonable eldest lady Su Nuo'er in the General's Mansion?

"I know it's me who is still presumptuous!" Su Nuo'er was a little annoyed, knowing that Xia Wanwan didn't have any good intentions, it turned out that she appeared here in the middle of the night, and she was waiting for her in such a set.

At this time, Xia Wanwan approached and saw Su Nuo'er with a surprised look on her face. "Sister Noel? Why are you here? I heard that people said that there were assassins in the house, but never thought that it was Noor's sister? ”

In just a few words, he poured dirty water on Su Nuo'er.

The Prime Minister's Mansion made an assassin in the middle of the night, and the assassin was the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, so he came to assassinate the eldest lady?

"Can't the eldest lady see that I'm saving people?" Su Nuoer asked rhetorically.

"Yike...... Why hasn't anyone called the doctor yet, didn't you see that Madame was injured! Xia Wanwan knew that she was a little too proud, and almost forgot the existence of the eldest lady, so she hurriedly forced her eyes red, and prayed pitifully: "Sister Nuo'er, and these two young heroes, what do you want to prepare, don't embarrass my mother." ”

"Mother is hurt, I beg you, give her back to me." Xia Wanwan couldn't cry with red eyes, pleading sadly.

Bai Yu already hated Xia Wanwan, seeing that she was so able to pretend to be pitiful, she was angry for a while, but suddenly pulled out her sword and slashed at Xia Wanwan, Su Nuo'er hurriedly stopped it, but Bai Yu used full strength, Xia Wanwan seemed to be waiting for this one, and she didn't hide, let the sword blade cut her arm, and the blood stained half of her sleeve.

"Bai Yu!"

"Presumptuous!"

An exclamation and a loud shout sounded at the same time, and Bai Yuleng might as well be slapped away by Xia Zhuofeng, who suddenly arrived, and retreated several steps back before stabilizing his figure.

Seeing Xia Zhuofeng coming, Xia Wanwan cried and said to Su Nuo'er: "Please, return your mother to me." He grabbed Xia Zhuofeng's sleeve with his injured right hand, and said weakly, "Father, save your mother." ”

Xia Zhuofeng couldn't help but be furious, he just entered the palace overnight, and when he came back, he heard that there were assassins in the mansion, and when he came over, he found that it was a little girl from the General's Mansion, who actually injured his wife and his baby daughter!

"Come on, take them down, and give them fifty lashes first!" Xia Zhuofeng waved his hand, and dozens of well-trained guards came in, directly swordsmanship, directly approaching Su Nuo'er and Bai Yu.

"Who dare!" Su Nuo'er shouted loudly, "The Prime Minister is also an important minister in the court, so he was convicted indiscriminately?" ”

Xia Zhuofeng was angry: "The left and right are just a little girl in the general's mansion, Mao dared to run to my prime minister's mansion to spread wild before she grew up, I won't treat you well today, am I still afraid that your general's mansion will not succeed!" ”

"Take her down for me!"

"Who dare!"

Seeing that a fight was about to start, Xia Yan, who was protected by Su Nuo'er and Bai Yu, suddenly covered her ears and screamed.

"Enough!!"

The scream was a little terrible, which made Xia Zhuofeng stunned. But when he saw Xia Yan coming out from behind Su Nuo'er, Xia Zhuofeng thought that he was dazzled.

Xia Yan's current appearance is clearly the appearance of the eldest lady when she was young.

"You ......"

Xia Zhuofeng's hand pointed at Xia Yan trembled slightly, "Who are you?" ”

Xia Yan stared coldly at Xia Zhuofeng's eyes, and the beautiful fantasy of his father faded by half in his heart. "Father, can't you see who your biological daughter is?"

Xia Zhuofeng was slightly stunned, staring at Xia Yan's eyebrows carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. "Like, too much." It's just the eldest lady of her youth.

At this time, the doctor finally arrived, treated the eldest lady, and finally stopped the bleeding.

Xia Yan's expression was always faint, looking at the bloodless eldest lady on the bed, she slowly stretched out her hand and held the eldest lady's somewhat cold hand, trying not to choke her voice. "Mother, my daughter is back."

Xia Yan's "mother" made Xia Zhuofeng come back to his senses suddenly, and hurriedly walked to the side of the bed to see how the eldest lady reacted.

The eldest lady already had some strength to speak, and when she heard this, two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Tremblingly asked, "Is it really my daughter who is back?" ”

"Yes, mother, I'm back, I know everything, it's really me." Xia Yan couldn't cry.

If it weren't for the peasant woman who felt sorry for herself before she died, she would never have told her the truth of all this. More than ten years of starvation and cold, more than ten years of grievances and pain, and now at the moment of seeing his biological mother, everything has disappeared.

Xia Zhuofeng seemed to have been struck by lightning, and stood a little dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Ah Lian, is this really our daughter?" More than ten years ago, you didn't do anything to be sorry for me? ”

The eldest lady silently shed tears and nodded silently.

It turned out that Xia Yan and Xia Wanwan were replaced by the peasant woman when they were born seventeen years ago, and the peasant woman's daughter Xia Wanwan became the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just that Xia Wanwan is getting bigger and bigger, but she is becoming less and less similar to Xia Zhuofeng and the eldest lady. Xia Zhuofeng didn't care, but he drank too much that day, and when he heard the concubine muttering, he became suspicious. The suspicions accumulated more and more, and finally Xia Zhuofeng came to confess his relatives with the eldest lady and Xia Wanwan behind his back. As a result, naturally, the blood beads can't melt together. Xia Zhuofeng was furious, thinking that the eldest lady had done something sorry for him, not only locked the eldest lady in the ancestral hall to think about it, but also no longer loved Xia Wanwan, and even snubbed her, allowing those concubines and subordinates to bully.

However, it seems that Xia Wanwan is also capable, with such an identity setting, she can still sit firmly in the position of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and win Xia Zhuofeng's favor.

has been fighting for more than ten years, and Xia Wanwan is also hard enough.

Su Nuo'er on the side sighed silently in her heart, looked at Xia Wanwan, who was half-kneeling on the ground with her head hanging and didn't know what she was thinking, and said: "It's just that he was deliberately wronged when he was born, and it is inevitable that poor Xia Yan has suffered for more than ten years at a young age, and now he misses his parents very much, but he has to be arrested as an assassin and questioned." As he spoke, he looked at the guards who were still surrounding them and had not left.

"What are you doing here? Go down! Xia Zhuofeng immediately waved away all his subordinates and guards, and ordered, "Today's matter, if anyone leaks half a word, be careful of his head!" ”

"Niece Noor." Xia Zhuofeng had a smile on his face, and gestured to Su Nuo'er to thank him, "Thanks to my good niece for bringing my daughter back, I will definitely hold a banquet tomorrow to thank you." ”

The corners of Su Nuo'er's eyes twitched, thinking that this old fox had changed his face too quickly. However, there was no emotion on his face, and he said lightly: "I just can't bear it, the prime minister doesn't have to be polite." ”

"Ah Lian, you take good care of your injuries, and when your injuries are healed, our family of three will be reunited." Xia Zhuofeng held the eldest lady's hand, full of guilt for the eldest lady's injury, but did not mention the pursuit of the murderer at all.

Why?

Because the murderer is Xia Wanwan!

also because Xia Wanwan did this kind of thing, and he got his acquiescence.

Xia Wanwan seemed to be ignored by everyone like this, seeing that the scene was a little out of her control, Xia Wanwan bit her lip and staggered to her feet, as if she wanted to walk out.

Just when Su Nuo'er didn't pay much attention, Xia Wanwan suddenly slammed into the pillar!

"Xia Wanwan!" Su Nuo'er exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran over to support her.

Xia Zhuofeng was also taken aback and hurried over. "Wanwan, Wanwan, what are you doing!"

Xia Wanwan's forehead was full of blood, and she smiled weakly at Xia Zhuofeng: "It's just a pity that Wanwan can't bring the glory and wealth that my father said well, and I ask my father to forgive Wanwan......"

With that, he closed his eyes weakly.

Xia Zhuofeng's eyes widened suddenly. Then he shouted: "Come on, call the doctor!" While pushing Su Nuo'er away, he hurriedly stopped Xia Wanwan's bleeding.

Su Nuo'er said it was very mysterious.

What's going on?

Xia Zhuofeng was so out of shape, he didn't know that he thought Xia Zhuofeng was a loving father, but with Su Nuo'er's understanding of him, Xia Zhuofeng was so nervous that Xia Wanwan was definitely not a father-daughter affection.

Unless...... What secrets does Xia Wanwan have, he has absolute interests in Xia Zhuofeng, otherwise Xia Zhuofeng would never be so interested in an impostor fake daughter.

As for what the reason was, Su Nuo'er couldn't guess for a while, anyway, Xia Zhuofeng now admitted Xia Yan's identity, and Xia Yan also saw his mother, so he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bai Yu, if you stay here to protect Xia Yan, I won't stay longer, you have to be careful." Su Nuo'er smiled at Xia Yan, "Take good care of your mother." ”

Xia Yan hesitated, stood up and followed her. "I'll go with you."

Su Nuo'er was a little surprised: "Won't you stay here to take care of your mother?" ”

Xia Yan shook his head, "There are more important things waiting for me to do." "She's referring to going to the water.

"Stay." Su Nuo'er could see the eldest lady's reluctance to Xia Yan, patted Xia Yan's shoulder and said, "When your mother is well, if you want to come to me, you can come, if you don't want to come, it's better to stay here and spend more time with your parents." There will always be a way for those things. ”

Without waiting for Xia Yan to speak again, Su Nuo'er had already walked towards the door.

However, Bai Yu still caught up, looked at Su Nuo'er for a while, and then slowly spit out a "thank you", which was quite solemn.

Su Nuo'er smiled and flew away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At that time, Gu Ruobai had just found the place where the King of Destalment was located.

The extremely cold cave was full of poison, and as soon as Gu Ruobai entered, dozens of vampire bats flew towards him with strange screams to attack him. Fortunately, he had been prepared, blowing the fire fold that had been prepared earlier, and there was a bright light, and the bats scattered a little, flying around Gu Ruobai, trying to extinguish the candle flame so that he could pounce on it again to suck blood.

All the way to the depths of the cave, under the light of dozens of lanterns, the ground was crawling with dark blue snakes, "hissing" and spitting letters, sensing the breath of strangers, and crawling in the direction of Gu Ruobai.

And the life-seeking Hades that Gu Ruobai was looking for sat on the stone chair in front of him, watching with interest how Gu Ruobai was going to deal with the poisonous snakes all over the ground.

Gu Ruobai had already guessed that this would be the case, took out a bottle full of sulfur from his sleeve, and sprinkled it on the snakes.

The snakes were afraid of sulfur, so they retreated one after another, "hissing" and spitting out the letter, as if they were very angry at Gu Ruobai's behavior. Gu Ruobai had no intention of wasting time fighting with this group of snakes, and took advantage of the gap between the retreats of the sulfur snakes, and flew directly to the King of Hell on tiptoe.

"Yes, it's still so smart." King Hell has no name, and Gu Ruobai only knows his nickname. Seeing Gu Ruobai easily break in, he didn't have a trace of surprise on his face, but praised it.

The Reaper Yama always wears a black mask with a blue-faced fanged ghost face carved into it, revealing only a pair of blue eyes.

Gu Ruobai's expression was indifferent, she took out a page of drawing paper from her sleeve and unfolded it, and there was a little girl in pink clothes painted on the paper, looking at people's eyes as if she could speak.

"Where did you get this painting?!" The retainer rose from the stone chair and tried to snatch the painting.

Gu Ruobai took the painting and dodged back, "I met a little girl a few days ago, she is very similar to the person on this painting, I think you will be interested." ”

The king of Yama was not stupid, and said directly: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows, very satisfied with his pleasure. "Withdraw the dead soldiers sent to assassinate Su Mo and Su Nuo'er, and lend me fifty more people to protect the General's Mansion."

"This one doesn't work, change to a different one."

"You personally go to protect Su Nuo'er."

King Yama gritted his teeth a little: "The surname is Gu!" ”

Gu Ruobai spread his hands, shook the painting in front of his eyes, and said, "After all, these conditions are easy for you." ”

"No! I promised someone their life. "It is rumored that the king of Hades kills people without blinking, never promises easily, and never breaks his promise once he agrees, and this is indeed the case.

"It turns out that the life-seeking Hades that everyone fears is just a fool who can be used by others." Gu Ruobai sneered, "Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it." As he spoke, he was about to destroy the painting in his hand.

"Don't!" King Yama gritted his teeth, "Let's discuss it again, I'll withdraw the dead soldiers, and you give me the painting." ”

"I also want you to protect Su Nuo'er personally." Gu Ruobai repeated.

"Then you tell me where Xia Yan is." The retainer finally relented, snatched the painting, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, treating it as a treasure.

Gu Ruobai didn't hide it: "Nuo'er took Xia Yan to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see her mother." ”

"She still went to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The Reaconciling Yama was thoughtful and asked, "What is the matter with Su Nuo'er and her?" ”

"Nuo'er wants to control the water, but the flood in the southeast is a vision from heaven, and manpower can't solve it, only Xia Yan can rely on it." Gu Ruobai said.

The King of Hells immediately frowned: "What does Xia Yan have to do with water control?" She is a little girl, where does she know how to control water? ”

"Xia Yan is the blood of the merman."

With just one sentence, King Yama understood what he meant.

I just don't want to believe it. "Impossible! The merman bloodline has been gone for hundreds of years! "If Xia Yan really has the blood of a shark on his body, then ...... One day, she will return to the sea that belonged to hers and will never be here again.

Thinking of Xia Yan's shallow smile, King Destalis felt sullen in his heart.

"There's no other way, she has to do it?"

Gu Ruobai guessed that he would ask this, and replied: "It doesn't have to be her, her mother, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can also do it." ”

"Then let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now." The king of Hades couldn't wait for a moment, and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Gu Ruobai.

At this time, it is dawn.

Before Gu Ruobai and King Suo Yama entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, they first heard the news that the people on the street were talking about.

The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated last night and died.

When they infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, they had to believe that the news they heard was true.

There was crying everywhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a coffin was placed in front of the mourning hall, Xia Yan and Xia Wanwan knelt in front of the mourning hall, Xia Wanwan was crying and burning paper money, and Xia Yan's face was numb, without any expression fluctuations.

"Don't be impulsive." Gu Ruobai grabbed the King of Descent who wanted to rush over, and lowered his voice and said, "Take Xia Yan out first." ”

The King of Desurgent Hades nodded, watching Gu Ruobai go in the opposite direction, and after a while, there was a sound over there, and the people were attracted to it, so the Requisite Hades took the opportunity to fly over and take Xia Yan into his arms, and went directly over the wall.

The whole process took less than twenty seconds, and when Xia Wanwan came to her senses, Xia Yan was already gone.

Here, the king of Hades took Xia Yan out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went directly to the inn according to the agreement with Gu Ruobai.

"Are you okay?" King Yama was very nervous.

Xia Yan's face was always wooden, and he shook his head.

She's fine. It's just that the heart is dead.

King Yama was anxious: "Who bullied you?" Would you like to say something? ”

Xia Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and there was despair in his eyes that the King of Destales had never seen before. "My mother was killed. It was my father who killed her with his own hands. ”

Xia Yan wanted to cry a little, but she couldn't cry. After Su Nuo'er left last night, Xia Zhuofeng settled Xia Wanwan before coming back to see their mother and daughter, and at that time she felt that the happy expression on her father's face was a little unnatural, but she couldn't tell what was strange. It wasn't until Xia Zhuofeng fed her mother that she suddenly began to vomit blood, and before she could react to what was going on, her mother had lost any breath.

At that time, her heart was about to break in agony, and she did not understand why her father, who was so good, had to poison his wife.

Xia Zhuofeng claimed to the public that the eldest lady was infected with a vicious disease and unfortunately died, but only she knew how her mother died, and only she knew how fake the sadness that Xia Zhuofeng and Xia Wanwan showed in front of people, and it was disgusting.

Xia Yan closed his eyes in pain, forcing himself to stop thinking about those things. Then he said to Gu Ruobai: "Take me to Miss Su." ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Regarding Xia Yan's sudden disappearance, Xia Zhuofeng was also anxious. thinks that although he has been in officialdom for most of his life and is a lot older, he only has such a biological bloodline as Xia Yan.

"Don't look for it yet! No one can be found, watch your heads! Xia Zhuofeng was furious.

Xia Wanwan lowered her head and sneered, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were already red. "Don't worry about the father first, blame the daughter for being incompetent and failing to protect her sister, so that the thief succeeded."

"It's not your fault." Xia Zhuofeng is a little scruptuous, no matter how anxious he is, he doesn't get angry with her.

Xia Zhuofeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the woman who was born with a phoenix life is Xia Yan, so that his own daughter can bring him infinite glory, and then he will be above ten thousand people under one person, even the emperor will be polite to him!

"My daughter doesn't want to force her father to do this, it's just that the psychic master once said that since I am a woman born with a phoenix life, there must be no one around me who can restrain me, but I didn't expect that the person who restrains me is actually my mother." Xia Wanwan said sadly, "If the father wants to spend his old age in splendor, the daughter will definitely help her father." Status and wife, since the father has chosen status, there is no turning back. ”

Xia Zhuofeng's mind Xia Wanwan could still guess two points, so he simply blocked his back road, leaving him with no way out, so he could only choose to keep her, and had no other choice.

Hearing Xia Wanwan's vague reminder, the trace of hesitation in Xia Zhuofeng's heart was completely erased by him.

The woman who is born with a phoenix destiny must be the mother of the country, and the one who gets the woman wins the world, Xia Wanwan is not his biological daughter, so why can't he ascend to the high throne?

Here, Xia Zhuofeng and Xia Wanwan have different thoughts, and Gu Ruobai's side is also a mess.

Xia Yan strongly asked to see Su Nuo'er, so Gu Ruobai took her and Bai Yu back to Qingshui Town with the King of Hell. Tossed back and forth, and it was late at night. After settling Xia Yan and the others, Gu Ruobai went directly to find Su Nuo'er.

In fact, when Gu Ruobai and the others had just arrived in Qingshui Town, An Jiuchen had just left.

Looking at the holy decree in Su Nuo'er's hand, Gu Ruobai's pale face finally had emotions: "An Jiuchen is here again?" ”

"Hmm." Su Nuo'er nodded sullenly.

Gu Ruobai didn't need to ask to know what was written on the holy decree, it was nothing more than the marriage that An Jiuchen asked for.

"An Jiuchen is crazy, he controls the entire general's mansion, if I refuse him directly, I'm afraid he will ......" Su Nuo'er was afraid that Gu Ruobai would think too much, and explained. I'm also very tired.

Gu Ruobai directly hugged her into his arms, and said distressedly: "No need to explain, I will help you." ”

When Bai Ling'er gasped and broke into the camp tent, she happened to see this scene, but this time she was not in the mood to complain about Su Nuo'er, so she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly told them the news.

"The latest news, the old emperor suddenly fell seriously ill two days ago, and he was already relying on thousand-year-old ginseng to continue his life, An Jiuchen sealed the news, and I only heard about it today."

"What?" Su Nuo'er raised her eyebrows to express surprise, "Why did the old emperor suddenly become seriously ill?" ”

"So it's weird, I didn't come to tell you."

Su Nuo'er and Gu Ruobai glanced at each other, "The old emperor can't die now. ”

As soon as the old emperor died, it was no surprise that An Jiuchen ascended the throne, and at that time, the general's mansion and her were really in a dilemma and there was no way back.

"When I go back to the imperial city, no matter what kind of illness I have, I must cure the old emperor." Su Nuo'er immediately decided that no matter what, she couldn't let An Jiuchen get to that position smoothly!

Gu Ruobai held her hand, half supportive and half promised: "Just do your best, it's a big deal, I gave up this identity and turned against the world for you." ”
