The Elven King's Palace, in the Council Hall.

"I wonder what the Elf King wants me to tell me to stay?" Jie Ran said.

The old elf king glanced at Qiu Ye, who was sitting on the side with a big grin, and said, "You go out first, I have something to say to Si Ming Xingjun." ”

Qiu Ye leaned back on the chair lazily, his eyes swept back and forth between the Elf King and Jie Ran a few times, and then he said casually, "Father, what are you whispering that you can't say in front of me, you have to say it to Si Ming Xingjun alone in private?" Could it be that you still have some ulterior secrets? ”

The old elven king frowned, "You're really getting more and more unorthodox. How old a person is, and he still talks nonsense like this all day long, and he doesn't do anything right. With your appearance, how can I trust the elven world to you in the future? ”

"Yes, yes, don't nag, can't I go?" Qiu Ye patted the folds on his clothes, stood up, walked out slowly, and when he passed by Jie Ran's side, he paused and said, "Last time in the Heavenly Palace, Xingjun promised me something, I don't know if I still have to count?" ”

Jie Ran took a sip of tea, and after gently covering the tea lid, Fang said lightly, "Of course." ”

Qiu Ye chuckled lightly and strode out.

"Now you can speak." Jie Ran looked at the old elf king and said.

The old elf king looked at him and sighed, "I know, you blame me. But back then, I really didn't have any other choice. ”

"I have something to do, please make a long story short." Jie Ran interrupted the old elf king's words in a cold voice.

The old elf king looked at him, "Haven't you always wanted to know the real cause of your mother's death?" ”

Jie Ran looked up sharply.

The old elf king sighed and said, "Your father's affairs, I must have told you about the Antarctic Immortal Emperor. ”

Jie Ran was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

"Your father is the god of war in the divine realm, with a lot of achievements in war, a great reputation, and he is the most important person in the previous emperor." The old elf king said slowly, "The previous Heavenly Emperor died suddenly, and no heir was designated. Both your father and the current Emperor of Heaven have their own forces within the Celestial Clan, and both have the ability to compete for the position of Emperor of Heaven.

However, the current Emperor of Heaven is the biological son of the previous Emperor of Heaven after all, and he is an orthodox royal family, and it is justifiable to inherit the throne. However, your father was not convinced, believing that he who had made great contributions to the divine realm was the most qualified person to become the Emperor of Heaven. So he launched a mutiny, recruited the twelve elite regiments under his command, and wanted to snatch the throne from the hands of the Emperor of Heaven. But he didn't expect that the Emperor of Heaven had long known that he had the intention of rebellion, and the night before he suppressed the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of Heaven combined the power of the Twelve Star Monarchs to assassinate him. The elite corps was leaderless and surrendered without a fight. At this point, the heavenly realm is once again united. ”

"These Antarctic Immortal Emperors have told me," Jie Ran said impatiently, his voice a little low, "What does this have to do with my mother's death?" ”

"Your mother loves your father very much." There was a little sadness in the old elf king's voice, "Your mother, my only daughter, has been pampered by me since she was a child, innocent, and ignorant of human suffering.

That stupid child, she has admired your father since she was a child, and when she was five hundred years old, she stalked and beat every day, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, begging me to go and ask your father for marriage. I couldn't resist her, so I had to agree. Fortunately, your father also has a good impression of her, so the marriage is settled. When he was eight hundred years old, your mother married him.

Although your mother is infatuated with your father, she still understands right and wrong. Knowing that your father was planning to rebel, she tried to dissuade her, and she couldn't sit still. One day, while your father was not paying attention, he secretly ran back to the elven world to find me and tell me everything. ”

Jie Ran interjected coldly, "Then you went to the Heavenly Emperor to tell the truth?" ”

"That's right, it's your father who I exposed." The old elf king admitted it calmly.

Flames of hatred flashed in Jie Ran's eyes, "You knew that doing this would harm my parents, but you still betrayed them for your own benefit?" ”

"No, I'm not doing it for myself." The old elf said, "I don't know what kind of person your father is. If he is a general, he must be the sharpest sword and the strongest shield in the heavenly realm. But if he becomes an emperor, it will not only be the Divine Realm, but also the Five Realms.

Although the Emperor of Heaven is inferior to him in spiritual power, he is generous, benevolent, and strategic. Such a person is the best candidate for a king. In the case of the time, after the Emperor's victory, he only scattered your father's army and did not harm innocent people. But if your father wins the final victory, then the entire Heavenly Court, which is loyal to the Heavenly Emperor, will probably be slaughtered by your father. ”

"It's just your words, how can I be trusted?" Jie Ran said coldly.

The old elf king sighed and said, "Your mother said the same thing back then. ”

Jie Ran paused, and said with some difficulty, "Then why did she marry the Emperor of Heaven?" ”

"To avenge your father." The old elf king couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your father's death hit her hard, and later, her spirit was already a little abnormal, and she looked at things very extremely. She blames the Emperor for your father's death. So, after giving birth to you, she begged me to marry her to the Emperor of Heaven as a concubine.

What she really thinks, how could I not understand? She's just looking for an opportunity to get close to the Emperor so that she can assassinate him and avenge your father. So I rejected her request outright. But I never expected that when she saw that I didn't agree, she actually went to the heavenly realm by herself, wanting to seduce the Heavenly Emperor.

At that time, the Emperor of Heaven already had a crush, that is, the later Empress Yi, so he was not moved by your mother. Your mother was unwilling to give up, so she used all means to seduce the Emperor with psychedelic pleasures, so that the Emperor was delirious and took your mother as the queen.

After the Emperor of Heaven woke up, although he knew that it was your mother's means, it was too late, so he had to take your mother as a concubine.

At that time, the Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, so there were no such strict restrictions on etiquette. Your mother was able to marry into the Celestial Clan. But the Emperor was angry at your mother's deception and never set foot in your mother's room, so she never found a chance to assassinate the Emperor.

As a last resort, your mother had to repeat the old trick, that is, this time, your mother was pregnant with the eldest prince Tianshu.

After your mother became pregnant, the Emperor of Heaven also began to visit your mother occasionally because of the child, and finally once, your mother caught the opportunity to put a red Lianhua Scattered Snake into his ear while the Emperor was taking a lunch break.

The Emperor of Heaven was very alert, and immediately came to his senses, and immediately became furious, and wanted to send your mother to the heavenly prison. Later, for the sake of your mother's pregnancy, you will be lightly punished and only imprisoned in your own palace. In order to take care of the face of the elves, the Emperor of Heaven only said to the outside world that your mother was virtuous and virtuous, lived in seclusion in the palace, and did not like to go out.

Later, after giving birth to Tianshu, your mother's spirit became worse and worse, she often said crazy words, and always beat and abused the palace maids for no reason, so that the maids did not dare to approach her later. Until one day, she drank half a jar of spirits, then locked the door of the temple, cut off all her meridians, and let the blood spill all over the room, and finally died of blood. ”

As if a long time had passed, Jie Ran slowly spoke, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Why do you want to tell me this?" ”

"I am telling you this not to make you avenge your parents, but to tell you not to be like your mother, who is obsessed with self-indulgence, which will only harm others and yourself." The old elf king sighed, "In all fairness, the Emperor of Heaven has clear grievances and grievances, and he is not thin on us. Knowing that your parents did such a thing, he still sent you to study under the throne of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, and after you completed your studies, he entrusted you with important responsibilities without guard. For so many years, he didn't show the slightest anger towards the elves. He doesn't owe us, but we owe him. ”

Jie Ran was just silent and didn't speak.

"That's all I have to say, whether you can figure it out or not depends on yourself." The old elf king paused, and then said, "That princess Luo Yao is a good girl. I can see that you really like her. In that case, don't do anything to hurt her, and don't let your future self regret it. ”

Jie Ran slowly raised his head, looked at his old and deep eyes, and said, "You, do you know something?" ”

"Qiu Ye is not a person who can hide things, I can see that you have some ulterior things." The old elf said, "But I still advise you to stop it as soon as possible." In any case, Tianshu is your half-brother, and neither I nor your mother want you to kill each other. ”

"Siblings?" Jie Ran hooked the corners of his mouth lightly and said mockingly, "Neither he nor I have ever thought so." ”

"Well, why bother?" The old elf king shook his head and walked towards the outside of the hall with a sigh, "When will this generation of struggle for power and profit and fighting in the same room come to an end?" ”

"And this time, are you going to snitch?" Jie Ran's voice sounded from behind him.

"No, the old man doesn't have the strength to go to heaven anymore." The old elf king did not look back, looking at the sky with his crutches and said, "You can rest assured. ”

"That's the best," Jie Ran said, "I don't want to do anything to you." ”

Hearing Jie Ran's answer, the old man's back looked a little rickety, and the old elf king smiled bitterly, sighed "Wronged", and then held the coffin cane, step by step, gradually moving away.

Jie Ran stared at his back, for a long time, standing there, not moving away for half a step.

In the evening, night falls.

After Luo Yao returned to the post station, he ran directly to knock on Jie Ran's door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time, so he asked the attendant of the post station, "Hasn't Brother Jie Ran come back yet?" ”

"If you go back to the princess, after Si Ming Xingjun went out with you in the morning, he never came back." The attendant replied respectfully.

"Where will he go at such a late hour?" Luo Yao frowned and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the Elven King has stayed in the palace?" The elven messenger said.

"It's possible," Luo Yao nodded and said, "Forget it, regardless of him, let's go investigate first." ”

"It's so late, where are you going, princess?" The envoy was surprised when he saw that Luo Yao was going out again.

"It's so late, of course I'm going to visit the people who spend the night." Luo Yao curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Let's go to the Black Elf Country to have a look." ”
