Chapter 68: Revenge?
Yes! She can't escape, since she has chosen this path, she can only go forward.
Lingyu sighed, turned her head to look at the wine on the table, and then took a few sips of the liquor from the wine glass, and the hot wine ran from her throat into her stomach, and then rolled in her stomach, burning her whole face.
Lingyu wiped her lips, put down the flask in her hand, and then picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
"Whew!" With a long exhalation of the congested breath in her chest, Lingyu stood up and walked towards the door.
The moment he pushed the door open, a gust of cold wind rushed towards him, and Lingyu, who was blown by the cold and biting wind, shrank his neck.
Lingyu looked up at the sky, the dark sky seemed to be about to be suppressed, faintly, there seemed to be lightning splitting, and the violent thunder resounded throughout Kyoto.
I'm afraid this rain is coming soon!
Lingyu walked into the courtyard and looked up at the dark night sky with a puzzled expression.
"Miss, come inside!" Cui'er came out of the house and shouted to Lingyu, who turned and walked in.
As soon as he sat down, a strong wind swept the rain down on Lingyu's shoulders, and the cold and biting raindrops hit the skin, making people's pores shrink with it, Lingyu rubbed his arms, and then hugged his arms tightly, close to the stove to keep warm.
Suddenly, Lingyu saw a man standing not far away, the man was tall and straight, wearing a purple brocade robe, his handsome facial features were perfectly contoured, and a pair of phoenix eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon to scan the surroundings.
Lingyu's pupils shrank suddenly, Mu Chen, he actually found here?
Mu Chen looked at the room where Lingyu was, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he walked into the room where Lingyu was staying, and sat down unceremoniously.
Lingyu frowned, Mu Chen was so brazen, looking like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.
Lingyu was about to speak, when she saw Mu Chen reach out and throw the food box on the table to the ground, open the lid, take out the food inside, and put it on the table one by one.
"Ling'er, eat with me." Mu Chen's tone was gentle and doting, then he picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and handed it to Lingyu's mouth, Lingyu was stunned for a second, and then lowered his head and swallowed the piece of meat.
"How did you get here?" She also thought that Mu Chen and that past existence was just a dream that Murong Cheyun had woven to trap her.
"Don't you want to know how the Hellfire Dragon came about?" Mu Chen asked lightly.
Lingyu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Well, of course I do." ”
"The Hell Flame Dragon originally belonged to Murong Cheyun, but he didn't care about the bloodline, he just sealed the Hell Flame Dragon in this city, and the construction of this city was based on the corpse of the Hell Flame Dragon." Mu Chen explained.
"This ......," Lingyu's eyes widened in shock.
"It's true!" Mu Chen said firmly.
"Why are you telling me this?" Lingyu asked suspiciously. She didn't believe that Mu Chen would be so kind, and she had known Murong Cheyun longer than Mu Chen......
"Because...... I need help. ”
"Do you need help? Are your parents ......? Lingyu suddenly felt that she had asked the wrong question.
Mu Chen shook his head, then looked at her and said, "I need to borrow your identity and do something else." ”
"Something else? What do you want me to do? Lingyu stared at Mu Chen vigilantly.
Mu Chen didn't speak, he directly took out a token from his arms and handed it to Lingyu's eyes, "Did you see it?" ”
Lingyu stared at the token in Mu Chen's hand, this token she was very familiar with, it was Murong Cheyun's personal token, she had seen it before.
"How do you have this token?" Lingyu couldn't help but squint.
"This token is a relic of my mother."
Lingyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect it to be this kind of relationship, Mu Chen's mother, could it be Murong Cheyun's biological mother?
"This token is a relic of my mother." Mu Chen said slowly.
"What's your mother's name?" Lingyu asked curiously.
"You know her?"
"Hmm." Lingyu nodded.
"Her name is Lin Wanqing, she is the princess of the Northern Underworld, she married the royal brother at a young age, she is very smart and favored, but she is disgusted by the imperial brother." Mu Chen said, a dark color flashing in his eyes.
"And then?" Lingyu asked.
"Later, after the death of the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial brother was very sad and fell ill, and died not long after, on the night of the imperial brother's death, the palace caught fire, and the mother concubine was burned alive!" Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said, the nails of his clenched fists sank into his palms, and blood flowed out, which showed how angry, resentful, and painful he was at the moment.
"Mu Chen!" Lingyu shouted at him worriedly.
"You don't have to comfort me, I've been used to it for a long time, and I haven't told anyone about this matter except you!" Mu Chen's eyes were slightly red, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
"I see!" Lingyu stretched out her hand and patted him on the back, she knew how painful this matter was for a person, Mu Chen's life experience, although she didn't know it very well, it was definitely not simple, and the relationship between Mu Chen and Murong Cheyun should not be simple.
"Lingyu, I'm here today just to ask you for something." Mu Chen raised his head and stared at her.
Lingyu raised her eyebrows: "Oh? What's up? ”
"I hope you can help me become the new emperor." Mu Chen said bluntly, his words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they exploded in Lingyu's ears.
"You're crazy!" Lingyu's eyes widened in shock.
"If you think I'm crazy, then I'm crazy." Mu Chen said, "Lingyu, help me ascend to the throne, so that I can take revenge!" ”
Lingyu opened her mouth, she never thought that Mu Chen's purpose was to become the emperor!
"Why do you think I'm going to help you?" Lingyu asked rhetorically.
"I will promise you three conditions, as long as you help me successfully sit on the throne, then I will promise you all three conditions!" Mu Chen said firmly, his deep black eyes were full of persistence, "Lingyu, I know it's unfair to you, but for revenge, I have no choice!" ”
Listening to Mu Chen's words, a sadness rose in Lingyu's heart, she had never seen someone as obsessed with revenge as Mu Chen.
"Lingyu, I know you don't trust me yet, but I promise that I will never hurt you." Mu Chen solemnly promised, "I also know who you like, and when I ascend the throne, we can be together openly." ”
Listening to Mu Chen's words, Lingyu couldn't help laughing, "Mu Chen, have you forgotten that I don't love you at all!" ”
The expression on Mu Chen's face froze, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes, "Lingyu, as long as you help me, I can let you recover your previous memories, and even make you an ordinary person, and you will no longer have to be tortured by curses!" ”
"What did you say?" Lingyu frowned, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, how did he know that he had lost his memory?
I sometimes feel as if I have forgotten something important, but ...... She wasn't sure what it was.
"How did you know I had amnesia?" Lingyu asked suspiciously, "Does my amnesia have anything to do with you?" ”
When Mu Chen heard this, his expression was a little strange, "Lingyu, you...... Amnesia? ”
An obscure glint flashed in his eyes, "I don't know, it's just that I was outside the house just now, and I vaguely felt a wave of power, so I guess you may have lost your memory." ”
When Lingyu heard this, her heart beat violently a few times, and she actually lost her memory!
So how did Mu Chen learn that she had amnesia?
"Lingyu, you believe me, you will definitely be able to recover your previous memories, and your memories can be restored as long as you find the spirit beads." Mu Chen said eagerly, "If you are willing to help me, I am willing to give everything I have, as long as I can do it, I am willing to give it to you." ”
"Tell me first, where did you hear that I had amnesia?" Lingyu asked, all this came too suddenly, she didn't believe that Mu Chen, who had always been calm and wise, was actually stupid in this matter.
Mu Chen looked at her, a glint flashed in his eyes, and then changed the topic, "In the past two years, Murong Cheyun's power has become stronger and stronger, he has controlled the entire Nanze Kingdom, I am not willing to watch him ascend to the throne like this, so I must stop him, otherwise when he becomes the Ninety-Five Emperor, I will never be able to avenge my mother!" ”
"I see." Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, since this was the case, then there was no question of Mu Chen deceiving her, after all, she had lost her memory.
However, this Mu Chen actually knew about the existence of the spirit bead, could it be that this guy still had some secrets to hide from himself?
What Lingyu didn't know was that Mu Chen did have another layer of identity, this secret he had hidden in his heart for too long, if it wasn't for revenge, he would rather live his whole life than mention it.
"Mu Chen, if you really want revenge, it's not just as simple as bringing down Murong Cheyun." Lingyu looked at Mu Chen and spoke tentatively.
Mu Chen was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "Yes, Murong Cheyun is an ambitious person, if I want to defeat him, I must have more powerful power, and the only way is to become the new emperor, I want Murong Cheyun to die!" ”
"Then why are you asking me for help?" Lingyu continued to ask, according to the identities of the two of them, it seems that there is no chance of cooperation at all, right?
"Lingyu, I don't want you to be caught up in this whirlpool." Mu Chen said, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I was forced to find you, if you don't want to, I can do it another way." ”
"In what way?" Lingyu raised her eyebrows.
"Lingyu, I know that you are not an ordinary person, maybe you will help me, because only you can help me avenge!" Mu Chen said slowly, "The reason why Murong Cheyun was able to stabilize the government so quickly is completely dependent on your master, I suspect that he has some connection with the evil spirit realm, as long as you can help me kill him, then this country will be up to you!" ”
The Evil Spirit Realm?
