Ziling raised her eyes to look at Su Jingqian, and the emotions between her eyebrows were complicated, including distress and compassion, guilt and remorse, as well as respect and surrender.

"Everything the master does and every choice he makes is worthy of the world, his subjects, and Miss Lin, but he is the only one who is responsible for you."

Su Jingqian sat upright in front of the bookcase, the light shining on his shoulders, but there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and depression.

After a long time, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he replied: "Rights and responsibilities are equal, since I am the king of Dongchen, I have the responsibility to protect the thousands of people under my knees and keep the mountains and rivers safe." ”

"Yes, along the way, it is the master who has been carrying the weight for us and sheltering us, after all, Ah Ying and Ziling are ashamed of the master and Miss Lin."

Ziling looked at the corners of Su Jingqian's slightly raised lips, and her heart became more and more clogged, as if a thousand sorrows overflowed her chest, which was difficult to relieve. Under the smile of the master, she didn't know how many vicissitudes and bitterness were hidden. She only knew that from the moment her son chose to feed the glowing grass to Miss Lin, the wheel of fate had already begun to spin, and it was destined that they would be entangled and die for the rest of their lives.

"Ziling ......"

Su Jingqian raised his eyebrows and whispered, there was already a little more coldness in his voice, as if he was reminding, and as if he was preventing Ziling from continuing to reminisce, but after catching a glimpse of Ziling's eyes full of depression and pathos, he stopped the rest of his lips and teeth.

Ziling pursed her lips and buried the truth that was about to come out into the depths of her heart, and the past spread out from her mouth again.

When Ah Ying reappeared on the snowy mountain and rescued Ziling, Ziling had already realized that his master might not stay out of the matter, so Ziling told his master everything he knew, as well as the things he had collected over the years about the wizard clan and the Western Regions. The master knew that this matter was related to the stability of the entire Central Plains, so he wrote a letter to the Shencheng master of the Beiluo Shimen, explaining to the Shen City Lord what happened on the snow mountain, the conspiracy of the wizard clan and the purpose of refining the poisoner, and asked him to hide this matter and your injury from Miss Lin, and do not let Miss Lin be suspicious of the snow mountain, otherwise with her heart, she will definitely investigate the matter of the snow mountain to the end and put herself in danger. The city lord of Shen understood the stakes, so he grounded Miss Lin from the Beiluo Shimen on the grounds that she almost died, and did not say a word to you, so Miss Lin believed in King Huai's words, thinking that you really abandoned her on the snowy mountain. Not long after repairing the book, the city lord of Shen secretly summoned a number of martial arts masters to use their internal force to cause an avalanche on the snow-capped mountain, completely burying the traces in the mountain, which did not arouse the suspicion of the wizard clan and gave the master enough time to lay out. ”

Ziling tried her best to maintain a calm tone, narrating word by word, but there was a dull feeling between the lines, like the depressed and dull air on the eve of a storm.

"The master knows that he can't hide the matter of the Seven Evils in his body, but if the Emperor knows the reason for your injury, poisoning, and the matter of the Glowing Grass, even if Miss Lin has the backing of the Beiluo Master behind him, I'm afraid that the Emperor will be unfavorable to Miss Lin. Therefore, the master originally wanted to return to Dongchen after making all the best plans, but at that time, the master was already seriously injured due to hand-to-hand combat with the snow wolf, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and the seven evils in the body began to spread and attack, and it didn't last long before he fainted, and once wandered outside the ghost gate. Seeing that the situation was critical, Ah Ying had no choice but to send you back to the Dongchen Palace, and under the treatment of all the imperial doctors day and night, he finally pulled you back from the brink of death. ”

She still remembered that when Ah Ying sent the unconscious master back to the palace, almost everyone thought that the master would not survive, but the master survived with his strong willpower. The imperial doctors all sighed at the miracle, but she knew that the reason why the master was able to cross in front of the ghost gate was because he had not finished paving the way for Miss Lin, and he still couldn't rest assured that Miss Lin was still at ease after all.

Ziling lowered her eyes slightly, and the light and shadow in her eyes were shrouded in haze, "But even if you have the holy hand of a domestic doctor, you can't do anything about the poison of the Seven Evils in your body, so you can only rely on rare medicinal materials to suppress this poison and delay its spread." Although this method can extend the life of the master for more than ten years, it can finally treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and when the toxicity in the master's body spreads to the internal organs, even if the antidote is found, it is also a lack of surgery. When the emperor learned that you were highly poisoned and that there was no cure, he immediately became angry, and his already exhausted body collapsed. ”

And at that time, she didn't know that the wheel of fate had been crushed towards its established trajectory from the moment the master returned to the palace.

"There is only one prince left under the knees of the first emperor, you are also the prince of Dongchen, in order not to cause turmoil in the country, the first emperor immediately ordered the secret cabinet to block this news, and all the imperial doctors, palace people and even concubines who heard the news were all executed, leaving only Xiao Heng's master, who was the head of the Tai Hospital at that time, to suppress the seven evils for the master. When the master was still struggling on the line of life and death, the emperor had already detained Ah Ying and interrogated, he asked Ah Ying about the reason for the master's poisoning and whether there was a cure for the seven evils, Ah Ying knew the importance of Miss Lin to you, and only informed the emperor of the snow mountain poisoning people, and did not dare to reveal the matter of Yingfu Cao. ”

Speaking of this, Ziling slowly clenched her fingers, as if she was trying her best to control her emotions, but the corners of her eyes were still moist.

"But Ah Ying has been with his father since he was a child, and the first emperor knows Ah Ying too well, even if he sees that he has something to hide, coupled with the fact that the master has been in the north for four years, Ah Ying has been ordered by the first emperor to report the master's movements to the former emperor every month, and the first emperor naturally sees the master's affection for Miss Lin. What's more, how shrewd the emperor was, he knew that with the martial arts of the master and Ah Ying, even if it was a poisonous person and a snow wolf, he would never let the master be injured like this. can seriously injure the master, and make Ah Ying dare not tell the truth, and then contact the news that Miss Lin was injured and returned to the Beiluo Division, the emperor has already guessed that the master is injured to save Miss Lin. In order to dig out more truths, the former emperor did not press Ah Ying again, but asked Ah Ying's father, the leader of the Dark Pavilion, to induce him. ”

Ziling narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were wrapped in a hint of frost, and there was a layer of sadness and hatred that was difficult to hide.

"Dark Ming not only threatened Ziling's life, but also coaxed Ah Ying, who was imprisoned as soon as he returned to the palace, saying that the master's life hung by a thread, if he couldn't find the antidote, the master might not last for a month, once the master died, then Dongchen would fall into chaos because there was no successor, and Ah Ying would be the culprit of killing the lord and destroying the country. But if Ah Yingken confesses the whole truth and gathers the strength of the whole country, I believe that he will soon be able to find an antidote to the poison in the master's body. At that time, even though Ah Ying was suspicious of the words of the dark underworld, he was also wavering about finding the antidote, not to mention, Ah Ying knew that if he secretly wanted to kill Ziling, it would indeed be easy to do so. Ah Ying was worried that Ziling would die, and if he couldn't find the antidote, he was afraid that no one would be able to develop a cracking method to save his master, and he was forced to tell everything. ”
