The Forbidden City is not big, but it is not small. Inside the high walls, there are one obscure and vicious heart after another.

I used to deal with ill-intentioned concubines, but now I have to guard against others persecuting my children.

Scold...... This pain of being in the abdomen and back of the enemy, I seemed to have no choice but to fight back with a feeble and pale response.

……

It's night.

There was silence in the Kunning Palace.

I didn't sleep alone, and I held the piece tightly in my hand, the martial arts cheats that my father had pulled out of his flesh and blood.

The original bloodstains of this martial arts secret book have long since disappeared due to my last prying eyes. But for some reason, every time I pull it in the palm of my hand, I can still smell the erosion after a burst.

I think I'll never forget the long scar on my father's leg for the rest of my life. The scar has been baptized by the years, and the needle and thread have long since disappeared into the flesh. On the surface, it was just a little pain, and finally healed. But as a daughter, as long as she takes a second look, she feels distressed.

I can't forget how my father picked up the golden dagger on my dresser and slashed his own leg alive. I can't forget the outrageously meticulous process, the dagger slowly sinking into the belly of the leg, cutting one knife at a time, and using force over and over again.

Blood...... With the tip of the knife everywhere it goes, it flows freely. Until the end, the skin of the leg belly was opened, revealing the white bones of the forest.

I can't forget how my father used a dagger to open layer after layer of flesh on his skin, carefully looking for this thing that cost him his life.

I can't forget how his sweat soaked his clothes, and I can't forget the smell of sweat mixed with blood.

I can't forget it...... The kind of torment when I was there at the beginning, but it was only half an hour, but it felt like a long time had passed.

I unfolded the cheats in my hand and looked at them, then carefully folded them again. After a while, the heart unwillingly unfolded again. And then...... He sighed again and closed it slowly.

So repeatedly, my heart is both entangled and struggling.

When Qing Cang was most lonely and helpless, he had thought hard about how to get rid of Wenren Haoxuan. God knows, I want to tell Qing Cang that the only way is to practice this secret book of the Murong family......

After all, Wenren Haoxuan had been taught by his father for decades. Whether it is the forces behind him or his personal martial arts, Qing Cang is at a disadvantage. And this cheat book is a supreme and insignificant existence in the rivers and lakes. Wenren Haoxuan killed his father and brother in order to get him, which is enough to prove its power.

However, every time I had to talk to Qingcang, my father's thin appearance appeared in my mind again and again, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of it.

Yes, my father once used those hands that killed the enemy on the battlefield, and wrote down every word tremblingly, and I still remember it.

- This is something that the Murong clan has guarded for generations, and you swear, you can't let anyone take it. Whether it's the emperor or Murong Yichen!

- I...... I swear that as long as I live, this thing will never fall into the hands of others! Whether it's Qingcang or Murong Yichen, I will never let them know about the existence of this thing.

Thinking of this, I finally put away the martial arts cheats again.

My father had fought so hard to keep what he had been guarding, and for whatever reason, I didn't have the courage to break my oath and leak it.
