Xue Lin didn't expect Xue Yao to summon her at the Chenfang Residence of the Frost Palace. She thought to herself," Could it be that he had started at the Sunken Fragrance Residence and was going to end at the Sunken Fragrance Residence? Forget it, what should come would come sooner or later. If he died, so be it.
Just as the two of them were about to step through the threshold of the High Frost Palace, the Ming Palace attendant said,""Consort Wei, don't go in. The emperor said that only the princess can go in.”
Zi Qing looked at Xue Lin in fear. Xue Lin returned him a bright smile. "It's okay. Wait for me here. I'll be out soon.”Zi Qing was still shaking his head, not letting go of her hand.
"Princess Xuexi, please!" The people of the Ming Palace were getting anxious and could only urge him again.
Xue Lin struggled out of Zi Qing's hand and stepped over the threshold.
" Xue…" Zi Qing pounced on her and hugged her tightly from behind. Tears fell on her hair and neck." You must come out. I beg you, you must come out!" I'll wait for you here, I'll wait for you…"
"It's okay, it'll be fine. Trust me!”Xue Lin struggled for a long time before she pulled his hand off and continued to walk forward.
Ziqing sat on the ground in a daze. His heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife. How could he lose her? Without her, he would die of heartache! What should he do? He could not let her die, no matter what! Even if he had to give it his all! Find someone to help, yes, find someone! But who? Royal husband? No, he was the Emperor's man. He would not save Xue. Then, who else could it be? Mother? Yun Miao?
Yun Miao?
Yun Miao!
Yes, Yun Miao had that ability. However…
Why would Yun Miao help Ah Xue? Perhaps this matter was Yun Miao's idea in the first place and she wanted to kill him with a borrowed knife. Yun Miao's words from two days ago were still echoing in his ears."
"Ziqing, is she that good? After knowing the truth, you still want to continue following her?”
Sorry, there was a problem with the computer yesterday, so I didn't update it, so I made up for it today. Please continue to support me. Remember to collect as many flowers as you can. I'm not afraid of being smashed by flowers.
He remembered that he smiled and said,""Yes, in terms of family background, she can't compare to you. In terms of talent, she is not as good as you. In terms of intelligence, she is even worse than you. Even her beauty is fake. However, she has one thing that you will never have. She has a crystal clear heart. What she can give me is all she has.”
"Is that so?" Yun Miao smiled bitterly. What she can give you, I can give you too. As long as you're willing…I…I can even make you my husband.”
Zi Qing shook his head. "You're wrong. What Ziqing wants is not to be a royal husband.”
"What's that?" Yun Miao asked.
"The only one. I will be her only one."
"The only one?" Yun Miao repeated in disbelief," Only? How was this possible? So, what you want is just an empty promise! You're willing to follow her with all your might just for this promise? Hehe, a woman will only marry one man in her life. Do you believe such a lie?”
"That's why she's different from you." She can give me a lifetime promise, but you can never give it.”
After saying that, Zi Qing walked away in the cool breeze. He could faintly hear Yun Miao shouting from behind,""She's lying to you. She can't even protect herself. How can she promise you a lifetime?”
What about Hiroshi? However, these people were all rejected by him in the next moment. For now, she could only rely on herself.
He was still kneeling at the door, unwilling to move an inch even when the sun was making him sweat profusely.
Every minute of waiting was a kind of torment and torture for him. It was the first time in his life that he felt so afraid and unbearable. How would the Emperor deal with Xue? Kill him? No, God, please save her, please…
He felt his eyes turn sour, as if something was trying to squeeze out. He wanted to hold it in, but in the end, he could not. Bean-sized teardrops dripped down one by one and fell to the ground. They seeped into the dust and quickly disappeared.
Xue…
As long as you are alive, I can do anything, anything…
Inside, Xue Yao was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. There was a hint of worry between her brows, and a single strand of white hair revealed her age and worries. Seeing Xue Lin walk in, she slowly opened her eyes and said,""You're here? Alright, close the door first! Come here, I have something to say to you. Yo, this body, it's probably about to give birth, right?”
"Soon, in a few days." Xue Lin sat in front of her," I wonder why the emperor called Xue Xi over."”
Xue Yao smiled. "Xue Xi, why don't you call me Imperial Grandmother now?" she asked after laughing. You're smart. You know that I suspect you, right?”
"Yes, I am. There was nothing in this world that could be hidden from the Emperor, right?”Xue Lin blinked at Yao Xue.
"Yes, I am. There was nothing in this world that could be hidden from the Emperor, right?”Xue Lin blinked at Yao Xue.
Xue Yao looked at Xue Lin carefully and said,""You're really bold. You know that I've discovered your identity, yet you still dare to come here. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? What makes me even more curious is how you dared to pretend to be Yun Xi's daughter. Don't you know that this is a great crime of beheading?”
"I know. But I have no choice."
"So you risked your life? Good, good! What a good 'no choice!'“
Xue Lin was so scared that her whole body turned cold as she waited for Xue Yao's punishment.
After a while, Xue Yao said," Actually, This Emperor already knew that you weren't Xuexi or This Emperor's granddaughter. All of this was planned by Yun Miao. This Emperor watched coldly from the side and watched what tricks you were up to. In the end, you managed to investigate the cause of Yun Xi's death. Just this point alone is already very good of you. I have always wondered why the High Priest would have such a prophecy. Later, when you stood in front of me, I finally understood. You should be called Xue Lin, right? Was he someone from another world? I don't care where you come from. I'm telling you now, Xue Lin, you will become the Emperor of Feng Nation.”
"The Emperor?" Xue Lin was shocked. She didn't know what Xue Yao was up to. After all, she felt that she was not smart enough to understand the meaning behind it. However, she instinctively felt that this was not a good thing. It seemed like there was a big conspiracy or a trap waiting for her to fall into. She strongly felt that her brain cells were not enough, so she could only repeat," Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The throne will never be mine. Please don't say such words again!”
"The imperial edict is here. Xuexi, accept it!" Xue Yao said seriously.
Xue Lin panicked and only knelt down to listen under Xue Yao's constant pressure.
"In accordance with the will of the heavens, in the thirty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan era of the Feng Country, Xue Yao's last words, I will pass on the throne to Princess Xue Xi of the Snow Tide Palace.”
No, this was impossible! How could this be? This was a dream, right, a dream! How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world? Xue Lin shook her head and tried to wake herself up, but her hand was already grabbed by Xue Yao. As soon as she met Xue Yao's gaze, she wanted to avoid it. Xue Yao turned her face and said,"Don't doubt it. It's true. Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you personally that our Feng Nation is going to be destroyed. This was the will of the heavens. The High Priestess had expected this. However, she said that a girl wearing a special bracelet would come to save our country. The girl came from the sky and her name was Xue Lin.”
"Prophecy? Another prophecy? There was no scientific basis for this at all! Look, your daughters are so outstanding, and any one of them is stronger than me. Why would you rather believe in an illusory prophecy than pass the throne to your daughter? To be honest, I feel that Yun Miao is most qualified to be the emperor.”
Xue Yao shook her head. "You don't understand. Yun Miao can't pick up this mess now! I would rather let her die than let this country collapse! Xue Lin, the Feng Kingdom is in deep trouble. I've been holding on so you can't see it. The calm on the surface was actually turbulent. A few years ago, the surrounding Shang, Yan, and Qi countries had already infiltrated our dynasty. Whether it's the army or the officials in the court, all of my subordinates are actually their people. Look at the palace. The royal guards have long been controlled by others! Yes, you're right. I've long been a puppet.”
Xue Lin was even more shocked and asked,""Then…how many of the officials in the court can be trusted? Even the Prime Minister can't be trusted?"
"Almost none." Xue Yao shook her head. The Prime Minister is trustworthy, but she has wild ambitions. Xue Xi, you have to be careful.”
"Then…what about the army? How much can be used?"
"Less than 20%." Xue Yao smiled bitterly."Now you understand why I can't hand the throne to Yun Miao, right? This country was already in shambles from the center and needed to undergo a major purge. The major blood change had to start from Yun Miao, so she couldn't pick up this mess.”
"Why do you think I can afford it? I can't either! I'm just a commoner. I don't know anything! My strategy is not even one ten-thousandth of your daughter's, let alone me!”
"No, you can! This was the will of the heavens! The heavens sent you here and coincidentally, I met you. You even have this peerless face and became my granddaughter. If this isn't heaven's will, what is it? You are the eldest daughter of the Di family, so inheriting the throne is only natural. No one will have any doubts. The most important point is that you have only been in the palace for a short period of time, and the three kingdoms have not placed anyone by your side. The process of you ascending to the throne is also an excellent opportunity to completely eliminate the enemy spies. With the new Emperor taking the throne, the Imperial Palace, the court, and the military would naturally have to undergo a huge change of blood. Only then would we be able to completely break free from the enemy country's control over our dynasty. Xuexi, this is your fate. You can't possibly see the people of this country being swallowed up by others, and everyone becoming slaves, right? I'm begging you, I'm begging you to find a way out for these tens of millions of people!”
