"I don't want you to leave …" Xiaowan was choked with sobs, but Ling Chaofeng mercilessly opened her hands.
was fighting with the Heavenly Soldier Tianyin. Dragon Queen flew over and took his grandson away, watching them rush down the cliff, using the Immortal Binding Lock to tie his son up and drag him into the Heavenly Court.
"Chu Feng, Hubby …" Xiaowan shouted loudly, but she couldn't see anything. She could only see Ling Chaofeng rising straight into the sky and disappearing in an instant.
When the black clouds dissipated and the sky returned to its bright and clear state, Little Pei struggled free from his grandmother's mouth and flew back to his mother's side.
"Little Pei, did you see your father? Where did he go?"
Her weak and strong body was pressed firmly onto the cliff wall. She could not breathe, and her neck was almost strangled off.
He raised his head again and saw that Little Pei had already returned, throwing himself into her arms, crying as he said, "Mother, don't die! Mother, don't abandon Little Pei!"
The Xiaowan looked around in fear, and a human figure gradually appeared in front of her. A noble lady came from nowhere and walked towards her step by step.
"Since you guessed he was extraordinary, why did you force him to show himself?" Dragon Queen glared at Xiaowan, his entire body filled with hostility.
Although her white hair had become black, she clearly remembered that this was the white haired old lady who gave her the Jade Ring.
The Dragon Queen glared at her fiercely. "Everything was because of you, and because of you, he was punished to stand guard over the Imperial City for a thousand years. "As long as you live, he won't be able to rest in peace. How about I bear the sins and end your life early? I'll go to the Bridge of Helplessness and drink a bowl of Grandma Meng's Elixir there, then I'll forget everything else."
Little Pei stood in front of his mother, begging his grandmother to let his mother go.
The Xiaowan did not understand what the Dragon Queen was saying and was infuriated for no reason. She struggled to stand up and stared at the Dragon Queen without showing any signs of weakness: "Then tell me, what happened? Why did you steal my husband?"
"If I kill you, the world would be at peace." Dragon Queen revealed a sinister look, he had already raised her hand, as his evil aura gathered in the palm of her hand.
Seeing this, Little Pei thought that the Golden Dragon was going to confront her grandmother, but at this moment, all the uncles rushed over to bring her mother away. Now was not the time to be entangled with a mortal, they had to work hard to lessen the punishment for the Chaofeng.
The wind stopped, the world was at peace. Xiaowan did not see Little Pei's uncles, she only knew that the person Little Pei called granny had instantly disappeared. Her legs went soft, and she fell onto the ground.
Could that person be her mother-in-law?
"Mom, are you in pain?" Little Pei ran over to Xiaowan and hugged her, crying as he touched her neck. There was a purple mark on her mother's neck, if there was even a little bit more, she would have been strangled to death by her grandmother.
"Little Pei, you and your father are both dragons, are both immortals?" Xiaowan asked, "Your father went back to become a deity, so he can't be with your mother anymore, right?"
"I can't say." Little Pei cried, "If I say it, then I can't be mother's son in the mortal world."
Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat and she immediately hugged her son, "I won't say anymore, Mother won't ask you. Little Pei doesn't cry, it's just that it's not good for Mother, it's not painful at all, it's not painful at all. "
"Mother, don't court death anymore." Little Pei said.
"If you don't want to die, mother will never think about it again." Xiaowan promised while crying, "Little Pei be good, Mom won't scare you anymore, okay?"
The mother and son pair cried for a while. Although Xiaowan was still confused, she still could not figure out what had happened. But because of how scared Little Pei was, she could not bear to have her son cry.
Little Pei conjured a Golden Dragon and brought his mother back to the top of the cliff. Not long after they landed, the sound of rapid hoof steps could be heard.
Uncle Biao rode his horse and came here. Seeing that the mother and son were safe and sound, the tall and sturdy man actually cried.
"Uncle …"
"Xiao'er, it's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine."
On the other side, the Xiaowan had experienced an incomparably mystical experience. No matter what, she finally saw Ling Chaofeng, and 1000 miles away, Bi Zhenye and Ershan would also give the emperor an answer scroll.
Bi Zhenye answered the emperor first, saying that he was willing to give up his title, atone for his mother's sins, and accept the punishment for her.
The emperor looked at Ershan and asked, "What about you?"
Ershan said calmly: "The students' surnames are Ling, with the names of Ling and Ling, people with Li Prefecture, they operate inns at home. Students were not the end industry, and this had nothing to do with Bi Family. If we do not start a trial for the family affairs of the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, we should not let outsiders meddle in this. "
Bi Zhenye looked at Ershan in shock and the officials below him started whispering to each other. Only the emperor laughed clearly: "Is this your answer?"
Ershan asked the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you just said that you assumed that Prime Minister's Estate had once spoiled their wives."
Xiang Run nodded: "That's right, just a hypothesis. But what about your background? Was your answer just now just a hypothesis or a true answer? "
Ershan looked at Sovereign King: "This student is Ling Chaofeng's brother, the son of Ling Xiao Inn."
Inside the Prime Minister's Estate, because his own son had participated in the examination and the Hall Competition, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi had avoided taking part in the examination and was anxiously waiting for the results together with his family.
His son had only made it to the fifth place in the examination, so if he made it to the top three, he would definitely be mocked by his peers.
"Little Xi, go take a look. Why hasn't there been any news yet?" The reason the Old Madem brought Hanxi back from the temple was to receive good news from her grandson. And her grandson was not only Bi Zhenye, he was also from another industry as well.
Just as Hanxi got up, the servant ran back and said with a face full of hesitation: "Master, Young Master did not make it to the top three."
Mrs. Bi fell heavily onto the chair. He let out a long sigh, feeling both anger and resentment. However, he heard his mother ask anxiously: "What about the industry?"
The servant was startled, Hanxi quickly replied: "It was Ling Yu."
That person hurriedly replied, "He's not in the top three either."
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi looked at him in shock: "Really, Ling Xu isn't in the top three?"
At the moment, the officials under the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi had rushed over, wanting to tell him everything that had happened today. Thus, he brought them to the study room in a hurry.
In the hall, the Old Madem sighed lightly: "It's alright, we have already advanced. Little Xi, come and help Grandma go back to her room. "
"That's right. After all, he is a scholar, and that shabby inn has ties to the royal family. What is he worried about?" Mrs. Bi stood up and smiled mournfully, "He is the direct descendant of our son, Zhenye. He is just a concubine's son.
Old Madem sneered: "This is retribution, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself. Zhenye and Hanxi are innocent, don't drag them into this, do you think that Zhenye has no hope? I don't think so. Their brothers are very close, and they will support each other. "However, all of the good things are unrelated to you. All of the evil things are done by you."
She could only persuade her grandmother and send her back to the Inner Palace for a rest. As soon as the grandfather and grandson pair walked to the corridor, they heard their mother wailing miserably, and she asked in a shrill voice, "Why, why …."
Outside of the imperial city, the top scorer led the group on horseback to receive congratulations from the people. As the long line of people left, the streets were filled with cheering civilians and family members of the top three. The whole city was filled with a sense of joy and excitement.
Ershan was walking alone on the road back to the inn. Without the top scholar, no one would pursue him, and Bi Zhenye had long been carried away by his family.
Suddenly, someone patted his back. He turned around and saw that it was his elder brother.
Bi Zhenye laughed: Go have a drink? I haven't had a drink in a long, long time. "
Ershan asked: "Are you good at drinking?"
The rankings for the top three new subjects were quickly released to the entire country. A few days later, the Prefect Liang received the news.
As for the Li Prefecture, they had already made preparations to celebrate their top scholar. As a result, Ling Qian was not even in the top three, nor was he a flower scout.
When the news spread to the tavern, no one was disappointed. Now that the Xiaowan and Little Pei had been found again, the entire family was neat and tidy. When Ershan returned back from his work in the capital, the family was reunited.
Although no one brought up the matter of courting death, Susu was still very worried, and wanted Xiaowan to go to her house in Baisha Village to stay with her for a few days.
Today, because she was receiving the Constable Li, Xiaowan had finally returned to the inn. As usual, Aunt Zhang would stuff some beef and wine dishes onto him, but today, she said: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have stayed over for a night and not had a drink with the shopkeeper. Maybe I would have owed the wine, but Manager Ling is still alive."
He sighed, put down the wine and dishes, and said goodbye to everyone before urging his horse to leave.
Aunt Zhang looked at Xiaowan, and walked up to her and advised: "Don't be sad, it's because we are good to Feng Ren, that's why everyone cares about him."
Xiaowan nodded: "I know."
Aunt Zhang pursed her lips and said worriedly: "Evening, no matter where you go, you have to tell Aunt that our family will always be together."
Xiaowan still nodded. "Aunt, don't worry."
That night, Little Pei slept at Susu's house while Xiaowan slept alone on the bed. In fact, in the past few days, she had been repeatedly thinking about what had happened that day.
She gradually understood the meaning of his mother-in-law's words, as if it was because of her that her husband died. On that day, when she was looking to die to find her husband, she called out Ling Chaofeng.
"Is it all my fault?" Xiaowan sat up, hugging her blanket, "Could it be because of me?"
It was at this moment, the window was opened by the strong wind, and a cold wind blew in. Xiaowan opened the curtain, and saw a woman walking towards her.
Yue Huaiyin? How could she still be alive …
Xiaowan's entire body tensed up, while Yue Huaiyin laughed sharply: "Mu Xiaowan, you also have such a day?"
