C1

It was the winter of the forty-eight years of Tianxin Kingdom — Tian Luan City.

It was snowing heavily, the gale was raging, trees were snapped, and horses were caved in. Looking around, the entire city was a vast expanse of whiteness, and a bone-chilling cold seemed to freeze the entire world. It had been more than a month since he had seen the light.

It was a time of short days and long nights. Coupled with the harsh weather, the pale sky had been replaced with twilight.

At this moment, although the streets were brightly lit, not a single sound could be heard. The silence was breathtaking.

All the believers in this country were praying for blessings from heaven. They had stopped the heavy snow that they had never seen in hundreds of years. They were hoping that they would wake up tomorrow and see the sun that they hadn't seen in a long time.

In the twilight, the Jade Magnolia Restaurant, covered in a thick layer of snow, seemed to be covered by a layer of silver as it sparkled even brighter.

Within the Green Radiance Palace, the leader of the Heavenly Letter Kingdom, Xin Xiao, who was in his prime, sat atop his throne, looking down at the officials standing below him. A few of the nobles in the imperial court sat on their high horse, looking down at the officials standing below them.

"My lord, this snow has lasted for more than a month. If we don't think of something soon, it might cause panic among the citizens and cause unnecessary commotion. It is hard to say if the other countries won't take advantage of this situation." The middle-aged Prime Minister Sun Dong took a step forward and was the first to speak.

"My lord, I think Prime Minister Sun's words are reasonable, and now that I, Tian Xin, have been tormented by this strange snow, if another country took the opportunity to invade and fight against another country, they would not even have the strength to fight back. If several countries attacked at the same time, our country would definitely be attacked from all sides, and it would be difficult to deal with them!" Imperial Physician Li Jien also stepped forward and said.

After a moment of silence, Xin Xiao turned his head to look at the eunuch, An Jihai, and said, "An Jihai, the imperial overseer has come to see me!"

"Yes sir!" An Jihai was about to deliver the order when he suddenly heard a voice from outside the hall, "Reporting to the king, Master Hua Kong requests an audience!"

Master Hua Kong, the person who was at the helm of the current Sky Master Sect, the one who could take over the entire universe, the one who knew the past and the future, the one who was the successor of the Empire, the great master Hua Kong?

I heard that three years ago, when Ji Feng was about to be born, Grandmaster Hua Kong had been to Ji Ling City. Two years ago, when we were about to be born, he had also been to Kunyang City and Cloud Entering City. Furthermore, a year ago, when the princess of Feather Phoenix descended, he had personally come to Fengdu and left the phoenix in Fengdu. Now that he had once again left the mountain and came to Heaven's End City, could it be …

"Ahh …"

The painful cries of a woman could be heard from within the Orchid Heaven Palace, accompanied by the increasingly fierce wind blowing outside the hall. Listening to it caused one's heart to clench.

On the Phoenix Couch, the beautiful woman's hair was drenched in sweat. Her jade-like face was as pale as paper and her slender hands tightly gripped the brocade blanket.

This person was the mother of today's country — Baili Lanruo.

Every time he spoke of Lan Xin, everyone in the world would be filled with envy. The Orchid Empress and the Tian Xin Kingdom's emperor were childhood sweethearts, and they had deep feelings for each other. When Fu Xiao was still a storage king, he had already decided to marry her privately. After he ascended the throne, he even laid down ten miles of red makeup, married Baili Lanruo to enter Heaven's Lot City, and personally oversaw the construction of this awe-inspiring palace.

However, after the empress had been married for two years, the empress had never given birth to a dragon. As the saying goes, the emperor was not in a hurry, but having no heir was a great matter that concerned the future of the Heavenly Letter Kingdom. That was why the emperors and subjects of the empress had no choice but to fill up the imperial harem.

The next year, Consort Yue gave birth to her eldest son, Xin Yuanchuan, and was given the title of Imperial Consort.

Although he was the only one who doted on his son, there was still a gap between the two of them.

After three more years passed in this neither warm nor warm manner, the Orchid Queen became pregnant. The Shifter Owl could not help but smile. He had fantasies in his heart. Now that he had a child, he and the Orchid Queen could definitely return to the past.

All of a sudden, a dazzling red electrode streaked across the sky with a flash. The bright stars lit up the world as red as blood.

The Verdant Light Palace's figurehead, several ministers, and a monk over a hundred years old were all standing in front of the hall.

"He's here!" That monk's gaze did not leave the stars in the sky as he gently said these two words. His old face only had calmness and emptiness. With one look, one could tell that he was a high monk that had broken away from the mortal world.

In the next moment, without waiting for him to ask any questions, the dark red starlight grew even more powerful. Suddenly, he heard a strange clear whistle, and red lightning fiercely descended from the nine heavens above.

"What's that?" Prime Minister Sun asked with narrowed eyes.

Even though the light was blinding, everyone was still staring at the star.

"That is …" Looking at the direction where the crimson beam of light had descended, An Jihai's eyes widened as he let out a cry of surprise.

"The Blue Owl Palace!" The gallant was also surprised. His heart tightened. The first thing he thought of was the name of his beloved — Lan Ruo!

Another clear whistle rang out, and the red light shone straight down into the hall. The pure white snowflakes in the sky reflected a scarlet light.

"Ahh …"

The woman used all her strength to shout the last time.

"Wow …"

The sound of a child's cry resounded through the entire Tian Luan City.

At that moment, all of the snow and ice seemed to have been melted by the scorching red light. The world instantly returned to its original tranquility, and Mistress Yue quietly stuck her head out, as if she wanted to see the newborn baby.

Her tired expression made Lan Ying breathe slowly. Her body was drenched with sweat, but it still couldn't cover up the enchanting beauty.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the midwife cried out in surprise, "Ah!"

The Orchid Queen slightly frowned and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Her low voice trembled, and she raised her weak and weak hand, "Mother Zhao, is it a boy or a girl? Let me see! "

"Mother … Esteemed Empress, this is … Little Princess … " Wife Zhao held the newborn baby and slowly walked to the bedside. Her voice was even more trembling and powerless than the Blue Queen who had experienced childbirth.

The empress saw her strange expression and felt uneasy. She tried her best to prop herself up and take her newborn child from Mrs Zhao's hands. She lowered her eyes to look at the infant and could not help but exclaim in surprise and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Yi …" Perhaps the infant in her arms felt her mother's panic and panic and wanted to comfort her, but unexpectedly, a smile blossomed on its wrinkled face.

"Little Princess... "He can actually laugh!" Mrs Zhao said in surprise.

It was a white and tender child. Her delicate face seemed as if it could change shape with a light touch. Her sweet smile was very likeable, but … What caused the Lan Empress and Madame Zhao to exclaim in surprise was the infant's pair of crimson red eyes and the head of crimson hair. Those two barely visible crimson brows … How could this be?

"This is …" "My child?" The Orchid Queen stared at the infant, spitting out these words in disbelief.

"The king has arrived!"

A sharp voice came from outside the hall, abruptly jolting the shocked empress Lan awake.

"Mother Zhao, you are someone that I trust. You must help me protect this child!"

"This... What does the Empress want this old servant to do? " Mrs Zhao lowered her head.

She also knew that the Empress Lan naturally trusted her, or else she wouldn't have mentioned her name and asked her to enter the palace to serve her.

The Orchid Queen furrowed her delicate eyebrows in thought for a moment. "Quickly go back to the kingdom and say that you are a prince!"

"But... If the future Emperor finds out … "

"Who cares about the future, hurry up and go!" Lan Zhi ordered resolutely.

In this world where both men and women were inferior to each other, even if it was the prince or his highness, he would still be treated as a demon, let alone a princess! The king only had a son under his wing. Including the man who was just born, he only had two princes. There was still a chance for him to be transferred to the outside world.

"Yes sir!" Mrs Zhao also understood the meaning behind Empress Lan's words and left.

Just as Mrs Zhao was about to walk out of the Owl 'Orchid Hall, the Conviction Owl had already started striding towards her.

"This old servant pays his respect to the king!" Madame Zhao bowed towards the young monarch.

"Is the Empress well?" Sure enough, the person the fiance was most concerned about was not the child, but the girl he loved to the bones.

"Returning to its owner, mother and son are safe!" The woman replied respectfully.

A hint of happiness appeared on the face of the gallant Xiao Xin, she quickened her steps and entered the Orchid Heaven Palace.

"Lanruo!" Before the person had arrived, the sound had already arrived.

The Orchid Queen carried her newborn child as she leaned weakly on the edge of the bed, lightly glancing at the messenger owl as she walked in.

Xin Xiao walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He lifted the hair at the side of the woman's temples and gently held her hand. "Lanruo, you've worked hard!"

The empress looked at her king, whom she loved dearly, and smiled faintly. She opened her mouth weakly and said, "My lord, you will love our child as much as Lanruo does, right?"

"Of course!" He smiled and answered without a second thought.

Upon hearing his guarantee, the Lan Empress looked at the child in her arms with some unease.

The Xiao Wu followed her gaze and glanced at the infant, and after confirming the infant's appearance, the smile on his face instantly froze, and the words Master Hua Kong said outside the Green Radiance Hall once again resounded in his ears … From the other side of the planet, fire was the bane of one's life. He couldn't, he couldn't …

"No wonder Master Hua Kong said that …" A hint of sternness suddenly surged into his pitch-black eyes as he repeated the words of Grandmaster Hua Kong, "Flame of the Other Shore of the Fairies, I will destroy your homeland with my life. "We can't leave him alive, we can't leave him alive..."

When the empress heard those heartless words, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, a bone-piercing chill... He subconsciously held the infant in his arms, and raised his cold and bloodless jade-like face as he said slowly, word by word, "I don't care about what Heavenly Master says, that this child was born because of me in October, everything to me, I do not want anyone to hurt him!"

Hearing such sharp and resolute words, the Reliance Owl was stunned. That was her child, and it was also his! However... From ancient times until now, all the prophecies of the previous generations of Heavenly Masters had been fulfilled. If this child was truly the reincarnation of a Demonic Star, destined to meet the heavenly calamity and vanquished an entire nation, then naturally he could not be allowed to live …

"Someone, come!" In the end, he steeled his heart and gritted his teeth as he called for the people outside the hall.

"Emperor!" An Jihai heard the summons and rushed in.

Without waiting for the Beard Owl to give the order, the Lan Queen did her best to shout out, "Beard Owl! "He is your son as well, a tiger that is venomous and yet not to be eaten …"

Tears rolled down her cheeks with the sound of her voice and dripped onto the baby's small face. The child seemed to sense the grief and fear of the mother and burst into tears.

An Jihai carefully raised his eyes to look at the empress with a fiery demeanor, not daring to interrupt her. When his gaze shifted to the infant in Lan Xi's embrace, he broke out in a cold sweat and almost cried out. He recalled Master Hua Kong's words in his mind … From the other side of the planet, fire was the bane of one's life. He couldn't, he couldn't … She immediately understood why the Empress argued.

"How could chenqie forget …" His Majesty is the head of the Conviction Sect, the ruler of an entire country. He shouldn't be stuck in a relationship like this … " Orchid Queen suddenly smiled slightly, "Alright then … His Majesty was determined to get rid of him. Then, this subject shall be put to death along with your concubine! "

That beautiful smile was filled with mockery in the eyes of the Xiao Xin. That melodious voice was filled with a piercing pain when it entered his ears … When he took on his wife five years ago, she'd said this ….

His Majesty was the head of the Conviction Sect, the ruler of an entire country. He shouldn't be stuck in a relationship with the emperor...

But now … She wanted him to kill her too?! She clearly knew how much she weighed in his heart, so how could she still say such words …

I can't go back …. In the end, he couldn't go back …

"Don't let us see him again!" He then turned around and left with a swish of his sleeve.

An Jihai didn't even dare to take a deep breath and followed him out gloomily.

The huge chamber was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. The woman on the bed stared fixedly in the direction of the king's departure, not reacting for a long time.

Suddenly, a child's cry rang out, calling back the person in a trance.

"Yellow sorghum in one dream, Orchid Ode to the Vast Expanse." Her two tears rolled out of her eyes and fell into the blanket. She raised her jade-like fingers and gently caressed the child's face. A bitter smile hung on her face as she said, "Child, can you just call me Cang Qu?"

The young child seemed to be replying to her, instantly stopping his crying and smiling with a wrinkled face.

The Orchid Queen looked at her extremely understanding daughter and sighed deeply, "Ah Qu …" "My bitter child …"
