"Do you mean not to kill Xiaoxiao for the time being?" The bronze masked man looked at the empress in shock.
This was something she had always wanted to do, yet had been persuaded to do. Now, he actually changed his direction just for Ran Er's words. Clearly, Ran'er was much stronger than he had imagined.
"She said that she wanted to find two jade pendants on Xiaoxiao. As long as she had two jade pendants, she could grant us the rest." The empress had long believed Ran'er's words. Moreover, everything she did had to be believed by a mortal like her.
Now, all he had to do was wait for Xuanyuan Qi to be eliminated and Jie'er would quickly return to inherit the position of crown prince. Soon, everything would go according to his wishes. Her eyes revealed a heavy killing intent as she secretly glanced at the Ghost Face that was absent-minded.
"I've sent over a hundred assassins to wait at the entrance of the Wind Cloud Villa, and I've even offered a reward of 50,000 silver. As long as these lowly plants are planted outside the entrance, then the wilderness would be his burial ground." Ghost Face spoke with complete confidence.
But, how would he know that if the Wind Cloud Villa was only this much, how could they gain a foothold in the martial arts world?
Lowering his head, he kissed her forehead and said affectionately, "When will we be together in the open? Tell them that I am their father, and that I am not worthy!"
Speaking of the emperor, the empress's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles. She didn't want to see that day. Unless they really had no other choice.
Calmly glancing at the ghost mask, she impatiently pushed his mouth away, "What's the hurry? A few decades had passed, yet he still couldn't wait for these few days. "You better not speak carelessly. Ye'er has always disagreed with you, so don't make things difficult for us, mother and son, so we won't get along."
"Ai …" It's been a really tiresome day. " The Ghost Face took off the mask on his face, lay down, and tiredly closed his eyes.
The empress couldn't help but relax as she crawled into the Ghost Face's embrace and gently caressed his face. "I know that you've suffered so much all these years for the sake of our children, right? It won't be long before you are free. "
The word 'release' came out of her mouth with a different meaning. It was just that the Ghost Face, which was immersed in desire, didn't notice it.
With a flip of his body and a tug of the tent, he pressed her down, turning all his worries into desires. The kiss caused another wave of spring wind to blow through the Imperial Palace in the late autumn.
Outside the door, Ball had been kneeling and waiting, listening to the groans coming from inside, and he had pulled all the other servants out of the door.
"Where's the Queen Mother!?"
Balls had just dismissed them when he saw Xuanyuan Jie rushing towards them in a rage. She broke out in a cold sweat and had to shout loudly, "Reporting to Second Master, the empress's body is not feeling well. He's told not to see anyone."
"What a joke, I'm her son! Get out of my way!" Xuanyuan Jie kicked away the ball in front of him and knew that his master was inside.
When the two people inside heard that Xuanyuan Jie had come knocking, they jumped up from their beds and quickly tore off their clothes. The Ghost Face obediently opened the door, pretending to look sick as she leaned on the bed, waiting for her son to come.
The door opened and Xuanyuan Jie stormed in. Seeing her mother lying on the bed in distress, he couldn't help but suppress his anger. He cupped his hands and greeted her, "Your son greets your mother!"
"Do you remember the Queen Mother? For the sake of that second-hand goods, you have forgotten everything. It was a waste for your mother to nurture you for so many years. Cough, cough, cough! " The empress pretended to cough twice, patting her chest in a way that made people feel that it was so.
Xuanyuan Jie was furious in his heart. He did not like others insulting such a small thing, not even his mother. However, he could only shut his mouth when he saw his mother so angry.
Seeing that her son had remained silent, the empress grew even angrier and spoke up again aggressively, "What? Did the Queen Mother say something wrong? It's fine if Ye'er is like this, but you're actually adamant on not realizing it. For that woman, I will not listen to my master's words, and I will not listen to my mother's words. "
After a while, she continued to curse, "There are no women in the palace, you're fat and thin, as long as you choose someone you want. He just had to pick this guy. He was a bane. "Let's not talk about it. Is it more important to be a woman, or is your future?"
Xuanyuan Jie was silent for a moment before replying very clearly, "All of them are important!"
"How dare you!"
The empress was so angry that she jumped up from the bed, the ghost mask quickly helped her up.
She viciously stared at Xuanyuan Jie who had grown up on one hand, the more she looked, the angrier she got. Waving her finger, she wanted to curse, but she couldn't say a single word after a long time.
"Imperial Mother, please calm your anger!" Jell has grown up, and she will know what to do. " Xuanyuan Jie had long since witnessed Empress Mother's power and would have preferred to lower his head and listen to his lecture rather than look at her frightening eyes.
It's fine if she didn't hear this. But when she heard these words, the empress excitedly slapped Xuanyuan Jie's back and shouted angrily, "The wings are growing harder, are you going to fly now? Let me tell you, without the support of the Queen Mother, you are nothing! Look at how arrogant that mother and son pair are right now. Do you know how much suffering and fatigue Mother has had for you? "
As she spoke, the woman's habit of snot and tears had once again appeared on the stage, causing Xuanyuan Jie's original perseverance to waver a little.
"Mother, this son does not mean that. This son knows his wrongs! Imperial Mother, please calm your anger! " Afraid that his mother would be infuriated, Xuanyuan Jie could only obediently kneel down and kowtow to the elderly man.
Seeing this, the Ghost Face also began to persuade, "Jie'er has always been filial and filial, and never had any intention of offending you. I was lost for a while, it's good that you understand now. "
The empress only managed to calm herself down when she saw the ghost-masked man's expression. Lifting her hand, she held her head in exhaustion and was helped to sit down by the ghost-mask mask.
Xuanyuan Jie stood up and moved to the side, ready to listen to his mother's lecture. He wanted to choke out everything he wanted to say.
"You've been out of the palace long enough. What else did you do but look for that woman?" The queen sat down, her eyes still darting over her son.
"After I return to my mother, the heavens will leave the palace …"
Xuanyuan Jie casually made up some things to report to his mother. He knew that his master would say good words on the side, so he would only do so after everything that had happened today had been quelled.
"Yes!"
The empress smiled after listening to his words.
After coaxing the Queen Mother to happiness, Xuanyuan Jie and the Ghost-Mask slowly walked out of the room. Master and disciple walked into another room, closed the door, and began their intimate conversation.
"Master and disciple entered another secret passage. Xuanyuan Jie's suppressed anger was about to burst. Clatter! He let out a cry of displeasure as he swept all the cups on the table to the floor.
"It's for that woman again?" The Ghost Face looked at Xuanyuan Jie and also expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Why? Why are you and your mother against such small children? " Xuanyuan Jie asked in confusion, as he opened his mouth and continued to speak, "She's just a little girl, a little girl that I like! Furthermore, to be able to snatch her away from that bastard is also the pride of a man.
The Ghost-Masked Man did not plan to give face to Xuanyuan Jie. He hoped that the boy would wake up a little and rudely asked: "Do you have that confidence?"
Xuanyuan Jie immediately calmed down without saying a word. He sat down and closed his eyes. His mind was filled with that fearless little smile. Her gentle hands were massaging his face as he looked at him with those emotionless eyes.
When would that feeling of nine fragrances being enchanted ever come again?
He was certain that as long as he returned to the palace, it would be impossible for him to get any closer. Thus, he did not want her to return to the palace to be some princess consort.
"Since you are not confident, why must you go against your mother for the sake of a woman? Your mother did it for your own good, so your future lies in just a single thought. " The Ghost Face patiently tried to persuade him, hoping that he would still listen at this time.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "With the throne, why would you be afraid that she wouldn't follow us? I don't believe that there's no woman who doesn't want to be a queen. "
"There's nothing we can do if we don't believe her. She doesn't seem to care about anything." Xuanyuan Jie shook his head. If it was that easy to deal with her, then she wouldn't be a little girl.
Only when a woman was unable to be touched or seen through like she was would they be able to become the best of the best. Where in the palace could one find such a treasure?
As long as the women here had money and power, they wouldn't need to spend too much effort to make them transparent.
He hated to see the desire in the eyes of those women. Especially that bastard who raised him in that cheap house, he even wanted to confuse him.
"I never believed that a woman doesn't love money, unless she isn't a woman at all!" The ghost-mask man muttered to himself, he didn't believe this. It was because Jie'er was not well off that he would be easily deceived.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business. In any case, I only want her. As long as she is my empress." Xuanyuan Jie was still firm in this thought and no one could change it.
"Good!" As long as you want to sit in that position. As for that woman, I will advise your mother. " The Ghost Face patted Xuanyuan Jie's shoulder and asked another person out of concern, "Did Ye'er not come back with you?"
"What did you say?" Third Brother still hasn't come back yet? " Xuanyuan Jie's mind became clear. He clearly remembered to ask that brat to come back first, so how could he have not returned to the palace?
Where did he go?
Did he find Xiaoxiao?
With a frown, his heart skipped a beat as he scolded, "This brat is getting more and more lewd. Master, you'd better find someone to watch him. Don't create trouble."
"He left for that woman too, didn't he?" The Ghost Face sneered, I can't help but admire that demoness for having such a way.
Speechless, Xuanyuan Jie really did not know what to say to his master.
The Ghost Face looked at him and continued, "When he wants to come back, he will naturally come back. Ye'er is worried about the Queen, so he won't stay outside for too long."
"I hope so!" Xuanyuan Jie sighed deeply.
Thinking about it, since he had fallen into such a small and gentle village, his third brother would not be able to escape. He heard that that lowly bastard had recently gone crazy as well as he tried to find her whereabouts.
In the end, he was looking forward to seeing who would win.
Seeing Xuanyuan Jie's absent-minded look, the Ghost Face reminded him seriously, "Recently, the assassins from Storm Villa have been very active and might make some big movements. You'd better be alert and not get caught up in the love affair between your children."
"Jie'er understands." Xuanyuan Jie quietly replied.
"Since you're back, do what you need to do in the palace. That old man has been very ill recently, you'd better go take a look." The Ghost Face was jealous of Xuanyuan Zhenhua and hated him, but he didn't want Jie'er to think that his heart was being too evil, lest one day he discovered the truth and hated him.
