Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment before a smile appeared on her small, wrinkled face. She calmly picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her mouth before swallowing it. Only then did she open her mouth and say, "Don't worry, Xiao Yao Residence will definitely be safe."

"Why?" However, she was extremely puzzled. This girl was really not afraid of death.

Xiaoxiao looked at him proudly without any regret. She intentionally bought a clue and lazily replied, "Take a guess and see what the reason is."

He didn't regret what he heard and was even more conflicted. After thinking for a while, he could only shake his head.

"Xuanyuan Jie won't let me die. If he's gone, he must have left spies behind as well. Even if these assassins were sent by the empress, they would not dare to disobey Xuanyuan Jie's orders, so it would be safe to go back. Moreover, Xiao Yao Residence and the Nine Fragrance Sect are together, so it's not difficult to set up a formation. " Little Jun's continuous analysis of the current situation gave him a relieved smile.

She knew very well that the empress hated her to the bones, but that woman had always doted on Xuanyuan Jie. No matter how much she hated him, that woman would still care about the relationship between mother and son, so she wouldn't act brazenly. Furthermore, Xuanyuan Jie was not someone who was easy to deal with. Sometimes, he was even more manly than Xuanyuan Zhi.

Men weren't bad, but women didn't love them. Bad men still had a market, especially in her tiny heart. It was definitely worth looking back and smiling at.

He did not regret not understanding and felt that their relationship was very complicated. He lowered his head and put his hands together, "Amitabha!"

"Hehe!" There are some things that you don't understand, hurry up and eat, eat until you're full then go to sleep. She was happy for a moment. She wasn't afraid of any killers after returning to her own territory. Plus, no one would have thought that she would have such a big flower house outside the city. She had definitely found a way out.

If one day you can really get rid of all that trouble, this may be a good place to get old age.

"Amitabha!" He did not regret closing his eyes and felt that he still could not see through a lot of things.

Looking at her childish face, he suddenly felt that if this girl could escape into the void, her perception would definitely be above his.

The look in her eyes was a little strange. The duck leg that had just reached her mouth didn't fit inside. Turning her head, she half-closed her eyes, pouted, and said in a serious tone: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in your sect, I'm more interested in men, especially those handsome ones, Wakaka! I drool when I look at it. "

"Amitabha!" "Amitabha …"

He didn't regret being frightened by such a small thing. He got up and walked out of the house, and he heard the sound of the little girl's loud laughter.

"What?" "There's actually such a thing?" Xuanyuan Jie slapped the table and jumped up from his chair, looking at the servant who had come to report.

Clank!

In his rage, he threw the wine cup in his hand. Taking a deep breath, he was just about to head over to the Queen Mother's side to ask about the situation when he saw Xuanyuan Ye walk in.

Xuanyuan Ye made a retreating gesture and all the servants left their rooms, conveniently closing the door behind them. Thus, only the two brothers were left in the room.

The two of them were silent for a while, looking at each other. After a while, they finally heard someone say something.

"You heard about it?" Xuanyuan Jie was so angry that his face turned green as he paced back and forth. He really wanted to find a place to vent his anger.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Ye seemed very calm, as if he already knew why his second brother was so angry. He had come over just now from the empress's side to scold his, so he had come over to discuss with second brother about how to save Xiaoxiao.

"Why do you think Mother must kill Xiaoxiao?" Xuanyuan Jie paced back and forth, increasingly unable to comprehend the secret hidden in the Queen Mother's heart.

Looking at his third brother, he shook his head and said, "Xiaoxiao is just a girl who doesn't know anything. Is it just because she is someone's concubine?"

Xuanyuan Ye gave a cold laugh as he calmly looked at Second Brother, "Just now, when I came over from the Queen Mother's side, I also mentioned about the assassin. "The Queen Mother refused to admit even in death that she was the one who sent the killer."

"If it's not her, who else could it be? Are we going to send someone to kill Xiaoxiao? A woman, just a little woman, why was Imperial Mother unwilling to let go? I don't believe that such a cute girl like Xiaoxiao can take the world away from me. " Xuanyuan Jie thought it over, but aside from his mother, he could not think of a second person.

Xuanyuan Ye was still very calm. He glanced at Second Brother before slowly opening his mouth again, "Imperial Mother shouldn't do this. Even if I did, it would only be because I was bewitched by someone that I would become so heartless."

Xuanyuan Jie froze for a moment. Of course he knew who his third brother was thinking about. He looked at his third brother and shook his head, unwilling to believe this suspicion.

Xuanyuan Ye casually sat on a chair and really wanted to drink a cup of water. However, when he saw that the floor was littered with fragments, he lost the mood to do so. Glancing at second brother, he felt that this matter had to be understood by second brother, lest they speak about provoking the relationship between master and disciple.

"I don't believe it!" Xuanyuan Jie closed his eyes.

"When something really happens to Xiaoxiao one day, will you still be able to say those words then?" Xuanyuan Ye calmly said.

Xuanyuan Jie paced back and forth in annoyance. No matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't accept it. Finally, he went crazy and shouted at Xuanyuan Ye, "Why are you always against Master? Even if you don't like him, you don't need to provoke our relationship."

Uh!

Xuanyuan Ye was stunned. He looked at second brother with grievance, not knowing how to explain himself.

Then, looking at the expression on third brother's face, Xuanyuan Jie started to believe in third brother's words. Lowering his head, he rubbed the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he dashed out of the door and dashed towards the direction of the main entrance.

Phoenix Palace

"Why? Don't you understand what I'm saying? "You …" The empress pointed angrily at the ghost mask. If it wasn't for him helping her all these years, she would have pierced his heart with her sword long ago.

The ghost face sat calmly on the chair, his expression showed no signs of repentance. After drinking a mouthful of tea, he calmly said, "She is lucky that she did not die."

"Luckily she didn't die, otherwise we would have sacrificed our lives for her!"

This was the first time she'd been angered to this extent by the ghost-mask. The empress's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she took in a deep breath and sat on the chair, using her hands to support her aching head.

The Ghost Face sighed, looked at the Queen, and said with an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, "Life-loss. If she doesn't die, then your two sons will be taken by her!"

At the mention of her two sons, the empress became highly nervous. Suddenly raising her head, she looked at the ghost mask very seriously.

One second, two seconds, three seconds …

She could see something she had never seen before in his eyes. It was a kind of domineering aura, the kind of domineering aura that wanted to completely control her.

No!

Was he mistaken?

She rubbed her eyes and opened them again, realizing that she was right. In her heart, a bad feeling made her mentally exhausted.

Suddenly, she asked, "Have you changed?"

"Changed?" As he repeated these two words, Xuanyuan Jie burst into wild laughter.

After laughing, he looked at the Queen with a worried expression and said, "Yes! It's your son who changed, did you, as a mother, not see it at all, did you not feel it at all? "

"Has he changed?" The empress continued to mutter, and once again heard the ghost mask.

"You didn't see your two sons lost to that woman every day. Before that woman appeared, when did Qi'er ever rebel against us? When did she not think about the position of Crown Prince? When did she not think about how to eliminate that bastard? But what was he doing now? I have been guarding that damned woman every day, and now I don't even care about the matters of the palace anymore. " The Ghost Face threw all the questions to the empress, hoping that she could think it through. If this carried on, not to mention his position as Crown Prince, even her life might be in her hands one day.

The empress looked at him but didn't say anything. Why couldn't she feel the change in her son? Except, she knew that there were some things that happened now, then again. She didn't want to spoil the relationship between mother and son for a woman. She had already thought about it, so there was no need for that.

The Ghost-Mask was getting more and more agitated as he spoke, so much so that his tone of voice lost all respect for the empress, "Empress, look clearly, where did that woman go to? With which man? Was there any danger? I can even refute you for that woman. "

That's right!

Jie Er had always been competitive since young, but had always been obedient to his mother. He had never retorted to anything, would never go against him, and he would never throw away all his face for a woman.

Since the woman's appearance, however, she had more than once disobeyed her orders. Even Ye'er was like this. Sometimes, she simply didn't put her dignity in her eyes.

"Kill her. As long as you kill her, everything will return to normal. We can still fight for the throne, as we did before. As long as they killed her, they would at most suffer for a few days, and then leave some beautiful girls by their side. In a few months, he would be able to forget about the woman. Furthermore, you are their mother after all, and I am their father. There was a pause, then Hell called out the name he hadn't called in years. "Ji'er, don't forget our ultimate goal."

This somewhat unfamiliar name caused the empress to suddenly wake up. She rubbed her temples and looked at the deep emotions in the ghost-masked woman's eyes, before suddenly recalling that the emperor had once called out her name in such a intimate manner. At that time, she had been upright for twenty-eight years. Now, however, the wrinkles had fully covered his skin, and his elastic skin had begun to loosen up.

Youth, gone will not come back; age, gone will not have.

Hate?

Apart from hatred, were there any other emotions that had been hidden in his heart all these years?

At a loss, she was completely at a loss.

"Ji'er, you have to wake up. Time waits for no one. If you miss, then all of us are finished. We have to make some preparations before that bastard comes back. " Seeing that the empress was about to waver, the Ghost Face continued to lull her along. "If one day he finds out the identities of Ye'er and Jie'er, do you think they'll be able to live?"

"No …" The empress held her head and shook her head, her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded, "Please don't say it, don't say it."

"Don't say it!" You don't have to face it if you don't want to say it? "The old man is almost done for. If we still can't handle that bastard and wait to be tortured, have you forgotten the haughty Imperial Concubine Mei?" The Ghost Face continued to speak aggressively, and seeing the Queen's rage, he was even more unwilling to stop.

The empress covered her head with her hands as she heard the ghost-face buzzing by her ear. Right now, she really wanted to find a hole to hide in so that she could have some peace and quiet.

"Ji'er!" Demon Face placed both his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her with affection. He said very gently, "You must kill that woman, you must!"
