Report to the Lord God, the Demon King has the ability to read minds

"I can't let go, I really can't let go..." The voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, carrying endless pain. Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, making people feel a pang of pain.

"Please go out, I beg you, I just want to be alone for a while." Her tone was as flat as dead water, without the slightest ripple, but it contained deep fatigue and sadness.

Xu Jinghua slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on him. At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

However, there is an unspeakable bitterness hidden in this smile, just like a flower withering in winter, which is still beautiful but has lost its vitality.

"You were hiding in the dark and watching me secretly. Are you afraid that I would commit suicide because I couldn't get over it? Stop staring at me like that. Go away and let me talk to him quietly alone. OK?" She looked straight at the other person with a pleading look in her eyes.

After the secret guards received the order and withdrew, the room suddenly fell into silence.

Xu Jinghua slowly moved to the couch, sat down gently, and her eyes fell on the unconscious Yun Ren, her eyes complicated and tangled.

She stared at his paper-pale face quietly, feeling mixed emotions.

"What on earth should I do with you?" Xu Jinghua murmured to herself, her voice so soft that it seemed as if only she could hear it.

"To be honest, I really don't know whether I should pray to God to wake you up, or I would rather hope that you will never open your eyes..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Xu Jinghua raised her head slightly, trying not to let them fall. "I have never been a filial daughter. Facing the tragic death of my parents, I was powerless; similarly, as a mother, I also failed to fulfill my due responsibilities."

Her tone was full of self-blame and regret.

"Whenever it's late at night and I close my eyes, that horrific scene will involuntarily appear in my mind - blood is all over the ground, and my people are lying in a pool of blood, still using their last bit of strength to urge me to run."

"My beloved parents, and my beloved brothers and sisters, they were so young and so well-behaved, but they were all brutally murdered by your heartless and beastly father!" When she said this, Xu Jinghua could no longer suppress the surging grief in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

You know my pain, but why won't you let me end my life?

Sometimes, I wonder, if I had resolutely chosen to end my life after killing your father with my own hands, perhaps everything would be different now.

"I shouldn't be soft on you..."

Xu Jinghua choked up as she spoke, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly with sobs.

Xu Jinghua slowly stretched out her right hand, which was trembling in the air as if carrying a heavy weight, and it moved closer and closer to Yun Ren's face, which was as pale as paper.

Her fingers were almost about to touch his skin, but at the moment they were about to touch, her hand seemed to be suddenly bounced away by an invisible force. After a slight tremor, she quickly withdrew it as if she had been electrocuted.

Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the emotions surging in her heart.

"Why, your father wiped out my entire clan, and now I can't even kill you?

I can't do it to you, and I don't want to see you killed by others...

Father, mother, is your daughter useless..."

Xu Jinghua just sat quietly beside the couch, her eyes never leaving the unconscious Yun Ren.

Time passed minute by minute, and the surroundings became so quiet that the only sounds she could hear were her own breathing and heartbeat.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of light footsteps broke the silence. It turned out that Yunren’s secret guards had returned.

"Madam." The secret guard called softly.

Xu Jinghua opened her eyes upon hearing the voice, raised her hand to rub her brows which were a little tight from frowning for a long time, and asked in a slightly tired voice: "Have you found out who poisoned you?"

"Madam, it was someone from the Medical Immortal Valley. But the specific reason for the poisoning has not yet been determined." The secret guard bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"People from the Medical Immortal Valley..." Xu Jinghua muttered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming fierce, "They have been famous in the outside world for many years. They must have lived too comfortably, so they actually reached out to the palace of the Yunchen Empire! When she said the last few words, there was obviously a hint of anger in her tone.

"Humph! If anyone stretches his hand too far and attempts to hurt him in the slightest, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless. I will chop that claw off directly!"

Although she really couldn't like the child because of that beast, she would never tolerate anyone doing anything unfavorable to him.

"What's going on with the imperial physician? How come there's still no clue?" Xu Jinghua frowned, and the secret guard quickly lowered his head and replied, "Madam, this poison is extremely rare. Even the experienced old guys in the Imperial Hospital are helpless and have not yet come up with an effective antidote."

Hearing this, Xu Jinghua couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart. She squeezed her hands hard, looked at Yun Ren who was standing beside her with a sharp gaze, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Returning to her residence, Xu Jinghua walked straight to a corner of the room, gently turned the mechanism, and a secret door slowly opened.

Upon entering, one saw a dark secret room with an altar table filled with densely packed tablets of varying heights.

These tablets appear particularly solemn and dignified under the dim candlelight.

The tablets are spotless, and it's obvious that someone wipes them regularly and carefully.

Xu Jinghua walked slowly to the altar and slowly knelt down on an old cushion.

She raised her head slightly, staring at the rows of familiar yet unfamiliar names in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming moist.

After a moment of silence, she kowtowed three times in front of the tablet, muttering to herself, "Father and Mother, I am an unfilial daughter. Please forgive me for not being able to kill my own flesh and blood...even if...he has that person's blood flowing in his body..."

Xu Jinghua was wearing a simple long dress and kneeling straight on the mat.

Her eyes were slightly closed, her face was as calm as water, and she was motionless like a fine sculpture.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of slight breathing could be heard.

No one knew how long Xu Jinghua had been kneeling like this, perhaps an hour, or perhaps longer.

She was so quietly immersed in her own world, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

Finally, Xu Jinghua slowly opened her eyes, and a barely perceptible trace of fatigue flashed across her cold eyes.

She stood up gently, her movements graceful and light, like a dancing butterfly.

At this moment, the secret guard Yingyue, who had been waiting not far from Xu Jinghua, stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported to her: "Madam, Luo Cheng brought three people back, saying that they wanted to come and visit the master."

Xu Jinghua nodded slightly and said with her red lips: "Bring them in to see me."
