Mrs. Jinghong woke up not long after she fell into a coma, her body twitched, she rolled on the bed, tearing the brocade quilt, gauze curtain, and clothes into pieces.

After Xiaohou tried all kinds of methods to no avail, she simply tied her hands and feet to prevent her from harming herself, and then pushed open the carved round window.

The moonlight and the cool wind fell into the house together.

The hazy light illuminated the furnishings in the house, and the cool breeze dispelled some depression.

Xiaohou beckoned to Zhong Ying, then stepped out of the room, followed by Zhong Ying.

The shrill, broken screams lingered in the ears, thrilling, telling the pain of the master, after Zhong Ying closed the door smoothly, the sound continued to hit the eardrums.

There were many people kneeling in the corridor, all of them were maids serving Mrs. Jinghong, and the one at the head was Aunt Hong, the lady from Jingchai.

Xiaohou looked at them quietly, her glazed pupils became a little more indifferent.After a while, she pointed to the Jingchai woman and said, "Except for her, all back down."

The maid and attendant breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated like flowing water.

The Chongming Palace naturally had strict rules. They made a mistake this time, so they would naturally be punished. Empress Xiao didn't increase the punishment because of anger. To them, it was a kind of tolerance and kindness.

After Jingchai was the only one left, Empress Xiao's expression gradually became sharper, and she said condescendingly, "Do you know your mistake?"

The woman Jingchai rested her forehead on the ground and remained silent.

Empress Xiao squinted her eyes: "Send away the other people in the palace, and leave Mrs. Jinghong alone, don't you admit your mistake?"

Mrs. Jingchai kowtowed three times, and when she raised her head, she looked at Xiaohou with a mixed expression, "It's me."

"I didn't expect you to come to the Prince's Palace today, and you happened to meet..." Mrs. Jingchai murmured in a low voice, "Could it be God's will?"

"You are the person Madam Jinghong brought into the palace. You should be one of her most trusted people. Why do you want to kill her?" Xiaohou asked coldly, "I wish you could be freed if she died?"

Madam Jingchai was stimulated by these words, and suddenly raised her voice: "How could I harm her if I treat my wife as my own child?"

"..."

"But, ma'am, is she alive now?" The corners of the eyes of Mrs. Jingchai were wrinkled, mist filled her eyes, her expression was sad and angry at the same time, "Crazy and insane, she is in such pain that she has lived more than ten years like this." Years! More than ten years!"

"Ma'am, she has no cultivation. She is just a mortal. A mortal can only live for a hundred years. How many more than ten years are left to live? If Madam wakes up one day, she is old and the pain is still there, and it will only be more painful. ..."

"...Rather than continuing to suffer, it is better, it is better to be free forever!"

Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows and scolded: "You are not qualified to make decisions for her!"

"Ma'am, she is in so much pain! Why don't you let her go? Why?!"

"Chongming didn't owe her anything, it was her own decision at the beginning. Even if she died, she should make her own decision." Xiaohou flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Mrs. Jingchai, "Pull it down for me, you belong to her, I won't kill you, you have to figure it out yourself."

"Empress Xiao, please, let Madam be relieved..." Madam Jingchai kowtowed continuously, trying to redeem Empress Xiao's decision, but when she was dragged down, she continued to beg.

The begging sound gradually faded away, the wailing sound gradually died down, Xiaohou lowered her eyes, rubbed the center of her brows, and showed a little helplessness in her expression.

Not long after, Empress Xiao cheered up again, turned her head to the clock and said: "The matter has been settled, the maids will take good care of Mrs. Jinghong, Ying'er, let's get out of here."

"Okay." Zhong Ying nodded.

Empress Xiao walked in front, and Zhong Ying walked behind, without the noisy Jun Jiusi around her, it was suddenly much quieter.

Empress Xiao bent her lips and said to Zhong Ying, "Don't tell Yi'er what happened tonight." As for Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba didn't see what happened next. Empress Xiao knew her son well and could easily Get Xiaoba.

"Why not let him know?" Zhong Ying paused slightly, stood still, the broken hair on his forehead was blown by the night wind, "Isn't Madam Jinghong Jun Buyi's biological mother?"

Xiao Hou looked back, slightly startled: "So you know..."

Zhong Ying replied: "Not only do I know that she is Jun Buyi's biological mother, I also know that Jun Buyi has the same tattoo on her body."

The astonishment in Xiaohou's pupils spread like ripples, she knew very well how unwilling Yi'er was to mention the two things of "Mrs. Jinghong" and "Trinyin", but she didn't want the young man in front of her to know all of them.

This made her realize one thing more deeply, that Yi'er really cared about this young man.

He cared to the point where he was willing to expose his wounds to the eyes of others.

"Auntie, I want to ask you some questions." Zhong Ying said so.

Empress Xiao sighed in her heart, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can tell you what I know and what I can say. But those things may not be good for Yi'er. You can keep your mouth shut and never tell others. And will you never use this to hurt Yi'er?"

These things...will hurt you?

Zhong Ying's heart was churning with emotion, like a rising and falling tide, ups and downs.

In his previous life, in order to seize the weakness of his deadly opponent, he tried every means, by all means, but he couldn't find anything.But he didn't expect that very early in this life, he had grasped Lian Zhongjun's Achilles' heel.

This recognition made Zhong Ying's chest satisfied, sore, and a little angry.

Should I ask?Zhong Ying couldn't help thinking.

Then, the voice in his heart told him that he wanted to know, he wanted to know Jun's unexpected past, and he wanted to uncover Lian Zhongjun's cold mask and see clearly what kind of scenery it was.

"Okay, I will never say, I will never take advantage of this to hurt him." Zhong Ying raised his eyebrows, his pride was revealed from the bottom of his bones, and his strength was strong, "I swear by the way of heaven...".

Empress Xiao interrupted Zhong Ying: "I swear with my heart."

"what?"

In front of Zhong Ying, Empress Xiao, who has always been a loving mother, finally showed some fangs in order to protect her cub: "If you hurt Yi'er with this, from now on you will have nothing to do with each other!"

Zhong Ying: "..."

He felt a little strange in his heart, and felt that Xiaohou's words were too strange.What kind of friendship is broken, and since then they have been strangers, as if he and Jun Buyi are Taoist couples.

But after thinking about it carefully, I think it seems right, and there is no rule that these words can only describe Taoist companions.

Afterwards, Zhong Ying felt that what Empress Xiao said was poisonous!

He is a majestic devil, how could he go back on his word?

Zhong Ying frowned, and after holding back for a long time, he replied with one word: "Okay."

"Then you can ask." Empress Xiao stretched her brows and eyes, and raised the corners of her lips, showing a smile like a spring breeze.Zhong Ying's hesitation was enough for Xiao Hou to see that Zhong Ying cared about Yi'er.

Zhong Ying bit his lower lip, "When I first met him, he had a high fever and fell into a coma from time to time, is it also because of those tattoos?"

Xiao Hou nodded.

Sure enough, Zhong Ying thought in his heart, and then asked: "Then, is it just a coma due to a high fever, or is it just as painful as Mrs. Jinghong?"

Xiaohou smiled bitterly: "Yi'er...he will only suffer more than Mrs. Jinghong, but he is too tolerant, so he doesn't say anything."

High fever, weakness, coma... These are just the instinctive reactions of the body breaking down after suffering to the extreme.

"You probably don't know. Four years ago, when Yi'er left Chongming Kingdom and went to Yuxin Academy, she used secret methods to transfer most of the pain from Mrs. Jinghong to herself. Therefore, Mrs. Jinghong's seizures would take ten days and a half months Once, sometimes every few months."

"..."

Xiaohou's voice came to his ears, and Zhong Ying's heart was turned upside down, and he lost his voice for a moment.

Because, Zhong Ying clearly understood how weak the Chidan prince was at that time.

The little prince, who stepped up the steps on the dragon of the sea of ​​clouds, was unable to avoid Zhong Ying, so he could only act as a meat pad, rolling with Zhong Ying for more than a dozen steps, and finally bumped into a tree.

Zhong Ying raised his head in time, and saw him turn his head to the side, covering his lips with his sleeve.

Her skin was as pale as porcelain, and the bright red blood bloomed gorgeous red plum blossoms on her sleeves, which was shocking.

Zhong Ying's heart ached, and the brows trembled in pain.

After a long while, he said dryly: "What the hell is going on with these secret lines? Didn't Emperor Chongming have any way to eradicate them? Or..." A cold and stern prey appeared in his pupils, and his voice gradually became colder. Zhong Ying asked, "Or, You did all this?"

Empress Xiao was a little surprised by the murderous look on Zhong Ying's body, but after thinking about Zhong Ying's background, she didn't find it strange, so she said carefully, "How did Yi'er tell you about Mrs. Jinghong?"

"He only said that Mrs. Jinghong is his biological mother, a dancer, and he has gone crazy since he realized it." Zhong Ying couldn't help guessing, "Mrs. Jinghong was abandoned by Emperor Chongming, so she went crazy?"

"No." Empress Xiao shook her head.

"That is?"

"During that time, I had a quarrel with Yi'er and his father, and left Chongming Kingdom in a fit of anger. I only saw one side of Madam Jinghong. However, that side was enough to impress me." Empress Xiao seemed to be in a dilemma. Reminiscing, he said slowly, "She is a proud, pampered, domineering person who should be held in the palm of her hand by nature."

In fact, Mrs. Jinghong was like this for the first half of her life.No matter where she is, she can easily confuse people's hearts, making people go through life and death for her, and she can get everything just by smiling.

A monk once disgraced her, she turned around and killed that monk.

In fact, she has nothing, just showing a little anger, and someone did it for her.

"As far as I am concerned, you may think that I am biased against her. Of course, I am biased. However, how can a person like her go crazy because of the injury of love?"

Zhong Ying was even more puzzled.

Not for love, what is that for?

Xiao Hou hesitated a little, and stopped talking.

Under Zhong Ying's peach blossom eyes, she clenched her five fingers under the sleeves, and after a while she said: "Mrs. It was obtained by Jun Lang by chance, and he spent thousands of years perfecting it..."

Probably because there are too many secrets involved, when Empress Xiao said this, she faltered, and occasionally remained silent for a long time before she continued: "Your Majesty has obsessions in his heart, Chongming Kingdom also needs an heir, the ancient secret Art can improve a person's aptitude from the womb, so..."

"You have also seen how high Yi'er's aptitude is." Xiaohou smiled miserably, "However, how terrible the backlash of this kind of secret technique is is beyond everyone's expectations."

If there was no previous life, Zhong Ying might not feel anything.

But with the memory of the previous life, Zhong Ying knew the meaning of it more clearly.

Lord Lianzhong can join the Dao within a hundred years and become No. 1 in the Dao of Immortals. His aptitude and disposition are unprecedented, no matter how unwilling Zhong Ying is, he is willing to bow down in his heart.

So, what price did he pay behind it?

In other words, what price did Chongming pay?

"Shortly after Mrs. Jinghong became pregnant, these dense lines appeared on her body. I don't know exactly how, I only know that the dense lines were very few and very shallow at first, and it just made Mrs. Jinghong feel uncomfortable. later……"

"Later, the dense pattern spread to the whole body, even the face, and the pain it caused continued to intensify. During that time, the Kaiming Palace echoed Madam Jinghong's wailing all night long."

"...continued until Yi'er was born."

After a pause, embarrassment appeared on Xiaohou's face: "The day Yi'er was born, Mrs. Jinghong went completely crazy."

It's not because of love or hatred, but because of being tormented madly by pain.

Zhong Ying asked in a shy voice: "Don't you think he knows about this?"

Xiao Hou said nothing, but nodded slightly.

Zhong Ying's body trembled slightly, and what Jun Buyi said to him a few days ago flashed through his mind.

At that time, he pressed Jun Buyi on the stool in the gazebo and complained all the time.He asked Jun, do you know the reason why Mrs. Jinghong went crazy?

Jun Buyi answered him in a very, very soft voice: "I know, because of me."

The moonlight sprinkled down and condensed on his eyelashes, as beautiful as a sea of ​​stars.

At that time, Zhong Ying thought that Mrs. Jinghong fell out of favor because of Jun's unexpected birth.

Recalling at this time, Zhong Ying couldn't help thinking, what kind of mood did Jun Buyi use to say those seven words so lightly?
