'Forget it. 'She didn't belong here in the first place. It was just that she was still worried about him. She really wanted to see him again.

Just at that moment, a faint scent of rosewood wafted towards her, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Not long after, she was forcefully imprisoned by the scent of rosewood. She felt a wave of relief in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but roll down.

"Xi Er, I'm sorry, I came late."

Jun Mohan looked at Bai Zhixi whose eyes were shut, his face seemed to be even paler than profound paper, and the blood tears that dripped down made him even more unwilling to accept it.

It was all his carelessness that made him think that they were going to deal with him. Thus, he decided to follow them. When he finally regained his senses, he saw Bai Zhixi floating down the cliff like a broken kite.

At that moment, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife. The pain was so painful that he couldn't even breathe. He held on to the last bit of reason to accompany her.

"It's good to hear your voice again. But, I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you for a lifetime and a pair of people. I'm really very tired. This place makes me feel so scared. I don't want to struggle anymore. It's too tiring. "

At this moment, there were no tears. The cold wind blew all over the surrounding rocks.

Bai Zhixi caressed Jun Mohan's face and kissed its thin lips, yet they were still as sweet as they were before, causing her to feel nostalgic.

It was just that this place contained too much blood and tears, as well as too much love and separation.

It turned out that love was so unforgettable, and separation was so painful. In the next life, she no longer wanted to love anymore.

The pain in her eyes tugged at her shoulders, causing her to feel unbearable pain, as if countless ants were tearing at her heart.

The poison on the sword made her react. That sword strike was actually hers, the Life Severing Sword. She actually didn't notice it in the slightest.

Suddenly, she vomited a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

Xi'er …" "Ah …

Jun Mohan watched as Bai Zhixi passed out. His heart was ice-cold and stinging as his hysterical shout pierced through this black hole.

He remembered that she had once said: mountains have no mausoleum, the heavens and the earth are one. She even dared to speak with Jun Jue. She hadn't even given these to her, so how could she abandon him?

Jun Mohan frantically shook Bai Zhixi's body, attempting to wake her up, but to no avail. Bai Zhixi was still quietly lying in her embrace, not giving him any response.

The cold wind was still blowing by their ears, but suddenly a gigantic boulder flew towards them, Jun Mohan blocked it with his body.

He himself had also suffered a violent impact and fainted but he still did not let go of Bai Zhixi's body. Instead, he tightly imprisoned her in his embrace.

The Lantern Festival quietly arrived just like this. The entire country was celebrating as they were immersed in joy.

In the palace, within the empress dowager's Tzu Ning Palace, Situ Lan, as the empress, sat by the side and wiped away her tears.

On the other side, the emperor's pitch-black eyes were filled with boundless, cold killing intent. This frightened all of the palace maids and eunuchs in the room to the point that they didn't dare to breathe too loudly. They carefully waited upon him.

"This is too arrogant. He dares to brazenly kill people in the temple. Does he really think that I, a grand army of the Eastern County, am just a decoration?"

Dong Aoqing slapped on the table furiously. He was so angry that he actually caused his most important son to disappear without a trace.

"Your majesty, what should we do now?" "Chen'er's whereabouts are unknown, and I'm feeling uneasy. I really don't know what to do."

At this time, Situ Lan's messy hair and pale white face all showed her exhaustion of the past few days.

Maybe Dongfang Chen's matter had shocked her too much, and she couldn't accept it for a while!

"Empress, don't worry and stay here with mother. I will definitely find Chen`er."

Dong Aoqing patted her hands, looking at his beloved wife's vicissitudes of life, the hatred in his heart for her grew even stronger.

Dongfang Chen was a rare and talented emperor, he would definitely not allow his successor, who he had painstakingly nurtured, to disappear just like that.

If he was dead, he would be able to pull him back from the gates of hell.

The Lantern Festival should have been a happy day, but the capital was immersed in a dark and gloomy light, and there was no sign of celebration at all.

Not long after his arrival, the Emperor gathered all of the ministers and announced in the Hall of Announcements the selection of the Crown Prince and the princes' wives.

As for why it was done today, it was also a good day for the Venerate Heavens Sect. It was an auspicious day, but to those who knew about it, it was likely not an auspicious day either.

"In accordance with the wishes of the heavens, the emperor decrees: The Grand Commandant's daughter, Shangguan Jingyan, is a wise and prudent woman, diligent and obedient, graceful and pure, gentle in nature, well-mannered in nature, well-mannered in nature, virtuous and virtuous. With that, he was immediately conferred the title of princess! The daughter of the Prime Minister, Bai Zhiru, Rou Jia Shu Shun, Ya Yue, Zhuang Shu Rui, Ke Ling Ke, An Zhen Ye Ji, Yong and Pure. He then immediately conferred the title of the Crown Prince's Consort. Imperial Uncle's daughter, Situ Lingxue, was intelligent and nimble, dignified and elegant. He then immediately conferred the title of the Crown Prince's Consort. The Prime Minister's daughter, Bai Zhiyuan, is quiet and gentle, is beautiful and agile, is graceful and quiet, and is immediately conferred the title of second wife to the fourth prince.

In the morning court today, the ministers had waited all the way until now. They also had some complaints in their hearts.

Now that they heard Eunuch Lin's decree, they were shocked and immediately started discussing. Most of them were guessing whether Shangguan Jingyan was actually Phoenixis Maiden, and whether he was destined to become Empress.

As for Shangguan Jingyan's father, Shangguan Yelei, he was surrounded by a group of people, unceasingly congratulating Shangguan Jingyan.

Everyone knew that Dongfang Chen was about to inherit the throne. Her daughter would definitely be the empress then, so she had to try her best to show off in front of the Honorable Secretary of the Nation.

However, there was no trace of happiness on Shangguan Huayei's face. Her daughter's whereabouts were unknown, and it was unknown if she would be able to return alive. How could such a humble thing compare to her daughter's life?

After a long period of time, Eunuch Lin announced the news to Zhang Xuan, and with a bright smile on his face, he left the royal palace.

Some people were happy about the emperor's decree, while others were sad. After the Prime Minister Bai heard the order, he weakly dragged his heavy legs and walked in the cold palace.

That royal decree just now, the princess Flower had fallen into another's home and shattered his dream for more than ten years, he was unwilling to accept it.

He had painstakingly nurtured his daughter for more than ten years, but she could only become a side concubine. Was he destined to always be inferior to her?

No, this was definitely not the end. There was only a single word between the crown prince's consort and the principal consort.

His daughter could make the empress acknowledge him as her own daughter, but was he afraid that the position of the princess would not be taken away from others?

When he arrived at the entrance, he saw Shangguan Huayei surrounded by a group of officials congratulating him. A trace of killing intent flashed across his pitch-black eyes as he slowly climbed out of the carriage.

At this moment, the Grand Commandant's Estate was deathly silent. Occasionally, the voice of a middle-aged woman could be heard from within.

Shangguan Fei Lei stepped into the room and saw his wife in her daughter's room, hugging her daughter's clothes and crying.

"Master, do you think Jing Yan can return safely? "If she doesn't return, then I won't be able to live …"

Mistress Shangguan pulled on his sleeve and wailed loudly.

At this moment, he was also extremely sad. His gaze was dull as he looked at everything in the room. He could only allow Madam Shangguan to beat him up without any complaints.

The imperial edict …

Suddenly, Eunuch Lin's voice came from outside. He must have read out the imperial edict.

Before long, Shangguan Huanlei led hundreds of people to kneel in the courtyard, waiting for Eunuch Lin's orders.

The same was true for the Prime Minister's Estate and the Scholar's Manor. It's just that the person who was bestowed the title was different.

When Mistress Shangguan heard this, she sat limply on the ground. She knew that this imperial edict was a gift from the emperor on the surface, but it was actually a talisman to hasten their deaths.

Now that Shangguan Jingyan's whereabouts were unknown, the Emperor knew. However, the people outside did not know the seriousness of the situation.

If they could not find Shangguan Jingyan, then they were guilty of deceiving the monarch, and the nine families would be executed.

"Old master, what should we do now?"

After sending off Eunuch Lin, Madam Shangguan sat in the hall with a solemn expression as she spoke with concern.

She was born into a scholarly family and had the charm of a lady. She had seen a lot of scenes and knew of their dangers.

"Now that His Majesty has given us such a question, it looks like he just wants to take a look at the power I have." But for Jing Yan's sake, we must follow his path. We really underestimated the Emperor in the past. "

Shangguan Huanlei leaned back in his seat of honor, his face downcast, his bloodshot eyes like a volcano about to erupt, looking especially frightening.

"Sigh, Jing Yan is also disobedient. She would only be disobedient if you told her not to participate in the selection for the princess. Now that it is really the princess, I am actually very worried. With her personality, it will be difficult for her to continue living in the harem. "

Madame Shangguan, Liu Yingxuan, was originally the daughter of Princess Anyang and the Minister of Rites. She could be regarded as the emperor's cousin, a relative of the royal family.

People who had lived in deep wall courtyards since they were young knew the dangers within. They had to be careful with every step they took. If one wasn't careful, it wasn't impossible for it to turn into dust. Always wanting to fly out and see the outside world.

Her daughter was now a princess, if Dongfang Chen ascended the throne, he would become the queen of a nation.

The reason the Emperor did this, was probably because he was afraid that one of the powers in the princess would fall into the hands of the Queen. And they could only accept the role of the sacrificial pawn.

"Madam, you don't have to worry. I can see that Jing Yan likes the Crown Prince, or else she wouldn't have disregarded our persuasion and went to participate. And even if she doesn't go, do you think you can get away with it? "She was born that day, so the Emperor will definitely not let her off."

The legend of that day swept through the entire capital like a curse, quietly changing the fate of the women from capital. They did not have the right to choose happiness.

"Is Xia Yan really a Phoenixis Maiden?"

Mrs. Shangguan said worriedly.

It had to be known that the person who obtained the Phoenixis Maiden was Under Heaven. If she was, then the battle for the throne and for the rest of the world would drag her into it. Whether or not she could hold the position of the princess was not something she could control.

"Madam, whether she is or not, it is now a foregone conclusion. Currently, the news that was set in the princess had already spread throughout the world, so he believed that the situation in the world would soon change. One had to know, if a Phoenixis Maiden appeared from the Dongjun Kingdom, the other nations would definitely not let this matter rest. The peace on the surface of the world cannot be maintained for long. "

With that, Shangguan Huanlei stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the withering leaves with a worried frown.
