"Dad, I think we should go back first. We'll come back another day." Originally, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but ever since she came here and met demons, she believed that since there were demons in this world, then naturally there would be ghosts and gods.

The words he used to scare the palace maids had scared him. Thinking about the pregnant woman who had become his substitute, and the baby that had died on her behalf, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"That's the only way." Lord Situ nodded and said to Little Shun Zi, "I'll have to trouble you to report that it's late and that the emperor is busy with government affairs. This old man will be going back first. I'll enter the palace another day."

Long Xiang Palace …

"Your majesty, a message from Phoenix Cry Palace has arrived. Old Master Situ is losing his patience. Please leave the palace." After Lian Hai received the news, he immediately reported it to the emperor.

"What time is it now?" Helian Yi Chen did not put down the book in his hand, but instead asked slowly.

"When we return to the Emperor, it will be Evening in fifteen minutes." Lian Hai replied.

"Then pass it on, you can slow down on the way. I am very patient." Helian Yi said.

Luo Xue, who was waiting at Phoenix Cry Palace, became even more restless. He only saw Lian Hai slowly arrive when he arrived at Eunuch. She hurriedly stepped forward and before she could open her mouth, he heard him say, "The Emperor has decreed that Master Situ is to be present at an audience."

"Father, let's go." Luo Xue's patience had been worn out. It had been a whole day, if it was any more modern, she would have left long ago.

"Miss Situ, please wait a moment. The Emperor is only announcing his arrival to Master Situ. Please wait for a moment." Lian Hai, however, stopped Luo Xue.

"Ah, how can that be? You're bullying me too much. I came here with my father, why don't we meet at the same time?" It didn't matter if Helian Chen saw her or not. She wanted to leave this gloomy Phoenix Cry Palace.

"Miss, this is the emperor's decree. The servants are only following the imperial decree, please forgive me." Although the Emperor didn't say it clearly, from the Emperor's words, even Hai Hai guessed that the person before him was the empress and didn't dare to slight him.

"My daughter, please wait here for a moment. I'll go see the emperor." Lord Situ comforted Luo Xue.

"I understand. Father, please don't tell the Emperor too much about my daughter." Before Lord Situ left, Luo Xue instructed him.

She did not want Han'er to be told to Helian Xi Chen by someone else. If she really wanted to say it, she wanted to say it herself. She wanted to ask him why he was so heartless in the first place.

As the sky darkened, Luo Xue sat in Phoenix Cry Palace, not realizing that the palace had already been evacuated. When she heard the sound of the palace door closing, she became alarmed. When she ran to the front garden, she discovered that the palace door was tightly shut.

She suddenly froze and muttered, "They all left, they all left …"

"Phew …" "Phew …" The leaves rustled in the wind. Luo Xue stood in the courtyard and felt the cold chill in her surroundings. Her entire body felt cool from her head to her toes.

"Don't try to scare me. Miss, I'm not afraid of ghosts, and I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world either." She was sure that this was a trick of Helian Chen's. She would not fall for it, she would not fall for his trick.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, consoling herself in her heart: What I'm not afraid of, what I'm not afraid of, this was the place I lived in before, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The more she said she was not afraid, the more she thought, and she wondered what the woman who had died in her place had looked like last year. The more she thought about it, the more she could not calm down. The wind blew against the window, but she did not even have the courage to get up and close it.

"Helian Yi Chen, you bastard! I will never forgive you! I will never forgive you!" When the sound became even louder, Luo Xue's tears began to fall. Closing her eyes, she shouted.

But he did not plan to enter now. He needed to force all the people from the palace back, so he stood quietly outside Phoenix Cry Palace; he wanted to see just how brave this girl was. After staying in the Illusory Realm for a year, she believed in a lot of things that she did not believe in before, and now she should believe in them.

He was the emperor, and he had his pride as well. But this woman had trampled over his dignity as an emperor time and time again, trampling over his care for her.

"Helian Xi Chen, you unconscious ruler, tyrant, don't scare me like this, I won't be afraid, I won't forgive you, not just me, Han'er will not forgive you, if not for Han'er, I would never come to this damn place again …" In order to suppress the fear in her heart, Luo Xue tried her best to think of her son, the viciousness of Helian Chen, and the pity of her son.

She had never seen her father ever since the child was born. She would never forgive him if he was imprisoned by Jiuyu for the sake of Helian Chen.

This was the first time Helian Xi had heard her son's name outside. At the same time, she felt puzzled. Why did the little girl say it was for the sake of the child?

Yan Qing hadn't come back to report yet, so he didn't know what had happened in the Illusory Realm. Could it be that Jiu Yu wanted to use her son to deal with him? Could it be that only the girl came back? Thinking of this, Helian Lie's heart became as cold as ice. If Jiu Yu dared to do anything to his son, he would definitely shatter his body into countless pieces.

After Luo Xue's angry roar, she started crying. She missed her son and was worried about him, but that damnable Helian Xi Chen still hadn't appeared. He must have done it on purpose because he already knew that she wasn't dead yet.

"Who?" When Helian Xi pushed open the door, it made a creaking sound … The sound scared even Luo Xue's soul.

"What, are you afraid of me?" Helian Yi entered the hall and saw that Luo Xue was trembling while hugging her blanket. He could not help but find it funny, but his expression was exceptionally cold.

"Who …" "Who said it was? I'm just too cold." When she saw Helian Xi, Luo Xue realized that she did not hate him so much. On the contrary, many of the later ones thought of him. Looking at his unchanging face, she felt sad that Tyrant had never thought of her, nor did she feel any regret.

"Miss Situ, don't you know that your sister died on that bed last year? Don't you know how much she hated me when she died? "You …"

"What did you call me?" Upon hearing Miss Situ's words, Luo Xue's frozen heart felt as if it had been split in half by someone.

"Miss Situ, aren't you the empress's younger sister?" Seeing the sad expression on the little girl's face, he actually felt very happy in her heart.

"Miss Situ, you're calling me Miss Situ?" Luo Xue muttered. Although her voice was low, Helian Xi Chen could hear her clearly.

"Your father has already said that you are the empress's twin sister. Because you miss the empress, you came to stay at the palace." Helian Yi walked to the bed.

"Twin sister, is that what my father said?" Luo Xue looked at Helian Yi Chen in disbelief. She did not believe that Sir Situ would say such a thing. After all, Sir Situ had come here to seek justice for her.

"That's right. Besides, I've already sent someone to send him back." When he thought of old man Situ, he felt extremely displeased.

At that time, Lian Hai didn't change from his usual arrogance when he arrived at Dragon Xiang Hall with Lord Situ. Instead, he was glaring at him.

Lord Situ's first words upon seeing Helian Xi Chen were not long live the Emperor.

"This commoner pays his respects to the emperor. May I ask, why is the emperor treating the empress like that?" Lord Situ stared angrily at the Emperor.

Helian Yi immediately asked Lian Hai to withdraw. He really didn't know that old man Situ cared so much about his precious daughter. Back then when he was promoting the Queen, he didn't even shed a tear and now after a year, he actually came to question him.

"Situ Qing, why do you say that?" At that time, Helian Yi was calmly sitting in front of the dragon table, confirming that the person in Phoenix Cry Palace was his little girl.

"Your majesty, you know that the empress is pregnant and is about to give birth, but why are you forcing her to take a birth control drug?" Lord Situ did not retreat. Instead, he questioned the Emperor again and again.

"What did Situ Qing think? If it was Situ Qing, would he have raised a child for another man? " Helian Yi Chen probed.

"The emperor is slandering me. This commoner has asked the daughter, the child is the emperor's, a crime the emperor wants to add to his crimes. Wouldn't the emperor be worried that the child will be born out of the ordinary?" Before entering the palace, Sir Situ had already thought about it. At most, he would die, but he had to say what he wanted to say.

Helian Yi's face was gloomy. He could not believe that the little girl had actually told an outsider of his background. Did she really hate him that much? Did she think that just because the people of the world knew of his demi-demon identity, he, the Emperor, could not become one?

"I don't know what Situ Qing is saying?" The empress has already left for a long time, don't you think it's a little late to say all this now? " Helian Yi's face was dark and filled with killing intent. If the girl really announced his identity as a half demon to the world, then this person in front of her must not be allowed to live.

"Your majesty, the empress is still alive. It's just that this past year, she went through all the hardships and suffered, and now that she's finally back, this commoner just wants to seek justice for his daughter. Why would your majesty treat her like that?" Not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, not thinking about the relationship between father and son? "Could it be that the Emperor's heart isn't born of flesh and blood?" Lord Situ questioned with a stern voice. He was holding a medallion bestowed upon him by the late emperor. Today, he was willing to throw caution to the wind and give it his all.

"Situ Qing, are you resenting that we didn't treat the empress well? Or are you blaming me for mistreating your Situ clan? " Helian Yi said coldly.

Before the late emperor passed away, he had instructed this humble subject to take good care of the emperor. This humble subject does not dare to have any complaints, this humble subject has entered the palace this time only as a father. When he saw the emperor again, he already knew that the emperor was already the emperor, the emperor who was so high and mighty. Moreover, his power was limitless, so even if the emperor was truly heaven defying, he had no power to stop him from doing so with just a testamentary edict from the late emperor. On the contrary, it would only cause the mountains to waver even more.
