However, no matter who it was that saw him, they would feel that this mysterious person was actually a young man.

However, no one should underestimate this youth, because anyone who saw him would immediately understand that this youth in front of them was the extremely noble Great Deity Official.

Ye Qiongjiang did not speak, she only held the hairpin in her hands tighter. Great Deity Official's words made it hard for her to figure out his intentions.

"Don't be nervous, Lady Qiong is a noble person of Da Xia Empire. No matter how big of a crime you have committed, no one will dare to punish you."

"What does Great Deity Official want to say?" This gaze that could see through everything, this smile that could see through all of it, gave people goosebumps. It was as if all the secrets in his heart were impossible to hide from him. This feeling was rather unsettling.

"I just want to thank Lady Qiong for playing this game of 'hide and seek' very happily today." The youth gently turned around and followed the mountain path towards the Vermillion Jade Peak. He said lightly: "Esteemed guest, you should return to the palace. Who knows, maybe His Majesty will summon you back later."

Just like a heavy hammer beating the drum, it caused one's blood to boil. The Emperor wanted to summon him? Could it be … The Emperor already knew that Gu Rongzhi was going to let the little prince bring him out of the palace?

That's right, if he didn't know, how could Eunuch Qing An have invited the little prince back from the Yongan Sect? If he did not know, why would the Great Deity Official coincidentally appear in Yongan City and ask for the Little Prince's carriage?

Great Deity Official's back figure was light and elegant, like the patch of green on a distant mountain, yet unreachable despite the passing events.

Mysterious and powerful.

Comprehension, perfect control.

Maybe it was because of the existence of the divine right and its support that the Da Xia Empire was able to produce such a powerful country.

Warm Xuan.

The slightly tipsy breeze gently floated the muslin hanging from the four corners of the lake. It was like a red lotus spreading its petals in the middle of a lake of jade-green leaves.

The emperor and queen sat high up in the hall with smiles on their faces. From time to time, they would converse with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Not long after, Eunuch Qing An walked in, and whispered a few words into Mo Hua's ear, and then stood respectfully by the side.

After Mo Hua heard this, he faintly smiled and said to Gu Rongzhi: "Rest assured, the surprise I am going to give you is here."

Gu Rongzhi's eyes flashed, and remained calm and collected, "Oh?"

Mo Hua laughed and said loudly, "Come in Xiao'er, don't make your mother wait too long."

As the door resounded, the little prince, Guyu, entered.

"Your son greets the Emperor." Guyu bowed down in a rather formal manner.

Gu Rongzhi's pupils shrank, but on her face, a look of pleasant surprise appeared, just right on top of it. Why are you back? "

"Of course it was This Emperor who called him back. I know that you miss him. Tonight, I will let Tian'er stay with you for a while, and leave the palace tomorrow. " Mo Hua's tone of voice was rather magnanimous, as he simply looked at the kneeling Guyu below him, and said with a sigh: "Little Mu, we have always liked you. After more than five years have passed, could it be that you're still not willing to call us royal fathers?"

Even if one was a jackal, a tiger, a wolf, or a leopard, after eating and drinking for five years, one would still feel close to their master.

As an emperor, Mo Hua was very clear that if someone wanted to sincerely respect him, then he must show grace and respect them.

The Imperial Consort Qiong gave Gu Rongzhi "The Emperor's favor", while Guyu used "Deterrence" to intimidate Gu Rongzhi.

He could give Gu Rongzhi a certain amount of space and freedom, but he would also have to gradually return to his heart and take care of it.

Mo Hua was patient, he was not afraid that he would not submit.

Guyu was silent for a while, then said with his head still hanging low: "My father, only had one, but it was definitely not you!"

Although his expression could not be seen with a lowered head, one could hear the stubbornness in his voice.

When Mo Hua heard this, his expression darkened and he let out a light sigh. In the end, he was still a ten year old child.

He stood up, walked in front of Guyu and said sternly: "Mo Guyu."

Guyu shook, and looked at his father's strict expression, and was at a loss of what to do. His father had always called him Guyu or Yue'er, and had never once called him "Mo Guyu."

"Father …"

"Pah!"

Just as Guyu was about to speak, he was slapped in the face by Gu Rongzhi, and fell to the ground, at an even greater loss of what to do.

His usually young and tender face that resembled an adult's, was filled with unexplainable grievances as a trace of anger appeared in the depths of his eyes.

After Gu Rongzhi finished beating up Guyu, she silently turned around and slightly bowed towards Mo Hua, and said: "I was negligent in teaching you.

Mo Hua maintained his composure, and glanced at Guyu who was lying on the ground. Seeing the undisguised resentment on his face, he said indifferently, "You can't even see him a few times a year. However … Guyu has already grown up, if we do not teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he does not have a good memory. "

"Your Majesty, please …"

Gu Rongzhi still wanted to plead for mercy, but Guyu suddenly roared out in anger, "If you want to kill me, then kill me!

Guyu was already standing up, gritting his teeth as he shouted, "Father, why do I need to beg him? Since I am not his biological body, he will raise me like a dog, and the days of killing others will just be for me to live!"

"Guyu! "You, shut up!" Gu Rongzhi was shocked and angry.

"My name is Guyu, not Mo Guyu, nor is it Crown Prince of Da Xia! "Don't you dare threaten my father with me!"

When he was five years old, he was rescued by his father, the emperor. At that time, he didn't know anything and only felt that it was fortunate that he could survive. However, as he grew older, the people around him intentionally or unintentionally threw strange looks at him. Behind his back, there were many malicious guesses, insulting words, and deep resentment buried within his little heart.

Every time he entered the palace, his father would always urge him to endure, but in the end, he was still unable to do so.

He had had enough of living such a painful life!

Sometimes, he even felt that his father was afraid of death!

Guyu was the royal family of the Xin Country, he could live or die, it had nothing to do with Da Xia!

He couldn't acknowledge him as his father!

He raised his wrist and a cold light flew out between his fingers. It was a dagger only four inches long. Although it was small, it was enough to pierce through the chest and lungs and reach the heart.

He was the crown prince of Grand Xia. No one would guard against such a small dagger on his body. In fact, no one even thought that it was a dagger. It was more like a fruit knife.

However, at this moment, he held onto the dagger and attacked the emperor with indomitable vigor!

"Die!"

"Protect the emperor!"

Eunuch Qing An stepped forward and blocked in front of Mo Hua, raising his palm slightly, the edge of his palm faintly revealed a ray of light, letting out a hum like the edge of a blade intersecting each other.

Gu Rongzhi, who was standing below the stage, was even faster than Qing An. In the blink of an eye, she had already appeared in front of Guyu.

His back was facing Mo Hua, and other than Guyu, no one else could see his expression. His originally frightened and furious eyebrows suddenly revealed a trace of helplessness, and his tender, cut off palm slid down along the back of Guyu's hand that was holding the dagger, as if it was gently caressing it.

"Puff …"

Blood sprayed out!

"Father!"

Guyu was stunned, he stared blankly at the dagger in his hand piercing into his father's chest, and blankly stared at the blood that flowed out in a beautiful arc.

Father could clearly stop me, Father could have dodged me, Father could have … Yet, she covered the back of her hand with the palm of her hand. In the end, she seemed to pull the dagger in her hand and stabbed it into his body …

Why...

Guyu staggered two steps back, looking at his hands filled with blood, tears continuously flowed out from his eyes.

Seeing this, the hazy luster on the edge of Qing An's palm faded away. The blade-like intersecting hum also disappeared, and Qing An's skin returned to normal. "Empress, are you alright?"

He asked, yet he didn't move away from the emperor. Apparently, he was still on guard.

Gu Rongzhi stood in place without moving. Behind him, both Mo Hua and Qing An were unable to see the state of his injuries, and could only see fresh blood continuously dripping to the ground. And also Guyu's appearance, her hands covered with blood, as if she had lost her soul.

Mo Hua frowned slightly, pushed aside Qing An who was in front of him, walked down with large strides, and arrived in front of Gu Rongzhi. The dagger had stabbed into's chest, and fresh blood had long ago dyed the front of his chest red.

Just as the words left his mouth, Gu Rongzhi tugged at his sleeve. "Don't …" He had only said one word before he coughed out a mouthful of blood, unable to continue.

Mo Hua's brows furrowed even deeper. Seeing him gently shake his head at him, with a pleading look in his eyes for the first time, and looking once again at Guyu, whose face was filled with tears, not knowing what to do, who wanted to go forward but did not dare to come close, Mo Hua's intentions were clear in his heart.

His meaning was extremely obvious.

He could have dodged it, but he was pierced instead. Using his own injuries in exchange for Mo Hua's forgiveness and life.

Assassinating the Emperor was a crime worthy of extermination, and could only be committed with blood.

Mo Hua looked at the crying Guyu and sighed. Just as he was about to speak, the door to Warm Xuan was pushed open and a woman walked in.

Wu Jin's hairpin shone brilliantly on the top of his head, the originally handsome face had turned into complete astonishment when he saw the situation inside the Warm Xuan!

The one who came was none other than Ye Qiongjiang!

Returning to the Jade Dew Hall from the foot of the mountain, she saw Fang Chun looking around in panic at the entrance of the palace. When she saw her, she immediately came over with a face full of joy and surprise. Your Majesty … "Your Majesty …" However, he was too anxious and choked on her words.

"Don't be in such a hurry, speak slowly! "Is the Emperor here to send me over to see you?"

Fang Chun nodded his head, "Yes! "But I can't find you anywhere, so this servant is worried to death!"

Ye Qiongjiang's gaze darkened. Indeed, under the calculations of the Great Deity Official, even if there was any disturbance in the Imperial Palace, or even in the entire imperial court, it would not be able to hide from the Emperor's eyes.
