His mind suddenly recalled the words of this man just now that were different from those of the Xilan. He seemed to have an answer in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain.

"How did you kill our men?" These stiff words made the question in Gu Ling Xue's heart even more intense.

It was obvious that the man in front of her was not from Xilan. His stiff tone of voice sounded more like that of a foreigner she had met in her previous life.

"If you tell me who sent you, I might explain how I killed your people so easily." A bewitching voice sounded in the man in black's ears, easily attracting the man's attention.

After all, the third level of summoning technique was not cultivated for nothing.

A trace of a smile spread out from the corner of his mouth as he stared at the man's eyes. Under Gu Ling Xue's gaze, the man in black slowly opened his mouth.

"I am." The man's stiff words stuck out from his mouth. However, halfway through his words, the man's body suddenly trembled, and then he crashed onto the ground without any forewarning.

Gu Ling Xue scanned her surroundings vigilantly, but she did not sense any movements, and there were no signs of other people.

As he bent down in confusion, Gu Ling Xue tried to check on the reason behind the man's sudden death. But just as he was about to touch the man, the black clothed man's body suddenly turned into a puddle of black water and lost its original appearance.

Gu Ling Xue's hand that was reaching out into the air suddenly stopped, she looked at the corpse that instantly turned into water, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This man had actually committed suicide under her control. Moreover, for some reason, he had instantly turned into a pool of black water?

Gu Ling Xue stood up, but discovered that the people around her who she had originally killed were now all the same as the man before, no longer in their original form.

Frowning, Gu Ling Xue kept her original red smelting furnace s and headed straight for Imperial Palace.

She believed that this secret art would definitely be recorded in the biggest library in Xilan.

The Palace.

Mu Rong Hong Yu sat blankly on the bed, quietly looking at the woman who was sleeping soundly, his heart was at ease.

Twenty years.

He waited for twenty years, and finally this woman woke up. Mu Rong Hong Yu finally had a hint of happiness in his heart.

Perhaps, due to the long period of slumber, the Sedum had forgotten about him, but he believed that as long as he accompanied her for one day, she would definitely fall in love with him again.

A pair of thick and big hands gently caressed Sedum's face, it was so excited that it trembled a little.

Afraid that he would wake the person in front of him up, Mu Rong Hong Yu could only withdraw his right hand that he had no control over, and quietly watch the sleeping girl in front of him.

Before this, the skin he had touched for more than twenty years was ice-cold, but now it had a very warm feeling to it.

An indescribable excitement filled every corner of his heart. Mu Rong Hong Yu could not help but pinch himself hard, afraid that this was just a dream.

At this time, the eyelashes of the person on the bed trembled, and a pair of beautiful eyes appeared in front of Mu Rong Hong Yu.

However, Beautiful did not persist for more than a few seconds. Her eyes were filled with fear and surprise.

Mu Rong Hong Yu's hand that was in the air trying to caress it suddenly stopped, and awkwardly pulled it back under the Sedum's gaze, and said: "I am a good person, I have no ill intentions."

Mu Rong Hong Yu was still unable to convince himself that he had been forgotten about by the Sedum.

In the end, it was because he couldn't take care of her properly.

"Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."

Embarrassed, he turned around and covered the disappointment in his eyes. Mu Rong Hong Yu turned around and personally poured a cup of tea for Sedum, scaring all of the maids around him into kneeling down beside the emperor.

"Emperor."

The maidservants lowered their heads, kneeling before the emperor while trembling in fear.

According to the rules of the palace, pouring tea was the work of eunuchs and maidservants. If the master were to do it himself, they wouldn't be too far away from death.

He impatiently glanced at the servants kneeling beside him. Without the slightest hesitation, he shouted, "Get down!"

Mu Rong Hong Yu frowned, but when he turned to look at Sedum, he had already relaxed.

He didn't want her to see his bad side.

However, when Mu Rong Hong Yu turned around, he saw the woman who had curled up into a ball, tightly hugging the only blanket in her hands. Her trembling voice entered Mu Rong Hong Yu's ears: "Don't come over here."

Sedum is actually so afraid of me.

Mu Rong Hong Yu frowned, then he suddenly thought back to how he looked towards his servants, and felt much more relieved.

Perhaps the scolding she had given them had frightened her.

Mu Rong Hong Yu cautiously handed over a teacup to Sedum, and used an extremely gentle voice to speak to him, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

She could only place the teacup on the side of the bed and walk far away, saying, "Come, drink some water."

Seeing Mu Rong Hong Yu's cautious look, Sedum gradually let his guard down. When Mu Rong Hong Yu was near enough, he slowly moved to the side of the bed and drank all the water in the teacup in one go.

It had been more than twenty years since he had last eaten. At this moment, Sedum only had one thought in his heart, "Hungry."

"Good, good, good."

Finally hearing the Sedum take the initiative to speak with him, Mu Rong Hong Yu realized that she had forgotten to prepare food for Sedum. She responded happily twice, and then, Mu Rong Hong Yu hurried out of her room and ordered the servants to bring food for her.

Following which, he called Doctor Li who was already waiting outside the room to the side and asked him about the condition of Sedum's illness.

"Emperor, to be honest, this lady's illness is a heart attack. If she doesn't want to wake up, no one else can help." Doctor Li respectfully bowed and said, "This humble subject only has one lady to prescribe some tonics to nourish my body. I can't help with anything else."

Heart disease?

Mu Rong Hong Yu heard and did not speak anymore. He recalled the events that happened twenty years ago before Sedum went to sleep and could only sigh helplessly.

"Forget it." Mu Rong Hong Yu shook his head and walked inside the house, but he felt extremely grieved in his heart.

Sedum, you still aren't willing to forgive me?

I have let you down.

Returning back to the house, Mu Rong Hong Yu looked at Sedum who was currently focused on tasting delicious dishes on the table from far away and did not dare to move forward again, as he was afraid of disturbing Sedum's appetite.

After waiting for a moment, Sedum who was initially wholeheartedly lowering his head to taste the delicacies, finally raised his head unwillingly from the table full of dishes, and looked towards Mu Rong Hong Yu who was standing far away, a brilliant smile plastered on his face.

And with that smile, Mu Rong Hong Yu suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.

"Is it delicious?"

Her gentle tone lingered in Sedum's ears. She was suddenly no longer that afraid of the man in front of her.

Sedum blushed as she nodded her head shyly. She then lowered her head and stared at the food in front of her, and without giving up, she swallowed the last mouthful.

"One more."

Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes carried a smile, and looked gently at Sedum, but discovered that the latter was shaking her head in panic.

"No, no need."

"Are you full?" Even his words had a trace of a doting tone to them, causing the servants outside the room to become more and more surprised.

They only knew that their emperor was violent and did not like women. There were not only three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, but he did not favor the empress very much. As a result, a legend had been circulating amongst the servants, and everyone guessed that their Emperor might be Broken Back.

However, after seeing the Emperor treat another girl with such a doting tone with their own eyes, they finally understood.

So it turned out that Emperor wasn't the so-called broken back, but was completely devoted to him.

Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes were filled with Sedum. This fiery feeling was unbearable for Sedum, as she awkwardly turned her head to look into the distance.

Sedum asked herself yet again as if she was asking Mu Rong Hong Yu, "Do you know who I am?"

The short six words shocked Mu Rong Hong Yu so much that he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to reply. Then, the Sedum looked at him with suspicion.

She didn't even know who she was?

Mu Rong Hong Yu's heart was full of guilt and self-blame, and his expression became extremely clear.

"You say that you're my husband, but do you have any basis?"

Her thin lips opened and closed, but she spat out words that made people's heart ache.

He once thought that it didn't matter if the Sedum didn't remember him, as long as she had enough time, he would make her fall in love with him. But in the end, he had never expected that when Sedum questioned him with such an indifferent expression, her heart simply could not bear it.

"Where is this?"

One after another of questions unceasingly smashed into Mu Rong Hong Yu's heart. Under the Sedum's passionate gaze, Mu Rong Hong Yu lowered his head and was silent for a moment.

Ye Zichen raised his hand tiredly, signaling the servants in the room to go out.

The palace maids and eunuchs understood the meaning behind Emperor's words, and they immediately retreated, closing the doors behind them.

At this time, only Mu Rong Hong Yu and Sedum remained in the house.

Forget it, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. The Sedum will eventually know the reason behind her slumber back then. Rather than letting her find out for herself, she might as well tell her.

"Sedum, your original name was Mu Rong Jing. She is the daughter of the third generation successor of the Mu Rong family, and also the daughter of my royal uncle. "As for me, I have grown up alongside you, Brother Yu." Mu Rong Hong Yu laughed bitterly, "You always call me that."

"Yeah." Nodding his head, Mu Rong Hong Yu's gaze once again landed on Mu Rong Jing's face, and his thoughts floated back to the face that he had looked at on the ice bed for the past twenty years.

A subtle change flashed across Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes, and his tone of voice instantly relaxed a lot; it wasn't as heavy as before.
