"What is your motive for visiting the Forbidden Palace so late in the night?" It just so happened that their eyes met. Although Dongfang Ziqing's heart was a little fearful, the other person had addressed her as the Empress and said some weird things. It was obvious that they were coming for her.

However, she had stayed in the palace, so when had she provoked the martial arts world?

Seeing that Dongfang Ziqing's gaze was cold and unafraid, the man in black laughed and leaped down from the roof. However, he maintained his position with his arms crossed and looked at Dongfang Ziqing with a smile.

Except, this smile wasn't very enjoyable, and it made those watching feel uncomfortable.

"If you've seen enough, get the hell out of the palace!" With a light wave of her sleeve, Dongfang Ziqing turned around and walked into the hall. However, the moment she closed the door and turned around, she saw the black clothed person sitting on a chair and drinking the soup that was used to nourish her body.

"I don't like to be in the same room with strangers. If you have nothing better to do, come to the Yi Palace on your way here, please leave. If you have anything you want to tell me, please take off your veil and explain your purpose in coming here. Sitting across from the man in black, Dongfang Ziqing did not let her guard down, but her tone of voice was not as hostile as before.

It was just as the man in black had said. At this moment, she really had nothing to care about.

It's just a head cut, or some other way of ending it. If someone was willing to send her on her journey to the Yellow Springs, there was nothing unacceptable about it.

Looking at Dongfang Ziqing's calm eyes, the black clothed man slightly raised his thick eyebrows. A strange light flashed in his eyes that were filled with deep thought.

"If I could avenge you, would you be willing to live?" After entering the room, he spoke for the first time. The black clothed man played with the teacup in his hand as he looked towards Dongfang Ziqing without blinking.

"Revenge?" Dongfang Ziqing mumbled softly, her eyes slightly froze.

"Could it be that the empress can ignore the blood feuds of the Dongfang family?" He playfully looked at Dongfang Ziqing as he put down his teacup, intending to get up and leave.

"Of course I want revenge!" She slapped the table forcefully with her bare hand, and Dong Fang Zi Qing said coldly: "But, so what if we have our revenge? My family still can't be revived! Hatred is nothing more than something that makes you ugly. I would rather go to the underworld with my family and pray that we can renew our family love in the next life. "

Hearing Dongfang Ziqing's words, the black clothed man was obviously stunned. A complex emotion that even he himself did not notice flashed across his smiling eyes, and it even had a hint of gentleness to it.

Such a kind-hearted woman might not be suitable to be an envoy for revenge.

"If I can save Dongfang Zihan and make the Dongfang family burn endlessly, would the empress consider the matter of revenge?" As he spoke again, the black clothed man threw out another heavy blow, smashing on Dongfang Ziqing's heart, which no longer held any hope.

"Who are you? Is that true? " Dong Fang Zi Qing excitedly said. She clenched her hand that was placed on the table into a fist, and her voice was also trembling.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Perhaps one day, you will know. " After drinking another mouthful of the tea, the black clothed man put down the cup and shook his head with a clucking sound, as if he was talking about how difficult it was to drink the tea. "Esteemed Empress just needs to answer, whether or not you're willing to take revenge is enough."

"I'm willing!" Without any hesitation, Dongfang Ziqing eagerly replied: "As long as you can save my big brother, I am willing to take revenge and agree to do anything!"

After saying that, Dongfang Ziqing stood up, lifted up her skirt, and knelt down. She said seriously: "As long as you can save my big brother, Dongfang Ziqing will be your servant for the rest of your life. At your command!"

"Empress, just remember what you said today." The man in black helped Dongfang Ziqing up and walked towards the door.

"Wait a moment." She opened her mouth to call the man in black. Dongfang Ziqing bit her lower lip, paused for a moment, and then said: "Since you can save my brother, can you also …"

"Does the empress think that the Celestial Prison is a place where anyone can enter and leave at will?" The black clothed person stopped. He didn't give Dongfang Ziqing a chance to finish her words as he spoke, "If the empress wants everyone from the Dongfang family to live, then I can only beg King Yama not to take their souls. And I am not a god! "

"It's Dongfang Ziqing who is asking for it." Lowering her head, Dongfang Ziqing's heart ached silently because she could not save her parents. However, it was still better to be able to save his brother than to see the Dongfang family disappear like this, right? " May I ask how Dongfang Ziqing can find you? "

"When you need it, I will naturally appear." Turning around, the black-clothed man looked Dongfang Ziqing in the eye and said softly, "Empress, do not mention today's matter to anyone, including your loved ones and your trusted aides. Otherwise, I will never appear again. "

With that, the man in black waved his arm and the door opened. A gust of cold wind caused Dongfang Ziqing to close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, there was no trace of the black clothed man …

"Big brother, this is the only thing Qing Er can do for you." Even if Qing'er had to pay a painful price for this, she wouldn't hesitate. "I just want..." After being reborn, you will be able to live a good life, and you must not do anything stupid, and not let the Dongfang family have another person to take revenge on!

Lowering her head, Dongfang Ziqing chuckled softly. Her smile contained tears and flowers, pain and hope …

As long as the Dongfang family could keep their lifeline, it would be worth it no matter what she turned into. This way, he could be considered as repaying his parents for raising him!

"Three lifetimes worth of repayment is heavy for the birth of a child in October. Father, mother, Qing Er does not know if I can be lucky enough to be your daughter in the next life. In this life, the only thing Qing'er can do for you all is to protect Big Brother's life! Please forgive your daughter for being unfilial and unable to accompany you to the underworld. " As she spoke faintly, Dongfang Ziqing raised her eyes and looked at the empty courtyard. Her tears were like pearls with their strings cut, rolling down one after another.

However, Dongfang Ziqing could not completely believe the words of the man in black. Unless there was something on her that was worth that person making use of and that she could not do without, who would be willing to help the fallen Dongfang family at this moment?

She raised her arms and placed them on her flat belly. Dongfang Ziqing sighed. Since she chose to live by revenge, then this child … Should he stay?

If he was allowed to be born, would he have to face the unfathomable hatred of his parents that could never be completed?

One night was not long. It was only twenty-four hours. However, this night had been a long and torturous one for Xuanyuan Chen Mo and Shangguan Yushi.

As far as Xuanyuan Chen Mo was concerned, ever since he found out that Dongfang Ziqing was pregnant, he had never thought of killing her. He even wanted to use his child to keep Dongfang Ziqing! After all, after interacting with Dongfang Ziqing for over ten years, he couldn't really not have any feelings for her. Furthermore, a pure and kind-hearted Dongfang Ziqing did not dabble in politics. She was locked in the palace for her entire life, and it did not affect his imperial power at all.

But when Shangguan Yeyue suggested adoption, Xuanyuan Chenmo didn't really know what to do with it. He understood Shangguan Yanxue's intention was simply to pass Dongfang Ziqing's child under her name.
