Right!

It was a type of spiritual energy, a spiritual energy that carried life.

Perhaps the smell of blood in the rouge palace was too strong, so even the flowers were rather beautiful.

"Master... Mistress, let's leave! Normally, this kind of place where there are no maidservants to guard is the forbidden grounds of the palace. " Ling'er looked around again. It was completely empty without a single person in sight. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the furnishings here looked a little like …

"Since it's a forbidden area, no one will come." It was a small but very comfortable place. In the forbidden area, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Mei would go further away. Even the maids and eunuchs would not dare to approach this place. It was the most suitable place for drinking tea.

Furthermore, coming to this place was enough. She realized that she had to learn how to remain calm! He had to remain calm. Otherwise, even if he were to die from anxiety, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Then, that Ling Er will watch for you at the door." Ling'er still felt that something wasn't right. The Supreme Dragon Hall's forbidden area wasn't like the others. If the emperor knew about it, then it would take a lot of brains.

"That's fine too!" Seeing Ling'er's worry, Xiaoxiao naturally agreed.

Ling'er smiled faintly and walked out with large strides. Standing up, she also walked down from the pavilion. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, she felt a scalding hot sensation on her chest.

He touched his chest and realized that it was the jade pendant that was heating up. She took out the jade pendant from her clothes and focused on the design on it.

Light! A wisp of rose-red light shone from the jade pendant onto a rosebud flower, and the light immediately reflected into a nearby room. In just an instant, the light disappeared.

What's in it?

Curiosity took over her mind as she walked uncontrollably through the light, stopping at the door of one of the rooms.

When he pushed the door open, there were lanterns shining in the room, and he was greeted by an antique room, a set of mahogany tables and chairs, a small bed, and a unique screen.

The room was clean and simple, but empty. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time, yet there was someone who had been here cleaning all this time. Thus, this place should have some profound connotations.

She stepped inside, and when she glanced around the room again, she saw a beautiful picture scroll of a woman hanging on the wall.

As she approached, she looked intently at the woman in the scroll. The woman wore a long white dress and held a white paper fan with two rouge flowers painted on it. Liu Ye arched her brows, her cherry lips were beautiful and moving. In between her eyebrows, she let out an indifferent smile, so beautiful that even women would fall in love with her. With her slender figure and slender and slender waist, she was definitely a beauty that could cause men to cough up blood.

"Huh?!"

The woman in the painting was so beautiful that she resembled a person. She also had the jade pendant by her waist, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Jade pendant?

Xiaoxiao held the jade pendant on her chest and looked at it again and again, only to discover that it looked exactly like the pattern on the pendant. On a closer look, there was a small gap in the jade pendant and the one he was wearing had a gap too. Heavens, he didn't even let go of his flaws. This painter was too incredible.

Rubbing her eyes in surprise, she moved closer to confirm that it was the same jade pendant. Looking up, the collar of the woman on the scroll was open, and he could just make out the birthmark on her chest, and he was sure it was the same color as his own. Unfortunately, the collar wasn't too low, so he only saw a spot of red like a petal.

'Could she be the elder sister that Pingfei mentioned? '

With his appearance and figure, he looked just like a person. A person he was very familiar with seemed to be with him every day.

Walking back and forth, she stood in front of a large mirror. Turning his head, he saw his own reflection in the mirror. Blinking his eyes to look at her dress today, he realized that she was too ladylike today. He put down his hair and carefully admired his beauty.

Ah!

Shocked, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, stared at herself in the mirror, then rushed to the painting to look at it again and again.

Heavens!

It turned out that the woman on the painting was similar in appearance to him, and even her expression was somewhat similar.

How... How could this be?

Swallowing her saliva in disbelief, she couldn't help but reach out her hand to touch the painting scroll as she mumbled to herself, "Are you really my mother?"

No!

She was from modern times, how could she have an ancient mother? Moreover, there were many people in the world who looked exactly the same.

Perhaps it was because she was too similar to this woman that she felt that intimate feeling. Everything was just a coincidence.

Buzz

His heart beat faster, and he felt short of breath. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the light shoot out from the jade pendant. Light directly shot onto the flower scroll, and the jade pendant at the woman's waist turned from one into two.

It was a pair!

He moved closer and looked at the pair of jade pendants. One of them was still his, while the other one had a similar design to his.

Where is the other jade pendant?

As she was deep in thought, the pattern on the jade pendant started to change, and something that looked like a map appeared on it.

Wow, wow, wow!

Could it be that he found the peerless treasure map?

A treasure trove as rich as a nation can help a group of ambitious people build new kingdoms. Or could there be some peerless martial arts that allowed the martial artists in the world to dominate them?

Interesting!

Xiaoxiao smirked, and the map on the painting disappeared. The light from the jade pendant also disappeared. She carefully placed the jade pendant inside her clothes and decided to ask Pang Fei about other things regarding this woman.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Ling'er!"

Outside the room, Ling'er greeted the emperor in a loud voice, hoping that her master was ready.

It's over! It's over! It's over!

Why has royal father come?

Xiaoxiao stamped her feet in panic, looked around, and finally stopped at the bottom of the bed.

Xuanyuan Zhenhua had originally wanted to find a quiet place to stay. Moreover, in these past few days, his longing for her had grown even stronger. Thus, after splitting up the empress and Imperial Concubine Mei, he walked over alone.

He didn't expect to see such a small girl standing guard at the door. He didn't need to think to know that the girl must be inside. This clever girl must have purposely told him in a loud voice.

"Do you know that this is a forbidden area?" Looking at Ling'er, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing, he intentionally put on the imposing voice of an emperor as he asked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us! Your Majesty, please forgive me! " Ling'er repeatedly kowtowed on the ground.

"Get up! Wait here, no one is allowed to enter. " Xuanyuan Zhenhua raised his head and walked inside.

The familiar courtyard, the familiar rouge flower, the familiar smell, it was the unfamiliar her. He looked with disappointment at the room that had been opened. He looked inside thoughtfully.

Where was he?

Xuanyuan Zhenhua did not see any small figures, but the seasoned man glanced at the room once before accurately stopping his gaze at the foot of the bed.

"Come out!" Laughing loudly, he stroked his long beard.

Xiaoxiao crawled under the bed, and upon hearing his father's cries, she felt that this was just an act of the old fox. Thus, she decided to continue lying on the ground and wait for his royal father to leave before she went out.

Without seeing Xiaoxiao crawl out from under the bed, Xuanyuan Zhenhua was disappointed. However, this disappointment only lasted for a moment. The footprints on the ground soon confirmed his guess.

Clearing his throat, he spoke in a mischievous tone, "My princess, if you don't come out soon, I will have my men move the bed away with you!"

The gangster was still the same, the ginger was still the spicier!

Xiaoxiao crawled out from under the bed and patted off the dust on her body. Only then did she see the footprints left on the ground. No wonder she was easily exposed.

Lowering her head, like a child who had done something wrong, she shyly walked in front of his royal father and gave him a big bow.

"Do you know that this is a forbidden area?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua pretended to be serious as he sized up this little girl.

"Father, this little … I don't know. "I drank too much just now, and unknowingly, I walked over here." He grabbed his right hand with his left, stammering as he spoke, not daring to raise his head.

Xuanyuan Zhenhua pretended to be mysterious and did not speak as he circled the small circle. The more he looked at his, the more he looked like the girl in the painting.

Naughty, cute, what else could describe this naughty daughter-in-law?

He thought for a while, then said, "Did you see the painting on the wall?"

"Wh …" "What painting?" asked Tiny hesitantly, still embarrassed to look up.

There was no need to ask any further, and Xuanyuan Zhenhua immediately understood the small purpose of her visit. Presumably, he already knew some things about her from Madam Ping. Therefore, he did not intend to keep it a secret. It was time to find someone to share the feelings that had been buried deep within his heart for so many years.

However, she did not hear her father's response. She knew that the paper could not contain the fire, so she could only say softly, "Xiaoxiao is somewhat similar to the person on the painting."

"You saw it too!" As Xuanyuan Zhenhua spoke, his eyes were filled with sadness. He looked passionately at the woman in the painting on the wall, his eyes bloodshot as he ran his hands over the painting.

Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at the true emotions in her royal father's eyes. She could feel how much he loved her and how deeply he had been hurt.

Humans are always like this. The more you can't get it, the more you want it. However, after obtaining it, how could he know how to treasure it?

The Empress, Imperial Consort Mei, both women deeply loved him and even spent money on him to have children. In his heart, however, there was only the woman in the painting, the woman he had never been able to obtain in his entire life.

If he fell in love with such a man, then he would only be able to live with eternal sorrow. Because the grudges were waiting for him.

Heavens!

If he was this woman's daughter, would he be her father's son?

No! If that was the case, it would be a huge joke. Fortunately, they did not have a bridal room, so even if something strange happened, there was still a chance to turn things around.

The same question lingered in Xuanyuan Zhenhua's mind as his eyes fell upon his small face. Looking at her face, it was as if everything had gone back to how it used to be.

"Su Su!" He couldn't help but cry out.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment. Where did he hear such a term before?

That's right, in the dream, there was someone who called the woman who always had her back to her as Susu. Right, she was the woman he had dreamt of.

But, with such a beautiful appearance, why didn't she dare to turn her head? What was he afraid of revealing? He was still afraid that he would know too much.
