C294 Why is royal father still here?

Phantom Face did not make a sound, his handsome face creased into a ball. Every day when he looked in the mirror, he would always have the illusion that he was Xuanyuan Zhenhua. In his mind, he saw the fire in his childhood, the pain on his mother's face, and the unwillingness in her eyes.

When he woke up at night with the empress in his arms, he had an illusion of being on high. His heart had been bleeding all this time, and this had given him a great deal of motivation, allowing him to quickly carry out these things and make his misconception come true.

"You heard it too, Jie Er wants to know how the plan works." The empress kept feeling that the atmosphere was not right, afraid that the Phantom Face would see through the discontent in Jie Er's heart.

"I will tell you when it's time. Jie Er, tidy up your emotions these few days, and don't put all your children's private feelings in your heart. Master still has the same words: When you have the world, you can have anything. " Phantom Face's tone was a reminder, but also a warning.

Xuanyuan Jie nodded his head, he did not want to ask anymore, he had already guessed Master's plan. Somehow, he seemed to see the father's pale face. Startled, he clutched his chest in pain.

"What's wrong, Jie Er?" The Queen looked at him in surprise.

"It's nothing. I was too tired these days so I just needed to rest for a while." Xuanyuan Jie shook his head, even his smile looked forced.

"Rest well. Remember your master's words." The Phantom Face walked closer and patted Xuanyuan Jie's shoulders, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yes sir!" Xuanyuan Jie nodded, cupped his hands and walked out the door.

When the door closed, Phantom Face suddenly laughed madly and pulled the Queen into his arms with one hand. Before long, he would be able to sit on the throne of the Azure Dragon Country. And she, would be her fair and square queen.

This action made the empress feel uncomfortable, even though it was still her hand, it was still a hug. At this moment, she felt a boundless chill. Looking at Phantom Face's face, her heart was filled with the sweetness of the past with the emperor.

Is it possible to let go now?

She stared intently at the madness in his eyes, as if everything had been placed on the tip of his blade. A step further would pierce the Emperor's heart, and a step back would pierce his own heart.

Clutching her chest, the pain made her feel uncomfortable all over. Her hand trembled, and she closed her eyes in distress.

"Are you unhappy?" Phantom Face suddenly held onto the Empress's hand tightly. He could feel her trembling.

"Happy! "Of course I'm happy, but …" The Queen threw herself into Phantom Face's embrace, still speaking with hesitation.

"But what?" Phantom Face asked anxiously.

The empress left the arms of the Phantom Face and replied seriously, "It's just that I feel uneasy. I'm worried about Ye'er. That child has always been sentimental lately, so don't get distracted when you go out to battle.

Phantom Face caressed the empress's face and said gently, "Rest assured! I have already transferred the power outside the palace to the inner palace. As for Ye'er's expedition, I will arrange for one of our men to join the team. It would be best for him to wait for everything here to be settled before he comes back.

"Ai …" When will that child understand? It was fine if he was soft-hearted, but he didn't know what was good or bad. If he can have as much as Jie Er, this mother would be at ease. I don't know what he's thinking, and he's always been hostile to you. "If I one day find out your identity, I'm afraid …" The empress sighed, feeling even worse when she thought of Ye'er.

"What are you afraid of? Maybe if he knew, he wouldn't hate me so much. "Actually, don't think too much into it. No matter what, Ye'er is still better than that fellow who can't afford it." When the Phantom Face thought of this childish Xuanyuan Yu, he could not help but burst out laughing.

"That's true! "Ye'er is much stronger than that wastrel." The empress was so happy when she heard it, and casually mentioned something else. "A few days ago, that bastard even found two masters for Xuanyuan Yu, and he left after teaching them for a short while."

"I'm afraid it's not good for them to leave." Phantom Face kept rolling his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered something else as he lowered his voice and asked, "How has Holy Maiden been recently?"

The empress thought for a moment and told the truth, "She said that the palace maids don't have enough blood and left the palace. Let us take care of that little beast before she returns. She can recover soon and come back for revenge."

"That little beast!" Phantom Face frowned, but he quickly relaxed his brows, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

Three days later, Xuanyuan Ye led his men out of the palace. The sky was bright, and Eunuch Lin was preparing to serve the Emperor. Just as he reached the entrance of the palace, he felt a gust of smoke drift past him, and then he lost consciousness.

Early in the morning, Xiaoxiao opened her eyes. The skin on her right side was constantly jumping, and an ominous feeling prevented her from going back to sleep. After thinking about it again and again, she suddenly thought of the father.

She stood up, put on a set of clothes, and ran towards Longxi Hall with all her might. When he entered the father's chambers, he saw that the Eunuch Lin was lying on the ground.

She stepped forward and helped Eunuch Lin up from the ground and pressed her hand on his body.

"Crown Prince's Wife, too... Crown Prince's Wife... " Eunuch Lin's words were stuck in his throat, as he pointed to the nearby door of the palace, his eyes filled with anxiety.

"father... father, he … " Feeling the approaching danger, she put down Eunuch Lin and rushed in without asking any more questions.

The palace was very quiet. At this point in time, the maids and eunuchs had yet to enter. With every step he took, a small sound could be heard.

Silence. A terrifying silence.

The air was filled with the scent of a master. It did not look like the spices used in Azure Dragon Country. It should be something for external use.

She took the bottle from her waist, unscrewed it, sniffed it, and wiped her nose. Only then did he carefully enter the house and look at the lie down through the curtain. Taking a few steps closer, he could vaguely see father lying on it.

Strange?

Since the incense was released, why was father still here?

Feeling very strange, she walked slowly to the curtain. He opened the curtain and slowly walked to the bed. He extended his hand to check the father's breath, this breath was similar to a strong man's.

"Whiz!"

Xuanyuan Zhenhua suddenly opened her eyes, causing Yue Shuang to retreat a few steps in shock.

"father, you …" Looking at father's eyes, she felt that something was wrong, but she was also unable to figure out what was wrong.

"What's wrong? Girl? " Xuanyuan Zhenhua took a deep sniff, his voice sounding heavy, as though he was half asleep.

She tilted her head and looked at father carefully. The clothes were father's clothes, and the face was father's face. That was the look in his eyes. There was something wrong with his eyes. There seemed to be a trace of unspeakable evil in them.

"Why are you here so early?" Seeing the clues in her eyes, Xuanyuan Zhenhua sat up on the bed.

"Oh!" Sleep … I couldn't sleep, so I walked around. " Xiaoxiao reacted quickly enough and casually made an excuse.

"father is fine, go back!" Xuanyuan Zhenhua waved his hands tiredly, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

"Then... "Then I'll take my leave." Xiaoxiao did not say much. Upon entering, she smelled a scent that did not exist on father. This smell was very familiar, but she could not recall what it was.

He glanced around but didn't notice anything strange. Helpless, she could only obediently leave her bedroom. Outside the palace, Eunuch Lin was still lying on the ground weakly.

Xiaoxiao approached the Eunuch Lin and took out the medicine bottle from her waist. She opened the bottle and placed it between his nose for him to smell.

After a moment of sobriety, Eunuch Lin slowly sat up and asked very urgently, "How is your majesty? How is the Emperor? "

"father is fine, I don't think I slept enough." Before there was no evidence, she did not dare speak carelessly, as she was afraid of scaring the Eunuch Lin.

"It's good that you're fine! It's good that you're fine! " The Eunuch Lin nodded and helped Xiaoxiao up. Looking at the palace, he couldn't wait to see it.

"Go! I'm going back. " Looking at the concern in Eunuch Lin's eyes, she felt a burst of excitement in her heart. It was indeed a blessing to have such a loyal servant by father's side.

The Eunuch Lin gave a small bow and quickly headed into the palace. Inside the house, the person on the bed opened his eyes at the sound of footsteps.

"Your majesty, you're awake?" Eunuch Lin whispered outside the curtain.

"I still want to sleep a little. Go and prepare some light breakfast for me, royal kitchen." Behind the curtain, the person on the bed waved his hand.

Eunuch Lin's heart was finally at ease after hearing the Emperor's voice. He saluted and slowly left the room.

Outside the hall, Little White, after some thought, did not leave. He anxiously paced back and forth in front of the door. Seeing the Eunuch Lin walk out, he quickly went to welcome him.

"Eunuch Lin, how is your father?" Little Qiao asked curiously.

"It's fine, it's fine. Your majesty hasn't slept enough. Have your servant prepare the list of meals." Eunuch Lin said happily. He only wanted to give the Emperor something he could eat.

Xiaoxiao was stunned, blinked her eyes and happily said, "Xiaoxiao will go with you!"

"Alright!" Eunuch Lin was also happy, the two of them discussed on their way to royal kitchen.

After confirming that the Eunuch Lin and Xiaoxiao had left, a person walked out of the chamber. A face that was identical to the emperor's, the beard on it was torn off, and the real face was revealed.

"What did you do to the emperor?" Behind him, a deep female voice could be heard.

Upon closer inspection, it was the Empress, and that man was none other than the Phantom Face. He wore a beard, almost the same as the emperor.

"Don't worry, I won't let him die for now." I want him to see how I can recover what I lost. Let him see how he will lose what belongs to him. Let him taste the feeling of losing his loved ones and losing everything that belongs to him. " Phantom Face smiled sinisterly, secretly looking at the sad face of the Queen. His eyelids twitched, and a faint wound appeared on his face.

That fire, that fire, had burned down his only family, as well as his so-called future. He knew who was responsible for the fire.

Red, eyes burning, his heart throbbing again. He pulled the Queen into his embrace and swore solemnly, "What is it? "Still not willing?"

"How could I not? If I can't bear to be with you, then why would I be with you? You're thinking too much!" The empress looked nervous, her hands shaking as she spoke.

The anger in Phantom Face's eyes did not extinguish as he looked at the Queen calmly, "Whatever he can give you, I can give you too. "Remember, do not be merciful. Otherwise, you will be able to collect our son's corpse."

"Yes!"

The empress nodded dumbly, afraid of such looks.

Once, she had thought that he would be the puppet she had gotten from River Mountain, a man who needed her help to stand up. And now, what she saw was a man about to become a demon. The hatred burning in his eyes far outweighed her desire for power for so many years.

Her heart hung in the air as she looked at the emperor's room. She didn't know where he'd gotten the emperor to. Even if he didn't die, he probably wouldn't let the emperor live a good life.

Without a way out, what should she do next?

"Let's go. Accompany me back to have a good rest. After two days of peace, we will begin to get busy." Phantom Face had already adapted to this beauty by putting her arm around the empress's waist.

The Queen blinked her eyes and stared straight at Phantom Face. After a long while, she had no choice but to bow down and call out, "Your majesty, chenqie will serve you well."

"Of course I know that you're my queen, my mountains and rivers are half as good as yours." "As long as you love me this much, I won't let you down." Phantom Face put his hands on the Queen's shoulders. He could tell that she was still obsessed with Xuanyuan Zhenhua.

Unfortunately, he only had Xuanyuan Jie and Xuanyuan Ye, if there were other descendants, he would definitely exterminate them.

However, things were different now. He was young, and if they didn't obey him and one day actually ascended to the throne, he would be able to sleep with them. At that time, it wouldn't be too late to give birth to a girl.

With an eerie smile, he reached out to touch the empress's old face. This face might soon disappear from life. Thus, he would cherish every moment he was with her.

"What's the matter with you?" The empress was afraid of such looks.

"It's nothing. I'm just sighing with emotion!" The Phantom Face carried the Queen and walked straight into Xuanyuan Zhenhua's palace.
