The honest and simple westward step, walked out of the mountains and forests, and followed Zhongli's side to learn. With Zhongli here, no one dares to bully this honest man, because everyone knows that Xibu and Zhongli are the closest, and provoking Xibu is the same as provoking Zhongli.

is such a person, who was forced to learn to disguise, and suffered psychological trauma every day. If it was Enchanted, he could have confessed all this to Zhongli, because Zhongli was reluctant to kill him. But he didn't dare, he would die if he said it, he had to hide it carefully, and even the number of times he went to the bell hall was decreasing.

Even if the axe is added, even if he is beaten by Zhongli, Xibu will not feel pain. But this kind of mental distress caused him to torture himself constantly, and no one could teach him what to do. Xibu knew that it was a betrayal to hide this from Zhongli and Yingzheng, but he had no choice, he didn't want that little life to die with Yi'an.

Zhongli looked at Yi An's eyes, and his desperate and helpless expression was too similar to Meng Jiang at the beginning. That time, on the night of the bell hall, Ying Zheng was stabbed by his lover's arrow, and they all thought Ying Zheng was dead. At that time, Zhongli also felt a burst of heartache, and Meng Jiang was bent on death, just like Yi'an now.

Is it wrong? She didn't bewitch Xibu at all? Zhongli was confused. With Xibu's strength, as long as he doesn't want to get drunk, no matter how much he drinks, he can use internal force to force him out of his body. But Xibu was really drunk, why was he drunk? Maybe it's just to ask about that kind of illusory love. At that time, Ian was already drunk and would not answer any questions at all, and this stupid boy was stupid to do the rest of the work. In other words, what happened after that, only Xibu did it himself, how could he have such a mind?

Ying Zheng asked, "Xiaobu, your heartache is only because someone needs your protection, and you don't want to hide it from us. There is a contradiction in my heart, and you don't know what to say to us, it is caused by the tip of the horns of the bull for a while. ”

Xibu nodded and said, "My aunt is my relative, I won't hide anything from her, but this time, I really don't dare to say it." That little life is mine, I took the initiative to do it that night, Xiao An is already drunk into mud, what can she know? ”

Ying Zheng continued to ask: "Since you know that you are wrong, why did you give birth to this child?" You should know that Yiling Palace is a prison, and it is difficult for people born here to get out. ”

Xibu said bitterly: "Before I came to Yiling Palace, my aunt told me that it was clearly for protection, but it was actually for surveillance. But does the king understand my feelings? Like my aunt, I was born without knowing who my parents were, and we were all outcasts. ”

"In order to protect the Zhong Palace, many sisters dare not give birth to children for the king, but some sisters would rather die themselves than give birth to children. Once I asked Sister Lin Ye, Sister Mirun doesn't want to have a child, why do you want to fight with your life to conceive a child? In this palace, there are too many people who want to kill Sister Lin Ye, and she should be the person who should not conceive a child. ”

She told me that maybe we don't know who our parents are, but we are human beings, and if we are human beings, we have to pass on the lineage, which is a person's vocation. If you have a child, you may die, but as long as the child lives, it is a continuation of life, at least representing the traces you have left in this world. ”

"At first I didn't understand, but now I do. Born in the mountains, they often see wild beasts fighting, no matter how fierce the beasts are, they all have one thing in common, they are trying to give birth to their offspring in any dangerous environment. Even if the blood is drenched in the bite of other beasts, it will not eat its own child, because the child represents the continuation of life. ”

Ying Zheng listened silently, he didn't expect the stupid Xibu to say such a profound truth.

Zhongli felt uncomfortable in his heart, since Yingzheng returned to Xianyang, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he often went out of retreat, and took little care of Xibu. In the past few years, let this kid stay in the Yiling Hall and go alone to find the answer to what love is. It's really bitter for this kid, once he has love, it becomes so painful.

Zhao Cui had another feeling, she had also said Lin Ye before, persuading her not to have children. In order to conceive a child, she was almost killed several times, and even the ghost grandmother, who had not been born for many years, was transferred to the palace for protection. was even forced by the Empress Dowager Xia Ji to put down the Broken Dragon Stone, and she had no regrets. At the same time, I also thought of Hu Ji, Ah Fangnu, Fusheng and others, they have no power in the palace, and many people don't understand why they want to conceive children, but now Zhao Cui understands.

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Then do you understand?" ”

Xibu shook his head and said, "How can I understand things that my aunt doesn't know?" ”

Ying Zheng said seriously: "Let me tell you, everything you are doing now is love. For the sake of this child, you hide from everyone, and you are willing to pay for the child, which is a father-son relationship. In order to protect Yi'an, she forcibly interfered in the internal affairs of the Yiling Hall and did not let anyone enter her room, which is the love between men and women. ”

"Maybe you still don't understand, but the actions you have made me know that you cherish their mother and daughter. People, it seems complicated, but in fact it is very simple, know how to cherish it, and are willing to give everything for it, which is the expression of true feelings. ”

"Let me ask you again, Yi'an is the head of the Yiling Palace, she has made mistakes, and with your mind, you can't think of a way to protect her. Did she teach you to do that? ”

Xibu shook his head desperately and said: "Xiao An has said many methods, but I have rejected them, because I don't want to lie to my aunt, as long as she comes to ask me, I will tell her." But my aunt never came to me, and I didn't dare to go to the Zhong Hall too many times, for fear of being seen through. ”

"The methods I use are all taught by Sister Lin Ye and Sister Hu Ji. They have made countless plans to protect their children, and I think one of them is very suitable. As long as I send the child out of the palace safely, as long as outsiders don't know, when the child arrives at the ranch, my brothers will definitely raise her. My aunt was very good to me, maybe she would kill me in a fit of rage, even if she knew about the child, but the child had already arrived at the ranch and was not in the palace, and she was reluctant to kill it. ”

"So I entered Huayang Palace many times and got to know a few procurement eunuchs who often went in and out of the palace. Although Huayang Palace has lost power, it is still the biggest force in the palace, even if it is monitored by the Zhong Palace, if you want to listen to the news from all over the place, there are still a large number of people available. ”

"Those people can go out, but I can't go out with the child, I don't dare to hand over the child to them, Sister Lin Ye's eyes and ears are all over the palace, and I don't even dare to hold the child and walk out of Xiao An's room."

Speaking of this, Xibu cried and said, "O king, you can kill me and Xiao An, just ask you to spare my child, she is innocent." She is so pitiful, she has never cried since she was born. We don't dare, as long as we uncover the cloth that seals our mouths, the baby's cry will definitely make Sister Xiaocui feel it. ”

Watching Xibu keep kowtowing, Ying Zheng pointed and pointed to the dumb point of Xibu. He pointed with his backhand and untied Yi'an's acupoint. Holding the child in his arms, Ying Zheng asked, "Xiao An, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Yi An couldn't stop crying, his eyes only stared at the child in Ying Zheng's arms, and the corner of his mouth murmured: "The matter has come to this, Yi An has nothing to say, just ask the king to put me to death immediately." Only a few of us know here, and sending Brother Xibu and the child out of the palace will not have any impact. ”

Ying Zheng sighed with emotion: "Since you're going to die, tell me everything you know." Xibu often goes to Huayang Palace, during his absence, has anyone been in and out of the Yiling Palace? ”

Yi'an was silent for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Xibu's eyes widened, Zhongli and Zhao Cui looked at each other, in addition to them, there were actually outsiders entering and leaving the Yiling Palace.

Ying Zheng asked lightly, "Who is it?" ”

Yi'an closed his eyes and said, "I can't say, don't ask again, the king, and put me to death quickly." ”

Ying Zheng unlocked Xibu's acupoint, Xibu hugged Yi'an's shoulders, and said bitterly: "Xiao An, I am your man, how can you let outsiders enter the Yiling Palace?" Hurry up and tell it, as long as you kill that person, the secret here can be kept. ”

Yi's face was soothed, and he said with tears: "Brother Xibu, that person is kind to us, I didn't want this child, but you have always let me give birth." One day, you went to Huayang Palace, and she came, I have an old disease, and I can't take care of the child after giving birth. When she saw that I dared to give birth to a child, she smiled and said that she would save the child's life to repay the past grievances. I don't know what pills she fed the child, after the child took it, his mood was stable and he grew stronger, and she saved the child's life. ”

"We all know the secrets of the Yiling Palace, not only me, but every palace maid here knows her. I can only say so much, she saved the child, that is, she is a great favor to us, how can I say her name? ”

Xibu was stunned for a while, knelt down and crawled to Zhongli's side, hugged Zhongli's legs, and said: "Auntie, that person has a great kindness to me, you kill me and Xiao An, and the child will be sent out of the palace." Don't ask that person again, Xiao An won't say it, I know everyone here, they will say what they should say, they shouldn't say it, and they would rather die than say it. ”

Zhongli looked at Ying Zheng and said to the chef: "You are the person in charge of living and eating here, if an outsider comes in, it is impossible to hide it from your eyes, who is that person?" ”

The chef knelt on the ground and said, "Your Excellency, we won't talk about it, so please don't ask again." I'm sure that as long as you ask a few more questions, some cowardly palace maids are afraid that they will bite their tongues and kill themselves immediately. Even if all the palace maids in the Yiling Hall are killed, we will not tell anything about her. ”

Zhongli was puzzled, there was still such a person hidden in the palace, who could it be? From a very early age, they knew that the people in the Yiling Hall had hidden a lot of things. And this Yiling Hall itself hides the biggest secret, not to mention the people who guard here.

Everyone here has their own secrets, and because they know too many secrets, they have to monitor them. But under such surveillance, there are still outsiders who can enter and exit freely here, and the Yiling Hall is like this, so the Zhong Palace, I'm afraid there will be more people like that.

Zhong Li was about to continue to ask, but Ying Zheng stopped: "Xiao Zhong, don't ask, do you really want to force everyone here to death?" ”

Zhongli sighed and said, "Childe said not to ask, I can not ask, but Xiaobu, Yi'an, and this child cannot stay in the world, they must be killed." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Zhongli's eyes and said, "Don't kill." ”
