Ghostly spirit, I like you

  "What is your relationship with Qinghe?!"

  Xuan Huang's face stiffened, and she asked with some tension.

  When he heard Jing Huan's words, Gui Mie's eyes flickered involuntarily, and then quickly recovered his icy calm demeanor.

  However, only Han Hui's pupil, who was still in the ghostly charm, knew that the ghostly charm's mood at this moment must be irreconcilable, he was tense and excited.

  Because his heart was beating so fast, even through thick clothes, she could hardly feel it.

  Moreover, after hearing Xuan Huang's words, his back immediately straightened up, proving that he was actually very concerned about Xuan Huang's words.

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but re-examine the man in front of her.

  Looking at that familiar yet icy handsome face, thinking of his past, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, feeling heartache for the man in front of me.

  Actually, Guī Mèi is the one who yearns for family affection the most, and his heart is also very fragile.

  Han Xi Tong thought to herself, "Gui Mei doesn't know what she's thinking, but after hearing Xuan Huang's words, the corner of her mouth curled up involuntarily, as if she had heard something interesting. She let out a cold laugh, and in her tone, there was an unmistakable hint of disdain and sarcasm."

  "Oh, it's rare that you still remember my mother. I thought you'd be too busy with your noble life to recall her at all!"

  "What!?! Qinghe is your mother!?"

  Although I had already vaguely guessed a few points in my heart just now, after all, the ghost's appearance inherited too much from her mother, it's hard to make people guess.

  However, upon hearing Guī Mèi say it herself, Xǐng Huáng's heart still felt a hint of surprise.

  Then, as if thinking of something, he continued to ask.

  "Earlier you said the owner of this jade hairpin was dead, was it Qing He? She... is dead?"

  As for the name Qinghe, actually, Jinghuang also felt a bit unfamiliar with it. After all, he was busy with many things and could accurately say this name, which wasn't easy.

  Not to mention, he hadn't seen Qinghe for twenty years and had long forgotten what she looked like. If it wasn't for the man in front of him who resembled Qinghe's appearance, and that jade hairpin, he would have completely forgotten about that woman.

  After all, in Jing Huang's life, there were countless women, whether he liked them or not, or whether they were taken into the palace for political reasons. However, in his life, he had only truly loved one woman, and that was Empress Jing Xiao Ran, their mother.

  For Qinghe that woman, Xuan Huang only vaguely remembered, the woman who played a good guqin, was a clean official of the green building who sold art but not her body...

  Just as he was thinking about it, the ghost in front of him saw Jing Huan's eyes with a surprised expression, and his heart was like an overturned five-flavored bottle, with all kinds of flavors rushing to his head.

  "Ah, it was you who abandoned her first! Now you're putting on this shocking display, are you trying to win whose sympathy?!"

  The ghost spoke bluntly, and the people on the side heard their faces sink, but they were afraid of Han Xi's eyes in his arms, so they didn't dare to make a move.

  Moreover, after hearing Gui Mie and Xing Huan's conversation, Xing Xiao Ran and the others were all intelligent people, so they could naturally infer some clues from it.

  So they all stood quietly on one side and watched the development of things.

  While Jingying heard the ghost's blunt words, his mind's guess was even more certain, however, there were some things he still didn't quite understand.

  "What did you just say? Are you saying I abandoned Qinghe?! There's no such thing, have you misunderstood something?!"

  " Misunderstanding? What a misunderstanding! How could you, the emperor of the Tianxuan dynasty, still be so deceitful?! It was clearly your own fault for abandoning my mother for your own temporary pleasure. If you didn't want her, you should have been honest with her directly. Do you know how long she waited for you? She said you would come find her, so she kept waiting and waiting. Do you know how limited a woman's youth is?! My mother waited in vain, suffering greatly, until the day she died, still waiting for your appearance that never came! Do you know the despair in her eyes, the desperation in her heart when she passed away?!"

  The more he spoke, the more agitated and demonic his expression became.

  Before, he was good at collecting his emotions, no matter what happened, he always had a cold and icy expression, as if everything didn't matter to him.

  But now he has vented all his discontent and resentment, because he has been suppressing it for a long time, taking injustice for his mother, his mother is really suffering, so pitiful.

  If only he could, he really wanted to kill the man who had wronged his mother! If it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have died in despair, a young woman with a child, living a life of being pointed at and whispered about, sometimes having enough to eat and sometimes not, how miserable.

  And that man who came back to pick up his mother, after a moment of joy, disappeared, he broke his promise to his mother, he should die!

  Thinking of mother's slender figure in memory, with a sorrowful expression between her eyebrows.

  She always likes to stand at the door, like a waiting stone, standing for several hours, she is waiting, waiting for the man who promised her, will come to pick her up.

  Mother is really silly and infatuated, but the ghost knows that mother loves that man, so she's so silly...

  But looking at his mother's appearance, he felt heartache. Towards the man who had wronged his mother, he gradually became more and more dissatisfied and angry.

  Knowing of his mother's death, he knew about his own life story. Thinking that he was originally supposed to be a prince, but living a lower life than an animal, he hated even more.

  But the man who disappointed his mother is living a life of luxury, eating and drinking every day, surrounded by beauties. Does he still remember that there is a woman waiting for him foolishly?

  Thinking of this, Guimai felt even more resentful for his mother. The anger that had been suppressed for so long also burst out at this moment.

  A misty haze before my eyes, a sour nose, the ghostly figure still unaware, the tears in my eye sockets, like cut-off pearls, rolling down one by one.

  Then dripped onto Han Xi's face and body.

  Feeling the scorching heat on her cheeks, Han Xi's eyes slightly narrowed.

  Especially when she saw the ghost's heartbreaking and sorrowful appearance, her heart ached, and she really wanted to help him wipe away the tears on his face.

  On the other side, Jinghuang furrowed her brow upon hearing Guimai's words, and her heart also tightened.

  Because from this conversation with Gui Mie, he had already guessed that Gui Mie was his and Qing He's child.

  This child, who even he didn't know about, was originally a proud son of heaven, but ended up drifting among the common people, suffering many hardships.

  Although the ghost did not say much, Jing Huan also understood that in these years, Qing He and his family must have had a very hard time, which led to this child hating him and even wanting to kill him...

  Thinking of this, Xuan Huang's heart felt like it was being pressed down by a huge boulder, and she couldn't breathe.

  But there are some things he must figure out.

  If he was wrong, as the Emperor of the Tianxuan Dynasty, shouldn't he be able to admit his mistake?!

  But there must be something he doesn't know!

  "Child, listen to me, you may have misunderstood something. I admit that back then, I did promise to bring your mother back, but when I returned to the palace and sent people to look for her, she had already left. I looked for a long time, couldn't find her, and didn't know that at the time, your mother was already pregnant with you..."

  Xuan Huang spoke out the truth he knew.

  After all, he is an emperor and should take responsibility!

  He has countless women, is he still afraid of being unable to support one woman?!

  However, Gui Mei sneered coldly after hearing Xuan Huang's words.

  "You're still trying to deceive me!? What do you mean you can't find my mother!? Back then, my mother was always waiting for you somewhere, she never left. You're telling lies, thinking I'll believe them?"

  "This..."

  Hearing Gui Mei's words, Xuan Huang felt depressed and puzzled in her heart.

  But before he could say anything else, Li Dez suddenly knelt down with a "thud" from his original standing position.

  "Li Dezi, what are you kneeling for?"

  As for Li Dezi's sudden action, everyone was puzzled, and Xuan Huang asked out loud with a surprised face.

  After all, Li Dezhi is his most important slave and has been serving him for many years.

  In addition, when he was assassinated that year, Li Dezhi blocked in front of him with his body and saved his life. Although Li Dezhi did not die, both feet were seriously injured, so Xuan Huang specially let him not have to salute him.

  So now seeing Li Dezi suddenly kneel down, Jing Huan's heart was shocked, and his eyes flashed with astonishment.

  At this time, he finally noticed something unusual on Li Dezi's face!

  Li Dezhi's face was pale, with old tears flickering in his eyes, and a sorrowful expression, as if he was ashamed of something.

  "Your Majesty, it's this humble servant's fault... Your Majesty..."

  "What do you mean by this?!"

  Upon hearing Li Dezi's words, Xuan Huang was shocked, while Li Dezi himself had tears streaming down his face and explained with a sorrowful expression.

  "In those years, the Emperor was still a prince, and Old Buddha was still alive. Because Old Buddha feared that the Emperor would bring a courtesan into the palace, affecting his image in the eyes of the officials, he ordered me to give some money to get rid of Qinghe. Who knew that at that time, the Emperor encountered an assassination attempt, and I injured my legs. So, I let other servants deliver the money to Qinghe. That amount of money was enough for a woman to live a life of luxury without worrying about anything. Now it seems that I misjudged... those who didn't hand over the money to Qinghe, making her live such a hard life, and even affecting the Emperor's son, who ended up being exposed among the common people..."

  "So it was you, Li Dezi..."

  After hearing Li Dezi's words, Xuan Huang suddenly realized.

  At that time, when he was still the crown prince, although his father had intended to pass on the position of crown prince to him, however, he had not yet ascended to the throne, and several of his older brothers were eyeing the imperial throne covetously. Moreover, the officials were also divided into several factions, so he had to proceed with caution, after all, at that time, if he made even a slight mistake and was caught by others, then he would lose the throne...

  When Li Dezi's words were heard, not only was Jinghuang shocked, but even the ghostly apparitions were also astonished.

  Is this really the truth of the matter?

  His mother had waited for so many years, he had hated for so many years, could it be that the truth of the matter was actually like this!?!

  He really didn't abandon him and his mother?

  Although it has not been officially confirmed, the reason is that the ghost is willing to admit this fact.

  After all, with Tong'er by his side, he had come to a realization and no longer sought revenge. Hatred would only bring him suffering.

  Now, after everything has come to light, he knows that his father, who is related to him by blood, never abandoned him and his mother. This realization gives him a sense of relief.

  It's like finally lifting a huge stone that has been weighing on one's mind all along.

  Xiao Ran, who was originally standing by and listening in a daze, gradually learned the truth of the matter from their conversation, and was shocked.

  "What!?! Father Emperor, could it be that person is our... brother?! No way?!?"

  In response to her several sons' astonishment, Jing Huan only slowly nodded, but her gaze never left Gui Mie's face.

  After all, the man in front of her was her own son who had been drifting outside. Listening to his experience just now, Xuan Hua's heart felt guilty and ashamed.

  If he could have gone to pick Qinghe himself back then, perhaps things would have turned out differently.

  Although Qinghe is a courtesan, after getting along with her, I also know that she is a good girl.

  At that time, he actually had Xun Xiao Ran and their mother, Yu Ling. However, after bringing Yu Ling into the palace, her attitude towards him became increasingly cold.

  At that time, he didn't know that Yulian was because she loved him too much, but couldn't bear the fact that he had three palaces and six courtyards. So, they had a big fight. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and also didn't understand Yulian's thoughts. So, he went out in disguise to vent his anger, and it was also because of this time that he met Qinghe, who was excellent at playing the qin and sold her art but not her body.

  At that time, Qinghe was being teased by a group of rascals, he couldn't bear it and came to her rescue. Later, he was gradually attracted by Qinghe's good zither skills.

  The music she played was clear and transparent, like a crystal-clear spring water, as if it could wash away all his troubles.

  At that time, Qinghe didn't know his identity either. So, she also spoke freely to him.

  Moreover, she was gentle and considerate, which made her completely out of place in that brothel. The feeling he got from her was like a beautiful rose blooming in a filthy swamp, making him feel sorry for her.

  However, after a drunken incident, he promised Qinghe that he would take responsibility for her. At that time, it was an extremely opportune moment, and he was in a hurry to return to the palace, planning to have someone bring her into the palace later. Although she had a poor background, being appointed as a beauty was still possible!

  But little did he know, since that departure, it was actually his last meeting with Qinghe, how unpredictable life is...

  Thinking of the gentle woman in his impression, Xuan Huan felt even more guilty towards her, and by extension, he also blamed himself for the ghost.

  If possible, he really wants to make amends with Gui Mie...

  "Child, I'm sorry to you and your mother..."

  It's so rare and precious for an emperor to personally acknowledge his own mistakes!

  Actually, the resentment of ghosts and monsters has always been due to love!

  Although the ghost appears cold and ruthless on the surface, in fact, he understands love the most.

  What he cares most about is family affection. He loves his mother and feels that her experiences are undeserved, so he comes to resent his father.

  But now that the truth is out. Upon hearing Jing Huan's acknowledgment, this sentence was an acknowledgment of his existence. This was enough.

  At least, even if he were to die immediately now, he would have no regrets, only... it's just that he can't bear to part with him.

  However, fate loves to play tricks on people. When he finally understands love, he has to be separated from the person he cares about and likes. He is really reluctant, but there's nothing he can do...

  "Since you admit that you owe an apology to my mother, I like it. You can take responsibility for my mother, after all, she has been waiting for you her whole life..."

  In a hoarse voice, with an eerie gaze fixed tightly on Xuan Huang's body, his tone was no longer extreme.

  Xuan Huang heard Gui Mei's words and understood the meaning behind them.

  After watching for a moment, he nodded and seriously affirmed.

  "This is what should be done! Qinghe is a good woman and I have wronged her. I will definitely give her the formal status she deserves!"

  Upon hearing this, the ghost finally smiled with a hint of relief.

  Even if she had never enjoyed that title in her lifetime, but after death, she could give her the title, and under the nine springs, she should have closed her eyes! ?

  "That's good then..."

  The ghost let out a sigh of admiration, and finally, he withdrew his gaze, gently falling on the pale face of Han Xi in his arms.

  Because he calculated the time and it was almost an hour, he should also bid farewell to his beloved little woman in his arms.

  Although he was reluctant to part with it!

  "My dear, I love you, love you so much. Even if I can't get your heart in this life, in the next life, I will definitely find you. At that time, I will still love you, forever and ever, never changing!"

  In a low, husky and sensual voice, Gui Mei made an unshakeable promise to Han Xi Tong in front of everyone.

  Listening to Gui Mie's deep confession, and the gentle emotions in his eagle-like eyes, almost drowned Han Xi's pupils.

  At this moment, Han Xi's heart was deeply moved, and she felt a sour nose. Those tears were like a burst dam, rolling down her cheeks, finally merging with the ghostly tears on her face, indistinguishable from each other.

  Han Xi Tong wanted to say something, but felt as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, and after choking for a moment, she finally found her voice again. She turned around and shouted at Xuan Xiao Ran ten steps away.

  "Xiao Ran, think of a way! This killing array was set up by you, you must have a solution, right?!"

  Although she understood the killing array, and knew that this killing array was a modern landmine after careful deployment, she still held on to hope, because she didn't want to die a ghostly death, she didn't!

  While listening to Han Xi's words and looking at her crying pitifully with an agitated face, his heart tightened even more.

  Because he loves Tóng ér, seeing Tóng ér sad and crying, his heart is also aching.

  Especially when he found out that the ghost was actually his own half-brother, he felt even more unbearable in his heart.

  Because this killing array was set up by him, if the ghost is killed, it would be equivalent to him killing his own brother...

  However, despite this, he really had no way out of this killing array.

  Even if he could solve it, time was limited, especially now that an hour had almost passed. There were tens of thousands of bows and arrows set up around him, and even if he moved slightly, the other bows and arrows would fire uncontrollably. This was a linked array that was airtight and left no room for maneuver...

  "Sorry, Tong'er..."

  "It shouldn't be like this... It really shouldn't be like this... Apparitions..."

  As the time was approaching, everyone's face also showed a tense expression. Li Dezhi, who had been full of guilt, couldn't help but pull at Xinghuang's sleeve and remind him in a low voice.

  "Your Majesty, you should leave first..."

  After all, His Majesty is a body worth ten thousand gold, if there's even the slightest mistake, it would affect the entire Tianxuan Dynasty...

  "My son is in danger, how can I abandon him and leave?!"

  In response to Li Dezi's words, Xuan Huang's face sank and she said firmly.

  Upon hearing Xuan Huang's words, Gui Mei's eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat.

  Because of what Xuan Huang said...

  Let him be deeply moved...

  When he was young, when he encountered danger, when he was bullied, he often fantasized that there was a tall and wise father who would protect him. However, at that time, his father never appeared.

  Now, after waiting for so many years, he finally waited for his father's words, and he... had no regrets.

  "Father Emperor, you should leave first!"

  Jiang Yanglie was also persuading Jiang Huang by his side, but his heart had always been on Han Xuetong.

  Even Jing Tianqi, even in the cold winter months, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

  "No, no matter what, I cannot just watch my son die. Everyone listen up, we must protect him at all costs!"

  Even if there's a killing array, what can be done?! He has already wronged his son, this time, no matter how many methods he uses, he must rescue his son back, because he owes his son too much...

  "Yes, Your Majesty!"

  Upon hearing Xuan Huang's words, the crowd immediately responded in unison and promptly brought iron shields to prepare for battle.

  Han Xi Tong saw this and immediately turned her head to give Gui Mie a sly smile.

  "Don't worry, we'll be fine!"

  These words have a self-deceptive component, but no one has ever exposed them.

  Gui Mei lowered his head and took a deep look at Han Xi's eyes in his arms, asking the question he had always wanted to ask.

  "Little one, I want to ask you a question, will you answer me honestly?"

  "Really? You said."

  "Jing'er, did you ever like me, even just a little bit... just a little bit is fine..."

  Lowering his head and muttering to himself, Gui Mie's heart was now at the tip of his throat, his heartbeat accelerating, 'thumping thumping' rapidly, while Han Xi also felt it...

  "Ghost..."

  Han Xi's eyes sparkled as she opened her mouth, and crystal tears filled her cheeks. Under the lamp's illumination, they shone with a dazzling beauty, making her look even more lovely and touching, like a heavenly goddess. The sight made one's heart involuntarily well up with ripples.

  Han Xi Tong raised her head and looked at the handsome face in front of her, with a complex expression.

  Actually, at the beginning, she was unclear about what kind of feelings she had towards the man in front of her.

  At first, she always treated the man in front of her as Cheng Wei, taking him as Cheng Wei's substitute.

  Later, after experiencing his overbearing and tyrannical behavior, she began to dislike him. In the end, she finally realized that his overbearing and tyrannical behavior was actually a manifestation of his love for her, which was wholehearted and sincere, and his rare gentleness moved her deeply.

  She wasn't a heartless person, how could she not be moved by the man's kindness towards her?! Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes sparkled for a moment, and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, but her gaze swept across with a hint of determination. She said firmly.

  "Ghost, I like you!"

  As soon as Han Xi's words came out, Gui Mei's face was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth curled up, that smile, so joyful and radiant, just like the charming sunlight in March.

  And his heart, following Han Xi Tong's words, was excited and overjoyed. It made the whole person float up. In his mind, he kept echoing Han Xi Tong's words.

  She said she likes him, likes him! Hehe......

  Compared with the joy of ghostly possession, some people's hearts are heavy.

  Those people were naturally Xing Xiao Ran, Xing Tian Qi and Xing Yang Lie.

  After all, they were lucky to have Han Xi Tong. Now that they've heard from Han Xi Tong's own mouth that she likes another man, can their hearts feel at ease?!

  However, now they are holding their breath in their hearts and cannot do anything. Moreover, as they watch the hour approaching, their hearts are also tied up, and the ghosts are no exception.

  But now, he heard Han Xi Dong's words, even if he died, he would have no regrets.

  "My dear, I love you too, so much, so much..."

  The words fell, and Gui Mei slightly lowered her head. In front of everyone, she gently kissed Han Xi Tong's forehead.

  His kiss was just a fleeting touch, without any depth, but with his kiss, Han Xi's heart seemed to sense something, and the word "no" was about to come out, however, Gui Mei had already taken a step ahead of her, pressed her acupoint, then lifted her head and looked towards Xuan Xiao Ran and the other two people opposite them.

  "Take care of Xiaotong, and cherish her well..."

  If he can't continue loving you, he also hopes someone else will replace him to protect and love you well...

  "I definitely will!"

  Upon hearing Gui Mei's words, Xing Xiao Ran and the other two people spoke in unison.

  Upon hearing this, the ghost took a deep breath and threw Han Xi, who was unable to move after being acupunctured, towards Xun Shuang and others.

  Watching Han Xi's small figure being thrown out in a beautiful arc, Xun Xiao Ran and the others jumped up with their toes, and they all caught Han Xi together.

  At the same time, when Gui Mie threw out Han Xi Tong, he also triggered a mechanism under his feet. The countless bows and arrows set up around him shot towards Gui Mie's body with lightning speed!

  That sharp arrow is like an invisible net, wrapping the ghost tightly, even if it's the seventy-two changes of Sun Wukong, it's hard to escape.

  However, because they just heard Xuan Huang's order, when the killing array was activated, those guards immediately took up their iron shields and rushed into the killing array. As imperial dead soldiers, as long as the master gave an order, even if they knew it was certain death, they had to complete the master's command!

  So, also because of these dead warriors, they blocked many sharp arrows for Gui Mie, and Gui Mie also took out his long sword to block the continuous incoming sharp arrows at the same time.

  Because even if he knows it's futile, he still wants to give it a try, because the people he cares about don't want him to die, and neither does he...

  Han Xi's eyes, which had been caught by Xing Yan, although his body was sealed with acupoints, but looking at Gui Mei being surrounded by sharp arrows, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

  Although the ghost's martial arts were strong and had reached a state of perfection, his two hands could not withstand four fists, let alone these myriad arrows...

  So, the ghost only took care of its front, but couldn't take care of its back. As it watched those sharp arrows shoot towards its back, Han Xi's eyes widened suddenly.

  "No"
