Chapter 253: Old Ginger Is Still the Hottest

s blood-red eyes flickered with a sinister glint. He uttered again in a low voice, "Should this king represent Beiling and send some princesses over to form a closer bond That way, it would also promo..."Father, is this your true words Since you despise me so much, why crown me as the Prince Why even give birth to me" Shangguan Jinghong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of a valley.

From a young age, he treated himself with extreme coldness. He always thought it was just because of his indifference, that he was like this to every son, but who would have thought he didn't have a shred of affection for himself!

For so many years, his expectations for paternal love have been a joke!

He did not regard himself as a father, let alone have paternal love.

"You ask me why Then tell me, why are you not my son But that man's son! Why! You deceived me so bitterly!" Shangguan Jianren pointed at him, furious. In his sinister eyes, there was pain and hatred, looking through him at another person rather than angrily shouting at him.

As soon as these words were uttered, both Shangguan Jinghong and Su Qingying were taken aback. Especially Shangguan Jinghong, who seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning in his heart, causing him to feel dizzy.

After a long pause, he finally found his voice and said in a low tone: "You mean I'm not your biological son What do you mean by that"

“Want to know Too bad you’ll never have the chance! I will never tell you the truth!” Seeing the look on his face, Shangguan Jian felt an unspeakable sense of satisfaction, mixed with a vengeful malice.

"Alright, Luo Li is being verbose. Emperor Beiling, now that I've broken your formation and your greatest reliance is gone, hand over the antidote to Qian Ju San. Perhaps I can grant you a swift death. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Before Shangguan Jing Hong could lose control of his emotions, Su Qingying immediately coldly interrupted their conversation. She raised her five fingers, and several silver needles between them pointed menacingly at him.

Glancing at the chilling silver needle in her hand, Shangguan Jianren chuckled nonchalantly, a hint of mockery dancing on his lips. "Su Qingying, I have to admit, you're quite skilled. Unfortunately, compared to me, you're still too green! You think I don't have any more tricks up my sleeve Hmph, experience always trumps youth!"

Glaring at the mocking smile playing on his lips, Su Qingying hadn't had time to process it before her heart skipped a beat, a wave of ominous premonition rising uncontrollably from within.

"No! Shangguan Saobao, get out of here quickly!" Almost without thinking, Su Qingying instinctively grabbed the shocked Shangguan Jinghong and jumped back.

"Leave Can you even leave Heaven has a path, but you won't take it, and Hell has no gate yet you barge in!" Once again astonished by Su Qingying's sharpness, Shangguan Jianren seized the opportunity to kick a nearby artificial mountain with his foot.

Boom—

Su Qingying and Shangguan Jinghong hadn't even had time to leave when the ground beneath their feet suddenly vanished. The two of them instantly felt weightless as they plummeted downwards.

"Ying'er—" Jun Liye arrived just in time to see them fall into the trap.

"Alì!" The moment Su Qingying fell into the trap, she saw that figure in white, breathtakingly handsome, charging towards them recklessly. She cried out in alarm, "Don't come over! Run away!"

"Jun Liye! You're actually still alive" Shangguan Jianren saw Jun Liye, his eyes suddenly narrowed, however before he could make a move, Jun Liye jumped into the trap along with him, "Ying'er, don't be afraid, I'll come save you!"

Looking at the automatically closing ground, which instantly returned to its original state, Shangguan Jianren almost couldn't control the joy in his heart. He laughed twice and said with a cold gaze, "Jun Liye, Jun Liye, this time you walked right in yourself. You can't blame me!"

Stepping quickly out of the garden and back into his bedchamber, Shangguan Jianren immediately summoned the Commander of the Imperial Guard. Sitting at his desk, he wrote furiously without looking up, "Immediately bring men to raid the Prince Regent's Palace! Dig three feet under if you have to, find all his tiger talismans for me!"

"Yes, your subordinate understands." The Imperial Guard Commander didn't suspect anything amiss. He received the imperial decree and quickly retreated.

Just as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army had just left, Shangguan Jianren finally put down his calligraphy brush. After stuffing several densely written letters into an envelope, he called over his trusted eunuch again. "Xiao Miaozi, immediately send this imperial decree to Emperor Ximing by expedited means, covering eight hundred li."

"Yes, my master," said Xiaomiaozi, taking the envelope from his hand. Though she had many doubts in her heart, she dared not show them, nor speak more than necessary. She silently retreated.

"Humph, this world has been too peaceful for too long. It's time to stir up some waves. This world's order needs to change." Suddenly, bursts of laughter echoed through the sleeping quarters as Shangguan Jianren spoke.

He was born a warrior, hating the peace of the current world and longing for a good battle. Unfortunately, Jun Liye always opposed him. Not only did she hold back more than half of Bei Ling's court officials, but she also controlled millions of soldiers, leaving him with no time to attack other countries.

Now that Jun Liye is trapped, he's about to die. Even the renowned Palace Master of Luoyue Palace has become his captive. He wants to see who else in the world can stop him!

He took over the world of these four countries!

……

Several guards rushed into Xuan Yuan Rongfei's room, their faces unusually grave. "Miss Xuan Yuan, there's trouble! The emperor has sent people to raid the manor. Please come with us to the secret chamber for safety."

"The Northern Imperial Clan raided my home Then where is my master and his master What about Jing Hong, where did they go Didn't something happen to them" A wave of dizziness washed over Xuanyuan Rongfei, her face turning pale as she almost fainted. The blood drained from her features, leaving only a frighteningly white pallor.

"My subordinates didn't know, Miss Xuan Yuan, the Emperor's people are coming. It's not suitable to stay here for long. Please leave with my subordinates." Before Jun Li left, he gave them a death order to ensure her safety at the first time and absolutely could not let her be harmed in the slightest. As his dark guards, they had to complete his order.

"Alright, you wait here. I'll go get Master's ancient moonqin." Remembering Jun Li Ye's instructions, Xuen Yuan Rong Fei knew this wasn't a time for her to be willful. Wiping away her tears, she hurriedly hugged the ancient moonqin Su Qing Ying had left behind. "That's it, let's go."

This ancient Yueqin belongs to the master, no one can take it away. Before she returns safely, she must take good care of it for the master! She will never allow it to fall into the hands of villains.

……

"Ying'er, are you alright" Not knowing how long she had been unconscious in Shangguan Jianren's trap, Jun Li's first words upon waking were to inquire about Su Qingying's well-being.

The pit was deep, and faint echoes lingered in the air between his words.

"I'm fine, where's Shangguan Saobao" As she fell, she just happened to hit her shoulder, and Su Qingying couldn't help but gasp in pain. She gritted her teeth, groped her way up, and slowly moved towards the direction of Jun Liye's voice.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shangguan Jinghong replied with a slight cough.

She slowly moved closer to Jun Liye's side. As Su Qingying's soft, boneless hand touched Jun Liye's face, he suddenly pulled her over with force, tightly, tightly embracing her in his arms.

Jun Liye's heart beat violently until he felt the warmth of the person in his arms. Only then did his empty heart feel a sense of satisfaction. just saw this scene, and I feel a little homesick for my older brother.""Thinking about Xuanyuan Luocheng What do you want to know about him Do you want him to catch you back Just a friendly reminde...
