When Hongjun returned to the inn room, she heard someone knocking on her door.
She looked slightly sideways, raised her jade hand, and the door opened automatically.
The person outside the door is none other than Nangong Yi.
Hongjuan knew that this young man followed her all the way to the inn. She didn't want to hide her whereabouts, but she didn't want to be too annoying.
However, she didn't pay any attention to the person who was monitoring and following her.
Because, based on her level of cultivation, she had already noticed that this young man had no cultivation at all. She was just curious about the other party's true identity.
"Hello, girl, I'm sorry for disturbing you!"
Nangong Yi politely clasped his fists and spoke to Hong Juan. He did not step into Hong Juan's room without permission.
"Well, please come in!"
Hong Juan suddenly seemed very gentle and easy-going, completely without the murderous aura that could not be hidden in her body just now when she was among the crowd.
The reason why she "brought him" here was to know the identity of this young man. As for why he was following her or what he wanted to do, Hongjuan had no interest in knowing.
"The girl seems to be related to the current queen?"
Nangong also said straight to the point.
Although he was asking tentatively, it was also a hint to see if Hong Juan would be alert, so that he could easily draw conclusions about his own judgment.
He is very good at observing people's emotions, especially someone like Hong Juan, who at first glance looks like an ignorant girl who has not experienced much in the world.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Hong Juan frowned and asked.
"It doesn't matter who you are. What's important is, are you going to risk the disapproval of the world and commit an assassination?"
Nangong Yi's words were a further test of Hong Juan. His intuition told him that this beautiful girl came to Kyoto with a heart of revenge.
Nangong Yi carefully captured the resentment and anger that flashed from time to time in her exquisite beautiful eyes, even though she tried her best to hide it.
However, all the conjectures and plans in Nangong Yi's mind were completely unnecessary in Hong Juan's opinion.
Because Hong Juan didn't have so much thoughts to think about this. She didn't care at all. She just wanted to know who this young man with royal blood was.
Seeing that he refused to reveal his true identity and had no patience to waste words with him, Hongjuan turned her back on her delicate body and said coldly.
"Since you don't want to reveal your identity, then don't interfere with my business. To tell you the truth, you won't be able to stop me if I kill anyone. Please come back!"
Nangong also saw that Hong Juan was so determined and did not expect to be able to persuade her again. Besides, since the other party dared to come to the capital of South Vietnam alone to seek revenge, she must not be an ordinary weak woman. If she became angry and wanted to do something to him, then he would not do it. With the power of self-preservation, he turned around and left.
Nangong also came to meet Hong Juan. Although Hong Juan did not say it clearly, Nangong also believed that it was very possible that the target of this girl's assassination was the country's leader Nangong Shuo.
Nangong also knew that fifteen years ago, his father was forced to kill by Nangong Shuo. This time, if he expected correctly, this girl was going to assassinate Nangong Shuo, which would be a revenge for him. He should be happy, but , but he was unwilling in his heart, because if this thing really happened, the South Vietnam Empire would fall into chaos again, and the people of Li would suffer. This was a result he did not want to see.
In the end, he chose to write a letter to his aunt Lin Xuan in advance amid deep entanglements and contradictions in his thoughts.
Yes, this is his choice!
...
That night!
The full moon hung high, and there was silence and peace in the palace.
Among the magnificent attics and graceful pavilions in the palace, Hong Juan walked lightly. After a while, she found the palace where Lin Xuan was.
Hongwen just wanted to secretly see her biological mother before killing Nangong Shuo, because after she killed Nangong Shuo, she might never be able to see her mother calm again.
However, as soon as Hongwen approached the window of Lin Xuan's bedroom, she realized that there were two people in the room.
Hong Juan stared sideways.
Nangong Shuo and Lin Xuan were seen facing the window. Nangong Shuo hugged Lin Xuan from behind. The two looked intimate and in love. They did not look like a couple who had lived together for many years, but rather like a newlyweds. The love between gods and goddesses is extraordinary.
All these scenes were seen by Hong Juan, and then she frowned slightly, feeling resentment in her heart.
Then she thought back to her father Nangong Zhen, who had been killed fifteen years ago, and then looked at the intimate gestures between the two in front of her. Hong Juan suddenly became angry, gave a sweet shout, broke through the window with a sword, and stabbed Nangong Shuo's vest.
However, in an instant, Lin Xuan suddenly looked back, immediately protected Nangong Shuo behind her, and shouted to stop.
"婈儿, no!"
However, because Hong Juan was full of anger and acted decisively, the Colorful Sky Phoenix True Fire had already rushed towards Nangong Shuo with sword light.
However, Hong Juan did not expect that at this critical moment, Lin Xuan would use her body to cover Nangong Shuo, and Hong Juan stopped in a hurry.
A flaming sword energy penetrated directly through Lin Xuan's left shoulder, and then both of them were knocked back several feet away by the flames and fell to the ground.
Hong Juan discovered that she accidentally injured her mother Lin Xuan, and hurriedly jumped forward, helped Lin Xuan up to check the injury, and quickly gave her a Qing Yuan Pill, and then immediately mobilized her mysterious power to heal Lin Xuan's injuries.
Nangong Shuo on the side stood up from the ground with difficulty. He was also shocked when he saw Hongwen. When Hongwen and Lin Xuan were together, the two looked very similar. If Lin Xuan hadn't told him about Hongwen in advance, When the meeting comes, he can't believe that Hong Juan has grown so big.
However, when he was about to speak, he was glared at by Hong Juan and shouted.
"you shut up!"
He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only stay in place.
At this time, Lin Xuan slowly woke up, she slowly opened her eyes, and Hong Juan immediately leaned her mother against her chest.
Lin Xuan raised her blood-stained right hand with difficulty and gently touched Hongwen's beautiful cheek. She had been waiting for fifteen years and finally saw her daughter. Her heart was filled with incomparable joy and she trembled. Said to Hong Juan.
"Juan'er, you are finally back. My mother misses you so much."
"But, mother, why are you protecting this murderer!"
Hongjuan was very puzzled, but asked with a distressed look on her face.
"Juan'er, don't talk to your father like this!"
Lin Xuan said with some reluctance. Hong Juan's sword just now hurt Lin Xuan so much that it was difficult for her to even speak at this time.
"Mom, why on earth are you doing this! My kid doesn't understand."
Seeing Lin Xuan's painful yet joyful expression, Hongjuan felt very uncomfortable. Her mother missed and loved her so much, but she acted recklessly and hurt her mother like this. She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and tears filled her eyes. Spin in the middle.
Lin Xuan recovered slightly, put down her arms, and sighed softly.
"Jinger, you don't know that my mother has been with King Jin and Prince Ning since she was a child, and we have a very good relationship with each other. However, as we grow up, King Ning is more interested in power and the position of the head of the country, and my mother is I hope that my future life can be ordinary. King Jin is gentle and kind-hearted, so my mother is more attracted to him. He also regards her as the love of his life. We are in love with each other and we are consensual. At that time, we were really carefree. consider."
Although Lin Xuan was severely injured and dying, there was still a glimmer of light in her eyes. Perhaps, that was the only truly happy and carefree time in her life.
"Then if that's the case, why did you marry my father?!"
Lin Xuan sighed slightly, her body trembling slightly, and Hong Juan unconsciously hugged Lin Xuan tightly.
"Jinger, my mother has no way to choose the life she wants, nor can she choose the person she loves. If she could, my mother would like to live in an ordinary family, so that she would not be affected by all kinds of things. Being at the mercy of all kinds of things that cannot be controlled, there will not be so much helplessness and misery.”
At this point, how could Hong Juan still not understand her mother's situation back then.
After their father succeeded to the throne, the Lin family was forced by the power of the country to send their mother to the palace. They never considered her mother's feelings. They just regarded her as a tool and gave her to the king to maintain the clan. Given their powerful position in the South Vietnamese Empire, perhaps they had to do this as a last resort...
However, no matter what, the father is the father after all. He was killed. As a biological daughter, it is only natural to avenge his father!
Immediately, Hong Juan turned her gaze to Nangong Shuo, her eyes filled with cold, murderous intent.
"Hongjuan, you can't kill the king!"
Lin Xuan noticed the killing intent in Hong Juan's eyes and hurriedly stopped her.
"But he killed my father! As a daughter, how can I not avenge my father?"
Hong Juan asked in confusion. She felt very painful when she saw her mother defending the murderer of her father. However, her hand still held the sword tightly.
She lowered her head and stared into her mother's eyes and asked in a cold tone.
"Mother, haven't you ever felt a little guilty about your father?"
"I...but he is..."
"What's wrong with him? Just because he is loved by my mother, should my father die?!"
"No! Because he is your biological father!"
Lin Xuan tried her best and finally said these words that had caused her so much pain. Although she had loved Nangong Shuo from beginning to end, as Hong Jing said, her guilt towards Nangong Zhen was something she could never bear in her life. Make up for it.
Hongjuan was shocked when she suddenly heard Lin Xuan say these words. She sat there blankly, at a loss for a moment.
She came to avenge her father and almost killed her real father. This was too hard for her to accept!
It turns out that Nangong Zhen is not his father, but the enemy he thought killed his father is actually his father!
Hongjuan's thoughts were a little messy. It was really difficult for her to accept all these things at once.
However, Lin Xuan's next words instantly plunged her into endless despair!
