"The Emperor has been hit by an arrow, there is an assassin!" Everyone was shocked and stepped forward to support the Moon-Chasing Emperor. Suddenly, the paddock was in chaos.
Hitomi Zhuye, who was hunting on horseback, turned around when he heard this and saw an arrow stuck near his father's chest.
Liusu was also shocked. She turned her head suddenly, and a chill suddenly rose up her back. Could it be...
Is it him? Has he finally taken action?
Her fingers clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
"Father...Father..."
"emperor……"
"Here come, call the imperial doctor quickly..."
Zhuye Hitomi's eyes as sharp as a cheetah flashed sharply, and suddenly a black shadow flashed past. He decisively raised his bow and arrow, and with a swish sound, he shot suddenly -
Four arrows were shot out in unison.
"Ah..." Only a shrill wail was heard, and Zhuye's pupil hit the thigh of the masked man in black, causing him to fall from a hidden place in the paddock.
"Take him back and interrogate him severely!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yetong gave the order, and the Royal Forest Army immediately stepped forward to capture the assassin.

In Emperor Zhuyue's palace, the imperial doctors were as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were trembling with fear. They surrounded the dragon and prepared to pull out arrows for him.
The princes, princesses, queens, and concubines were kneeling outside the palace, waiting for news about Zhuyue Emperor.
"Liu Su, don't worry too much. Father Ji Ren has his own destiny and everything will be fine." Zhuye Hitomi, who was kneeling next to Liu Su, noticed that she was particularly uneasy and comforted her in a low voice.
But Liusu didn't seem to hear his voice and didn't react at all.
"Lisu... Liusu..." Zhuye Hitomi reached out and pulled her arm.
"Ah? What...what happened?" Liusu finally realized and turned to look at her
"What's wrong? You didn't hear me calling you so many times."
"I...I'm fine. I was just wondering who assassinated my father."
"The assassin has been caught. I have sent a message to my elder brother. He will come at full speed and things will come to light! I will definitely kill the mastermind behind the scenes with a thousand cuts!" Hitomi Zhuye dropped his fist to the ground.
said.
After a while, Li Dequan, the eunuch beside the emperor, came out.
"Eunuch Li, how is the emperor?"
"Eunuch Li, how is your father's health?"
Li Dequan said——
"The emperor has decreed that Princess Liusu will appear in court. The rest of the people are waiting outside the palace. No one is allowed to enter without the emperor's permission."
As soon as Li Dequan finished speaking, everyone lying on the ground looked puzzled. How could the emperor tell her that she, the newly recognized adopted daughter, was the first one to go in?
"Princess, please come here."
"Go, don't be afraid." Zhu Yetong held her hand and said.
"Yes." Liusu nodded, stood up and followed Li Dequan in, with a group of resentful eyes following her behind her.
She walked all the way to Zhuyue Emperor's dragon cave, only to see that Zhuyue Emperor's face was pale, his dragon robe was soaked in blood, and an arrow was inserted half an inch away from his heart -
She held the Moon Chaser Emperor's hand with trembling hands and said -
"Father, I'm here, do you feel better..."
When Emperor Zhuyue heard Liusu's voice, he opened his eyes weakly, and a smile appeared on his lips with difficulty. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said——
"Xiao Qi, you... you're here..." His voice revealed fatigue and weakness.
"Father, I'm here, what do you want to say? I listen." Although her spirit has nothing to do with the emperor in front of her, but perhaps through the relationship with this body, she also feels infinite sadness and
Heartache.
"Xiao Qi, my father... I'm sorry for you, I have caused you to suffer too much. You are classified as a princess, but you have been living in exile for more than 20 years, which has caused you so much suffering."
"Father, you don't have to feel guilty. I have been living a good life among the people. I also have Qiluo, and now, haven't I come back?" Liusu comforted Zhuyue Emperor.
Zhuyue Emperor shook his head and continued -
"That's not the case. Xiao Qi..." Zhuyue Emperor raised his hand with difficulty and stroked Liusu's face, "Actually, you were not lost by the palace maid, you were abandoned by me and the queen, thief
They kidnapped me at that time, and they made a condition that as long as you were handed over to them as an infant, they would let me go. At that time, I listened to the queen's suggestion and really handed you over. I was the only one who could do this.
The two queens know that I let the palace maids and eunuchs who I knew about at the beginning leave the palace. My life was exchanged for your life! Over the years, every time I think about this matter, I feel extremely guilty.
I can't sleep at night. Xiao Qi, my father is really sorry for you."
"Father..." Liusu felt terrified after hearing this. Is it true that everyone who can sit on the throne of the emperor stepped on the bones of others? Even the flesh and blood of their closest relatives will not be spared.
Aren’t you going to follow this path now?
"Xiao Qi, I'm sorry for you, I... no matter how I make up for it, I can't undo the sin of abandoning you. I don't expect to be forgiven by you. However, I have something to ask you, and I'm afraid of pulling out this arrow.
If I come down, I... I won't be able to survive. I've thought about it... you are the only most reliable person. You are smart, kind, and knowledgeable. You... you help my father."
"Father, what is going on?" Liusu took a deep breath and asked.
"Actually, Little Thirteen is not my biological son." Zhuyue Emperor said.
"What!?" Liusu was shocked when he heard that Zhuye Hitomi was not the emperor's biological son?! She couldn't believe her ears, "Brother Thirteen, he...does he know it himself?"
"He doesn't know, and the Queen also thinks that I don't know. Thirteen's rare pair of red and phoenix eyes, one can tell at a glance that he looks very different from me. Not only his beautiful pair of red and phoenix eyes, but his personality is also similar to that of the royal family.
It's different. He has something in him that we don't have. He is magnanimous, straightforward, and kind. Perhaps because of this, I have particularly liked him since he was a child.
I know who is sincere to me and who is false to me. I have so many sons, but he is the only one who is not my biological son. He is the best and most sincere to me. His kindness to me has no purpose.
.
Therefore, when I knew the truth that he was not my biological son, even though I was filled with hatred, I wanted to cut those people who deceived me with a thousand knives. However, when I saw Thirteen, I could not be so ruthless.
"
Liusu was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't understand Zhuyue Emperor anymore -
"You can tolerate Brother Thirteen, who is not your biological son, but why do you have to...continuously attack Brother Four?"
"Ha...Xiao Qi, I tell you the truth, the woman I love most in my life is you and Ruan Jinse, the concubine of the fourth child, but she betrayed me, she actually eloped with my subordinates, and I saw it with my own eyes
Their ugliness! The fourth child clearly knew that his mother-in-law had betrayed his father. Not only did he hide it from me, but he also helped her mother-in-law and that damn beast...elope! I feel heartbroken every time I think about it, so I don't want to see it.
When I see him, I think of your mother and concubine’s betrayal; when I see him, I think of his betrayal to me!”
"But... maybe there is some misunderstanding in this, Father... I think you should stop forcing the fourth brother. Since you can accept the thirteenth brother, please also accept the fourth brother..."
"You... don't say any more. In short, you have to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must help Shisan get through the difficulties. When he was young, I took him on a tour incognito. A charlatan once said, Shisan
Life is full of misfortunes..."
"Father, all charlatans and magicians are cheating money. Don't believe that Thirteenth Brother is aboveboard and honest. God will protect him."
"You...you promise me, you promise me...ahem..." Moon Chaser Emperor said, his breathing suddenly became rapid and his face became even paler.
"Okay, I understand, I promise you, father."
"You...you swear..." Zhuyue Emperor held her hand tightly.
"Okay, I swear..." Liusu raised his right hand, facing the light, and said, "There is a god three feet above my head. I, Liusu, promise my father that if my thirteenth brother Zhuye Tong encounters a disaster in this life, no matter what happens,
, I will definitely try my best to help him get through this difficult time."
Emperor Zhuyue breathed a sigh of relief, with a tired smile on his face, "Okay, I'm going to let the doctors pull out the arrows, you... you go out!"
Liusu nodded and stood up——
"Yes, Father, Liusu excuses himself."
He walked out of Zhuyue Emperor's palace full of thoughts.
"Lisu, how is your father?" As soon as she walked out, Zhuye Hitomi came over and asked worriedly.
Liusu raised his eyes and looked at him. He was really handsome and handsome, but as Zhuyue Emperor said, his appearance and personality did not look like a member of the royal family. What would happen if he knew his life experience?
