Wei Xiuyan said with a sarcastic face: "You know very well why I ran away. As for worrying, hey, you are just worried that your twelfth brother will die!"
Hongli's expression changed, and he waved his hand to signal the surprised soldiers to retreat. Only Yu Zhaohui and a few others were present, "What did Fan Jin say to you?"
"Everything that needs to be said has been said." Wei Xiuyan said with a look of grief and anger: "Hongli, I really didn't expect you to be so cruel that you would even kill your own son!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I have never wanted to hurt Yongyan. Besides, I promised that Yongyan would stay with you in Guangxiu Garden. How can I break my promise?"
Wei Xiuyan sneered: "Do you think I will still believe you at this time? You have never liked me at all. The reason why you spared me the death penalty and accepted me in Guangxiu Garden is for Yongyan. You have to use He came to exchange for the life of the twelfth brother. But..." She looked down at the sleeping child in her arms and said tremblingly: "He is also your son, how can you be so cruel? Also, have you ever thought about it? , how sad and hurt Yongyan would be if he knew that the person who wanted to kill him was actually his biological father..."
"That's enough!" Hongli interrupted her sternly and slowly stretched out his hand: "You are already surrounded here and it is impossible to escape. If you give Yongyan to me, I will spare you a life." life."
When Wei Xiuyan heard this, she shrank, hugged Yongyan tightly and said, "Even if I die, I will not give Yongyan to you!"
"You!" Hongli laughed angrily, "Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"Of course you will. There is nothing you can't do for that mother and son." As she said this, she chuckled again, and said with bottomless longing and sadness: "As early as Sixth Brother When he left, I should have gone with him, so that nothing like what happened today would have happened."
She once thought that Hongli treated her sincerely, but reality gave her a severe blow. In this world, there was always... only Yongrong who treated her sincerely and treated her well without reservation!
When Wei Xiuyan mentioned Yong Rong, a trace of sadness arose in Hongli's heart, but he suppressed it immediately and said again: "Give Yong Rong to me!"
Facing his cold gaze, Wei Xiuyan slowly shook her head, "I know I can't escape today, but I will never let Yongyan become a tool in your hands, let alone let him die on behalf of others!"
Her words frightened Hongli, "What are you going to do?"
Wei Xiuyan ignored him, looked down at Yongyan's cute pink face, and murmured: "Yongyan, don't blame mother, mother can't help it, but don't worry, mother will be by your side, always... always I will accompany you and I will never leave you alone!"
Under Hong Li's horrified gaze, her hand on Yong Yan's neck suddenly tightened. Yong Yan was frightened and suddenly woke up. His little face was red from being pinched, and he could only move his little limbs desperately.
"Looking for death!" Seeing that Wei Xiuyan really wanted to kill Yongyan, Hongli took three steps at a time and quickly came to Wei Xiuyan. Wei Xiuyan pinched her so hard that he couldn't break it open for a while, but he didn't dare to pull Yongyan rashly. He could only pinch Wei Xiuyan's neck and shouted: "Let go of Yongyan, or I will kill you now!"
Wei Xiuyan seemed not to feel the pain in her neck, and just looked at Yongyan. Yongyan was just a baby that was only half a month old. Her face quickly turned from red to purple, and her struggle gradually weakened. One more moment of pinching could kill him.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Hongli immediately stopped and before Zhaohui could react, he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and cut off Wei Xiuyan's wrist amidst Xiao Wu's exclamations.
Just when the steel was only an inch away from Wei Xiuyan's wrist, Wei Xiuyan let go of her hand, then hugged Yongyan and cried bitterly.
There were shocking fingerprints on Yongyan's white and tender neck. He opened his small nose and mouth, tried hard to take a few breaths, and finally burst into tears with a loud "wow". Hearing his cry, Wei Xiuyan cried more and more sadly.
.
Wei Xiuyan hugged Yongyan very tightly. Hongli was afraid of hurting Yongyan, so he never fought for it, nor did he let go of the steel knife in his hand. If Wei Xiuyan made any move again, the knife would kill her without hesitation.
Xianyue, who had been silent until now, slowly walked up to Wei Xiuyan and said softly: "I know that you let go just now, not because you were afraid that the emperor would cut off your hand, but because you simply couldn't bear to kill Yongyan."
This voice made Wei Xiuyan stop crying and slowly raised her head. She was confused at first, but after she recognized Xianyue, she immediately turned into endless hatred. She pointed at Xianyue and said loudly: "It's you! It's because of you."
Mother and son, the emperor wants to kill my child, Nala Xianyue, you have killed so many people, why don't you die!"
"Unbridled!" Hongli slapped Wei Xiuyan hard on the face, and while she was dazed, he quickly snatched Yongyan from her arms. By the time she reacted, it was too late, and she desperately tried to snatch it back.
Yongyan, but Hongli
She was a martial arts practitioner, and with the obstruction of Zhao Hui and Xiao Wu, how could she possibly snatch the child away? She couldn't even get close. Seeing Hong Li about to leave, she hurriedly knelt down and cried: "I beg you to let go."
Pass him, please!”
Hongli ignored her and just looked at Yongyan who was crying in his arms silently. This was the first time he held Yongyan. Her small body was as soft as wicker. He remembered... Yongyan was like this when he was born.
.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to let my concubine hug him?" Facing Xiayue's request, Hongli nodded and handed the child to her. I wonder if it was destined. As soon as he was in Xiayue's arms, Yongyan stopped crying.
He stared at Xianyue for a while with his dark eyes open, then suddenly opened his toothless mouth and smiled.
Xianyue stroked Yongyan's black hair and looked up at Wei Xiuyan, "You didn't want Yongyan to be reduced to a tool to complete Yongxun's destiny, so you wanted to kill him, but in the end, you couldn't bear it."
Wei Xiuyan stared at her hands and said sadly: "I'm really useless. If I hadn't let go just now, now... everything would be over."
Xianyue said calmly: "Fortunately you didn't do this. Some people say that children killed by their parents will always wander between the yin and yang realms. Even if a high monk saves him, he will not be reincarnated."
Wei Xiuyan looked sadly at the infant Yongyan and murmured: "But he can't get rid of this fate after all!"
The next moment, she stared at Xianyue and Hongli, and suddenly laughed, but her eyes were full of cold hatred, "I swear, after I die, I will turn into a ghost to kill you!"
Xianyue said nothing, but looked at Hongli and said, "Is the emperor interested in knowing what I have been doing these days?"
