Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "What is my origin? I am just a very ordinary poor boy. I used to live in the mountains and forests. Later, I heard people around me say that the outside world is very wonderful. Driven by curiosity, I
I just came out to take a look, but I met you just a few days after I came out." Ma Xiaoyao's words can be regarded as half-truths, and his secrets from other planets must not be exposed.
"Is it that simple?" Miss Xiaojiu tilted her head and looked at Ma Xiaoyao.
"Ah." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It's that simple."
"I always feel... you're not telling the truth." Miss Xiao Jiu pouted her rosy mouth.
Ma Xiaoyao was shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "How do you know I didn't tell the truth?"
"It depends on your feeling." Miss Xiaojiu said, "Women's senses are always very sensitive."
"Sensitive sensitivity is not a good thing." Ma Xiaoyao said angrily: "It is easy for you to make wrong judgments, like me. What I tell is obviously the truth, but you don't believe it."
"I just said it casually to make you anxious."
"Who is in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry!"
"Okay, okay, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry."
"...Where to go next?"
"Of course we are going to the imperial city. When I see my father, I will tell him about your sacrifice to save me and let him reward you well."
"I just want gold mines."
"Don't worry, the gold mine will definitely give it to you."
…
Three days later.
The two arrived at the imperial city, the capital of the Qinglong Dynasty. After settling Ma Xiaoyao, Miss Jiu hurried into the palace to see her father.
About two hours later, a eunuch came to announce the edict, which probably meant praising Ma Xiaoyao for his bravery and meritorious service in saving the Ninth Princess. He was specially rewarded with ten large gold mines. After receiving the edict, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly became in a very good mood.
After waiting for so many days, we finally saw the light.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Ma Xiaoyao saw ten gold mines of his own. These ten gold mines were very close to each other and each gold mine was large in scale. Ma Xiaoyao conservatively estimated that if these gold mines were combined
If all the gold is dug out, he will not be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes.
After the eunuch left, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't wait to visit the ten gold mines. This was the first time he saw a gold mine in his life. The golden light all around made Ma Xiaoyao's eyes numb.
"With these gold mines, we don't have to worry about cultivation anymore." Ma Xiaoyao chuckled.
It was sooner rather than later and he started practicing now. He sealed the entrance to the gold mine, then sat cross-legged on the gold, called out the mysterious beads, and began to absorb the rich metallic energy around him.
…
Royal Palace.
Inside the majestic Xuande Hall.
A man and a woman stared at each other, but no one spoke. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became depressing.
If Ma Xiaoyao were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the woman kneeling in the main hall is the Eighth Princess. As for the man sitting in the high position... He is the famous His Majesty of the Qinglong Dynasty, the top figure in Tiangong Star. He has a
The domineering name is Zhu Tianba. He has a white face and electric eyes. He looks about forty years old. In fact, his real age is over three hundred years old. He looks younger just because of his advanced cultivation and proper maintenance.
.
"Humph!" Zhu Tianba snorted coldly, causing the whole hall to buzz. The eighth princess kneeling below turned pale and her body was shaky. If she hadn't endured it, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Well, people often say that when an emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be buried! This sentence is very reasonable! Zhu Tianba has a high level of cultivation and a magnificent momentum. A simple cold snort is not something that ordinary people can bear. He glared angrily.
The Eighth Princess: "Do you know your guilt?"
The eighth princess gritted her teeth and replied bravely: "I don't know."
"bump!"
Zhu Tianba slammed the table: "How dare you speak so harshly! Let me ask you, do you want to kill Lao Jiu?"
"I don't understand what my father said. Laojiu is my biological sister, how could I kill her?" The eighth princess bit her to death and refused to admit it.
"You still don't admit it?" Zhu Tianba's face darkened: "Let me tell you clearly, I have obtained enough evidence to prove that you are going to be unfavorable to Lao Jiu! I called you here today just to ask you,
Why are you so cruel that you can even kill your own sister?"
The eighth princess shook her head: "There must be some misunderstanding..."
"It seems that you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin." Zhu Tianba's eyes instantly became extremely cold, and his tone of voice became even colder: "I have sent people to raid Green Water Villa."
"Ah?" The eighth princess's expression changed.
"The illegitimate children you raised and the dead soldiers you trained have all been arrested and brought to justice. Many of them have confessed that you ordered them to assassinate Lao Jiu." Zhu Tianba said slowly.
"Did you capture my son?" The eighth princess's eyes suddenly turned red: "What did you do to him? I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt my son, I will... I will fight with you..."
"You even dare to threaten me? You are getting more and more arrogant!" Zhu Tianba's face was gloomy: "That little guy is my grandson, do you think I can hurt him? No matter how cold-blooded I am, I can't hurt myself.
My grandson, he is at Concubine Yi’s place, and he is provided with good food and drink, and no one can harm him.”
When she heard that her precious son was safe and sound, the eighth princess immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her son was her life, and if anything bad happened to her son, she would not be able to survive.
"If you still want to see your son again, then confess honestly and tell all the bad things you have done." Zhu Tianba played a cruel trick and used his son to threaten the eighth princess, hitting the eighth princess's life point.
The eighth princess laughed miserably: "Okay, I say! Yes, I wanted to kill Lao Jiu! And I almost succeeded."
"Why?" Zhu Tianba asked in a deep voice.
"You are asking questions knowingly!" The eighth princess raised her head and looked directly at Zhu Tianba, not afraid of Zhu Tianba's captivating gaze at all: "Lao Jiu killed my man and made my son an orphan. I and I
She is irreconcilable!”
Zhu Tianba frowned: "For a stinky man, you have to kill your own sister. Is there something wrong with your head?"
"You are not allowed to say that about the man I like!" The eighth princess stared: "He is not a stinky man, he is the best man in the world! He is my favorite man!"
"You are really hopeless." Zhu Tian's domineering face turned blue.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. You can do whatever you want with me." The eighth princess said calmly: "I only ask you one thing, don't hurt my son. He is innocent."
"Seeing you become so numb and cold-blooded, I just want to slap you to death!"
"Come on, kill me. Anyway, you only have Lao Jiu in your heart, and there is no such thing as me as Lao Ba."
"What do you mean?"
"Lao Jiu is your daughter, and I am also your daughter, but have you evened out a bowl of water? When you were very young, you loved Lao Jiu and gave her the best and the most. Now you do it for Lao Jiu.
If you want to kill me, you don’t even have my daughter in your heart!”
"Bastard!" Zhu Tianba was angry: "I have always treated you equally and I have never favored anyone!"
"Humph!" The eighth princess turned her head to the side, not believing Zhu Tianba's words at all.
"You bastard, do you want to piss me off to death?" Zhu Tian's domineering chest rose and fell. If anyone else dared to contradict him like this, he would have slapped him to death, but the woman in front of him was him
His daughter, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, no matter how angry he is, he can't do this cruel thing.
The Eighth Princess also made a bold move today and said all the words she had hidden in her heart for many years. Do whatever you like. The worst is death. Anyway, life has been very hard these years. It is better to die. Once you die, it will be gone.
My consciousness was relieved, and the only thing I couldn't worry about was my son...
There are different understandings when looking at the problem from different angles. Some people think that the son is the eighth princess's heart and soul and is the best gift given to her by God. From another perspective, the son is also a burden and burden to the eighth princess. If it were not for her son...
It is impossible for her to kneel in the hall and wait for death now...
Zhu Tianba took a deep breath: "Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the mansion."
"Huh?" The eighth princess was stunned on the spot: "You...you killed me?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Tianba snorted softly: "When did I say I wanted to kill you?"
"I..." Hachigong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I'm very sad that you murdered your own sister, and I'm very angry that you contradicted me, but..." At this point, Zhu Tianba's tone softened: "No matter what, you are my daughter and mine.
We are all flesh and blood, no matter how cruel I am, I can't do anything to kill my relatives out of justice."
"Father..." The Eighth Princess was a little excited: "I..."
"Stop talking, go back." Zhu Tianba waved his hand: "Go back and reflect on yourself. If you still care about the relationship between father and daughter, don't make me angry again." At this point, Zhu Tianba paused.
Then: "Actually, Lao Jiu also begged me not to embarrass you... In Lao Jiu's heart, he still regards you as his biological sister."
"She begged for mercy?" The Eighth Princess sneered: "If she really cares about family ties, she shouldn't complain to you."
"You..." Zhu Tianba's mood that had just calmed down suddenly became worse again. This daughter is really hopeless. He waved his hand tiredly: "Get out, get out, I don't want to see you again."
Since there is a chance to live, of course you must seize it! The eighth princess stood up, took a deep look at Zhu Tianba, then turned and left the hall.
"Alas..." Zhu Tianba sighed softly: "This old man... is getting more and more... confused..."
"Father." A person suddenly walked out of the back hall. Upon closer inspection, it was Miss Xiaojiu. It turned out that she had been hiding behind and eavesdropping.
"You see." Zhu Tianba shook his head helplessly: "Lao Ba hates you very deeply. It's very difficult to get her to give up her hatred for you... It's very difficult."
"I'm sorry that I have upset my father because of my affairs." Miss Xiao Jiu said guiltily.
