Yu ‘er was like the last ray of light that the heavens had given him.
Because of her, he had become a different person. Because of her, his closed-space syndrome was cured.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape.
Xiao Jiuyuan tried his best to resist the suffocating feeling brought by the closed space. He tried his best to think of Yu ‘er’s smiling face and the little things that happened between them.
He thought of how much he still owed Yu ‘er. He had treated her like that in the past. He said that he would love her and pamper her for a lifetime.
Therefore, nothing must happen to him. Nothing will happen to him.
In the dark space, Xiao Jiuyuan closed his eyes and did not speak.
Not far from him sat the Empress Dowager. She fell from above and almost died.
However, she struggled to get up and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan from a distance.
She kept murmuring,”Yuan ‘er, I’m sorry. Don’t hate your Royal brother. If you want to hate someone, hate me. I’ll apologize to you when I’m in the underworld.”
As the Empress Dowager said this over and over again, Xiao Jiuyuan, who was lying quietly, seemed to feel numb in his heart. Strangely, he could not feel any pain.
He listened to the murmurs in his ears, as if they were from strangers who were not important.
Those scenes in the past were like a play. Now that the play was over, it was time to abandon him.
Xiao Jiuyuan did not move and quietly let himself fall into the darkness.
At this moment, he felt very fortunate. The darkness had at least buried all the embarrassment in his heart, all the pain of being abandoned.
In the dark space, after the Empress Dowager had apologized countless times, she suddenly raised her hand and clapped it outside the secret room.
With a whoosh, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the dark enclosed space, and soon someone came in from outside.
The man was the Emperor, dressed in a bright yellow Dragon robe. When the Emperor saw Xiao Jiuyuan lying on the ground, a cruel and bloody smile appeared on his face.
He took out a sword from the guard beside him and walked towards Xiao Jiuyuan.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager’s heart ached.
Although she did not give birth to Xiao Jiuyuan, she had brought him up all these years.
She could even feel him hugging her leg and acting coquettishly. Mother, your son will be filial to you.
Mother, your son will not let mother be angry and sad.
Thinking of all this, the Empress Dowager suddenly struggled and shouted,””My son, must you kill him? Even if he wasn’t born by my mother, I brought him up. Can’t you just let him go?”
The old Emperor turned to look at the Empress Dowager and said in a dark voice.
“Mother, if he grows up and becomes powerful one day, will he still tolerate me when he becomes the ruler of the world? He’ll be the one to kill me. ”
“Could it be that mother would rather watch him kill me?”
“Mother, I’m your real son.”
As the old Emperor spoke, the Empress Dowager slowly shrank back and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan, who was lying on the ground.
She mumbled in a repenting tone.
Yuan ‘er, it’s mother who has let you down. After mother dies, I will definitely go to you to apologize.
The old Emperor ignored the Empress Dowager’s words. He raised his sword high and stabbed it at Xiao Jiuyuan.
It was a pity that the person who was supposed to be stabbed to death had floated up like a ghost. His handsome face was covered with a bloodthirsty aura, and his eyes were a strange red light. At this moment, he was like a Messenger of the night from the ghost residence who would take lives and souls in the dark.
