Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 178
Ling Xihan thought about it, no wonder the emperor didn't like her, it turned out that there was such a thing.

"At that time, my mother was less than eight months pregnant. Hearing the bad news, she was frightened and gave birth prematurely..." He quietly clenched the five fingers of his left hand by his side, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

"My mother was extremely miserable during childbirth. She gave birth to me after taking Tianshan Snow Lotus. However, my mother's vitality was seriously injured and her energy was exhausted..." His knuckles were white, his breathing was trembling, and his voice was soft and hoarse.

"Because I was born prematurely, my body is weak, so I can't practice martial arts at all. The Tianshan snow lotus medicine my mother took when she gave birth to me was too strong, and at that time she was too weak to dissolve all the medicine properties, so the other half All the properties of the medicine have been absorbed by me." He raised his head slightly, with bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

"Tianshan snow lotus is a holy medicine. After taking it, it will increase the internal force of a sixty-year-old. So when I was born, I had 30 years of internal force in my body. Unfortunately, I was too weak when I was young, and I couldn't dissolve that internal force at all. If it goes on for a long time, I will only Will be backlashed by internal force, and die violently."

Ling Xihan's brows furrowed, and then stretched out again.

"That's why my mother has sealed my meridians since I was a child, preventing that internal force from flowing in my body, and then slowly channeled it with medicine, so that I can fully control that force." He stopped suddenly when he finished speaking.Ling Xihan noticed that his clenched fists were trembling, and his heart was trembling violently, as if he had fallen into a long and painful memory.

He suddenly raised his eyes, the long and narrow phoenix eyes were bloodshot.

"Do you know what kind of medicine my queen mother gave me?" His voice was very soft, but every word was trembling, and every word was piercing pain.

Ling Xihan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's blood, it's the blood of the queen mother." After Xiao Tingxuan finished speaking, he staggered back two steps, his face whiter than the snowflakes all over the sky.

Ling Xihan was startled suddenly, his eyes widened.

Xiao Tingxuan smiled bitterly, "Isn't it a surprise? My mother's blood was weak after giving birth, and my eighth uncle gave her the heart of jade snow to save her life, so that my father took her to Tianshan for medical treatment. Therefore, the mother's blood is the best The good medicine." His brows were full of pain, his eyes were shattered, bloodshot.

"I didn't know it before, all I know is that before I was four years old, I would drink a bowl of soup made by my mother herself every day. In this way, my body gradually improved, and the internal force in my body was finally under my own control. I can practice martial arts like ordinary people. But...but I didn't expect..." Standing in the wind and snow, his handsome figure swayed slightly like a leaf blowing in the wind.

"Until I was four years old, one night, my mother gave me medicine as usual, but my father suddenly broke in. He walked over step by step, without looking at me from the beginning to the end. He looked at my mother, and then Open the sleeves of the queen mother... At that time, I realized that the arms of the queen mother were covered with criss-cross scars...Many of the scars had scabbed over, and they were almost invisible..." His voice gradually dropped, but still remained the same. Pain that cannot be concealed.

"That's when I realized that she had been cutting her wrists and using her own blood to make medicine for me. The so-called holy medicine for healing that I drank every day was actually the queen's blood..." His lips gradually turned white, and his pupils Suddenly there was panic and fear.

"I will always remember the look in my father's eyes at that time. He just looked at me so straightly. Anger, remorse, disgust... I even saw murderous intent in his eyes."

Ling Xihan narrowed his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Xiao Tingxuan smiled bitterly, "I always thought it was my illusion. No matter how father doesn't like me, I am his son after all, how could he want to kill me? But I didn't know until just now that it was not my illusion. His Time really wanted to kill me, if the queen mother didn't stop me, maybe, maybe I would have died a long time ago..." After he finished speaking, he leaned tiredly on the snow-covered tree next to him.Thick snowflakes fell and fell to the ground in front of his eyes. His whole body was like a statue melted into snow.

Ling Xihan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Now she finally understands why she felt such a sad and dark aura about Xiao Tingxuan when they met for the first time, and why every time he mentions the queen and the emperor.There are scars and pain in the eyes that cannot be healed.It turned out that this was a shadow, the shadow left in his heart by the emperor when he was young.That shadow was so deep that it had already merged into his blood.So no matter how he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the sadness spreading in his bones.

"Since I can remember, I know that my father doesn't like me, very much... When I was young, I always called my mother mother, but my father..." His eyelashes drooped, and he continued: " I am the only son of my father and my mother. I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world, so my father has been very strict with me since I was a child. Even though I was weak and unable to practice martial arts when I was young, my father personally taught and supervised the riding and shooting formation .My father has very high demands on me, and there can be no mistakes...Before I was five years old, my father often punished me to kneel on the cold marble floor...The scars on my knees have never been healed..."

Ling Xihan's eyes moved slightly, his lips were pursed, and he didn't speak.

"My mother will be very distressed every time she sees my injury, and then she will say to me, 'Xuan'er, don't hate him, don't hate your father, he loves you.'" Xiao Tingxuan lowered his head, "Mother My father is the best person in this world for me. She will never lie to me, so I never doubt what she said. In this way, every time I am punished, I will not say a word. Because I firmly believe that father The emperor loves me, he did this only to train me. Until I was six years old, my father threw me into Langya Mountain..."

Ling Xihan raised her head suddenly, of course she knew about Langya Mountain.This is the largest lost forest on the continent. The inside is shrouded in white mist, like a maze, and ordinary people can't get out after entering it.The most terrifying thing is that there are countless beasts inside.Tigers, leopards, wolves, pythons, man-eating ants, piranhas...

It was hard for her to imagine that a father would actually throw his six-year-old son into such a terrifying place that almost meant destruction.She couldn't even imagine how Xiao Tingxuan escaped from the beast's mouth?
"That time, I stayed inside for a month. When I came out, I was already a bloody man, and then I couldn't hold it anymore and passed out. When I woke up, it was seven days later. When I woke up, I saw my mother guarding Beside me, she looked at me with tears in her eyes. I smiled and told her, 'Mom, don't cry, I know what you are going to say. Don't worry, I don't hate my father, I know, he is for me Good.'." He took a deep breath, his fingers trembling and bending, each word seemed to weigh ten thousand catties.

"Mother suddenly cried. It was the first time I saw her cry. That night, she hugged me and cried all night. The next day, she took me to Fengqi Palace. I begged her, but she didn't say a word to my father. One month later, the wound on my body gradually healed. Mother took me out of the palace without saying a word, and returned to my grandfather's house. My father almost Every day I personally came to welcome my mother back to the palace, but my mother was unmoved. Later, it was my grandfather and grandmother who begged her in every possible way. She took me back to the palace."
