The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 307: Repaying a Favor

Ling Xun opened his eyes wide, and saliva mixed with blood slid from the corners of his mouth.

He didn't know who the other person was, let alone why he wanted to kill him.

"puff……"

"You...who are you?"

"Who sent you?"

Perhaps this is what it means to "die with a clear conscience".

The man in black tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at a worthless piece of junk.

After a moment, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled frivolously.

"King Ruyang asked me to send you off."

"Prince Ruyang..."

Ling Xun's pupils suddenly shrank.

Knife up and down.

The blade cut through the air, a cold light flashed, and a hideous cut instantly appeared on Ling Xun's neck, with blood gushing out.

Then a slight "cooing" sound was emitted.

he died.

This dark line that had been hidden for many years was broken.

The night was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The prince of Bei Ming died in the palace of Tian Yan.

The Beiming Kingdom will never give up.

Tian Yan, who secretly colluded with other countries for the throne, is probably... coming to an end.

-

The lanterns swayed, emitting a dim light that lengthened the human figures.

Hao Hengshan walked quietly, and every step was based on the memories of the past.

There was a noise not far away. He tilted his ears slightly, his eyes were cold, but in the end he didn't care.

Now, he has no time to take care of these.

He wants to find Concubine Yan.

The conversation he had just had with Hao Chuan suddenly enlightened him and made him realize something.

The initiator of the Hao family's suffering was none other than the almighty emperor.

And the person he once 'hated' was...wrong.

He shouldn't hate Wei Yun who loved him.

Nor should he hate Hao Chuan, who regarded him as majestic.

In a trance, scenes from the past emerged in his mind like old nightmares.

Big sister, Hao Fenghua...

The eldest daughter of the Hao family was frail and sickly and died at a young age.

Second sister, Hao Yuehua...

The second young lady of the Hao family hanged herself in order to avoid entering the palace as a concubine after her beloved man died tragically.

Concubine Yan...

……

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. At the end of the corridor, he could vaguely see the palace gate leading to Concubine Yan's bedroom.

Tonight, many things should come to an end.

In front of the shrine, Concubine Yan knelt on a cushion with her hands folded on her knees, her fingertips slightly white from the force.

The green smoke from the incense burner curls up, filling the room with silence.

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, General Hao wants to see you."

Concubine Yan's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Surprise, ecstasy, excitement...it was like a long-awaited response had finally been received.

"quick!"

She stood up suddenly and spoke almost impatiently.

"Let him in quickly!"

Then she hurriedly reached out to tidy up her messy hair and tugged at the collar, trying to make herself appear more dignified and calm.

But his fingers were trembling slightly due to nervousness, and his movements seemed messy.

While tidying up, he murmured softly.

"I knew it……"

"I knew he wouldn't ignore us!"

"Mo Sheng is saved..."

The news that Luo Mian died on the battlefield hit her heart like a huge rock, making her feel mixed with sadness and joy.

The good news is that there is one less strongest opponent on the road to the throne.

The sad thing is that Luo Mian died on the battlefield, so wouldn’t Luo Mosheng be in even greater danger there?

As my thoughts were churning, the palace door was slowly pushed open.

Hao Hengshan stepped into the hall with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

Concubine Yan looked up suddenly and saw that familiar face, with uncontrollable ecstasy in her eyes.

She waved her hand, signaling the palace servants in the hall to leave.

"You...you finally pay attention to me!"

Her voice trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"Then how can Wei Yun compare to the position I hold in your heart!"

His eyes suddenly became hot, and his voice was filled with a bit of crazy stubbornness.

However, Hao Hengshan just looked at her quietly, with deep complexity in his eyes.

After a moment, he shook his head gently.

Concubine Yan's smile froze instantly and her eyes trembled slightly.

"What do you mean?"

The voice suddenly turned cold, and the original ecstasy was instantly replaced by vigilance and anger.

"Don't you understand yet?" Hao Hengshan said seriously.

"We were wrong from the beginning."

Concubine Yan's expression gradually froze.

"What's wrong?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Where is wrong?"

She wiped her eyes like a child, but the more she wiped, the more tears came and she couldn't stop falling.

"I see……"

"I see!"

Concubine Yan stared at Hao Hengshan with a burning gaze, with an almost pathological madness in her eyes.

"You're still blaming me for killing that bitch, aren't you?"

"Hao Hengshan, I have done so much for your Hao family! I have sacrificed so much! Am I not as good as that bitch who came along halfway?"

Almost a roar.

Hao Hengshan looked at Concubine Yan in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

She was not wrong.

Every word she said was true.

Concubine Yan should not have been Concubine Yan.

She was originally a maid serving Hao Fenghua, the eldest daughter of the Hao family. She was a poor person who had no one to rely on since childhood and was taken in by the Hao family.

Hao Fenghua treated her like her own sister, and she also regarded the Hao family as her own home.

They grew up together, and Concubine Yan and Hao Hengshan fell in love for the first time. They were in love with each other and decided to spend the rest of their lives together. They had envisioned a beautiful future countless times.

——Until the master of the Hao family passed away.

The court dispute swept through like a hurricane, and their Hao family became a thorn in the eyes of the almighty emperor and had to be removed.

Therefore, the emperor issued an edict, ordering the Hao family to send a female relative to the palace as a concubine.

But Hao Fenghua, the eldest sister of the Hao family, was frail and sickly, and could not endure the torture in the palace.

Therefore, the imperial edict fell on the second young lady, Hao Yuehua.

However, Hao Yuehua already had someone in her heart at that time, and she made a vow to her lover to stay with him through thick and thin.

The young Hao Hengshan could not bear to conceal the truth, so he went directly to the palace to report and plead for his second sister.

But he was so naive.

On the second day, Hao Yuehua's lover was charged with false charges, dragged to the Meridian Gate, and beheaded in public.

Blood splattered all over the street, the head rolled to the ground, eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.

The night before the palace maids came to urge her to marry, Hao Yuehua put on her wedding dress and hanged herself under the osmanthus tree in the Hao Mansion.

He thought that would be the end of it.

But the emperor still refused to let them go.

He turned his attention to Concubine Yan.

At that time, Concubine Yan was just an unknown maid in the Hao family.

But what the emperor wanted was not Hao Yuehua, but a "female member of the Hao family", a 'hostage' who could control Hao Hengshan.

In order to save the Hao family, Concubine Yan assumed the identity of the third daughter of the Hao family, Hao Moli, and entered the palace as a concubine.

She voluntarily entered the palace and became the emperor's woman in exchange for the Hao family's future peace.

She was repaying a favor.

To repay Hao Fenghua for saving my life.

Hao Hengshan grabbed his robe and knelt directly in front of Concubine Yan.

"Qian'er..."

"I'm sorry for you."

"Turn back..."
