Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 219: Xuanxuan Awakens

For three whole days, Xinyue hadn't seen a trace of Xiaoxuan. Xinyue regretted it, but she had no choice. Her brother was now the general of Xiyan. If she refused the marriage or ran away, Fenglong would be punished. All this was because of Xiaoyao, she had forced him to do it!

But Xiaoyao knew everything about her. If she sent someone to kill her, whether she was killed or not, she would have to bear the wrath of Xuanxuan. She knew better than anyone how much Xuanxuan cared about Xiaoyao.

King Xi Yan moved to a more remote palace, which was quiet but not cluttered. His eyes did not become decadent because of his abdication. He had been a soldier all his life and had never regretted it. It was just that when he got old, he would always miss the simple times in the past.

After attending the morning court, Xuan came here alone and watched his grandfather leisurely sipping tea and playing chess with himself, having a lot of fun.

"grandfather…"

"Xuan, come here! Come, play chess with me."

Huangdi's voice was hoarse but carried the calmness of time, which calmed Xuanxuan's heart.

"it is good."

The two played chess in silence. Huangdi made his moves very quickly, while Xuan took a long time to think for each move.

"If your mind is not calm, you will not be able to control the situation. Xuanxuan, your mind is in turmoil!"

Xuanxuan paused his hand as it was about to make a move, then put it down again. He raised his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm really upset. I think I did something wrong."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"I don't know... I thought Xinyue was willing to marry me, but I saw hatred in her eyes. I thought Xiaoyao was my sister and she should stand on the same side as me, but she secretly married Xiangliu. For Xiangliu, she even treated me... I don't know who I can trust now... I feel like I'm living in a huge lie. Everyone is acting, and I'm the only one who knows nothing... This makes me very scared and uneasy... Grandpa, what should I do?"

Huangdi sighed. He was the same. Until now, he was increasingly unable to figure out what Xiaoyao was trying to do.

She seemed to help Xuan return to Xiyan and planned to kill the Seventh Prince and Yue Liang. He couldn't tell whether she was taking revenge on him as her grandfather or helping Xuan get rid of his opponent.

"Xuanxuan, you are already the emperor, so you can't be sentimental. Emperors cannot have emotions. Are you going to give up what you have been working hard for just because of Xiaoyao?"

"But Grandpa, if Xiaoyao was still asleep, I could have been cruel enough to do this, but she's back, and she even knows what I'm going to do. Sometimes she looks at me like she's asking me: Brother, Haoling is my home. If you want to point your knife at Haoling, you'll have to step over my dead body! Grandpa, do you know? That look in her eyes shows she hates me! I'm her brother, and yet I'm thinking of leaving her with nothing. Does the world really have to be unified? Isn't it pretty good the way it is now?"

"Xuan Xuan! You also know that she hates you and me. Do you think that if you don't attack Hao Ling, she won't attack Xi Yan? According to intelligence, Hao Ling has always been on the alert for war. If you continue to be like this, I will be very disappointed in you. It would be better to let Xiao Yao be the king. It would be simpler! She is ambitious and cruel! If the Great Wilderness is unified, perhaps King Hao Ling will voluntarily give up the throne!"

"Grandpa, you know everything?"

"Who do you think you can hide this from? She can be so cruel to you, so why do you hesitate for her? Xiangliu is dead, and when she came back, she didn't even go to Qingshui Town, which shows how cold and indifferent she is. If she blames you for Xiangliu's death, are you still waiting for her to kill you? Among the assassins sent out that year, there were Xiyan's secret guards..."

Xuan was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, his face full of disbelief! His voice trembled, and he felt incredible.

"Grandpa, are you going to kill Xiaoyao? Are you going to kill Xiangliu and Hall Master Yan?"

Huangdi glanced at Xuan with an icy glance, his voice devoid of emotion: "Why, she's allowed to touch my people, but I can't touch her? As an emperor, you should eliminate all beings that could threaten you! Even if that person is your son!"

"So, Xiaoyao knows?"

Xuanxuan was completely confused. Xiaoyao in this life was different from the previous life. In the previous life, Xiaoyao centered around Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan knew that he was the first in Xiaoyao's heart, so he made the same decision as Huangdi, because he felt that Xiaoyao would never leave him. Even if she was angry for a while and left, she would always come back.

But this life is different. Xiaoyao is telling him every moment with her actions that if you don't touch her people, she might go crazy at any time! She was able to fight against the Xiyan army for the sake of the demon slaves she saved, but now, Huangdi told him that those who participated in the assassination were also involved in Xiyan's share!

Thinking of the annihilated Qingqiu and Lirong clan, Xuanxuan felt a chill in his heart for the first time...

The coldness deep in Xiaoyao's eyes reminded him that this matter would not be so easy to get over...

One was her husband, the other was her master, and now, he was actually planning to point his sword at her father...

"vomit…"

"Xuanxuan!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Xuanxuan's mouth. What kind of stupid things had they done?

Huangdi supported Xuan, who suddenly vomited blood, and sighed. Xuan was too soft-hearted after all.

"Grandpa, Tushan Jing killed the Fifth Prince and Shi Ran. Xiaoyao did plot to kill Yue Liang and the Seventh Prince, and she also poisoned me. But Grandpa, I never blamed her. I owed her, we all owed her. She hates Grandpa because you caused her mother and father to die together, leaving her to wander alone for three hundred years, suffering all the hardships of the world. She deserves to hate you, she deserves to hate you..."

"Xuan Xuan... Grandpa knows, but I'm the emperor. I can't abandon my people. When I found out that she, Xiangliu, and Hall Master Yan were raising demon soldiers, I saw her ambition. Her goal has always been me, Xiyan. Xuan Xuan, you and Xiaoyao, there's no way to save each other. If you can't make a decision, Grandpa will make it for you! I'll be the villain! Anyway... I've been the villain all my life..."

Even so, he never regretted it. If he could go back to the past, he would still make the same choice.

"Grandpa, no, let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Xuan got up in a panic, pushed away Huangdi's hunched figure, and staggered out. His eyes were already filled with tears, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a piercing ice knife. The pain spread throughout his body, and he felt cold all over.

It turned out that, unknowingly, they had caused Xiaoyao so much harm, and he was completely unaware. If Xiaoyao hadn't been so powerful, she would have died a thousand times over. What had he done for her? He only blindly demanded and exploited her, saying he wanted to protect her, but he was the one who hurt her the most.

Xuan looked at his hands. Did Xiao Yao cripple him to tell him how helpless a person would be without spiritual power?

But when she came back, she pretended to have no spiritual power... and I still put her in the most dangerous place...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Brother was wrong..."
