Zhong Lichen shook his head, but did not dare to answer.

"Tell me, Zhong Lichen, what's wrong with Xiu'er?" Qi Yuan held back the tears of fear and grabbed Zhong Lichen's arms and shook them tightly. At this time, Qi Yuan had already lost his usual calmness and indifference. At this time, she was an ordinary mother who had lost her child.

"Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan, calm down. Xiu'er is fine, and there is no danger of life." Zhong Lichen quickly comforted Qi Yuan. From the fear in Qi Yuan's eyes, he understood what Qi Yuan had misunderstood.

"Then tell me where Xiu'er is, where did you place Xiu'er?" He took a deep breath. Qi Yuan heard that Qi Xiu was not in danger of life and nothing happened. He slightly calmed down his anxiety and told himself desperately, Qi Yuan, don't be afraid, don't worry, as long as Xiu'er is fine, everything will be fine.

"I..." Zhong Lichen avoided Qi Yuan's eyes. How should he tell Qi Yuan that he used Xiu'er to exchange her out? How did he just tell Qi Yuan that he had no ability to save her, so he could only exchange her son. How did he just tell her that he was useless.

"Zhong Lichen, tell me that as long as Xiu'er is fine, I can ignore anything."

"Xu'er is in Helanxin's hands" Qi Yuan asked, but this matter could no longer be concealed.

Qi Yuan put down Zhong Lichen's hand, puzzled, how could it be possible? "What did you say? OK, how could Xiu'er fall into Helanxin's hand?"

If she was captured by the emperor, she could believe it. After all, the emperor had the idea of ​​using Xiu'er to force her, but why was Helanxin? Moreover, it would be too impossible for Helanxin to escape the power of Zhonglichen and Murong Jin to capture Xiu'er in Zhongli.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Lichen knew that he was nowhere to be avoided, and the more he wanted to avoid some things, the less he had a choice.

"When the emperor took you away, I chased you all the way but couldn't find any trace. There were only a few roads from Yongzhou to the imperial city. But I sent someone to investigate the first road, but there was no news at all. In the end, Murong Jin and I had to discuss secretly entering the imperial city. I thought I was secret, but as soon as I entered the imperial city, I was recruited into the palace by the emperor. After being scolded, I took me softly in the Chen Palace. Maybe you think, how could I be soft with my favor with my brother? But in the royal family, this kind of thing is normal. At this moment, the emperor can treat me as a brother, but the next moment, as long as he shows something that is not conducive to him, then he can be ruthless immediately.

It was the emperor brother who knew my only dark force, the Thirteen Knights of the Dark Night. They were all very skilled in martial arts. The emperor brother was afraid. He didn't think this was my only force. He thought that I, the emperor brother who was pampered and had no intention of political affairs, cultivated power in the dark, so..." He never knew how long the royal love could last, and he had a chair before. There was even a high imperial favor in the hall. But in the blink of an eye, no, he was just not very good, and all this was nothing. Therefore, for a long time, everyone knew that the King of Chen, Zhongli, had extraordinary literary talent and was flowing all over the world. It was a pity that he had no intention of political affairs. He was not intent, but he did not dare, and never dared.

"I was locked in a very secret place by the emperor, and I don't know where it is. It's big, big, and there are people around me all the time." She never blamed Zhong Lichen for not saving her. Sometimes, when her strength is not enough, the only thing she can do is to endure.

"It's really hard to find. The Thirteen Knights of the Dark Night and Murong Jin's power in the imperial city can't find that place. I think my father likes me very much. There is nothing in the royal family that I don't know, but now I understand that there are places that only the emperor can know. No matter how much my father loves me, I will not protect me first."

"What does this have to do with Xiu'er going to Helan?" After the past, Qi Yuan didn't want to get entangled anymore. Now, compared to these, she cares more about why Xiu'er fell into Helanxin's hands. That man is not easier to deal with than the emperor.

"Do you know why Helan's messenger came so coincidentally, and he happened to bring a formation that only you can unlock?" Care is a mess, and this is Qi Yuan, which is related to Xiu'er, so she lost her mind. Zhong Lichen, but he just took Xiu'er's blessing with a good life.

Indeed, because she was too worried that Xiu'er had made Qi Yuan lose his mind, otherwise, she should have understood why at the moment when Xiu'er was in Helan. Indeed, all this was too coincidental. Helan's people didn't come sooner or later, but they arrived three days before she was about to be named the concubine of Zhongli. It was so coincidental that their prime minister came in person and brought a peerless formation.

"Zhong Lichen, you actually used Xiu'er as exchange." Qi Yuan had the urge to kill. Her anger was even more than when Zhong Lichen treated her like that. She was better than Zhong Lichen, but she actually moved to Xiu'er. He didn't know that Xiu'er was her heart flesh, was she the only one in her life, and what she cared most about in her life. She actually moved to Xiu'er. She would not forgive her, and she would never forgive such Zhong Lichen.

"Qi Yuan, don't do this, don't look at me with such disgusting eyes. I can't bear it." Zhong Lichen closed his eyes. He didn't dare to look at Qi Yuan's eyes that were not hatred but disgusting eyes. Compared to this, he would rather Qi Yuan hate him for letting Xiu'er exchange instead of this...

"Zhonglichen, have you forgotten? Xiu'er is also your son. Xiu'er likes you so much, how could you send him to Helanxin's palace? How old is Xiu'er? Under six years old, you actually sent him to Helan alone? Do you know that Xiu'er went to a strange place and couldn't see me, he would be afraid, he would be afraid..." How long hasn't cried? The strange tears made Qi Yuan even more sad. Xiu'er, her child, now he is alone in a strange place, facing a person with bad intentions. What should I do if something happens? What should I do if someone bullies me?

"I'm sorry, it's because I'm too selfish and I just want to prevent you from becoming the concubine of the emperor's brother. I just want to stop you from entering the palace. I had no other way at that time." If he had a choice, he would definitely not be like this. Xiu'er, his love for Xiu'er is no less than Qi.
