At that moment, many scenes flashed through Tang Jin's mind, including him receiving glares before entering the Jinyi Guard, licking blood with the tip of a knife after entering the Jinyi Guard, and the final scene was fixed on the scene where the Crown Princess and his eldest brother Qin Yu, mother and son, were getting along. .
Tang Jin's eyes were slightly red. He lowered his head and responded in a hoarse voice: "I don't hate it."
He had been obsessed with something and insisted on something. This voice of not hating was the stubbornness of the young man and his determination to let go of the past.
Dongfang Huang stared at Tang Jin silently. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the candlelight on the eucalyptus swayed and flickered. His unsmiling face finally relaxed slightly.
"Good boy."
A faint smile appeared on Dongfang Huang's lips. He took out a pot of wine and two cups. After filling them, he said to Tang Jin, "Kowtow."
Tang Jin did not hesitate this time. He kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet in front of him seriously, then took the drink from his father and drank it in one gulp.
The overly spicy taste made Tang Jin's complexion change slightly. He coughed twice and looked at Dongfang Huang's gentle face. Something seemed to be melting in his heart.
However, that was only for a moment.
As if it was an illusion, Dongfang Huang returned to his cold attitude of not being near strangers: "My child, you are very good, but you should continue to hate me."
Tang Jin was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed in confusion.
Dongfang Huang held the drink in his hand and looked at the ancestral tablet in front of him, his thoughts gradually drifting away: "My father was unkind to you and did not support you. Since your mother gave birth to you, my father has been sorry for you three times. You have every right to hate me."
As if explaining or talking to himself, Dongfang Huang continued: "Back then, my father already had someone he admired in his heart, but he was arranged by his family to marry your mother. My father could not make any promise to your mother, which made her depressed. And finally, this is the first time."
Tang Jin listened blankly to Dongfang Huang's words, his eyes a little dull.
Dongfang Huang turned a blind eye and continued: "After that, due to the order of His Highness the Crown Princess, he committed a shocking crime for his father, which affected the whole family. Also, because His Highness had something to say, he needed a member of the Dongfang family as a hostage to confuse the public. Therefore, This is the second time that my father abandoned you in the capital and left you alone."
The word "Crown Princess" made Tang Jin's brain explode. He opened his mouth slightly and his eyes were blank. He couldn't help but wanted to blurt out something to ask, but he was shocked to realize that he could no longer say it. a tone.
That was not an illusion, but Tang Jin really felt that his body had become stiff.
Dongfang Huang poured the drink in his hand on the ground, and moved his gaze downwards to meet Tang Jin's gaze. His eyes were as cold as ice and showed no trace of emotion: "The Jin Yiwei is rampant in the world, and the Crown Princess is their enemy but has no way to deal with them. The new governor Lu Hanjiang This is a big worry for His Highness. In order for him to step into this place unprepared, he needs to be convinced that there is a rift between the Dongfang family and the Crown Princess, and that His Highness has no leverage to use."
Snapped!
The wine glass in Tang Jin's hand fell to the ground and shattered. His consciousness had fallen into a state of half-mode lake. His body was shaky, and he plopped down on the futon. He used his last strength to stare at Dongfang Huang. But nothing could be said.
"The Sword Comes"
Dongfang Huang took two steps forward, raised his head to look at the ancestral tablet, turned his back to Tang Jin and said, "I took you back to Dongfang's house not for family reunion, but because of the plan of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, I had to use your life to convince Lu Hanjiang
I, Dongfang Huang, am a stranger to the Crown Princess, so I will make sure that he really takes the bait, so that I can get rid of him."
The light in Tang Jin's eyes gradually faded. At the end of his consciousness sinking into the deep sea, he saw Dongfang Huang squatting down and closing his eyes with his hands: "This is the third time I'm sorry for you as a father, and it's also the last time."
Suddenly another gust of breeze blew in, and the light and darkness in the room alternated. Uncle Fu walked in. He stood behind Dongfang Huang, his eyes fell on Tang Jin's cold body, with a sad expression on his face: "Master, please forgive me."
Dongfang Huang stood up and let out a long sigh: "Ah Fu, I killed my child with my own hands."
Uncle Fu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "This is the order of Her Highness the Crown Princess, and human lives should also be counted in the hands of Her Highness."
After a long silence, Dongfang Huang's stern face slowly revealed an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile, something like crying and resentment: "Ah Fu, did you know that Huangfu Yushu is dead?"
Uncle Fu's eyebrows were even lower: "This news happened a few months ago. I don't know why I always worry about it."
The candlelight reflected in Dongfang Huang's eyes was extremely dim. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the empty wine glass in his hand, murmuring in his sleep: "Ever since I met that person, I have never liked his pretentious appearance. When I first heard about him
When he went crazy and killed people in the Jiangnan area, I knew that he finally exposed his true nature, and it must have been Ling'er who did it."
Uncle Fu was silent, and Dongfang Huang said to himself: "I never think that I am inferior to him. Since we met, the only thing he can surpass me is that he is Ling'er's brother. However, he actually
He is dead, Uncle Fu. Did you know that Huangfu Yushu committed suicide?"
Uncle Fu was startled: "Suicide? How did the master know that the intelligence we sent back does not seem to have found out who killed him."
At this moment, Dongfang Huang couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. He said: "Yan Fengyun can't kill him. What can a mere old man like Bai Du Weng do? Besides, with Ling'er here, no one can kill him unless he
I don’t want to live anymore.”
Thinking of the methods of the Crown Princess, Uncle Fu seemed to agree with this statement: "In this way, Huangfu Yushu did commit suicide."
"The moment I learned about his death, I knew that I was not as good as him."
Dongfang Huang's expression suddenly collapsed. The true energy in his body burst out, crushing the wine glass in his hand, and the turbulent wave of energy extinguished all the candles.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Huangfu Yushu died so simply, so handsomely, so enviably! But Uncle Fu, look at me! In the past twenty years, there has not been a day when I didn't want to end this life! Why didn't she let me go!"
Why don’t you let me go!”
Dongfang Huang put his hands on the twisted and ferocious face, and let out a weak whimpering sound: "As soon as I opened my eyes, the heavy responsibility of reviving the Dongfang family overwhelmed me. I dreamed about it at midnight, and as soon as I closed my eyes
, father, mother, uncles and uncles, brothers and sisters, their figures will appear, asking me why I want to cause such a disaster to the family, asking why I fall in love with Huangfu Ling'er! "
Forbes was silent.
Dongfang Huang knelt on the ground, as humble as a servant: "I don't dare to die. After my death, the Dongfang family will be wiped out. I will be the family's eternal sinner, but I - I can't bear to die. Ling'er has harmed me, Dongfang."
Our family has fallen to this point, but I still can’t forget her in my heart..."
"Everything is destined..."
Uncle Fu sighed: "Sir, we can no longer turn back now. We can only go one way to the end. Your Highness is the person you know best. At least the honor she promised to our Dongfang family will not be turned away after the matter is completed. As long as
By helping our grandson ascend the throne, we can revive the prestige of the Dongfang family."
After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Huang stood up, and his eyes became cold again, like a dead thing without emotion.
"Send a message to the Beggar Clan that Young Master Dongfang died of poison. The planned banquet has been changed to a funeral, and the original date has been postponed for another two days. These days should be enough for Governor Lu to understand the situation at Magnolia Villa.
