Daughter, after eating, you have to pay the bill Chapter 126: Destined to be siblings (text)

  When I arrived at the Xuan Huang Palace, it was already late at night.

  However, everyone was waiting for the New Year's Eve today, so naturally they didn't rest, and even in the middle of the night, the palace was still brightly lit.

  Especially the Yangxin Hall where the emperor lived.

  Carved beams and painted rafters, glittering with gold and jade, bright pearls used as lamps, a golden mirror on the emerald sea.

  The yellow silk gauze that hangs down, gently sways, the golden bronze tripod is placed on one side, emitting a soothing sandalwood fragrance, making the smoke curl up, and the originally luxurious and grand palace has added a few more ethereal touches.

  With Li Dezi, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace, leading the way, Han Xi's heart did not feel honored, but instead felt increasingly uneasy.

  Especially when Li Dezhi invited her just now, his behavior was polite and courteous, but the gaze he looked at her with was eerie and inexplicable, making her feel a chill run down her spine, and all the hairs on her skin stood up.

  She also made a detour along the way, intending to find out some reasons why the emperor asked her to go from Li Dezi's mouth.

  However, Li Dezi was indeed the most trusted and capable eunuch of Xing Huang, and had long since become a master of palace politics. No matter what she said, he couldn't detect even a hint of her true intentions, and in the end, all he got was a single sentence from Li Dezi that was full of hidden meaning.

  "The girl will know when she gets there."

  "Uh..."

  She naturally knew where to go, but now she also wants to know a little about what's going on, so that she can have some peace of mind.

  However, knowing that nothing else would be known from Li Dezi's mouth, Han Xi'er calmed down after some thought.

  The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridgehead, she is now thinking too much in vain, and will know when she gets there.

  When Han Xi Tong was brought to Yang Xin Dian, Li Dezi called out softly towards the inside, his tone extremely respectful.

  "Your Majesty, Han'gul has brought her."

  "Alright, let everyone outside retreat!"

  Inside came Jing Huan's unique low and husky voice, faintly, as if still carrying a hint of fatigue, I don't know if Han Xi Tong heard it wrong.

  But before she could think much, Jing Huan spoke again.

  "Come in, girl!"

  For Xinghuang to call her 'girl' in such a familiar tone, it really made Han Xi's eyes widen in surprise.

  Because after arriving at the imperial palace, she had never spoken much to this Xuan Huang, so now his overly familiar address made her more bewildered than honored.

  What happened that made Xing Huan change his attitude towards her?

  Han Xi Tong didn't know, she just thought, as long as it wasn't something bad, then that was fine.

  Thinking in her heart, Han Xi's eyes then softly said a word "yes" to the inside, and stepped on the jade stone mosaic floor, slowly walking into it.

  Inside Yangxin Hall, Xing Fang had his hands clasped behind his back, facing away from himself, so that Han Xi couldn't see the expression on his face and couldn't guess what he was thinking.

  With a sense of doubt and a hint of unease, she stopped five steps away from Xing Huan.

  After entering, Xuan Huang didn't speak at all. Han Xi's eyes were puzzled, but she patiently didn't open her mouth, only thinking in her heart, what did the emperor want her to do here? Could it be that he wanted her to stand here as punishment?!

  This shouldn't be possible, right!?

  My mind was guessing, and because no one around me said anything, it became quiet like a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

  It wasn't until a long time had passed that Xuan Huang finally spoke up, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

  "You guys look so alike!"

  It was like a sigh of admiration, yet it sounded like a sigh of despair, but instead, Han Xi's eyes were filled with confusion.

  "Huh?"

  What? Like what?

  What is this emperor talking about?

  Just as Han Xi Tong was puzzled in her heart, she saw Xuan Huang suddenly slightly turn his body and look over at her.

  Only saw Xing Huang's body still wearing the bright yellow imperial robe from the banquet earlier, under the illumination of the night pearl, it showed even more noble air.

  The aura of dominance emanating from him was also unmistakable, making people feel a sense of reverence that they couldn't help but have.

  However, that high and mighty emperor, with the supreme right to rule as the Son of Heaven, had a resolute and calm face, but at this moment, it revealed a kind of expression called vicissitudes, which made Han Xi's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  But before she could find out what had happened to the emperor and what that sentence meant, a glance swept across, and all the answers were already fully revealed in front of her eyes.

  When Han Xi Tong saw the painting on the wall beside Xuan Huang, the beautiful woman in the painting made her feel like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she was stunned on the spot.

  BANJI continued history of style, XIE TING sang snow attitude, icy skin transparent, fragrance and charm...

  The woman in the painting has a national color and heavenly fragrance, enough to make all men under heaven go crazy for her.

  However, what shocked Han Xi was not the beauty of the woman in the painting, but...

  Good heavens!

  The woman in the painting looks exactly like me!

  No matter whether it's the eyebrow, eyes or lips, they all look like mine unbelievably.

  However, Han Xi Tong knew that the woman in the painting was not her.

  Because, just by looking at the ink marks, although the owner of this painting has obviously kept it very well, but that faintly yellowed tone with a hint of historical traces is showing that this painting already has some history.

  As Han Xi Tong was shocked and disbelieving at the appearance of the person in the painting, Jing Huang first glanced at Han Xi Tong lightly, and those wise and black eyes also slowly fell on the painting. His eyes flickered with something, his tone was filled with sighs and low murmurs.

  "On that day, I first saw you and was shocked by your appearance. I thought to myself, 'In this world, there is actually a woman who resembles her so much!'"

  "Your Majesty, Xi Tong doesn't understand, may I ask, who is the woman in this painting?"

  Hearing Xuan Huang's words, Han Xi's eyes were filled with doubt.

  Moreover, the unease in his heart grew deeper and deeper.

  This time, it's probably not because Yuè Háng resembles the woman in the painting that she was invited to simply look at the painting. Otherwise, since she has been here for so long, why would he come find her only now.

  What's the secret behind this?

  And also, this woman who is so similar to her, does she have some kind of connection with her?!

  This string of questions seems like it can only be solved by this man in front of her.

  While Jingying heard Hanxi's words, it was as if she had known all along that she would ask this way. She didn't even turn her head, but slowly reached out to stroke the face of the woman in the painting.

  The action is so gentle, as if recalling something, or gazing at this painting, imagining oneself truly touching the woman's face.

  After a long time, Xuan Huang finally spoke in a low voice.

  "This woman is my most beloved Rain Spirit!"

  This time, Xinghuang no longer referred to me as "Zhen", but rather as "I". It was enough to see that his love for this woman was the love of a man for his beloved, not that of an emperor.

  At these words, Han Xi's eyes widened slightly and her small mouth opened slightly.

  "Yu Ling, she was originally Tian Qi and Xiao Ran's mother."

  It was known earlier that when Tian Qi was four years old and Xiao Ran was only one year old, their mother had suddenly left the imperial palace.

  I don't know what the reason is, whether it's because of disappointment or despair, but whatever it is, if a woman can abandon her husband and child, she must have been driven to desperation by some unbearable circumstance.

  Just as Han Xi was pondering, Xuan Huang suddenly turned around and slowly said to Han Xi.

  "That year, when Yu Ling left, Tian Qi was only four years old and Xiao Qi was just over a year old. I don't know why she was so heartless to abandon me and the two children. All these years, I've been looking for her through various means, but never found her..."

  At this point, Jinghuang suddenly paused, and his gaze at Hanxi's eyes became even more complex.

  Those eyes, filled with doubt, inquiry, and excitement, made Han Xi's whole body tremble involuntarily, her back stiffening.

  Because of this, Jing Huang's gaze towards her made her feel even more uneasy in her heart.

  I don't know if Xuan Huang noticed Han Xi's uneasy heart, but he continued to speak, and his tone was filled with nostalgia and affection.

  "I really miss her, I really want to ask her why she left without saying goodbye, but this answer, I never knew, and I never found her until you appeared. You, are so much like her..."

  "Uh..."

  Jian Xuan said this, Han Xi's heart still had some doubts.

  Because, from his words, she still doesn't know what this matter has to do with her. Even if she knew Yu Ling, Xuan Huang didn't need to let her come here. Moreover, she also doesn't know where Yu Ling is now, why call her over?

  Is it just to hear him complain?

  Just as Han Xi was stunned, Xuan Huang's next words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocking him to the point of being petrified.

  "You not only look like her, but also, Yulin once told me that the women in her family all have a blood-colored butterfly birthmark on their shoulders. When Yulin left back then, she was actually already one month pregnant..."

  This thing was something he had just investigated recently.

  At that time, Yu Ling was pregnant, but she had never told him about it until recently, when he finally found out.

  Plus the blood-colored butterfly birthmark on Han Hui's right shoulder...

  Han Xi's eyes widened in shock as she heard Xuan Huang's words, and her delicate face turned pale in an instant.

  "You, what you're saying means..."

  Because of the excitement and shock in her heart, Han Xi's words were stuttering.

  "No, no, no, it shouldn't be like this! Have you misunderstood something?!"

  " Misunderstanding?" Han Xi's eyes couldn't take this blow, and Xuan Huang also knew the reason.

  After all, considering her unusual relationship with her own sons, if she were the child of herself and Yuling, wouldn't that make her siblings with her own children?

  Although this matter is unacceptable to everyone, including him, who can explain these facts in front of us?

  "Similar appearance, butterfly birthmark on the shoulder... haven't these all proven it already? Child..."

  At this point, Jinghuang's voice was excited and hoarse.

  "You're the child of me and Yulin..."

  No!

  Han Xi's eyes widened in shock!

  This joke has gone too far, it's not funny at all! She can't accept it.

  If she is the child of Xuan Huang and Yu Ling, then wouldn't that make her the younger sister of Xuan Tian Qi and the others!?

  She had a relationship with Xiao Ran and Gui Mei, Gui Chen in the past, isn't this incestuous?!

  Although she was hurt by love and had given up on it, for Xun Xiao Ran, she only kept emphasizing that her feelings for them were just liking, the kind of liking one has for friends or family.

  But when she heard Xuan Huang's words, her heart suddenly became bitter and chaotic for no reason.

  At this moment, she finally realized her own heart.

  In fact, she has been deceiving herself all along.

  Her heart was wounded and scarred, but she wasn't heartless; her heart still existed.

  So, when Xiang Xiao Ran and the others were being careful with themselves, caring for each other to the extreme, pouring their hearts out, she had already been moved to tears, her originally melancholic heart also unknowingly being moved by these few people.

  In my heart, I had slowly accepted their existence a long time ago.

  Now, just as she has finally come to realize her own thoughts, heaven is going to play a joke on her!?

  No, she can't accept it!

  "Your Majesty, what do these things represent? Is it just because I resemble her and have a blood-colored butterfly birthmark on my shoulder that you say I'm your and Yu Ling's daughter? Isn't this too rash?! Moreover, I'm one year older than Xiao Ran, how can you explain this?!"

  "Who can prove that you're really seventeen years old? Maybe someone deliberately fabricated your age, it's also possible!"

  Xuan Huang looked at Han Xi's eyes full of panic and excitement, unable to accept the fact, and could only speak kindly beside her.

  And what he said also makes some sense.

  Although Han Xi Tong's memory was 17 years old, she had lost her parents at a young age and was raised by her aunt. However, the difference of one or two years was negligible.

  But who is so bored as to fabricate her age!?!

  It's clear that Han Xixiang didn't want to admit the fact that she was actually the daughter of Jing Huang. Moreover, in order to prove that she wasn't his daughter, Han Xixiang suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up, just like a drowning person who had found a lifeline, and she felt extremely excited inside.

  "There's another way to find out if we're father and daughter!"

  "What is it?"

  Upon hearing this, Xuan Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he heard Han Xi's voice say.

  "A drop of blood recognizes one's relatives!"

  "A drop of blood recognizes relatives?!"

  Upon hearing this, Cui Hu's face paused for a moment, and then he immediately raised his hand to signal Li Dezi beside him to prepare a bowl of clear water.

  Li Dezi received the order and immediately turned around to leave. In less than a moment, he came back, and in his hand was a delicate porcelain bowl.

  The clear water in the bowl rippled with his movement, creating a beautiful wave.

  But at this moment, Han Xi Tong's heart, however, began to sink even more heavily as the bowl of clear water walked in.

  Because of Jing Huan's firm words just now, if he didn't have a hundred percent guarantee, he wouldn't have called her here.

  If she really is his daughter, what then!?

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes tightened in her heart, as if a large stone was pressed against her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

  That delicate face had long lost all its blood color, pale as paper, and the worry, panic in her eyes, unhidden, made people's hearts ache just by looking at it.

  However, Jinghuang still put down the dagger that was beside him, first dripping a few drops of blood into the clear water, then slowly fixed his gaze on Han Xi's eyes, waiting for her move.

  Because although he had investigated many facts that proved Han Xi Tong was his daughter, if they could have a blood test to confirm their relationship, it would be even more certain.

  Han Xi's heart was racing violently, 'thumping thumping' as if it was going to jump out of her chest when she saw Xing Huan's gaze fall on her.

  However, her feet were as if they had been filled with mercury, and every step forward seemed to drain all her strength away.

  However, after emphasizing calmness for a long time, she bit her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly walked forward.

  All around was so quiet, quiet enough that Han Xi's eyes seemed to be able to hear his own violent heartbeat.

  Heart racing with anxiety, however, Han Xi's face feigned calmness as she slowly picked up another clean dagger and slid it towards her fingers.

  With a sharp stab of pain, the bright red blood gushed out from the pale fingers and slowly dripped into the bowl, creating a slight ripple.

  That bowl, I don't know where Li Dezhi got it from, was made very intricately. The bottom of the bowl is white, as white as snow, without any impurities.

  So when their blood dripped down, the bright red color matched with the snowy white color, looked so beautiful and charming.

  Just like a red plum blossom suddenly blooming in the snowy ground, vibrant, clean and gorgeous!

  However, as Han Xi's eyes watched her own blood slowly dripping down, quivering slightly in the bowl, her heart also moved slightly with that fresh blood.

  With a tense gaze, he never left that porcelain bowl, praying and worrying in his heart until...

  Those two drops of bright red blood slowly merged into one...

  No!

  This is not true!

  Han Xi Tong exposed Sri, desperately shouting.

  By his ear, there was a "clang" sound, the sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground, which was especially clear in this quiet night.

  A louder cry of despair than hers echoed through the room as the porcelain bowl hit the floor, revealing Sri's skyward wail, its volume so great that it shook the heavens.

  "No, none of this is true! It's you, Father Emperor! What kind of trick did you use to make Han Xi Tong's blood and yours merge into one? You're doing this just to separate me from Tong Er, aren't you?"

  A loud roar from Sili's mouth, Han Xi only felt a flash of white clothes in front of her eyes, and Xuan Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her without knowing when.

  His whole body was filled with an air of elegance, his sleeves still fluttering down with his movements, slowly floating down, his sleeves flying high, only then could one see how extraordinary he was.

  However, that one face full of angry and disbelieving expressions made him like a furious lion, opening his sharp fangs and claws at this moment.

  But the sorrow and despair in his eyes made one's heart skip a beat.

  "Sigh..."

  Seeing her own son's expression, Xuan Hua also knew that he must have seen what happened between him and Han Xi Tong earlier.

  In her heart, she also felt deep sorrow for this son.

  After all, this child, because of his resemblance to Yulíng, has been compensating for his guilt towards Yulíng by doting on him since he was a child.

  Cherish it in your hand and fear it will drop; hold it in your mouth and fear it will melt.

  Now, looking at her beloved son with a heartbroken face, Xuan Hua's eyes were filled with pain.

  That resolute face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

  "It's just like that, in fact, you..."

  "No! What is the truth!? The truth is that you, Father, want to separate me and Tong Er, so you intentionally played a trick. In fact, what did you put in that bowl that would make your blood and Tong Er's blood merge as one, right?!"

  The phoenix eyes that were originally narrow and long, now looked even more terrifying as they were filled with a deep crimson color.

  When Xiang heard Xun's words, a hint of hurt appeared on Xun's face, and her dark eyes dimmed.

  "Actually, in Xiao Qi's heart, Father Emperor was such a person. Your words have hurt Father Emperor's heart..."

  Xuan Huang's face was filled with worry, and after a pause, he sighed and said to Xuan Xiao Ran.

  "No matter what, Xi Tong is... still your sister..."

  "No, Tong'er is not my sister, no, no..."

  Xiao Ran couldn't accept this fact, and suddenly jumped in front of Han Xi Tong, stretched out both hands, and fiercely grasped Han Xi Tong's arms.

  Because of excitement and anger, Xun Xiao Ran also didn't notice the strength he used to grasp Han Xi Tong's wrist was so great that Han Xi Tong's arm went numb, she felt like her hand was about to be pinched off by Xun Xiao Ran.

  But before Han Xi Tong could cry out in pain, she heard Xing Xiao Ran let out a low growl like an injured male lion, his eyes gleaming with a fierce red light as he glared at Han Xi Tong.

  "Little pupil, you're not my sister, no..."

  Xiao Ran said as he shook his head continuously, but the tone and expression, it was unclear whether he was convincing himself or others.

  Seeing Xiang Xiao Ran's appearance at this moment, Han Xi's eyes also couldn't believe and couldn't bear it, her identity was actually Xiang Xiao Ran's younger sister...

  Good heavens! Is heaven looking at her life being too carefree and finally can't bear it, so it wants to punish her?!

  "Sigh..."

  "No, Ling'er, don't say anything, let's go!"

  Interrupting Han Xi Tong's words, Xuan Xiao Ran grasped Han Xi Tong's hand firmly and started to walk out.

  "Go? Where?"

  Passively following Xiang Xiao Ran's footsteps, because at this moment Xiang Xiao Ran's strength was so great that it was like a pair of iron pliers. La Han Xi's wrist hurt from being pulled, but Xiang Xiao Ran seemed completely unaware.

  "We'll leave this place, the palace, and go live somewhere where no one can find us. My dear, I love you, for you, I'd give up everything I have, all I need is you!"

  When Xuan Xiao heard Han Xi Tong's words, he suddenly stopped and turned his head. Those phoenix eyes that were still crimson now surged with love that couldn't be hidden, and he spoke to Han Xi Tong with deep emotion.

  Undoubtedly, Xun was in love with her, and this she had always known.

  Before, she had always been emphasizing that Xun Xiao Ran was just her younger brother, so she should treat him as a sister.

  However, she had always known that Xiang Xi Ran loved her, loved her very much, and was willing to do anything for her.

  Just like now, he abandoned everything for her, regardless of status and fame, how could she not be moved?!

  But...

  "No, Xiaoran, I won't go with you!"

  Han Xi took a deep breath and said firmly, no matter if Xun would get hurt.

  Not only does she have the same blood flowing through her veins as him, but also, as a heavenly pride like Xun Xian, she was destined to stand in a high position from birth, enjoying the highest rights and status.

  How could she let him give up everything for her own sake?

  I don't know what Han Xi Tong is thinking in her heart. When Xuan Xiao Ran heard Han Xi Tong's words, the hurt look in her eyes was clear for all to see.

  Her red lips parted slightly as she asked.

  "Why? Ling'er, I love you!"

  Xiao Ran was heartbroken and howling.

  At this, Han Xi's eyes felt a pang of pain.

  That pain is like someone taking a knife and slashing your heart bit by bit.

  But at this time, Han Xi mustered up the courage to say word by word to Shang Xuan's injured eyes.

  "Because I love you..."

  Every word and sentence is as if it took all his strength to say.

  As soon as he finished saying this, Han Xi only felt that all his strength had been sucked out of his body.

  My heart is bleeding even more, silently saying sorry to Xiang Shuo who is standing there quietly.

  Sorry, Xiao Ran, sorry...

  On the other hand, Xing Xiao Ran's face turned pale with shock and excitement after hearing Han Xi Tong's words.

  Letting go of Han Hui's large hand at this moment.

  Although she felt a sense of relief in her wrist, Han Xi suddenly felt the weight on her heart growing heavier, suffocating her.

  Jing Xuan was silent for a long time before speaking in a trance-like manner.

  "You don't love me, you don't love me... Haha..."

  After muttering a few words, Xing suddenly burst out laughing as if she had just seen the most hilarious joke.

  He laughed, his hands clutching his stomach, a huge smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He laughed, those bright red phoenix eyes were like a burst dam, and the crystal clear tears kept falling down, making Han Xi's heart skip a beat.

  Looking at Xun Xiao Ran's appearance, Han Xi's eyes were filled with the urge to go forward and hug him, to wipe away the tears on his face. However, she couldn't, also shouldn't...

  They're siblings!

  As Xun suddenly burst out laughing like a madman, he was seen rushing out of the house in an instant.

  Yan Hui, who was standing by silently, saw this and feared that Yan Xun would be stimulated to do something foolish, so he immediately dispatched a secret guard to chase after him.

  Han Xi Tong, however, was staring at Xun Xiao Ran with a crazed expression, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed into a frown, his gaze fixed on him from start to finish, until Xun Xiao Ran rushed out of the palace like a madman, his figure quickly disappearing from her line of sight.

  As Xun Xiao Ran left, he saw several tall figures standing outside the gate. When he looked at those familiar figures, Han Xi's eyes felt as if the entire world was collapsing before him...

  Is it Tianqi and those few of them? Did they all hear it? Do they know now?

  Fate is playing tricks on people! They are destined not to be in love!

  ……
