Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 291: Mother’s Choice
"In addition, I have never been controlled by the emperor. The little part of her memory left is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain..." Li slowly said, "There are few people there, and there is no palace wall. , There is nothing but a grotto and a hut."
"No, not controlled by the emperor?" Yan Qing showed an unbelievable expression, "and then..."
"She lived with me for a period of time, taught me talk and spells, but never mentioned herself. In her mouth, I just happened to be picked up by her at the foot of the mountain."
Although the two people are still talking, Xia Fan on the side has pulled their vigilance to the highest point.
The capture of the listener by the Privy Council can be explained as a kind of cover, but the hostility to the demon is definitely not a disguise. In case of abnormal movements of the green sword, he can only choose to force the opponent to stay.
However, Yan Qing seemed to be in a state of absent-mindedness.
She stared at Li blankly, but the focus of her eyes did not fall on Li, but seemed to be looking farther away. For Qing Jian, this is probably the most slack time for prevention.
After a while, she shook suddenly, and murmured, "That's it, it turned out to be this way! That's right... Only in this way can the explanation make sense, why did she do that? ..."
Yan Qing’s tone was stunned, enlightened, and lost, but it was more sad.
"Fool...you are really a fool..."
"So she can't entrust me to you." Li lowered his eyelids, "I am afraid that in her opinion, giving birth to a demon is a great shame, and that period is not long but not short, but she I never told my origins, or even let me call the master, let alone my mother."
"Occasionally, I can feel that there is a contradiction in her heart, but she didn't understand the human heart at that time, so she didn't think about it. Later, I realized that she didn't like me so much and was suppressed in her heart. It’s disgust and rejection. She probably thought about whether she would just throw me into the wild and ignore it."
"I have never understood why she had such a contradiction and she had to take time every day to accompany me and teach me knowledge. I want to rescue her from the Privy Council. In addition to repaying the favor, I also want to solve this question. However. If it's like what you said, I was born to her, but I can understand it."
"You’re right, I don’t know her enough, but why don’t you do that!" Yan Qing patted the table vigorously, "Since you have never been controlled by the emperor, she still has to participate in this incident. Don’t you understand the reason?"
"What does... mean?"
"In order to hide you completely, Li Mengyun chose to sacrifice herself!"
Li froze.
"Yes, even if it is Qingjian, even if she is as outstanding as her, she will definitely feel panicked and frightened because her child is a demon, but she still treats you as a blood and blood, there is nothing wrong with that. Doubt!" Yan Qing shook her slightly trembling hand, "Otherwise, I can't explain why she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and accepted all guilt by default."
"Li Mengyun’s reason for participating in the incident was neither because of the emperor’s intimidation, nor was she trying to oppose the Privy Council—all she wanted was to save you so that everyone would forget your existence... This was the last thing she could For you."
Xia Fan was silent, and slowly lowered the hand holding the copper wire pendant.
Because I didn't want to hurt my friends, I didn't reveal a bit of news to my friends from beginning to end, and even when the final judgment was made, I never asked for pity.
Because she didn't want Li to spend her entire life in danger and fleeing, she did not choose to escape, but faced everything alone.
Intermixed between the Privy Council, a friend, and the emperor, she made a decision that seemed incomprehensible, but was the safest for Li.
That is to pretend to be controlled by the emperor, attracting everyone's attention as a betrayer.
Facts have proved that the Privy Council was completely deceived. Even Yan Qing believed that Li's child was harmed by the emperor and would not exist in the world for a long time.
This is the price of keeping a demon.
If this is not the case, it is almost impossible for Qingjian to conceal the whereabouts of a child. As long as the Privy Council initiates an investigation, it will always find some clues. Once the truth about this child is revealed, the fate can be imagined. know.
For a period of time, Li was indeed very bitter. She was displaced and had no food to eat, just like a homeless child... But she was also free.
This freedom has become the most powerful guarantee for her to grow up to adulthood.
After a while, Xia Fan asked, "Master Yan, do you still want to accept her as a disciple now?"
"I..." Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, "Fall, Mengyun was not sure to hide a demon in the general mansion back then. Instead, I insisted on doing this to harm her."
"Will you report to the General Mansion-report that you have found a fox demon hidden in the team of Jinxia City."
"If I want to have this idea, I don't need to report it." Qing Jian gave Xia Fan a cold eye. "It's you—when did you find out that she was a fox demon? How dare to bring the demon to Gyeonggi, saying To be nice is to be bold, if not to be nice, it is to kill yourself!"
"From the moment I met Li, I knew her identity."
"As an alchemist, don't you have any bad thoughts toward her?"
"Hey, isn't it a rule set by the Privy Council to be so harsh on the demon? You are too double standards." Xia Fan curled his lips, let alone, is it a bad idea to touch the tail? "Compared to those rules, I believe in what I see with my eyes. Another thing I don't understand. Seeing your reaction, I seem to have known that people can give birth to demons. Why is the Privy Council so wary of demons? "
Obviously in the Yong Dynasty, the demon would not be treated like this.
"Because I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Western Polar countries." Yan Qing put the chain into his sleeve. "The talent of the demon is stronger than most alchemists. If they can find a stable way to produce descendants, the alchemists and the demon's The status may undergo a fundamental change. In the Holy Wing Islands and the Langis Oceanic countries, the demon has become the upper hand in charge of secular power."
After finishing talking, she looked at Li with a hesitant expression, but in the end she still said, "I still have a ruthless please-can I take a look at your real appearance?"
"Are you doubting her blood?"
"No, I have no doubt about the judgment of the chain, but... when she took off her hat, I suddenly thought that the characteristics of the demon can be hidden, and the appearance can also be disguised. What method should you use...change your appearance Right?"
This person's insight is really keen. Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and was non-committal, which was tantamount to handing over the power of choice to Li himself.
After looking at each other for a while, Li took off the fake skin from her face.
"Mengyun..." Yan Qing still murmured, she stretched her hand forward, as if she wanted to touch the fox demon's cheek, she realized it halfway through, and withdrew her hand reluctantly, "You do Like her, her eyebrows are almost as printed on a mold... That's fine."
Standing up with emotion~IndoMTL.com~Although Yan Qing still has a little regret in her tone, she is quite satisfied compared to before, "No matter what, I have settled my mind. As for you--" She pointed to Xia Fan, "If you really care about her safety, it's best to find a chance to send her out of Gyeonggi. The family has all collapsed, and more and more alchemists will return to Shangyuan in the near future, and no one knows whether there is anyone in it. I can find Miss Li’s flaws. If it’s because of you that puts her in a dangerous situation, no matter where you escape in the future, I will come to the door, understand?"
"Don't worry, this is my idea."
It's not just Li, but everyone should get away from Shangyuan City.
Just as the other party was about to leave the wing, Xia Fan suddenly thought of a key question, "Since Li Mengyun is Li's biological mother, who is her father?"
"No one knows." Yan Qing stopped. "Some people say it's an alchemist in the house, some people say it's an ordinary person outside, but I've never seen her have an affair with anyone, let alone a marriage. "
"Even when she was escorted to Xu, did this person not show up?"
"Yes, what's the use of such an unfeeling man even if he knows who it is?" Yan Qing opened the door of the room without looking back, "So just assume he is dead."
