"Someone, take this vicious woman down!"
The guards rushed in and tied up Yue Shen.
Ying Yuan looked at the Moon Goddess who was taken away, with mixed feelings in his heart. He once thought that he had found true love, but he didn't expect that this was just a carefully planned conspiracy.
He slowly sat back on the dragon chair, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes. What if he was invincible in the world? All he wanted was a sense of peace in his heart, and it seemed that he would never get it...
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.
"Report! Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace who wants to see you, claiming to be..." The eunuch's voice trembled a little, "It's... it's your Majesty's son!"
The eunuch's voice trembled even more, "It's...it's Prince Ying Hao!"
Ying Yuan stood up suddenly, his body trembling slightly under his dragon robe. A son? He actually had a son? He had always believed that the Moon God would not leave him any offspring.
"Quick! Call him in!" Ying Yuan's voice was a little hoarse due to excitement.
A moment later, a boy of about seven or eight years old walked in. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with delicate features and handsome eyes. He looked very imposing despite his young age, and his every move and gesture carried an innate aura of a king.
The boy walked up to Ying Yuan and bowed respectfully, "I am Ying Hao, your son, and I pay my respects to you, father."
Ying Yuan looked at the boy who looked very similar to himself when he was young, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He bent down and picked up Ying Hao.
"Good! Good! My good son!" Ying Yuan's eyes were wet with excitement.
Ying Hao looked at Ying Yuan, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Father, Mother..." Ying Hao hesitated to speak.
Ying Yuan's face darkened, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of the Moon Goddess' betrayal.
"Your mother..." Ying Yuan didn't know how to explain to Ying Hao.
"My mother is fine, but she can't be with my father and me anymore." Ying Hao said sensibly.
Ying Yuan felt warm in his heart and loved this young but sensible son even more.
"Hao'er, how have you been these years?" Ying Yuan asked.
"I'm fine, but I miss my father very much." Ying Hao said.
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of you." Ying Yuan said self-reproachfully.
"Father, I know you are very busy, and everything is for the sake of the Great Qin Empire," said Ying Hao.
Ying Yuan looked at Ying Hao, feeling very happy. He had never thought that he would have such a smart and sensible son.
"Hao'er, is there anything you need to come here for?" Ying Yuan asked.
"I heard that your father was not feeling well, so I came here specially to visit him," said Ying Hao.
"I'm fine, just caught a cold." Ying Yuan said.
"Father, I heard that something happened in the palace..." Ying Hao said cautiously.
Ying Yuan knew that Ying Hao was referring to the Moon Goddess. He sighed and said, "Hao'er, there are some things that you will slowly understand in the future."
Ying Hao nodded and asked no more questions.
"Father, I want to stay in the palace to accompany you." Ying Hao said.
Ying Yuan looked at Ying Hao's expectant eyes, and his heart softened. "Okay, I agree."
In this way, Ying Hao stayed in the palace. Ying Yuan was particularly fond of this lost and found son, almost to the point of doting on him.
Ying Hao is also very filial. He accompanies Ying Yuan every day and helps him solve his problems.
However, Ying Yuan didn't know that Ying Hao's appearance was not accidental.
Ying Hao was not born by the Moon God, but a chess piece carefully cultivated by the Yin-Yang School. He was instilled with the idea of reviving the Yin-Yang School since he was a child, and was trained to be a cold-blooded and ruthless killer.
Ying Hao approaches Ying Yuan in order to complete the unfinished mission of the Moon Goddess - to overthrow the Qin Dynasty!
On the surface, he was very filial to Ying Yuan, but secretly he was plotting everything. One day, Ying Yuan was taking a walk in the Imperial Garden, accompanied by Ying Hao.
"Father, let me pick a flower for you." Ying Hao said.
Ying Yuan smiled and nodded.
Ying Hao walked up to a peony flower and reached out to pick it.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand and he stabbed it fiercely into Ying Yuan's back.
"Father, I'm sorry!" Ying Hao's voice was cold and merciless.
The dagger pierced Ying Yuan's body, and the blood instantly dyed the dragon robe red.
Ying Yuan looked back at Ying Hao in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and grief.
"You...why are you doing this?" Ying Yuan's voice trembled.
Ying Hao sneered, "For the Yin Yang Family, for my mother!"
Ying Yuan looked at his once well-behaved and sensible son, his heart filled with despair and sadness.
He slowly fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his wound.
"Father!" Ying Hao suddenly knelt on the ground, crying, "I have no choice but to do this!"
Ying Yuan looked at Ying Hao, with a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't know whether Ying Hao's actions were sincere or false.
He slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and pushed Ying Hao away.
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by and knocked Ying Hao away. Ying Yuan felt a sharp pain in his back, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the dragon bed in the palace, and the imperial physician was treating him.
"Your Majesty is awake!" the imperial physician shouted in surprise.
Ying Yuan struggled to sit up, feeling a burning pain in his back. He looked around but did not see Ying Hao.
"Where is Hao'er?" Ying Yuan asked weakly.
The imperial doctors looked at each other and dared not speak.
At this time, a figure walked in. It was the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si.
"Your Majesty, Ying Hao has been controlled." Li Si said.
Ying Yuan felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He could never have imagined that his beloved son would actually try to kill him.
"Why did he do this?" Ying Yuan asked, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Li Si sighed and told Ying Yuan the whole story.
It turns out that Ying Hao is not Ying Yuan's biological son, but a chess piece carefully cultivated by the Yin-Yang family. He was instilled with the idea of reviving the Yin-Yang family since he was a child, and was trained to be a cold-blooded killer. He approached Ying Yuan in order to complete the unfinished mission of the Moon God - to overthrow the Qin Dynasty!
After hearing this, Ying Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He had always thought that he had found his lost son, but he had never expected that this was just a carefully planned conspiracy.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.
"Bring him up." Ying Yuan said coldly.
A moment later, Ying Hao was brought up. His body was covered with scars, and it was obvious that he had been severely tortured.
"Father..." When Ying Hao saw Ying Yuan, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"How dare you call me father?" Ying Yuan shouted angrily, "You rebellious son!"
"I had no choice but to do this!" Ying Hao cried, "I have been controlled by the Yin-Yang family since I was a child. They threatened me that if I didn't do as they said, they would kill me!" (End of this chapter)
