After nightfall, the Empress Emperor and Hei Xuanxi's brothers and sisters all came to the land to visit Hei Xuanxi, and seeing him chatting with Wu Ruo lively, felt relieved.
In the next few days, Hei Xuanxi was unable to eat under the torture of strong drugs every day, causing his body to become weaker and thinner. In the end, it was quite difficult to even sit up, but he still comforted everyone with a smile on his face.
Everyone saw the pain in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, and they couldn't bear him to suffer from the pain again.
In order to get Hei Xuanxi to eat, Wu Ruo tried every means, and finally researched food that was the same as water but could replenish physical strength and fill the stomach, so that Hei Xuanxi could barely survive the strong medicine time and time again. torture.
Hei Xuanyi was very distressed when he saw that Wu Ruo had lost a lot of weight, so he asked Imperial Doctor Yao to take care of his younger brother, and then took Wu Ruo back to the underground palace.
He took Wu Ruo's hand, rubbed his finger bones, and couldn't help frowning; "I'm thinner."
"I'm thin?" Wu Ruo raised his other hand and touched his face: "Is there any? By the way, Xuan Yi, didn't the emperor of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom say that as long as you help them undo the curse, they will help heal Yang deficiency?" Are you sick? How do you think about this matter?"
Hei Xuanyi slowed down: "Do you want the Holy Emperor to help Yang Yang?"
Wu Ruoqing said: "I really can't bear the pain of sixth brother.
"Because someone threatens us with his life, it is better to let him continue to suffer. The sixth brother will not want us to be restricted by others because of himself."
Wu Ruo narrowed her eyes: "You mean you are worried that the Holy Emperor will make some small moves?"
"It's almost like this. People in the Heavenly Holy Kingdom can't believe it. I will meet the Holy Emperor that night, and I want to take this opportunity to find out about the tricks on you back then."
Wu Ruo's saintly image of "sacrificing himself to save others" to the Holy Emperor was instantly shattered: "Is it really his twin brother who tricked me?"
"I have sent someone to inquire. He and Wushuang do have a twin brother, but it is not known if his brother did it. After all, it is difficult to find out what happened twenty years ago. However, Things in the slave market are indeed done freely."
"Did they do the prize for the third ninth-tier magician?"
Hei Xuanyi shook his head slightly: "The person who took away the reward for the third place has returned the pill to the ninth-rank magician who is the third place."
Wu Ruo was surprised: "It's so easy to return it?"
"Um."
"Did the person who snatched the elixir replace or touch the elixir?"
"We took it to the black market for appraisal, and the people in the black market said that it was neither replaced nor passive."
"It's really strange. It took a lot of trouble to snatch the pill, and finally returned it without doing anything. It's really puzzling. I don't think it's that simple.
Hei Xuanyi narrowed his black eyes.
"Having said that, the rewards for the top three are really good." Wu Ruo said with a smile: "If you also participate in the competition, you will definitely be able to win the first and second places, and get rewards such as space rings or spiritual weapons."
Hei Xuanyi hooked the corners of his lips: "You really believe that I can win the game?"
"Of course, you are the most powerful person in my eyes and heart, like a mountain soaring to the sky for me to rely on, allowing me to do anything without fear.
Hei Xuanyi's smile deepened.
"By the way, the one who won the first place..."
Before Wu Ruo finished speaking, she was interrupted by the children's voices.
"Daddy, father." Dandan and Xiaoxiao, who had just finished class, rushed over excitedly and hugged Wuruo's thigh after not seeing Wuruo for many days: "Daddy, hug."
Wu Ruo hugged Eggy with a smile, kissed his little face, and then kissed his little head again: "Do you miss Daddy?"
"Yes." The two children replied in unison.
Wu Ruo also missed the child very much, so she tightened her arms slightly, and carried the child to the hall. Suddenly, there was a muffled voice from behind: "Father!"
When everyone heard the sound and looked back, Liang Dong was hiding in the door of the hall where the class was held, poking out his small head tremblingly to look at Hei Xuanyi.
Hei Xuanyi had a sullen face.
Wu Ruo elbowed him: "He's calling you."
Hei Xuanyi saw Wu Ruo signaling him to respond to the child with his eyes, he couldn't help but frowned, and nodded to Liang Dong.
Liangdong's small face quickly burst into a smile, and quickly ran to Hei Xuanyi with small steps, carefully pulled Hei Xuanyi's sleeve and said: "Father, today the teacher and nurse taught me to recognize a lot of characters."
Hei Xuanyi lowered his face: "Who told you that I am your father.
"Mother said it." Liang Dong noticed that Hei Xuanyi's expression was wrong, his smile froze slightly, and he withdrew his hand in fear.
Wu Ruo quietly squeezed Hei Xuanyi's back, signaling him not to be so aggressive with the child.
Hei Xuanyi raised his hand and rubbed Liang Dong's little head, and said softly, "Go back to eat."
"Okay." Liang Dong was ecstatic and ran outside the hall.
Hei Xuanyi turned back to Wu Ruo and said, "He is not my son.
"I know." Wu Ruo sighed softly, "I asked you to answer him just now. First, I didn't want to make the children sad. Second, if you keep letting them hang around, things won't make progress, and you won't be able to find out who is behind the scenes."
This is not without reason. Hei Xuanyi nodded: "I know how to do it."
Wu Ruo snorted coldly: "I only allow you to get close to the child, but I don't allow you to get close to the child's mother. If you dare to get closer to within ten feet, hum... hum... I won't be so easy to talk to."
Seeing that he was finally jealous, Hei Xuanxu's mood immediately improved: "No."
"That's about the same." Wu Ruo asked the child, "How do you get along with Liang Dong?"
Eggy pouted and said, "He doesn't like to talk."
Xiao Xiaodao: "He is earnestly learning to read every day, and he is careful in doing things, not daring to provoke us."
Wu Ruo guessed that Nian Xia Ding had warned the child.
Hei Xuanyi put his arms around his shoulders: "Let's go to have lunch, and then I will take a rest with you."
"it is good."
On the other side, Liang Dong happily ran to the room where Nian Xia lived: "Mother, mother."
Nian Xia heard her son's voice and hurried out: "Liang Dong is back, how about studying with the teacher today?"
"I talked to my father just now." Liang Dong said excitedly.
Nian Xia said happily, "Really? What did you tell him?"
"I told my father that I learned a lot today."
"Then did he praise you?"
Liang Dong put away her smile and shook her head, then said happily: "He touched my head and told me to come back early for dinner.
"He should have admitted that you are his child." Nianxia was very satisfied with Hei Xuanyi's reaction: "Next time I see your father, I will ask him to have dinner with him, and then..."
She whispered in the child's ear several times.
Liang Dong nodded obediently.
After class that afternoon, he specially waited for Hei Xuanyi, who had been resting with Wu Ruo for an afternoon, to come out, and then asked cautiously, "Father, can I have dinner with you?"
An invisible look of displeasure flashed in Hei Xuanyi's eyes, and he nodded: "You will stay here for dinner tonight."
Liang Dong said happily, "Thank you, father."
During the meal, Liangdong sat opposite Hei Xuanyi, looking enviously at Dandan sitting on Hei Xuanyi's left and Xiaoxiao sitting in front of Hei Xuanyi, if only he could sit beside his father up.
He sneaked a glance at Wu Ruo who was sitting on the right side of Hei Xuanyi, and thought of Wu Ruo's attitude towards him and his mother, he couldn't help shrinking his neck. The witch who was invited to eat together saw Liang Dong for the first time, and said in doubt : "Xiao Ruo, this kid is..."
Wu Ruo briefly introduced: "His name is Liang Dong."
"Oh." The hag immediately understood that this was not Hei Xuanyi's child, and felt relieved for Wu Ruo.
Liang Dong felt that the hag's face was very scary, and shrank her body in fear.
Wu Ruo observed the hag's face and said with a smile: "Grandma, your lips and nose seem to have grown some flesh, and the scars have faded a little."
The hag lightly held her cheeks, couldn't hold back her smile and said, "The regenerative ointment given by Director Lu is very effective. I believe that after a month or so, I will be able to see Xiaotong and the others."
"You have been home for many days, mother and the others are very worried about you, and have sent people to the government many times to inquire about your whereabouts. It can be seen that my mother has treated the 'ghost woman' as a relative. If she knows that you are our grandmother, she must be very happy .”
"Well, I can't wait to see your mother too."
At this time, the eunuchs passed the dishes to the table.
Wu Ruo first picked a piece of chicken for the hag, and then picked a piece of duck for Liang Dong who dared not move his chopsticks: "Just treat this as your home, and pick whatever you want."
Liang Dong carefully picked up the chopsticks, and while picking up the rice, he watched enviously for Hei Xuanyi to pick up the food for Dandan and Xiaoxiao.
If Wu Ruo sees that he doesn't eat the food he brought him, he will stop being a good person.
Hei Xuanyi squinted at Liang Dong, and picked a piece of taro for him.
"Thank you, father." Liang Dong was so happy that he quickly ate the taro into his mouth: "It's delicious."
"Eat more if it tastes good." Hei Xuanyi said rarely.
After Liang Dong finished eating the taro, he whispered, "This is the first time I have dinner at the same table as my father."
Hei Xuanyi frowned lightly: "You can eat here often in the future.
Liang Dong's eyes brightened: "Then can I bring my mother over for dinner?"
Hei Xuanyi suddenly lowered his face.
Liang Dong noticed that he was unhappy, panting slightly and said aggrievedly: "I want to have dinner with mother and father."
Hei Xuanyi was silent.
"I've never eaten with my mother and father before." Liang Dong said, tears fell from his eyes.
Dandan and Xiaoxiao looked at each other.
Wu Ruo was very upset.
Obviously these words were taught by Nian Xia to the child, so he was angry that Nian Xia used the child again and again.
With a snap, Wu Ruo put down the chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Go home when you're full."
Like a little mouse, Liang Dong shrank her shoulders in fear: "I, I'm full."
He hurriedly put down his chopsticks, slid off the chair, and ran out of the hall.
The hag was puzzled: "Xiao Ruo, this is..."
"It's hard to say, let's eat first." Wu Ruo shook her head helplessly, and continued to eat with chopsticks.
Liang Dong returned to the small palace courtyard, immediately hugged Nian Xia and cried loudly.
"Why are you crying?" Nian Xia quickly picked up the child: "Didn't you eat at father's place? Why did you come back so soon?"
Liang Dong hiccupped and said: "I'll do what Mother told me, and Father, Father, and the Crown Princess will not be happy.
Nian Xia raised the corners of her lips coldly: "Is the Crown Princess unhappy? That's great. The more unhappy he is, the happier I am. I just want him to be at odds with your father."
Liang Dong stopped crying, stared blankly at his mother, suddenly felt that the mother in front of him was very strange to him, and even scared him.
