Although Yin Hong used some means to become the emperor, he had to say that his own abilities were also quite outstanding. When he discovered that Yun Lang's opinions would have an impact on the government, he decided to get rid of Yun Lang's scourge.

But Yun Lang was not a good person to be able to survive today. He started with Yin Hong and falsely accused Yin Hong of having an entanglement with a palace maid. How could Xu Qing, who had a strong self-esteem, accept this insult? He decided to secretly execute Yin Hong. But whenever Xu Yan's innocent and tender little face was faced, Xu Qing couldn't do anything.

Although Xu Qing did not implement her original plan afterwards, he could not avoid punishment for Yin Hong. In this way, Yin Hong was locked in a dark cave and cursed him that life was worse than death.

Xu Yan frowned and asked, "What curse?"

Yin Hong replied with a wry smile: "She was afraid that I would commit suicide, and she thought it would be cheaper for me. So she asked the witch to curse me that she could not commit suicide, so I would always endure this kind of dark pain. I have to say that your mother has indeed done hard work in this regard."

Xu Yan didn't expect that such a magical spell would really exist in the world. It was the first time she had come into contact with this spell in the bamboo forest of Qingyun Academy. At that time, she just simply thought that the formation was just a fool, until the secret guards around her told her that the spell was plastered in the bamboo forest, so ordinary people could not crack it.

This was the first time she had seen such a powerful spell. If Yin Hong was alone, she could not believe it completely, but she had just seen that scene with her own eyes forcing her to believe it. Yin Hong's sword could not pierce his body, and there seemed to be a barrier in front of his body that others could not see. Others could easily hurt him, but when he was determined to die, he had no choice.

Xu Yan chuckled. Her mother's queen was really studying this kind of issue. This kind of curse was even more terrifying than ending Yin Hong's life with one sword.

"So, Yan'er, I beg you, I beg you to kill me." Yin Hong's painful voice sounded in Xu Yan's ears, making Xu Yan helpless.

She looked away in panic and did not dare to look at him again. She was afraid that she would meet his desperate eyes. She was afraid that she would not be able to resist agreeing to him. Yin Hong's hand trembled and stroked the back of her hand. She could clearly feel the rough patterns in his palm, which was inconsistent with him in her childhood memory.

In my memory, his palm was warm and soft, and his little hands wrapped around her seemed to give her a lifetime of peace. But now, he had become so old that he is now.

She could feel his body decay rapidly, and the long-term absence of sunlight made his body no longer as tall and powerful as before. The man in front of her who once gave her a sense of security was so powerless that he needed to use her power to end his dark life.

Xu Yan's tears fell unconsciously. She held Yin Hong's hand and said softly to him: "Father, can we go home?"

Yin Hong didn't expect Xu Yan to say such words to him. He smiled bitterly: "I can't go back, I can't go back again. From the day when the fire broke out in the Liuli Palace, I was destined to never go back again."

Xu Yan burst into tears after hearing his words. How could she not know what Yin Hong meant? In other people's hearts, Yin Hong is no longer Xu Qing's husband, and he is even less likely Xu Yan's father. The royal husband of Changhuan's prosperous era has died in the fire more than ten years ago. How could he appear in the palace again? The people do not allow it, and the world does not allow it.

Yin Hong has never been able to get out since the day he was locked in this cave. He was forgotten by the world together with this dark cave and has completely become a part of this darkness.

Xu Yan choked and said, "I will buy a house for you in the suburbs of Beijing. In the future, you will live in the house, look at flowers and raise fish. Occasionally, I will visit you in my spare time. We can eat and plant flowers together. As long as you don't give up on yourself, I will not give up on you."

Yin Hong couldn't help but show some longing expression on her face when she listened to her words, but that was just longing. He curled his pale lips and showed a tired smile to Xu Yan: "Yan'er, I came to this world to be Changhuan's princess. Now Changhuan is gone, what am I still doing in this world?"

Xu Yan shook his head desperately and said, "No, it's not like this! That's the idea they forced to give you. You still have me in this world, and I need you! People should never live with other meanings in this world, and people should live for themselves! What they say is just to imprison you, your thoughts, and even want to imprison you in this dark cave!"

Yin Hong did not respond to Xu Yan's words, and he said to Xu Yan on his own: "Yan'er, the fourth palace maids are my people. Your mother probably doesn't know about this, so she put them by your side. I know that you have been unable to let go of them for so many years, and from today on you can rest assured. They will not hurt you, the real master behind them is me. The father just wants to know your situation, just want to protect you."

Under such circumstances, these things are just small things. Xu Yan agreed to follow his words: "Okay, okay! I understand. I will believe them wholeheartedly in the future and will no longer doubt them."

Yin Hong raised his hand, picked up the Ningshuang sword that Xu Yan placed on the ground, and then gently handed it to Xu Yan's hand, with a nostalgic expression on his face: "This is what my master gave it to me when I first learned swords. Later, when I was teaching you to learn swords, I handed it to your hands. Ningshuang is ruthless and there are not many people who can make it recognize its master. I don't have the advantage of using it when I use it, which means that Yan'er is an excellent person."

Then he gently lowered his eyelashes, and the cold light of the frost illuminated half of his face that had not been burned. After being blessed with weather, you can still see how glorious he was. He smiled wryly and said, "Father is not a good father, and Yan'er has suffered so many years in vain. I always knew how you came through so many years, but I couldn't help you at all. I even asked you to endure my bad temper when you were learning sword. Father is here to say sorry to you."

Xu Yan's eyes were filled with panic as he heard his almost parting words. She held Ningshuang's hand and trembled constantly. Then she felt Yin Hong's hand covering the back of her hand. He pushed her hand closer to his heart. Xu Yan tried his best to break his hand away from his palm, but she still watched the sword edge get closer and closer to him.

Xu Yan's tears filled her entire face. She shouted in a collapsed voice, and her desperate voice kept echoing in the valley: "I beg you, I beg you not to die! I beg you to let me go! I don't want to take your life with my own hands!"

Blood dripped from the blade, hitting the dark ground, and blending into the heavy night.

Xu Yan heard Yin Hong's angry voice repeating softly in her ear: "I'm sorry, Yan'er, don't be my child in the next life."
