C131 (2/2)

Mo Rui's eyes were filled with endless pain. She reached out her hand to hold the child in her palm. The corners of her lips hooked up into a strange smile, her eyes filled with despair.

She looked at Chunyu Hao without blinking.

”This is my child, and it's yours as well. Don't you want it? Come and take it, take it with your own hands …”

Chunyu Hao was terrified. He resisted the urge to vomit and ran for his life.

The steward had invited a midwife and a doctor, and from the information he had gathered from the midwives and doctors, it seemed that the situation wasn't good.

”Your Highness.”

”What's going on?”

”The Madam can't take it anymore.”

”Dead?” Chunyu Hao saw the butler shake his head and nod.

”I'm still not down yet, but I probably won't be able to endure tonight.” The housekeeper didn't have any feelings for the new wife who had just joined the family for less than a year. She was just a girl after all. Her life was given to her by the prince. Thus, when he said those words, he did not feel the slightest bit of pity for the person who was about to lose his life.

Chunyu Hao was still in shock. He thought for a while and said: ”Since you can't live on, then what are you waiting for? Get someone to carry her out of the palace and leave her at the cemetery! What are you standing there for, go quickly! ”

Wild animals roamed the cemetery all year round, and if they really left them there, not even a single skeleton would be left.

What Chunyu Hao wanted was for her to die without even leaving a corpse! The scene from before left a lingering fear in his mind even now.

The butler signaled to his subordinates and they immediately went to do what they needed to do.

When the person in charge of throwing away Mo Rui's corpse carried her out and left her at the cemetery, someone took a breath, ”She's not dead yet.”

”Here, after tonight, even if she can live, she won't. Didn't you see the steward's eyes? They just wanted her life. ”

”Ai!” The two of them let out a sigh, but they still threw Mo Rui down the hill.

Hearing the news, the pen in Jin Yu Lie's hand paused, ”Go take a look, is there any hope for that person?”

He and his men were standing on the hill when the smell of blood and rotting bones assaulted their nostrils.

The smoke was so strong that it made people nauseous. Jin Yu Lie couldn't help but frown.

An Shuang said, ”Master, please step back a little. This subordinate will go down to take a look.”

”Alright.”

With a few quick movements, Dark Frost arrived at the bottom of the hill.

It was easy to find Mo Rui's body, the one with the thickest smell of blood.

When Dark Frost lifted his eyes, he heard an abnormal sound. His eyes turned cold as he saw that four to five wild dogs also smelled blood. If these wild dogs really were to eat Mu Rui, then it would be too late.

The Dark Frost moved like a bolt of lightning, and the five concealed weapons instantly flew out of his hand, stabbing towards the wild dogs at almost the same time.

The wild dog felt a twinge of pain as it hurriedly ran away.

In just a few steps, Dark Frost arrived in front of Mu Lengxin. Her chest was still heaving weakly, yet she was still alive. Her eyes were wide open, filled with an inexhaustible unwillingness.

It was because of this unwillingness that she was able to hold on to her last breath.

She could only wait for Jin Yu Lie to have her saved.

When she saw that the person who had saved her was the famous and influential Duke of Jin, she was extremely shocked. She had never thought that she would still be alive.

Jin Yu Lie glanced at her indifferently, ”You're still alive, and not dead.”

”Why don't you let me die?” She was only fourteen years old, but her eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes. Having walked the edge of life and death in one night, it was impossible for her to not grow up.

”Wanting to die is easy, but do you want revenge?”

When he said the word 'revenge', it was so easy and relaxed, as if he was saying that the tea in his hand was very mellow.

To take revenge, he would have to use someone else's life and blood, but in his eyes, these things were nothing more than a breeze and a clear moon. Mo Rui looked at the black silk clothing he wore. It was so black, concealing all of his emotions. It was so black that it seemed to be the product of endless blood.

Her figure was thin and weak, her face devoid of any color. However, she used an incomparably resolute tone and said, ”I want revenge!”

This kind of determination only caused Yu Lie to glance at him. His voice did not have any emotion, ”Fine, become my shadow, become my slave. I will avenge you in the best way you can think of!” From today onwards, you are called Ye! ”

Just like that, Mo Rui became one of Jin Yu Lie's subordinates. From then on, she was free of all ties, cold-blooded and ruthless, becoming a powerful expert in the shadows.

Leaves did all this for revenge, only to repay Jin Yu Lie.

But when she knew that Mu Wan was going to the Northern Kingdom, she had asked for Jin Yu Lie's help.

”I can go to the Northern Kingdom for you. Even if you lose your life, you will still obtain the head of the Northern Kingdom's King.” ”But I hope you don't involve your sister.”

Ever since that day in Tianning Town, she had found out that the elder sister Wan Yun that she had followed since she was young hadn't abandoned her, so she didn't want her to be involved in any more danger, and judging from Jin Yu Lie's attitude towards Mu Wan, she also knew that it was extremely good. She didn't understand why Yu Lie wanted Mu Wan to enter this muddy water.

”You don't need to understand. You just need to remember to protect her.”

This was the last order Jin Yulie gave her. If they returned safely after the Northern Kingdom, he would let her leave the Umbra.

But now, Mu Wan Yun was lost. Leaves only thought of the city, but when she looked around, she couldn't take a single step. Endless darkness surged from all directions, and she completely fainted.
