Chapter 135 (1/2)

What, You Want Me to Kill the Emperor?

“I don’t believe it. Qin furen looks so kind ah.”

But soon, Nan Xun quickly slapped herself on the face.1

Qin furen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, “Yao’er, now the Qin family has become the target of the public. Originally, Xianwang was more involved with the Qin family, but now there’s less movement.”

Nan Xun’s eyes twitched. Xianwang really wanted to lean on the big tree of the Qin family.

Qin furen earnestly said, “Yao’er, this tyrant’s natural disposition is cruel and bloody, he carries out a despotic rule. He isn’t the master of this dynasty. Although my Qin family is loyal, they aren’t blindly loyal. Do you know what mother means?”

Nan Xun was still in a daze, but Qin furen had already put a packet of powder in her hand and lowered her voice: “Put this powder into the tyrant’s meal and give it to him for ten days.”

Nan Xun was so scared that she almost couldn’t hold it. “Mom, do you want me …to commit regicide?”

Qin furen replied, “Yao’er, it’s not poison. It’s just medicine that will slowly paralyze him. Your grandfather and the first emperor fought for this kingdom together. That kingdom can’t be ruined by the tyrant’s hands like this. Your brother, mother and father believes that Xianwang should be the master of this dynasty and it should be handed over to him.

Nan Xun’s mouth twitched, this was no different from poison. It’s a wonder how Xianwang gave the Qin family the waters of oblivion2 for the Qin family to make such a decision.

Her mother was forcing her to make a decision. On one hand, she had supreme glory and was pampered by the tyrant. On the other hand, she was still a member of her big Qin family. If she chooses her family, the tyrant will be finished, but if she doesn’t, the Qin family will perish.

What Nan Xun doubts now was whether Yanmo Han knew whether the Qin family had already allied with Xianwang’fu. If he did, why did he let her have more contact with the Qin family?

Is this Yanmo Han’s test?

Thinking of this possibility, Nan Xun’s whole body went rigid. She asked little eight whether the big boss left a spy here and if they could hear her conversation with her mother and would report it back to the big boss’s ear?

Little eight rightfully replied: Yes ah, you’re asking a stupid question.3

Nan Xun was so frightened that she pushed the powder back into her mother’s hand. “Mother, the emperor treats me so well that I can’t do what you ask.”

Qin furen pushed the powder back. “Yao’er, take this powder first. Mother doesn’t want you to make a decision right away. It’s not too late to make a decision after you think about it.”

Nan Xun felt that they were rudely pushing and pulling others,4 thus she accepted this medicine powder.

But as soon as she received the powder, her mother immediately threw another bombshell.

Her mother suddenly said, “Yao’er, mother is afraid of upsetting you and didn’t want to tell you, but she really doesn’t want you to be coerced by that tyrant. He’s just a heartless man.”

With a sigh, she looked at Nan Xun painfully and said, “The tyrant gave you infertile soup. You will never be a mother in your life.”

“Mother, what did you say?” Nan Xun was stunned at first, then immediately widened her eyes in shock.

Qin furen patted her on the shoulder. “Yao’er, it’s mother who’s sorry for you. If mother had insisted on keeping you out of the palace, you won’t be like this now, alas…”5

When she left, Nan Xun couldn’t return to her senses and quickly asked little eight, “How does my mother know about this?”
