C256 (2/2)
Seeing that Chang Xie had agreed, a trace of pain flashed through her eyes. She shook her head heavily and said, ”Mistress, I'm not ruthless. I really have no other choice. He's my enemy, and I have a blood feud with him. I must kill him!”
”What enmity do I have with you?” Xuan Ye asked harshly.
”Master, I'm sorry, but you fell today because I tied a hidden thread between the tables. I know that you may lose your child, but Master, the Emperor of Qing did not even have a child left. He has killed so many of our family members, yet he has never once frowned. I hate him. He has regretted everything to me!”
”Erqi, don't do this! You... How could you be like this... Tell me why? Tell me, why did you assassinate the Emperor? ” Chang Xie often promised to endure the pain as he asked.
”Mistress, I know that you are a good person. Do you think that the Emperor of Qing does not cherish you because he is a good person?” Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you who I am, but that I failed … I didn't succeed, I didn't kill the emperor. Since that's the case, why should I implicate others … Master... I owe you in this life, but I'll pay you back in the next. ” She slowly raised her blade and said, ”Mistress, right now, I only hope that you can be safe. I don't want to kill you, I really don't!” As she spoke, tears began to flow from her eyes.
Seeing that she was raising her arm higher and higher, he often agreed and exclaimed, ”Erqi, you don't want to!? Don't do something stupid! ”
She just looked at Chang with tears in her eyes and a smile of acceptance … The tip of the blade had turned towards him!
”Don't die! ”Don't die!” ”Ah!” Xuan Ye shouted in panic as well. He turned to Xuan Ye and gave him a disdainful look. ”Don't think you're amazing. I failed because I don't have time. If you give me enough time, I'll definitely take your dog life!” After finishing his words, he stabbed the dagger into Zhang Xuan's chest, causing him to faint on the spot.
Rong'er's eyes reddened a little. She couldn't say that she was in that mood, but she felt that she was a pitiful woman. ”Your Majesty, she was just instilled with hatred for you since she was a child. She was just used as a laborer by others. ”Yes.”
Xuan Ye nodded and said nothing. He lowered his head and looked at the table, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head and said, ”Rong'er …” Actually, I was thinking that with her current identity, if she wants to assassinate me, she doesn't have the right conditions. If she stays in the palace for a few more years, she might even be able to assassinate me! Do you know why she said it was too late? ”
Rong'er shook her head slightly.
Xuan Ye said bitterly, ”I have told you before, I have always wondered why Yaksha would fight back. Last year, I beat them all to a pulp, and they all knew that I was the one who destroyed Yaksha's plans, and now I know that it was I who destroyed their plans. Yaksha must have been painstakingly run by them for a very long time, and if I hadn't attacked Yaksha last year, they might have still waited for Wurantouya to find the best opportunity to assassinate me, and suddenly take advantage of it. ”However, I suddenly sent troops to attack Yaksha last year, causing them to lose their position that they have been operating for many years. Thus, this year, they will only retaliate as they were waiting for Ulan Tooya's assassination. So, she will say that it is too late.”
Rong'er was shocked. ”Your majesty, chenqie really didn't expect that you would be able to survive.” She really hadn't thought that the great clear sky son would also have enemies lurking around her.
Xuan Ye forced a smile and said, ”It's hard to tell friend from foe. I already understood this when Sanfan was in a state of chaos. Also, Wulan Tuya often looks for a good person. Although he has been hiding something, I'm glad she didn't turn the tables on him.”
”Your Majesty, being loyal to a noble is a dilemma. If she was filial, she would have tried to assassinate Your Majesty together with Ulan Tuya. However, she chose to be loyal. Your Majesty, Toya has been by your side for more than ten years. If she had second thoughts towards you, she would have made a move long ago.” Rong'er said softly.
”I am not an unconscious monarch. How could I not understand? The restriction is only temporary. I will not pursue her crime of deceiving me once the matter of Wu Lantu Ya has been resolved.” Xuan Ye said softly.
”Your majesty the Emperor!” The young life of Ulan Tooya ended just like that. She had been buried by hatred since she had the sense to do so, and she had ended her own life in a desperate way.
In this choice of loyalty and filial piety, she had personally witnessed her own kin die for the sake of their family. Although Rong'er did not blame the emperor for his many years of understanding of her, because at that time, when she was in the palace, Bulny and the others did not care about her life or death.
Furthermore, he often promised that a child of the Emperor, in this palace, would there be anything more precious than this? Her child was gone, her palace maid was a thorn in the side, and her own life and death was in doubt. All of this … is destined to be a night of tragedy...
