Chapter 1605 -1598: The Unveiling of the Truth

She had always, always wronged Rong Yun!

Li Yunshu…

Qin Ge looked back at her with regret and fury, “You heartless beast! You…”

Such a heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog!

She loved Li Yunshu dearly for so many years, yet she actually murdered her!

“Mother, if you had always despised Rong Yun, I would never have hurt you… but your closeness with Rong Yun and her bastard child means you’re my enemy!” Li Yunshu said fiercely with furrowed brows, “Just like the Empress Dowager, that old hag, she insists on protecting Rong Yun, how could I not kill her?”

“You killed my mother!”

Qin Ge screamed.

The door of the meditation room was already closed by Chun Xing, and Qin Ge’s nanny had also been killed by Chun Xing’s hands.

Qin Ge glared at Li Yunshu with hatred, “You wretch! You will not die a good death! Ah—”

Li Yunshu ruthlessly plunged the knife into her body, her eyes carrying a hint of contempt, “Mother, I promise you’ll see, the one who won’t die a good death will be your daughter-in-law and grandson!”

“You…”

Qin Ge closed her eyes, her gaze filled with a trace of apology and helplessness.

Rong Yun ah… how could she ever outmatch such a ruthless and vicious Li Yunshu!

“Mother! Mother…”

Qin Ge could no longer hear Rong Yun’s cries.

Rong Yun held her child tight; she would rather die first than let Li Yunshu harm Shunshun!

But as Li Yunshu approached her, taking away her child, she could no longer see anything clearly.

She didn’t know what controlled her, her thoughts, her actions, none under her control; her hand was forced to hold something cold, and someone taught her to move it up and down, as if she was stabbing something.

And so she did, unconsciously stabbing, until a force threw her to the ground.

“It hurts so much!” Rong Yun burst into tears instantly.

“Rong Yun! You lunatic!”

Qin Muyan’s furious roar resounded in her ears as he rushed over to Rong Yun, gripping her jaw with his eyes bloodshot in anger, “You killed my mother! Why did you do this! In what way did my mother ever wrong you!”

“Your Majesty, mother… mother died so miserably!”

The weeping voice of Li Yunshu pierced Rong Yun.

Rong Yun opened her eyes, her mind momentarily clear, she looked at her hands, “Ah!!”

In her hands was a knife covered in blood, and bits of flesh clung to it, sticky and clinging to her hands…

“It’s my mother’s flesh… No!”

Rong Yun shook her head in collapse, “I didn’t… I didn’t kill mother! I didn’t murder her!”

“You didn’t?”

Qin Muyan lifted her from the ground, pointing at Qin Ge’s body, “I saw it with my own eyes, you stabbing my mother with a knife!! The royal guards reported… I simply couldn’t believe it.”

Qin Muyan’s lips trembled, tears of hatred falling down his cheeks.

He couldn’t believe it… he simply couldn’t!

“She is the mother who raised me for more than twenty years! The person in this world who loved me the most! Rong Yun!!!”

Qin Muyan gripped Rong Yun’s shoulders, bellowing fiercely, screaming so hard he was nearly hoarse, “How could you… how dare you kill my mother!”

“I didn’t… Qin Muyan, believe me, I truly didn’t, I don’t know what happened.”

Rong Yun hanged her head low, crying helplessly; she truly didn’t understand what had happened. She had just closed her eyes for a moment, and when they opened, the knife was in her hand, her mother was dead…

She became the murderer of her mother!

“Qin Muyan, I would not kill my mother! Mother, she came to visit me and the child!”

“I know!”

Qin Muyan fiercely pushed her away, his finger trembling with hatred pointed at her, “If mother hadn’t worried about the child and come to see you… how could she have fallen victim to your poison! Fallen into your hands!”

He looked on coldly, Qin Yu was still beside Qin Ge’s body!

Qin Ge had been looking after the child even unto death!

It was precisely during this moment of gazing upon the child that she had been poisoned!

“Rong Yun… you’ve disappointed me thoroughly! I will not investigate this case for you anymore! Even if Wei Mingze dies countless times, I shall not forgive you again!”

Qin Muyan, overcome with rage, turned around and carried away the corpse of Qin Ge, ordering the execution of Rong Yun.

It was Xie Qingyou who, risking her own life, secretly protected Rong Yun, thus sparing her and her child from harm.

However, within two hours, this matter was discovered by Li Yunshu, who dragged Xie Qingyou away and also seized Qin Yu.

“Shunshun!”

Rong Yun, as if driven mad, rushed out, “Give Shunshun back to me! Return Shunshun to me!”

“Return him to you? A bastard child, does he also deserve to live in this world? For his sake, you did not hesitate to kill your own mother, so sinister and ruthless, to allow you and your son to live well, would be a disservice to the spirit of mother in heaven!”

Li Yunshu coldly curled her lips and turned to throw the child into the back mountain.

“No! Don’t take away my child——”

“Return my child to me!!!”

Rong Yun’s tragic cries echoed across the sky above the temple in the back mountains.

Alas, no one came to listen to her anymore, and as she was drugged, she became increasingly maddened.

The doors of the imperial study had been closed for a long time, and those who pleaded for Rong Yun were all severely punished by Qin Muyan.

During Qin Ge’s funeral, Qin Muyan knelt for several days, his frail body eventually fainting away.

In his dreams, he was still muttering Rong Yun’s name, “Why… Jingjing…”

Why didn’t she even spare the mother he loved most?

What exactly must he do to be Enough for her?

After Qin Muyan fainted, Li Yunshu took him back to Fengqi Palace.

She attended him as he washed, summoned the court physician to treat him, personally fed him medicine, and when sitting by the bed, she let Qin Muyan rest his head on her lap.

The treasuring look in her eyes moved her even.

She silently shed tears, whispering softly, “Emperor… There will come a day, my lord, when your servant here serves you, your servant has finally waited for it.”

She had killed so many, the late empress, the Empress Dowager, Qin Ge…

Her grandpa even deliberately provoked conflicts between Prince Zhao and the imperial court, pushing him to rebel, all for the sake of the present, allowing Qin Muyan to ascend to the throne, and for her to become the empress, accompanying him by his side.

It was such a difficult journey to get here!

“Emperor, your servant will serve you, certainly no worse than Rong Yun, from now on… You will never again be troubled by her!”

Li Yunshu lowered her head and kissed his forehead.

Hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

She had finally, completely cut off Qin Muyan’s love for Rong Yun!

From this day forward, Qin Muyan was hers!

——

In the mountain forest, the wild wind howled, the sometimes confused and sometimes lucid narrative of Rong Yun silenced Su Yingxue for a long while.

She held Rong Yun’s wrist, which was now a handful of skinny bones.

After taking her pulse, she spoke in a low voice, “There is residual toxicity of Qianzheng San in her body, a drug that muddles the mind and causes one to lose sanity. With this medicine, someone with intent could do a lot of things.”

Su Yingxue looked up at Chu Yihan.

Chu Yihan slightly furrowed his brows, “First cure her. She must be lucid in order to investigate and clarify the whole truth about everything. This is very important for Qin Muyan, and for the entire Great Wei Dynasty.”
