"You!" Shao Mengying's face was contorted with extreme anger. If she had known, she should have killed them all!

The leader is right. Keeping some people around is just asking for trouble. She's too soft-hearted!

As if all her strength had been drained, Shao Mengying clenched her fists in resentment. Seeing this, her two sons rushed to her side. "Mom, what should we do now? Are we... are we going to run out of food soon?"

"What to do! What to do! Why do you two idiots only know how to ask me what to do? What can we do now! Die! You've enjoyed three years of wealth and luxury, now it's time for you to die with me!" Shao Mengying had completely gone mad.

Upon hearing the word "death," the two sons immediately stood up and kept their distance from her. "We don't want to die! It's fine if Mommy dies alone. We were forced into this! We're not Mommy's biological sons anyway, why should we die with her?"

Shao Mengying got up with a bitter smile, looking at her two heartless sons, so desperate that she even wanted to strangle them with her own hands!

As a member of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, she was bound by strict rules and regulations. The Alliance never allowed any financial entanglements with anyone, let alone leaving behind a child. After all, for people like them who live on the edge of a knife, children are their Achilles' heel.

So after she gave birth, she strangled her own child with her own hands and then got two more children from the black market.

Originally, she only intended to raise them as useless children, but she never expected that these two good-for-nothings would be even more heartless than ghosts!

"Do you think I wanted to be this queen? If I hadn't been forced into a corner, who would choose this path of no return? Just kill me now! Huh? Kill me then? Don't you hate me? Are you satisfied with just a few slaps?"

For Shao Mengying, the endless imprisonment and painful torture were not as easy as being shot dead by Shao Siran!

She knew very well that if she fell into the hands of Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, she would sooner or later become their tool to deal with the leader of the alliance.

So she tried to provoke Shao Siran, but Shao Siran was already indifferent to her self-pity.

Her heart had hardened like stone during the years she spent wandering in the slums. She knew that Shao Mengying wanted to find an easy way to die, but she would never grant her wish.

"Heh, you're quite clever, but death is the easiest thing to do. How could I let you die?" Shao Siran's lips curled into a meaningful smile as she looked down at Shao Mengying, as if she had sentenced her to death.

"Shao Mengying, from today onwards, I sever all ties with you. Your crimes will be dealt with fairly according to the laws of Y Country. As for those you have harmed, if they want revenge, it has nothing to do with me. Also, I am Queen Denise, not Shao Siran! As for your other uses... ha, that's up to Gu Momo to decide!"

Upon hearing Shao Siran's words, Shao Mengying realized that this was even more despairing than a death sentence, and she rushed over frantically:

"Shao Siran, I'm going to kill you! Come and kill me! Point the gun at my head! Why aren't you shooting yet..."

Before she could even touch Shao Siran, the soldiers rushed up and pinned her to the ground, making Shao Mengying feel like a fish on a chopping board.

Shao Siran's cold voice rang out clearly: "Take her away and await further instructions!"

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the soldiers pulled Shao Mengying away, along with her two sons.

"Shao Siran, you bitch! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!!" Shao Mengying cursed viciously, her voice growing softer as the soldiers led her further and further away.

But as she passed Gu Momo and Li Tianyi, she suddenly stopped, her cold, piercing eyes like sharp blades.

"Li Tianyi, you're really ruthless!"

Li Tianyi's thin lips curled into a ruthless smile. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile in his eyes carried the chill of winter.

Then, he gently used the gun in his hand to lift Shao Mengying's chin, his eyes looking as if he were looking at a dead person:

"I've waited so many years for revenge against the Li family; if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for loving the wrong person."

"I would never betray the Li family, let alone anyone else. Besides, the Li family and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance have always been mortal enemies!"

After saying that, his deep voice was devoid of any emotion: "Take him away!"

The subordinates quickly took Shao Mengying away, leaving behind countless people from the Liuli Pavilion and Li Tianyi's men. The royal guards abandoned their armor and weapons, preparing to surrender. Gu Momo also took a rare moment to look at Li Tianyi: "Uncle, congratulations on escaping!"

Her face was delicate and charming, her exquisite cheeks exuding tenderness, and the sharpness she had shown in front of everyone was nowhere to be seen.

Li Tianyi's dark eyes gazed intently at Gu Momo, a hint of amusement creeping into them: "Yanyan said you've already called her 'Mom,' but you're still calling me 'Uncle'? What, don't you want to call me 'Dad'?"

Gu Momo's face flushed red, and she quickly and happily changed her address: "Hello, Dad! Welcome back to your freedom!"

As she spoke, she casually put her hands behind her back and asked with a smile, "By the way, Dad, judging from your tone just now, it seems that your relationship with Mom has recovered quite well. So when are you planning to go back to the capital with Mom?"

Gu Momo would be overjoyed if Li Zhanting's parents could reconcile!

They have gone through countless hardships to get to where they are today, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them a perfect couple.

"Hmm, I still need to discuss this with her." Li Tianyi smiled, his eyes revealing an unreadable expression.

Everyone around him seemed to know that Mo Yan and he had a very close relationship, but why...?

If this relationship is so important to him, why has he completely forgotten about it?

Thinking of this, Li Tianyi felt as if a thin mist had been shrouded in his chest, revealing an indescribable sadness.

Seeing that the matter with the royal family was almost resolved, Gu Momo quickly went to the side and picked up her phone to make a quick call to Li Zhanting, but the call seemed to be hung up as soon as it went through.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Gu Momo's heart, and even her brows furrowed slightly.

Li Zhanting never hung up on her; even at the most important times, he would always send her a message. But this time…

She narrowed her eyes and quickly beckoned Li Mo over: "Immediately send some people to contact Li Zhanting's side. Notify me as soon as there is any news. Go now!"

"Yes, Master!"
