Chapter 568 It was your parents who caused my child's tragic death.

Under Li Qingluo's deep yet icy gaze, the King of Qin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"That Miao witchcraft is utter bullshit, it's all a bunch of deceptive tricks!"

Li Qinglu gave Sha San an impatient look.

Sha San swiftly cut off the King of Qin's own robe, shredded it into a ball, and forcefully stuffed it into the King of Qin's mouth, silencing him completely.

"I already think you're being a bit too noisy."

"But don't rush, I'll give you a chance to speak."

"But now, shut your stinking mouth!"

"Otherwise, I'll cut out your tongue and serve it as a cold dish for the Fourth Prince to eat with his wine!"

The King of Qin was filled with hatred and anger.

Its whole body was struggling and twisting incessantly.

But the rope binding him only tightened more and more... until finally, his chest began to feel tight and uncomfortable, and he dared not move again before stopping.

What exactly is she trying to do?

Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingjiu were the first to sense something, but both found it unbelievable.

She actually doubted the royal bloodline?

Is this her ultimate goal today?

"My lords, may I have some of your blood?"

Sha Wu walked over and asked in a rather respectful and polite manner.

Zhang Tingjiu and Yang Qilang looked surprised.

Ask them?

Given this situation, they couldn't simply refuse.

The two had no choice but to bite the bullet and cut off their robes and fingers, then hand them over.

Not only that, several of the "kill" characters also took blood-stained robes and presented them to Li Qingluo.

Li Qinglu threw the two pieces into the burning brazier.

The flames instantly turned green again.

These people are indeed not related by blood.

So it's not surprising that the flames turned green.

Everyone believed this method; it did indeed have some merit.

Until the flames in the brazier suddenly turned yellow.

"They are blood relatives! But not direct blood relatives!"

"Is this the King of Qin and his two princes?"

"The blood of the Sixth Prince has already been tested, so this is the Fourth Prince!"

The speakers were Gong Sanlang and Xie Liulang.

The two of them were already completely engrossed in watching.

Moreover, their blood-stained robes were taken and burned.

Now, seeing yellow all makes them quite excited.

It finally changed color, how could it not be strange?

However, when Li Qingluo slowly raised the only remaining cloth in her hand, everyone's expression changed drastically!

What Li Qingluo is holding is the King of Qin's purple forging material!

So, what was burning in the brazier just now was the Chu Emperor's dragon robe?

Li Qingluo: "Everyone just saw it with their own eyes."

“Young master, I took two pieces of the emperor’s blood-stained dragon robe.”

"I've already experienced it once with the Sixth Prince."

"Therefore, when I had only one piece of bloody broken material left from the King of Qin, the only one that could be burned was His Majesty the Emperor."

"The only blood that could produce color from burning at the scene, along with His Majesty the Emperor's blood, is that of the Fourth Prince, who was also just burned."

"This color, Your Majesty, what is your explanation?"

The King of Qin widened his eyes and made "uh-uh" sounds.

Li Qinglu raised her hand: "Never mind, don't say anything yet."

"I'd rather know what His Majesty the Emperor is feeling right now."

"The son I've doted on for over twenty years turns out to be not my biological son."

"Tsk."

"Is it fate playing tricks, or is someone doing this on purpose?"

Kill one and remove the plug from the mouth of the Chu Emperor.

The Chu Emperor roared furiously, "Examine—"

"Test again!!!"

His eyes were bloodshot and staring, as if blood would burst out at any moment.

The fourth prince was hanging from the tree, looking equally shocked.

He wanted to shout, to roar angrily, to say that it was all a lie.

But his mouth was also firmly sealed shut.

Jinhua personally guarded him.

Taking his blood was a very simple and brutal process.

He pinched Zongzheng Wuxie's hand wound directly, letting blood drip from it again, which would soon stain his clothes red once more.

The King of Qin's forging materials and Zongzheng Wuxie's fresh blood were thrown into the brazier together.

With a loud "boom."

The flames turned a deep, blood-red color once again.

Everyone stared in shock.

"The Fourth Prince, could he be the son of the King of Qin?"

"Heavens! That Consort Ning is far too audacious!!"

Upon hearing this, a figure stumbled out from behind the stone.

"No!"

"Impossible!"

"This can't be real!"

"Your Majesty, I did not, I have never done such a thing—"

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding."

"How could I possibly do anything to betray Your Majesty?"

"It's all a trick they played, it must all be a trick they pulled!"

"Wu Xie is truly your son, Your Majesty—"

Consort Ning suddenly emerged from behind the rock.

She lay on the ground, crying her heart out, unable to believe what she had just witnessed.

Zongzheng Xingyao couldn't stop her, and could only shake his head apologetically at Li Qingluo from behind the rock.

She was truly astonished when she first saw Consort Ning!

Only then did he realize that Nangong Qingluo's abilities were far greater than he had thought!

When was Consort Ning removed from the palace?

Even he himself was unaware of it.

After all, he had practically been with her for the past few days!

Yet, her people managed to bring Consort Ning here quietly as well.

Just now, Consort Ning witnessed with her own eyes how the Fourth Prince's words turned yellow with Zongzheng Langri's, and how they turned red with Prince Qin's.

She almost went crazy.

That's why I'm crying so uncontrollably now.

"You bitch!"

"I've doted on you for so many years, and this is how you treat me?!"

"You actually had an affair with my own brother, and you actually kept your bastard child in the palace for so many years, allowing me to favor him for so many years!!"

"I even considered whether to pass the throne to my fourth son!"

"So, it turns out you were the ones who deceived me, the most deserving of death, your whole family!!"

"I will kill you all—"

Few men in the world could endure such humiliation.

Especially considering that the Chu Emperor used to dote on Zongzheng Wuxie so much.

They turned a blind eye to many of the evil deeds he committed.

Although he had the intention of training the crown prince, Zongzheng Wuxie was becoming more and more outstanding, so how could he not have considered changing the heir?

In the end, this was nothing more than the greatest humiliation they inflicted upon themselves.

Enraged, the Chu Emperor charged forward with all his might, aiming a powerful blow at Consort Ning.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo reacted quickly enough.

She stepped forward and snatched Consort Ning away.

Sha Yi quickly pinned the Chu Emperor to the ground.

"I want to kill them!"

"Release me!!"

"I will personally skin those three alive and turn them into human skin figurines—"

Li Qingluo: "Enough!"

"The truth has not yet come to light, and you are already eager to kill someone."

"Who can you kill now?"

"Shut your mouth first!"

Li Qingluo felt she had had enough of the noise.

They had the Chu Emperor's mouth gagged again.

Only then did they help the still-shaken Consort Ning to her feet.

"You don't need to be alarmed."

"You're not the one in the wrong."

"Twenty-three years ago, there was a witch named Zuliya in Miao territory with Western Region blood. At a young age, she became the leader of Yun Gu, one of the four major sects in Miao territory."

"She may have saved the King of Qin's life, or perhaps they met and fell in love in Nan'an City."

"She once secretly gave birth to a child for the King of Qin."

"The world heard that the child was a daughter."

“In Miao territory, daughters are much more valuable than sons. This is because only women can inherit the Miao witchcraft and sorcery, and only women can inherit the sect.”

"But strangely, after she brought her daughter back to Miao territory, she secretly drowned the child herself in the swift-flowing river."

"Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet she killed her own daughter!"

Why is that?

“A few years ago, Zuliya went to Daliang. In Daliang, she colluded with the Crown Prince, curried favor with Princess Qinyu, and even stirred up trouble in the Pei family, almost causing the entire Pei family to be completely wiped out and cut off from their lineage.”

"Just to force the Pei family to write a military treatise and send it back to the Great Chu, and for whom?"

"After she committed many evil deeds in Daliang, it was learned from the Sixth Prince that the people she truly served were the Prince of Qin and the Fourth Prince, Zongzheng Wuxie."

"But if she was still loyal to the King of Qin, why did she kill their daughter with her own hands in the first place?"

"Unless there is one possibility."

"This baby girl is not her biological child at all!"

After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she looked at Consort Ning, who had collapsed into her arms.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"The baby girl you gave birth to should have been a pampered princess."

"But she was switched at birth. They stole your daughter out of the palace and killed her, while their child was sent to you."

"Over the years, he has enjoyed all the riches and honors that a princess should have enjoyed."

"In fact, to prevent you from having any more princes, they poisoned you with a curse, making it impossible for you to have any more princes or princesses in this lifetime."

"In that case, all your connections, energy, and even your heart will be devoted to this fake prince."

"Over the years, the Prince of Qin has worked hard to promote the Fourth Prince and helped him do all sorts of bad things. Even Zuliya went to his side to help him kill people, help him solve his troubles, and even risked going to Daliang to try to extract the Pei family's military books because of a word he said."

“Your Highness, they’re crawling all over you, sucking your blood, and then throwing that filthy hat back at you.”

Don't you understand?

Consort Ning understood.

She understood everything!

"I was supposed to have a daughter, a princess?"

"But she was switched at birth, and then killed?"

"And all these years, the child I've cherished and pampered is actually a thief's child!?"

“They took advantage of my favor, and of my desire to give birth to my own child… to steal my child!”

Consort Ning didn't even glance at Emperor Chu.

Because she no longer needed to explain to the Chu Emperor.

She turned to look at the King of Qin.

Then she turned to look at the fourth prince.

Consort Ning screamed in anguish, "Is all of this really true?!"

"Is what she said the truth?"

"You are not my child at all!!"

"My child... should have been a princess!"

"It was your parents who caused my child's tragic death!!"

"I'm going to kill you all—"

In a fit of extreme despair and rage, Consort Ning charged toward the King of Qin.

She pulled the sword from the body of the guard beside the King of Qin.

Then he thrust his sword fiercely at the King of Qin—

The long sword pierced through the King of Qin.

He bled painfully.

He looked down at the sword stuck in his stomach.

Consort Ning personally removed the gag from his mouth.

"Thief!"

"What else do you have to say?!"
