Chapter 416 Rong An was beaten

Qing Yin's eyes suddenly turned cold as she spoke word by word, "Something happened to them."

"How is that possible?"

Rong An was horrified, "Didn't the housekeeper say..."

"That's what I told him to say."

At that time, she didn't know that her son would go to the mass grave at the instigation of her daughter. She just wanted to hide it from her to prevent her from panicking.

But now, she suddenly stood up, strode forward, grabbed Rong An's collar, and slapped him twice in the face.

"If they fall into Shi Yu's hands, your father might be spared, but your brother will surely be killed like the other secret guards.

Rong An, you killed my son. For your own selfish desires, you killed your brother who treated you like a treasure."

Rong An covered his face and complained, "I didn't do that. It was my brother who wanted to gain experience, so Rong An helped him..."

"You're still lying. If it weren't for your instigation, he wouldn't be so eager to make a contribution."

Qing Yin suddenly roared, "Rong An, you always like to make plans for yourself. I know you must be worried about your father losing power, so you want your brother to step forward so that you can have a new support.

You approached Zhi'an for the same purpose. The fact that I haven't been involved in matters these years doesn't mean that I've become deaf or blind.

Rong An, you are so much like me in the past, selfish, afraid of death, always trying to find the best way out for yourself, but in the end you end up hurting others and yourself.

Now, you have no father or brother to rely on, and the Queen also hates you because of Zhian's disobedience. Rongan, are you satisfied?"

"No, that's not it."

Rong An was in a panic. How could she not have help? "Zhi An, Zhi An will protect me."

She didn't feel sad at all about her father and brother's accident, and her mind was only thinking about her future.

A chill ran up from the soles of her feet. Qing Yin sneered at her, "In the past, your father also said that he would protect me, but I am just a ladder for him to get closer to the Queen.

Outsiders all say that it was me who fell in love with him and made him marry the princess, thus ruining his path to success. But who knows that it was the Song family who set their eyes on the position of the prince consort? Qingwu was arrogant and looked down on the Song family, so they turned their attention to me.

Rong'an, Zhi'an is simple, but never stupid. You have known each other since childhood. He treats you politely but distantly because he has long seen that you have a bad nature and are not of his kind. How could he suddenly make the Queen angry for you?

Zhian is his elder brother's son. His elder brother is so smart, how could his son be stupid?

Zhi'an inherited his elder brother's temperament. He seems to be easy to talk to everyone, but he has a scale in his heart. The one who can truly win his heart must be excellent in all aspects of character.

She knew Rong An very well.

I'm just a pawn of Zhian, but why did Zhian do this?

She couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"What do you mean, mother? Are you saying Zhian is lying to me?"

Qingyin looked at her daughter, whose face was distorted by panic, and suddenly remembered herself many years ago.

At that time, her brother told her that the prince consort was not a good man, but she did not believe it and believed that her brother was prejudiced against the prince consort.

Even when her brother presented her with evidence that the Song family wanted to rely on their son to marry into the royal family, she was still unwilling to admit that her husband's love was a deception and an exploitation.

She has never been as popular as Qingwu since she was a child. The two are often compared with each other, and she is always the loser.

Finally, she found a man who only had her in his heart and eyes. But her brother told her that it was a scam. How could she believe it?

She argued with her brother, trying to convince him that he was wrong, but in the end, all she saw was the disappointment on his face and her own miserable and hideous look in his dark eyes.

Looking at her stubborn daughter, she understood her brother's helplessness at the time.

"Rong'an, mother will choose a marriage for you and marry you off away from the imperial city as soon as possible. You will live a peaceful life from now on."

There is still a glimmer of hope, Rong'an. This is the last thing your mother can do for you. You have to take care of yourself from now on.

"Who do you want to marry me to? A minor official from out of town?"

Rong An was furious. "I am the Princess of Rong An, the only niece of the Fengzhao Imperial Family, and yet you want to marry me off to someone so unworthy? How could you have such a cruel heart?"

You are my mother, and shouldn't a mother always plan for her daughter? You should support me and let me marry Zhian smoothly."

"You are my brother, and I am your sister from the same mother. If you really want good things for me, you should bless me and be my support..."

Qingyin's mind echoed the words she yelled at her brother back then, and she suddenly laughed out loud. As she laughed, tears fell all over her face.

"Retribution, it's all retribution."

At this moment, the queen's men arrived.

Rong An now knew that his father and brother had failed, and that nothing good would happen to the Queen's people, so he was so scared that he shrank to one side, trying to minimize his presence.

Qingyin glanced at her, a hint of bitterness appeared on her lips, and she followed the old nanny into the palace.

She thought the same thing as Rong An, believing the Queen was punishing her because of Prince Consort Song's failure. When she heard it was because of Xiao Pei, she was shocked and asked, "My brother is missing?"

The Queen then told her her suspicions, "Qingyin, Xiao Pei is your brother, you should go and find him."

Qing Yin was already accustomed to the Queen's unreasonable behavior. "But how can you be sure that it was Wei Qingyan and the others who took my brother away?"

The Queen said, "Qingwu holds half of the national seal and has been against me for many years, yet she has never discovered your brother's existence.

Over the years, you have made many attempts to take Xiao Pei away from me, but you have never succeeded.

Looking around Feng Zhao, apart from Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu, I can't think of anyone else. No one else would risk entering the palace just for Xiao Pei, who has been dead for many years."

She sneered, "Thanks to you, I hid Lin Qianning back then. Now Lin Qianning has been sent back to the Lin family. With Wei Qingyan's ability, if he could tell that Lin Qianning had lost her soul fire.

If Xiao Pei fell into her hands, the soul fire would be extracted by her sooner or later and sent back into Lin Qianning's body.

When Wei Qingyan dispersed those souls earlier, your brother had already lost consciousness. At first, he could still listen to me, but after a few days, he became like a puppet.

If she were to extract his soul fire again, he would completely turn into a corpse. When the last life-defying formation ends, his body would quickly rot, and Xiao Pei would no longer exist in this world. In this way, Qingyin, you have harmed him again."

You hurt him again!

You hurt him again!

You hurt him again, you hurt him again...

These words kept echoing in Qingyin's mind, so much so that when she returned home, her body was trembling.

Yes.

She was the one who harmed her brother time and time again.

The reason why Lin Wanzhi was able to successfully cast a love curse on her brother was that she revealed her brother's birth date and took his blood.

Lin Wanzhi knew that she had always been competing with Qingwu, and that her brother treated Qingwu like his own sister. She knew that her brother was trying to stop her from being with the prince consort.

So, Lin Wanzhi told her that she had a way to make her brother stop interfering with her marriage, and that he would only have eyes for her and take care of her in everything in the future.

Even though she felt deep down that Lin Wanzhi had her own selfish motives, she still chose to believe it.

Later, her brother really stopped interfering with her and her husband, because he had no intention of caring about her at all. Lin Wanzhi was the only one left in his eyes.

She tried to settle the score with Lin Wanzhi, but she was the one who gave the birthday and the blood. Not only could she not betray Lin Wanzhi, she also had to help keep the matter secret.

Because she was an accomplice. If the emperor knew that she helped Lin Wanzhi use the art of witchcraft to harm her brother, she, her mother, and even her husband would all die.

She regretted it, but could only watch her brother being ruined by Lin Wanzhi. She married the prince consort as she wished, but after the marriage she found out that her brother was right and that the prince consort had only deceived her and had surrendered to Lin Wanzhi a long time ago.

But she no longer has a brother to support her.

She harmed her brother and ruined herself. She wanted to make amends, so when her brother asked her to save Lin Qianning, she did it.

Yes, Lin Qianning was saved by her brother, and she listened to her brother.

She was right. Her brother had always been smart, so it was right to listen to him.

Qingyin wiped the tears from her face vigorously, "Someone, change clothes."

She wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion to find her brother.
