Chapter 418 You Regret It

Qingyin thought that she had to play tricks on Yu and Wei Qingyan at the same time to test Xiao Pei's whereabouts, but she didn't expect that it was Xiao Pei who was waiting in the room.

"Royal brother?"

Qing Yin looked at Xiao Pei who was sitting beside the bed. Shock and joy made her speechless. "You...she...she said you are not well."

But when she saw her brother, although he didn't say anything, his expression and eyes clearly told her that he was fine.

"Qingyin, long time no see."

Time was limited, so Xiao Pei didn't respond to her question and asked directly, "Do you regret it?"

"I……"

Qing Yin approached and looked at Xiao Pei, who was no longer young and lively as before. Her eyes were red, "Brother, I'm sorry."

This sentence had been stuck in her heart for many years, and she finally had the chance to say it to him.

Xiao Pei patted the edge of the bed and said, "Come to my brother."

Qingyin went over obediently, and Xiao Pei stroked her head with his hand. "Ayin, tell me why you came here today?"

"She asked me to take you back." Qingyin pursed her lips and told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pei just smiled faintly and touched her head. Then, with lightning speed, he pulled out the hairpin from Qingyin's head and inserted it into his heart.

"Brother, don't..."

Qingyin screamed and rushed forward to cover Xiao Pei's injuries, but Xiao Pei raised his hand to block her.

"Ayin, take a good look at this wound."

Xiao Pei still had a faint smile on his lips.

Qingyin took just one look and then closed her eyes. The hairpin was inserted so deeply, but not a drop of blood came out.

"I have long since become a monster that relies on countless lives to survive in this world. I don't know if hell really exists. If it does, that must be where I will go. But even so, I still hope I can be freed soon.

Ah Yin, it’s not worth it to use so many lives on a monster like me. I can’t bear it.

You always blamed me and my father for favoring Qingwu, but Ayin, have you ever thought about this: if Lin Wanzhi had approached Qingwu back then, would she have been fooled and helped Lin Wanzhi cast a curse on me?

She won't!

Even if she was fooled, she would save herself in time, or tell her father and brother and not let the palace coup happen.

If she knew that Lin Wanzhi had harmed so many innocent lives just to turn me into a monster so that she could imprison me by her side, even if Qingwu couldn't kill Lin Wanzhi, she would still try to end my life.

Because she knew that I didn't want to be humiliated by Lin Wanzhi, but you chose to help Lin Wanzhi keep me. You thought it was for my own good.

My royal brother knows that over the years, you have been tolerant of Lin Wanzhi for me. Even though you could no longer tolerate many things, you chose to stand by and watch. But Ah Yin, what you think is good is not what my royal brother wants.

So, Ayin, it’s not that we favor her, but your different personalities are destined to make us treat you differently. The emperor likes Qingwu, but he has never thought badly of you before.

Even now, my royal brother still hopes that you will repent. There are four of us brothers and sisters. My royal brother is dead, and I also hope to be free. In the future, only you two sisters will remain in this world.

You are the elder sister, so it is your responsibility to take care of your younger sister and maintain the family business. Qingwu has had a hard time these years.

Ah Yin, can you promise your brother that you will help Qing Wu look after these children and protect the people of Feng Zhao?

"But Ah Yin has made too many mistakes, my royal brother. She has made too many mistakes. There is no turning back."

Qing Yin burst into tears, "Brother, the Crown Prince and his men killed my son. My son is dead..."

"That's because he's not upright and wants to harm others. If you really don't want him to die, you shouldn't let him grow crooked."

Xiao Pei's voice suddenly became sharp, "Qingyin, I'm going to ask you again, do you regret it?"

Do you regret it?

Xiao Pei had asked the same question many years ago. Qing Yin knew that she had harmed her brother, so she stubbornly thought that letting Xiao Pei continue to live was making up for it.

At that time, Xiao Pei saw that she was still stubborn and refused to see her again.

When asked this question today, Qingyin still just cried without saying a word.

Xiao Pei sighed deeply, "In that case, you can go. But Ah Yin, remember, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters. Those who do evil will not be able to run rampant for long.

This is the last time we will see each other, my Royal Brother hopes you will take care of yourself."

"Brother, don't chase me away."

Qing Yin held Xiao Pei's hand, tears streaming down her face, "I regret it, I regretted it a long time ago, but I just don't know how to go on in the future, and how to make up for those mistakes.

The prince consort did evil and deserves death, but my son is my flesh and blood. And Rong An, she looks a lot like me back then, but as a mother, I can't just ignore her. She was bewitched by Lin Wanzhi, and I've already stepped into Lin Wanzhi's mud and can't get out, brother."

"Then don't do anything."

Qing Wu suddenly stepped in and pushed Qing Yin to her knees. "You've been foolish your whole life. Now, do you still want to be foolish? Can't you just let Second Brother feel at ease?"

Can't you just let him leave in peace?

Idiot, can't you see that this is the final farewell? What a waste of time.

"Second brother, for the fact that she saved Qian Ning, as long as she doesn't condone Lin Wanzhi's evil deeds in the future, I won't hold her accountable for the past."

She sat in the seat where Qing Yin had just sat, and looked at Xiao Pei eagerly, "Second brother, have you said anything to A Wu?"

When she learned that Qingyin had gone to the Prince's Mansion and was worried that she would cause trouble, she rushed over. She actually heard everything Xiao Pei said just now.

But ever since she knew that Xiao Pei was cursed, her hatred for him disappeared. When she learned that he had been imprisoned for many years and had escaped and voluntarily returned to Lin Wanzhi in order to save Jingzhe, she was left with only guilt towards him.

I feel guilty for not discovering the truth earlier and rescuing him earlier.

Xiao Pei also touched her head and said, "My Awu has done very well. I am proud of you. If you can find a good man to accompany you for the rest of your life, with children and grandchildren around you, I will be even happier for you."

"You still remember."

Qingwu choked up.

That Mid-Autumn Festival, after the palace banquet, the four brothers and sisters, led by their second elder brother, stole their father's treasured wine and hid in the Zhaixing Pavilion to drink and admire the moon.

At that time, they talked about their dreams, and she said that she hoped to find a good man for the rest of her life, who would not take concubines or have affairs with other women, and who would only have her by his side for the rest of his life, with children and grandchildren around him.

That year, she was just twelve years old. The second prince made fun of her for being shameless. She chased him and beat him for a long time. Finally, she gave up after he promised to take her out of the palace for a trip.

In a blink of an eye, it seems like such a long time ago. They were so happy back then.

Xiao Pei smiled and nodded, "I still remember that you said you were worried that your future sister-in-law would be stingy and strict, so you asked me and my brother to save up some dowry for you as soon as possible.

Ah Wu, there is a secret passage in the rockery of Fengyang Palace. The things we saved for you and Qingyin are in there."

"Second brother..." Qing Wu finally couldn't hold back and hugged Xiao Pei and burst into tears.

Xiao Pei patted her back again and again, but his eyes were looking at Qingyin.

Qingyin also looked up at him, and there was no longer the jealousy of her youth in her eyes.

Xiao Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said this today for Qingyin, worried that if she continued like this she would be doomed, and also wanted to help the children by providing some support, even if it wasn't support, then it wouldn't be an obstacle.

It seems that it has been done now.

As Xiao Peiru was thinking this, she saw the person lying on her crying uncontrollably suddenly jump up and punch Qingyin.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. Although I don't like your awkward personality, in my heart, you have always been my only sister.

Why do you have to compete with your own sister? Why do you believe the sweet words of that Song guy? Why do you help that vicious woman Lin Wanzhi?

If it weren't for you, the four of us brothers and sisters wouldn't have ended up like this, and I might have gotten married and had children long ago.

Although you gave birth to a pair of children, you did not know how to raise them. Your son was killed by my people. If you want revenge, come to me.

But I'm almost forty now. If I had married when I was 15, I might have been the mother of three or four children by now. All of this was ruined by you. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
