Chapter 908 Past Life 16

His gaze fell on the Empress, who then looked at Yun Yichen and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

In the Empress's view, Yun Yichen's only grievances were against the old emperor. Since the emperor was already dead, she could at least save their lives by negotiating with him.

Little did they know that although Yun Yichen hated the old emperor, how could it compare to Lu Youming's hatred for killing his son and taking his wife?

"What do you want?"

Yun Yichen sneered, then parted his thin lips and uttered a few words: "I want you all dead."

Yun Yichen emphasized the last word heavily, causing the Empress to take a step back unexpectedly, and Yan Meier to burst into tears in fright.

"This has nothing to do with me, I don't want to die!"

Yan Meier cried her heart out, but no one present cared about her. Even Lu Youming felt that Yan Meier was making him lose face.

“You’re right. It was none of your business, but you married into the Gu family first, and then Lu Youming. Your mistake was that you used the Gu family as a stepping stone to your advancement.”

Yun Yichen listed Yan Meier's crimes in detail, and Yan Meier did not expect that Yun Yichen knew all of these things.

"But what can I, a woman, do? I'm just thinking more about myself. Is that wrong?"

Yan Meier's words made Yun Yichen laugh in anger. Sure enough, he shouldn't have wasted his breath talking to this woman.

"Since you made the fewest mistakes, I'll give you a quick death."

Before anyone could react, Yun Yichen finished speaking and his longsword slashed across Yan Meier's neck.

Yan Meier couldn't believe it until her death; her eyes were wide open as she looked in Yun Yichen's direction.

Yan Meier's fall shocked everyone. The Li family members, being the most timid, screamed and dared not look at Yan Meier.

Yun Yichen frowned upon hearing the noise. "Shut up, Zhong Lin. Take them away and deal with them."

After receiving instructions, Zhong Lin had his men lift up the Li family members one by one. Then, a series of shouts came from the backyard, followed by silence.

When Zhong Lin returned, his sword was covered in blood.

What did you do to my parents?

Gu Yingxue reacted and grabbed Zhong Lin, but Zhong Lin pushed her to the ground.

A pregnant woman was pushed like that and immediately clutched her stomach and cried out.

Yun Yichen glanced at Lu Youming and asked, "What's wrong? Are you anxious? Are you worried something might happen to the baby in her belly?"

Yun Yichen's words were like a ghost, causing Lu Youming's heart to clench painfully.

“This is revenge,” Lu Youming said.

“That’s right, I’m seeking revenge. So what? You’re proud of killing someone else’s child. Now I’m going to show you the pain of losing a child.”

As Yun Yichen spoke, someone immediately fed Gu Yingxue a pill. Before long, Gu Yingxue, who was already showing signs of miscarriage, could no longer hold back and started rolling on the ground.

As she rolled, blood slowly seeped into her lower skirt.

"No, no, my child."

Gu Yingxue was in tears, and her pained appearance was truly pitiful.

Yun Yichen stepped closer to her, and seeing that she had finally calmed down, he asked, "Your pain is less than one-tenth of the pain Shushu felt when she saw the dead Rui'er."

It's just an unborn child, and you're all so upset. Did you ever think about how we felt when we lost such a sensible and adorable son?

Yun Yichen suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the Empress before landing on Lu Youming, "I will take back what you bet on them, mother and son, bit by bit."

Yun Yichen's eyes were bloodshot, and the Empress was somewhat confused as to what had happened.

"Ming'er, what... what is he saying?"

The Empress's bewilderment seemed genuine, and Yun Yichen suddenly became interested.

"Does Your Majesty not know how Rui'er died?"

Yun Yichen's words indeed aroused the Empress's suspicion. Previously, it was said that Gu Shuyan had died of illness, and Rui'er, overwhelmed with grief, accidentally fell into the pond and drowned.

However, it is now very clear that there are suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his grandson.

The Empress looked at Lu Youming, her eyes full of questioning.

Lu Youming didn't want to say it, but when he met the Empress's gaze, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Rui'er was killed by me and Gu Yingxue."

"What?"

The empress felt like she was about to faint, otherwise why would her son lay a hand on her grandson?

"What a tragedy, what a tragedy."

The empress let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

She wondered if this disaster wouldn't have happened if her son hadn't done such a thing.

At least she could see that Yun Yichen's actions against her and her son were not because of the emperor, but because of the dead mother and son.

Seeing the Empress's pained and frustrated expression, Lu Youming couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but Rui'er is not my flesh and blood. He is the bastard child of that slut Gu Shuyan and this traitor."

As soon as Lu Youming finished speaking, he was kicked by Yun Yichen.

Before the empress could even process the truth, she watched as her son arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ming'er!"

The Empress shouted that she was going to help Lu Youming, but Yun Yichen would never give her that chance.

With a single glance, the Empress was stopped in her tracks. Then, Yun Yichen walked step by step toward Lu Youming, and with a single kick, Lu Youming returned to the same spot in the same way.

"hiss!"

Lu Youming let out a long sigh of relief, then touched his ribs, which were sore from the fall, and struggled to get up from the ground.

He met Yun Yichen's gaze and said, "I know you hate me for killing that mother and child. Since you've already killed my child, you'd better hurry up and do it!"

He knew very well that he wouldn't live to see this day, and that it would be better to end his life sooner rather than be beaten again.

Looking at his appearance, Yun Yichen couldn't bear to see him die like this. Thinking of the wounds on Rui'er's body, Yun Yichen suddenly had an idea.

“I remember you slashed my son many times, causing him to die from pain and blood loss. So, may you all die the same way!”

Yun Yichen's words floated into their ears, and both Lu Youming and Gu Yingxue couldn't help but shudder.

They were the two who started it all, and no one knew the extent of the tragedy better than them. The Empress shuddered upon hearing this.

Having spent so many years in the palace, she had heard of many forms of torture. When she thought of the slow slicing method, which was similar to Yun Yichen's description, she wished she could just kill herself to avoid suffering those torments.

"Zhong Lin, get ready, the show is about to begin."

Yun Yichen smiled and gave instructions to Zhong Lin. This appearance not only frightened the three of them, but even Zhong Lin couldn't help but shrink back.

Their master wasn't a cheerful person, but this slightly eerie smile was even more frightening than when he wasn't smiling.

He ordered the extra corpses to be disposed of, and Zhong Lin brought over three small knives.
