Chapter 574 Does That Mean She Is Also Pitiful?
"Zi Yunlai, are you mentally ill?" Cao Huaping suddenly yelled.
Zi Yunlai remained calm. He looked at Cao Huaping with a gentle gaze, "I'm just afraid... afraid that you'll be alone in the future..."
"Shut up!" Cao Huaping stopped him from continuing. "I'm telling you, if you die, Zi Tong must die too. Just because he doesn't know now doesn't mean he won't know in the future. I won't leave any hidden dangers for myself."
Zi Yunlai looked at her with a sad face, and when he spoke again, his voice became even more pitiful, "All these years, everyone who knew about that incident is dead, right? Tong'er has always regarded you as his biological mother. He won't harm you, he..."
"Zi Yunlai, you know, I only believe that the dead won't hurt me." Cao Huaping interrupted Zi Yunlai again, "Go away."
Zi Yunlai didn't leave, still sitting there, but the look he gave Cao Huaping was a little more heartbroken. "Ping'er, after all these years, you... still can't believe me?"
Cao Huaping did not answer his question. She turned around, knelt down again, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and returned to her previous state. No matter what Zi Yunlai said, she did not react at all.
Zi Yunlai gave up. He sat in silence for a while, then suddenly asked curiously, "Is your poison... not ready yet?"
Cao Huaping's figure visibly stiffened.
Zi Yunlai slowly stood up and continued softly, "I'm seriously ill, very seriously ill. I'm not hiding it from you because I'm afraid you'll worry. But Tong'er and Chen Zhong both know that I'm dying."
"If you have your poison ready, just poison me here and no one will suspect anything."
Cao Huaping's figure began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, but she kept biting her lips hard and did not make any sound.
She was planning to poison him tomorrow, so she let him go now.
Zi Yunlai waited patiently for a while, and only after confirming that Cao Huaping was not ready to kill him did he drag himself out slowly. "Okay, since you are not ready, I will wait for you. I will wait for you."
He slowly left the Buddhist temple.
As soon as the door of the Buddhist hall closed, Cao Huaping's body went limp and she fell to the ground.
She held her head and cried softly.
Fuxing had been waiting outside for a long time and heard the conversation between Ziyunlai and Cao Huaping. She wanted to wait until Cao Huaping finished crying before coming in, but after waiting for a long time, Cao Huaping was still crying softly.
Fuxing decided not to wait any longer, so she pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall.
Almost instantly, Cao Huaping stopped crying. She quickly sat up and shouted angrily, "Have you been watching me laugh at you? Are you so anxious to die?"
When she turned around and looked fiercely, she found that the person who came in was not Zi Yunlai, but... a somewhat familiar face.
Cao Huaping slowly stood up and walked to Fuxing, then looked at her carefully in the moonlight. She looked alike, very alike.
She frowned, lowered her head, and leaned close to Fuxing's neck to smell his scent.
In an instant, she took several steps back in shock, looking at the person in horror, "You... who are you? You are not Su Yu, who are you?"
Fuxing saw her reaction clearly. She did look like her mother, so Cao Huaping mistook her for her mother Su Yu. However, the age was obviously wrong, so Cao Huaping was very scared.
This indirectly proves one thing: Cao Huaping really knows her mother.
"Who are you?" Fuxing asked softly.
Cao Huaping narrowed her eyes, now calm, "What is your relationship with...Su Yu?"
Fuxing also asked her, "What about you? What is your relationship with Suyu?"
Two extremely beautiful and similar women stood in front of the Buddha, confronting each other vigilantly, staring at each other without blinking. Obviously, neither of them intended to answer the other's questions.
But soon, they each found the answer.
"You..." Cao Huaping chuckled, "Are you Su Yu's daughter?"
Fuxing also smiled, "Are you Su Yu's...twin sister?"
After the two women finished speaking, they both laughed at the same time.
"This world is truly magical," Cao Huaping said, smiling broadly as she sat on the chair where Zi Yun had just sat. "Su Yu actually soiled herself and gave birth to a daughter. Wasn't she eaten alive by those idiots? Little girl, you won't inherit your mother's legacy and become some kind of saint, will you?"
Fuxing walked over and sat down opposite Cao Huaping, saying coldly, "What about you? Have you remained chaste all these years since leaving the Poison King Valley? So Zitong isn't your son? But you're not a saint... No, you're a saintess? If you are the saintess, then my mother..."
In an instant, Fuxing seemed to have glimpsed some truths of the past. Perhaps from the very beginning, the chosen saint was the aunt in front of him whom he had never met, but for some reason, his mother replaced her and became the saint, and also had that sad and pitiful life.
Cao Huaping's expression didn't change much even though she was seen through. She just pursed her lips indifferently. "You're right. Back then, I was the chosen Saint. But you're just kindhearted. She loves her sister so much that she's willing to become some lousy Saint for her. As her sister, I naturally have to fulfill her wish."
"You..." Fuxing gritted her teeth, but she quickly calmed down. In this situation, there was no point in dwelling on those things anymore.
She straightened herself and continued, "Since you're not a saint, why are you still keeping your virginity? You're clearly attracted to Zi Yunlai, but why aren't you willing to marry him and be a good queen? Considering how deeply he loves you, even if your child is a girl, she'll be the most noble princess in Dongchu."
Unexpectedly, Cao Huaping snorted, "He doesn't deserve it!"
Fuxing sneered, "Does that traitor Wei Changkong deserve it?"
"Hahaha..." Cao Huaping suddenly laughed, but her laughter was sharp and piercing. "Yes, I just like thieves who steal our country. I just like people who are as despicable and ridiculous as me."
Fuxing was suddenly stunned. For some reason, she seemed to see her own shadow in Cao Huaping.
"What's with that expression?" Cao Huaping's face turned grim. "Why? Do you think I'm pitiful? How ridiculous! The dignified Emperor Chu is just a dog begging for death in front of me. Why should I be pitiful? It's those idiots who are pitiful!"
Fuxing couldn't explain it. If she felt that Cao Huaping was pitiful, did it mean that she was actually pitiful too?
She suddenly felt that there was no point in confronting Cao Huaping like this, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
Cao Huaping frowned in dissatisfaction, "Are you mute?"
"Since you like Zi Yunlai, why don't you give him a chance to live? He won't live long anyway, and he won't have the chance to harm you in the future. You...stay with him until his last days."
Fuxing heard her own voice, but it was very far away and didn't sound like her at all.
