Chapter 247 Kill him
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci smiled.
That laughter was filled with endless mockery and chilling coldness.
“How could Old Madam Huo think,” she looked at her, her eyes as if she were looking at a huge joke, “that you treated me like that before, and Huo Yunzhan even killed so many people in my Shen family, would I let him go?”
“This princess,” her voice suddenly turned sharp, “last night, I went to the imperial prison to break him out and ‘invite’ him out.”
Old Madam Huo's eyes suddenly flashed!
Last night? A prison break? And they brought Huo Yunzhan out?
She knew perfectly well that the real Huo Yunzhan had been taken away by His Majesty's men several days ago, and had even been sent away from the capital long ago!
If Shen Qingci was indeed the one who intercepted His Majesty, then Huo Yunzhan in front of him must be the real one.
But if Shen Qingci was going to break into prison... then this "Huo Yunzhan"...
Huo Yunzhan was extremely agitated. He screamed "Ah ah!" but couldn't speak. His hands and feet were tightly bound, so he could only shake his head frantically, trying to tell his mother with his eyes that Shen Qingci was lying! He was the real Huo Yunzhan!
Shen Qingci was well aware of his thoughts, and she gave a wink to the guard beside her.
The guards immediately escorted Old Madam Huo a few steps toward Huo Yunzhan.
“Madam,” Shen Qingci’s voice was full of feigned “regret,” “you must take a good look at your son. After this… I’m afraid there will be no more chances.”
Old Madam Huo stood just a step away from Huo Yunzhan, carefully examining the "son" before her.
Her gaze fell on his ear, and then... looked down at his neck.
No.
Her Zhan'er has moles in these two locations.
But the person in front of me... isn't there.
She looked at it carefully again. There was no mole below Zhan'er's ear.
But... this person has it.
Moreover, her Zhan'er was not rendered speechless because of the fire in the prison!
Old Madam Huo breathed a long sigh of relief.
fine……
Shen Qingci was deceived.
This is not her Zhan'er at all.
A faint sense of smugness arose in her heart, as if she had fooled Shen Qingci.
But she still feigned a look of utter fury, her voice filled with grief: "Zhan'er... is about to be beheaded! Why... why are you doing this?"
Looking at her expression, Shen Qingci knew exactly what she was thinking.
She simply and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"I'm scared," she said, her voice filled with innocence and obsession. "I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."
"Today, Huo Yunzhan... must die!"
"And," her eyes were filled with utter madness, "they must die in front of me!"
"It would be best... for him to die... at the hands of someone I arranged."
With a smile, she drew a long sword that gleamed with a cold light from the waist of a nearby guard!
Then, she handed the sword to Liu Ruolan, whose face was already deathly pale.
“Originally,” her voice was light and airy, yet every word was like a knife, “I was going to hold Miss Liu accountable. But… Miss Liu said that it was all Huo Yunzhan’s fault.”
"If it weren't for Huo Yunzhan, she would still be the peaceful and secure Lady of Yongning Marquis."
“If Huo Yunzhan hadn’t impersonated Huo Yunting, she wouldn’t have been so confrontational with me.”
"After thinking it over, I also think there's some truth to it."
“So,” a wicked glint flashed in her eyes, “I want Miss Liu to be the one to deliver the final blow aimed at Huo Yunzhan.”
Although Madam Huo knew that the "Huo Yunzhan" in front of her was fake, she still couldn't help but be furious when she heard Shen Qingci's words!
"What does Guan Zhan'er have to do with this?!" she retorted shrilly. "Isn't it that vixen Liu Ruolan who's been flirting with everyone all day long?!"
She turned to look at Liu Ruolan: "If it weren't for you, Zhan'er... how could she have become infertile due to excessive indulgence?!"
"If it weren't for your father secretly finding Zhan'er and coercing and bribing him, how could Zhan'er... have done such a radical thing?!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruolan let out a sneer!
She slowly turned her head to look at Old Madam Huo, her eyes filled with endless mockery and disdain.
"Huo Yunzhan and Huo Yunting are both your sons."
"Huo Yunzhan, kill Huo Yunting."
Why... are you still helping him?
Of course, Madam Huo knew that Huo Yunzhan had indeed made a mistake in this matter!
But what could she do?
Ting'er is dead! She only has Zhan'er left as her son!
She's still counting on Zhan'er!
Of course... we can only help him!
Old Madam Huo gritted her teeth, turned her head sharply, and stared intently at Liu Ruolan: "And what kind of good thing are you?"
"You've been married to Ting'er for two years, and he's treated you well, hasn't he? Yet you can't even recognize your own husband!"
"You recognized him later, but...you didn't make a fuss, did you?!"
Liu Ruolan was too lazy to argue with her, and only sneered: "As soon as Huo Yunzhan came back, he took me straight to his bed! What good did it do me to recognize him later?"
“Anyway,” her eyes were filled with absolute determination, “it’s all Huo Yunzhan’s fault!”
"I will kill him today!"
After she finished speaking, she snatched the long sword from Shen Qingci's hand and, without hesitation, stabbed it fiercely at Huo Yunzhan on the ground!
Huo Yunzhan was extremely excited! He used all his strength to dodge to the side!
The gleaming sword barely grazed his heart before piercing his shoulder with a soft "thud."
Shen Qingci raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice filled with regret: "It's crooked."
"He didn't die."
Shen Qingci slowly turned her head again, looking at Old Madam Huo, who was already pale with fright, with a smile.
“The old lady is right,” her voice was light and airy, yet filled with endless malice, “Huo Yunzhan will be beheaded today. Anyway, he was going to die sooner or later.”
"How about you deliver the final blow, Madam?"
“After all,” her eyes were filled with utter madness and cruelty, “Huo Yunzhan killed your eldest son.”
"Aren't you afraid that if you don't avenge him, your eldest son, who died unjustly, will come looking for trouble at night?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Huo immediately recalled that night in the Buddhist hall, the "ghostly figure" filled with resentment!
She screamed and shook her head frantically!
Shen Qingci's expression turned cold in an instant!
“I advise you,” her voice was icy cold, “to do as I say and make me happier.”
“Otherwise,” her eyes were filled with murderous intent, “the one who dies…won’t just be Huo Yunzhan!”
"I will not let any member of your Huo family go!"
"Including...you!"
