Chapter 49: Sacrifice for the sake of justice



Li Sheng had a complicated expression. He looked at Duanmu Rui with a strange look and was speechless for a moment.

This is his master. If he refutes Duanmu Rui, it would be unfilial!

No matter how right or reasonable what he said is, it is still unfilial!

What is filial piety?

The word "lao" is on top and the word "zi" is on the bottom, which means that the father will always suppress his son. This is filial piety!

“Master!”

Li Sheng saluted respectfully with a painful expression on his face, then he slowly turned around and faced the other people in the field.

"You all must not understand why I must kill my own brother, right?"

Li Sheng suddenly spoke, and there was an uproar in the audience. He actually admitted it!

He actually admitted it in public!

He, a perfect genius who is qualified to achieve the saint realm and inherit the throne of the Nine Flames Emperor, actually admitted in public that all this was his plan!

In this case, it’s not just Li Xiao’s problem.

The deaths of the Fourth Princess and the Eighth Prince, and the dethronement of the Fifth Prince, were all his responsibility.

Others couldn't help but suspect that all the people who had gotten into trouble before were Li Sheng's schemes.

With such a character, is he worthy of the title of saint?

"Third brother?"

Li Jie exclaimed in disbelief, and even Duanmu Rui looked stunned.

"In the past, the mother of the Seventh Prince Li Xiao was kind to my mother."

"It was her support and care that allowed my mother to escape numerous disasters, successfully marry the man she loved, and even enjoy a glorious twenty years in the harem."

"However, since ancient times, great kindness has always turned into hatred. My mother has received great kindness but does not know how to repay it. Therefore, she feels guilty and uneasy day and night."

"Later, the Seventh Prince's mother suddenly passed away. My mother was heartbroken, but also relieved that she no longer had to endure the psychological pressure she had endured."

"Over the years, my mother has often mourned her good sister from the past. Whenever she thinks of her, she cries bitterly, grateful for the kindness of her former best friend. When others know about this, they all say that my mother is loyal and righteous."

"But man proposes, God disposes. The sudden return of the Seventh Prince Li Xiao has left my mother restless day and night. She's woken from nightmares several times, saying that her good sisters from back then blamed her for not protecting the Seventh Prince Li Xiao..."

Li Sheng ignored everyone's shock and actually said all these words.

"puff!"

In the sky, Duanmu Rui's Dharma body suddenly vomited blood. He stared at Li Sheng with a pale face, as if all his lifelong beliefs and persistence were shattered at this moment.

"Impossible! She, how could she be such a person?"

Duanmu Rui let out a painful wail, and his huge Dharma body immediately caught fire. Large tracts of clouds were destroyed and turned into red blood rain, drifting down from the sky.

"It really is a good show!"

Li Xiao frowned as he watched all this. Others were just shocked, but he was a time traveler after all. He had seen all kinds of bloody things and understood what was going on.

"Although my mother didn't say it explicitly, she used various means to constantly hint to me, her son."

"She said, how could she be so sorry for this child and how could she be worthy of the kindness she had shown her in the past."

"She meant that it would be fine if the Seventh Prince died, or never came back!"

Li Sheng refused to give in and continued to accuse his mother of sins. The majestic cloud body collapsed and disintegrated, and the sky was like a flood of blood.

"It's hard for others to say anything about these things, but I think Concubine Chen can testify, right?"

"You clearly know the relationship between my mother and that person from the past, yet you still instigated your son to join forces with me to deal with Li Xiao."

"Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"

Li Sheng sighed and gave the final right of interpretation to Li Jie's mother.

"He's right! That holy little white flower has always had this kind of green tea and ungrateful personality."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to a son like you!"

Princess Chen obviously hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't help but say this because of the resentment that had accumulated over the years.

“So, it’s really like that!”

A sigh of endless emotion came from the sky, and then a white cloud floated over, carrying Duanmu Rui's real body on it.

"That's the truth! How could there be such a thing as a perfect woman in this world? She's just a figment of the imagination of those ignorant young men with wild dreams!"

Li Sheng looked up at his master with an extremely complicated expression.

In fact, he had only seen Emperor Jiuyan a few times in his life, and all of those times were when he was very young.

In his heart, the real father has always been Duanmu Rui.

"puff!"

Duanmu Rui suddenly drew out his long sword and stabbed it into his own heart. Blood spurted out of all his orifices, making him look hideous and ferocious.

"I'm going to try to break through! If I fail this time, I'm willing to die!"

"The barrier here will last for another quarter of an hour."

"You guys should handle your own affairs."

Duanmu Rui looked at Li Sheng with infinite ease. The relationship between the two was extremely awkward now, but he had no time to talk nonsense and just left directly.

"I thought you were here to kill me!"

Li Xiao frowned as he watched all this, but he still couldn't help but snort.

Other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

But unfortunately, these people all treated him as a pawn, exploiting him wantonly, which was simply too much!

What's more, since Duanmu Rui is the son of destiny, he is naturally Li Xiao's prey, and the hostile relationship between the two sides cannot be changed.

"Li Xiao! Since things have come this far, why don't you just keep going!"

Li Sheng watched silently in the distance until he slowly turned around and looked at Li Xiao first.

"You want to use me to kill the Fifth Prince and his mother? Indeed, your mothers have been fighting and hostile to each other for so many years. How could you be so foolish as to truly accept Li Jie?"

Li Xiao snorted and directly exposed Li Sheng's intentions in public.

Sadly, this no longer makes sense.

Li Sheng had previously ruined his mother's reputation in public. This self-degradation doomed him to live under the condemnation and endless abuse of thousands of people.

Under such circumstances, a small matter like harming the imperial concubine is nothing.

Didn’t the Fourth Princess and Eighth Prince die?

The fifth prince Li Jie, what else does he have?

"What did you say?"

Only then did Empress Chen feel afraid. She screamed in anger and resentment, wishing she could rush up and scratch Li Sheng to death.

Unfortunately, Li Xiao was already standing in front of her.

As the saying goes, whoever gives you milk is your mother. Li Xiao has no good feelings towards Li Sheng, and is not willing to be his lackey and help him achieve his goals.

But the problem is, this thing has benefits, how can he not do it?
