Chapter 484 Buried in the sea of fire, never to be separated!
Xie Huaiyuan was in so much pain that his veins bulged and tears streamed down his face.
Qingyangzi quickly inserted the thickest needle into his arm.
Please don't die! Please don't die!
These two immortals haven't used all their tricks yet; they won't let you die.
If you die, it's because you're incompetent!
Qingyangzi pleaded desperately and used every ruthless and ruthless method imaginable, managing to keep Xie Huaiyuan from losing his senses.
His mouth was gaping open, bleeding, and he could no longer speak.
But the pain and resentment in their eyes were a clear accusation against Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi's ruthlessness.
Li Qingluo: "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out too."
"I'll let you taste the agony of unbearable pain, and let you experience the despair that Princess Qingyue felt when you pushed her into an abyss of eternal damnation!"
Sha San rushed over: "Miss, Princess Changning has been rescued by Sha Yi over at the well."
"When the second princess rushed over, the prince consort... personally stabbed her with a sword."
"As luck would have it, Princess Changning has also woken up."
"And I witnessed this scene."
Li Qinglu felt pity for her, realizing that Princess Changning was the only innocent person in this matter.
"Let Sha Yi take her away."
Although Sha San was somewhat puzzled, he still obeyed the order: "Yes."
Princess Changning didn't know much.
Moreover, Zhang Tingjiu might be very useful to Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi when they enter the capital city of Nan'an of the Great Chu.
Therefore, taking Changning away temporarily might do Zhang Tingjiu a favor after he calms down.
The screams coming from the meditation room were incessant.
Hearing this, Xie Huaiyuan's eyes were filled with pain and despair.
His mouth was wide open, bloody and empty, and he could only make "ah ah ah" sounds.
Tears streamed down her face.
Seeing Ningyuan Temple, which had flourished for decades, completely destroyed in his hands, he felt utterly devastated.
Not long after, Zhang Tingjiu also dragged Zongzheng Zhiyuan, who was covered in blood and not yet completely dead, over.
He seemed completely unsurprised to see Xie Huaiyuan tied to a tree.
Instead, he calmly nodded to Li Qingluo and the other person.
It seemed he had long understood that what was happening in the temple was all orchestrated by these two behind the scenes.
However, he did not have any ill feelings about the matter.
She even took this opportunity to expose Zongzheng Zhiyuan and Xie Huaiyuan's affair and all the humiliations they had inflicted on her to the world.
He wanted to ruin their reputations.
They all have to die!
Although Changning was hurt, Changning alone cannot make him let go of this matter.
Moreover, Changning is Xie Huaiyuan's child, and she should know the truth herself.
Although Changning felt some regret the moment he jumped into the well, now he only felt a sense of relief.
"You bitch!"
"You've been thinking about Xie Huaiyuan for over twenty years."
"Since you can't forget, I'll grant your wish and let you die together!"
Zhang Tingjiu pushed Zongzheng Zhiyuan onto Xie Huaiyuan.
Zongzheng Zhiyuan held Xie Huaiyuan in her arms, her face full of pain.
"Brother Huaiyuan..."
"I am coming--"
Her obsession was Xie Huaiyuan.
Even though he tried to kill himself repeatedly.
Even though he would abandon her without hesitation every time.
Even if he never had a place for himself in his heart.
Even if the person he loves will never be her.
Even if Changning no longer acknowledges her as her mother, her husband Zhang Tingjiu will still kill her with his own hands.
Zongzheng Zhiyuan has absolutely no regrets!
She suddenly pulled out a small knife hidden on her person and cut the ropes binding Xie Huaiyuan.
"Brother Huaiyuan, don't be afraid. I'll stay with you..."
Zongzheng Zhiyuan hugged Xie Huaiyuan and slowly slid down the tree trunk to sit on the ground.
However, Xie Huaiyuan pushed her away again.
Then he turned around and resolutely rushed into the sea of fire.
He danced and disappeared into the fire.
It's as if they're singing: Moon, I'm here...
Zongzheng Zhiyuan let out a piercing scream: "Brother Huaiyuan—"
She scrambled to her feet too: "Don't even think about leaving me behind!"
"We'll die together!"
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Zongzheng Qingyue, I've won in the end!! I've won Huaiyuan-gege—"
"ah--"
Zongzheng Zhiyuan's screams soon came from the fire.
Watching this scene, everyone felt nothing but a pang of sympathy for their madness.
Li Qingluo even sneered: "You, who would risk your life for someone, how could you possibly know that she has never truly cared..."
Zhang Tingjiu turned around and nodded slightly to them.
"Today, Abbot Jia Guan of Ningyuan Temple has been exposed by the people for deliberately swindling and exploiting them for money over the years. Therefore, he has locked himself in the Guanyin Hall to repent."
"Unexpectedly, a fire suddenly broke out in the hall. Princess Zhiyuan, who had been a devout Buddhist for many years, rushed into the fire to save people, but she and Abbot Jiaguan perished in the flames."
"Upon returning to Nan'an, I, the Prince Consort, will use this explanation to report today's outcome to His Majesty."
Do either of you have any other opinions?
Duan Rongshi took a small half-step back, pretending that he was not the one speaking.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Tingjiu's eyes.
So, this woman is the master after all?
Although he couldn't tell their identities before, it now seemed that the one in black was also a guard.
Unexpectedly, there is such a woman in the Great Chu.
He commands a group of highly skilled guards, and possesses such courage and strategic acumen.
Was everything that Ningyuan Temple has experienced and evolved into today part of her plan?
As for myself, I was just going with the flow and waiting for the result.
Zhang Tingjiu was naturally very satisfied with this result.
He also knew that if he didn't quickly make his stance clear, he would never be able to leave Ningyuan Temple today.
So he turned around and quickly bowed slightly to Li Qingluo.
“Young lady, I have no intention of making enemies with you. Since we were all involved in today’s events, I’ll take care of cleaning up the mess.”
"What are your thoughts, young lady?"
Li Qingluo neither nodded nor shook her head.
Instead, he looked up again towards the direction of the Jia Guan meditation room in the distance.
After the screams from the other side had mostly subsided, Sha San returned to report.
"Young lady, the monks and nuns got into a conflict with the people because they were reluctant to let the gold and silver buried under the floor of the abbot's meditation room be dug up. In the heat of the moment, they fought each other and now all the monks have been killed."
Li Qinglu then looked at Zhang Tingjiu: "I wonder, will the common people who accidentally kill someone in their attempt to uphold justice and reclaim their money be punished according to the laws of your Great Chu?"
Upon hearing her question, Zhang Tingjiu quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss. I, the Prince Consort, witnessed everything that happened today with my own eyes."
"It was the monks in the temple who attacked first. In order to protect the people from harm, I sent the guards from the princess's residence to rescue them, which is why I was delayed in rushing into the fire to save the princess."
Wouldn't such a set of arguments completely and perfectly close the gap?
