Chapter 642 Betrayal! A living hell!
Kill One and Kill Four stepped forward, and Nangong Di, who had been silently following along, moved quickly this time, standing directly behind Anar.
Although Anar was reluctant, killing one or four people wouldn't make a fool of herself.
The two followed Li Qing down, and then the three of them simply pushed off with their feet, and the five of them leaped over the wall together.
Anar forgot that those Central Plains people who know kung fu also know a little bit of light-body skills.
Back then, wasn't I captivated by Nangong Di's dashing and heroic figure, flying around with superb lightness skills?
Li Qingluo's guards were all martial arts masters, so it was not surprising that they knew lightness skills.
The courtyard was full of crazy women.
Anar disdainfully avoided their hands, and those who dared to entangle her were swiftly and forcefully slapped away with a whip.
Soon, she found an old acquaintance.
Judging from her appearance, she has been to this place quite often before.
Li Qingluo was tightly protected by Sha Yi and Sha Si behind him. Only when Anar called them did the three of them go over.
Anar kicked an old woman to the ground.
"Do you still remember me, you wretch?"
Anar grabbed the old woman's hair and cursed her fiercely.
The old woman raised her wrinkled face, her hair was completely white, and she looked extremely pitiful.
However, Anar showed her no pity whatsoever.
He raised his hand and slapped her hard again.
"You've had a very comfortable time here all these years."
"Why are you still alive, while my mother died so young?!"
"You deceived me so badly back then!"
After saying that, Anar raised her whip and struck the old woman repeatedly, causing her to scream in agony.
He kept crying out, "Spare me... Spare me! Please spare me..."
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
"Why don't you just kill me? Please, just kill me..."
The old woman was soon covered in whip marks and blood.
The other crazy women were also terrified by this scene and all shrank into another corner of the yard, no longer daring to come out.
Anar got tired of fighting, so she put her hands on her hips, took a breather, and gave up.
She looked at Li Qingluo and said, "Don't you think she's pitiful?"
“They’re clearly locked up in this cold palace, yet I still have to bully them like this.”
Li Qingluo: "There must be something hateful about a pitiful person."
“She must have committed some unforgivable sin in the past, otherwise you wouldn’t still be unable to let go of it after all these years.”
Anar was very pleased with Li Qingluo's lack of excessive kindness.
She nodded and said, "Back then, she was my mother's most trusted confidante and her top maid."
“She grew up with her mother from a young age, and her mother treated her like a sister.”
“Her food, clothing, and even the jewelry she wore were sometimes more precious than those of her father’s other concubines.”
"It is no exaggeration to say that she is even more noble than the young ladies of the powerful families in Hara."
"Even her mother found her a good marriage—a young, handsome, and promising general!"
"But she's still not satisfied!"
"If she hadn't betrayed my mother back then and told my father that my mother planned to let me go, my father wouldn't have been on guard and devised a series of schemes to force me into a trap, and even killed my mother!"
"Afterwards, she successfully climbed into her father's bed and became one of the women in his harem."
"But what about my mother?"
"She bore children for her father, added fragrance to his sleeves, and accompanied him for twenty years."
"Just to force me to marry into the Wusun family, he killed my mother like he was treating livestock or a slave!"
“My mother was originally a little princess... If she hadn’t been taken to Hara City by my father, why would she have had to spend such a short life as a concubine?”
"And this vile woman clearly knew what my mother had suffered, yet she still betrayed her! But even if she becomes a concubine in the imperial harem, so what?"
“When my father was still alive, I only needed to use a little trick to send her to the cold palace, let alone now that no one in the entire city of Hara remembers her, that treacherous and despicable thing.”
"In this cold palace, she has to live to suffer and experience what it means to be worse than dead!"
Looking at Anar Li Qingluo in front of her, she realized that Anar Li Qingluo had never let go of her hatred.
The reason they even let this palace maid live was because they hated her so much.
It seems that only hatred can make her feel better.
And the reason why all of this was caused by Nangong Di abandoning everything and running away back then is no less.
If he had stayed and faced things with Anar instead of irresponsibly running away, things might not have turned out so badly.
At least, he could take Anar away from this inferno.
Over the years, Anar has clearly grown to hate even herself.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but look at her master, Nangong Di. Nangong Di was also deeply moved, and it was clear that he understood Anar's current situation.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, he was too ashamed to say it, and could only turn his face away, his expression full of pain.
Li Qinglu sighed inwardly.
She reminded Anar, "Senior, don't forget why you came here today."
Anar covered her face, finally regaining some of her senses.
"You're right, that bitch isn't important. I can't afford to lose Kurt too!"
"You wretch, I'll give you a chance. Tell me, has anything major happened in the Imperial Court recently?"
Anar grabbed the old woman by the collar and interrogated her, scaring the old woman so much that she closed her eyes and trembled all over, unable to answer anything.
Li Qingluo stepped forward and took Anar's hand.
"Senior, if you don't mind, how about I ask you?"
Anar snorted and tossed the old woman aside, then turned away.
The old woman fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Li Qinglu squatted down and came closer.
Perhaps it was her exquisite and beautiful face that made the old woman finally lower her guard a little, and she was no longer as scared as before, sobbing.
"Please, I don't know anything..."
Li Qingluo: "Do you want to die?"
The old woman was stunned.
"What, what did you say?"
Li Qingluo: "Actually, if you could just die cleanly, that would be the best outcome for you."
"Because I'm going to feed you a kind of insect."
"This worm will burrow into your stomach and feed on your internal organs every day."
"You won't die anytime soon."
"I can only experience excruciating pain that is worse than death, day after day."
"Not only that, you will also give off a smell similar to the aroma of roasted meat."
"When the aroma reaches their noses, do you think they, who have been starving for countless years, will be able to resist and treat you as an irresistible delicacy?"
As she spoke, Li Qingluo looked at the crazy women in the corner.
The old woman was terrified, her face filled with horror.
"No, no..."
Ignoring her fear, Li Qingluo slowly and deliberately took a small vessel from her waist.
It tilted and fell over from the inside.
A small, blood-red worm fell to the ground.
Li Qingluo pinched it with her fingernails, watching its plump body writhe wildly, as if it were eager to burrow into something.
Li Qingluo waved in front of the old woman, who immediately screamed in fright and rolled over to lie face down on the ground.
"Please, please spare me."
She then realized that this woman, who looked as gentle as a deity, was actually the most ruthless.
Li Qingluo: "If you're willing to answer properly, I can give you a quick death."
"Since you're going to die anyway, just consider it an act of atonement for your former master. If you meet her in hell, you can at least say a few words and tell her that you did something conscientious before you died."
"Otherwise, you will suffer the torment of being bitten alive, unable to die even if you want to!"
Choose.
However, the old woman still seemed hesitant.
Li Qingluo grew impatient.
He shouted, "Kill Four! Grip her mouth shut!"
Sha Si immediately stepped forward, making a move to pinch the old woman's face.
The old woman was terrified and immediately shouted, "Tell me, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything I know..."
The old woman cried and said, "But nothing major has really happened at the imperial court recently..."
Of those crazy women in the cold palace, how many are still sane? They spend their days sitting by the door, peering through the cracks to eavesdrop on what's happening outside.
Over the years, I wouldn't dare say they know everything.
However, the commotion inside the palace could hardly be kept secret from those in this courtyard.
They treat it as a pastime.
Little did they know, it was also a curse that would bring them death.
The old woman was filled with remorse. "I committed an unforgivable sin back then, and Allah has punished me over the years."
"But what else do I need to do..."
Li Qingluo: "Alright! Stop playing the victim here. You brought this mess upon yourself."
"Letting you die is a relief for you. Don't be ungrateful; you'll regret it if you don't listen to reason!"
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you can't answer, you'll have to eat bugs."
"Speak, has any important person in the Imperial Court died in the past six months?"
After a pause, Li Qingluo added, "Those from collateral branches also count."
Anar came out of the courtyard looking annoyed.
Li Qingluo carefully placed the container of insects away, and Anar asked her, "Are these insects really that powerful?"
"I've heard there's a Miao region in the Great Chu Kingdom, where the people are skilled in witchcraft and sorcery. Last time, your subordinates said you had connections to the Miao region..."
Li Qingluo: "It's just nonsense, just to scare her."
"Where in the world can you find such a powerful insect?"
"Although this insect was indeed given to me by my senior sister, it's just a little pet I use to scare people."
"Senior, the results I just received indicate that no fewer than ten people have died in the Imperial Court in the past six months. Do you have any clues about this?"
Anar glanced at a group of people passing by in the distance and whispered, "We'll talk about it when we get back tonight."
"I think I just saw Kurt's personal attendant. Come, let's go take a look!"
The group followed silently, only to find themselves outside the Queen's palace.
Just as Anar was puzzled, she saw Kurt storm out of the Queen's palace.
Anar's eyes widened instantly.
When Kurt walked towards them, she quickly led Li Qingluo and her group to hide around the corner. Only after everyone had completely left did she slowly emerge again.
Li Qingluo understood from her eyes.
"Is that your son, the King of Wusun—Kurt?"
Anar glanced at Nangong Di subtly, then nodded: "I don't know whether he is or isn't right now."
After all, it was just an empty shell; they all knew that the soul of the internal energy had long been replaced.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Di immediately took two more steps forward.
That's his son?
