Chapter 635 My master is a real heartless man!
After being released, Anar had no strength left to struggle.
He even collapsed to the ground, his body limp.
Where is the previous madness and obsession?
Tears streamed down her beautiful face. As if she had finally found an outlet, she stammered, "I had no other choice."
"Otherwise, do you really think I still want to see him?"
"Back then, Nangong Di ruthlessly packed up and left. By the time I discovered I was pregnant, he was nowhere to be found."
“I originally wanted to go to the Central Plains to find him, but at that time the imperial court was facing some crises. My father disregarded my wishes and wanted to marry me off to Wusun.”
"So they sent guards to keep me locked up in the room day and night, not allowing me to leave even a step."
“I also hoped in the darkness that he would come back and take me away.”
"Even if I don't become a princess, I still want to be with him."
"But I waited for dawn time and time again, only to never see him again."
"I cried until I had no tears left, but I still planned to run away. However, on the eve of my wedding, my mother, who was determined to help me leave, suddenly died mysteriously!"
"At the time, I had no idea who the real culprit was, so I cried and made a scene, refusing to get married. Because I knew that my mother had definitely been murdered!"
“My father found me and said that if I insisted on not marrying, he would not hand over the real culprit who harmed my mother.”
"He also knew that my mother died because of me."
What other options do I have?
"I agree to marry, but I ask my father to hand over the murderer who killed my mother. The moment I personally kill the real culprit will also be the moment I leave home after getting married."
"It wasn't until I held power in Wusun for many years that I gradually came to understand. What kind of person actually killed the real culprit?"
"The real culprit who killed my mother was my father, the Emperor!"
"He orchestrated that whole thing to force me into marriage, using hatred to control me and make me marry willingly because of my mother's death. He's the real culprit!"
"But I hate you too!! Nangong Di!"
"If you hadn't betrayed me and left me alone, pregnant and waiting for you, I wouldn't have begged my mother to send me away..."
Anar collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Nangong Di looked even more remorseful.
Just then, a mournful sigh came from outside the door: "My poor child—"
A figure staggered in.
He then embraced Anar, who was lying on the ground, and cried, "My poor child. Is this how your mother died? Why didn't you tell me?"
"At least your aunt can stand up for you!!"
"My poor Anar, how did you manage to survive in Wusun back then?"
The person who entered was none other than the Empress Dowager of Loulan.
Not only him, but the King and Queen of Loulan also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
Li Qingluo had not expected things to develop to this point.
Originally, she intended to kidnap Anar so that she could leave with her master.
Who knew...
This is an extremely troublesome situation.
Moreover, Li Qing vaguely saw some resemblance to his mother in this Empress Dowager.
When Li Qingluo first entered the Loulan Palace and saw the appearance of these people, she was already greatly shocked.
Seeing these faces again now still fills me with surprise.
The King of Loulan was also staring coldly at Li Qingluo, as if she were already dead.
Li Qingluo rubbed his forehead, looked at Nangong Di who was already extremely weak and in pain, and couldn't help but complain, "Master, back then... sigh, it was indeed your fault."
To put it bluntly, he's a complete heartless man.
These injuries... are not undeserved.
Li Qingluo certainly wouldn't dare say these words aloud.
I'm afraid that two blows might actually anger my master to death.
On the other side, Anar cried herself to sleep in the arms of the Empress Dowager of Loulan, and then slowly said, "Aunt, Anar was too naive back then, thinking that love was more important than anything else, which is why I stubbornly and willfully begged Mother to set me free."
"My mother... wasn't she killed by Anar?"
How could Anar possibly tell her aunt the truth?
"However, I was also responsible for my father's sudden death two years ago. So I can say that I avenged my mother."
Anar wiped away her tears, her emotions seemingly calmed down considerably.
She suddenly looked up at Li Qingluo and his apprentice.
Li Qinglu was startled again.
Are those words really something that outsiders from other races should be listening to?
Is Anar planning to join forces with the Loulan people to wipe them out?
Li Qingluo still stood in front of Nangong Di.
"This... I was unaware of the truth just now, so my words and actions were somewhat disrespectful. Here, I would like to apologize to everyone, especially to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager of Wusun."
“Master has indeed wronged you, causing you so much suffering over the years. It is only right that you vent your anger on him no matter what.”
"But as a disciple, I can't just sit idly by and watch my master get beaten to death by you."
"In this regard, I am willing to make a deal with you. What would you like to do to release my master?"
"After all, even if he really is dead, even if you really get your revenge, wouldn't you still have killed the father of your child? If your senior brother finds out, how will he face the truth?"
"So, how about you name your terms, and we resolve this grievance peacefully?"
Before Anar could speak, the Empress Dowager of Loulan exclaimed, "Absurd!"
"This man from the Central Plains betrayed Anar back then, causing her endless suffering. Even if he is Kurt's biological father, he deserves to die!"
"Even if you are a princess of Mantuo City, don't even think about interfering in this matter!"
"Guards, arrest them all!"
The sounds of clashing weapons could be heard outside.
It seems that even if the Loulan Royal Palace has more guards, it won't be so easy for anyone to capture Li Qingluo tonight.
Li Qingluo knew this was her last chance.
She quickly spoke up, saying, "Instead of both of us suffering losses, wouldn't it be better for us to sit down and talk things out calmly?"
"My heart aches for my guards who risked their lives for me. Does the King of Loulan really think he would sacrifice his own palace guards just to capture us, who are sincere?"
"It is said that the King of Loulan loved his people like his own children. It was precisely because he cherished the lives of the people of the kingdom that he disliked war, was afraid of killing, and almost never interacted with foreign tribes."
"Even by submitting to the Hala Royal Court and paying countless tributes of gold and silver to the court every year, it was only to prevent the warlike court from invading Loulan and to ensure the peace of the people of Loulan. Therefore, we compromised and became a small country under the court's control."
"The King of Loulan wouldn't want this peace and tranquility to be completely shattered, would he?"
“If I really get into trouble in your Loulan, Mantuo City will definitely not let it go.”
"Although Mantuo City is still just a small city, neither the Great Liang nor the Great Chu can take it back, and the Western Regions can't take it either."
"Your Majesty, you may well consider its combat strength."
However, the King of Loulan seemed to be furious at this moment.
Even though Li Qingluo's words were so clear, the King of Loulan only let out a cold laugh.
"Enough!"
"There are very few people in this world who can threaten me, or even Loulan!"
"Girl, you're still too young."
"I am indeed weary of war and afraid of killing, but I will never allow anyone to bully Loulan!"
“Your master, Nangong Di, has wronged my cousin so badly! I will not be able to quell my hatred until I kill him today.”
"Whatever you say, he must die!"
Li Qingluo's eyes turned cold and ruthless.
At worst, we'll fight to the death. With their strength, surely they can take Master out of this Loulan Palace today?
Moreover, the King of Loulan is right in front of us; if we were to capture him as well…
Just as Li Qingluo was about to make a move, Zhuiyu rushed in, covered in blood.
"But what if we add Lan Haiwang to the mix!?"
"It's not just Lan Haiwang, but also Tianfeng Trading Company."
"Not only Tianfeng Trading Company, but also the famous Medicine King Valley!"
"It's not just Medicine King Valley, but also the Prince Su of Liang, the Prince Yue of Chu, and even the May Cult of Miao territory!"
"King of Loulan, are you really going to completely provoke this person before you? Do you even know who she is?!"
Zhuiyu didn't make things too clear.
But when he brought out these identities and backgrounds, it was enough to intimidate the King of Loulan and even the others in the palace.
Li Qingluo remained silent, simply staring at the King of Loulan with no fear or hesitation in her eyes.
The sounds of killing outside the palace grew louder and louder, and the clashes between soldiers became increasingly frequent.
The King of Loulan heard his guards shouting, "Damn it, they can't kill him at all!"
"They wore soft armor, impervious to swords and blades—"
Upon hearing this, the King of Loulan's expression changed drastically. He quickly reached out and shouted, "Stop!"
"Everyone, stop!"
The sounds carried outside the hall, and the fighting outside still hadn't stopped.
King Loulan quickly looked at Li Qingluo, who then gave the order: "Everyone, stop."
The courtyard, both inside and out, finally fell into a deathly silence.
The King of Loulan was so angry that his veins bulged. He had never been coerced or humiliated in this way before.
Li Qingluo, however, remained calm and simply helped Nangong Di turn around.
"It's too late tonight."
"Master is seriously injured and needs to rest."
"As for the rest, let's discuss it tomorrow. Everyone, please forgive us for bothering you for another night."
The King of Loulan asked her, "Who exactly are you?"
Li Qingluo: "Tomorrow, my daughter will definitely reveal her true identity."
"Why don't you all think about how to exchange terms with me?"
"In this way, we can live in peace."
She was determined to save him!
Even if Loulan refuses to release her, she must be saved today.
However, this matter is not so easily resolved.
Li Qingluo understood, and Nangong Di understood even more.
He looked at Anar, his eyes seeming to hold a thousand words he wanted to say to her.
However, when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one.
Because at this point, saying anything is useless.
Anar glared at him fiercely, as if she hated him to the core no matter what he said.
The two were thus completely separated, and Li Qingluo helped Nangong Di walk out of the hall.
She glanced at her murdered sons and saw that although they were all covered in blood, at least they were still alive.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately called Qin Ling over.
