Chapter 569 Of the two of you, only one can live.
The King of Qin convulsed in pain, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, yet he still argued, "She...she's talking nonsense...this is all her scheme..."
"Innocence is your child."
"Consort Ning, don't be deceived by the thieves!"
"I only valued the Fourth Prince's character, which is why I have devoted myself to supporting him all these years."
"He and I are only related by blood as uncle and nephew..."
"That kinship test is all fake!"
"Consort Ning, it doesn't matter if I die..."
"But you and the Fourth Prince and his mother, and His Majesty and his wife, must not fall into the trap of treacherous schemes and become estranged..."
"Thus, we have completely fallen into the villain's trap..."
"The Munemasa clan, from now on... will be scattered and separated..."
Is this what you wanted to see?
Li Qinglu shook her head and sneered: "Still being stubborn."
"That would be a real pity for Zulya."
"It's a shame that such a vicious person never uttered a single word about you and your son until her death."
"And yet you are unwilling to even acknowledge her existence."
"What was the purpose of her life, really?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin was shocked: "She...she's dead?"
Consort Ning was driven somewhat mad by the truth.
She cut off the brocade around the King of Qin's abdomen and strode over to the fire-heated vessel, throwing it into it.
Then he turned around and went to the Fourth Prince, Zongzheng Wuxie.
She looked up, tears streaming down her face.
Reaching out, he removed the gag from Zongzheng Wuxie's mouth.
"My son..."
Did you already know the truth?
She cried out in anguish.
Zongzheng Wuxie also couldn't believe this fact.
"Mother."
"Your subject does not know."
"Your subject truly does not know!"
But many things in my mind have already become completely connected.
Zongzheng Wuxie had never imagined that the truth would be like this.
But now I understand why the witch named Zulya has been by his side since he was a child.
Every time she left the palace, she would take him on a trip and carefully teach him things that his mother had never taught him.
He finally understood why the King of Qin treated him so selflessly and sincerely, even a thousand times more attentive than his father!
It turns out that they were his biological parents.
It turns out he was the son of a mistress!
He is not a true heir of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor!
Zongzheng Wuxie was unwilling to face this fact.
Even though the old witch and the King of Qin had devoted themselves to him, and even though he had genuinely cared for them over the years...
But what does this feeling matter compared to the stain on her background?
"Mother!"
"Don't you trust your child?"
"I have grown up under Mother's care all these years. We are of one heart and have a deep bond. How could Mother doubt my parentage just because an outsider makes a little trick?"
"Mother! You are my only mother!!"
"Now my hand is crippled, don't you feel sorry for me?"
"Please stop joining forces with outsiders to doubt me. I can't bear it..."
Consort Ning: "Stop talking!"
She let out a low shout, her eyes turning red.
"I will personally verify the truth!"
It's clear that Consort Ning is suffering the most.
But she still slashed Zongzheng Wuxie's leg with a decisive and swift sword strike.
Ignoring Zongzheng Wuxie's screams, he waited until his trouser legs were stained with blood before personally cutting off the blood-stained trouser legs.
She cut the cloth in two, first throwing it into a vessel and then burning it again with the King of Qin's to verify its authenticity.
Looking at the blood-red flames, Consort Ning's heart sank into an icy abyss.
But after the fire was extinguished, she still cut her own arm.
Then he threw his blood-stained handkerchief and the remaining half of Zongzheng Wuxie's trouser leg into the fire.
The fire indeed turned green.
Consort Ning, unable to bear the blow, collapsed to the ground.
She cried out in anguish, "So, you really aren't my child."
"My real daughter was killed by you all long ago!!"
When others saw this truth, they were also utterly horrified.
The royal bloodline has been obscured by this King of Qin for so many years!
People couldn't help but look at Consort Ning with sympathy.
The real princess drowned.
The King of Qin's illegitimate son, born to a Miao witch, has been impersonating the son of a favored concubine for so many years, and almost ousted the crown prince to become the heir apparent!
Such an absurd thing! The King of Qin has such audacity!
Li Qingluo looked at Que'er.
Que'er quickly came over to help Consort Ning up: "Your Highness, please get up first."
Consort Ning was helped down, her body limp.
No matter how much Zongzheng Wuxie cried and shouted, she did not respond.
"Mother Consort—"
"Mother, is blood relation really that important? After all these years, has Wuxie not been your son?"
"Mother, Wuxie truly considers you his own mother!!"
"Over the years, Wu Xie was unaware of the truth. Wu Xie only wanted to be your child."
"Mother, do you really not want Wuxie anymore, not your son?!"
"Mother!!"
"Your son hates them too, and hates that he isn't your biological son, Mother!"
Li Qinglu sneered.
It turns out that blood ties are unimportant in the face of all those who have vested interests.
Take Liu Qingzhu, for example.
Even after learning about her own background, she was unwilling to return to the Liu family.
Because only the general's mansion offers wealth and honor.
Just like Li Chaojing and Qu Shi in the past, they raised Liu Qingzhu for sixteen years and even devoted their heart and soul to her. Therefore, compared with their more outstanding adopted daughter, they were even less willing to accept their own daughter, who was raised to be crude and vulgar.
In their eyes, they were nothing more than a useless weed.
So what if they are blood relatives?
Liu Qingzhu would bring them greater benefits, so they loved her even more.
However, it remains to be seen what Consort Ning's attitude will be.
He just looks so sad and pained right now.
Li Qingluo looked at the King of Qin first.
His opening line was sarcastic: "King Qin, is this your good son?"
After learning the truth, did he even glance at you once?
The King of Qin, his face pale, said, "I don't care!"
"No matter how much he denies it, the blood of this king flows in his veins!"
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared and interfered, he wouldn't even need to know any of this, and I would have found a way to get him out of the Heavenly Prison sooner or later. You've ruined what was originally a close call—"
"Who exactly are you—"
What angered the King of Qin even more was that he still did not know the identity of the person in front of him.
I don't understand his purpose at all.
Li Qingluo: "Don't you care?"
She didn't believe it.
She had Zongzheng Wuxie released.
Then they ordered the King of Qin to be released.
Both the injured father and son fell to the ground at the same time.
Li Qinglu threw a sword between them.
"Whoever kills the other first has a chance to live."
"Let's get started."
King of Qin: "You vile woman! I will not fall for your trick."
"I will kill you first—"
He scrambled to his feet, rushed over, grabbed his sword, and turned to stab Li Qingluo.
The people around Li Qingluo didn't even move.
I just watched this scene unfold with indifference.
Just as the King of Qin lunged forward, before his sword even touched Li Qingluo's clothes, Li Qingluo swiftly sidestepped and personally stepped forward, kicking him to the ground.
"you……"
The King of Qin lay on the ground, coughing up blood.
Li Qingluo crouched down and snatched the sword from his hand.
Then he lowered his body and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "King Qin, do you still remember Princess Qingyue?"
"Back then, you tricked her into returning to the Great Chu to visit her family. For your own purposes, you wanted to destroy her and Zongzheng Langri together."
"If Princess Qingyue hadn't been quick-witted and escaped this calamity, you would have already achieved your goal back then, wouldn't you?"
"You wanted to kill your brother and seize the throne, you wanted to sit on that position, you've been scheming for so many years, but in the end you're as pathetic as a dog, and you'll get nothing in the end."
Have you considered what your fate will be today?
The King of Qin's pupils suddenly contracted.
"you……"
"You're from Qingyue!?"
His face was full of disbelief, but he finally came to his senses.
He realized that everything this person had done was aimed at avenging Zongzheng Qingyue!
Li Qingluo: "Guess."
In fact, my mother only mentioned this matter briefly.
It is said that the King of Qin's childhood was even more tragic than that of his brother and sister, because he grew up in the inner palace.
After Zongzheng Langri ascended the throne, this Prince of Qin found an opportunity to escape and bumped into Zongzheng Qingyue.
After learning about his background, Munemasa Kiyotsuki personally brought him to Munemasa Ryōri.
Zongzheng Langri did not like the King of Qin at first.
But he was too good at disguising himself.
On one occasion, in order to save Zongzheng Qingyue from illness, he even risked his life to personally pick the life-saving herb growing on a cliff.
From then on, Zongzheng Langri began to value him more.
After Zongzheng Qingyue married into the Great Chu, he continued to correspond with her occasionally.
Until one day, the King of Qin suddenly said that he was about to die and might never see his favorite and closest sister again. He had recently been repairing the imperial mausoleum and learned that Zongzheng Langri wanted to move the stone coffin of the late empress. He was powerless to stop it. Zongzheng Qingyue, who had become a noble consort, immediately returned to the Great Chu to visit her family.
He only realized upon returning that the King of Qin had deceived him.
He seemed intent on making it known to the whole world that Zongzheng Langri harbored illicit feelings for Zongzheng Qingyue.
Fortunately, Zongzheng Qingyue repeatedly avoided her brother, and her resolute attitude made Zongzheng Langri understand something.
However, Munemasa Ryūji seemed to have tacitly approved of this.
They are neither proactive nor passive, yet they never refuse or avoid anything either.
This left Zongzheng Qingyue utterly heartbroken.
An older brother was plotting against him.
One of the brothers never let go of his filthy and unscrupulous thoughts towards him.
Zongzheng Qingyue found an opportunity to escape back to Daliang with Qinyu.
However, she could not escape the conspiracy and poisoning of those with ulterior motives in the Great Chu and those demons and monsters in the Great Liang harem.
The thought of this made Li Qingluo feel as if she were being stabbed with needles!
My mother was such a good person.
She is the most gentle, kind, dignified, virtuous, courageous, resolute, and discerning woman in the world.
"If it weren't for her back then, you would still be nothing more than the son of a slave in the inner palace!"
"Is this how you repay her?"
"Although she is dead, your evil deeds will never be forgotten by those in this world who still love her!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and threw the sword back into the middle.
"I'll give you another chance."
"Only one of you two will survive."
Choose.
