"Didn't Gu Beiyi tell you that his maternal clan is extremely powerful, with influence spanning the four kingdoms? Before, his maternal clan didn't make a move and supported Gu Beiyi all along. But when Gu Beiyi conquered the four kingdoms and was about to ascend the throne, they suddenly turned against him! Do you know why? It's because Gu Beiyi's mother has always disliked Gu Beiyi, thinking that Gu Beiyi is a dirty thing and unworthy of being her son! She also couldn't accept that Gu Beiyi had the blood of her grandfather, the Emperor, flowing in his veins!"
So Gu Beiyi's mother secretly groomed her nephew, hoping to place him on the imperial throne! Now? They've already captured Gu Beiyi. All I need to do is send your corpse to him, and he'll surely compromise! Then I can break away from the empire, restore the Qingluan Kingdom, and become his emperor!
Seeing Gu Chen's expectant look, Rong Sheng sneered, "Heh! She doesn't even spare her own son, how could she possibly let you restore Qingluan Kingdom and become a thorn in their side!"
"You stinking woman!"
*Smack!*
Gu Chen slapped Rong Sheng several times hard, leaving her face covered in finger marks. Rong Sheng then coughed up a mouthful of scarlet blood and fainted.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng swallowed hard in horror, but silently memorized Gu Chen's appearance. She vowed that once she left Gu Beiyi's dream, she would draw his face and find out who he was, why he dared to attack her in Gu Beiyi's dream, and why he had beaten her so badly!
The scene shifts to a place filled with the smell of blood and littered with corpses.
Here? Rong Sheng didn't know where she was, but she saw Gu Beiyi here. However, Gu Beiyi was not as dejected as she had seen him before. He was imposing and his handsome face was expressionless and cold, like a cold knife. Just looking at him felt like her flesh was being cut.
"Gu Beiyi, I told you long ago that you are too merciful and will not be able to hold the throne! If you want to hold the throne, you must remember one thing: even your closest relatives can be killed! Even if that person is your own mother!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng's gaze fell on the woman who had spoken.
This woman looked very excited, exuding a mature woman's charm. Judging from her age, she was probably around forty years old, but she also radiated a bloodthirsty aura, as if everyone else in the world was an ant!
"Guards! Drag that vile woman 'Rong Sheng' up here!" the woman ordered sternly.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Chen appeared, carrying 'Rong Sheng' in his hand.
"Sheng Sheng!" Gu Beiyi let out a pained, agonizing cry, as if the fear came from his very soul!
"Gu Beiyi! Don't worry about me! Kill them! You must kill them!" 'Rong Sheng' stared intently at Gu Beiyi: "Gu Beiyi, I'm so glad to have met you and fallen in love with you in this life! I feel I haven't let down the time I came from the future to find you. If there is an afterlife, I, Rong Sheng, still want to be with you. This time, we will definitely grow old together and be happy for a lifetime! I will also keep my promise, so Gu Beiyi, do it!"
"No! No! No!" Gu Beiyi cried out in anguish, "Sheng Sheng, don't say such things, I'll definitely scare you! I want a next life, but I also want to be happy in this life! So, wait for me to save you!"
"Shengbao, your second brother is here! Your second brother will definitely kill these despicable people! He will definitely kill them!"
"Your Highness, we will definitely save you, please don't give up!"
Gu Beiyi's mother sneered and grabbed Rong Sheng by the neck with her large hand: "Gu Beiyi, for the sake of you being the child I carried for ten months, hand over the imperial seal, military tally, and everything else! And write the abdication edict! As long as you obediently do as I ask, I will definitely not let your beloved die."
Seeing this, Rong Sheng swallowed hard in horror and silently watched what Gu Beiyi would do.
"Impossible! I've meticulously planned for this day for so long, how could I possibly give it to you so easily? Do you really think that just because you're my mother, I should listen to you in everything? Even if we both suffer heavy losses today, even if I die here, I will not let you have your way!" Gu Beiyi said coldly and resolutely.
"Kill!" Instantly, shouts of killing arose everywhere. Rong Sheng saw soldiers falling one after another into pools of blood, and saw one after another desperately trying to kill the other with a single blow. In no time, the ground was covered in blood, as if a torrential rain had fallen, and the corpses on the ground were countless, piled up like mountains.
Gu Beiyi and his second brother fought bravely, killing one person after another without any mercy. However, they rushed towards Rong Sheng, trying to save her. But Gu Beiyi's mother was too vicious. She tightly gripped Rong Sheng's neck with her large hand, preventing her from making a sound. She would die at Gu Beiyi's mother's hands in the next moment.
"Sheng Sheng! Don't give up easily, wait for me! I'm coming to save you!" Gu Beiyi was very fast. After killing the people blocking his way, he leaped towards his mother and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.
The sharp sword coldly pierced his mother's chest. At that moment, Rong Zheng also came up behind Gu Beiyi's mother and slashed at her arm with his sword. Blood spurted out instantly, and 'Rong Sheng', who was being held by Gu Beiyi's mother, was freed.
only--
"Sheng Sheng!!" Gu Beiyi cried out in misery and pain.
Because 'Rong Sheng' is already on her deathbed.
"Sheng Sheng, don't leave me!"
"Shengbao!" Rong Zheng cried out in anguish, "Second brother is here! You must live! The Valley Master is coming soon. He has learned your medical skills and can definitely save you! You must hold on!"
Rong Sheng's tears streamed down her face. As if sensing the fear emanating from Gu Beiyi and Rong Zheng, her heart clenched uncontrollably. Overwhelmed with pain, she collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless, as if she were the person in Gu Beiyi's arms, as if she were about to die at any moment.
"Gu Beiyi, you must live on, live on with our hope," Rong Sheng said to Gu Beiyi in a low, intermittent voice.
Gu Beiyi shook his head: "No! Sheng Sheng! We must live on, we must live on together! You can't selfishly abandon me! Sheng Sheng! You promised me that no matter heaven or hell, you would be with me! You would never leave me!"
"I'm sorry, I have to break my promise! I don't want to leave you either, but I have no choice. My life force is rapidly fading, and I'm about to die! Gu Beiyi, you must live on, you must make those people die! You must avenge me, and you must manage the empire well! I will be watching over you from heaven!"
