Lu Xuefan was taken out of the dark cell and sent to another dark cell that was cold and damp. There were a lot of spiders and rats here, which could be seen crawling on the ground or walls, making people's skin crawl.
When she was brought to this place, she saw a tall man standing in front of her. The man's back looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't quite remember where.
"Your Highness, the person has been brought here."
Gu Beiyi slowly turned around: "You can all go down now, and keep watch outside."
"yes!"
When Lu Xuefan saw the man's face clearly, she was shocked and opened her mouth wide. "You...you're the one who captured us? Why?" But damn it, you actually tried to capture me!
Gu Beiyi's cold, mocking dark eyes fell on Lu Xuefan: "Old woman, I have never seen you before, but you seem to know me. Speak, who are you?"
Lu Xuefan was startled. That's right, Gu Beiyi didn't know her yet. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. That bastard Lu Mian was no longer reliable. If Gu Beiyi was obedient and let her control him, the restoration of the previous dynasty would be just around the corner.
After all, this child is far superior to Lu Mian in both strength and courage.
Lu Xuefan tried her best to calm herself down, and then put on a loving mother's expression, as if the sinister look she had shown in the recording had never appeared. She spoke gently and softly: "Child, my child, you don't even recognize me? Look at me carefully, see if there is anything similar between us."
Seeing Lu Xuefan's pretentious and insincere act in order to survive and restore the previous dynasty, Gu Beiyi sneered: "Old woman, you are really shameless, daring to try to get on my good side. Do you know who I am? You are not someone you can associate with."
Gu Beiyi originally wanted to send Lu Xuefan straight to hell, but seeing her like this, he decided to play with her slowly.
Lu Xuefan knew that it was impossible for Gu Beiyi to believe that she was his mother so easily unless she could produce evidence. But how could she produce evidence right now?
"My child, I have no relation to you. Every word I am about to say is true. Whether you believe me or not, I want to tell you everything before I die."
Lu Xuefan wasn't stupid. If she still didn't understand who had captured them and was torturing them by this point, then she would really be doing a disservice to her brain.
She just couldn't understand why Gu Beiyi would suddenly turn against them.
Gu Beiyi's initial power was built through their efforts. They deserve credit for their hard work, but in the eyes of the world and Gu Beiyi, they were already dead.
She has never appeared under Gu Beiyi's nose. Over the years, she has devoted all her attention to Lu Mian, but Lu Mian is a good-for-nothing who has disappointed and saddened her.
Gu Beiyi is her son, with half of her blood flowing in his veins. He is also a descendant of the previous dynasty, just not a direct descendant.
Lu Mian is already ruined. As long as she makes Gu Beiyi understand her, the restoration of the previous dynasty is just around the corner.
"Mother? Heh!" Gu Beiyi sneered. If it weren't for everything that happened in his past life, he might have accepted this mother. Unfortunately, this mother was ambitious and ruthless. Even at this critical juncture, she still tried to outsmart him. He really didn't know whether to call her clever or stupid.
Lu Xuefan said firmly, "Yes, my good child, I am your mother. I originally didn't plan to tell you and just live out my life like this, but I never expected that we, mother and son, would meet. Seeing that you look seven or eight parts like your father, I am very happy."
Seeing the complex emotions of love and hate in Lu Xuefan's eyes, Gu Beiyi sneered indifferently, "Happy? If I didn't need you, how could I be happy?"
"Back then, when your father was seriously ill, the entire court accused me of bringing disaster to the country and its people, saying I was the reincarnation of the demoness Daji, specifically sent to ruin the Qingluan Kingdom. Your father was too weak, and I didn't want him to worry, so I planned to leave with him." Lu Xuefan looked at Gu Beiyi with teary eyes and said slowly.
"After your father passed away, I followed him, but I never expected to be rescued. However, after being rescued and waking up, I lost my memory until a year ago when I regained it."
Since regaining her memory, I've thought of you every day. You want to see you, but you're already a prince, second only to the emperor. My presence would only bring you endless trouble, and I've heard the emperor has always treated you badly, always wanting to...
So, your mother thought and thought, and thought and thought again. Since I'm already dead, there's no need for me to appear in your life and disturb you. Therefore, I haven't come looking for you. But fate has other plans. I never imagined that we, mother and son, would meet. It's such a joy for me; I never thought we would meet again.
Gu Beiyi coldly watched Lu Xuefan's self-directed and self-acted performance, trying to move him with the mother-son relationship and make him work for her. He was very sorry, but please forgive his cold and ruthless heart. All his feelings were reserved for one person—Rong Sheng.
What does it matter to him whether other people live or die?
"Are you done talking?" Gu Beiyi asked coolly.
Lu Xuefan was taken aback: "Yi'er, do you not believe what your mother is saying?"
"Did you just realize that?" Gu Beiyi said disdainfully, "Lu Xuefan, you're too clever for your own good. Now that I've captured you, how could I possibly release you so easily? I would never do something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountain."
Lu Xuefan's dark eyes narrowed, and she gritted her teeth inwardly. "Yi'er, why are you treating your mother like this?"
"Why?" Gu Beiyi sneered, "Lu Xuefan, what do you say? You've forgotten everything you've done. Should I remind you, you former princess?!"
At that moment, Lu Xuefan finally understood, "You knew everything."
"Unfortunately, you can't escape! When I make a move, I will wipe out all the weeds. All the remnants of the previous dynasty in Wei Qicheng, as well as all your henchmen, and all your forces in the martial arts world or within the four kingdoms, will be eradicated by me without leaving a single one alive."
Faced with Gu Beiyi's cold and ruthless demeanor, Lu Xuefan sneered, "You think you can get away with this?" Having already been exposed, Lu Xuefan no longer wanted to act. From Gu Beiyi's attitude and the events before and after his arrest, Lu Xuefan knew that they really couldn't escape.
"Lu Xuefan, stop making futile counterattacks, as they are of no use to me. From the moment you were captured, all the power you painstakingly built has been wiped out by the Shadowless Tower! I have been preparing for ten whole years to destroy all the remnants and forces of the previous dynasty!"
