Chapter 394: It's really a little thing
"But my mother and I know that the Eighth Prince didn't die because of Concubine Jing's failure to take good care of him."
"Jingpin entered the palace three years ago and finally gave birth to a prince. She looked at him like the apple of her eye. Even if he cried, she would call the imperial physician to check. She would cut off the smallest thread in his socks for fear that it would hurt the child."
"You don't know, maybe? Concubine Jing personally coaxed the Eighth Prince to sleep every night before leaving. How could such a thoughtful person place something as sharp as a gold hairpin on a child's bed and cause him to be stabbed to death?"
"Later, I heard from the palace maids that after the Eighth Prince's wet nurse died, his son suddenly became the governor of a county and married the daughter of a wealthy businessman. And the place where his son became the governor... was exactly your Concubine Rou's hometown, Luzhou."
After Concubine Rou's hair was almost shaved, Guo Lu turned her attention to her legs. The reason why Concubine Rou did not struggle was because she was also fixed there by Bu Ruo's divine power.
Guo Lu took the dagger and took a deep breath, then stabbed Roufei's entire foot through her shoe. Roufei screamed in pain, and just as she was about to faint, the little girl shot out a pill which hit Roufei's mouth.
"Bubu is using pills to keep her alive. She's neither dead nor fainting. Aunt Lu, please continue."
Guo Lu slowly stabbed Concubine Rou's legs one by one, and each stab was filled with endless hatred.
"When I was five years old, I was playing ball with other princesses and princes in the Imperial Garden. Guo Shuangwen was passing by, and the Tenth Princess accidentally kicked the ball into her leg, causing her to fall. She said she fell, but because the palace maids protected her in time, she didn't even get a scratch."
"Half a month later, the tenth princess went missing. After three days and three nights of searching, she was finally found in a dry well in a remote garden."
"The palace maids brought the Tenth Princess out of the dry well. The imperial physician shook his head and buried her."
"Later, I accidentally overheard my mother telling the nanny that the Tenth Princess was actually pushed down. Before she was pushed down, the tendons in her feet were severed and her leg bones were broken inch by inch. The imperial physician saw it but didn't dare to say anything."
"Finally, Princess Ten's biological mother, Concubine Jing, went insane and drowned in the lake in the Imperial Garden."
"Rou Fei, it was you who did it, right? You are avenging Guo Shuangwen, right?"
"But you don't know that although Guo Shuangwen was young at the time, she was quite cunning. That day, when we were playing ball, she didn't leave the huge Imperial Garden but insisted on walking through us and even got kicked by the ball on purpose, all because the Emperor had recently awarded the Tenth Princess a golden bell."
"Rou Fei, your child is a child, but other people's children are not children?"
The man almost went crazy listening to Concubine Rou's screams: "Buruo! Your name is Buruo, right? Release Rou'er immediately, or I won't let you go."
Bu Ruo sneered: "Just use whatever tricks you have. I'm not afraid of you."
"Ouch, are you going to self-destruct? Just relying on that tiny inner elixir in your body?"
When the little girl heard that the man had an inner elixir, she quickly looked up and said, "Ah, it's really a tiny thing. If this thing explodes, it will probably not make much noise. Uncle Cenbei, please stay away from it. Don't let it get you nervous."
Bu Ruo: ...
Cen Bei:......
Guo Lu: …
"Bu Bu, you're a little girl...you can't keep saying those bullshit things."
The little girl nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you all about it behind your back from now on. Doesn't mom always curse people in secret? She thought my brother and I didn't hear it."
Bu Ruo: ...
The man looked at Guo Lu and then focused his gaze on Concubine Rou's face, instantly channeling all the evil magic in his body into his inner elixir.
Just when he was about to self-destruct and die together with the other party, a masked man in black suddenly climbed over from outside the palace wall, knocked the man unconscious, and carried him away on his shoulder.
"No need to chase them, let them go. If no one takes him away, I'm worried about how to get him back."
When Concubine Rou saw the man being taken away, her last glimmer of hope disappeared: "Guo...Guo Lu, let me go, I...I will apologize to you."
Guo Lu slashed through Concubine Rou's face, revealing the bone. "Apologize? Can your apology bring my mother back to life? Can your apology bring back to life those children you killed?"
"Rou Fei, what I've said are just a few of the things you've done over the years. You've done things that are against the will of heaven and earth, and you've taken many more lives than just these two."
"Your mother's family was weak and short of money, yet you used the money to buy an official position for your brother. The dog emperor favored you and promoted your brother, but what did your brother do?"
"Ten years ago, a famine struck southern Beining. The dog emperor appointed your brother as the imperial envoy to transport grain and fodder to provide disaster relief."
"But what about your brother? He actually sold all the grain at a high price, and then used the little money he had to buy some moldy old rice to provide disaster relief. All the money went into your pockets."
"My mother learned about this from a letter to my uncle. She exchanged all the valuables in the palace for rice to provide disaster relief. My second uncle also shipped all the grain from his grain shop."
"But that damned emperor later turned a deaf ear and attributed all the credit to your damned brother, turning a blind eye to the efforts of my mother and my second uncle's family, simply because he was afraid of the military power in my eldest uncle's hands."
When Concubine Rou heard what Guo Lu said, she yelled in dissatisfaction: "How can you blame me for this? It's all because of your maternal family's ignorance. If the Di family had handed over the military power earlier, how could the emperor treat you like this?"
Guo Lu sneered, "Really? My maternal grandfather's family has been loyal generals for generations, but that bastard emperor, because of his military power, sees my maternal grandfather and his family as thorns in his side, completely forgetting who he relies on to sit securely on his throne."
"He sent countless waves of secret guards to assassinate my uncle. If my uncle had handed over his military power, my Di family would have been gone from this world long ago!"
"But it doesn't matter now. My mother is dead, and I am with the princess. No one in this world can control my Di family anymore."
"My maternal grandparents and I will watch you die! Watch that dog emperor die! Watch the land of Beining change its master! Watch Beining disappear from this continent!!!"
After Guo Lu finished speaking, she stabbed Concubine Rou's heart with a knife. Concubine Rou died, but she remained in that fixed posture with her eyes open.
Bu Ruo walked over and helped Guo Lu, who had collapsed on the ground, up: "Well, Concubine Rou is dead, and Beining's dog emperor won't live much longer. Everything you hope for will come true."
"Let's go back."
Guo Lu nodded and followed Bu Ruo out of the Luoyang Palace, which had once been a nightmare. She watched with her own eyes as Bu Ruo waved his hand and set the entire palace on fire.
