The moment the man spoke, his aura was overwhelming.
The relaxed atmosphere at the table just moments before froze as he spoke.
Ruyi and Yanshi exchanged a glance.
Yu Xueqiao, on the other hand, remained extremely calm and smiled, "Being a regent is indeed different; you have such discerning eyes."
She sighed, "I have two daughters. They were both tricked into entering the palace, determined to become the concubines of the Western Qin Emperor, but I..."
"You all know, everyone in the entire Five Continents knows, what kind of person this Western Qin Emperor is."
"He's a useless tyrant who's fickle, obsessed with the beauty of women in his harem, and neglects state affairs. How could I let my daughter marry such a person?"
"What's more, they are sisters, and this isn't the first time they've argued over this man."
Xiao Tang's curiosity was completely piqued upon hearing her words.
"Oh, so that means... the secret room was actually used by your two daughters before? Did they also have Gu poison?"
She's just making wild guesses.
Why would you want to create a secret room in a perfectly good bookstore like Zhongshuge?
Moreover, the layout of that secret room was nothing special; there was only a cold jade bed, and no tables or chairs, it was completely empty.
When Di Jingling went in, he probably couldn't even smash anything.
This configuration seems to have been specially prepared for Di Jingling?
Yu Xueqiao seemed to be taken aback by Xiao Tang's words.
She stared at Xiao Tang, her expression becoming more serious: "Yes, they all have Gu poison, and... it's the same as Jing Ling's Gu poison."
"What???" Xiao Tang asked in disbelief.
What did I just hear?! I was absolutely shocked!
[Oh my god, what should we do? The main villain is definitely starting to question his existence.]
Who can withstand this?
Seeing their somewhat shocked expressions, Yu Xueqiao lowered her eyes and smiled, "Shocking? It's just... my sister and I have both fallen for the same man."
Xiao Tang: "!!!"
[Does this mean...the woman who entered the palace twice was Di Jingling's sister?]
While she was taken aback, she still glanced at Di Jingling's expression a few more times.
His handsome features remained composed.
However, Xiao Tang was unsure how mixed his feelings must be.
In fact, it was quite normal for two sisters to share a husband in ancient times.
And in a place like Dongyuan Kingdom...
"Uh... why is everything so complicated?"
"It's not chaotic, hehe. My sister ran away from her arranged marriage to come to the Great Sheng Kingdom. She was immediately captivated by the Crown Prince of Great Sheng and married as his Crown Princess. It's just a pity that the Crown Prince of Great Sheng is not a good person either."
"He and that scoundrel are mortal enemies. He knew long ago that his sister was that scoundrel's runaway empress, so he deliberately married her and left her to languish in the harem."
"Later... hehe, in order to get revenge on that bastard, he ruined my sister's reputation, oh, that is, the good brother who gave birth to you."
"Later on, that bastard chased after her to Dasheng. In order to get revenge on her, he repeatedly ruined her behind your cheap father's back."
“That bastard is your own father, the late emperor of Dongyuan Kingdom.”
Xiao Tang opened her mouth in astonishment.
Di Jingling remained calm and unmoved.
"After all, they were people afflicted by the Gu worms. They were devoured by the Gu worms long ago, leaving only empty shells. My two poor daughters!"
I don't know what Yu Xueqiao was feeling when she said these things.
She looked up, her eyes a little red.
However, she was still smiling.
"I was just a substitute for my sister. I was forced into the palace and became that scoundrel's concubine. Later, I couldn't fight against those women, so I faked my death and escaped from the palace."
"It's alright, I've managed to survive with my two daughters, and we're doing just fine."
"Exactly... Now they're repeating the same mistakes, and I really don't want to see that!"
Xiao Tang remained silent.
The chopsticks couldn't be moved.
I'm not in the mood to eat anymore.
What kind of melodramatic plot is this?!
I really don't want to hear this!
What's most unbelievable about her is that of Di Jingling's mother, what a tragic woman.
Sure enough, the evil deeds sown by the previous generation must be repaid by the next.
What did Di Jingling do wrong to deserve being tormented by Gu poison for so many years?
Just think about how panicked Di Jingling must have been when he first suffered a Gu poison attack as a child?
Xiao Tang put down her chopsticks and gently took Di Jingling's hand under the table.
His hands are so cold.
It was so cold that her hands trembled twice.
Di Jingling said slowly, "So, you think I can help you get your daughter out?"
“I…I don’t know who to turn to. You, you can at least get into the Western Qin Imperial Palace, but I can’t.”
The woman, who had been smiling menacingly just moments before, finally panicked when her daughter was mentioned.
"Help me. I'll give you the Eternal Silence Jade Pendant I got; it's useless to me."
[Oh ho~ If it's useless, why not just give it to me directly? Why say you'll help me first before giving it to me?]
After all, you can't see into someone's heart.
This aunt was still cautious.
And to say that Yu Xueqiao wouldn't hate Di Jingling's mother.
How could that be?
She was used as a substitute. If it were her, she would have quit long ago.
Xiao Tang squeezed Di Jingling's wrist tightly again.
The force was very strong.
Di Jingling could sense that she wanted to give him some strength.
I feel like laughing for no reason.
He didn't really care that much.
He was determined to get his hands on those three pieces of lucky jade.
Slowly, he said in a low voice, "Okay, I agree."
Yu Xueqiao's eyes lit up. "Can you take me into the palace?"
"sure."
"I want to go too!" Xiao Tang said quickly, "I..."
