"Well, just take it as me lying to you! Too bad you're such a fool. Ning Wei doesn't even respect me, his legitimate daughter; he can kill me whenever he wants..."
"Would he care about a son born out of wedlock? And a fake at that!"
"Is the reason you get so into character because you're overconfident, thinking you're exceptionally intelligent and special to him, which is extremely important?"
Every word Ning Xi'er spoke was like a heavy blow, striking Xu Yan's heart...
He was emotionally disbelieving, but he couldn't suppress the plummeting sense of loss in his heart.
For over a decade, he was merely a pawn to be manipulated...
The image of his grandfather, Xu, teaching him swordsmanship step by step when he was young flashed through his mind...
I hope he will succeed, but that's all.
It wasn't for the sake of bringing glory to his family; he simply believed he was destined for greatness...
Eunuch Xu only wanted to be his ladder, his arm to rely on.
Taking care of the prince was an act of loyalty, but Eunuch Xu's meticulous care for him was in no way inferior, taking on the roles of both parent and child...
And what did he do?!
More than a decade has passed like a dream, a struggle between reason and reality, a tug-of-war between denial, resistance, and a deep-seated understanding...
Xu Yan suddenly erupted, breaking free from the guards restraining him, snatching a long sword, and preparing to commit suicide by hanging himself...
But Ning Xi'er moved just as swiftly, kicking away the long sword while simultaneously breaking the object in her hand and pouring the liquid into Xu Yan's mouth...
Bai Zhi and Gan Cao were worried that Ning Xi'er would get hurt, so they followed closely behind her.
Ning Xi'er was very strong; she snapped the glass tube in her hand.
Only then did his true anger surface.
The unusual taste in his mouth startled Xu Yan for a moment.
Realizing that Ning Xi'er would not let him go, why bother committing suicide?
He didn't spit out a single drop of the liquid that was poured into his mouth; he quietly awaited death...
Ning Xi'er's lips curled into a cold smile, "Remember this feeling well! Because..."
"This is the mercury you gave Eunuch Xu. When he takes effect, he will have the same symptoms..."
Xu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath as if someone had grabbed his throat, and collapsed to the ground.
Ning Xi'er looked down at him, witnessing all his expressions. This almost became Eunuch Xu's fate...
Xu Yan clutched his head, as if trying to crack it open, then gagged; the mercury had likely corroded his respiratory tract...
Even so, Xu Yan did not utter a single word of begging for mercy.
Given the situation, perhaps he no longer wanted to live, but only wanted a quick death...
But, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
Even if I must die, I must bear the guilt and suffer the pain I deserve before I go...
Otherwise, the living would be too innocent.
Ning Wei actually managed to brainwash Xu Yan, making him believe that he was Ning Wei's biological son and that he refused to believe in the more than ten years of upbringing he received from his grandfather, Xu...
Even if they don't believe it, they can still turn around and accuse someone, secretly poisoning Eunuch Xu and harming those around Xie Zhun at any time...
Even after more than a decade, Eunuch Xu couldn't shake the heart of such a person...
Ning Xi'er asked herself if she had the confidence to change the heart of someone who had already been corrupted.
How could Eunuch Xu bear to know the truth?
She also felt it was impossible to let such a malignant tumor continue to stay by Xie Zhun's side.
In the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, Xu Yan breathed his last.
Ning Xi'er watched helplessly as he writhed on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, until he breathed his last.
In this lifetime, this is the first time she has personally taken action to understand someone...
But she knew this wouldn't be the last.
She is fearless in order to protect those around her.
From now on, even if she faces more bloodshed, she will not hesitate.
Ningwei...
You even killed your own daughter; you're unworthy of being a father!
Even though he had always envisioned rescuing his mother, brother, and maternal grandfather's family, seizing the throne coveted by his scumbag father and the crown prince, and avenging the original owner of this body...
But Ning Xi'er never imagined taking her scumbag father's life...
Now, I've personally confirmed that Xu Yan was someone he planted. He tried to kill her twice and carried out several assassination attempts in between; I don't know which ones were his doing...
Given the ruthlessness of those assassins, they had already planned to capture Xie Zhun and her in one fell swoop...
So, how many times did he actually kill her?!
A fierce glint flashed in Ning Xi'er's eyes, which was clearly seen by the person who stepped out from the darkness.
Wei Xunfang.
He looked Ning Xi'er up and down.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and Xu Yan, who was lying motionless on the ground...
Ning Xi'er lifted her eyelids slightly, making no attempt to hide it.
This is her true nature. If he's unhappy, she can continue to prevent Xie Zhun from being with her...
Ning Xi'er silenced him to prevent him from speaking and making a fuss!
The hatred was so intense that Ning Xi'er didn't even notice Wei Xunfang's exclamation...
It felt like I was being held tightly in a warm embrace!
