Chapter 1342 Will You Kill Him?
This time, the sneer was filled with unspeakable cruelty.
"Why, are women really so stupid? The facts are right in front of you, and you still don't want to admit it?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Nan Yan suddenly flew into a rage. She threw the box and the heavy piece of paper in her hand away with all her might, as if she were throwing away burning coals. She shouted, "I can't see anything!"
“…”
The person opposite her did not let her go. He stared at her through the screen with eyes as sharp as swords.
"You really can't see?"
“…”
"But just now, the moment you got this piece of paper, you clearly saw it."
“…”
"You don't even need to read what the Emperor Gao did later, or what kind of guards he sent, or where he went. Just read the first three words, and you'll understand everything, right?"
“…”
"The Emperor Gao has been searching for Marquis Bowang for a long time. Even though he had been hiding in the Western Regions for so many years, the Emperor Gao did not give up searching for him. However, Marquis Bowang was no ordinary man. For so many years, he had kept his whereabouts well hidden. Until—"
Nan Yan trembled and whispered softly, "The year of Guichou..."
"Yes, it wasn't until this year that Emperor Gao finally found out his whereabouts."
“…”
"And don't you know better than anyone what happened this year?"
Nan Yan wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked, making her unable to speak or even breathe.
Of course she knows.
Before the capital relocation ceremony was held at the Great Altar, she used the key she picked up from the lake to open the box containing Zhu Feng's jade disc and took out his jade disc from it.
On his jade disc, his birth date and month were recorded with only three words:
The year of Guimao.
The year of Guichou is ten years later.
That is Zhu Feng...
She suddenly stretched out her hands and hugged her head tightly, not daring to think any further.
The mysterious figure behind the screen said in a cold voice, "You don't want to know, but the truth is right before your eyes. Your Emperor didn't return to the Central Plains until he was ten years old, to the side of Emperor Gao. As soon as he returned, Emperor Gao learned of your father's whereabouts and sent the Guards to eliminate him."
“…”
"You, and he, shouldn't have feelings for each other,"
He spoke each word, as if fate were declaring his verdict: "Something is a blood feud!"
Nan Yan curled up and shook her head desperately.
She doesn't want to listen, she doesn't want to know anything!
The man looked at her coldly. At this moment, he suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that this generous gift is just my own wishful thinking."
“…”
"Since you don't want to know, then you can just pretend that none of this happened, and even more so, pretend that the things in this diary don't exist."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Just as he made a move, Nan Yan suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
“…”
The man stopped and turned to look at her.
Nan Yan raised her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you telling me this?"
The man stood up and stood still, as if looking down at her.
"Why?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment. Although her heart was in a mess at this moment, the little bit of rationality she had left prevented her from breaking down. She continued to talk to this person: "Is it just to help me?"
The other party smiled faintly.
He said, "In that case, I can answer you with what you said before. Behind every benefit, there is a clearly stated IOU, which must be repaid. You and I are not close, but I certainly don't help you for nothing."
Nan Yan's breathing became heavier: "Then, why?"
The other party said word by word, solemnly: "Because I have a grudge against the emperor just like you."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart trembled suddenly.
Her voice trembled slightly: "What grudge?"
"Irreconcilable hatred."
“…”
Nan Yan said: "How can I trust you?"
"Do you still need to believe this?"
The other party sneered, "Although you don't know my identity, you must have guessed it. I am the force behind Jian Ruocheng in Jinling. It was also me who attacked Chong'en Tower with rockets, intending to burn the emperor to death inside!"
“It’s you!”
"So, do you need me to prove anything?"
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and after a long moment, she said, "Well, you gave me this 'big gift', what do you want?"
At this time, the other party slowly squatted down.
He moved closer to the screen, and through the translucent screen, the two people seemed to be looking at each other.
He said, "I want to—kill Zhu Feng!"
“…”
Nan Yan's heartbeat sank
She said, "You, you want to kill him, but you tell me this, you are - you want to -"
She was already incoherent.
The other party sneered, as if helping her organize her thoughts, and his voice softened, coaxing her: "I want to kill him, don't you want to?"
“…”
"Or do you think that you don't have to? You shouldn't?"
“…”
"Shouldn't he have died?"
“…”
"You became his concubine, and you risked your life to do so many things for him, but how did he treat you? On the night you had a miscarriage, he favored other women, and even let those people step on you and abuse you in every way."
“…”
"During this journey, you've lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs. Has he ever shown you any mercy?"
“…”
"Or maybe you can just laugh off the hatred for your father's murder?"
“…”
"If that's the case, you can still pretend that what happened today never happened. I can still send you back. Perhaps, when he sees you back, his old feelings for you will rekindle, and he'll love you all over again. By then, you can still enjoy wealth and glory, which wouldn't be a bad thing."
Hearing these sarcastic words was like a sharp knife scraping across bones.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to say this."
“…”
"If you really understand me as well as you think you do, then you should know that I, Si Nanyan, am not someone who gets angered."
"Oh? So what do you want?"
"I want evidence!"
"Isn't the daily record just now enough to prove it?"
Nan Yan said calmly, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'A single case is not proof'?"
The other party was silent for a moment, looking at her as if re-examining her, then he sighed softly and said, "It seems that I really underestimated you."
“…”
"You are still so calm at this time."
Nan Yan said, "As you said, the revenge for my father's murder, and the matter involves the emperor, I must remain calm, and I must not just listen to one side of the story."
The other party said: "If there is evidence to prove it, what will you do?"
“…”
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
The other party pressed on, "Will you kill him?"
