Chapter 304 The Grand Finale
Xie Qingran remained seated, unperturbed, and said calmly, "Go? The entire capital is surrounded by you. How can I leave?"
"Lu Jinzhi, congratulations, the moment you've been dreaming of is about to arrive." Xie Qingran gently tugged at the corner of her mouth: "But your wife is still in my hands. Shouldn't you two meet? By the way, my family physician took her pulse, and she's pregnant."
"Impossible! Xie Hanyue could never have a child!" Lu Jinzhi shook his head without hesitation: "She simply cannot have children!"
Xie Hanyue was in the crowd behind Xie Qingran, bound hand and foot. Hearing these words with her own ears, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and she began to struggle like a madwoman.
Following Xie Qingran's instructions, Baozhu saw Xie Hanyue struggling and went forward to cut her ropes.
Xie Hanyue shoved Baozhu aside, snatched the dagger from her hand, and charged towards Lu Jinzhi like a madwoman, pushing through the crowd.
puff!
Xie Hanyue plunged the dagger in her hand into Lu Jinzhi's chest. She didn't stop there; she twisted it several times. Lu Jinzhi didn't even have time to utter a single word before he fell heavily to the ground, dead!
"Xie Qingran, it's your turn now!"
Xie Hanyue turned around, her face and body covered in bright red blood, looking like a demon from hell, and sneered at Xie Qingran.
At Qing Shan's command, a volley of arrows was unleashed. Xie Hanyue didn't even get a step closer to Xie Qingran before she was shot dead in the courtyard.
Shen Wenyuan stood aside and watched the whole process. He looked at the two people who had fallen down in disbelief, and then looked at Xie Qingran. He was finally certain that Xie Qingran's hatred and disgust for them were genuine and had even reached the point of being irreconcilable!
For some reason, Shen Wenyuan even felt a chill in his neck.
He just stared blankly at Xie Qingran and asked in a low voice, "What...what are you going to do to me?"
"I won't do anything to you." Xie Qingran said expressionlessly, looking at the dumbfounded soldiers: "If you lay down your weapons and surrender now, you still have a chance to live. Otherwise, when my husband returns, you will all die!"
"The Duke of Zhenguo died on the battlefield long ago!" someone in the crowd said.
Immediately afterward, the soldiers who had been hesitant charged towards them without the slightest hesitation, and the two sides engaged in a chaotic battle.
Xie Qingran, who knew no martial arts, remained seated in her chair, a short knife in her hand, her eyes fixed intently on the battle before her.
She knew that if they lost, her life would be a disgrace, so she would never give these people the chance to humiliate her.
"Miss!"
Baozhu immediately understood Xie Qingran's meaning. She knelt down beside Xie Qingran, tears streaming down her face.
"Miss, no matter where you're going, don't leave me behind!"
Outside the gate, shouts of fighting and killing could be heard continuously, and the entire courtyard was filled with shouts and flames.
But Xie Qingran's heart was calmer than ever before.
She wasn't afraid at all; instead, she was thinking about the days since she was reborn. This life was an extra reward from God, so giving it back now wouldn't be a loss.
It's just a pity that I didn't get to see my two children grow up; it's just a pity that in the very end, I didn't get to see him one last time...
"kill!"
Shouts came from outside, followed by a large number of people rushing in. Then, Xie Qingran saw Xiao Jue riding a tall horse at the head of the crowd.
In that instant, Xie Qingran suddenly smiled. She finally understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight!
"Xie Qingran!"
Xiao Jue dismounted and fought his way to Xie Qingran, holding her tightly and lifting her off the chair. He looked her up and down, asking, "Are you... are you alright?"
"You still know to come back?" Xie Qingran looked at Xiao Jue carefully, her eyes red-rimmed. "You still know to come back!"
Xiao Jue's nose tingled, and he hugged Xie Qingran again: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. You can be angry with me later, but now I must go to the palace to save the emperor!"
"Go."
Xie Qingran took a deep breath, then bit Xiao Jue hard on the neck before shoving him away and watching him leave.
The turmoil in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was quickly quelled, but Xie Qingran did not immediately go to find the children. Now Zhou Huai'an, Lu Jinzhi, and Xie Hanyue were all dead, but there was one more person, Zhao Yuanqi, who was still alive!
This person is ruthless by nature, so she cannot risk her own child.
Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Shen Wenyuan said, "Xie Qingran, I've always treated you well since we were little, so why, why do you hate me so much?"
"Hate is just as irrational as love."
"Shen Wenyuan, you've been good to me and never harmed me, so I won't hold it against you. You can leave now."
Xie Qingran could kill Shen Wenyuan at any time. Anyway, the capital was already awash in blood today, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
However, after being reborn, Shen Wenyuan did nothing to her. He was not the mastermind in his previous life either, so Xie Qingran was willing to give him a way out.
Only then did Shen Wenyuan realize that he had been struggling between life and death all day!
For some reason, Shen Wenyuan even felt a little empty inside.
The chaos in the capital lasted for three days. Xie Qingran guarded the entrance to the tunnel for three days. Only after confirming that the entire capital had been assessed did she open the door to the secret room.
The moment she opened the door, Xie Qingran saw the three little ones holding daggers and looking fierce. For some reason, her nose tingled, and she rushed over and hugged the three children tightly.
"It's over, it's all over!"
When Xiao Jue returned home and saw his family all around him, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He rushed over, hugged Xie Qingran, and gently nuzzled her: "Qingran, it's all over. The emperor has issued an edict to pass the throne to the crown prince, giving my Xiao family army justice. We finally did it. Qingran, you've worked so hard."
Xie Qingran had no expression, she just stared at him intently: "Xiao Jue, you're such a bastard."
"Yes, it's all my fault. I'm a bastard. I lied to you. I'm sorry."
"Qingran, please don't hold it against me, okay?"
"Give me a chance to atone for my sins, please?"
Xiao Jue carefully observed Xie Qingran's expression, fearing that she might really hold a grudge and never be with him again.
Xie Qingran remained expressionless, only glancing at the children behind her and letting out a soft sigh.
What else can I say?
"Xiao Jue, I'm doomed for you in this lifetime."
