Chapter 356 Success
Meng Lingge raised her voice slightly and said sternly, "Which mountain did you throw her on?"
No matter what, Dongqing's body couldn't be left to rot in the wilderness. As his mistress and servant, she had to find a way to give Dongqing some dignity in the end.
“Pingpu Mountain.” Guan Yi’an finished speaking and still couldn’t resist the sarcasm: “What’s the use of asking so clearly? You’ll be able to meet her soon. With such a deep bond between master and servant, they should be able to continue their relationship in the underworld.”
Meng Lingge did not argue with Guan Yi'an. Now that she had clarified Dong Qing's matter, only the issue of Princess Qiongxiao's residence remained.
We need to ask Guan Yi'an all at once while he's in a good mood; otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to get him to talk once he calms down.
"How did your face become like this? Since Elder Fu has the art of face-changing, it shouldn't be difficult for her to restore it for you. Why don't you go to her for restoration?"
These questions touched on Guan Yi'an's sore spot, and Guan Yi'an originally did not want to answer them.
But the thought of Meng Lingge's impending death still ignited his hatred. He then blamed Meng Lingge for all these problems.
"Of course, this is all thanks to you. Du Yuanhua injured my face while trying to protect you. Old Master Fu had already repaired it for me. But after I told Princess Qiongxiao about my plan to deal with you, that crazy woman went crazy and informed Meng Xingyuan. As a result, I was captured by your father, given a drug to make me mute, and then sent to a remote place by his two guards. In order to escape, I killed the guards, but my face was scratched and mutilated by them. I can no longer use Zheng Qingshan's face."
“I bet Princess Qiongxiao guessed that Wen Zhiming’s rebellion would succeed, so she tried to curry favor with the Meng family in advance. Tell me, I finally got a new face, but it was ruined by your father’s guards, and in the end, because of the Meng family, it can’t be repaired. Isn’t this the sin of your Meng family?”
He fully utilized his ability to talk nonsense and argue, omitting his own malicious intentions and only discussing how the Meng family was affecting his plans.
He thought that Meng Lingge would be too angry to speak after he finished speaking, but Meng Lingge, whether she was poisoned by the snake venom and had become stupid or something else, actually nodded solemnly.
"So, it's true that your damaged face is related to the Meng family and Princess Qiongxiao. It's just a pity that Princess Qiongxiao, along with Elder Fu and Han Cui, have escaped without a trace. Elder Fu also has the ability to change faces, so the three of them can change their appearances in countless ways, and no one can catch them. You killed me, so you have avenged the Meng family, but you will never be able to avenge the Qiongxiao family in this lifetime."
When Guan Yi'an heard Meng Lingge agree with him, he felt a surge of anger, but at the same time, his dissatisfaction with Princess Qiongxiao quickly returned.
"With so many officials, how could they not catch three weak women? Han Cui, one of the three, was my neighbor when I was young. Although she was bullied and exploited by her parents at home, she still longed for family affection deep down. If we stake out her parents' house, as long as Han Cui is alive, she will definitely go back to see them. There is also Princess Qiongxiao. When I was at her residence, she told me that she had several private houses in the countryside, registered under the name of a distant relative. If we investigate from this angle, we can immediately find their hiding place."
When Guan Yi'an served Princess Qiongxiao diligently at her residence, he won the princess's favor.
When Princess Qiongxiao was in a good mood, she once called him and Han Cui to her side and said that if he married Han Cui, she would give them a private house. Although it was in the countryside, it was a quiet place with proper procedures, and it would be perfect for two or three people to live in.
Princess Qiongxiao genuinely wanted to bring the two together, but she never expected that things would turn out so unexpectedly. The final outcome for the three of them was completely different from what she had initially envisioned. She also never imagined that a casual remark she made would become a means for Guan Yi'an to take revenge on her.
With only a private residence in the countryside and distant relatives, Guan Yi'an still couldn't find Princess Qiongxiao. But the government was different. With this information, they could find more detailed information, making it much easier to arrest her.
After saying all this, Guan Yi'an reminded Meng Lingge, "Although you are going to die, Princess Qiongxiao is also your enemy. If Princess Qiongxiao hadn't asked Old Fu to change my face, I wouldn't have been able to deceive you with Zheng Qingshan's face, and Dongqing wouldn't have died. So you still need to tell the authorities what I said so that they can catch the person as soon as possible and punish them severely according to the law."
When she was needed to deal with Princess Qiongxiao, Guan Yi'an learned about his past deceptions and the fact that he had caused Dongqing's death.
Meng Lingge laughed at his shamelessness and turned to ask the young imperial physician, "Have you memorized everything?"
The imperial physician nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have remembered everything clearly."
The imperial physician's face no longer showed any panic; he was as calm as a clerk recording case files at a crime scene.
Guan Yi'an felt inexplicably flustered as he watched this scene.
Just as she was wondering about this, Meng Lingge asked, "There's something else that puzzles me. The last few times you tried to take action against me, you were always making sure you were safe. Why are you so careless about your own safety today? I may not survive, but you won't escape death either. Have you given up your dreams of promotion and wealth, and your grand ambitions?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yi'an felt both furious and exhilarated at the same time, as if he had finally accomplished something after going through so much hardship.
"Of course I want to live, but I want to live a glamorous and enviable life, not like this, ugly and unsuccessful, watching my enemies live happily and have everything go smoothly. This kind of life is miserable and destitute, worse than death."
"Besides, I did my best. I could not have hurt you at all while ensuring my own safety. Instead, I made myself look worse and worse. Now that you and Wen Zhiming have become the emperor and empress, it is even more difficult for me to succeed."
"My only choice is to fight to the death with you, to perish together, only then can I have a chance of winning. Anyway, you are living a life as brilliant as fireworks, while I live like an ant. If I exchange my life for yours, I will have gained something. Besides, after you die, Wen Zhiming will lose his beloved and his child when he was at the height of his love for you. Do you think he will feel guilty for the rest of his life? Without you as his empress, will the Meng family decline drastically? Thinking about all this, even if I die, I will die with a smile."
His fox-like eyes were fixed on Meng Lingge, his head tilted slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
"As it turns out, I succeeded this time. Meng Lingge, you go ahead and wait for me down here. I'll be down to join you soon. This time, I won't let anyone take you away from me again."
"Is that so?" Meng Lingge met his gaze, slowly stood up from the ground, and walked step by step to Guan Yi'an.
The smile on her face was brighter than the Milky Way.
"I'm sorry, you will have to go down alone. I am not on the same path as you, and I have no desire to keep you company in the underworld."
She was just moments ago weak and pale, but now she is radiant and full of energy.
