In the palace.
The Princess's Palace.
Princess Yongning had returned to her normal self, but now she was lying on the bed with no trace of blood on her face, looking weak and frail. She no longer looked as elegant as before, but instead looked more approachable.
"Mother."
Xiao Nanyue stood in front of her, looking at her at the moment, feeling more guilty.
Even if her mother didn't like her, she was still the mother who had raised her and lived with her for eighteen years. Xiao Nanyue bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and thought about letting her be beaten and scolded.
Princess Yongning looked at her sideways, her eyes deep.
The entire room was silent, with only the sound of the two people breathing. After a while, Princess Yongning finally spoke, "Are you here to see if I'm dead or alive?"
Bai Yun didn't kill her.
But she was also useless.
And...she has no reason to live anymore.
She had already done what she wanted to do, and that person had taken away the evil energy that had accumulated over the past twenty years.
"I'm just worried about you..."
"Worried about me? Since you betrayed me and didn't listen to me, you don't recognize me as your mother. Since I'm not your mother, there's no need to pretend here. Get out!"
"Mother, I..."
Xiao Nanyue's face suddenly turned pale and her body swayed slightly.
The little black snake that followed in and was hiding on the palace beam popped its head out when it heard these words. It glared at Princess Yongning fiercely, obviously threatening her.
Princess Yongning also saw it, and she curled her lips. "Xiao Nanyue, you have filthy demon blood flowing in your body. You are not even a human being, you are just a disgusting monster. I don't have a monster daughter like you."
Qingchuan:!!
It was just about to fly out to teach Princess Yongning a lesson.
But Xiao Nanyue spoke first, "Mother, I know I've caused you so much hardship, so I've always listened to you since I was little. I never did anything you didn't like, let alone touched it. You hated my bloodline, so I endured it and even peeled off the scales from my body. You wanted me to go to Wuyun Academy, so I went too...
I have done everything you wanted me to do, but just this once...please let me be selfish."
Xiao Nanyue paused, took out a large box, and opened the contents. Inside was a set of her favorite pear-colored dress and an embroidery with a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.
“I cut and made this dress myself, and I also embroidered this work myself. I wanted to give it to you as a birthday present, but I have no choice but to give it to you now.
Mother, since you hate me, I will never appear in front of you again. I hope you will not target Yanyan or hurt Yanyan and the others anymore, otherwise..."
Xiao Nanyue looked at her deeply before turning and leaving.
Her mother didn't call her until she reached the front of the palace. Xiao Nanyue took a deep breath and then walked out.
Princess Yongning looked at the picture of mountains and rivers and felt a little dazed.
This was a painting she made. It was the most beautiful place she had ever been to. Nan Yue had asked her about it before, and she had mentioned that she liked it, but she had forgotten about it later. Unexpectedly, Nan Yue remembered it.
She stretched out her hand to touch it, but withdrew it the next second. Instead, she looked at the little snake that had slid down from the beam and said with a smile, "Qingchuan, it seems you didn't tell Nanyue about what happened that night."
Qingchuan sat on the ground and turned from a little snake into a human form.
He stood upright in black, staring at her with cold eyes.
"You are not Yongning."
"Yes, I'm not, but so what? I've been with Nanyue since she was born. Even though I'm not Yongning, I'm still her mother."
Princess Yongning sat up and looked at him with a smile. "And you, in her memory, are nothing more than a filthy demon who defiled me and caused her to have half demon blood."
She originally wanted to provoke Qingchuan, but Qingchuan still had that cold look on his face and was not affected by her words at all.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Qingchuan, do you know what happened back then?"
then…?
Qingchuan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Back then, I led Emperor Yongding to that secret room and saw the evil spirit. I deliberately confused his mind and gave him two choices: ambition or family affection. He chose ambition.
Then he took the initiative to plan your marriage with Yongning. On the day of your wedding, he ordered Yongning to be imprisoned, and I pretended to be Yongning, poisoned you, took out your loyal heart, and imprisoned you under the imperial mausoleum.
Then, he killed Yongning with his own hands."
Kill Yongning? !
He had guessed this when he heard his master ask her if she was Yongning that night, but now that he heard it with his own ears, Qingchuan trembled slightly.
"Yongning was so beautiful that day, wearing exquisite makeup and a phoenix crown. Unfortunately, she was tied up and killed by her own brother. Oh, of course, she was pregnant with Nanyue at the time. Perhaps because of your blood, Nanyue was still a small egg. Emperor Yongding cut open her belly and dug out the egg. Yongning knelt on the ground, crying and begging, and finally bled to death in pain. She was still thinking that you would come to save her until her death..."
"Shut up!"
Qingchuan interrupted her angrily.
She looked at him and continued, "It's a pity that you won't come to save her, but she doesn't know it and even feels that you betrayed her. Because I gave her an illusion, letting her see you happily marrying another woman and abandoning her, so she died of resentment..."
Looking at the bulging veins on Qingchuan's face, she smiled even more proudly: "As for that egg, I originally wanted to use it to feed my poisonous insect, but I didn't expect it to hatch. What hatched out was a small black snake, which turned into a baby two years later. The reason I didn't kill it was just to use it. Not only did I poison her, I also told her every day that she was a monster and she didn't deserve to live..."
"Shut up!"
Qingchuan was completely enraged, and the palm power in his hand also fell.
"Why, you want to kill me? I have a mother Gu in me. If you kill me, the mother Gu will die, and Nan Yue will die too."
Qingchuan's hands froze in mid-air, and she smiled even more proudly, "So, you can't kill me, even for Nanyue, you can't kill me, you even have to save my life..."
"You bastard Princess, you bully my little dragon."
Angry words were heard, and then a red chick flew in from the broken hole in the palace eaves holding a big trident, and then the trident in its hand directly pierced her chest.
Qingchuan:!!!
"So the mother Gu is in your body. Then this matter will be easy to handle."
Bai Yanyan also jumped down from the hole, took out the dagger in her hand, and waved it in front of her. "My dissection skills are very advanced, don't worry! I can definitely put your parts back!"
