Empty White
The emperor favors him and welcomes him back to Chang'an?
Li San, daydreaming again...
The relationship between Sanlang and me, and between Sanlang and me, was simple, and it could only be that... he died at my hands.
Life in Qianzhou was difficult, and after only three years, only three people were left.
Letting him die of old age, illness and exhaustion in Qianzhou would be a shame, and I cannot get rid of my hatred for him. Wouldn't that be a betrayal to me?
I was just afraid that he would die suddenly, so I rushed to Qianzhou in a panic.
I will kill him with my own hands. I will never let him go. He will surely die.
Sanlang is already a dying man.
When I think about the past half-life interactions between him and me, it seems like we... have never had a real conversation.
I sent Yuan Xiao to observe the wind.
Calming down, being patient and suppressing the nausea, I had a superficial heart-to-heart with Li San.
"Sanlang, do you know who I admire most in my life?"
I took a few steps forward and asked Li San with a smile.
"who?"
Saburo asked back.
"Could it be me?"
He was conceited throughout his life.
"good!"
"Sanlang, I am also convinced by you."
He guessed right.
"Your plans are clumsy, your plots are crude, your character is despicable, your intentions are abominable, your ambitions are outrageous, yet I still obey you!"
I said.
"You rebelled in your youth, and you never regretted it. You were exiled from Chang'an and exiled to Qianzhou. Even after years of hardship and suffering, your determination to fight for the throne remained unchanged."
I said.
"Not only you, but also the King of Qi, the King of Ning, the King of Anle... all of you rebellious kings, I am in awe of you all."
I continued laughing.
"We... the kings of the Li family are unwilling to be ministers. We dare to fight for the world and kill Li Junqing who is on the throne."
News of the deaths of Prince Qi, Prince Ning, and Prince Anle spread to Qianzhou one after another...
"And you, don't dare."
Sanlang smiled and told me the truth.
"yes."
I confessed it without hiding anything.
I took a few more steps forward, and to hear more clearly, I said, "Besides King Li, there's another person I admire most. Do you know who it is, Third Brother?"
He is arrogant and shallow-minded.
He didn't know, he shook his head.
"It's the Princess of Yuyang County."
I told Li San.
"Yuyang?"
Sanlang's face was full of contempt and disdain. As a fellow member of the Li family, he seemed to have forgotten this girl long ago.
"Li Mianyi, the Princess of Yuyang County, killed my brother. I hate her immensely, but I also admire her immensely."
The King of Qi, the King of Ping, the King of Ning, the King of Anle... raising their weapons would only bring harm to their relatives and would not bring any victory.
Among the Li family, only the Princess of Yuyang County makes me wake up in fear and anxiety every night.
"Yuyang... is the son of a traitor, the daughter of a rebellious king, and a most useless woman. How can she compare with this king? How can she be compared with the young master of the Li family? She may have killed the general, but it was only a bit of luck from heaven and some divine power from the immortals. Is that enough for you, a bastard, to have been obsessed with her for so many years?"
Saburo was full of ridicule.
Stubborn and unyielding, Li Sanlang remains Li Sanlang for years.
He is not worthy of being a king, not worthy of being a ruler, and even less worthy of being a human being.
There is no imperial edict, no imperial decree, no imperial decree, no pardon decree. I have nothing. If I want to bring Rudi back to Chang'an, I can only find another way out.
I took out the precious sword from my sleeve, the sword that Baodai gave me, the indestructible sword that could kill with one blow, and I stabbed it into the belly of the villain.
"Li Junze, you are the bastard who is unwanted by your father, unloved by your mother, homeless and jobless, and who doesn't recognize any relatives..."
After years of humiliation, I endured it until this day, and I cursed him back.
Blood flowed out, the sword penetrated deeper and deeper, and Sanlang's life became increasingly fragile.
I told Li Junze about the former King of Fu, the former King of Cheng, and the former King of Ping.
"This is the torture instrument that your legitimately married princess forged for you at great expense."
After drawing out the precious sword, his face was filled with pain and he struggled to the point of death, but he still did not forget to curse Shen Baodai.
"The daughter of the Shen family, a lowly merchant, this bitch!"
I cut Li Junze's clothes.
The saint does not forgive, and the queen mother does not forgive.
Without a pardon decree, one can only rely on the bloody shirt of confession.
I want to use Li Sanlang's blood to exchange for Ru Di's return to Chang'an.
Li Junze fell to the ground, covering his wound, and I cut his palm to let the blood.
Back then, I took away Rudi's manuscripts of poetry, calligraphy and writings, and Sanlang's clumsy works were mixed in with Rudi's calligraphy.
I took it back, read it every day, and copied it every night.
It's not exactly similar, but it's close enough to be mistaken for the real thing.
Sanlang, his handwriting is also wild and his words are also wild. I imitated his handwriting and his words. I followed the blood flowing from Li Junze and wrote a confession letter in blood that was full of recklessness and unwillingness.
Sanlang confessed his guilt and committed suicide. He used his life in exchange for the Empress Dowager's request to allow Rudi and her daughter to return to Chang'an.
The wound on his abdomen and the bloody wound on his hand were not enough to kill Saburo instantly.
He watched me confess his crime, he watched me submit to He Nu on his behalf, and he watched himself slowly walk towards death.
“No…no…no…”
Li Junze shouted.
"I still want to return to Chang'an... I still want to be the emperor, I want to be a saint, I still want to kill He Nu... I am the king of the Li family, I am the true emperor of the Li family, I cannot die in this damn place..."
Fearing that the shrill cry would attract the officials of Qianzhou, Ru Di held him down tightly to prevent him from making any more sound.
"Sanlang, please don't make any noise. Just think of it as a good sleep. That night, you threatened me not to make any noise. Today, I also ask you to be quiet. You hurt me, so I will kill you. After you die, Li Nu and I will take our daughter back to Chang'an, and you will stay in Qianzhou alone. Chang'an is still very young and can't remember anything. In a few days, she will forget about Grandpa, and she will forget about you... In this life, in the next, the three of us, mother and daughter, will have nothing to do with you anymore..."
Rudi's tears flowed for herself, and they flowed into Sanlang's wounds. With blood and tears, I kept writing on the bloody clothes.
Chang'an will forget Grandpa, Rudi will forget Qianzhou, and that is enough.
Li Junze was unable to save himself, he suffered the consequences of his own actions and received retribution.
"Bastard..."
These were the last two words Li Junze said to me.
Likewise, these were his last words.
"Four thousand four hundred and forty-four!"
This was the last sentence I said to Li Sanlang.
Rudi and I watched helplessly as Sanlang bled to death in agony.
He died at the hands of the bastard he despised the most, he died at the hands of the merchant he hated the most, and he died at the hands of the victim he had tortured for years.
Baodai, Rudi and I fought against the imperial power. After many years, we finally joined forces to kill him.
The late emperor's biological son, the empress dowager's biological son, your majesty's biological brother, a commoner from Chang'an, a criminal from Qianzhou, Li Sanlang, Li Junze, died in dishevel, covered in dust, no one offered sacrifices to him, no one shed tears for him, it was a miserable and desolate scene, extremely embarrassing.
The only decent burial object was the precious sword that Shen Baodai had given him as a reward.
He cursed me thousands of times, but I only stabbed him twice in return. I am kind and merciful.
When Prince Guangcheng and officials from Qianzhou arrived, my petition was already covered in blood, and Rudi was holding Sanlang with tears running down her face.
Sanlang died in Qianzhou. He submitted a memorial to Chang'an, saying that he died for Rudi and her daughter.
Ru Di and I spoke together and had no other explanation.
Li Junze is dead and there is no evidence to prove his mistake. No third pair of eyes can see the truth of the matter.
The rebellious king, Li Junze, has bled dry and is now completely dead. Li Junze will remain in Qianzhou forever, and there is no possibility of him ever returning to his hometown, Chang'an...
