Chapter 361 The Yellow Bird Behind
Murong Xuanxuan: "You are talking nonsense. Xu Chengao would never do such a thing to hurt me. This must be a tragedy created by you to try to seize the throne. I will not let your conspiracy succeed."
Another sneered, "Conspiracy? If we hadn't arrived in time, Xu Chengao would have stormed into the palace long ago. Princess, you would have been his next victim. Even if he spared you out of consideration for your past relationship, your future wouldn't have been easy. You really should be thanking us!"
Hearing this, Murong Xuanxuan looked at Xu Chengao lying on the ground and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"You are all liars, I don't believe you." She cried stubbornly.
"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can ask the people around you to see if I have slandered your lover."
At this time, other members of the royal family who survived the scene came forward to testify against Xu Chengao.
“Princess, what they said is true. If it weren’t for Nangong Lan and Duanmu Yanbin, we would have died long ago.”
"Yes, yes. If it weren't for them, my entire royal family would have been wiped out by them."
Murong Xuanxuan was left speechless by their constant chatter.
Suddenly, someone stood up from the crowd and said, "The previous emperor is dead. Who should we elect to be our emperor next?"
The crowd that was bustling just now immediately fell silent after hearing this question.
Murong Shaowen, the elder of the Murong family, stood up.
"According to the traditional hereditary system of the throne, the throne naturally belongs to Princess Xuanxuan. Moreover, she has done nothing detrimental to the country, so she should naturally become our new Queen."
Duanmu Yanbin: "I am the first to object. Didn't she do anything detrimental to the country? I don't agree with this statement. If it weren't for her, would our royal family have lost so many people in such a short time?"
Murong Shaowen: "She had no involvement in this internal strife to force the emperor to abdicate, and she was completely unaware of it. Moreover, her parents tragically died in this internal strife. Shouldn't we offer her some sympathy and compassion?"
Nangong Lan: "Choosing a king now is a matter of discussing national affairs, not giving alms to the poor. Sympathy and pity alone will not do. Besides, who among you present can guarantee that Princess Xuanxuan didn't collude with her lover to kill her parents in order to ascend to the throne? So many people from our clan died at once, and she doesn't give an explanation and still wants to become our queen. Aren't you, the Murong family, too arrogant? Don't say that the other three surnames of our clan will never agree to it. I'm afraid even people from other races won't agree to it."
Murong Shaowen: "The late emperor just left, aren't you bullying us? It turns out you are the biggest conspirators behind the scenes."
Duanmu Yanbin: "Don't make false statements. You need evidence for everything you say."
Murong Xuanxuan: "Clan leader, forget it. You don't need to beg them anymore. The people here really died because of me. I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died for me. I can't escape the blame. The only way to atone for this is to die. But before I die, there are some things I must do."
She took off the Heart of Heaven necklace from her neck, then held it tightly in both hands and coldly cursed it for the first and only time in her life.
"I use the lessons I learned and the blood I shed to curse you. From now on, all humans on the Sky Star must not marry people of different races. Otherwise, one of them will suffer untold heartache and live a life worse than death."
After saying that, she picked up the knife that Xu Chengao had dropped on the ground and stabbed her neck.
Bright red blood splattered all over the Heart of Heaven, staining the originally transparent blue gem into a strange red.
Nangong Lan and Duanmu Yanbin both reached out to grab the gem at the same time.
Duanmu Yanbin took the gem first, wiped the blood off it, and then presented it to Nangong Lan with both hands.
"Only a king is worthy of such glory. Only you, Nangong Lan, are qualified to possess the Heart of Heaven."
Nangong Lan wore the Heart of Heaven around his neck.
Then Duanmu Yanbin immediately knelt on one knee and cheered loudly: "God bless King Lan, God bless King Lan."
When everyone saw this, they knew that the Murong family was doomed and that the people's will was the general trend. For their own interests, they all knelt down and shouted: "God bless King Lan, God bless King Lan."
Even Murong Shaowen of the Murong family couldn't help but sigh: "It's time, fate, and destiny. Heaven is going to destroy our clan..."
The words came to his lips: "God bless King Lan, God bless King Lan."
After Xin Yu finished telling the story, Situ couldn't calm down for a long time because of this heartbreaking tragedy.
"So this is the real reason. Why do I feel so ridiculous about this?"
"Is it ridiculous? Back then, many people on Tianzhixing didn't believe it, just like you. But every time, the result was a bloody lesson, and the ironclad, unquestionable facts confirmed the so-called ridiculous curse. So, what do you want me to say?"
"But even with such a vicious curse, it still can't stop the people of Tianzhixing from risking their lives for true love, right?"
"Yes, Xueying and I separated because of this curse. Now we finally came to terms with it and are together again, but I never expected that she would be so beautiful and have such a tragic fate!"
Situ couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "She has become an old witch, can she still be considered a beauty with a tragic fate?"
"Why did you suddenly come to me to ask about this? I don't think it's just for Duanmu Qing or Jiao Niang, right? Aren't you going to tell me that you've also fallen in love with someone from another race?"
"You're overthinking it. I really just want to help people. Is this curse really unbreakable?"
"Not really. If you really want to break the curse, it's neither easy nor difficult. It depends on how you think about it."
"So you have a solution."
"I can do it, but it depends on your ability. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Generally speaking, as long as Murong Xuanxuan's resentment is resolved and she is allowed to reincarnate peacefully, the curse will naturally be lifted."
"This... shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Sincerity is the key to success. It all depends on your sincerity. The biggest problem now is that Xueying gave the Heart of Heaven to Nangong Lan in order to save Junlan before she died. If you want to break the curse, you must first take back the Heart of Heaven. I guess this step is not an easy task."
Situ thought for a moment, his tone becoming serious. "The three parties are now at loggerheads over the throne, and the battle is slowly entering a white-hot stage. Don't we really need to do something to stop them?"
"Don't think that just because you've been with Nangong Yu for a while, they'll really treat you as one of their own. In the eyes of their royal family, we, the foreigners, will always be inferior to them. Why not let them fight among themselves first, and we'll wait for the opportunity to act!"
Situ: "People with different ideals cannot work together, and people who don't agree with each other won't talk too much. You people only have selfish desires in your hearts, not justice. I think I'd better leave first!"
After saying that, he stood up.
