Rong Wan's voice was full of questions and regrets. She hated herself for not being able to judge the person well enough and adopting such an ungrateful child. Her last name was Li, and she had dirty blood on her father's side. She was the one who adopted the child and gave her the surname Qing, but ended up harming her own child.
"Yan'er, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Empress Xiao's voice rang out in horror.
Chu Yan's eyes were bloodshot. He had touched the dagger on the ground that he had used to test blood. He stood up shakily and walked step by step to Qing Yunyao.
"Qing Yunyao, you're very proud of having harmed her, right?"
Suddenly, Chu Yan asked in a hoarse voice.
Qing Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yan. She opened her mouth and said, "Brother Yan, I am... because of you..."
"Shut up!"
When she said this, Chu Yan became even more angry and stabbed her with the dagger in his hand.
With a scream, Qing Yunyao trembled in pain.
"Qing Yunyao, how many times have you stabbed Yue'er with your sword? Today, I will repay you double."
Chu Yan gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger stabbed down again. There was not a trace of expression on his cold and handsome eyebrows, only indifference, endless indifference.
Blood splattered on his face, but he seemed not to feel it.
One knife, two knives, three knives...
Every knife cuts into the flesh and draws blood, but none of them is fatal.
He didn't want Qing Yunyao to die so easily, and he must let her suffer.
Qing Yunyao's screams were getting weaker and weaker, and her whole body was shaking with pain. It was too cruel. How could Brother Ayan be so cruel to her?
Her tears and blood mixed together, and she looked extremely miserable.
"That's enough, Lao Si. If you kill her, will Yue Yatou come back?"
Chu Yan looked almost crazy, slashing with the knife again and again. His ferocious look made people feel terrified.
Hearing the Emperor Chu's scolding, Chu Yan trembled, as if these words had completely brought him back to reality. No matter how sad and remorseful he was, no matter how he tortured Qing Yunyao, his Yue'er was lost forever, and he would never see this person again.
Oh……
Then what is the meaning of life?
He seemed to have lost all his strength all of a sudden and sat down on the ground, dejected, desperate and lifeless.
"Yes, she can't come back, she will never come back..."
He sat on the ground, looking like he was crying and laughing, with blood on his face and his eyes were bloodshot.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed himself in the heart. "So, I'll go find her."
This scene shocked everyone, not only the Emperor of Chu, not only Empress Xiao, but also Qing Yue!
"Chu Yan!"
"Yan'er!"
Empress Xiao's eyes were bloodshot as she rushed forward and hugged his arm tightly, but the dagger had already penetrated three-quarters of the way in and blood instantly flowed out, staining his lapel red.
"You're crazy, are you crazy? Chu Yan, don't you even want your mother? Are you going to kill yourself for a woman? How could you do this? How could you do this?"
Empress Xiao's eyes were red with grief and anger. She held Chu Yan's arm tightly with one hand and beat him with the other hand, crying and weeping without any image at all.
The son she was proud of, the entire hope of her Xiao family, everyone had high hopes for him, but how could he die for a woman?
Empress Xiao couldn't understand, and even at this moment, she resented Qingyue. Why would a woman turn her son into this? Her most outstanding son actually gave up his life for that little girl. The honor and disgrace of the Xiao family, the country of the Chu family, were all thrown out of his mind at this moment.
Empress Xiao was filled with hatred, confusion and extreme sadness.
"Mother, have you ever loved Father?"
But suddenly, Chu Yan's hoarse voice was heard.
"What?"
Empress Xiao, with red eyes, was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Mother, I have loved... If it weren't for Yue'er, I wouldn't be here today."
"The palace is cold and the rules are strict. My father never enters my mother's chambers. She is always stern and strict in her teachings. As far as I can remember, my mother and father have never smiled at me, never... But then a little girl, charming and bright, suddenly appeared in my life. She was bright and charming, with a kind heart. Like a little sun, she illuminated my cold and hopeless life."
As if he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, or as if he had no more thoughts, Chu Yan blurted out all the words that were pent up in his heart.
Empress Xiao was in a trance. She had probably once looked forward to the word love, but it was gone since the day she entered the palace. The palace was cold and ruthless. She had understood it over the years and had also forgotten what it felt like to love someone.
The Emperor of Chu also pursed his lips tightly.
Chu Yan didn't look at anyone's expression. He was immersed in his own world.
"I have been strict and self-disciplined since childhood. For ten years, I have worked hard every day, rain or shine, never stopping to practice martial arts, study, and political achievements. I only strive to be the best in everything. What do you think I work so hard for?"
He laughed at himself.
Everyone thought he was trying to ascend the throne, but that wasn't the case.
Everyone knew what he meant by the unfinished words.
But the next moment, he laughed and said, "Just to marry her!"
Whose heart has this sad sigh touched?
It’s Qingyue.
She was already in tears and had forgotten how to react. When Chu Yan stabbed the knife into Qing Yunyao's body again and again, she felt happy and truly felt that she had let out the anger in her heart. She was such a bad person and she deserved to be punished.
But she didn't expect that Chu Yanyan would stab her heart with a dagger.
At that moment, a white light flashed before her eyes, her mind was shattered, and she subconsciously rushed out. The moment she saw Empress Xiao stop him, she stopped herself, but the dagger still penetrated three-quarters of the way, and there was a smear of blood, which showed that she had also stabbed there.
What should she do?
Standing there, I heard Chu Yan's inner confession so directly.
She knew she was totally wrong.
It turned out that the throne of emperor was not his ultimate aspiration. All he wanted from the beginning to the end was only her.
"If I don't work harder and become better, how can I ask for a marriage? How can I marry the treasure of the Qing family?"
He has never been the favored one. He is not as good as Feng Ling, who is his father's favorite. If he wants to marry someone, he can do it with just a word, but he can't do it. He can't resist. If he doesn't work hard enough and is not good enough, he can't make the decision.
Twenty years of my life were actually just for her.
"Mother, you may not know that if Qingyue hadn't passed away, I would have passed away when I was ten years old..."
