"You're dreaming!"
Su Mutianjun gritted his teeth, his eyes were blazing, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound. When he thought about how he had been fooled around by Ran Qiyue for so many years, he couldn't help but get so angry that he wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces.
However, facing the furious Su Mutianjun, Ran Qiyue just smiled contemptuously and slowly adjusted her sleeves, looking calm and composed.
He stared coldly at Su Mutianjun with his sharp eyes and said slowly, "Su Mutianjun, at this point, you have no way to retreat! Now this palace is full of my people. Even if you have wings, you can't fly out of this palace!"
A sneer played on Ran Qiyue's lips. He paused and continued, "However, considering our acquaintance, as long as you obediently write the edict of abdication, I can agree to spare your life. How about this deal, isn't it?"
Su Mutianjun ignored Ran Qiyue, but turned his head and stared deeply at "Su Mulichen", with a hint of gentleness in his eyes, as if he was a loving old father, looking at his long-lost son with full expectation.
"Li Chen, this Ran Zamao is simply deceiving you. How could you not be my son?"
Su Mutianjun's words were extremely sincere, and his voice was filled with endless sincerity. It seemed that he really regarded "Su Mulichen" as his own flesh and blood, and wanted to reunite with him.
At this moment, Su Mu Tianjun was very aware that he was in a difficult situation surrounded by enemies on all sides. Therefore, regardless of whether "Su Mu Lichen" was truly his biological son, from a strategic point of view, he must be his son; from a tactical point of view, he should be his son.
Mu Lige glanced at Su Mutianjun meaningfully but didn't say anything.
Ran Qiyue looked at Su Mutianjun as if he were a fool. "Haha! Su Mutianjun, do you think everyone is as stupid as you? You killed someone's parents. If he helps you again, wouldn't he be worse than pigs and dogs?"
Mu Lige suppressed his inner confusion and looked at Ran Qiyue with a half-smile, feigning doubt. "You bastard, Ran, you said that the former Crown Prince and Crown Princess were my biological parents, so I'm going to believe you for now. After all, looking at Su Mutianjun and Shangguan Yuechan's attitude towards me, I also don't think they are my biological parents. However, as everyone knows, the former Crown Prince and Crown Princess died in an accidental fire. Why do you say that Su Mutianjun killed them?"
Ran Qiyue's gaze lingered between Su Mutianjun and Mu Lige for a moment, and she said with a falsely compassionate tone, "Su Mulichen, did all that chanting in the Tianlong Temple damage your brain? I really pity you! I'll be kind for once and tell you the truth!"
"The former Crown Prince, Su Mu Tiansheng, was not only handsome and imposing, but also knowledgeable and possessed a heart of compassion. He proposed many policies to the then Emperor, Su Mu Qianxing, your grandfather, to benefit the people. The former Crown Prince enjoyed a high reputation among the people and was a god-like heir apparent in the eyes of the people of Zhaoyang."
To drive a wedge between Su Mu Tianjun and "Su Mu Lichen," Ran Qiyue held back and recounted the events of the past truthfully. "However, the Emperor, then the Prince of Jin, was filled with jealousy towards his brother, born of the same mother. Seven years ago, he used spies planted in the East Palace to deliberately set a fire in the dead of night. Despite the vast palace, they couldn't even find a water truck to put out the blaze."
"Not only that, Su Mutianjun also bribed the Jianghu forces, namely the people from the Rakshasa Sect and the Jade Maiden Sect, to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the people from the Eastern Palace. The raging fire, the shrill wailing, the bloody scenes in the Eastern Palace back then are truly terrifying and chilling!"
Ran Qiyue's lips curled up slightly, a sly look in her eyes. She stared at the increasingly gloomy "Su Mulichen" and continued, "However, the siege of the Eastern Palace was only part of Su Mutianjun's plan. At the same time, under the banner of 'eliminating the treacherous ministers around the emperor,' he led an army of 300,000 to besiege the imperial city of Zhaoyang State. He also personally led 50,000 elite troops to directly attack the palace, trapping the then-emperor Su Mutianxing in Chaogan Palace. Through force, he forced Su Mutianxing to abdicate. In this way, Su Mutianjun successfully ascended the throne."
Mu Lige listened silently as Ran Qiyue casually described the suffering she had endured. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, and his joints creaked from the excessive force, as if they were about to break. He struggled to suppress the rage burning in his heart.
Hua Qingcheng, hiding in the shadows, tried several times to rush out and attack, but Mu Lige stopped him with a look. Despite his burning desire for revenge, he knew better than to act impulsively. Because, beyond revenge, he also had to redress the injustices of those who had lost their lives: Tian Lang, the entire Tian family whose entire clan had been executed, and the ten thousand vanguard soldiers who had been brutally persecuted during the Wushan bandit suppression campaign nineteen years earlier...
"Su Mutianjun, is what Ran Zamao said true?" Mu Lige questioned Su Mutianjun with an angry face. Even though he had already known the truth of the matter, he still couldn't help but want to ask this cruel man how he could have harmed his loved ones.
"Haha... The victors are kings and the losers are bandits. I just can't accept this. I can't accept being tricked by that despicable and shameless traitor, Ran Qiyue."
Su Mutianjun slowly stood up from the ground, staring fiercely at "Su Mulichen" with a cold smile, "Do you think Ran Zamao is a good person? I can tell you clearly that he was involved in everything Ran Zamao just mentioned. Especially... after the death of my short-lived brother and sister-in-law, Ran Zamao suppressed them in the Soul Locking Well, so that they would never be reborn!"
