Yuwen Yao seemed to be under some kind of spell.
"Qin'er...do you know, when I dream at midnight, it seems like they are right beside me. They are screaming, screaming in pain. They are covered in blood and gore, and I could have stopped them, but I was powerless to do anything because I want to live...to live."
While I'm alive, I'll look at you more often.
Nan Lingqin smiled bitterly, her eyes moist.
"Then, when I've brought my army to the city gates, broken through the secrets of the Cloud Clan, and cured the poison in your body, can you die in peace?"
She said that Yuwen Yao froze, then sneered, "...Yes, I will take the Emperor of Bei Rong to admit to the world all the wrongdoings, and then we will go back together."
"I see."
Nan Lingqin laughed until tears streamed down her face. "No wonder, back in the camp, the Empress initially begged me to spare you, but later she ordered me to kill you. Her reaction was so quick because she knew that only your death could save the lives of everyone in the world."
"Yes, only my death and my blood can bring life to the world."
Yuwen Yao's gaze was distant as he looked at the pale moon on the horizon. "This is the revenge of the Yuwen royal family, and also the end of our destiny."
"hehe!"
Nan Lingqin was confused. She looked at Yuwen Yao's back and suddenly felt completely lost.
Having decided to die, I gave up on her.
"You have raised Xie Danling very well. He is the son of the Prince of Yong and has the blood of the Yuwen royal family in his veins. When you break through the walls of Beirong, you can help him ascend the throne. At that time, you can be free from all worries."
"So, you've thought of everything for me."
"yes."
"Yuwen Yao, I have a question for you."
Nan Lingqin stepped forward, blocking Yuwen Yao's path, her eyes burning with intensity. "That night, the night the Emperor bestowed the marriage upon you, you clearly intended to marry me, didn't you? Were all those words truly sincere?"
"Yes, but in the end I couldn't win. I thought the poison in my body had been cured when I poisoned you back then, but who knew it was just a completely synthesized Gu poison that bound me and the Emperor to life and death together..."
"No, even so, you won't burn me."
"Qin'er... Back then, he hid it so well. When I thought neither of us was under his control, when I thought we could join hands until the day we married, had children together, and were deeply in love, then I would tell you the whereabouts of the 50,000 Yun people, and you wouldn't blame me, wouldn't hate me. When I thought everything would go so smoothly, I learned that he had a puppet controlling you. Moreover, the Emperor of Beirong's methods were so sophisticated. I was even more afraid that, step by step, he would find out your true identity. If you had been left in Beirong at that time, you would never have seen the light of day again..."
"So, you burned me to reassure the Emperor, to make him think that you didn't love me and were just using me, but to deceive him and keep him from knowing my true identity... And when you arrived at the imperial mausoleum, you took the opportunity to find a puppet that could control my life and death."
"……Yes."
Yuwen Yao nodded, his eyelashes trembling slightly, but he didn't have the courage to hold Nan Lingqin in his arms.
When the truth behind the facts was revealed, it was nothing short of shocking and heartbreaking.
"Hahaha... Your lovey-dovey behavior is truly heartbreaking for me. No matter how powerful you are, you are still in my hands. You will all die."
"Whoosh—"
Nan Lingqin thrust out a small crossbow, and instantly, several rows of silver needles as thin as cow hair flew straight toward the Emperor's face.
With a scream, the emperor collapsed onto his dragon bed, gently stroking his face with one hand.
"Such a heartless emperor should have died long ago."
"Hahaha, kill me then! You wouldn't dare, would you? Hahaha, if you kill me, Yuwen Yao will die! Hahaha, this twin Gu poison is incurable, no one in the world can cure it..."
Nan Lingqin watched as this emperor of the Northern Kingdom manipulated people's hearts like sheep in the palm of his hand, treating human life as worthless. It is said that even tigers do not eat their cubs, yet he did not even spare his own son. In order to control him, he did not hesitate to poison him or risk his own life for another. Is this the ruler of a country? Is this the father?
No wonder the Emperor and Empress are not close. No wonder he seemed to favor Prince Xian but never truly loved him.
Later, he watched as the wise king died, which meant he was dead.
Because he only cared about himself, he spent his days and nights refining medicine with human lives in order to uncover the secrets of the Cloud Clan and obtain the secret to immortality.
Such a person still dreams of immortality and resurrection.
"Hehe, no matter how proud you are, have you succeeded in your desire for immortality and resurrection? You have not succeeded, because you could never succeed."
Nan Lingqin's words, each one like poison, shot into the Northern Emperor's ears.
Seeing the pain in his face from the needles, seeing his despair as his sore spots were touched, Nan Lingqin raised her knife and struck. Suddenly, she desperately wanted to see if this kind of person had a black heart.
"Nan Lingqin, if I die, Yuwen Yao will never live another second."
The Northern Emperor wasn't afraid; on the contrary, I threatened her.
“I know, didn’t you all say that just now?” Nan Lingqin’s expression was stern and cold, she remained unyielding and fearless, and continued her actions. “But I would rather he die than have his life controlled like this.”
One sentence made Yuwen Yao behind him feel a surge of heat in his eyes.
She understands him!
Now that things have come to this, she understands him.
Yes, his only purpose in life was to see her more often.
