This is……
The Art of Nightmare Victory.
The dignified emperor actually...
"So that's how it is." Tridacna's shocked voice rang out, "There must be her heart's blood on that puppet..."
"Heart's blood?"
The Southern Emperor and Xie Lingqin spoke almost in unison.
What does blood from the heart mean?
The combination of the Nightmare Spell and heart's blood is enough to kill someone.
“No wonder she was bound in this Northern Emperor’s Palace. No wonder she came to this imperial mausoleum on her own, only to be suppressed by your Northern Rong’s chaotic formation. Yuwen Shu…” The black-robed man’s eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Xie Lingqin. “Open the door. Today I will avenge her.”
Xie Lingqin didn't move, her starry eyes filled with shock as she looked outside the stone wall.
The emperor grinned maliciously, as if possessed. Then, she saw with her own eyes that the emperor actually took out a silver needle, as long as two fingers, from the throbbing muscles in his arm, and then, with a flick of his wrist, plunged the needle into the heart of the doll.
"flutter--"
Xie Lingqin coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately felt dizzy.
"Miss, Miss..."
"Oh no! She's Aunt Yun's daughter. If the Emperor does this, she'll be implicated too." Xu Yiran and Chequ grabbed Xie Lingqin to support her.
"Haha, Xie Lingqin, you're not coming out, are you? Don't worry, you won't die, and I won't let you die either. After all, you only have half of Yun Yishang's blood on you. However, if you don't come out, this torture will be enough to make you wish you were dead."
Outside the stone wall, the emperor spoke, then delivered another sharp blow.
"ah--"
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth, sweating profusely from the pain, feeling as if a thousand needles were pricking her body.
Her head felt like it was about to explode; all her memories were instantly jumbled and rearranged.
Hers, the cloud-like garment.
Yun Yishang before her death.
The desperate wails, even anticipating the fate of Zongzheng Shao and his five hundred guards, led them to kneel and beg the emperor for mercy...
But……
Yuwen Shu did not let her go. She demanded that she reveal how she entered the Yun Clan and the Yun Clan's method of achieving immortality.
Each and every stitch.
Back then, her mother, Yun Yishang, suffered even more pain than she did from being loved.
Even in excruciating pain, she did not utter any words the emperor wanted to hear.
Amidst raging fire and deep water, in a bottomless abyss, she hated, she resented, she was unwilling, she struggled bitterly until finally, she exhausted her last bit of spiritual power and dissolved into the world.
She said.
"My daughter, I have become all things in heaven and earth, air and dust, to be with you. If you return, please give this world peace."
"With you..."
Xie Lingqin suddenly murmured, tears streaming down her face. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she looked truly cold and desolate at that moment.
The Southern Emperor, the man in black robes, and the others looked at her with heartache and helplessness.
"My mother's last words before she died were 'Be with you.' She wanted to be with me, so she dissolved into this world," Xie Lingqin said, looking at the black robe.
"you……"
The man in black robes strode over. "You saw her, you saw her, didn't you?"
“I saw it.”
Xie Lingqin said, tears streaming down her face, but she knew these tears weren't hers; they were the heavy memories of Yun Yishang.
More than ten years later, his scattered soul finally sensed the return of his daughter.
It turns out that from the very beginning, she was always herself, and her time travel was all preordained.
Just now, I heard the man in black robes say that it was just a sharp pain in his heart, but now, seeing it with my own eyes, the grief that permeates the air with death is indescribable.
Outside the stone wall, the emperor stopped what he was doing. He looked at the stone wall with a cold smile, then ordered to those behind him, "Seal off all roads leading from the imperial mausoleum to the outside world, except for the way we came in."
"Your Majesty, no! This is the imperial mausoleum! This..."
"I do not believe that one day I will be trapped here again."
The visitor had no way to refute the argument, so he immediately led his men away.
Time slips away, little by little.
Because the Emperor stopped giving her acupuncture, Xie Lingqin felt a little better, but the excruciating pain of being pierced by countless needles still lingered.
"Xie Lingqin, I will give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to consider. Whether you die here like your mother did back then, or come out obediently, it is up to you. I think you are not alone, and you do not want them to be buried with you."
After the emperor finished speaking his threat, he led his men away from the stone chamber.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, but all the roads were blocked off.
If they went out now, they could neither go forward nor backward.
"Even if it means death, your father will not hand you over. Lingqin, you are my daughter. I could not protect your mother in life, but I will protect you in death."
The Southern Emperor, a handsome and dignified middle-aged man, held Xie Lingqin's hand, his eyes red with guilt.
"Xiao Qin, with so many of us here with you, you won't be lonely." Xu Yiran gently squatted down, patted Xie Lingqin's shoulder, and smiled.
Fresh, clean, and warm, just like before.
Even as the world changes and all things come to a close, he remains the same person who silently stays by her side, unchanging for anything.
“Xu Yiran…”
Before Xie Lingqin could speak, Xu Yiran suddenly grabbed her wrist, her clear eyes fixed intently on her. "If it was just Aunt Yun's request at first, over the years, you have become like a brand ingrained in my blood. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and I want to see you well."
“Miss, we are with you.” Tridacna’s eyes were more determined than ever before, and the brow bone on her round face instantly became serious.
