"You've been lying to me."
"You hate me, so you made it up to deceive me!"
"I clearly asked someone to investigate, and they said Yue'er died from an accidental shooting. Yue'er... Yue'er wasn't..."
"You lied to me!!"
Zong Zheng Langri roared at the top of his lungs.
And he grabbed the soft sword pointing at his eyebrows.
"Rong Shi, you hate your uncle, so you made up all this to deceive him, right?"
Duan Rongshi: "Shut up! I don't have an uncle like you!"
Zong Zheng Langri looked at his expression and gradually realized that every word Duan Rongshi said was probably true!
His face turned completely pale and he collapsed.
"I'm the one who harmed Yue'er."
"It's me!"
“It’s me!!”
"Why, why me?"
"I was deceived for so many years and didn't know the truth!"
"They all lied to me, lied to me—"
“Why!!”
"I finally accepted the fact that Yue'er died unexpectedly, but in the end, I was the one who killed Yue'er."
"She has suffered so much, and yet I still don't dare to stand up for her and avenge her."
"I am the one who deserves to die. I am the one who deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"Rong Shi, please kill me, kill me——"
Zong Zheng Langri knew that his nephew now hated his uncle to the core.
So, even though his palms were already bloody, he still held the sword tightly and stabbed it towards his heart!
Duan Rongshi let his own strength run wild and watched the sword pierce into his chest with a "swish".
But when the sword was inserted, he pulled it out in time.
Just because Li Qingluo shouted: "Ashi!"
Therefore, the King of Chu only suffered some minor injuries and was not actually killed by the sword.
However, he still turned around and lay on the ground, then he cried out "wow" and spat out three mouthfuls of blood.
"Yue'er..."
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
"Brother once thought he had saved you and atoned for his sins..."
"But I didn't expect that I would push you into a place of no return!"
"If I had known earlier, when you returned to Da Chu to visit your family, I would have tried every possible means to keep you here."
"What if I die?"
"But you should still be alive... It's all my fault. I didn't dare to die. It's my brother's fault!"
Li Qingluo walked out quickly and came to Duan Rongshi's side.
She snatched the sword from his hand.
"From what he said, I think there might be something else going on regarding my mother."
"Would you mind listening to him for a few more words?"
Duan Rongshi tried his best to restrain and suppress his emotions.
He just clenched his fists.
Li Qingluo looked at the Chu Emperor lying on the ground, covered in blood and wounds.
There was no trace of pity in her eyes. She simply asked in a resounding voice, "What happened when my mother returned to visit her relatives in Great Chu?"
"Isn't it just the King of Qin who wants to use Mother to ruin your two good reputations?"
"Your temperament has changed drastically, and it was only after your mother returned to Da Chu that the change became particularly noticeable."
"What happened to you?"
Zong Zheng Langri raised his head and looked at Li Qingluo in a daze.
Li Qingluo felt that there was nothing to hide anymore.
She first looked at Duan Rongshi, and after seeing his approval in her eyes, she pulled off the mask on her face.
After seeing who she was, Zong Zheng Langri was shocked: "It's you!"
"So... Rong Shi, you are Li Wu?"
Duan Rongshi didn't say anything, but stared at Zong Zheng Langri with cold and disgusted eyes.
Zong Zheng Langri raised his head and laughed out loud.
Tears mixed with the blood on his face and flowed down.
"really."
"To avenge your mother, you can forsake the wealth, fame, and power of Daliang. Even if you have to fake your own death to escape, you must come to Da Chu to personally avenge your mother."
"Furthermore, you disguised yourself and deliberately approached me, gradually letting me see your abilities and gaining my trust and reliance."
"If I hadn't suddenly captured your wife, you wouldn't have come back so soon and turned against me, right?"
As he spoke, the Chu Emperor's eyes showed a hint of relief: "You are a good and filial child. Even if I die at your hands, my uncle will die without regrets."
"Your mother is blessed to have a child like you."
"It's you, so what if you know the truth?"
As he spoke, Zong Zheng Langri raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
What was revealed in his eyes was the deepest memories of the past, the most unbearable pain that he could not bear to look back on and did not want to think about.
"Back then, my mother died of illness in the cold palace, and Yue'er and I depended on each other for several more years."
"Perhaps the memories of my childhood were too bitter and too profound, so even after I became the emperor, I still have nightmares every night."
"Only when I see the moon can I feel at peace."
"I regard your mother as the closest person in the world. She is the child I raised with my own hands. How could I harm her?"
"So, I knew at first sight that Xie Huaiyuan was not a good man."
"But your mother has become increasingly distant from me, to the point where I sometimes don't even see her for three or five days."
"She wasn't like this before!"
"She no longer hugs my arm and calls me brother affectionately."
"You no longer prioritize me as your brother, no longer care about me, and no longer surround me."
"Sometimes my temper becomes uncontrollably sinister, and I want to get angry and want to control your mother again."
"I do have selfish motives. I would rather your mother remain single and stay by my side for the rest of her life. My control over and attachment to her are definitely not as simple as those of an ordinary brother and sister."
"I am guilty of this matter, and I cannot deny it."
"But she is the only one left for me."
