"Master, Master, take Sisi over there, take Sisi over there, Sisi wants to go find Father Emperor."
Why? Why did the plot fall apart on its own? Was it because I didn't complete the task given to me by Heaven on time?
But, that doesn't make sense either. I haven't heard that the little one wants to exterminate the Wen family's entire clan. So why is that?
"Master..."
Seeing that Nanrong Jinghua showed no intention of making a move, Helian Si raised his tear-stained face.
Her grape-like, moist eyes were now veiled with tears.
She looked at Nanrong Jinghua with such pleading and expectation, like a little kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner, so pitiful.
"Sisi, you're still too young. You won't be able to help the Emperor if you go there. The Emperor will be alright. Be good, okay?"
Nanrong Jinghua couldn't bear to see his Ah Sheng looking at him with such a wronged expression, so he gently pressed the little girl's head against his heart.
She explained softly, but ultimately it was her own pettiness that made her unable to bear seeing her Ah Sheng so worried about others.
Even though that person was Ah Sheng's father in this life, the bitterness in her heart still spread inch by inch, and every word she uttered was tinged with sourness.
"But,"
But she was still afraid that something would happen to her baby, sob sob sob.
The little girl clutched Nan Rong Jinghua's clothes tightly with her small hands, out of worry...
Little tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, soaking a small patch of Nan Rong Jing Hua's clothes without her even realizing it.
Where the firelight leaped,
The high vermilion palace walls and long, secluded corridors, originally symbols of the imperial majesty, were now a battleground between two opposing forces.
The clash of swords and the clang of weapons filled the air, splattering warm blood, accompanied by groans and the sound of severed limbs and remains. A thick, pungent stench of blood permeated the long, dark corridor.
"General, we've fallen into a trap! Helian Nie had laid an ambush all along!"
The speaker was Wen Yi's trusted confidant, his sword flashing as he watched the ever-growing number of Imperial Guards charging out, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
Seeing more and more of his men fall, Wen Yi understood perfectly well. His rugged, burly face was filled with gloom.
The veins on his hand, gripping a blood-soaked longsword, bulged, and his fierce eyes were fixed on the person standing on the pavilion.
Dressed in a crimson dragon robe, Wen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Helian Nie as if he were a clown. One can imagine the anger in Wen Yi's heart.
Helian Nie!
They all underestimated Helian Nie. Who could have imagined that at such a young age, he would be sent to another country as a hostage by the late emperor?
Everyone looked down on the lonely, down-on-his-luck prince, yet he used his cunning and scheming to murder his father and brother and seize the supreme position.
It's laughable that they could scheme and plot their way to this point, and yet they still believed it.
Helian Nie's position today was only bestowed upon him by the Wen family; in the end, he was merely a pawn in the Wen family's quest to seize control of the Northern Yin realm.
Who would have thought that the dog the Wen family raised was not a dog that could be manipulated at will, but a venomous snake lying in wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the Wen family!
Helian Nie! Helian Nie!!
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have cared about the public's condemnation. I should have completely eradicated the Helian royal family!
"Tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty, did you see the way that old scoundrel Wen Yi looked at you? He probably wished he could tear you to pieces."
"Your Majesty, heed my advice: do not be soft-hearted later, leave no one alive."
If Wenren Yu's earlier sentences were delivered in a carefree and joking manner,
When those last four words were uttered from Wenren Yu's lips, her usual carefree attitude vanished.
His handsome face was like a painting, with a bewitching and ruthless smile on his lips. The beauty mark at the corner of his phoenix eyes was particularly striking at this moment.
