Chapter 276 The Hatred of Killing One's Mother is Irreconcilable
Yun Zhaoxue's indifferent voice drifted from the carriage, "I'm not a miracle doctor, begging me won't help."
After leaving Jiangling, Hua Murong parted ways with them. He traveled with Zhu Feng and the others, riding in a spacious carriage, drinking and eating heartily. Following the exiles, the food was poor, and he suffered from endless illnesses every day.
For example, right now, if Dr. Hua were here and didn't intervene, he would probably be left to die by crickets, and would be unworthy of being a doctor.
Yun Jiaoyue, unwilling to give up, said, "But you are acquainted with the divine doctor, you will definitely be able to find him. I beg you, my father is already gone, I can't lose my mother. I kowtow to you, please save my mother."
She slowly bent down, her forehead touching the ground.
"I never expected Princess Xuan to be so filial. She looks rather pitiful. If the divine physician were here, he would surely be moved by her filial piety."
Some people scoffed, "She doesn't care about her father's death, and she doesn't even pursue the murderer, but she's already kowtowing to her mother before she's even dead. What kind of filial piety is that?"
"That makes sense. She is only filial to her mother and is cold-blooded and heartless towards her father."
"When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. If one marries a woman like Wang, at best one will be cuckolded, and at worst one will die. In the future, one should be careful when choosing a wife, as family background is more important than character."
...
Yun Jiaoyue continued to kowtow and beg, "Elder sister, I beg you, please send someone to find a divine doctor to treat my mother. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do anything for you."
"Even if you kowtow until your head breaks, it won't help. I really don't know where the miracle doctor is."
She knew she wouldn't save her; Wang deserved to die.
Wang, clutching her aching chest from the kick, stumbled toward her daughter, grabbed her arm, and lifted her up. "Yue'er, don't beg her. I'd rather die than see you stoop so low and beg for my sake. You are a phoenix, born with a phoenix's destiny, a proud phoenix, my pride. You cannot beg anyone..."
He stroked his daughter's cheek with his palm, as if trying to etch her face into his heart as a final farewell.
Suddenly pointing in the direction of the carriage, he shouted sharply, "Especially that little bitch!"
He rushed toward the carriage with ghostly speed, pulled a dagger from his sleeve, and plunged it into the horse's belly.
Blood gushed out, and the horse neighed in pain, "Neigh!!"
The horse slightly raised its front hooves, the carriage tilted backward, and the horse's eyes turned bloodshot as it galloped forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Zhuiying suddenly tightened the reins, the thick rope instantly digging deep into his palm, leaving purplish-red marks. He leaned back, his feet bracing against the carriage floor, his arm muscles bulging, and despite using all his strength, he couldn't stop the carriage.
He shouted in a deep voice, "Whoa—Stop! You beast! Stop! Don't run anymore, do you hear me?"
The horse seemed to have lost control, as if it had tinnitus and couldn't hear his commands, continuing to gallop forward.
"Your Highness, Princess, something terrible has happened! The horse has been stabbed in the belly and has gone berserk."
Seeing this, Wang's lips curled into a chilling smile, then she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, "You little bitch, die! Hahaha!!!"
The people in front of the carriage quickly scrambled to the side, shouting, "Ah! What's going on? Don't come any closer! There are people in front of us!"
Zhuiying shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The carriage is out of control!"
The people in front rushed into the bushes on both sides of the road.
The wheels rolled over the gravel, and the carriage almost flew into the air.
"Bang!" The rear door was kicked open.
Xiao Xuance put his arm around Yun Zhaoxue's waist, leaped down, and landed steadily.
Yun Zhaoxue realized what was happening and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, handing it to Xiao Xuance. "Quickly use the sleeping potion to knock the horse unconscious."
Losing a horse is not a pity, but it would be a pity if the carriage were to break down, as it took several days to build and was made with the finest materials.
Xiao Xuance took the porcelain bottle. Using his light-footed skill, he quickly landed on the roof of the carriage, opened the bottle, and sprinkled the sleeping potion onto the frenzied horse.
The horse smelled the drug and slowed down. Zhuiying pulled hard on the reins, but after a while, the horse's hooves gave way and it knelt down.
On the other side, Madam Wang took Aunt Chen hostage and threatened those around her, saying, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"
Her fingernails dug deep into Aunt Chen's neck.
Hu Feng's knuckles turned white as he gripped the knife hilt, his sharp eagle eyes fixed on Wang Shi. "If you kill her, you won't live either. Release her!"
Wang pointed at him and sneered, "Well, the adulterer has already jumped out, and you still say that the two of you are not having an affair. If you weren't having an affair, would you be so nervous?"
"You want to save her, right? You kill yourself first, and I'll let her go!"
Aunt Chen shook her head at Hu Feng, "No! Don't worry about me... kill her..."
Yun Jiaoyue didn't want to see Wang Shi risk her life for revenge. She didn't have many relatives left in this world, so she advised, "Mother, you've been poisoned and are delirious. You don't know what you're doing. Listen to me first, release the person, and I will definitely find a divine doctor to cure you."
Wang lived for only one purpose: revenge. Her enemy was right in front of her, and if she couldn't get revenge, she would rather be dead than alive.
"No need. Before I die, I'll take two scumbags down with me. That would make my death worthwhile. From now on, you two siblings must support and look after each other, understand?"
Yun Yanzhe said, "Mother, what are you doing? We've come this far with great difficulty, and we'll reach Lingnan in just over a month. We've overcome all the hardships before, so why not persevere a little longer? Listen to your son, put down the knife. There's still a chance to turn things around."
"Yes, Mother, let them go."
"I'll count to three, three..."
Hu Feng interrupted her, "Don't even think about lying to me. Unless you release the person first."
Wang sneered, "Fine, I'll kill the slut first, then the adulterer."
Chen Yuru shook her head with difficulty, "No! He's not an adulterer. I've already received the divorce papers from Yun Xiuwen. I'm no longer his concubine. I, Chen Yuru, am just myself, uh..."
Wang's voice was shrill, "Still dare to deny it! You were already hooking up with her before you even got the divorce papers. I've already gotten rid of that bastard Yun Zhaoxue, and now I'm getting rid of you two, you two adulterers, to clean house for the Yun family!"
"You also had an adulterer and fathered an illegitimate child, but the master accidentally killed him. No, it wasn't an accident. That day by the railing, I deliberately bumped into him, causing him to knock your son down with a stick. Hahaha!!!"
Wang's eyes widened. "It was you?"
Yun Xiuwen said someone pushed her.
She always thought she was lying to herself.
"Yes! It was me. You killed the wrong person, but he deserved to die. It was all his retribution. He deserved it!"
"Damn it! I'll kill you to pay for my Yang'er's death!" Wang was completely enraged and lost her mind. She gripped her neck tightly with her five fingers, trying to break it.
Aunt Chen secretly slipped a dagger from her sleeve, held it in her hand, and stabbed it into Wang's abdomen.
"Pfft!"
Wang paused in her movements.
Aunt Chen pried open the hands that were locked around her neck, turned around, and forcefully stabbed the dagger in, leaving only the hilt sticking out. She pressed it against the tree, then pulled it out and stabbed her again. "Swoosh!"
Blood splattered on Aunt Chen's face and slid down her cheeks.
"I never intended to harm your son. You killed my child first and then tried to take my life, so I killed your son! An eye for an eye is fair!"
"You deserve to die!"
Wang raised her hand to hit her, but her hand fell limply to the side. Blood kept gushing from her mouth, her head lolled to the side, and she died.
Aunt Chen felt all her strength drain away and turned around, taking two steps back.
Wang, who was still not quite dead while leaning against the tree, suddenly pulled out a dagger from her abdomen and stabbed her in the back.
Hu Feng lunged at Aunt Chen, grabbed her, and turned her around, exposing his back to the blade. "Watch out!"
The knife had just penetrated an inch into his back.
At the critical moment, Yun Zhaoxue drew Zhao Jiu's sword with her backhand, tossed it up and down, flipped her wrist to grasp the hilt, and flung it away, sending it flying through the air. With a "whoosh!" it pierced into Wang Shi's abdomen.
Hearing the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, Hu Feng thought he had been stabbed through. Looking down, he saw nothing, only a slight pain in his back.
The knife in Wang's hand clattered to the ground, blood gushed from her mouth, and she stared intently at Yun Zhaoxue, "How... how come you're still not dead?"
There are cliffs all around, and if the carriage goes out of control, it could easily sweep her off the cliff and leave her with no place to be buried.
Even though she risked jumping off the carriage, she lost her baby, causing her unbearable pain, but she was still alright and delivered the final, fatal blow to herself.
Yun Jiaoyue and her brother rushed over to help her up as she collapsed. "Mother, Mother, how could you be so foolish? If we had found the miracle doctor, you would have been saved. You wouldn't have died..."
Once she becomes empress, killing whomever she wants is just a matter of a word. It's not worth risking her life for revenge.
"Mother, Mother..."
"Cough cough..."
Zhao Jiu walked over and pulled out the knife.
Blood gushed from Wang's abdomen. She raised her head and pounded her fist, then quickly died.
"What are you doing? Don't go too far! My mother has already been killed by you, what more do you want?"
"Why didn't you even give her a chance to say her last words?"
Zhao Jiu scratched his head awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm afraid the knife will get poisoned!"
He usually wouldn't dare use this fine sword forged from black iron. If it were to be contaminated with the poison of the medicine man and become unusable, who would he be able to complain to?
Enraged, Yun Yanzhe grabbed his collar and was about to punch him.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhao Jiu covered his head with his arm and did not retaliate.
He got punched twice.
He wanted to beat her again, seemingly determined to hold Zhao Jiu responsible for his mother's death, always picking on the weak.
Su Wanwan couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over with her crutch to scold Yun Yanzhe, "Don't go too far, it wasn't Zhao Jiu who killed him."
Yun Jiaoyue pushed her down, "You slut! You're His Highness's concubine! Speaking up for an outsider, have you been seducing him all along?"
Old Liao: "What are you doing? One dead body isn't enough, do you want a few more to die? Men, find a ditch and dump the body there, then keep going!"
In the past, corpses would be handled by the family members themselves, but only Wang received this 'special' treatment.
She was poisoned by the drug-wielding man and possessed strange powers. Only after being thrown into a ravine and smashed to pieces could one be certain that she had suddenly risen from the dead to seek revenge.
Yun Jiaoyue looked up at Lao Liao with tearful eyes, "Throw her off the cliff? You dare! My mother's body is none of your business, I'll handle it myself. I must ensure my mother is laid to rest."
People around them were talking about it.
“Master Liao, for the sake of Princess Xuan’s filial piety, let them bury her. As her children, they certainly can’t bear to see their mother’s body exposed in the wilderness.”
"Yes, the person is dead, all grudges are settled..."
"We don't have time to dig a pit for you. The drug-using person is immortal. If he comes back to kill us, who among you can stop him?" Old Liao waved his hand, and two escorts stepped forward to lift the body and throw it off the cliff not far ahead. It didn't even make a sound when it was thrown down.
Yun Jiaoyue lay on the edge of the cliff, almost fainting from crying, "Mother, Mother..."
He glanced back at Aunt Chen, Yun Zhaoxue, and the others with a hateful gaze. The hatred for killing his mother was irreconcilable. His scarlet eyes surged with deep-seated resentment, and his lower lip was bitten until it bled.
She will never let anyone who killed her mother get away with it; they'll all pay!
