My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant - Chapter 892: Let Bygones by Bygones

Jun Luo You noticed that Jun Luo Chen wanted to draw a line with him—how could he let that happen.

He knew that Jun Luo Chen had a strong sense of responsibility towards the devils, so he said in a muffled voice: “I’ve already trained Sixteenth Younger Brother to be a qualified monarch, he will succeed the position of Devil Lord.”

“…” Jun Luo Chen was startled. He didn’t expect Jun Luo You to even think about a backup plan.

So when did this person discover his whereabouts?

“When did I say I was going to leave with you? Jun Luo You, many things can’t be erased after they happen. ‘A broken mirror is difficult to mend’. The brotherhood between us is already over.” Jun Luo Chen sighed.

He was able to let go of all the hatred in the past, but it was difficult to untie the knot in his heart.

“Eldest Brother, do you have to force me?” Jun Luo You raised his head, staring at Jun Luo Chen with reddish eyes, pursing his lips.

When Jun Luo Chen heard his words, his anger constantly burst out. He glared at Jun Luo You fiercely and said: “Just who’s forcing who? What, do you want to kill me again?”

Jun Luo You’s face paled. He shook his head: “How could I be willing to hurt you again.”

Jun Luo Chen suppressed his fury and said angrily: “Let go.”

“Eldest Brother, you can punish me however you want, but don’t leave me, or don’t let me leave you, please?” Jun Luo You begged once more.

“No, I don’t want to be betrayed again.” Jun Luo Chen said resolutely.

Jun Luo You’s heart was throbbing with pain. He thought for a while, then took out a fist-sized, small red ball from his waist and handed it to Jun Luo Chen, saying: “Eldest Brother, if you really hate me that much, then you can destroy my main soul.”

Jun Luo Chen took the red ball inexplicably and his expression changed drastically when he took a closer look.

“Have you gone crazy?” Jun Luo Chen gasped, his voice trembling.

He knew what this small red ball was.

This was also a supreme treasure of the devils, but it was very sinister.

This small red ball could imprison the main soul of a person and burn it with the most intense flames of hell every day. Regardless of how many strands of split souls there were, the pain of the soul being burned could still be felt.

This kind of punishment was worse than death. It was the means used by the former Devil Lord to deal with the most hated enemy.

But he never expected that Jun Luo You would use this method on himself, and judging from the weakening of the soul in the small ball, Jun Luo You’s soul had been imprisoned and burned for a century.

That was to say, only a few years after his body was destroyed and his soul scattered, Jun Luo You imprisoned his own main soul and burned himself.

“I did go crazy.” Jun Luo You said with hesitation and grief on his face, “I shouldn’t have been blinded by hatred and attacked Eldest Brother. After Eldest Brother’s soul scattered, I searched to no avail and was in regret and pain all day long, so I imprisoned and punished my main soul, only wishing to suffer together with Eldest Brother.”

He could only feel a little better when he endured the burning pain of the hell’s flame every day, and this was also a way to soften Jun Luo Chen’s heart when they met again in the future.

He admitted that he was a bit despicable, but as long as Jun Luo Chen could return to him, he was willing to do anything.

Right now, Jun Luo Chen didn’t know what words he could use to describe his mood. He didn’t feel at all relieved, nor pleased, but instead felt extreme heartache.

The child he pampered growing up was actually tortured for so many years using such a cruel method. Most of the knots in his heart had been untied.

“Remove your main soul from it and destroy this supreme treasure.” He said with a sigh.

“If Eldest Brother forgives me, then I’ll destroy it.” Jun Luo You said firmly: “But if Eldest Brother doesn’t forgive me, then just let the main soul continue to burn slowly until it perishes.”

Jun Luo Chen’s expression immediately darkened, “Are you threatening me?”

“No, I’m just expressing my thoughts.” Jun Luo You muttered.

Jun Luo Chen really wanted to give Jun Luo You a good beating—why was this child still so wilful?

“You said you were blinded by hatred just now, then can I think that you killed me not because of ambition?” Jun Luo Chen calmed down a lot now.

Jun Luo You was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Yes.”

“Why don’t I remember creating such a life-or-death grudge with you?” Jun Luo Chen said a little angrily.

Jun Luo You lowered his head, “It’s your Empress Mother who killed my Concubine Mother.”

There was surprise in Jun Luo Chen’s eyes, and his brows furrowed deeply, “You mean that Concubine Shao was killed by my Empress Mother?”

When Concubine Shao died, he was travelling outside and didn’t know the karma involved. After he returned, Concubine Shao had been dead for several years already, plus he didn’t pay attention to Concubine Shao, so he didn’t ask about the cause of death.

Later, he discovered that Jun Luo You was bullied miserably by a group of royal brothers, so he took him back to raise him personally after feeling that they were fated.

He didn’t expect this kind of story to be hidden within.

“Mm, the Empress bestowed a glass of poisoned wine, and my Concubine Mother died after drinking it. At the time, I was hiding under the bed and watched everything happen with my own eyes.” When Jun Luo You mentioned the grudge of that time, neither his tone nor gaze fluctuated, obviously having let it go.

“I had hatred in my heart, but I didn’t have the strength to take revenge, so I endured it.”

He paused, then continued: “Emperor Father also disliked me very much, and it could even be said he despised me. I think it’s the Empress’s fault. I was often bullied in the palace, and I originally wanted to sneak out of the Devil Capital, but who expected that I met you.”

He would never forget Jun Luo Chen’s warm and sunny smile when he took him back to the palace during his most embarrassing and weakest state.

“I didn’t even want to seek revenge on you back then, but then the Empress died prematurely in an accident, so I passed on the murderous intent towards the Empress to you.”

After listening to Jun Luo You’s words, Jun Luo Chen suddenly understood—so that was how it was.

He didn’t suspect that Jun Luo You was lying. Firstly because such a thing could be ascertained by taking out the death records of Concubine Shao a hundred years ago, and with the temper of his Empress Mother, she could indeed do such a thing; secondly, his Emperor Father had reminded him not to raise wolves, in case they cause trouble—it was him who had ‘plugged his ears while stealing a bell¹’.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Jun Luo Chen’s red eyes, and there were still traces of sorrow in his black pupils. The lumps in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the knots in his heart were completely untied.

Back then, Jun Luo You lost his mother, his Emperor Father also hated him for unknown reasons, and he was bullied and insulted by his peers every day, so it was inevitable that it left an indelible hatred in his heart.

Jun Luo Chen sighed inwardly and compared himself to him—if such a thing occurred to him, he might also become dark and twisted. It was normal to secretly seek revenge.

Of course, if this matter happened to other princes, Jun Luo Chen wouldn’t feel too guilty, and would even kill this hatred in the bud. After all, he wasn’t merciful.

But it being Jun Luo You, the one he single-handedly raised and pampered growing up, he subconsciously empathised.

“Forget it, I didn’t expect there to be such a part in the past.” Jun Luo Chen closed his eyes, opened them, and handed the little red ball to Jun Luo You, saying: “Destroy it.”

Jun Luo You understood Jun Luo Chen very well, and joy burst in his eyes, “So Eldest Brother has forgiven me?”

Jun Luo Chen glared at him, “Are you going to destroy it or not?”

Wasn’t it fine to just be acquiescent to something like this, did he have to ask it aloud.

How did Jun Luo You not know that Jun Luo Chen really wouldn’t bother with this anymore. Even if they couldn’t return to how it was in the past for now, but one day, he would definitely let them return to how it was in the past.

He rubbed Jun Luo Chen’s shoulder with his head as he did when he was a child, and with a smile on his face, took the small red ball and destroyed it on the spot.

A ray of a white soul flew out of the small ball and merged with Jun Luo You.

As the small red ball shattered and collapsed, the two brothers finally let bygones be bygones.
