The Scheming Young Master - C49 He is not a monster

He is not a monster

“So you’re saying… She knows all about it? ”

In the empty imperial study, these words were like the sentences of the ten Yama Kings, echoing endlessly in his ears. The man who had been questioned leaned back in his chair. His expression showed a hint of weariness. “Probably.”

He said: “She had already guessed it, but she had been hiding it in her heart and did not dare to ask for confirmation. Tutor Liang’s accidental death could be considered as a fuse … It’s my fault that I couldn’t control myself and leaked the information in front of her. ”

“Don’t take everything for yourself …” Chen Jinyan flipped through the imperial reports by his side: “Who would have thought that he would actually make a move against Tutor Liang.”

Pausing, he then asked, “What do you plan to do now? “Tell her the truth?”

“I don’t know …” The man seemed to sigh under the moonlight. His gaze wandered past the window and landed on a tree branch outside. His dark and hoarse voice seemed to come from somewhere far away, “I’m just afraid that she’s fallen into a trap and isn’t willing to believe me.”

After Chen Jinyan heard this, he also became silent.

“No.” Chen Jinyan raised his head, and saw a cruel expression surface on Mu Yizhou’s face. “Xu Heng must die in the Northern Tribes!”

“As long as he dies, our plan will continue, and she …”

to follow the path that we planned to take.

Mu Yizhou raised his head and looked at the moonlight.

Regret would often appear in his heart for no reason, and these emotions were densely wrapped around his heart like vines, leaving bloody scars. Not only was it accompanied by bone-piercing pain, but at the same time, he understood better than anyone else that even if he regretted, he wouldn’t retreat.

He stood up from the chair, reached for the mask at the side and put it on, “I’ll go see her …” Just in case something happens. ”

“Ah Zhou!” A second before he left, Chen Jinyan called out to him: “Maybe, you can try wearing this mask? “What if she …”

“She won’t want to see me.” Mu Yizhou replied without even turning his head, “So what if Xu Heng dies?”

Dead people were a meaningless name in this world, and in her heart was a lonely grave overgrown with weeds.

None of them had the qualifications to turn back.

Wen Yan peeled away the fake image she had in the past and said with a green face and fangs: “He’s also gone.”

Chen Liyi timidly took two steps closer to Luo Yi. He clearly hadn’t said anything, but the first thing he felt was fear: “Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I …”

“This servant will teach you!” Wen Yan turned her head to look at Chen Liyi, her eyes bloodshot. “You are the crown prince! She was the future emperor! In this world, you should be the only one who can rule the world! The monarch is the first and the people are the last. Those lowly people are like grass and plants. They are born to be a source of entertainment for you … So why did you apologize? What right do you have to apologize? ”

“What’s more, she lied to you! Didn’t the crown prince hear it? She lied to you! ”

When Wen Yan said these words, her expression did not seem deranged, his tone was calm and collected, she even purposefully lightened his tone by a lot, as though she was a demon tempting a human to sell their souls, and behind her face, was a terrifying mouth that revealed its fangs.

Chen Liyi looked at her indifferently, as if he was already used to her words, and did not display any special feelings, he only opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted before he could even utter the first syllable: “Yes, I lied to you.”

Luo Yi carelessly asked: “So? “Are you going to kill me like she said?”

“No!” Chen Liyi immediately turned his head around. “I don’t think so … “I won’t kill you …”

It was unknown what scene he had thought of, but the tone of his voice suddenly became anxious, “I didn’t think so …” “Don’t leave me behind …”

His voice sounded like he was crying. Luo Yi’s heart softened, and his tone grew softer as well, “The first time I saw you was here. You said your pet died, and you buried it here …”

When she was speaking, her mind automatically recalled the scene from that day. Chen Liyi, who looked like a ball of noodles, sat on the stairs and raised the scar on her hand that could no longer be seen.

“I forgot to ask you at that time …” She lowered her eyes and continued, “How did it die?”

However, before Chen Liyi could say anything, Wen Yan laughed sinisterly: “Of course it was my crown prince who personally killed him!”

She turned around and held both of Chen Liyi’s hands. Chen Liyi finally sensed that something was wrong and used all his might to try to shake off her hands, but the person behind her was simply too strong, even if he went all out, he still could not break free. He could only let her hold his hands and repeat what she had done to him that day, “Qu Qu is just an animal, he actually dares to do this to the crown prince …”

Wen Yan laughed: “The Empress doesn’t know, right? Just like that, this servant held the crown prince’s hand and personally cut open the belly of that beast … The intestines were all over the floor. ”

“As for our crown prince …” Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his blade down. ”

“No!” “I …” Chen Liyi frantically raised his head to look at Luo Yi, his voice shockingly tinged with killing intent: “She’s the one who lied to you …”

Luo Yi’s heart suddenly went cold.

The smile on Wen Yan’s lips widened as she mouthed to Luo Yi from afar, “Look, you can’t save him.”

Luo Yi had finally taken the first step, then the second, the third, tonight.

She walked closer and closer, and in the end, she stopped right in front of the two of them. Using all of her strength, she pushed Wen Yan’s hand away from Chen Liyi’s hand, and then revealed a smile. Sister, can you boast to us? ”

To put it bluntly, she was a child without love, but because someone else gave her a candy, she foolishly treated him as her only kin. Although Luo Yi was smiling on the outside, her heart was as cold as ice.

She lowered her eyes and pulled Chen Liyi towards her, then knelt on the ground and gently hugged him. “Why would Sister not want you? When the weather gets better, we’ll go kite flying together, just the two of us, okay? ”

“…” “Alright.”

After a long period of silence, Luo Yi heard Chen Liyi’s voice from his arms.

“Good boy.” She placed her hand on top of Chen Liyi’s head, and then held his hand all the way down: “Then let’s go back.”

Since she said that, she did not give a single glance at Wen Yan, who was behind her. Of course, she did not see him take out a dagger from his chest.

However, because Chen Liyi turned his body slowly and saw it, he was pulled forward by Luo Yi before he could even speak. At the same time, a green figure floated down from the tree shadows and quietly grabbed the dagger in her hand, removing one of her arms.

“Thank you.” Luo Yi walked forward: “I’ll have to trouble Lord Mu to send this person to Hall of Announcements. I still have questions to ask her.”

“Yes.” The person behind him replied.

It was already the latter half of the night when everything was settled. Luo Yi coaxed Chen Liyi to sleep, and then carefully lit the mosquito repellent on the side of his bed before coming out of his room.

Hall of Announcements did not even make a sound, Luo Yi raised her eyes and looked at the sky.

It was not a good day for tomorrow.

The incident of the Tutor Liang being assassinated had thus become a headless mystery, because no one dared to apprehend the real culprit.

Luo Yi shook her head.

It was as if nothing had happened yesterday. The way they interacted was no different from everyday. Luo Yi pinched his forehead and asked her to go find the head of the palace, as well as the old granny.

Most of these nuns could not remember what had happened more than ten years ago, so they could only think of a few words from time to time, like fragments. However, even if one were to put more effort on the pieces, one would be able to see what this thing looked like before it was shattered. Luo Yi sat on the chair and played with her fingers in a seemingly casual manner.

It was rare for her to be so calm. She didn’t even say a word after drinking the entire pot of tea, yet Wen Yan, who was facing her, couldn’t hold it in any longer and grinded his teeth as he asked her why she was here.

The place that Wen Yan was locked in was an empty room in the Hall of Announcements. She asked Chen Jinyan to borrow two Imperial Guards to stand guard at the door, using them as a simple cell.

Her arm was previously broken by Mu Yizhou, but she was still pressed on it herself later on. It was just that she wasn’t well and her bones were dislocated, making her look a little strange.

Luo Yi drank her tea, then laughed: “I’ll tell you a story.”

She was well aware of the principle of beating a snake to pieces, so she threw out a bomb. “Your mother is called Li Xiu Tan, and when she was alive, she served beside the Grand Emperor, right?”

When Wen Yan heard the second word, he struggled to pounce towards her side. However, she was kicked onto her knees by Qing Luo, causing him to kneel down weakly, and could only gnash her teeth and listen to what Luo Yi said.

However, Luo Yi stopped at this moment, and raised her head to look at Qing Luo.

Qing Luo retreated two steps.

Luo Yi then continued, “Li Xiu Tan is a well-known beauty in the palace who served in front of the imperial palace. At that time, everyone thought that she would be taken into the imperial harem, and from then on she flew up to the branches and became a phoenix … Even she herself thinks so. ”

“However, that day when the palace was hosting a banquet for a group of officials, an adult who drank too much raped your mother due to lust … Oh, your father. ”

“Shut up! I don’t have a father like that! ” Wen Yan became excited, roaring like a trapped beast.

Luo Yi turned a deaf ear, “Your mother’s body was destroyed, so naturally, her beautiful dream was broken as well. The Emperor couldn’t possibly want a dirty woman, and your father …”

He despised Li Xiu’s birth and refused to marry her.

However, in the eyes of these powerful people, women were items that could be bought and sold at will. Especially beautiful women like Li Xiuping, Chen Longan gave Li Xiuping to the man who gave her to the other ministers in the court for benefits.

They used her like a rag and threw her away. When they finally returned to the man’s hand, Li Xiuqin was already in a terrible condition.

She was originally a beautiful woman who had read two books before entering the palace. However, she was tortured to the point that she could not even see the sunlight as she huddled in the corner, becoming a complete lunatic.

Li Xiuwei found out she was pregnant after she went crazy.

Wen Yan was born in the winter.

Winter had never been for the poor. Li Xiu Qin held Wen Yan tightly in her arms, afraid that the heavy snow would freeze her to death, but because she was unconscious, she almost strangled Wen Yan to death. However, Wen Yan did not blame her, she only blamed those men.

It was winter when her mother died. No one came to collect her body, so she and her mother’s body were just thrown out on the snow-covered street. The servant who had thrown them out rubbed his hands on them and then spat at them, “Pah! “Unlucky!”

The young Wen Yan then thought that there was no hope for this country.

“Heartless, unrighteous. Those expressionless figures who walk past us turn into green-faced monsters with fangs.”

At this moment, Wen Yan suddenly calmed down, the strange smile on her lips revealed a sense of tranquility: “This country will be destroyed by these monsters sooner or later anyway, why don’t I help them?”

“How can a child born of a monster be human? Didn’t he just kill his own mother when he was born, and get sent to the empress’s side to be raised? So … My noble Esteemed Empress Yi, you cannot save him … He’s a monster, a monster that kills people without blinking an eye! ”

However, outsiders were still outsiders. She sympathized with Wen Yan and her son, and did not intend to understand what had happened to them, so she coldly spoke: “If you can’t leave the palace, how did you make your move on the Tutor Liang? Furthermore, there are experts protecting the inside and outside of Tutor Liang Palace, with your skills, it should be difficult for you to charge in, right? So who’s helping you? ”

Luo Yi paused for a while. “I found a strange pattern on your bed, but unfortunately, I have seen it back in the Northern Army.”

“You colluded with the Northern Army to harm our people. Am I right?”

Her voice was faint, attracting Wen Yan’s laughter. She did not say yes, nor did she say no, but only brought her head closer to Wen Yan and said: “You are also a monster, a cold-blooded and ruthless monster.”

Luo Yi ignored her and used Qing Luo’s strength to get up from the chair. Her voice was even colder than winter ice and snow, “I won’t kill you.”

Whether it is monsters or spies, the Li Kingdom’s imperial palace can only be owned by the Li Kingdom, the Northern Army will definitely not leave any traces behind here. ”

“And Chen Liyi …”

Luo Yi’s voice finally fluctuated at this moment, but she quickly took a deep breath and suppressed it. “He won’t grow into a monster.”

“I will personally teach him good and evil, and make him understand that this world is not the Chen family’s world, but the world of the people. I will also make him an enlightened ruler, and let this hopeless country in your mouth once again shine with life in his hands.”

“Not only is death called rebirth.”

She was not sure if Wen Yan could understand the last sentence, and maybe even if she could, she would look down on it. After all, in her eyes, this world was hell, with a layer of shame covering it.

But Luo Yi couldn’t think of that.

Chen Liyi was still so young, he shouldn’t have become a monster that came from the same blood as others because of these things, furthermore, he shouldn’t carry all the darkness of this world on his back and fall into hell.

Luo Yi’s eyes were burning hot, she stood on the stairs and looked up at the sky for a long time before continuing to walk.

She knew that Qing Luo’s words just now would reach that person’s ears word by word, so it was like a declaration of war.
