Chapter 337 - If You Are Hurt, I Am Ashamed!
Chapter 337 If You Are Hurt, I Am Ashamed!
“He is....” When Kuang Qingwu turned around, the soldier standing next to Kuang Shihan suddenly took out the cloth from his mouth. Kuang Shihan eagerly wanted to remind his son. But when he uttered two words, he was stopped by the soldier!
However, his uttering attracted Kuang Qingwu. Kuang Qingwu looked at him with indifferent eyes, which became complicated after a short while.
Holding Qiu Jinglan’s sword, Kuang Qingwu was still unable to decide to kill the next one.
One was his father who once abandoned him, but the other one was the man who loved him for so many years.
Qiu Jinglan smiled without urging and waited not far away, being full of dislike.
The north wind blew across the high platform. The wind was as strong as a knife. Kuang Qingwu’s forehead gradually had some cold sweat as his eyes were wandering between Kuang Shihan and Ren Ziyong. Finally, he slowly walked towards Ren Ziyong!
“After all, he is my son!” Kuang Shihan sighed in relief. He knew that even if his son chose this way, Qiu Jinglan wouldn’t let them go, nor would he allow Kuang Qingwu to kill Ren Ziyong. But it was better than that Kuang Qingwu chose to kill him, who was his father, but to let Ren Ziyong go, right?
His gaze followed Kuang Qingwu closely, but he saw him walking slowly to Ren Ziyong and stared at him for a long time. He was silent and motionless.
“I was blind to find Ren Ziyong’s ambition in the past. I thought he could assist my son. Well, my son must be very sad now!” Kuang Qingwu stared at Ren Ziyong and suddenly he knelt down and knocked his head to Ren Ziyong three times seriously. Kuang Shihan felt quite uncomfortable, “Ren Ziyong is such a vicious and treacherous person. Why are you doing this for him? You are too kind, my son!”
And then he felt sad again, “Does he treat me as his father at this moment?”
But this was not the saddest thing for him. Kuang Qingwu got up after kowtowing, but he didn’t want to kill Ren Ziyong. Instead, he looked at Ren Ziyong again and turned around resolutely, holding the sword and walking towards Kuang Shihan!
“How dare you!” Kuang Shihan looked at his son who looked indifferent. He was so scared and thought, “Why do you hate me so much that you want to kill me for a traitor. Even if you don’t know that he is a traitor now, I am the one who raises you up!”
Qiu Jinglan mocked. Until Kuang Qingwu closed his eyes and pierced Kuang Shihan’s chest with the sword did Kuang Shihan cough. The soldier took away the cloth in his mouth again!
Kuang Shihan opened his mouth and blood poured out, dripping down his beard. It quickly stained his clothes in the cold wind, but he didn’t say anything.
Kuang Qingwu had made a choice. If he let him know the true face of Ren Ziyong... Kuang Shihan thought sadly, “You’d better know nothing at all. I feel better in my mind. Let me love you last time!”
“A dutiful son is obliged to pay his father’s debts!” Kuang Qingwu’s face was pale and he said in a dumb voice as he seemed to perceive the immense resentment behind Kuang Shihan’s silence. “Qiu Jinglan will never let you go, no matter how good he says. Mr. Leshan is innocent. Since you and I must die, why let Mr. Leshan die with us?”
He thought that this explanation might make his father feel better. He still remembered that Kuang Shihan was his father and he didn’t hate him like that. He just didn’t want to let Mr. Leshan die with them. But Kuang Shihan felt sadder in his heart when he listened to these words!
Ren Ziyong’s identity was about to be revealed!
Kuang Qingwu could bear it now, so Qiu Jinglan would not give up another long-simmering blow!
“Get the hot soup. Mr. Leshan stayed in the wind for so long. Don’t let him catch a cold!” looking at Kuang Qingwu, Qiu Jinglan said with a smile. His tone was of concern. “You are really hard these years, Mr. Leshan. Today, I’m sorry to let you stay here for so long.”
“He abandoned his martial arts in order to deceive Kuang Shihan, so his body is not as good as before, but he enjoyed living in affluence these years. Therefore, he is strong enough.” Kuang Qingwu gave Kuang Shihan a fatal blow, so Ren Ziyong no longer pretended to be in a coma, letting Qiu Jinglan untie the ropes for himself. He got up, “It’s nothing. You don’t have to worry about me!”
When Kuang Shihan was dying, he closed his eyes with a sorrowful smile. He would be sad to see his son being crazy after the truth was revealed at this moment.
On the high platform, the wind howled.
Kuang Qingwu turned his head in horror and looked at the so-called “Mr. Leshan” who was held by Qiu Jinglan! Ren Ziyong ignored him but looked at Qiu Jinglan with a gentle and indulgent gaze and said in a good tone, “You have been working hard these days. Remember to keep yourself relax. Don’t get too tired of this. When Old Princess Lian handed you over to me, she told me to take good care of you. If you get hurt, I will be ashamed to see her in the future!”
His expression and words were showing favor from the elders. He said these words with boundless expectations and care. Kuang Qingwu never thought that Mr. Leshan who he regarded as his father and teacher would be so amiable!
At this moment, his world was changed in an instant!
When Qiu Jinglan revenged, there was something happened in Jing City, which was the imperial palace.
In a small kitchen of Beique Hall in Zishen Palace, Qiu Yelan was cooking helplessly, “I shouldn’t be soft-hearted at the beginning!”
She didn’t know if her cooking was really so good that made Emperor have a good appetite. Or it might be that Princess Yongfu really liked it. Or it might be that Emperor wanted to save the face of the Empress’s relative who did the cooking. This was the fifth time that Princess Yongfu called her to cook in the Palace!
“I’d better let Jiang Yashuang tell Empress. Let her arrange few concubines for Emperor. If so, he might not be so picky about food.” The dishes were done and Qiu Yelan rubbed her sour arm, letting the palace maids take out these dishes. She walked towards the side hall where she could take bath and change clothes. She thought angrily, “Princess Yongfu is so unlovable! Chunxiao would learn from me and cooked for her parents. She knows that she needs to learn cooking from me instead of calling me over to make it!”
She was ready to say goodbye to Empress Jiang. When she dressed up in the side hall and opened the door, Nijin ran over in a panic and took her arm. “Madame, come with me!”
“What’s the matter?” Nijin pulled her abruptly. Qiu Yelan was unprepared and she almost fell. She hurriedly stood firm and asked in surprise.
“Your Majesty is not well!” Nijin gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “It is said that he ate the food you cooked. Your Grace asked you to go over immediately!”
Qiu Yelan was shocked and became furious. She said, “It must be done by Empress Dowager Gu! I want to see what they did!”
Although there was a kitchen in the Fu Ning Palace where Emperor ever lived, Qiu Yelan used the small kitchen in the Empress’s Palace to cook for him to avoid suspicion. Inspections, food delivery, food tasting were all handled by the Empress’s maids. She didn’t care about anything except cooking. Empress Jiang’s impression of her was getting better and better during this period. Even if her impression was not good, Empress would not be so stupid to let anyone plant the crime of killing Emperor on her relative. Was there any difference from that the Jiang family was killing Emperor?
It was obvious that this was a thief shouting to catch a thief!
Qiu Yelan followed Nijin to the outside of Beique Hall and saw the carriage was prepared.
After entering the hall, Empress Jiang also thought that this was done by Empress Dowager Gu. “That old woman is like a cornered beast that will do something desperate! Don’t worry. I will seek justice for you!”
Empress looked cold and cruel. Although she had all kinds of resentment towards Empress Dowager Gu, she did not expect that Empress Dowager Gu would be cruel to kill her son!
Although Empress Jiang was very cruel to enemies and always treat enemies bad, she also valued her daughter Princess Yongfu very much! For people like Empress Jiang who regarded their children as their treasures, they hated Empress Dowager Gu, who sacrificed her own son for her own prosperity and wealth! They could go to the hell!
“What’s going on in Fu Ning Palace now? What’s Your Majesty’s health?” Although Qiu Yelan had a clear conscience, she dared not take it lightly. After all, this was obviously the final struggle of the Empress Dowager’s party. What couldn’t the Empress Dowager’s party do? So even though Empress Jiang gave her a guarantee, she hoped to know the specific information and thought about countermeasures for herself. “I remember that Yongfu is there, isn’t she?”
Empress Jiang asked Maid Lin to wear the crown for herself and said with a sneer, “It was Yongfu who managed to send the news! The old woman has blocked the news and she will not be willing to call us until all the civil and military officials arrive at Fu Ning Palace. I hope that the old woman will not be so stupid to do anything bad to Yongfu, otherwise, I won’t be happy with her even in the presence of the civil and military officials!”
Following the Empress’s carriage, Qiu Yelan arrived at Fun Ning Palace. Most of the officials had arrived outside the Palace, listening to Jiang Tianqi’s angry question, “Since Your Majesty ate the dishes prepared by Empress Jiang’s relative, why don’t they who made meals in the Empress’s Palace show up? Empress Dowager, the noble concubines and we arrived first. Where are Empress and her relative?”
“Humph!” Empress Dowager Gu was obviously older, but she still said coldly in her majestic voice, “What are you in a hurry for? Empress and Madame Qiu are in the Palace now. It doesn’t take much time to call them! The Jiang Family is powerful. If I don’t gather all the officials, nobody will know what happened to Your Majesty today.”
“This is really a big joke, mother!” Empress Jiang, who left the carriage just now, immediately started to fight when she raised her head and stepped into the hall. She said at the beginning, “If the Jiang family is so prominent that it can prevent the news from spreading, why did I come late? If your words are right, why do you and the Gu family come here so quickly?”
She glanced at Concubine Gu, who kept silent, standing beside the Empress Dowager Gu, and asked coldly, “You hardly come to Fu Ning Palace. Today, what a coincidence?”
