Chapter 1160: The Taste of Revenge (Monthly Ticket Bonus)

The army collapsed, and the Bo King was forced into a desperate situation. He knew the Mou Kingdom would not leave him alive, so he simply committed suicide in front of Jin Bai, which could save him from suffering more and retain some dignity.

"Just suicide? Not slaughtered?" Consort Mei twisted her beautiful eyebrows, "It really was cheap for him, dying so painlessly!"

"Where is there perfect revenge?" He Lingchuan just said this sentence, and he thought of He Chunhua.

Over the past twenty years, how had He Chunhua calculated the hatred of his family's destruction in his heart?

Killing someone and then punishing their heart is the most extreme revenge. Consort Mei did exactly that.

"Yes, where is there perfection?" Consort Mei thought for a while, a long sigh, "Forget it, he collapsed along with the country he stole. This is what I wanted most."

She had endured humiliation for many years, wasn't it just for this moment? Looking at her expression, it was as if the air was filled with intoxicating sweetness.

Dong Rui couldn't help but ask: "How does revenge feel?"

"Good, very good. Ten times sweeter than honey!" Consort Mei was still immersed in this happiness, "The great joy of a perfect achievement, you can't understand at all!"

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at He Lingchuan: "You are not Mou Kingdom people either, right? Do you plan to kill me or take me back to the Mou Kingdom?"

She was the mastermind behind this series of events, causing the Mou Kingdom to lose its tribute. The Mou Kingdom's emperor shouldn't let her go, right?

"Your various actions are heinous and have implicated the innocent." He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, "You dared to make this plan, you must have considered this consequence in advance, right?"

"Of course." Consort Mei's lips curled slightly, a trace of madness appearing in her eyes, "Heaven is unfair, so I will fight for it myself! The current outcome is ten thousand times better than I imagined! Even if I am smashed to pieces at this moment, I will gladly accept it!"

She planted evil causes, so she was prepared to bear the evil consequences.

Everything was what she deserved.

She looked like she was ready to die, but her neck was raised, looking exceptionally beautiful and fair in the morning light.

He Lingchuan asked her back: "What were your original plans after the revenge was successful?"

"After success? Hmm—I hadn't thought about it before." Consort Mei frowned and thought for a long time, "I should go pay respects to my family, right? Tell them this good news."

"Where is your family buried?"

"The Great Mound west of the city." Consort Mei supported her chin with her hand, "Except for my sister. The day the family was destroyed was also her fifteenth birthday, and she was dragged away by two guards. They said, she was going to die anyway."

She spoke like this, using a quiet and gentle voice to say tragic content.

The two on the side were silent for a long time.

Dong Rui coughed: "Where were you at the time, how could you be spared?"

"It was my luck. A few days before, there was a storm, and a piece of the rockery at home collapsed. When the Feather Guards rushed into my house, my mother hid me in the rockery. The space there was cramped, only this big—" Consort Mei gestured, "—only one child could hide. I curled up in the rockery and didn't dare to breathe, watching the Feather Guards ransack my home and capture my family through a small hole. Thanks to them not setting a fire, otherwise I would have followed my father and mother long ago."

"Later, how did you become Consort Mei?"

"I hid in the rockery for four days before going out. My father had three sons and two daughters in total. Nangong Yan hadn't killed enough people, so he certainly wouldn't give up the search. So I hid in the carriage of another merchant caravan and escaped the country." Consort Mei's smile was a bit dim, "In the following years, I suffered enough. When You Enguang found me, there wasn't a single piece of good flesh on my body. My cultivation talent was poor, and only light-body skills could be learned well. You Enguang arranged for me to be trained in the Cixin Building, then sent to the western horse farm, so I could 'coincidentally meet' my father's killer. Hmm, you roughly know what happened later."

She skipped many details, but how a nine-year-old orphan survived, how she determined to take revenge, and how she put it into action—

This is the Glittering Gold Plain, the land abandoned by heaven, known for chaos and sorrow.

Adults have a hard time living here, let alone an orphan who has no one to rely on and can only be bullied.

What kind of suffering she endured and what kind of things she encountered, even Dong Rui didn't dare to think deeply.

"It's fine if you kill me or bind me back to the Mou Kingdom." Consort Mei looked up at He Lingchuan, whispering, "I have always been in purgatory. If I can seek a release from you... it's not bad."

He Lingchuan looked at her carefully for two moments before patting his sleeves and standing up, "Let's go."

Dong Rui asked: "Where to?"

"South."

To the south is the Bo capital, Xun City, and to the south is Giant Deer Port.

Half a day later, the sunset filled the sky.

The three rode horses, followed by the black wolf, and arrived at the Great Mound west of the city, also called the Gray Mound.

The soil here was grayish-white, so the graves built were mostly grayish-white.

The afterglow of the setting sun plated the long grass and tombstones with a layer of warm red, temporarily driving away the desolation here.

But the crows in the distance were not sensible and still used their hoarse voices to provide background sound here.

Dong Rui looked at He Lingchuan, secretly laughing in his heart: Heroes have a hard time passing the beauty's pass, this kid's heart is not made of iron.

He looked at Consort Mei and made small talk: "The person who reported your appearance on White Hill was a beggar in his forties, thin and black, with a mole on his neck. Do you recognize him?"

Consort Mei thought for a while: "A bit of a limp when walking?"

"Yes." Actually, Dong Rui didn't remember whether the person was originally limping or was kicked into a limp by the military leader later.

"That's a disaster victim." Consort Mei's face was normal, without a trace of resentment, "Every time I opened a shed for disaster relief, he would come, so he recognized me. I even saw him snatching steamed buns from other disaster victims."

"No good deed goes unpunished." The ghost ape cracked melon seeds while handing a few to its master, Dong Rui shook his head and refused, "Why did you open a shed for disaster relief?"

He had heard from Uncle Hao and the people of Xun City that Consort Mei often helped disaster victims, and he thought she used her own money.

Consort Mei glanced at him: "Do I look insane?"

The word "Yes" was on the tip of Dong Rui's tongue, and it was a close call.

But his expression already explained everything. Consort Mei said gloomily: "Everyone has a heart of compassion, and they were all helpless."

He Lingchuan suddenly said: "To provide disaster relief, you have to leave the palace, which makes it convenient for your actions, right?"

In the past two months, Consort Mei herself had done a lot of things and had to maintain contact with the rebels at the time and the new king now, so she had to find a suitable reason to leave the palace often.

Disaster relief is good. Why would the Bo King object to her accumulating merit for himself?

Although this old man didn't cultivate virtue, he knew that merit was a good thing.

Consort Mei pouted: "Do disaster relief and revenge conflict?"

Of course they don't conflict, why distinguish so clearly, right?

He Lingchuan smiled: "Where is the Mai family's grave?"
