Chapter 885: Wuqing's Thoughts, A Ruthless Decision (5/5, please subscribe)

The room was deathly silent.

Wuqing sat in her wheelchair, gazing out the window at the world outside.

A faint light filtered into the room, keeping it from being too dim.

She had been like this for several days now.

But since she had always been a woman of few words, no one in the Divine Martial Manor noticed anything amiss.

Wuqing had once said she would tell the Divine Marquis about the chat group, but that was a lie.

No, it couldn't really be called a lie.

When she said those words, she truly meant them.

However, the moment the chat ended and she returned to reality, another thought arose in her heart.

If she told the Divine Marquis the truth, then the dozens of lives lost in the Sheng family would have died for nothing.

"If my father truly was in the wrong, I would accept it!" Wuqing sneered inwardly. "But what happened back then was nothing more than a treacherous minister's plot. The Emperor was deceived by slander and had my entire clan executed. How could I not avenge such a great grudge?"

"Such a great grudge—how could I not avenge it?"

Having watched the Four Great Constables films, Wuqing naturally knew the truth.

In the original work, she had the heart to kill the Emperor, but never acted on it.

In the end, she chose forgiveness.

Now that she had the chat group, did she still need to swallow her pride and choose forgiveness?

"Besides, Emperor Huizong was the ruler who lost his kingdom. During his reign, he couldn't tell the loyal from the treacherous and heavily relied on villainous ministers. How could one serve such an Emperor loyally?"

Thinking of the humiliation of Jingkang, and the tragic sight of Bianliang's fall and the displaced commoners, the resolve in Wuqing's heart only hardened further.

She opened the chat group.

Wuqing: "@Zhao Kuangyin, Your Majesty the Great Ancestor, I am willing to contract my world's side to you. However, I want revenge."

Su Xiao: "Revenge? Didn't you not choose revenge in the original work?"

Hu Yifei: "In the original work, Wuqing was weak—could she have chosen revenge? Besides, films can't change history; there would never be a plot where Wuqing slaughters Emperor Huizong."

Ye Hei: "Indeed, the choice in the original work was likely made out of helplessness. You have to understand, that's the Emperor—not someone you can kill just because you want to. By the way, can Song Zu grant this?"

?

Lu Bu: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't grant it. Now that Miss Wuqing has the chat group, the Emperor is nothing more than a chicken to be slaughtered."

Wanwan: "Exactly. It doesn't matter if Song Zu disagrees. Whether Miss Wuqing takes matters into her own hands or seeks our help, either works. This young lady can meddle in this little affair."

Zhao Kuangyin: "How could I possibly disagree? Zhao Ji, that ruler who lost his kingdom—killing him would be perfect entertainment for everyone."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Good heavens, you really are decisive when it comes to killing your descendants."
