Chapter 577: Luo'er threatens the tyrant? The tyrant kneels begging for forgiveness!

No one was in sight, and only then did the Chu emperor's face show a deep sorrow.

He knew he wouldn't live another two years anyway.

Over the years, his body had long been corroded and drained by the gu poison.

He also drowned himself in drink and revelry, his inner state worsening each day.

He knew his condition well; even if they let him live, he wouldn't last long.

But since Rongshi had placed great hopes in him, he would certainly prove to him that he was no mere foolish, incapable uncle!

He is, after all, Yue'er's child...

In the Chu emperor's heart, this child felt even more intimate than his own flesh and blood.

A smile appeared on the Chu emperor's face once more.

Rongshi is truly filial.

Moreover, he has grown up extraordinarily outstanding, and he harbors concern for the world, possessing great benevolence and righteousness.

He and Yue'er are truly alike.

Thinking of this, the Chu emperor's smile involuntarily carried a hint of relief.

His days seemed able to live again.

Outside, Li Qingluo watched Duan Rongshi's striding-away back and immediately hurried after him.

"Ah Shi."

Duan Rongshi stood in the courtyard, his whole body brimming with anger.

Only after Li Qingluo caught up did he walk forward again.

"I hope this decision won't make me regret it."

"You keep an eye on him; if he again flies into a blind rage and kills someone, you will execute him."

"But the senior sister said, as long as he takes the Witch Moon Sect's medicine, he will greatly improve in half a month, and his temperament will no longer be uncontrollably prone to sudden anger and irritability."

"Ah Shi, what you did is not wrong."

"Although the people of Chu all wish him dead, even if he died, Chu could not immediately become prosperous and strong."

"The karma he has created must be made up by himself; only then can the people's hearts have a chance to be revived."

Although Duan Rongshi and Li Qingluo are both people of DaLiang.

But during this half year in Chu, they saw that Chu's people were just as ordinary and kind as Liang's people.

Therefore, as long as the people of the world can live in peace and happiness.

As long as states can coexist peacefully.

As long as there is no war and the world can achieve great unity, they don't mind lending Chu a hand.

However, no one dares to serve the Chu emperor.

Que'er and Deng Mama, when mentioned, are all trembling with fear.

Li Qingluo then personally brought him food into the room.

Seeing him, the Chu emperor's mood was relatively calm; perhaps knowing she was his nephew's wife, he even felt a bit affectionate.

"That matter…… have you asked Rongshi about it for me?"

His hands restless, he rubbed them back and forth on the blanket.

"Which matter?"

"That was the condition I set for sparing your life; now, aren't you still not dead?"

The Chu emperor's expression stiffened.

Then it uncontrollably twisted.

Just as his anger was about to burst uncontrollably, perhaps thinking of her identity and means, he helplessly lowered his head.

"Alright, you may go out!"

"Seeing you makes me nauseous."

"What have I done to provoke you? Your life is still here only because I persuaded Ah Shi to spare you!"

"If not for knowing you once drew the heart's blood of the empress mother, do you think this damned tyrant could still be alive today?"

"You murderous maniac!"

The Chu emperor shouted angrily: "Get out of my sight!"

"You, a merchant's daughter, are clearly not worthy of Rongshi; tolerating you this long is already giving Rongshi ample face."

"If you dare offend me again, I will chop off your head!"

"Fine. Let Ah Shi know you want to kill his wife; see if he will first be greatly disappointed in you and then chop off your hands!"

"You——"

He was so angry he could barely breathe: "You dare threaten me?"

"What's the point of threatening you?"

"With this attitude, you still want to know the truth of that matter?"

"Keep dreaming!"

Having said that, Li Qingluo picked up the tray that had brought the food in and prepared to leave.

But the Chu emperor's expression changed drastically.

He rolled off the bed in a panic.

He stretched out his hand straight toward Li Qingluo: "Don't go——"

"I was wrong."

"I really was wrong."

I shouldn't have been so irritable and made you angry. Nephew's wife, I take back those nonsense words.

You are capable, your martial arts are strong, your business ability is also strong, you match Rong Shi perfectly; it was my shallow judgment that spoke wrongly.

Please forgive me!

So humble?

He is indeed an emperor!

At this moment, however, for his own words, he lowered his posture to the dust.

Li Qingluo turned her head in shock to see the Chu emperor lying in a sorry state on the ground.

For the news of his mother, he actually went to such lengths.

It turns out, his mother truly means that much to him!

She hesitated for a moment.

She still turned around and told him.

A Shi indeed stole the mother's remains from the Duan clan imperial mausoleum.

But he did not bring the mother's remains to Great Chu.

What was brought to Great Chu was merely an unclaimed corpse casually collected from a mass grave, left exposed in the wilderness for over a decade.

Originally I just wanted to deceive you.

But things changed and evolved to the present situation, so those remains have already been buried by him outside the village.

The Chu emperor seemed to have already anticipated the truth.

He anxiously asked: 'And what about Yue'er?'

I know, Rong Shi thinks I am not worthy to be buried in the same chamber as his mother.

But... but since the remains have been stolen from the Duan clan imperial mausoleum, does she not have no resting place?

Li Qingluo: 'Do you still need to worry about this?'

A Shi will take the opportunity to steal the mother's remains from the mausoleum, also feeling that the Duan clan is unworthy.

Anyway, after the mother's tragic death, even Emperor Yan deep down did not believe in her innocence, so he buried her hastily, in a remote location. However, for Rong Shi to act, it would be easy.

After carefully retrieving the mother's remains this time, he has already buried her in a place of birdsong and floral fragrance, with clear mountains and clear water, a auspicious feng shui spot.

He said.

If you are willing to strive hard to remedy past mistakes, and if you get the chance, I can take you to see the mother.

The Chu emperor's excited tears rolled down.

Really?

Did he really say that?

Li Qingluo nodded slightly.

Her gaze suddenly turned cold.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Zongzheng Langri, originally I and A Shi came to Great Chu just to kill you.

We originally planned to personally take your head.

But now we have broken our initial promise.

Hope you will not let him be disappointed and regretful again.

Zongzheng Langri heavily nodded: 'I know.'

Li Qingluo came out of Zongzheng Langri's room and saw a flash of Zongzheng Wuheng's silhouette at the courtyard gate.

When did he arrive?

But has he been eavesdropping outside for a while?

Li Qingluo immediately looked toward the dark corner.

Prince Su's mansion guards hurriedly jumped out.

Miss.

Because of her current status, the guards of Prince Su's mansion also just called her 'miss'.

Li Qingluo asked: 'When did he come over? What did he come to do?'

Guard: 'Miss, after you entered, this Zongzheng Wuheng also followed in.'

But he did not enter the courtyard, so your subordinates also did not dare to speak up.

He has been staring at this room's door from the courtyard gate, his eyes... gloomy cold and carrying some resentment; anyway, looking at him, there is no goodwill.

Li Qingluo: 'I understand, go down.'

The guard flashed and then disappeared again.

Li Qingluo quickly walked out of the courtyard; when Zheng Mama came looking for her, she then leaned in and whispered a few words.

Zheng Mama: 'Miss, this old servant understands.'

This old servant will go find Sect Leader Jingyun.

That evening, Zongzheng Wuheng watched as Jingyun and A Duo came over together, with no pleasant expression: 'What are you here for?'

Jingyun held a stack of porcelain bottles and said lightly: 'My and A Duo's revenge plan has already been completed.'

So, it's also time to leave.

Zongzheng Wuheng furrowed his brows: 'Do you want to return to MiaoJiang?'

A Duo nodded: 'Yes. I and my master still need to return to revive the sect.'

Thanks to the Sixth Prince, Your Highness's care and assistance these past days, since we are leaving, I and my master have discussed and plan to first lift the gu poison from Your Highness and myself.

Zongzheng Wuheng's face instantly filled with undisguised joy: 'Really?!'

You, you guys really willing to remove the gu poison from this prince's body?

His voice trembled slightly, and he was even a bit excited.

A Duo narrowed her eyes: "Your Highness, you won't kill me right away, will you?"

"Your Highness, I and my master can give you the next gu poison, and then we can give a second one when you are unaware."

"Your father the emperor, hasn't he also been tormented by gu poison for decades and still unable to undo it?"

Upon saying this, Zongzheng Wuxian's face darkened again.

"Enough!"

"This prince is not such an unfeeling and unjust person. These days, at least we have shared a roof."

"This prince understands your vengeful hatred."

"Since Zongzheng Wuxie is already dead, these grudges can all be written off."

"Hurry up and act, this prince doesn't want to remain bound by you; from now on we'll each go our separate ways. We'll have nothing to do with each other!"

He was about to regain his freedom.

No longer need to be held hostage by Li Qingluo as a pawn.

Just thinking of Li Qingluo, a deep hatred welled up in Zongzheng Wuxian's eyes.

I never expected that Li Wu would be Prince Su of DaLiang, Duan Rongshi!

He should have figured it out earlier!

What a nonsense live-in son-in-law.

Even her identity as a merchant's daughter is fake, let alone her husband's identity being genuine.

Qin Ling fell into their hands; since they could change Li Qingluo's face back then, why couldn't they change Duan Rongshi's face?

Clearly, his build is exactly the same!

And yet, having been misled by the news of Prince Su's death in battle, I never even thought of this!

Just thinking of this, Zongzheng Wuxian gritted his teeth in anger.

If there's blame to assign, blame them for being too vicious, and myself for being too stupid.

Now even the father emperor is about to be deceived by them, willingly letting them manipulate and use him.

A group of DaLiang people actually dared to run to their Great Chu to stir up trouble, and they've thrown the Zongzheng clan into utter chaos!

Zongzheng Wuxian absolutely cannot tolerate this.

Now they still want to control the father emperor as a puppet.

Duan Rongshi's ambition shouldn't be so blatant!

He wants to rescue the father emperor and make him understand what kind of wolfish ambition Duan Rongshi has.

A Duo and Jin Yin noticed the hatred in Zongzheng Wuxian's eyes, exchanged a glance, and stepped forward.

"Please, Sixth Prince, drink this vial of medicine."

"Otherwise, the gu worms won't be able to crawl out on their own."

Zongzheng Wuxian was somewhat doubtful, but he still took the vial and drank it all in one gulp.

Jin Yin then picked up his finger, made a cut, and placed the blood in a container.

In that container crawled a plump worm, the mother gu that A Duo had already extracted earlier.

Soon, the gu poison inside Zongzheng Wuxian was resolved.

Zongzheng Wuxian still couldn't believe it: "That simple?"

A Duo pinched her own waist hard.

"Any feeling left?"
