In the early spring of March, although the severe winter was almost over, the snow that fell the day before began to melt, and the temperature was still very low.
In the house of every master in the Qiwang mansion, the stove was burning vigorously, making the whole house very warm.
Except in the Youxin Pavilion, there is not a single charcoal fire or oil lamp.
In the huge hall, there is only a wooden bed, other than that, there is nothing else.
A woman was tied to a wooden bed, described as haggard. Her face was dirty, her hair was dry and condensed with a lot of filth, and she was skinny due to long-term malnutrition.
Apart from being wrapped in a piece of skin, there was no extra flesh on her body. The lower abdomen was high, and it was obvious that she had been pregnant for a long time.
Compared with the bulging belly and the skinny body, under the shadow of the dark snow, it looks eerier and eerier.
There was nothing in the woman's eye sockets, the eyeballs were actually gouged out, and only the corners of the eyes were left with dry and black blood, which made her face extremely terrifying.
It's just that even without her eyes, her hideous face revealed her resentment and hatred, making her look like a ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell.
"Qi Siyuan, I swear by the loyal and fierce soul of the Mu family from generation to generation, you will never die in this life, and there will never be a day of peace!"
"You and I were originally married couples, but you dote on your concubine and destroy your wife! There is no distinction between right and wrong, grievances are unclear, dig my eyes, and break my meridians!"
"I hate you! I hate you!"
The woman cursed bitterly, and the shrill cries echoed in the empty palace, making people shudder.
The door of the main hall was suddenly opened, and a woman in brocade walked in surrounded by them.
She took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and said with a tender smile.
"Sister is so angry, she doesn't look like she hasn't eaten for several days."
"Xie Wanyan! What are you doing here? You are not poisoned?" Mu Yuning said excitedly.
Because she was framed for poisoning Xie Wanyan, Qi Siyuan had her eyes gouged out and her meridians were broken, but Xie Wanyan was not poisoned!
"Of course, I'm not poisoned. My sister has been lying down for so many days, and she should be tired. Come on, help my sister up."
Xie Wanyan waved her handkerchief in disgust.
The guards standing next to each other glanced at each other and walked toward Mu Yuning with an ugly faces.
Before they came into contact with Mu Youning, they already smelled a strong smell of excrement.
The two resisted the urge to vomit, held their breath, and rudely put the person up.
Xie Wanyan looked at Mu Yuning's disgusting appearance, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes.
What about the noble birth, what about the general who was personally appointed by the emperor, now he is just a waste person who even the guards despise.
Xie Wanyan walked towards her and smiled softly, her voice was clear, not poisoned.
"Sister still don't understand? It's the prince who digs your eyes, it's the prince who ruins your martial arts and breaks your meridians, and it's the prince who says that I'm not poisoned. Forget it. Do you think that there is anything in the Qi Palace that can escape his eyes?"
"From the beginning to the end, it's not that I want you to die, it's the prince... that wants you to die."
"No! Impossible!"
Mu Youning wanted to struggle hard but was afraid of hurting the child in his stomach, so she could only shout with all her strength:
"Qi Siyuan, he wouldn't treat me like this, you're lying to me, you're lying to me !"
"Why deceive yourself, sister, you already knew that, didn't you? You are the Rakshasa general who is superpowerful, how can you not see it."
Xie Wanyan dismantled her lightly and penetrated into her heart, "By the way, sister, Good news for you."
"In these years, you have been dedicated to paving the way for the lord, and even threatened Old General Mu. Congratulations, your goal has been accomplished! Today is the day that the Lord will enter the East Palace. It's a pity that you didn't have the life to sit in the position of the crown princess"
"Sister, do you know what the lord did to make His Majesty's heart happy?"
Having said this, Xie Wanyan covered her lips and smiled, as if thinking of something funny:
"He broke his arm and gave it to His Majesty. The evidence that the Mu family is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has relieved His Majesty's serious concern."
Mu Yuning suddenly felt uneasy, and her breathing became rapid.
Xie Wanyan looked at her reaction with satisfaction but still felt that it was not enough, and continued,
"Tsk, Your Majesty was furious and announced in court that Mu's house was raided and executed, and the prince himself would supervise the beheading.
"So my sister, I'm here to give a gift to my sister. I hope my sister can see them for the last time."
"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible! The Mu family helped him so much, how could he do anything to the Mu family? I don't believe it! You are lying to me!"
Mu Yuning cried hysterically.
Xie Wanyan looked at her coldly and felt extremely happy in her heart.
"If elder sister doesn't believe it, then look at it." Xie Wanyan snorted coldly and clapped her hands.
A team of guards walked in with several wooden boxes, the bottom of the box was stained red with blood, and blood was still dripping down.
The guard opened the box and poured out the contents.
In an instant, the smell of blood filled the entire hall.
Several heads rolled out of the box, and above the heads, all eyes were round and staring, and they couldn't rest their eyes!
One of them happened to roll at Mu Yuning's feet.
Although Mu Yuning couldn't see it, she grew up on the battlefield and was most familiar with the smell of blood.
She swayed, and if she hadn't been held up, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.
"Release the princess."
Mu Yuning's knees softened and she fell to the ground. She shook her hands and picked up the head beside her feet.
She touched it with shaking hands until she touched a scar on her forehead, and she suddenly cried out in pain.
"AHHHHH!!!"
This is her father, the general of the township, Mu Feng!
The scar was left by Mu Feng on the battlefield to save her.
The desolate and desolate cry made the guards on the side couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
Mu Youning was so desperate in her heart that she wished she could die with Xie Wanyan!
She carefully placed the head in her hand on the ground, drew a knife from the waist of the guard beside her, jumped hard, and charged straight towards Xie Wanyan.
Everything happened too fast, and when everyone reacted, the tip of the knife in Mu Yuning's hand was already close to Xie Wanyan's heart.
At this moment, a dagger appeared out of thin air, pierced Mu Yuning's wrist, and pinned her directly to the ground.
It's Qi Siyuan!
"His Royal Highness, This concubine was scared to death."
Xie Wanyan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly threw herself into Qi Siyuan's arms, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Holding the beautiful woman, the coldness on Qi Siyuan's face dissipated a lot, and he gently comforted her.
Mu Yuning lay on the ground, the pain in her body was numb, but the hatred in her heart surged like a wave.
Thinking of her Mu family's loyalty and loyalty for generations, ended up being beheaded by the whole family, and now there is no one to restrain her bones.
And the man she had been thinking about and protecting with her life, not only killed her whole family but was also holding another woman in front of her, making out with her!
How could she not hate it! How can she not hate!
"Qi Siyuan, We've been husband and wife for three years, and I help you to fight and kill the enemy. You said that the time has not come and that you don't want children, so I kill two children in a row. You said that the support of the Xie family is very important, and you personally take a Concubine and prepare the dowry."
(T/N: she is saying she kill her own child twice because he didn't want to have children yet.)
"But in just half a year, just for this woman, you dig my eyes, cut off my meridians, and now kill my whole family! Qi Siyuan, you have the Gut! You have the Gut!!"
marrying you is only to get help from the Mu family. Everything you did was voluntary, so why blame me now. I let you keep your life, I have been benevolent and righteous. Qi Si frowned impatiently.
Xie Wanyan's eyes flashed a trace of resentment, she had done so much, just to let Mu Youning die, how could he keep her life.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this concubine's head hurts!"
Xie Wanyan covered her forehead, and winked at her maid Qingluo.."
Qingluo understood and said anxiously:
"His Royal Highness, the concubine was poisoned a few days ago and has not been cured yet, I am afraid that the poison has developed."
"Quick, Imperial Physician Xuan!" Qi Siyuan picked up Xie Wanyan and hurriedly said.
"His Royal Highness, the imperial physician said the solution before, but..."
Qingluo looked at Mu Yuning obscurely as she spoke.
"Speak!"
"Need...need the heart and blood of the queen!"
Qi Siyuan froze for a moment, then glanced at Mu Yuning on the ground.
Immediately, he handed Xie Wanyan to Qingluo and drew the dagger from his waist.
(T/N: So Cruel!! such a scumbag!!)
"No, no!! My lord, my child will be born in a month. Please, give me a month. When I give birth, I can dig out my heart and give it to her."
Mu Yuning struggled to escape, she couldn't move because her hands were firmly pinned to the ground. She was trembling all over and kept begging for mercy.
"This is what you owe to Wanyan."
Qi Siyuan said with pursed lips.
"No! Qi Siyuan, you killed my entire family, took my eyes, and now you won't even spare your own son? A tiger's poison doesn't eat its son!"
Qi Siyuan ignored her struggle, looked at her abdomen, and plunged the dagger in his hand viciously into her heart.
Mu Yuning trembled all over, grabbed his robe tightly, and begged: "Cut out the child, please... please!"
"Your Highness!"
Qingluo suddenly shouted eagerly.
Qi Siyuan came back to his senses, hurriedly handed the received blood to Qingluo, picked up Xie Wanyan, and left.
Mu Yuning's empty eyes stared at the backs of the two who were walking away from each other, and the hand that was always covering her stomach finally fell.
Qi Siyuan, Xie Wanyan! If there is an afterlife, I will make sure that you two will die a horrible death in order to avenge today's blood feud!
