Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After two or three days of rest and under the care of Xiao Zuochen, Mr. Ying finally woke up again.

"How does it feel?"

Xiao Zuochen asked hurriedly, fearing that he would misunderstand Mr. Ying's meaning because he could not speak.

"water..."

Mr. Ying shouted a word in a hoarse voice. Seeing this, Xiao Zuochen hurriedly poured him a cup of tea. After Mr. Ying drank it in one breath, Xiao Zuochen poured him another cup. After drinking this cup, Mr. Ying spoke directly.

"Okay."

Although his voice was a little hoarse, Mr. Ying could still speak normally. Xiao Zuochen was also a little surprised. He thought Mr. Ying's voice had been destroyed by someone.

"Is it better, sir?"

"Ah."

Mr. Ying nodded vigorously. Perhaps only his head could move.

"Sir, what have you been through? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

Mr. Ying sighed, shook his head, and then suddenly looked at Xiao Zuochen, his eyes full of determination.

"I want to tell you something!"

"Sir, please speak."

Seeing Mr. Ying's serious expression, Xiao Zuochen couldn't help but sit up straighter.

"Your mother is trying to seize power and usurp the throne, and establish herself as the empress!"

Xiao Zuochen was silent for a while, and said calmly that he already knew.

"My mother led the remaining guards and Yanluo to Tai'an City to rescue me, and then sent Yunchi to bring me back. When I was rescued, Emperor Mingren should still be lying on the stone bed on the altar."

Mr. Ying heard this, but shook his head for some reason.

"Your mother didn't want to save you. She just wanted to control Emperor Mingren when he was not prepared. She also disagreed with sending troops to Tai'an City to rescue Chu Yao."

"But, but I'm there. Didn't mother agree because I was in danger..."

"I was ruined by your mother!"

Mr. Ying really couldn't stand Xiao Zuochen's self-deceiving words.

"The reason why your mother wanted to cripple me was because I asked her to save you! Because I wanted to keep you. You are her blood, and I watched you grow up. Naturally, I treat you as half a son. But my ideas were different from hers, so she turned me into a cripple and left me here to fend for myself. She was afraid that if I followed her to Tai'an City, she would send some people to save you, disrupting her plan!

But fortunately, fortunately you are fine, so your mother had to send someone to monitor you when you come back, because she was afraid that you would compete with her for the throne!"

"But I don't care about the position at all... For so many years, I have never fought for that position, and mother doesn't even know..."

Mr. Ying shook his head.

"She may not be unaware, but she is just on guard against you. You must have noticed the attitude of the people towards you now. You should know that these people were originally orphans picked up by your mother, and they naturally recognize her more in their hearts. She trained them to be independent guards and Yanluo, not for you, but for her original self.

Back then, she accidentally fell into Emperor Mingren's trap and had to stay in the palace. She sent a message saying that we should stay put and let her recuperate, but she never mentioned you. It was only when I later learned of your existence that I went to pick you up without telling her."

After hearing this, the light in Xiao Zuochen's eyes suddenly dimmed. It turned out that his mother not only didn't want to see him at the beginning, she must have heard from others in the palace that she was not having a good life at that time, but she still let herself fend for herself.

"Your mother has not seen you for a long time. She hates you very much. Do you know why?"

"Because she hates Emperor Mingren, my mother also hates me."

"Then do you know why she hates Emperor Mingren?"

"Because Emperor Mingren imprisoned her in the palace?"

Mr. Ying shook his head.

"Given Emperor Mingren's love for her, if your mother wants to leave the palace, he will definitely agree. The reason why your mother was imprisoned is because she disagrees. She doesn't want to become a tool for Emperor Mingren to breed offspring, because your mother's true identity is the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang!"

Xiao Zuochen was a little bit unbelievable. He always thought that his mother was just an ordinary Miao person, but he didn't expect that she was actually a saint!

Mr. Shadow continued.

"You already know the Three Magics of Miaojiang, right? They are forbidden magics that only the Holy Maidens of Miaojiang can use. Your mother used the reincarnation magic to live for more than a hundred years."

Lived for more than a hundred years?

This sentence made Xiao Zuochen feel like he was struck by lightning. What does it mean to have lived for more than a hundred years...

"But everything in the world is balanced. For every death, there is a life. That's why the three Miao techniques are called forbidden techniques."

"So, a long time ago, Mother began to kill innocent people?"

Xiao Zuochen couldn't quite believe it. In his heart, his mother had always been a fairy-like existence. She was imprisoned in Yun Garden by Emperor Mingren. She was a weak, pitiful and innocent person. But now his mother seemed to have nothing to do with these words.

Mr. Ying nodded after hearing what Xiao Zuochen said.

“But your mother used people who were seriously ill or had physical illnesses at the time, killing one person every ten years, so I thought that since their lives could be put to better use and they could be freed, it wouldn’t be considered a sin.

However, all this is based on the premise that your mother is still a virgin. If she is not, then the reincarnation technique will not be useful."

"It's not easy to use? That means it can still be used! I saw a lot of white bones under Yunyuan. Is it related to this technique?"

Mr. Ying was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open.

"It should be. After losing your virginity, the effect of this technique will be minimal. If you give birth to a child, you will age faster. So for your mother, you are the one who took away her ability. Your mother can only sacrifice a large number of lives to restore her strength and keep her face young. I told you before that I had trained a new Shura army. After your mother locked me in the secret room, she attacked them. They are strong and powerful lives. She can no longer distinguish between good and evil! She is only thinking about herself now! Cough~cough..."

Mr. Ying spoke a little excitedly, and Xiao Zuochen hurriedly helped him calm down.

"When the old gentleman comes back, I will ask him to treat Mr. Ying."

The old gentleman was the little man with white beard who had been treating Xiao Zuochen. After Xiao Zuochen went to Tai'an City, he wandered around and never came back. No one knew where he was now.

Mr. Ying waved his hand disapprovingly.

"My limbs are just like this, but my brain is still there, and the Shura Path is still there. Give me another ten years, cough cough~ I can train twelve, thirteen, or even eighteen guards. Ahem!"

"Alright alright..."

Xiao Zuochen helped Mr. Ying lie down straight and tucked in the corner of the quilt for him.

"...You should have a good rest first and don't think too much. Your health is the most important thing."

Mr. Ying also knew that it would take some time for his body to recover, so he nodded helplessly and closed his eyes to rest. Seeing that Mr. Ying was also obediently resting, Xiao Zuochen got up and left.
