Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuochen calculated the time accurately. When the three groups of people almost reached the designated location, he had already reached the back cliff. The back cliff has a mountain on one side and the sea on the other side, and the remaining two sides are a straight road.

Before they reached the bottom of the cliff, they could already see a figure swaying in the distance. Xiao Zuochen did not stop, and continued to fly towards the newly built altar with Qingwu and Shanwu. There were more than a dozen people lying on the altar, among whom there happened to be a tied-up maid struggling. She was the maid who had just served Bai Qingning.

Concubine Yun was muttering something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone coming in the distance. The two secret guards beside her also noticed someone coming and immediately took alert.

Concubine Yun narrowed her eyes and saw that the person coming was Xiao Zuochen, followed by Qingwu and Shanwu. Seeing this, Concubine Yun couldn't help but reveal a hint of ridicule on her face. She thought that Xiao Zuochen dared to come to her because of these two guys.

"Anger Wu, Chi Wu, let the person in front come over. I'll leave Qing Wu and Shan Wu behind to you to deal with."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Concubine Yun first became regent, Chen Wu and Chi Wu had participated in the capture of Qing Wu and Shan Wu, but at that time they were not secret guards and were disliked by Concubine Yun for being clumsy. After six months of devilish training, they were no longer the same as before.

"Don't let me down again this time!"

Xiao Zuochen saw the two secret guards beside Concubine Yun running towards him, and was about to dodge, but he found that the two of them also bypassed him and attacked Qing Wushanwu behind him. Xiao Zuochen looked at his mother not far away, and he knew that this must be his mother's intention.

Concubine Yun just stood there, without any movement in her hands or any forbidden spells. She just watched Xiao Zuochen approach with a smile on her face, or rather, she just watched Xiao Zuochen approach with a mocking look on her face.

Until Xiao Zuochen was getting closer and closer to her, twenty meters, ten meters, eight meters, and when he was about to fall in front of her, Concubine Yun just raised her hand lightly and waved it, and blew Xiao Zuochen away who was still in the air.

Xiao Zuochen fell heavily to the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know martial arts and didn't know how much strength Concubine Yun used in that palm strike, but it was enough for him.

Xiao Zuochen stood up awkwardly, brushed off the dirt and dust on his body, and wiped the corners of his mouth. There was no disbelief on his face. Perhaps he had already expected that there would be a day like this, when he and his mother would stand on opposing sides.

"Mother, please stop."

Despite this, Xiao Zuochen still called her mother. But Concubine Yun did not show any mercy and slapped Xiao Zuochen again, knocking him to the side of the altar.

"Why do you want me to stop?!"

This time, Concubine Yun added some strength, and after Xiao Zuochen landed on the ground, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Zuochen endured the pain in his body, held on to the wall and forced himself to stand up. He stared at Concubine Xiang Yun and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Have you ever thought of me as your son? Even for a moment!"

Concubine Yun put her hands behind her back and spoke in an extremely cold tone.

"Of course."

When Xiao Zuochen heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he even wanted to step towards Concubine Yun with some excitement. But Concubine Yun's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"When I was trapped in Yunyuan, it was thanks to you that I rescued me. If you hadn't been so stupid as to think that I would love you because you are my son, I really wouldn't have been able to leave Yunyuan."

Xiao Zuochen was puzzled.

"Since mother doesn't want to live in Yunyuan, you can tell me in advance. I will definitely try my best to get you out. I know that you temporarily lost your internal strength because of the poison, but Yun Wei, Yun Feng and others can definitely protect you and leave Tai'an City!"

"What do you know!?"

Concubine Yun glared at Xiao Zuochen.

"I didn't lose my internal strength because of the poison, but because I was pregnant with you! It was because of giving birth to you that I lost all my internal strength. Without internal strength, I can't force the poison out. Even if I recover, it will not be half of my previous strength. All this is because of you!

So do you know how much I hate you? I wanted to kill you as soon as I woke up, but I was too weak to even get out of bed. When I was able to move freely, you already had Yun Wei by your side to protect you. You know what happened later, and I gave you a chance. Because you saved me from that hellhole, I let you stay in Wangyan City to save your life, but you dared to come back and hang around in front of me? You even hurt me! Do you still naively think that I will forgive you?"

After Concubine Yun finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out a long whip from her other sleeve with her hand that was originally behind her back, and hit Xiao Zuochen directly. Xiao Zuochen was unable to dodge, and the whip hit Xiao Zuochen's right arm.

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

At this time, Qingwu and Shanwu finally solved the two troubles. Just as they rushed towards Xiao Zuochen, they saw Xiao Zuochen spitting blood and being whipped again. The two of them couldn't help but speed up and rush over.

Concubine Yun frowned when she saw them coming over. She looked towards the place where Qing Wu and the others had fought. She saw Chen Wu and Chi Wu lying on the ground in extremely twisted postures, no longer breathing. Qing Wu and Shan Wu were also badly injured.

"What a waste!"

Concubine Yun cursed under her breath and casually raised her left hand. Qingwu and Shanwu were instantly hit by a powerful internal force and fell backwards.

"With your strength, you two dare to accompany a yellow-haired kid who doesn't know martial arts to die?"

Concubine Yun laughed mercilessly.

Goodness never talks back unwillingly.

"You old witch, you killed your husband and your son, you must die a miserable death!"

"Snapped--"

Concubine Yun hit Shanwu with a whip, as if to punish him.

"A lackey like you who only chooses his master to serve is worthy of teaching me a lesson? I am only punishing those who have harmed me. I am also merciful to let them reincarnate as soon as possible!"

"Snapped--"

Every time Concubine Yun finished a sentence, she would whip Qingwu or Shanwu. Even if she stopped talking, she didn't stop whipping.

The two of them crawled towards Xiao Zuochen bit by bit, under the whip of Concubine Yun. They didn't show any intention of stopping until their backs were covered in blood.

Xiao Zuochen was bleeding too much and his body was exhausted, so he slid down the side of the altar and sat down. He looked at Qingwu and Shanwu and shook his head to tell them not to crawl forward.

But Qingwu and Shanwu didn't know that if they didn't receive the whip, the whip would have fallen on His Royal Highness Prince Yun.

They held on like this until the two of them crawled to Xiao Zuochen, who knelt in front of them and stretched out his trembling hands to them.

Shan Wu wanted to say something, but he could no longer hold it in. He just opened his mouth and his hand, which was originally reaching out to Xiao Zuochen, instantly retreated.

Qingwu, who was standing aside, looked at Shanwu with his eyes closed. He felt shocked, unwilling, and angry. He clenched his fists and glared at Concubine Yun. If he didn't die today, he would take revenge one day!
