The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 547 A Sanctimonious Hypocrite

Chi Hongfang came here with Jiang Feng, so they both had the same thing to say.

This matter is still related to the eldest princess.

Jiang Feng took out a box and when he opened it, he saw a chaotic bead lying quietly inside.

The reason why it is chaotic is that it is neither black, white, red nor blue. It is a mixture of gray and foggy colors. The more you look at it, the more you feel that this thing exudes an evil aura and is definitely not a good thing.

Jiang Feng said: "This is the soul bead of the eldest princess. The emperor gave it to me in order to force the soul of the eldest princess to tell the real cause of death of the second son-in-law. After the bead was sent to the Ministry of Justice, this government also sent people to invite the son-in-law's family. Because the emperor had said in advance that if the soul of the eldest princess did not tell the truth, she would be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, and her husband and unborn child would be sent to reunite with her. So she confessed quickly and directly admitted that she killed the son-in-law. She was fed a slow-acting poison, which tortured him to death over a few years.

The Prince Consort's family was very upset when they heard about this, and they were determined to fight the Princess to the death. But the Princess was already dead, so they didn't know where to vent their anger. The Emperor wanted the royal family to give an explanation to the Prince Consort's family. The Emperor also mentioned this matter at the morning court today, but they didn't know what kind of compensation to give. "

Chi Hongfang continued, "What the emperor meant is that no matter what, the eldest princess is a member of the royal family, so the royal family is indeed sorry for the prince consort. But the person is dead, and any compensation offered by the royal family on their own initiative would not seem sincere enough. It would be better to ask the prince consort's parents to propose it. In addition to promotion, everything else can be agreed to."

Ye Wenyan nodded when he heard this. "Although the emperor is young, he has grown up a lot after these few months of training. I am also relieved to hear that he can come up with compensation other than promotion. The matter between the eldest princess and the prince consort is a family matter after all, and family matters should be family matters. It should not be compensated with an official position in the court. Even if the prince consort's family does have an outstanding candidate for an official position, they should take the proper path of imperial examinations instead of taking a shortcut through such things."

She thought about it for a while, and then said to Jiang Feng, "Uncle Jiang, please go to the Prince Consort's house and tell them that although the dead cannot be resurrected, I will discuss with the Emperor to see if we can summon the Prince Consort's soul and choose a good family for him to be reborn in his next life. If the Prince Consort's soul is intact, I will try my best to arrange for them to meet again."

When she said this, she sighed softly, then looked at the chaotic bead in the box, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

She asked Quan Qianluo: "Do you regret it?"

The quiet bead finally moved, trembling slightly, but ultimately could not make any bigger movements.

She added, "You don't have to struggle. This box is forbidden. Even if you fight to the death, you can't get out of it. Quan Qianluo, I will talk to you for the last time. If you answer well, I will give you a good fortune in the next life. If you don't answer well, I will break your soul beads and disperse your soul. From now on, no matter in the world or hell, there will be no trace of you anymore."

The beads buzzed for a while, then became quiet again. Soon, the sound of Quan Qianluo crying softly was heard.

"I have nothing to regret," Quan Qianluo said. "From the moment I put on my wedding dress and joined the marriage team, I knew this was a road of no return. I heard my mother crying, and I also heard palace maids scolding her, saying that crying on a happy day was unlucky, would affect the country's fortunes, and would make my life even more difficult.

In fact, the King of Qiuhu was not very kind to me, otherwise I would not have waited so many years before I got pregnant. The reason why everyone thought that I had a deep relationship with the King of Qiuhu and his wife was because I had been creating an illusion and spreading the lie that I was very happy. I wanted my father to know that after marrying Qiuhu, I was a Qiuhu person, and I was in harmony with the King of Qiuhu and his wife. Once there was a dispute between the two countries, my heart would not be with Northern Qi. This was my revenge because my father abandoned me. "

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, "But your final choice was to take revenge on my father."

"Because he deserves it!" Quan Qianluo became excited. "Ye Wenyan, you don't know anything. You only know that I hate your father because he broke my Qiuhu and killed my husband, but you don't know that I have been holding on to him all these years because he is a hypocritical hypocrite from beginning to end! He killed my husband not for the country, he just wanted to vent his anger! He didn't come back to Beijing often for so many years, not for the country, because he was happier only when he lived in the border. Only by staying away from the people who knew him in Beijing, he could live differently from usual!"

Ye Wenyan was silent. Jiang Feng had handed the bead to her before she knew it. As Quan Qianluo was talking, the people in the room had quietly left. Only Zhuier was left beside her, but he was also surprised.

Ye Wenyan took a deep breath. Although all this was just a story about someone else's family to her, after being in the Ye family for so long, the people and things of this family had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and she couldn't get rid of them even if she wanted to.

"Tell me! How can he be so sanctimonious?" Her voice was calm, with only a hint of sadness. But it was not for herself, but for Mu Qianqiu who was still in the temple outside the city.

Quan Qingluo laughed again, and it was unclear whether she was laughing at Ye Wenyan or at herself.

She said to Ye Wenyan: "My life, whether it is sad or happy, including the final ending, has nothing to do with King Qiuhu. I don't have any feelings for him. I have never loved him, and he has never loved me. My union with him is nothing more than a cold marriage between countries. How could I sacrifice my life to avenge a husband who was married to me?

Everyone thinks that I am avenging the King of Qiuhu, but I am not. I am avenging myself and my dead child. Ye Wenyan, you don’t know that the child is not the King of Qiuhu’s, he is your biological brother, and he is the child I carried for your father!” Quan Qianluo’s voice became more and more shrill, and Zhuier had already closed the door of Xuming Hall.

"That year, Qiuhu suffered a severe drought, and there was no rain in the west for five consecutive months. We had no choice but to ask Northern Qi for help, hoping to open the border and provide resources for the people of Qiuhu. But your father disagreed and insisted on using a city in exchange for Northern Qi's supplies.

King Qiuhu negotiated with him personally, and I don’t know how they talked about it, but after all the talk, he sent me to your father and asked me to stay with him for a month.

Ye Wenyan, don't you think this is ridiculous? What's even more ridiculous is that I fell in love with him.

Maybe it's because we are both from Northern Qi! He was also an important general of the country and grew up in Lin'an. So we had more topics to talk about and many common memories to share. He even told me that if Qiuhu rebelled one day, he would lead his army to capture the capital, kill the king of Qiuhu, and bring me back to Lin'an intact. But Lin'an already had a wife at home, who gave birth to children for him and was filial to his parents. He couldn't let his wife down, so he had to make me a concubine.

I was touched at the time. I felt that I had been married before, and even if I was the eldest princess, I could not covet the position of the head lady of the first-rank general's mansion. What's more, I could bear the grievance of being the co-wife of my beloved.

We spent a month together, and he hid me very well during that month, in a house in a small border town. No one disturbed us, and no one knew that the queen of Qiuhu Kingdom lived in that house.

That was when I became pregnant with his child."

Quan Qianluo's voice trembled when he talked about these old stories.

"Ye Wenyan, do you think all this is ridiculous? The truth of the matter is something you haven't thought about, right? If you had known the truth earlier, would you still chase me and tell me all this? I didn't want to say it originally. I wanted to take this matter to my grave because I couldn't tolerate the fact that I was so stupid to fall in love with him and believe his lies. But if you insist on me telling it, then I will tell you everything.

Ye Wenyan, listen, King Qiuhu has never thought of rebelling, and he has never thought of occupying the territory of Northern Qi. He just wants to live his life in peace and protect his country. It was me who encouraged him to rebel. I told him that I was familiar with Northern Qi, I could draw a map of the mountains and rivers of Northern Qi, and I could even confuse General Ye who was guarding the border. As long as he can capture a city, the drought in Qiuhu will be alleviated, and we can get the rich resources of Northern Qi.

I told him that I hated Northern Qi because my father sent me to marry him and I would never forgive him in my life. He believed me, so he began to train troops and appoint generals, began to tear up the terms of the marriage, and began to break through the border and capture Northern Qi.

I was secretly delighted, because Qiuhu was no match for Northern Qi. King Qiuhu's ability to deploy troops was far inferior to your father's. It would be easy for your father to capture him. As long as he was captured, I could follow your father back to Northern Qi and live our own good life.

I even thought that after meeting your mother, I must be humble and not put on airs like a princess. In the future, our family will live in harmony. I will respect my parents-in-law together with her, and I will treat you children as my own. When I was thinking about these things, my husband was fighting outside, and I was eating bird's nest every day in the Qiuhu Palace, raising the child I was carrying with your father.

The child was very lively and would kick my belly when he was five months old. My husband knew that he was a father to someone else, but he couldn't say anything because he was the one who sent me there. He used that month to buy enough food for the Qiuhu people to eat for half a year.

I thought everything was so beautiful, but when your father finally led his troops to break through the gate of Qiuhu country, everything changed..."
