Chapter 561 Blood is Dirty

With her face covered in blood, Concubine Li could no longer sit still and fell back to the ground. Her face touched the ground, and her sleeves covered her head tightly, refusing to raise her head at all.

Yunsheng didn't urge her, and continued to kneel with the dagger in hand. She had waited for ten years, and was not in a hurry for this moment. Although Concubine Li had lost a lot of blood, she would not die for a while. She just wanted to see if this mother could say something human to her son at the last moment, even if it was just an apology, so that it would not be in vain that she had been guarding her in Luoyun Village for ten years.

Unfortunately, Concubine Li didn't say a word and just lay on the ground pretending to be dead. Quan Qingyun was worried and wanted to go over to take a look, but he heard Yunsheng say, "Don't go over there, Third Prince. Don't worry, she won't die. On the contrary, if you go over there, things may become more complicated. No one knows her better than me. If you go over there, she will regard you as her last straw. Even if she is already in such a mess, she will still do her best to wink at you, or even throw herself into your arms. She doesn't care who you are. Flirting with men is something she is used to doing in her life. It has become her instinct. So stay away and don't get yourself into trouble."

Quan Qingyun stopped walking, and Quan Qinghua's face became even uglier.

Yunsheng kowtowed to him and said, "Qinghua, today's situation is not what I expected. Over the years, I have imagined countless times that we would meet again, but it was not like this. Qinghua, don't worry, I will do all the bad things. I am not helping you, I am avenging my mother. Just consider it as helping me, okay?"

Quan Qinghua didn't say anything, he didn't know whether it was good or bad. He knew what Yunsheng was going to do, he even did the same thing, but unfortunately it didn't work. He squatted down, right in front of Concubine Li, he said to her: "Look up at me, don't act crazy, let's talk for the last time. It's been ten years, I have come back from Guiyue, don't you have to give me an explanation for some things?" Concubine Li, who was lying on the ground, shivered obviously, as if she was touched, but she still refused to raise her head.

Quan Qinghua laughed, "Are you afraid to face me, or do you feel embarrassed to face me because you look too embarrassed? I am your son, not another man. You don't need to hide anything in front of me, and I won't feel disgusted with you just because of your embarrassed look. So you don't have to care too much about your face. Lift it up so I can see you. We haven't seen each other for ten years, and maybe we won't see each other again in the future. I have to remember what you look like at this moment, so that I can remember you if I miss you in the future."

The man lying on his stomach finally spoke, no longer acting crazy or singing, and asked him seriously, "Will you still miss me?"

Quan Qinghua also answered seriously: "Yes."

She was puzzled, "Why? You hate me so much, I make you unable to hold your head up, you wish I were dead, why do you say you miss me?"

He said: "Because you gave birth to me, at least before I was five or six years old, you were still a qualified mother in my heart. Although this qualification was only because I was young and ignorant, and because you were not that bold yet."

He reached out and touched Concubine Li's head. There was blood on her hair, but he could still feel the soft hair.

It can be seen that Yunsheng took good care of her over the years, and even though he hated her so much, he still fulfilled his duties as a servant.

He could understand Yunsheng very well. She had taken care of a master who had caused his mother's death for ten years. These ten years of suffering were enough to turn a young girl into a resentful woman, and to shatter all her hopes for the future.

After ten years of seclusion, he could hardly recognize the daughter of his wet nurse when they met again today. Ten years of polishing made Yunsheng look a little old. She was only a month older than him, but she seemed five or six years older.

"Who do you think you can be worthy of?" Quan Qinghua's voice was full of bitterness. "Your own son, the wet nurse who took care of your son, the wet nurse's daughter, and your father who has passed away, who can you be worthy of? All these years I have been unable to understand why you did those things. I even thought that it was because your father had let you down and hurt your heart, so you deliberately took revenge. But your father did not do anything. All his actions were normal as an emperor. He did not cross the line or act out of line, let alone being worthy of you.

Later I thought, maybe you were forced to marry into the palace, or maybe you already had a lover when you were at your parents' home, so after entering the palace you gave birth to me, your child, with a man you didn't like. You didn't love him or me, and slowly began to give up on yourself.

I also thought that it is possible that you have a disease that causes you to become confused and uncontrollable at some point in your life.

You see, I have found so many reasons for you, just to convince myself not to hate you, and to convince myself that you did not do it voluntarily, and that you are not that kind of person. It's not that you don't like me, you just don't like me who was born to you and your father.

Unfortunately, I failed. Ten years have passed, and so many reasons have been overturned one after another. I heard more and more about you, and even the eunuchs in the palace were not spared. Later, I heard that the fire in the cold palace did not burn you to death, and you were saved by my third brother. That year was my fifth year in Guiyue. When the news came, I was being dragged by Princess Zhaolian to accompany her to break the ice and fish. I thought I had gradually forgotten the past. I was already very good at deceiving myself. As long as I didn't mention it, no one would know my past. But when that news came, I was instantly back to square one. "

Every word he spoke was filled with despair, and every sentence he uttered was filled with endless sorrow.

Hu Zi seemed to understand something. He took a few steps forward and stood beside him silently.

Quan Qinghua then said to Concubine Li: "I spent three years in Guiyue being beaten and ostracized, and also spent five years forgetting the past and becoming a new person. But when I knew that you were saved by my third brother, those five years became a self-deceiving scam.

I stubbornly believed that Third Brother saved you to contain me, so for the next five years, I was preparing for the same thing, which was how to deal with Third Brother! This preparation changed from passive at the beginning to active later, and then later, even I couldn't tell whether the initial hatred came from you or from him.

It should be from you! If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be anything like what happened later. If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been implicated by you and sent to the moon. My life as a proton is like hell. Anyone can step on my head. I used to have a proud character, but in the end, I was just a wreck. I seem to be dead, but I still miss you. I have to drag you to hell with me."

Concubine Li raised her head suddenly, her face full of horror, "You want to kill me? I'm your mother, how could you kill me? Just now you said you would miss me, how could a murderer miss the person he killed? How could I give birth to a beast like you!"

She began to curse endlessly, using the most vicious words in the world to her son who was closest to her by blood. At this moment, even Quan Qingyun began to doubt whether he had saved the wrong person. Is this still Concubine Li? How could there be such a mother in the world?

But when I thought of this, my heart skipped a beat, and then I felt relieved.

How could there not be one? Isn't that the case with Ye Feizhou's parents? So, even biological parents in this world are not necessarily reliable. It is better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth. Only when you are strong can you live the life you want and protect the people you want to protect. No one else can be counted on.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Concubine Li finally got tired of scolding. Perhaps it was because the three stabs from Yunsheng were too painful, so she lay back on the ground, gasping for breath.

Yunsheng smiled, as if he was used to such scenes. He did not go forward to check on Concubine Li's injuries, but just said to Quan Qinghua: "It is useless to refuse to repent. I have said all kinds of things in the past ten years. I have appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, and I have quarreled, scolded, and even beaten her, but she is still the same. She always thinks that she is right and that no one can control how she wants to live. I told her that if you want to be a womanizer, no one can stop you. If you have this ambition, why did you enter the palace?

Guess what she said?" She looked at Quan Qinghua, her smile still bitter, "She said that brothels are aboveboard and boring. A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal. She likes stealing, that's more interesting, and it can prove her charm.

I really feel sorry for the late emperor, for making such a woman his concubine. She has really brought shame to the royal family."

Yunsheng endured deep hatred and served Concubine Li for ten years. She had waited for this day for so long that she really didn't want to show Concubine Li any mercy. She felt that she had to say everything she should say today and kill everyone she should kill. When it all ended, her life would be over. She had lived enough. She didn't know if she could see her mother again if she went to the underworld now. It would be too late.

Quan Qinghua was still half-kneeling on the ground, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or sad. His emotions were much calmer than before.

He reached out and touched his face, muttering, "If my face wasn't so similar to the Quan family, I would definitely doubt whether I was the son of my father." He turned around and looked at Hu Zi and asked, "Do you understand?"

Hu Zi nodded, "I understand. You are the prince, and she is the imperial concubine, but she is just like my mother, restless and always thinking about people other than your father. It seems that someone exposed her, and then implicated you, causing you to suffer a lot."

"Yes." Quan Qinghua nodded. "That's right. That's what I meant. Because of her, I was sent to another country as a hostage. Do you know what a hostage means? A hostage is a person who holds me hostage. Northern Qi will not attack that country if I am held hostage there. I don't know who spread the news of her deeds to the country where I was a hostage. For ten years, I couldn't hold my head up. Until now, I still feel that the blood in my body is dirty."

He lowered his head, and a tear fell unexpectedly...
