The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

"Yue'er, you and I should never have been separated."

"you are mine."

"No one in this world can take you away from me."

"This is our home—"

Zong Zheng Qingyue was so frightened that he broke out in sweat.

Although she had some suspicions, she still couldn't believe that her dearest brother would actually have such unethical thoughts about her!

She knelt on the ground and repeatedly called out: "Brother!"

"The Queen Mother's spirit is still here."

"Please swear by the spirit of my mother that Yue'er will marry into the Daliang clan!"

"Yue'er is willing to share my brother's worries! I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities as a princess for the Great Chu."

"I am willing to become the princess of the marriage alliance between Daliang and Da Chu!"

Zong Zheng Langri was shocked at this and stood there stiffly and numbly.

He wanted to say: Don’t even think about it.

He wanted to say: Yue'er, are you going to leave your brother too?

However, he also knew that there was no better option than sending his most beloved sister to Daliang as a bride to stop the war on the border in Daliang.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at his sister in a daze, without reacting for half a day.

In the end, Zong Zheng Qingyue resolutely left Da Chu.

She knew that it was Xie Huaiyuan who betrayed her, and it was he who personally sent her to the bed in the cold palace.

She also knew that perhaps all he did was forced by Zong Zheng Langri.

Zong Zheng Langri wanted to make Zong Zheng Qingyue extremely disappointed in Xie Huaiyuan, and also wanted her to see clearly what kind of man he was who was not worthy of entrusting her life to.

She saw it.

However, what made Zong Zheng Qingyue even more sad was that she had never had a true and sincere love.

Even Zong Zheng Langri had only developed a perverted desire to possess her over the long years.

His brother might have died along with their mother.

After walking out of the cold palace, Zong Zheng Langri never really walked out of his own heart.

He locked himself forever in the cold palace where his mother died.

However, Zong Zheng Qingyue lived very soberly.

So before leaving, she asked the emperor for an imperial edict.

She wanted to lock Xie Huaiyuan up in Ningyuan Temple for eternity and never let him step out of the temple again.

This is the result that Xie Huaiyuan deserves.

After Zong Zheng Qingyue married into Daliang, her stunning appearance and gentle yet sober temperament quickly won the favor of Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan favored her so much that he never set foot in another concubine's bedroom for several years.

Even the Queen, when she went to answer the call on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, would only have a quick meal and then leave resolutely and cruelly.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the three thousand beauties in the harem, she was the only one favored by the emperor.

Even when Zong Zheng Qingyue sincerely asked Emperor Yan to visit other concubines more often, it still made Emperor Yan jealous, and he thought that she did not love him enough as a husband.

Zong Zheng Qingyue soon gave birth to a son under Emperor Yan's extreme love and protection.

This son was the fifth prince of Daliang, named Duan Rongshi.

In the following years, no other princes or even princesses were born in the palace.

Emperor Yan once said in person that after Xiaowu, all his offspring would be born from Concubine Yue's womb alone.

His partiality and favoritism made Concubine Yue think several times that she might have really found a true love.

Even though everyone in the palace hated her like a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

She also lived on thin ice, but in the end she finally felt what happiness was.

However, she soon witnessed once again the ruthlessness of the king.

Li Qingluo looked at Duan Rongshi and said, "You should know most of what happened later."

"Back then, the Queen secretly found someone to collude with Zong Zheng Zhiyuan and obtained Zong Zheng Langri's handwriting."

"The expert beside her imitated Zong Zheng Langri's handwriting and wrote several unforgettable letters to my mother."

"Later, all the dirty water was thrown on my mother."

Duan Rongshi's face was shrouded in shadow.

He was trying his best to control the intense emotions surging in his heart.

Li Qingluo could only hold his hand tightly and comfort him gently but firmly.

After a long pause, Duan Rongshi continued speaking as Li Qingluo had said.

He was talking about the truth about his mother's death that he had discovered in Daliang over the years.

"Duan Changyan sent people to Da Chu in the past."

"The results of the secret investigation among the people all revealed the story of the Emperor of Chu's crazy doting on my mother."

"Whether this is true or not, when we finally got to Daliang, it was confirmed that the brother and sister had been having an affair for a long time. It was undeniable."

"Duan Changyan felt humiliated in his extreme anger and hated his mother, whom he believed was already impure."

"So, he began to indulge and even acquiesce in the concubines in the palaces who had long resented my mother's monopoly of favors. Even the queen used these tricks on my mother."

"During that time, my mother was unreasonably punished by being made to kneel or stand in the rain all night. She copied forty-two volumes of scriptures, stayed up all night sewing robes, and even personally fished out the queen's fallen pearls from the lake in the dead of winter."

"These dirty and secretive methods are countless."

"Even, everyone can call my mother a shameless and disgusting slut because of those increasingly untrue rumors."

"My mother realized that the emperor's favor had come to an end, so she secretly arranged for the loyal servants who had accompanied her to Daliang to fake their deaths and leave the palace one by one."

"In order to keep the secret that they were all still alive, she had no choice but to have their tongues cut out."

"And I used all my remaining strength to protect this pure land of Guiyuan, hoping to leave it for me to remember in the future."

"My mother could only allow the entire harem to continue stuffing people into her Guifu Palace."

"Her abilities and means were truly limited. In the end, she exhausted all her efforts, and in order to protect my innocence, she ultimately did not escape the palace with the faked death."

"That year, during the full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubines from all the palaces seemed to have spontaneously come to my mother's Guifu Palace, carrying gifts."

"I was deliberately kept in the academy by Grand Tutor Su."

"By the time the Guifu Palace was engulfed in flames, my mother had already been completely murdered by them using various poisons, sharp blades, venomous snakes...several steel nails, and even other vile and sinister methods."

Duan Rongshi closed his eyes tightly.

There was a slight tremor in the voice.

He had never been so vulnerable.

It was just because he thought of his mother who gave birth to him, such a gentle, kind and determined mother, but suffered thousands of heart-wrenching pains in her lifetime.

Betrayed by those close to you and abandoned by those you love.

Those who loved her ended up hating her to the core.

He even tortured her to death with a knife in his own hands.

What crime did he commit to end up like this?

After a long time, he slowly opened his misty eyes and looked at Li Qingluo.

"Luo'er, is this the truth?"

"The entire Daliang harem, including Duan Changyan, the indifferent and unwilling Queen Mother, the Queen who fanned the flames and even framed my mother, Concubine De, Concubine Li, and Concubine Qi... every one of them is the true murderer who killed my mother."

"Am I right or wrong?"

Li Qingluo: "Yes."

"Why ask me again when you already know the answer?"

Duan Rongshi stared down the cliff with a cold aura of a knife: "So, when I return to Daliang one day, it will be the day when these people and their family forces will be completely destroyed."

However, right now, in this Great Chu, there is another person who deserves to die.
