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

"Even though I already had a queen, concubines, princes and princesses at that time."

"But in my heart, seeing them is like seeing wooden stakes. I feel no emotion at all."

"If it weren't for the suffering my mother once endured, if it weren't for the grievances I myself suffered in my childhood, I wouldn't be willing to protect the little honor that the Queen and the Crown Prince have."

"In my heart, the only person I truly care about in this world is Yue'er!"

"So, I was confused and couldn't stand it anymore, so I threatened Xie Huaiyuan and asked him to send your mother to me personally."

"Although no serious mistake was made, it did drive your mother further and further away. She even swore in the name of the Queen Mother that she would leave Da Chu."

"Since she left, my condition has become increasingly serious."

"You often miss your mother so much that you start cutting yourself with a knife."

"Only the pain of being too clear can prevent me from doing something foolish that would harm your mother's reputation."

"I'm not a good person, I know that."

"But somehow my secret was discovered by the King of Qin."

"The King of Qin tricked your mother back."

"When I first saw your mother, I was naturally overjoyed. So even though I knew what the King of Qin was up to, I simply turned a blind eye and did not forcibly stop him."

"Perhaps I am still expecting something in my heart."

"So, I am really... sorry to your mother."

"Until I discovered that the King of Qin had a witch with him, and she was planning to cast a spell on your mother."

"At that time, many strange things had already happened in the court. Some ministers were suddenly and inexplicably exterminated, and even entire families died under strange circumstances. Therefore, I was also investigating the Miao border witchcraft incident at that time."

"After suspecting the King of Qin, I discovered that I had already shown signs of poison before I could apprehend him."

"At the time, I had a witch by my side who also came from Miaojiang. She was the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect and had always admired me, so I used her to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"She discovered the poison in my body, which will make me more and more irritable and angry day by day, and one day I will explode my head and die."

"I was frightened, but I couldn't act rashly."

"Because the mother Gu is in the hands of the witch beside the King of Qin."

"I originally planned to act secretly, but I was a step too late. Your mother was still ambushed by the King of Qin."

"The Saint of the Hehuan Sect said that the poison in Yue'er's body is the All-Love Poison. From now on, she will fall in love with every man she meets."

"Also, she will lose control of her emotions and become a slut at any time."

"That's my Yue'er."

"If she knew the truth, how painful would it be, how hard would it be to accept?"

"I know that when she wakes up, she will commit suicide to prevent herself from becoming something she herself cannot accept."

"Therefore, I have decided to save this matter no matter the cost!"

"I had the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect give your mother an acupuncture injection, which made her unconscious for a while."

"During this time, I devised a plan to capture the King of Qin in order to threaten the witch who was with him. It was the name you mentioned to the King of Qin on the mountain today—Zuliya."

"She was pregnant at the time."

"So, you are a little bit afraid and don't dare to push me too far."

"It's just that if you want to cure Yue'er of the poison, you must use the heart blood of her closest relative, the one with the closest blood relationship to her, to draw out the poisonous insect. And the person who bleeds her must swallow the insect himself."

"In this way, Yue'er will be safe and sound. And she will forget this memory."

"Yue'er's closest blood relatives in this world at that time were only me and her child—that is, you, Rongshi."

"But you were far away in Daliang, and I didn't have time to bring you over. So, I ignored the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect and asked her to personally collect half a bowl of my heart's blood for me."

"The poisonous insect was indeed successfully lured off Yue'er, but Zulia is also very cunning."

"Perhaps she knew I would settle accounts with them later, so she had already placed a binding poison on Yue'er and her."

"Even the Saint is helpless against this poison."

"Because it was Zulia who used her own hair, skin, and blood to feed the poisonous Gu to refine this extremely sinister and poisonous evil thing. If she dies, Yue'er will die."

"She is hurt, Yue'er is hurt."

"But if anything happened to Yue'er, she would be unharmed."

"I wanted to tear her apart, but I didn't dare to do it. I was really afraid that Yue'er would die because of this."

"Even I, at that time, was unable to get rid of the poison in my body."

"I have shed my heart's blood, and coupled with the poison these two vicious people had placed on me earlier, my temper has become increasingly uncontrollable."

"The Saint said that it was probably because I swallowed the Gu that Yue'er had drawn out of my body, and combined with the Gu inside me, the two kinds of Gu have been colliding within me over the years, constantly devouring my mind, causing my personality to become polarized."

"The most ruthless side will only get stronger."

"The most selfish and unbearable side will become more and more extreme."

"This has made me who I am today, cruel and inhumane, yet also cowardly and incompetent."

"I understand everything in my heart. I am no longer the Zong Zheng Langri of the past, but a monster tortured by poison!"

"If Yue'er and the Queen Mother knew I would become like this... they would definitely be disappointed."

"Over the years, I have become increasingly unable to control my rage for blood and murder, yet I dare not even kill the King of Qin. Because I... am also afraid of death."

"I'm afraid the Mother Gu is in his hands. If he dies, I will die too."

"I understand. I have long been a puppet in his hands. I didn't even know that this ruthless couple had exchanged their bastard for my princess."

"Later, I learned that I couldn't even leave the Nan'an Imperial City and the area within a hundred miles. Otherwise, the poisonous insects in my body would immediately burrow into my brain and cause me to die instantly."

"Now I hear that Zulia is dead, and the King of Qin and his son were also killed by you. You can be considered to have avenged Yue'er."

"It's a pity...I'm still alive."

"Rong Shi, this is my uncle's miserable life."

"Now I am still afraid of death... I am stupid and incompetent."

"It was I who completely destroyed the Great Chu."

"I am not worthy to be a king. I am not worthy to be your uncle, nor am I worthy to be Yue'er's brother."

"I should have died long ago."

"just kill me."

After saying this, Zong Zheng Langri raised his head with a dead heart, waiting for Duan Rongshi to personally slit his throat and kill him.

However, after hearing what Zong Zheng Langri said, Duan Rongshi suddenly took a few steps back.

Then he turned around quickly and strode away.

Li Qingluo did not catch up immediately.

Instead, he stared at Emperor Chu and asked, "Is everything you said true?"

Zong Zheng Langri was no longer able to argue with her.

He simply said, "If I lie about even one word, I will never see the moon in the underworld after I die!"

Li Qingluo looked at him with an indescribable expression.

I thought to myself: You couldn’t see it in the first place!

I'm afraid my mother has already left the underworld and is living a truly carefree life.

But after knowing the inside story of how Zong Zheng Langri became what he is now, Li Qingluo felt quite complicated.

For a moment, I really didn't know how to kill again.

"So, the Queen Mother doesn't know what you did for her?"

Zong Zheng Langri shook his head.

"Why should she know?"

"This is what I, as her brother, should do for her."

"But I never thought that I would end up killing her!"

"I didn't dare to leave her in Da Chu at the beginning, because I realized at that time that Da Chu was about to rot completely."

"But after hearing the tragic news, I still couldn't believe it. She left this world like this. From now on, we are separated by the Yin and Yang!"

"And I was so cowardly back then that I didn't even dare to declare war on Daliang to seek justice for Yue'er!"

"Even since then, I have started having nightmares every night."

"In that studio, all the portraits of Yue'er you saw were drawn every time I woke up from a nightmare."

"Only when I see her face can my heart calm down and I feel like I am still alive."

"I know I'm nothing."

"I developed such strong feelings for my own biological sister."

"But I don't know how to control it. Perhaps I was born a monster."

Li Qingluo shook his head.

It is a lament for the life of the Emperor of Chu.

"Then let me ask you, what about the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect you mentioned?"

"Why is there no such person by your side now?"

"Did you kill her?"

Zong Zheng glanced at Li Qingluo brightly.

"I am cruel and cold-blooded, but there are only a few people in this world who are sincere to me."

"Back then, she was considered one."

"Even if I have no humanity, I still covet that bit of sincerity. How could I kill her?"

"She said she would go find a way to relieve my pain and cure the poison. So, she left Da Chu."

"But once she left, there was no news of her and she never came back."

"I also sent people out to look for her, but they said she didn't return to Miaojiang that year, but went to the Western Regions."

"But no matter how hard we searched, there was no news of her."

Li Qingluo: "Perhaps she was afraid you would kill her to silence her, so she took the opportunity to leave?"

Zong Zheng Langri gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't speak, you can just shut up!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"Since the sword is in your hand, kill me for Rong Shi!"

"But before I die, I still want to know one thing, so I beg you... to ask Rong Shi for clarification."

Li Qing found Duan Rongshi by the dark river in the innermost area.

She walked over quickly and called softly, "Ashi?"

Duan Rongshi suddenly woke up.

He turned to look at Li Qingluo behind him: "Luo'er, if the Queen Mother knew what he did for her back then, would she still hate him?"
