Chapter 63 Begging for Mercy
“Auntie, we are not together today just to recall the past.
You should know who this person is, right? "Li Chengze said to Li Yunrui slowly, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"This person? I don't know him!" Li Yunrui shook his head gently, trying to cover up his inner fluctuations with denial.
"Auntie, why are you so stubborn? The outcome is already clear, wouldn't it be better to face it calmly?
My nephew doesn’t want to see you get the reputation of being a sore loser. "Li Chengze continued, his tone revealing helplessness and admonishment.
"It's good for both of us to save some face, isn't it?" He tried to persuade Li Yunrui with reason.
"If we wake up this assassin and ask him face to face who ordered him to assassinate me, are you really willing to make the situation so embarrassing in front of Wan'er?"
Li Chengze's words contained a threatening tone, and he looked directly at Li Yunrui.
At this time, although Lin Wan'er did not directly participate in the conversation, she had already guessed it from Li Chengze's words.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked with sobs and said to Fan Xian, "Fan Xian, I...I..."
She knew very well that taking advantage of Fan Xian's serious injury and loss of martial arts skills to assassinate him, such an act was actually done by her own mother, which made her heartbroken.
Coupled with her mother's various abnormal behaviors tonight, her doubts were confirmed.
"Wan'er, don't cry. Look, am I not doing well?" Fan Xian comforted Lin Waner gently, trying to ease her sadness.
"You said it was okay, you lost so much blood!"
Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian's clothes soaked in blood, tears still flowing uncontrollably.
"It's just that the movement was a little bigger just now, and the wound was opened a little more.
It looks scary, but it's actually not a big deal. "
Fan Xian continued to comfort him. Then he changed the topic, "Besides, this is what the eldest princess did and has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize for it."
Li Yunrui remained silent, but his eyes wandered between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although she was full of complex emotions and even deep hostility towards Fan Xian, as a mother, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and joy in her heart when she saw Fan Xian's sincere care and attention for Lin Wan'er.
"Fan Xian..." Lin Wan'er spoke with a trembling voice under Fan Xian's comfort. She hesitated as if every word carried a heavy weight.
"Wan'er, just say whatever you want to say. There is no need to hide anything between us."
Fan Xian encouraged her gently. He had already read Lin Wan'er's thoughts from her eyes.
"Fan Xian, I... I know I am in no position to make this request." Lin Waner finally mustered up the courage to look at Fan Xian with tears in her eyes, "But can you...
Can you let my mother go? She is my relative after all! "
"I don't want to see her hurt you, and I don't want to see you hurt her."
Lin Wan'er's tears kept falling like broken pearls. She almost begged Fan Xian.
"Wan'er, you don't have to be like this."
Fan Xian had mixed feelings in his heart. He understood Lin Wan'er's struggle and pain, but there were some things that he could not control alone.
However, when Li Yunrui saw his daughter like this, his anger and unwillingness suddenly burst out.
"Wan'er, you don't need him!"
She almost roared and said, "I decide my own life! Even if I die, I will not bow to Ye Qingmei's son!"
At this time, Li Yunrui had lost her previous calmness and pretense, and her eyes were full of madness and despair.
She no longer denied that what she did was just to vent her complicated emotions towards Ye Qingmei and her son in an almost hysterical way.
"It's really ridiculous and sad." The people on the side sighed secretly, "Both the aloof queen and the current Li Yunrui have endless jealousy towards Ye Qingmei deep in their hearts.
They were jealous that Ye Qingmei could win almost all of Emperor Qing's love, but they never thought that Ye Qingmei's tragedy was the conspiracy and calculation behind this love. "
"Once a woman's jealousy breaks out, it is like a scourge that cannot be contained."
Such thoughts quietly arise in everyone's mind, which makes people have a deeper understanding of the complexity and contradictions in human nature.
Seeing Li Yunrui's almost crazy expression, Li Chengze sighed secretly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Wan'er, for your sake, I am willing to let her go this time."
After a moment of silence, Fan Xian finally spoke, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"Really?" Lin Wan'er heard this and looked at Fan Xian in surprise, obviously not expecting him to agree so easily.
"Of course it's true." Fan Xian nodded, a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
He turned to look at Li Yunrui and said in a stern tone: "Li Yunrui, you should know that if things get serious this time, you will definitely die. But since Wan'er asked me, I will naturally give it to you. Her face."
"I can let you go this time, but you have to remember that this is your only chance. I, Fan Xian, am not the kind of person who lets people go at will."
There was unquestionable majesty in his words.
"This will never happen between us again." Fan Xian emphasized again, then turned to Lin Waner, "Wan'er, please advise her properly."
After saying this, Fan Xian and Li Chengze turned around and left, leaving Li Yunrui shouting frantically behind them: "Fan Xian, don't leave! Come back! Just kill me! I don't need your mercy." My life!"
However, Lin Wan'er held her tightly and begged her to stop talking.
Fan Xian and Li Chengze walked out of Li Yunrui's room without looking back, completely ignoring the commotion behind them.
However, when they just walked out of the room, before they could talk, a figure came into view under the moonlight. The man seemed to have been waiting for them to appear.
Seeing this figure, Li Chengze's heart was suddenly shocked - Emperor Qing!
Fan Xian and Li Chengze stopped at the same time. The sudden appearance of Emperor Qing in front of them made them feel a little nervous.
It's so late, why didn't Emperor Qing go to bed and show up here instead?
It seemed like he was waiting for them both?
"Your Majesty..." Although they were worried, Li Chengze and Fan Xian stepped forward and asked.
Emperor Qing did not respond, just turned around and walked away.
Fan Xian and Li Chengze naturally had no choice but to keep up.
A group of three people came to the edge of the Hanging Temple.
Standing next to the guardrail, they can take advantage of the moonlight and overlook the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers.
Emperor Qing brought Li Chengze and Fan Xian to this place with the best scenery, and seemed to want to have a few words with them here.
However, he suddenly remembered what happened when he was assassinated a few days ago. With the wide view here, wouldn't it be more convenient for others to assassinate him?
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing turned around, left here again, and walked into the main hall.
"Are you taking us around in circles in the middle of the night?" Li Chengze secretly complained, but what can be done? He could only follow Emperor Qing back to the main hall obediently.
"Sit down!" Emperor Qing waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, then calmly stretched out his hand to signal Li Chengze and the others to sit down.
After both of them sat down, Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian first and said slowly: "I didn't expect that you, a kid, would have such a big heart. I feel disappointed and relieved at the same time!"
"Ah? I wonder what your Majesty means...?" Hearing this, Fan Xian looked at Emperor Qing with some confusion and asked.
