Book 12: Chapter 53: A Chess Piece in That Womanâs Hand
Yunqin Emperor Changsun Jinse had never fought against anyone before.
If he left Central Continent City, there would naturally be an army following him, a Great Consecrator following along. He had never revealed his own strength and cultivation before anyone.
However, everyone knew that Changsun Clan who had True Dragon lineage were cultivators with extremely good cultivation talent. Meanwhile, even though this delicate and pretty palace maid was already at the State Master peak level cultivation, before Yunqin Emperor Changsun Jinse, her aura was still clearly much inferior.
That was why Changsun Jinseâs cultivation was something that at the very least, the delicate and pretty palace maid understood well.
What appeared in Yunqin Emperorâs eyes and world of perception in this instant was naturally much greater than what a normal cultivator would perceive.
He could clearly see this delicate and pretty palace maid continuously coughing out blood, yet even so, her face carried a type of strange expression.
He saw quite a few guards and silver-armored soldiers currently rushing over, but they were immediately shouted to a stop by those officials who already deduced that this situation had been fully contained. A bit of careful searching was currently quickly unfolding.
There were Imperial Court Consecrators who appeared, starting to ask about some things.
Within this scene, the changes in expression of that silver-armored young Central Continent Guard officer who was a couple dozen steps in front of him seemed the most strange to him.
His eyes didnât gather on that delicate and pretty palace maid who was still coughing out blood, yet still didnât die, but rather on this young Central Continent young officer.
He naturally recognized all of the high ranking officers who could command armies within the Imperial City.
This Central Continent Guard young high ranking officer was surnamed Zhong, named Tiankuo. He was an outstanding talent among Central Continent Cityâs younger and middle-aged personnel, a future important talent for the royal court.
The most important thing was that he was the son of one of the nine senators, Zhong Mulinâs eldest son. Normally, he was someone who the emperor admired, so according to normal reasoning, this type of person naturally wouldnât do anything that would offend the emperorâs dignity at this type of time.
However, even when the emperorâs extremely overcast gaze landed on him, his head was still raised, and his gaze actually still didnât shift to the emperor, but rather behind the emperor.
At this moment, the only person behind the emperor was Yun Fei.
That was why Zhong Tiankuo, this young high ranking officer, could naturally only be looking at Yun Fei.
He absentmindedly looked at Yun Fei. He was actually beside himself before the son of heaven. Only when the other people around him released a low cough, did he snap out of his daze a bit, his expression pale as he lowered his head.
However, even if his complicated expression was ignored, just the fact that he looked straight at Yun Fei, at the emperorâs woman with fixed eyes, was already great disrespect!
âŠ
The world within a Sacred Expertâs field of view was entirely different from an ordinary personâs.
That was why in this instant, within Yunqin Emperorâs brain, countless colors even he himself didnât understand appeared, the toxins that entered his body already expelled. However, in this instant, the emperorâs body instead felt even colder than when he was poisoned just now. His hands also began to tremble uncontrollably.
He slowly turned around, looking at Yun Fei.
Yun Feiâs head was slightly hung, quiet, as if she didnât see his gaze.
His trembling hands began to shake even heavier. He slowly turned around again, looking at Zhong Tiankuo.
The cultivators around Zhong Tiankuo didnât understand why Zhong Tiankuo would lose his composure like this, they only felt like a type of atmosphere that made them feel uneasy appeared out of nowhere, pervading this place, making them feel exceptionally cold as well.
âGouge out his eyes.â
After Yunqin Emperor remained silent for a moment, he said this coldly and slowly.
Zhong Tiankuo couldnât help but clench his fists tightly, his face becoming snow-white. However, he didnât speak, nor did he raise his head.
The other cultivators at his side were flooded with coldness, momentarily hesitating as to whether they should obey Yunqin Emperorâs orders.
Yunqin Emperor didnât speak, his expression only becoming even more cold and fierce.
Zhong Tiankuo clenched his teeth, reaching out his hands, about to gouge out his own eyeballs.
However, right at this time, a voice sounded from behind Yunqin Emperor. âDonât.â
âDonât!â It was also at this moment that Zhong Tiankuo fiercely raised his head, also releasing this type of sound. His entire body even began to shake intensely.
The cultivators at his side didnât raise their heads, but they were greatly shaken inside.
Yunqin Emperor suddenly turned around, looking at Yun Fei. His expression also became incomparably pale.
Yun Fei looked at him. Just like during their usual chats, she said with a gentle pleading voice, âYour Majesty, letâs just have the remaining people leave first.â
The corners of Yunqin Emperorâs lips remained rigid for a long time, his voice much more strained and difficult compared to usual. âWait outside the Fragrance Palace.â
This order naturally didnât include Zhong Tiankuo.
Zhong Tiankuo stood there rigidly. The other cultivatorsâ entire bodies were soaked through in cold sweat, quickly retreating from this Fragrance Palace.
Yun Fei slowly knelt down.
The instant she knelt down, Zhong Tiankuoâs body shook fiercely again.
âThis matter has nothing to do with him.â Yun Fei looked at Yunqin Emperor, quietly saying, âHe didnât know about the situation.â
Yunqin Emperorâs face even began to warp. The instant Yun Fei spoke these words, his heart suddenly sunk, hitting rock bottom.
âIt was me who coveted riches, honor and your majestyâs care, which was why I seduced him.â Yun Fei looked at him, seriously saying, âHe doesnât know my identity. Even when I met him, it was only while dressed in the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, so he thought that I was only an ordinary palace maid. That is why all of the blame lies on me. If your majesty wishes to kill, then please kill me, it has nothing to do with him.â
Yunqin Emperorâs body shook even more heavily, but in that instant, he couldnât breathe, his entire chest starting to feel tearing pain.
At this time, Zhong Tiankuo who also already set his resolution fiercely raised his head, clenching his teeth and saying fiercely, âThis matter has nothing to do with Yun Fei, it only lies with meâŠâ
Boom!
Before he even finished speaking, a blast of thunder radiance flooded the space between him and Yunqin Emperor. His body was blasted out several meters, and then landed back on the ground.
Streaks of thumb thick lightning radiance coiled around Yunqin Emperor Changsun Jinseâs body. One hand gripped Yun Feiâs hand, his five fingers holding her fiercely, as if he was going to pick her up in this way, by gripping her head. Countless streaks of thunder radiance appeared and disappeared around his arm like streaks of golden snakes, as if they were about to devour Yun Feiâs face.
âYou all⊠how could you dareâŠâ Yunqin Emperorâs head rose and fell violently, his voice indescribably hoarse, completely unlike his usual voice.
Zhong Tiankuo coughed out a mouthful of blood, but he still stood up.
He looked at Yun Fei under Yunqin Emperorâs hands, his eyes filled with sadness.
Yunqin Emperorâs other hand reached out, a finger reaching forward, pointing at him from the distance. This finger was also continuously shaking.
âThis emperor only wishes to know one thing.â
Yunqin Emperor breathed with difficulty. He looked at Yun Fei who was right beside him, using all of his bodyâs strength in order to speak with a voice only he and Yun Fei could hear, saying with difficulty, âThe seed in your belly⊠is it mine, or is it his.â
Yun Fei revealed a hint of a smile, saying seriously with a gentle voice, âIf your majesty believes it is yours, then it is yours.â
Yunqin Emperorâs hand tightened, Yun Feiâs face also warped a bit. âEven at this type of time, you are still speaking these types of words. Could it be that you really think this emperor wonât kill you?â Yunqin Emperorâs expression was ashen, his hand still not letting go of her. Instead, he bent down, looking at her face while saying this slowly. When he thought about how this womanâs appearance and soft body that left him infatuated and reliant on had actually been toyed with obscenely by another man, that all the places around her body had already been wantonly pinched and played with by another man, that everything she had done with him had also been done with this other man, his rage became greater and greater, even more so making him lose control of his own emotions.
âYour majesty needs a crown prince.â
There was still no expression of pain to be seen from Yun Feiâs face, her voice still gentle and pleading, âWhether or not lightning can be produced, this is only secondary⊠The key lies in that your majesty needs someone to inherit the imperial position. The key lies in that the crown prince is of the Changsun Clan.â
Yunqin Emperor began to laugh.
His laugh was exceptionally strange and cold.
âSince this emperor normally listens to your opinions, do you now think that you can teach this emperor what to do?â Yunqin Emperor laughed, looking at her while saying, âThis emperor is still young⊠also, even if this emperor needs to consider your thoughts, even if I just grab any random child⊠donât tell me that I should allow the lowly sweat of another person to land on this emperorâs womanâs body, could it be that I have to tolerate the filth of another lowly person entering this emperorâs womanâs body?â
âAnyone who deceives this emperor, deceives this emperorâs emotions, will have to pay hundred fold the price!â Yunqin Emperorâs voice warped, exceptionally cold and fierce as he said, âThis emperor will ask you once more. The seed in your stomach, is it this emperorâs, or is this renegadeâs?! If you do not reply, I will immediately give the order to carry out an execution of death of a thousand cuts.â
Yun Fei also began to laugh.
âHe has merely seen my appearance, just the changes in his expression already made you think of all of this, that I wanted to deceive and cheat you, there is absolutely no way of overcoming your suspicion. You yourself have already even developed a lack of confidence in whether or not you could leave a seed within my body.â She laughed, looking at Yunqin Emperor as she said, âActually, from the words I spoke just now, you should have already heard the answer, yet you are now still just lying to yourself⊠in that case, I can tell you that it is his. The days are clear, it should be his, there is no exception.â
âVery good.â
Yunqin Emperor released a light cough, a hint of blood released from the corners of his lips. He began to laugh, his teeth exceptionally white, but there was blood all between his teeth, bright red in color. âThat is why if if there was no assassination attempt today, if this emperor didnât discover your relationship with him, Yunqin Emperorâs next emperor might be surnamed Zhong, being someone from Zhong Family.â
âYour majesty doesnât need to think about things too complicated.â Yun Fei looked at him and said, âThis is just my own matter. Moreover, I previously already spoke clearly with your majesty that it was just out of my own greed for wealth and your majestyâs doting, which was why I conspired this type of thing. A Central Continent Guard like him wouldnât have any chances of entering the inner court, so I felt like borrowing a seed from him was extremely safe. Who would have thought that today, there would be an assassin, that he would just happen to be in charge of the Central Continent Guards, rushing in, thus letting him see my appearance.â
âThis emperor has thought in a manner that is too complicated?â Yunqin Emperor laughed in a bitter manner, looking at her and shaking his head. âDo not forget that when this emperor chose you as an imperial concubine, it was because I felt like you didnât have any schemes at heart, that you didnât lust after vanity, that you didnât fawn over hypocrisy. Your nature was originally one of glory and splendor, you shouldnât care about these things at all. Yet now, you are saying that it was just because of status and wealth?â
Yun Fei remained silent for a moment, and then said quietly, âYour majesty, people change. Moreover, you can also see that he indeed doesnât know that I am the emperorâs woman.â
âHe doesnât know, but could it be that others donât either?â Yunqin Emperor said coldly by her ears, âThis emperor has obviously seen that you really like this traitor. Could it be that those old things wouldnât purposely arrange for this type of man to enter your eyes?â
Yun Fei gently said, âThis really is just my fault alone, your majesty can refuse to trust my words, but can it be that you donât even trust Elder Zhongâs words?â
Yunqin Emperor slowly straightened his waist, using his sleeves to wipe the bloodstains at the corners of his lips, coldly saying, âEven you have even deceived me, so who can this emperor still trust?â
âThis emperor has always maintained strict supervision over the womenâs rooms in the palace. Just when exactly did this type of thing happen with him?â He looked at his own toe tips, asking in a cold and quiet manner.
âThose days the crown prince died.â Yun Fei said slowly, âYou spent quite a bit of time in True Dragon Mountain. During that period, you didnât have much interest in monitoring us, so I often ordered some palace maids to change my clothes, and then secretly went out, going to many places I normally wouldnât be able to go to, also seeing many people I normally wouldnât be able to meet with.â
Yunqin Emperor became quiet, his expression not showing too many great changes. Even the golden lightning around his body completely disappeared. However, the aura around his body instead became even more sinister, as if there was a wave of death energy that was released from his body, the death energy absolutely horrifying.
Yun Fei laughed inwardly.
She had waited for all this time, played this type of game for so many years, and now, she finally waited for this type of result, finally seeing Yunqin Emperor become someone who was truly completely cut off from others.
She was extremely happy. However, when she saw the young man who was seriously injured by the emperor, but still stood back up, also seeing the gaze this man she used looked at her with, she now truly felt a bit of guilt, looking at him with true affection and saying, âSorry.â
Her gaze that carried true and sincere affection, in Zhong Tiankuoâs eyes, only brought this young Central Continent Guardâs heart even more piercing pain.
In his opinion, Yun Fei, this type of woman, was one who only showed a longing and sincere expression on the outside. Then, she encountered him at an unsuitable time, ultimately bringing about this type of bitter result. His heart pounded intensely continuously, âIt was me who used forceâŠâ He began to try and do anything to help Yun Fei out of this situation, help Yun Fei free herself from a bit of guilt, especially today⊠it was because he saw Yun Feiâs swelling abdomen, shocked to see the result of those nights of emotions in Yun Feiâs stomach, realizing that it was because he couldnât control his own emotions, that the emperor was able to instantly notice something. After all, he was a naive and innocent young man who didnât have much experience in the secular world. He still had a bit of extravagant hope in his heart, wishing to protect Yun Feiâs name, to protect his own child.
âShut your mouth!â
However, the instant his voice just sounded, Yunqin Emperorâs body already rose into the air. A streak of golden lightning flooded his field of view, crushing his tongue and blinding his eyes, making his body fly out heavily again. âThis emperor will make it so that you will plead for life but not obtain it, plead for death but not obtain it either!â
The tip of Yunqin Emperorâs toes trampled down on his body, crushing his crotch.
Yun Feiâs happy feeling, because of this scene, began to feel discomfort, the pain making it hard to breathe. However, she immediately began to laugh in self-mockery in grief, thinking that for someone who was about to die, these types of emotions really were senseless and unnecessary. The instant Yunqin Emperor turned around to look at her, she removed the jade hairpin from her head, and then in a calm and precise manner, pierced her own heart.
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
While blood gushed out from her stomach, forming a shocking red arrow of blood, Yunqin Emperor screamed out, frantically jumping out. Golden lightning rushed out like a tide, instantly devouring the bodies of those cultivators who were waiting outside the fragrance room.
âŠ
Meanwhile, in Wen Familyâs courtyard, Wen Xuanshu only calmly looked at the black and white chess game in front of him.
The birth of all matters had a reason behind them.
There was no hatred that was without a source, nor was there any hatred without a source.
Just like how Wenren Cangyueâs betrayal, in the beginning, was only because the nine senators rejected his request to take one of the positions behind the layers of curtains.
It was just like how the Divine Elephant Armyâs batch of military goods, if they entered Heavenfall Province militaryâs hands, it would make that Jiang Familyâs person have even more confidence in starting a rebellion that would affect the entire western situation.
An important Yunqin subject like him, if he wanted to rebel, wanted to scheme against the imperial throne, it was naturally not completely without reason. There naturally had to be an important reason that carried enough enticement for him, making him feel like it was well worth doing.
This reason, was precisely because of a woman who walked up to him many years ago and played a game of chess with him, telling him about many arrangements.
This woman was precisely Yun Fei who, in the eyes of Yunqin Emperor and the court counselors, was extremely ordinary.
However, only Wen Xuanshu knew who this woman who changed his entire life trajectory was., Her name, was Juliu Yunpin, from Juliu Clan.[1]
She was the last person from Juliu Clan. That was why from today forth, Juliu Clan would no longer exist in Yunqin. The revenge of Juliu Clan, would thus have no one left to carry it out.
âJuliu Clan has no one left, it is about time for Changsun Clan to end as wellâŠâ Wen Xuanshu quietly shook his head, placing a black piece on the chessboard.
