Ye Zhen walked out of the house with Jin Shanshan and was about to return to her room when a maid came over and said that the Witch King had invited her.
This was the first time she had walked into the place where Qi Ruoshui lived. From the outside, the hall looked mysterious and majestic, but when she walked in, she found that it was gloomy inside, revealing a terrifying feeling.
"The Empress of Jin Kingdom is here."
As soon as Ye Zhen walked into the hall, she heard Wu Ming's low voice.
In the hall, in addition to Huangfu Chen and Qi Ruoshui, there was also a strange old woman sitting on a wooden armchair. She wore a black mink fur cloak, her face was deeply wrinkled, and it seemed that only her eyeballs could move.
Qi Ruoshui leaned lazily on the throne directly above. She didn't know what the throne was made of, but the armrests on both sides were made of fierce-looking Western Liang gods, and behind her was a Witch God with a big mouth and fangs. It was a strong contrast to Qi Ruoshui's delicate and beautiful image.
"Huangfu Chen, I don't have time to waste with you. She or Huangfu Chaoyang, you choose." Qi Ruoshui's voice sounded lazy and leisurely, but her eyes were cold. Not long ago, she received news from Donglai that Ye Yiqing was also leading troops to attack Western Liang. Donglai couldn't resist at all. If they didn't send reinforcements, they would soon conquer Donglai.
"Huangfu Chaoyang no longer exists. Why don't you believe it?" Huangfu Chen sighed softly. "Qi Ruoshui, you have been deceived by Huangfu Jilan."
Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen coldly. "So, you don't care about Lu Yaoyao's life or death?"
"No, I can't let her be hurt." Huangfu Chen whispered, "You suddenly have no patience at all. Is it because of the things in Donglai?"
"Since you know, you know very well what I want." Qi Ruoshui said.
Huangfu Chen sighed and said, "What you want is something that doesn't exist. You could have lived a more peaceful and comfortable life and didn't have to worry about who Western Liang would lose to. For so many years, Western Liang has never made enemies with any country. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't have been a war in the Wilderness and Donglai."
Even if Western Liang doesn't do anything, didn't Wan Ziliang take away two of our cities last year? "Qi Ruoshui said coldly," In this world, only the strong can survive. You are the legitimate heir of the Huangfu Clan. Huangfu Xiu once unified the world, and the entire world belonged to the Huangfu Clan. Now that the world is divided into five parts, it might not be long before the world is in chaos. You can bring peace to the world. You have such power and ability, but you don't do anything. Are you only satisfied when the world is in chaos and the corpses of the people are everywhere? "
Huangfu Chen said, "Even if the world was in chaos, it was caused by you. If the old dynasty really existed, why didn't Huangfu Jialan tell you? Why didn't he use the power of the old dynasty to get what he wanted?"
"He told me." Qi Ruoshui said in a deep voice.
Huang Fuchen looked at her with pity. "After you were brought to the Priest Hall, your relationship with Jiu Lan must be very bad. If I'm not wrong, he should hate you."
Qi Ruoshui's expression changed slightly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Seeing the change of expression on her face, Huangfu Chen knew that his guess was correct.
"It's just that Lan isn't an ambitious person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Priestess Hall with the Old Witch King for so many years." Huang Fuchen looked at the withered old woman beside him. "Do you hate the Old Witch King that much?"
Ye Zhen looked at the old woman in surprise. "She is Qian Luan?"
Qi Ruoshui narrowed her eyes and sat up straight. "Huangfu Chen, are you trying to say that Jilan lied to me?"
"You lied to him and caused him to spend the rest of his life in pain. How could he let you off so easily?" Huang Fuchen said, "He gave you a ridiculous dream before he died, and you really planned to sleep in it."
"You said that his last wish was fake, and the old dynasty he said was also fake!" Qi Ruoshui laughed. If it was all fake, then what she had done for so many years was just a joke! No, she didn't believe that it was fake.
Huang Fuchen said, "It's fake."
Qi Ruoshui smiled. "Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. Even if the power of the old dynasty doesn't exist, the surname Huangfu is still very useful. What you don't want to do, you can let others do it. Xi 'er's surname should be Huangfu. He is also an old member of the Huangfu Dynasty. As long as you, Mr. Huangfu, say a word, I believe there are many people in the world who will support him. Am I right, A' Chen?"
Ye Zhen, who had been listening quietly, looked up. Hearing Huangfu Chen's words just now, she thought that Qi Ruoshui was just bewitched by Huangfu Jilan for revenge, so she gave birth to an ambition that she shouldn't have. Hearing her words again, Ye Zhen understood that even without Huangfu Jilan, Qi Ruoshui was still a woman who was unwilling to be left alone. She would still stir up trouble in Western Liang and get everything she wanted by any means.
Qi Ruoshui was simply a madman.
Ye Zhen looked at Qian Luan. The legendary old witch king had not said a word so far. It seemed that he didn't know what to say.
"Only you can prove Xi 'er's lineage. I know someone is secretly contacting you and spreading Xi' er's identity. Let everyone know that he is a descendant of the Huangfu family, a descendant of you, Huangfu Chen. If you want to continue to delay, I will personally pour a bowl of safflower into Lu Yaoyao's mouth tomorrow." Qi Ruoshui said coldly, "I will do what I say. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Huangfu Chen looked at her angrily, "Qi Ruoshui!"
"You can go now. You only have three days. If you don't agree tomorrow, Lu Yaoyao will lose her child. On the second day, I will cut off her hands and feet, and on the third day, you can only collect her corpse." Qi Ruoshui said coldly.
"I promise you." Huangfu Chen replied without thinking, "If I promise you, can I send her back?"
Qi Ruoshui smiled, "When you do, she naturally doesn't need to stay in the priest's hall."
"Good." Huangfu Chen nodded and turned to look at Ye Zhen.
"Has she been here all this time?" Ye Zhen's attention was on Qian Luan. She did not turn around and leave, but pointed to Qi Ruoshui.
Qi Ruoshui smiled indifferently, "So what?"
"She is a lamp that has run out of oil. You don't let her lie down to rest, nor let her leave naturally. Why do you torture her like this?" Ye Zhen asked. Wasn't she Qian Luan's adopted daughter? What hatred made her treat Qian Luan like this?
"Lu Yaoyao, just because I won't kill you doesn't mean you can meddle in other people's business." Qi Ruoshui said coldly.
"You are retaliating because the person Huangfu Chen loves is her." Ye Zhen whispered, "You are terrible."
"Get lost!"
