The other people in the hall had already left before Xiahou Qing opened his mouth. Only the two of them were left in this space where the doors and windows were tightly shut. They were like two dying beasts confronting each other.
Xiao Minglan looked like he was dead. His brain buzzed as if it had exploded. Before he could react, he had already pounced on Xiahou Qing with a ferocious face.
He shouted, he threatened, and he begged like a crazy beggar who had been driven to a dead end. "Ah ah ah — shut up!!! What nonsense are you talking about! You are a lunatic, a villain, and a devil! I warn you, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you! "
A full jar of wine was smashed in front of him. He grabbed a piece of broken porcelain and stabbed it at Xiahou Qing.
However, the alcohol and decadence of the past few days had hollowed him out. Before he could run a few steps, he had already fallen heavily to the ground. The broken porcelain in his palm had cut his palm, and the dazzling color had covered his entire hand and heart.
There was no light in the hall, but he still covered his face as if he was afraid of the light. His throat rolled and his snot and tears flowed down.
Some secrets were too dirty. He was prepared to take them to the grave rather than let a third person know. However, what he was afraid of would happen. This day still came.
He knelt on the ground and choked with sobs until he was exhausted. Finally, he moved an inch between his fingers and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who told you this secret? Who told you this secret!!!"
Finally, he pried open a corner of the clam shell. Xiahou Qing didn't feel happy. On the contrary, he felt an indescribable pity in his heart. Because the sad man in front of him was no different from him at this moment.
He replied, "No one told me, but Xiao Shu and I speculated about it from the details. Since the day His Majesty granted the marriage, you have been slowly showing your true colors. You and Great Elder Princess were supposed to be related by blood, but you became estranged at the age of sixteen. On the day of the marriage, you and Great Elder Princess resisted and left the banquet angrily. After deliberately making a scene in Xiangdi Mountain, you happened to reveal the hidden book in the belly of the fish. Within half a day, the bad news spread all over the capital city. After Xiaoshu and I investigated, we found that the owner of the oxcart that suddenly rushed out had been seen meeting with a proud female guest before the case. If my guess is correct, it should be Miss Hong Yan who is always by the prince's side.
At first, we felt that this answer was inconceivable, but when they were put together, no matter how inconceivable it was, it was the only answer. You didn't really want to kill Princess Rui. You just wanted to stop this marriage that shouldn't have gone on. Who would have thought that it would lead to such a tragedy? "
Originally, they were not prepared to reveal this secret, but at this point, he had no choice but to be a cold-blooded and heartless villain.
Xiao Minglan's tears finally seeped through the gaps between her fingers. Some things were too heavy. He endured it, suppressed it, and bit his lips with all his might. However, there would be a day when he couldn't take it anymore.
"You're right … I was the one who planned all of this. He Rui is indeed mine and Imperial Sister's …" He wept. His voice was intermittent, sounding even more sorrowful than an old beast on the verge of death. "Bastard, bastard! This is our retribution, the retribution for betraying Empress Zhou … "
In the calm after the great sorrow, Xiao Minglan's body was completely burned, leaving only a handful of ashes. He sat on the ground in a daze, revealing the embarrassing past bit by bit. At this moment, he didn't think about face, dignity, and vanity at all. All he could think about was kneeling in front of the Buddha and digging his heart out to ask and repent.
"At that time, we stood on her corpse and got everything. Now we have to return everything one by one, even more miserable than she was at that time. We deserved it. But why, why did it have to be like this … Rui, she didn't know anything. What did she do wrong?"
