Chapter 281 You Can Cry When You Have Laughed Enough

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Qin Chengyou's lips. He was now at the end of his strength and so weak that he didn't even have the strength to support himself.

But he didn't look panicked at all.

All the madness and craziness turned into calmness under the broken body.

For a moment, he turned back to the way he was when he first met Pei Lingyi. He looked haggard and old, and his eyes were no longer as clear and firm as when he was young.

Pei Lingyi asked: "What prophecy?"

She looked at Qin Chengyou lying on the bed, and felt extremely absurd in her heart.

Qin Chengyou's voice was hoarse, as if it contained gravel. "In his later years, the late emperor was obsessed with the mystical arts in order to achieve immortality. But he also asked the imperial teacher, if he could not achieve immortality, who in the royal family could sit on the throne and protect the Qin family's rule for eternity."

He chuckled, his laughter containing endless irony.

"The Imperial Master said, no one."

"You should know that your father fought with the late emperor to conquer the world, and he was one of the late emperor's most trusted people."

Pei Lingyi's mind flashed rapidly through memories of her father in her previous life.

Qin Chengyou stared at her closely, as if he wanted to engrave her firmly in his heart, but after a while he lowered his eyes.

"After you were born, the Imperial Master entered the General's Mansion and hanged himself the next day."

"Not long after, your father put down his heavy burden and took you away from the capital and went to the border."

Pei Lingyi understood the implication of Qin Chengyou's words, and her pupils shrank sharply, "But I am a woman."

She had never thought of sitting in that position, and this prophecy sounded particularly absurd to her.

Qin Chengyou suddenly laughed, and he did not stop even when he coughed up blood. "Jingjing, if you were a man, your father would not let you live."

Father Pei was loyal to his emperor and his country, and he had no intention of rebelling. It was only because Pei Lingyi was a girl that he could not bear it and raised her with a sense of luck.

However, as Pei Lingyi grew up, he became more and more nervous. Although she was a woman, she was not afraid of swords and swords, and her heart was strong. When she was young, she raised a gun, and the people around her laughed, and her words were full of arrogance and contempt.

At that time, Pei's father looked from afar and saw her small figure surrounded by people. At that age, she already knew the good and evil intentions of the people around her. The men at the border were all tall and strong, and she was not even as tall as a man's waist. She had two small braids and looked at them with her head held high.

Nor afraid.

She even smiled and asked them how she could become as good as them. With just a few words, she made the people who initially looked down on her and laughed at her start teaching her instead.

Maybe no one takes it seriously, they just think it's fun and it satisfies their interest in being a teacher.

With everyone teaching her a little, Pei Lingyi grew up quickly.

A few years later, Pei Lingyi began to fight with others frequently. She always lost at first, but she always got up quickly and ran back to figure out the reason for her failure. Even when she was ridiculed and scolded, she never showed any displeasure.

Father Pei initially thought that she had a good temper and didn't worry about anything.

Later I learned that she had a notebook in which she specifically recorded these people's names and what they said. After learning it, she would beat them back one by one, throwing the words they had said to insult her in their faces and making them lose all face.

Those with a bad mentality will collapse after one game.

Before long, he became a troublemaker known to everyone in the neighborhood. In those years, people often complained to Pei's father, pointing at his nose and scolding his adopted daughter as a shrew, saying that no one would want her in the future.

Pei's father originally wanted to convince people with reason, but if you are unreasonable, then he also knows a little about fighting. He closed the door and beat up the man's father.

The daughter beat the son, and he beat the father. It's only natural.

Father Pei had tried to stop her from learning these things countless times, wanting her to be like an ordinary woman, learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, marrying an ordinary man when she was of marriageable age, and living an ordinary life. If so, even if her husband's family was unreliable, he, as a father, could still support her for the rest of her life.

But there is no if.

The more he wanted to go in the opposite direction, the more he pushed his daughter onto the prophesied path.

When the prince ascended the throne and ordered the execution of the entire family on trumped-up charges, he knew he knew it.

He risked his life to beg Qin Chengyou. No matter how smart Pei Lingyi was, she was still a woman. Without her parents and relatives as a backer, she would never be able to sit on the throne.

He only asked the emperor to remember his past kindness. He did not ask for the throne of queen to be kept secure, but only asked for Pei Lingyi to be spared.

...

Qin Chengyou couldn't agree to that.

Pei Lingyi had worked with him for many years, and it took her several years to completely get into his heart, but she couldn't get his unconditional trust.

She knew him, and he knew her just as well.

If Pei Lingyi were to be spared, even if she were to be sent to a bitter and cold place, she might crawl out and seek revenge on him.

The hatred of killing an entire family will not be completely eliminated until you turn a blind eye to it even when you sleep at night.

Not to mention that Pei Lingyi is a vengeful and powerful person.

But Qin Chengyou accepted it that year.

He ordered Pei Lingyi's martial arts to be abolished, attempting to cut the tendons in her hands and feet, making her completely disabled and imprisoned by his side for eternity.

He was not the one who sent the poisoned wine.

Qin Chengyou's eyes dimmed and he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. It seemed that whether he said it or not, it would not change anything.

His love has too many impurities, and it would be a joke if he expressed it out loud.

When he learned about the prophecy, even if he didn't believe it, he would not have kept Pei Lingyi, even though she was a woman and there had never been a precedent of a woman ascending the throne before.

But he still made a choice. Perhaps he accepted the prophecy from the bottom of his heart. If Pei Lingyi was a man, even if she did not have Qin's blood in her body, she could have sat in this position if she wanted.

Everything he once admired would eventually become a sharp blade stabbing him.

Qin Chengyou's mind was a little confused by the pain and pain, and he imagined Pei Lingyi's appearance. That old immortal was quite capable, and he really got it right.

It is destined that even if you kill someone, God can give you a chance to resurrect.

How unfair.

Qin Chengyou thought of Yan Hen again, and inexplicably felt a little gloating. If Jing Jing ascended the throne, there would be no possibility of being with Yan Hen unless he was willing to enter the palace as a concubine.

Even if he was willing, Pei Lingyi would not be willing. As long as they sat in that position, everyone would be the same, they would become cold-blooded, suspicious, and greedy for power.

Qin Chengyou had a cold smile on his face. He was in hell, waiting for them. 】

After Li Wenshu finished typing, he set a timer to send it at 11:30. By this time, he must have finished his meal, bathed, and prepared everything, and he must have laughed enough.

Then you can start crying.

The ghost slowly moved to the front of the computer, and Li Wenshu looked at it, "Do you want to see it?"

[Is it cruel?]

[How cruel? ]
