Chapter 258: The Truth

peror!Su Qingying silently lit a candle for Zhao Tianqi, who was poor and wanted to borrow money, in her heart. However, this demon was truly wealthy, with ten thousand taels of gold!He could feel a c..."Impossible! I'm certain that my mother did indeed pass away that year. I personally laid her and Father to rest on the day of the funeral. Shangguan Jianren had absolutely no chance to interfere!"

Admittedly, her speculation makes a lot of sense. However, he single-handedly handled all the funeral arrangements for his parents, and Shangguan Jianren wasn't around at the time. How could he have possibly had the chance to do it

“But what if he had prepared a body that looked exactly like your mother’s beforehand, and replaced her with it Then he secretly saved her life and let her live here.” Su Qingying didn’t know that her deduction at this moment was very close to the truth.

“But there’s no reason for him to do that. If he loves his aunt so much, how could he just stand by and watch her suffer from homesickness As the saying goes, 'Love me and love my dog', but what he's done to Heixin Ye over the years, even I find it cruel.” Shangguan Jinghong tapped her jade bone fan up and down, disbelieving her conjecture.

To love someone isn't it to hope that they live a happy and peaceful life

“Have you ever thought about it, what if A Li’s mother wants to leave, but Shangguan the despicable one doesn’t allow it Not only does he not let her leave, but he also blocks all news about her. In this way, no one knows about this.” Once she figured this out, Su Qingying suddenly felt like seeing through the clouds, the truth was infinitely clear, “In my opinion, this secret room is very likely built for A Li’s mother.”

"Ali, what are you doing" As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Jun Liye suddenly bend down and gently lift Shangguan Yanran from the ice coffin. Because she had been frozen for too long, her body was unusually cold.

“If everything you say is true, my mother has been imprisoned here for many years. I will bring her out of this cage no matter what, and let her reunite with my father.” Unfazed by the icy chill, Jun Liye hugged her corpse tightly to her chest, her narrow eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Just as Jun Liye was about to carry Shangguan Yanan's body, Su Qingying spotted a dark yellow booklet fall from her bosom.

“Hm Alì, a booklet fell out from your mother's bosom.” With quick hands, Su Qīngyíng picked up the booklet and casually opened it, glancing at it before raising an eyebrow. “Judging by the handwriting, it’s the kind of delicate script only a woman could write, probably penned by your own mother.”

"Quick, look on the top if there's any clue about how to leave this room." Shangguan Jinghong suddenly perked up and scurried over.

After being trapped for so many days, he was about to go insane!

Scanning rapidly over the characters on the note, Su Qingying was shocked. The more she looked, the more serious her expression became, and a heavy feeling filled her heart. "No, this note actually records all of her experiences, including why she died and came back to life, and why she appeared in this secret room. All the reasons are written down here, Ari, do you want to take a look"

"What was written on the note" Jun Liye held Shangguan Yanran, unable to free his hands, but seeing the coldness between her brows, he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart.

With a light sigh, Su Qingying replied: "Most of it is in line with my guess. After she was injured by you, she didn't die, but only temporarily stopped breathing, which led to the appearance of a state of apparent death. When you went mad and fell into a coma, Shangguan Jianren took advantage of the situation to take your mother back to the palace. Not only that, he also forged a corpse almost identical to hers to deceive you all."

Her hands, veins bulging prominently, Jun Li Ye tightly pursed her thin lips, her blood-red eyes brimming with uncontrollable fury and killing intent.

Shangguan Jianren, he actually dared!

After a moment's pause, Su Qingying continued, her ink-jade phoenix eyes flashing with a cold light like a drawn sword, "Ari, do you know why you fell into a state of madness and uncontrollability back then"

"Could it be related to him" Jun Liye's eyes turned cold as he stared at her, instantly guessing a few things. His killing intent towards Shangguan Jianren deepened even further.

“Well, not bad. Your madness was all his design. He planned to take advantage of your mother concubine's absence and have you eliminate your father king. But he didn't expect your mother concubine to return at that time.” Just thinking about how her beloved A-Li’s tragedy was caused by him, Su Qingying's anger surged wave after wave, her phoenix eyes flashing with ruthlessness.

This despicable wretch is worse than an animal!

Shangguan Jinghong's face turned pale, and she involuntarily took several steps back.

In just a few days, the image of his cold and ruthless father in his heart was completely overturned, becoming chilling and strange.

"Why would he do this Doesn't he claim to love my mother the most Why would he bring ruin upon her family" Jun Li said in a cold voice.

She shook her head, a queasiness rising in Su Qingying's heart. She said coldly, "It's precisely because he loves your mother so much that he would go to any lengths to eliminate you both."

"What do you mean" Jun Liye frowned in confusion.

“Sheng Shangjianren grew up with your mother concubine, and he actually developed a warped affection for her. He was jealous of your mother concubine marrying out of the palace, and even more resentful that she gave birth to you. He meticulously planned all this, his purpose was to possess your mother concubine completely, which is why he imprisoned her in this secret room.” Su Qingying recited everything written in the note, her impression of Sheng Shangjianren plummeted to the bottom.

To actually force his own sister into incest is truly sickening.

“It’s him! It’s him! Shangguan Jianren! He dares to treat our family like this!” Jun Li was furious. He no longer wanted to simply dismember Shangguan Jianren; he wanted to reduce him to ashes! Otherwise, he could never quell the hatred in his heart!

“That’s not all, after he brought your mother back, he kept her imprisoned in a secret room and, and forced her to have incestuous relations with him. Your mother had thought about suicide more than once, but pitifully, she was already pregnant. She couldn't bear the thought of taking her unborn child's life before it was even born.” Through that small notebook, Su Qingying seemed to have seen her whole life, her tragic experiences made her feel a pang of sympathy.

"Did your mother ever conceive his child" Jun Liye was stunned, staring at her with wide eyes, his narrow pupils flickering uncertainly.

If that child were still alive, should he be killed or should he be reunited with his family

After all, on one hand he is the son of his father's killer, on the other hand he is also the flesh and blood of his mother concubine, he... how should he choose

“No, it wasn't Shangguan Jianren’s. She was already two months pregnant before she was imprisoned, and she committed suicide after giving birth to the child.” Su Qingying relaxed slightly, chuckled, and shook her head, sincerely happy for him, “A-Li, your mother gave you a younger brother, you have a brother!”

"Then, Mother Consort, could you tell me where he is now" Jun Liye's heart also relaxed, and she immediately asked eagerly.

"There's no such thing, but there are whispers that the child was born with a red heart-shaped birthmark on their behind." Shaking her head, Su Qingying flipped the drawing of a heart-shaped birthmark on the notepad over to show them. defense. He hated his own foolishness, hated his inability to see through people!"Your Highness, it's not like that!" Being misunderstood by the person she loved most, Lan Xin Yao's heart ached. She...
