Chapter 31 Reborn After the Agony

Yun Su suddenly felt regretful. He shouldn't have arranged everything deliberately. A few days ago, Yuer brought him a piece of news that drove him crazy. She saw Kong Yue pouring well water on his body by the well. His soaked clothes were attached to his body, so Yuer could see Kong Yue's chest. Yuer was no longer ignorant. She could tell the difference immediately. It was the time when Yuer knew that Kong Yue was a man. Yun Su had been suspicious of Kong Yue. Hearing that he dared to kiss his Sister Xi, Yun Su wanted to make him the scapegoat of the assassination. He had been planning for it. After knowing that Kong Yue was a man, he thought of his young uncle Yun Hai who looked like Kong Yue immediately. Yun Hai's mother was a princess of the Kingdom of Xuan. Yun Su investigated it in secret as soon as he had the clue of the Kingdom of Xuan. As expected, it turned out that Kong Yue was from the Kingdom of Kong and he was the mastermind of that birthday banquet assassination. Therefore, Yun Su suggested his father go hunting and leaked the news to the spy of the Kingdom of Kong deliberately. He had arranged this siege show. It was also Yun Su who invited Princess Xi here in the name of his father. He wanted Yun Xi to watch the death of her beloved man with her own eyes. He wanted her to give up. Yun Su also had no idea when his feeling for Yun Xi had already become love. Perhaps because of his perverted possessiveness, he wanted her so much and he thought he would get her one day. He even had planned to fight against his father for her since a long time ago. Yun Su wanted to hide in the dark in the first place. He didn't want her to know that he had arranged everything. Yun Su still wanted to pretend to be a nice guy in front of her. But today, he lost his mind because of her desperation. He completely forgot his elegant manners which he was proud of. He didn't want her to die or sacrifice. He would also never allow her to leave him. Yun Su would not let go of her at the price of imprisoning her for a lifetime, exposing everything, or being hated by her. The hunting ground of the western suburbs in front of them had been a beautiful place with clear waters and green hills. However, now it was dyed red with blood. In the middle of the corpses of the men in black, Princess Xi was holding Kong Yue who had lost his temperature. She was still kissing him as if there were only the two of them left in the world. It was a kind of weird beauty. King Yun looked at Yun Xi. He seemed to see that woman again—her mother, Mengxi, the only woman King Yun had ever loved in his life. He hated her betrayal. In the end, she died with King Shui who was old enough to be her father rather than coming back to him. Therefore, he did not hesitate to annihilate the Kingdom of Shui and took away the bastard of King Shui and her as a sacrifice. Yun Xi he saw now was as lowly as her mother. No, she was worse than her mother. It was obvious that his favorite son had been in love with her. At this moment, King Yun's eyes had shown the intention to kill her. However, he could not kill her immediately because she was a sacrifice. "Lock up that bitch and imprison her in her room. Take good care of her! I want her to be sacrificed alive." "Your Majesty, please spare Princess Xi and allow me to keep an eye on her." "Su, what are you talking about? You have disappointed me too much. How can someone who does great things gets distracted by a woman." "Your Majesty, I said please spare Princess Xi." "Yun Su, do you still know you are the Crown Prince? This woman can't be alive. Are you guys deaf? Send Crown Prince back to his palace!" But not a single soldier came forward at this moment. A group of veterans echoed King Yun's words. However, no one responded no matter how they lost their temper, glared at others, and made noises. The scene was very weird. Crown Prince Yun Su changed his cautious look. He walked towards the corpses all over the ground and pulled up Yun Xi who was still holding Kong Yue. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly, ignoring her struggle. "Your Majesty, I didn't want to force you, but she is the person that I care about the most." "What do you want to do, you unfilial son!" "Now I can only make you the father of the king earlier than expected." As soon as Crown Prince finished his words, a soldier stepped forward and caught King Yun. King Yun was so angry that he cursed, "Unfilial son, how dare you rebel. Do you know the Kingdom of Yun will perish if she isn’t sacrificed? Do you want to destroy the century-old foundation of our kingdom for a woman?" "I don't believe the foundation of my kingdom depends on sacrificing a woman." "You rebellious beast. I am going to give the world to you sooner or later, but you are in such a hurry to usurp the throne." "Your Majesty, I didn’t mean to do so. My mother was beaten to death by you back then. I was too young to stop you. But now, no one can touch the person I care about." "What did you say?" "Well… you don't care about my mother at all, let alone taking it seriously. Father, you can rest assured and live out your life in retirement, and your son will take care of everything for you. If anyone has any problems with my succession, you can step forward now. " As soon as Yun Su finished his words, many dissatisfied officials and some young princes stepped forward. Yun Su waved his hand. Their heads were immediately cut off by the soldiers nearby before they stood firm and utter a word. The scene was so bloody. People kept screaming and everything was chaotic. "I will kill people who scream again." When Yun Su said this, the expression on his face was still so gentle and harmless. However, his words had shocked all the people present. All the people were covering their mouths, fearing that they would be killed because of making a sound. Yun Su suddenly leaned down and said to Yun Xi in his arms, "Sister Xi, I became an unfilial son only for saving you." After he finished his words, he forcibly took away the girl who had been looking at Kong Yue. The succession began and ended so inexplicably. After Yun Su succeeded to the throne, he was renamed the emperor. Kings became emperors, and the Kingdom of Yun became the Empire of Yun. Yun Su took the girl to the bedroom of Crown Prince which was about to become history. Today, he saw what the girl did and her desperation. He saw her kissing Kong Yue who had been dead in front of so many people. He had totally lost his mind. Yun Xi was thrown on the bed by him. Yun Su rushed to kiss the girl's pink lips frantically, ignoring her desperate struggle. He still did not stop when Yun Xi bit his tongue and the smell of blood filled his entire mouth. Blood flowed down from their mouths that had never been separated, dripping on the young girl's neck as white as jade. It looked indescribably weird and charming. The girl couldn't struggle, and she kept holding Kong Yue's pearl in her hand. She clenched it tightly, but she couldn't stop the man. After a long time, he finally let go of her and seized her hands with a big hand. At that moment, she was desperate, and her hope was gone. Yun Xi no longer struggled. She knew that no one would come to rescue her no matter what happened to her. Her Yue had gone. Besides, her struggle would only make Yun Su even crazier. Now everything was inevitable. The only thing she could do was holding tightly onto the pearl with the last trace of warmth of Kong Yue. Her suffering was like being bitten by a dog. One day, she would kill the dog by dismembering its body. However, Yun Su suddenly stopped. The girl's silence calmed him down. He felt strange and raised his head to look at the girl under him. Yun Xi was biting her own lips. Fresh blood was dripping down from her lips. It had been his blood, and now she was also bleeding. She looked above the bed blankly without tears. Her heart couldn't be more broken. For all this time, Yun Xi only held on to the pearl belonging to Kong Yue and stopped resisting. Yun Su felt so painful when he saw such a desperate girl. It was like a basin of cold water pouring down to quench his sexual impulse. He called her anxiously, "Sister Xi." However, Yun Xi did not answer Yun Su. She raised her eyes to stare at Yun Su. Her eyes changed from being helpless to mature and tough. There was also deep hatred in her eyes. At this moment, Yun Su felt pitiful and panicked, so he stopped. He hugged Yun Xi tightly, "Sister Xi, don't hate me. Don't hate me. I won't touch you again. I will wait for you to forget Kong Yue, okay?" But Yun Xi pushed him away immediately. She pulled the quilt on the other side to cover the shame on her body. "Then you can go away." She had a soft voice, but it showed a ruthless coldness. This was the first time that Yun Su had heard her voice, and it sounded so indifferent. Yun Su didn't feel annoyed at all. He was flustered. After all, his Sister Xi had suffered too much today. But he didn't regret it. He would kill Kong Yue sooner or later. His only regret was that he shouldn't let her witness it. He hugged Yun Xi who was hiding in the bed. Ignoring her hatred, he kissed her on the forehead and left the room. Soon a bathtub was brought to the room. Yuer came in to serve her. Yun Xi said, "Go away", and she walked directly into the bathtub. Yuer clenched her fists in resentment. Why did Yun Xi become the Crown Prince's woman instead of her? Yuer suddenly had an evil idea. She left the room quickly and ran to the study room of the Crown Prince. The water in the bathtub submerged Yun Xi's head, and her tears were mixed in the water. She didn't come to the top until she was unable to breathe. She desperately washed her body Yun Su had touched. Fortunately, she was still a virgin. However, compared with her body, she cared more about Kong Yue's death. She tightly held the pearl in her hand and placed it on her chest. All her pain was deeply suppressed. The girl stopped crying. She put on her clothes. Yun Xi wanted to stay alive to make all the people who had hurt her beloved ones pay the price. She wanted to make them come to a sticky end. Xiyan Palace had been energetic because of them. After that day, it was even more deserted than before without any trace of people. Everything looked the same as usual. However, the beauty under that phoenix tree was no longer there. Yun Xi never stepped into Xiyan Palace again, let alone Yuer. That place was special and sacred to Yun Xi. There were so many memories of her and Kong Yue in this place. It was obvious that Kong Yue was set up this time. Now she had to find out who betrayed Kong Yue and the people who had destroyed the Kingdom of Shui in the past. Yun Xi was no longer the pure and innocent Princess Xi. She now wore a mourning dress every day to grieve for her Yue. From her perspective, she had been Kong Yue's wife. The only person Princess Xi trusted now was Yun Zhi. However, she didn't want to expose him, so she waited for him to contact her. That afternoon, a servant girl called Honger approached her voluntarily. After Honger told her the details of the three people on the Seventh Night of July, Yun Xi finally believed that she was Yun Zhi's person. She was one of Yun Zhi's people in the imperial palace. With Honger, she could communicate with Yun Zhi more conveniently. Of course, Yun Xi would not talk to Honger casually. Sometimes Yun Xi was watching flowers while Honger was watering the flowers nearby. Yun Xi was at the window of the room while Honger was outside the window. Yun Xi was in front of a tree while Honger was behind the tree... The two people talked secretly. They scarcely talked to each other face to face. Now Yun Xi had to be very careful about every step she took. After all, Yun Su was watching her. Fortunately, Yun Su didn't force her anymore except for that night. However, he stayed next to her every day after the imperial court session ended. He liked to watch her even when he was reviewing the reports. He only left when he was about to sleep at night. However, Yun Xi didn't want to say a word to him, and she treated him as air. He has never been annoyed. Yun Su had always believed that she would compromise one day if he always stayed with her. However, he didn't know that some hatred couldn't be forgotten just because of compromise.
