Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female) - Chapter 283
"She's your niece!" How could you be so heartless?
"I know, but he was also a great contributor to the Eastern Qing Dynasty."
Murong cried silently: "You've wronged... her, you've wronged... my Xiao Yi..." Xiao Yi hates trouble the most, Xiao Yi doesn't want anything, she just wants to live a life of leisure and wait to die, how could she possibly threaten your kingdom?
Murong lay slumped in Mu Feng's arms, his clothes soaked with tears, the person in his arms crying so hard he was almost in shock.
Mu Feng looked at his sister with sympathy.
"I... have already lost one... child, why... now..."
Mu Feng hugged her tightly, silently conveying the affection only they understood:
The person in his arms was Mu Feng's younger sister, the sister he had cherished since childhood, and he was more afraid of hurting her than anyone else;
This woman, so beautiful that she could make anyone abandon any evil thoughts, was once a legend in Xifeng.
Who doesn't know that the young princess of the Mu family is a celestial being descended to earth? Who doesn't know that the young princess of the Mu family is exceptionally talented? Countless literati and poets have written about her, and countless famous scholars and extraordinary individuals have vied for her attention.
He had always thought the woman in his arms was his one and only, and he had always thought he could use his power to force her to stay by his side.
But... why did Xi Lingchang take a liking to her? He risked his life to get Rong'er. Rong'er had cried in his arms back then, and her tears chilled his heart to the extreme.
"I...love...her..." Xiao Yi was her only hope for survival! She couldn't live without her. Give Xiao Yi back to her. She had already left the Storm Circle, so why was she being treated like this...?
Mu Feng was startled, and dared not loosen his grip on her. "Rong'er..."
"Why...why..." Why did you chase after her after she escaped here? Why did you come to hurt her hard work? Why did you ruin her life?
She stopped asking for it. She had stopped complaining long ago when Xiao Yi was born. Why did they have to come back? Why did they take away what belonged to her? Why couldn't she live out the rest of her life in peace?
She didn't blame the old emperor for abusing her, nor did she blame him for not being able to have her a second time and for finding her a bunch of men...
She blamed nothing anymore, so why did it still turn out this way? Why! Why is this happening?!
What did she do wrong?! Heaven is taking Xiao Yi away! Hasn't it hurt her enough already...?
Mu Feng hugged her tightly in terror. "Rong'er, I love you..."
Murong laughed loudly: "Give me back Xiao Yi! Give me back Xiao Yi and I'll agree to anything you ask!" Murong was insane.
Mu Feng suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and held her down to prevent her from moving. "Rong'er!...Rong'er!..."
"Give me back Xiao Yi! Give me back Xiao Yi! Give me back Xiao Yi!" Murong grabbed him by the neck, and Mu Feng dared not move: "Calm down......"
"I don't care! Give me back Xiao Yi! Give me back Xiao Yi!"
-- Clang! -- Murong fainted. A veiled woman stood behind her, holding a hard object that was the tool used to knock Murong unconscious.
Mu Feng quickly got up, helped his sister up, and looked at the woman reproachfully.
"I want to help you." The woman's voice was beautiful, but it couldn't touch his heart.
"Thank you, Princess."
Mu Feng helped the person in his arms into the room; their first meeting after so many years had ended like this…
[Beauty's Smile: Zhongli]
I carried my master into the power struggle.
I saw that when the eldest young master died, he gave his master the "Blood Breaking Technique" that he had mastered.
So I brought him in; I wanted him to fulfill my ideals; I wanted him to let me stand in the shadows.
Unlike the other children, he was not excited. He was afraid of everything here and disliked people. At such a young age, he seemed to have seen through the deceit and treachery here.
But I'm placing my hopes on him; he has to succeed.
I, Zhongli, need him to reach the top of the Shadow faction. I need him to seize the opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
The people here are all domineering; it's incredibly difficult to stand out. Aside from everything you possess, it all depends on the whims of your masters. If your masters promote you, you're treated like royalty, possessing everything of supreme power. If they don't, you're nothing but weeds in the Sikong family's garden, ignored by everyone.
In the Sikong Mansion, if you possess supreme power, it's equivalent to having the strength to look down on the four kingdoms, which is too tempting for me.
Perhaps the successive heads of the Sikong family felt indifferent, but in our eyes they were gods, the only faith in this world. No one lived more freely, no one was more unrestrained, and no one was more composed.
They are our pillars, the masters we both admire and fear in our hearts.
When I held him, I never imagined that he would actually become the next head of the family. I never imagined that he would be more outstanding than any previous head of the family. I never imagined that the highest level of power I had ever received was second only to him.
I never imagined that I would make such a serious mistake in the end.
...
Watching him succumb to the gnawing insects, I secretly helped him break through his cultivation barrier. He couldn't die; if he died, my hope would vanish. The Sixth Young Master was groomed by Zhong Lie. If he became the next head of the family, I wouldn't be the Shadow Guard Master. I wouldn't let anyone remember me.
No, I must make a name for myself and not let Zhong Lie surpass me. I helped my master behind everyone's back, even though I was afraid of being blamed. But I'm already middle-aged and I have no choice but to fight for it!
Despite my extreme caution, the master still discovered it.
The master seems to favor his master. In my opinion, even a little favoritism from a superior can reverse the situation, let alone Sikong Lu, the highest authority in the Sikong family.
He remained silent about my help to the young master, and I gradually grew bolder, sometimes transferring double the amount of my power to him.
