YM778.TV Chapter 118 The truth is so cruel (2)
“Not bad! Very great!” Wanyan Lie looked smilingly at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi. He nodded repeatedly, “Zhen1 feels happy for you!”
“Thanking uncle!” Feng Cang answered smilingly, but his hand held Murong Qi Qi’s soft body. At this time, Murong Qi Qi had her head lowered. Her face showed a smile of shyness. With one look, you would know she was a new wife.
Seeing Feng Cang being happy, inside Wanyan Lie’s heart appeared an indescribable feeling. For so many years, his plan had never failed. This time, because of that bitch Yue Lan Zhi, one step went wrong, all steps went wrong. It seemed that he needed to get into contact with Nan Feng country! Feng Cang’s happy smile was like a thorn, piercing his heart, making him bleed when he pulls that thorn out.
Wanyan Lie was unhappy, Yu Shi Shi was even more unhappy. The man who originally belonged to her became Murong Qi Qi’s. The embrace which originally belonged to her became Murong Qi Qi’s. Seeing Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi show love towards each other in public, Yu Shi Shi’s nails dug deep in her palm.
Just as Yu Shi Shi was staring at Feng Cang’s big hand which was holding Murong Qi Qi, a voice screamed, “Emperor, save me!” Then a girl stumbled and appeared in front of everyone. That girl’s hair was dishevelled. On her body were only a few pieces of fabric. She was barefoot and walked in a hurry as if she couldn’t feel the cold.
“Save me!”
When Murong Qing Lian entered and saw Wanyan Lie sitting in the front, all the grievances in her heart vented out, “Wa...,” She cried making everyone dumbfounded. Who was this woman? Why was she like this?
Murong Qing Lian’s appearance made the gentle smile on Dongfang Lan stiffen. This was her grandson’s big day, how come such a woman appeared and dampened the spirit
“Emperor, save me! Emperor, save me!”
On the shoulders of Murong Qing Lian who had been tortured by Wanyan Hong for the whole night, were bloody teeth marks. Those purple and blue bruises were very shocking to the eyes, making Wanyan Lie frown. “Are you not Xi Qi’s contestant? How come you’re like this?”
After Wanyan Lie said that, Lin Ke Xin remembered, “That’s right! Emperor, she is Murong Qing Lian. Speaking of this, she is Nan Lin wangfei’s2 little sister. She’s Murong Tai’s youngest daughter!”
Being mentioned by Lin Ke Xin, Murong Qi Qi could no longer pretend not to know. She could only ask people to bring some clothes to cover the bruises on Murong Qing Lian’s body.
“Thank you...” After wearing clothes and put on socks and shoes, Murong Qing Lian felt a lot warmer. She ran all the way here. She took advantage that Wanyan Hong wasn’t paying attention and ran out. Just now, she was warm from running and didn’t feel the cold. Now, that she stopped running, she couldn’t help but shudder.
“What had happened?” Wanyan Lie’s face was cold and looked at the pale faced Murong Qing Lian.
“Emperor, save me...his highness the crown prince, he...”
Murong Qing Lian hadn’t finished speaking when a voice came over, “Emperor father, this subject son wants to marry miss Murong as a cefei3 !”
Hearing Wanyan Hong’s voice, Murong Qing Lian’s body involuntarily trembled, “No! I don’t want! I don’t want to marry him! He’s a sicko! He, he raped me...woowoowoo...”
A ‘rape’ made the crowd think back about those bruises on Murong Qing Lian’s body. They immediately understood what happened. Lin Ke Xin looked once heartfully at Murong Qing Lian. Then she looked once at Murong Qi.
The two sisters of Murong family have good means, ah! The big sister married Nan Lin wang4, the little sister connected with the imperial crown prince. Truly powerful! Lin Ke Xin smiled and continued to maintain her gentle posture to watch a play.
“Don’t want? Could it be you want to be the main consort?” Wanyan Hong slowly approached Murong Qing Lian. Seeing him approach, Murong Qing Lian couldn’t help but backed. In the end, she accidently tripped but had been timely pulled up by Wanyan Hong.
“Let me go! You sicko!” Murong Qing Lian didn’t dare to think about what she encountered the night before.
This man insulted her the whole night! It was an endless bullying. No matter if it was the front or the back, all was tortured by him till they hovered between life and death. Especially that place; he actually touched there, making her feel very disgusted. She also got to know Wanyan Hong’s sick side.
“I’m a sicko? Didn’t you enjoy it before very much?”
Wanyan Hong fiercely pinched Murong Qing Lian’s waist and looked ferociously at her. This woman dared to kick his lifeblood (genitals), truly daring. Fortunately, he protected it in time, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use it anymore. Truly a vicious woman! However, she’s truly to his taste.
Seeing Murong Qing Lian struggling and wanted to beat him, Wanyan Hong grabbed her fist. He smiled, “Miss Murong, perhaps in your body there’s already this crown prince’s blood and flesh. Could it be that you want to let Bei Zhou’s imperial blood wander in the commoner world?”
“No! Even if I die, I won’t marry you!” Murong Qing Lian couldn’t accept what happened last night. Especially, she didn’t even think about marrying Wanyan Hong.
“Very well, then go die!” Wanyan Hong suddenly let go and pushed Murong Qing Lian to the ground. He also threw a dagger at her, “You want to die, this crown prince will let your wish come true! Be clean and neat, don’t be half dead and then need to rely on this crown prince to finish the deed!”
Originally, it was Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi who came to pay their gratitude in the palace. No one expected that in the end, Murong Qing Lian and Wanyan Hong would appear and made such a dramatic scene.
“Cough, cough!” Seeing his son being more and more outrageous, Wanyan Lie coughed twice. “In the end, what had happened? Hong er5, did you really do things you need to be sorry for towards miss Murong?”
“Emperor father, we’re each other’s sunshine! This subject son fell in love miss Murong at first sight. This day, after I confessed to miss Murong, she accepted this subject son. Then there was that thing that happened later...Emperor father, this subject son truly loves miss Murong. Asking emperor father to decree marriage on us!”
“I don’t want to!”
Murong Qing Lian didn’t want to marry Wanyan Hong. Her true one is Longze Jing Tian, not Wanyan Hong!
“You don’t want? Then who’ll want you?” Wanyan Hong lowered his body while smiling. He glared into Murong Qing Lian’s eyes which was full of fear, “If you don’t marry this crown prince, could it be, you want to marry another with this broken flower and withered willow body? Would there be someone who would want you?”
Wanyan Hong’s voice was very low, so low only Murong Qing Lian could hear. His words were like a dagger, piercing in Murong Qing Lian’s heart. That was right, she was no longer a virgin anymore. Besides, today so many people saw. It was impossible for Longze Jing Tian to still want her! She wouldn’t be able to become Jing wangfei anymore!
Murong Qing Lian’s face became dead gray. Why was it like this? She obviously still had a future yesterday, why did it become like this today?
“Be good! don’t be angry anymore!” Wanyan Hong pulled Murong Qing Lian up. He carefully arranged her clothes. “This crown prince would be kind to you!”
Murong Qing Lian didn’t speak, she only cried silently. Her performance, became ‘acquiescence’ in the eyes of other.
Humph! What a character, ah?! Just now, she courted death, but now she didn’t even have the courage to die. What not wanting to be a cefei? This was obviously loosening the reins only to grasp them better! Lin Ke Xin drank tea and continued to watch the play. This matter was provoked by the crown prince. The crown prince is her son’s rival. So, if she didn’t watch the play now, till when should she wait?
On the scene, the one with the worst expression was none other than Yu Shi Shi. Just now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi irritated her. Now, her man and Murong Qi Qi came to irritate her!
It was not that Yu Shi Shi didn’t understand the bruises on Murong Qing Lian’s body, in fact, she understood too well. It seemed that this woman endured a non-human torture, just as she also had in the past. However, she didn’t understand how Wanyan Hong and Murong Qing Lian got together.
Now, Wanyan Hong wanted to give Murong Qing Lian status. Besides, it was the second only to her cefei. This made Yu Shi Shi feel that she got a rival.
Although this man wasn’t the one she wanted, but the power and status this man gave her were things she was obsessed with! If there was no Wanyan Hong then she was nothing. Now, Murong Qing Lian put a foot inside it, the loss Yu Shi Shi suffered at Feng Cang’s was aroused.
“Your highness, marriage is a command from the parents and the matchmaker. Miss Murong’s parents are not here and she isn’t our Bei Zhou’s citizen. I fear we should ask prime minister Murong for his opinion on this marriage,” Yu Shi Shi gently opened her mouth. Hearing her speak, Wanyan Hong was only humphed coldly once, “This doesn’t matter. Isn’t Xi Qi’s Jing wang here? As long as he agrees, it would be fine!”
Just as Wanyan Hong mentioned Longze Jing tian, a eunuch trotted in and went to Jing De. He whispered in Jing De’s ears. Jing De nodded and came to Wanyan Lie, “Emperor, Xi Qi’s Jing wang Longze Jing Tian seek attendance! The prime minister’s wife Li Qiu Shui also came!”
“Announce them!”
From far away, a man and a woman walked over. The man was Longze Jing Tian and the woman was Li Qiu Shui. The moment, Murong Qing Lian heard Longze Jing Tian came, she broke away from Wanyan Hong’s arms. She looked pitifully at Longze Jing Tian and wanted him to save her.
That Longze Jing Tian appeared was not a surprise. What surprised Murong Qi Qi was Li Qiu Shui. Wasn’t she in Xi Qi? Why did she come here? A bad premonition hit Murong Qi Qi.
As if he sensed Murong Qi Qi’s unusualness, Feng Cang softly asked, “Qing Qing, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” Murong Qi Qi slowly shook her head, but her eyes had been on Li Qiu Shui.
Aside from Murong Qi Qi, the one who was surprised at Li Qiu Shui’s appearance was Wanyan Lie, “It’s you...”
“Your majesty, long time no see!” Li Qiu Shui’s smile was very generous and the way she talked with Wanyan Lie was like talking to an old friend. That kind of relaxation made people couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“What did you come for?” Wanyan Lie had no interest to reminisce the old times with Li Qiu Shui. The face which originally had a smile, immediately stiffened. Coldness emerged on his face, making Li Bing and Lin Ke Xin who were sitting at the right and left of him, feel cold.
“I came to see my daughter, ah!”
Longze Jing Tian was also surprised at the way Li Qiu Shui spoke with Wanyan Lie. In the morning, Li Qiu Shui suddenly appeared. She had an expression of missing her daughter very much and begged Longze Jing Tian to bring her in the palace to see Murong Qi Qi once. So, he brought Li Qiu Shui to the palace. He didn’t expect that this Li Qiu Shui an Wanyan Lie knew each other.
Li Qiu Shui said she came to see Murong Qi Qi. Wanyan Lie didn’t believe it. Murong Qi Qi also didn’t believe it.
From the smile on Li Qiu Shui’s face, Murong Qi Qi sensed a plot. Could she(LQS) had come for her (MQQ) history? Thinking about those words Li Qiu Shui reminded her before she (MQQ) left (Xi Qi) and also those unclean things on the wedding dress; could it be that she had been waiting for this day?
“Qi Qi, take down your Water Moon Mirror!” Li Qiu Shui looked at Murong Qi Qi. In her eyes were no longer the love from before, instead there was a smile with coldness and ridicule.
“Water Moon Mirror?” Hearing this, not only Wanyan Lie, but Dongfang Lan was also startled. The Water Moon Mirror was Wanyan Ming Yue loved possession. In the past, Wanyan Ming Yue often used the Water Moon Mirror to cover her true face to be able to sneak out and play. Why was this treasure at Murong Qi Qi’s?
Feng Cang felt odd at Li Qiu Shui’s words. He had heard about Water Moon Mirror. He also saw it in the past. However, didn’t this thing disappear with Wanyan Ming Yue’s death? Why was it at Murong Qi Qi’s? Could it be that Murong Qi Qi’s face was fake? What he saw was fake?
Seeing the doubts in Feng Cang’s eyes, Murong Qi Qi laughed once bitterly. Originally, she thought about hiding it from Feng Cang. The longer she could keep it a secret, the better. She didn’t take Li Qiu Shui, this accident into account.
“Wangye1, I didn’t deliberately keep it a secret from you (TLNote: uhm...you did)!” Murong Qi Qi’s eyes were full of guilt, making Feng Cang feel heartache.
“Qing Qing, don’t be afraid. You have me!”
Inside Li Qiu Shui’s eyes, Feng Cang’s gentleness was a great mockery. “Qi Qi, take down your Water Moon Mirror. Let your (maternal) grandmother, your (maternal) uncle, right, and your biological big brother see your true appearance!”
Listening till here, Murong Qi Qi’s heart sank. She completely went cold. Sure enough, sure enough it was like this! She didn’t expect her small trace of hope had been buried alive by Li Qiu Shui.
The people were more puzzled after hearing Li Qiu Shui say that. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi still didn’t take down the Water Moon Mirror, Li Qiu Shui’s hands flew at Murong Qi Qi’s face and wanted to seize the thing on her face.
Murong Qi Qi had long been prepared for Li Qiu Shui’s sudden attack. Just as Li Qiu Shui’s hands was about to fell on her face, Murong Qi Qi grabbed Li Qiu Shui’s hands and fixed her there.
That Murong Qi Qi knew martial arts was outside of Li Qiu Shui’s expectation. Seeing the coldness in Murong Qi Qi’s eyes, Li Qiu Shui laughed, “What, you don’t dare to take it off? Be good! Let mother help you take down the Water Moon Mirror!”
“You’re not my mother!” Murong Qi Qi kicked Li Qiu Shui chest. Li Qiu Shui backed and fell at a distance.
“Cough, cough!” Her chest felt pain. Li Qiu Shui coughed blood. “You’re indeed Feng Xie and Ming Yue’s daughter. You actually lied to everyone about having martial arts!”
“What about that I have martial arts?!”
Murong Qi Qi stood up like a gallant martyr and walked to the centre of the hall.
“What’s the matter, ah?!” Lin Ke Xin was muddleheaded. “What (maternal) grandmother and uncle? What are you talking about?!”
“Let her say it, ah! Hahaha! When she takes down the Water Moon Mirror, you would see and would understand everything!” While Li Qiu Shui was laughing, the corners of her mouth were bleeding. However, she seemed as if she couldn’t feel the pain. It was as if now was her happiest moment.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Murong Qi Qi knew that she couldn’t cover this matter up today. It seemed that she could only face reality.
Murong Qi Qi raised her hand and removed the Water Moon Mirror from her face, revealing her original face.
“Ah...” The crutch with a dragon head in Dongfang Lan’s hand fell with a ‘bang’ on the ground. “Ming Yue, you are, Ming Yue...”
Wanyan Lie was also stunned. He collected so many women who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue, but none could be compared to the person in front of him. That is Ming Yue’s face, that is Ming Yue’s brows, that is Ming Yue’s nose, that is Ming Yue’s lips, even the aura from her body was Ming Yue’s...
“Qing Qing...”
Feng Cang’s heart beat very fast. So, so, it was like this... “No wonder you refused...” Feng Cang didn’t finish his words, but he and Murong Qi Qi understood the meaning of those words.
“Wangye, I also only got to know the day before yesterday and didn’t keep it deliberately from you.” Murong Qi Qi was afraid that Feng Cang would misunderstood and quickly explained, “I truly didn’t do it intentionally.”
“Hahahaha!” Seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, Li Qiu Shui laughed the hardest. She was also the happiest person, “Feng Xie! Did you see?! Your daughter married your son! Hahaha! Your biological daughter became you son’s wife, did you see?!”
Li Qiu Shui’s words answered the questions in everyone’s heart.
“What did you say? You said, she’s Ming Yue’s daughter?” Wanyan Lie rushed to her and grabbed her hand, “That child is still alive, isn’t it? You took away that child? That child is her, isn’t it?”
“Hahaha! That’s right! I took her away! I strangled my own daughter and let her take the place of my daughter to be raised in Murong household. I let her get the surname Murong and let her become the third miss Murong! Hahaha!”
Li Qiu Shui laughed till she cried. She looked viciously at Murong Qi Qi. All her emotions could only be described with the word ‘hate’. “You’re not my biological daughter. Your father was Bei Zhou’s great general Feng Xie. Your birth mother is Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, you know your identity!”
“Why? Why did you do it?” Although she guessed that perhaps this matter had something to do with Li Qiu Shui, but Murong Qi Qi couldn’t find the reason why Li Qiu Shui hates Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Could there be something more inside this?
“Why? You ask me why?”
As if she heard the biggest joke, Li Qiu Shui struggled and got away from Wanyan Lie’s grab. She wiped the blood from her mouth and walked to Murong Qi Qi, “Because Wanyan Ming Yue stole the man I loved! Because Feng Xie chose Wanyan Ming Yue and abandoned me! Because they were like a couple of immortals. Because they were happy making me envy and hate them!”
