Chapter 518 Frank confession

Emperor Shenwu also harbored a tinge of resentment towards Princess Mingzhu deep down. If Princess Mingzhu had held onto her own principles, why would she have gotten involved with those people? The maid Ah Tian wouldn't have come after her, and even implicated her own son. While this may seem a bit cruel, Emperor Shenwu's logic was clear.

Lan Qingwu hesitated for a moment, then she put her delicate hands around the neck of the Divine Martial Emperor. Their faces were almost touching, their breaths indistinguishable. The Divine Martial Emperor gently pressed his forehead against Lan Qingwu's. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lan Qingwu lowered his watery eyes, not daring to look into the eyes of the Divine Martial Emperor: "Back then, Lin Shaojie really died at the hands of a weakling! He was a complete demon! Brother Heng..."

The hands of the Emperor Shenwu, who had been supporting Lan Qingwu's slender waist, unconsciously exerted force. Lan Qingwu cried out in pain, and the Emperor Shenwu said in a low voice, "What happened back then?"

Lan Qingwu bit her petal-like lips lightly. "In that town, young women lived in humiliation. Lin Shaojie hid in the mountains during the day, but at night he led the remaining troops down the mountain into the town. The women's screams and cries continued all night long. They tortured, raped... They committed countless beastly acts! People committed suicide every day! Later, Ruping and I found a way to go up the mountain, and we used a handful of hemp leaves to make everyone on the mountain unconscious..."

Emperor Shenwu interrupted Lan Qingwu: "I know all this. You told me... If you feel uncomfortable thinking about it, then don't say it!"

Lan Qingwu has never been a truly weak woman. She is intelligent, courageous, and seemingly weak, but she has a strong character. She knows what she should do and what she shouldn't do. Emperor Shenwu understood this clearly when he met her.

Lan Qingwu shook his head, his eyes moist and his mood gloomy: "That Lin Shaojie is too clever. The three or four people around him are not well-versed in Chinese medicine. Ruping is struggling to cope on her own. It was me who gave Lin Shaojie the final blow!"

She couldn't bear to watch the person she cared about get hurt again, not to mention that Ru Ping had already given so much for her!

"So, Brother Heng, if Princess Mingzhu hates me, then let her! Ah Tian is indeed here to seek revenge on Ruo Ruo! And that child's death was indeed half caused by Ruo Ruo!"

The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes were dark and unclear. He finally hugged Lan Qingwu tightly and sighed, "Why are you so stupid? You didn't say anything for so many years, but now you have to tell me the truth! If what I said is true, then Lin Shaojie's biggest enemy is me. It was me who demoted him and made him a lackey of the Abandoned King. It was my constant concerns about the Abandoned King that caused the chaos in Jiazhou City! This is why everything happened today!"

"If Mingzhu feels strange, it's my fault!"

Emperor Shenwu reached out and stroked Lan Qingwu's cheek: "Listen to me, don't tell anyone else about this except me! Do you understand?"

Lan Qingwu nodded. "It's a tragedy for parents to lose their child. Brother Heng, I'm afraid Mingzhu won't have a good time getting over this!"

Emperor Shenwu pondered and said, "I heard today that Mingzhu can now eat some food and is slowly getting better."

Lan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. She raised her snow-white face, her watery eyes filled with worry. "Brother Heng, do you know my cousin Ruoruo's sister, Wang Jiaren? After the hurt she experienced, she was heartbroken and refused to eat or drink. Her mother stayed by her side day and night for many days. Finally, Jiaren began to relent. But just as she got better, her mother relaxed, and that very night, Jiaren swallowed gold and died!"

Lan Qingwu said fearfully, "Brother Heng, I'm so scared! The pain of losing a child is heart-wrenching, and I don't want you to go through it again, Brother Heng! It's time for everyone at Princess Mingzhu to breathe a sigh of relief! Brother Heng..."

The pupils of Emperor Shenwu constricted. He had certainly heard about that incident. The uneasiness in his heart gradually grew. He embraced Lan Qingwu in his arms and said, "I know! I will go and see it myself tomorrow! Ruo Ruo, you..."

Lan Qingwu immediately said, "Brother Heng, Ruo Ruo will go with you!"

In the quiet of the night, the two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bodies!
