Chapter 1349 - 1429: Heard It
"Second, I am using the Liang family as a scapegoat. If it’s true as you say, that Dong Baowei is deeply in love with her husband, then when she finds out he was indirectly killed by you, she might turn against you."
"You dare—!!"
Yun Ge’s eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.
"Why wouldn’t I dare? You can even resort to such acts of cutting flesh and letting blood, so what wouldn’t I dare to do? These days, Jiumei has been suffering from countless wounds, her face pale and she’s about to collapse. You’re clearly killing the hen to grab the eggs!"
"I..."
Inside the room.
Dong Huiying slowly awoke and heard what seemed to be the sound of quarreling outside the door. The content of the quarrel...
"Yun Ge?"
Outside, Yun Ge suddenly heard a sound coming from the house behind, followed by the rattling of chains.
"Come in then, whatever the matter, come to me to speak."
Yun Ge’s heart sank to the bottom, as if soaking in a cold pool, invaded by the biting chill. She shivered. Frowning, she looked at Prince Meng, a trace of discontent in her expression. It’s all because of this person, what now? Purple chervil has heard it!
Her heart was pounding, but things had come to this, she could only muster her courage and stiffly turn around to enter the room behind.
At the moment of pushing the door, she took a deep breath, bracing herself psychologically, but deep down she was still panicked and full of guilt.
"Purple chervil..." She looked towards the person on the bed with trepidation. Dong Huiying cast a glance behind Yun Ge: "Prince is also here? Come in, I’m very curious about the topic you two were discussing just now."
Prince Meng walked in gracefully, giving Yun Ge a mocking glance. The truth can’t be hidden forever, and this stubborn person deserves it. "How much did you hear?"
Prince Meng looked at the old nun on the bed. He had heard of the Resurgence, given that there had been precedents of it within the royal family. Yet, seeing Dong Huiying’s aged appearance, he still couldn’t associate her with the former Marshal Baowei.
"Heard quite a lot. Prince, you just threatened Yun Ge, planning to use my husband as a scapegoat?" Coldness rose in Dong Huiying’s eyes. Those who knew her personality were aware that she was particularly protective. Much less, her husband; someone dared to use her family as a scapegoat? Have they sought her opinion, or are they borrowing courage from the heavens?
But very quickly, Dong Huiying couldn’t afford to be angry anymore, because of a sentence from Prince Meng that sent her mind into chaos.
"Marshal might not have heard everything. Do you know where the soup medicine you’ve been taking recently comes from?" Dong Huiying instinctively looked at Yun Ge, whose face was full of urgency: "Stop!" She wanted to prevent Prince Meng from speaking, but it was too late, her eyes wide with fury.
"The soup medicine is actually useless, but inside there’s a particularly special medicine guide, which is Jiumei’s blood! In truth, her Phoenix Blood can bring Resurgence ancestors back to life, rejuvenate the dried tree. But human blood? In the past, the Marshal was fearsome in battles across the battlefield, yet I never knew the Marshal also had a penchant for drinking human blood. Nevertheless, given the Marshal’s unmatched patriotism and previous loyalty to Jiumei, Yun Ge kept it from the Marshal, but I couldn’t!"
"Be it selfishness or other reasons. It’s important to know that if Yun Ge continues unchecked, Jiumei is bound to die at her hands one day."
"In this situation, I request the Marshal to make a decision. Whether to tolerate or to stop it? I too am curious to know, in the Marshal’s heart, is your life more important, or is Jiumei’s life more important?"
