Chapter 262: 2 Extreme Reversal, the Tyrant's Heartache 7
Yunyan was not surprised by her arrival and invited her to sit in the house.
"Do you have a problem with me?"
She looked indifferent and spoke slowly.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Leng Rong. Thank you for saving my life."
Yunyan didn't care about these things, she asked tentatively.
"Are you here just to thank me?"
Leng Rong lowered his eyes, thought for two seconds, and then spoke.
"Qi Zhaoyi, I already know your identity. What I can't understand is, you are a Zhaoyi with such a beautiful face, why would I come to this miserable place?"
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't think it's miserable here. Don't you think it's pretty good here? There aren't so many rules and regulations, and there aren't any annoying men."
Leng Rong was surprised.
"You mean you hate Helian Jue."
Yunyan nodded and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Isn't it obvious? Didn't you hear about the bad luck he had at the gate of my palace before? That was all done by me, but others just don't know about it."
Leng Rong didn't know what to say and spoke after a long time.
"It's good that you have the means to protect yourself. Do you plan to stay in this cold palace forever?"
Yunyan shook her head.
"Who said that? I'm only here temporarily. I have other plans?"
Leng Rong was puzzled.
"Plan? Are you still going to target Helian Jue?"
Yunyan nodded seriously.
"Yes, I entered the palace just to target him."
Leng Rong somewhat disagreed.
"Don't forget that he is the emperor. He is not as easy to deal with as you think."
Leng Rong's words were cold, as if he had been harboring a grudge against Helian Jue for a long time.
Yunyan asked, "You know her so well, is it possible that you have a grudge against her?"
Leng Rong paused for a second, his eyes evasive.
"No, he is a tyrant who deserves to be killed by everyone. I just simply hate him."
Yunyan shook her head.
"You are not sincere at all. You clearly have a grudge against him. Otherwise, how do you explain the hateful look you just gave him?"
"Also, I discovered last night that Chen'er and Helian Jue are related by blood."
Leng Rong was shocked and she blurted out.
"How did you know?"
Yunyan spoke in a light tone.
"I discovered it last night. After I cleaned Chen'er's face, I noticed it."
"In fact, I am not only a doctor, I am also a fortune teller! It is normal to be able to read faces."
Yunyan's words surprised Leng Rong. She didn't expect Yunyan to be so powerful.
Yunyan didn't keep her in suspense anymore.
"Tell me, is Chen'er the daughter of the late emperor?"
Leng Rong was silent for a long time, but finally admitted it.
"Yes."
She looked out the window, her thoughts drifting far away.
"Ten years ago, I was a little palace maid. Later, I was favored by the late emperor and was named a talented person."
"At that time, Helian Jue's mother was still the virtuous imperial concubine. She was jealous and vicious. I was favored by the late emperor and enjoyed great glory for a while."
"This blocked the path of Concubine Xian. She framed me for practicing witchcraft. I was just a maid, without any background, so I was banished to the cold palace."
"It was only when I arrived at the cold palace that I realized I was pregnant. But I didn't dare tell anyone because I didn't want to go back and let my child fall into that plot."
"Fortunately, I met an old nanny in the cold palace. Because of her, I was able to give birth smoothly and raise Chen'er."
"Three years ago, the old nanny passed away. Without her protection, my life in the cold palace became increasingly difficult. I was often bullied and soon became seriously ill."
"But I'm really lucky to meet you again."
Leng Rong is a woman with a tragic fate. She has suffered from the fickleness of human nature during the years she has been in the cold palace, so she is so defensive.
Yunyan sighed.
"When Helian Jue ascended the throne, he killed all his brothers and sisters. Now Chen'er is the only survivor."
"How long do you think Chen'er's identity can be kept secret? Truth will come to light eventually. Leng Rong, have you ever thought about the future?"
There was helplessness in Leng Rong's eyes.
"What can I do? I can't even leave this cold palace. The only thing I can do is to teach my daughter to be wary of others and not to trust others easily."
Yunyan suddenly looked into her eyes.
"I want to slay a dragon, would you like to join me?"
Leng Rong thought she must be hallucinating, so she asked again.
"You, what did you just say?"
Yunyan's words were powerful.
"I said I wanted to slay the dragon, the one sitting on the emperor's throne."
Leng Rong’s first reaction was to find it ridiculous. How could Yunyan do it alone?
Then she thought of Yunyan's abilities. This girl not only knew medicine and fortune-telling, but also had amazing kung fu skills.
Leng Rong spoke with some uncertainty.
"You, are you sure? If this fails, it will be a capital crime and the entire clan will be executed."
Yunyan suddenly became a little excited.
"Kill all nine clans? That's great. It would be better if all ten clans of my family were killed."
Leng Rong was puzzled as to why someone would hope that his entire clan would be exterminated.
"You, do you have any grudge against your family?"
Yunyan nodded and admitted it openly.
"My mother was originally from a good family, but my father forced her to be his concubine."
"My mother died after giving birth to me. I was abused by the Qi family every day in the Shangshu Mansion. After I came of age, they sent me to the palace, hoping to use me to get promoted and make money."
"Tell me, can I not hate them?"
Leng Rong's eyes were suddenly filled with sympathy when he looked at Yunyan.
This girl looks heartless, but I didn't expect her life to be so miserable.
At least Chen'er still has his mother to accompany him.
She grew up alone since she was born, no wonder she learned so many kung fu skills.
If I wasn't strong enough, I would probably be bullied to death.
Leng Rong finally expressed his thoughts.
"Although I hate Helian Jue and his mother, our current strength is not enough to shake them. How can an ant shake a tree?"
Yunyan shook her head.
"Oh, of course I have to outsmart you. Don't worry, I won't easily expose myself without complete confidence."
"Let me ask you one thing now, are you willing to join me?"
"I did these things not just for my own personal revenge, but more because I couldn't bear to see Dayu's kingdom destroyed in the hands of such a person."
"If you are willing to join me, I will help your daughter ascend the throne of the emperor. She is the flesh and blood of the previous emperor, and it is legitimate."
Leng Rong was even more confused now.
"Emperor? But since the founding of Dayu, there has never been a precedent of a woman becoming emperor."
Yunyan shook her head.
"That's how narrow-minded you are. If there is no precedent, then we will set one. Rules are dead, but people are alive."
"We are all human beings, so why can men do what women can't?"
"Look at Dayu, which is ruled by men. Women have no other options except to take care of their husbands and children. Tell me, if women could become officials, would there still be so many women with miserable fates?"
