Chapter 882 Heartache
Chapter 882 Heartache
Upon hearing Song Ruozhen's question, Xuanji chuckled and said, "You seem to care quite a bit about your cousin."
"Your knowledge of metaphysics is quite high. In fact, you should have figured it out long ago: your cousin was destined for a bad end."
Not only her, but even the Prince of Yun met a tragic end. She was just a child; even without this incident, she wouldn't have been able to give birth.
Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen's eyes turned slightly cold; she was naturally aware of this.
After all, in the original book, after the Prince of Liang began to show his talent, he started to secretly plot against the other princes.
King Yun ultimately met a tragic end. Even though he married Huan'er, Huan'er eventually went to die with him.
In the original book, this child was destined not to survive.
However, many things have changed now; she lives in a real world, not just in a book.
Everyone in it is real, and everything that has happened before has already proven this point. Human will can overcome nature, and everything can be changed.
Just as the Seventh Prince married Meng Qin and no longer entangled with Wu Yue'er, just as her eldest brother did not become crippled and eventually died of depression, her second brother passed the imperial examination with top honors and is now thriving in the court.
Everything began to change, and both she and Jun Ting had come here to defy fate.
"So what? The original destiny has already begun to change, and this child should be able to be born now!" Song Ruozhen said in a deep voice.
"A child who was destined not to be born, do you know that rashly changing all of this will also backfire on you?"
Master Xuanyang looked on in disbelief. As a member of the Xuanmen sect, having seen through the ways of Heaven, he should naturally follow the trend.
How can someone like Song Ruozhen, who changes everything entirely according to her own ideas, also have such a high level of expertise in metaphysics?
This is so strange!
"So you're going to great lengths to target us, not only so that Prince Liang can become the crown prince, but also because you think we deserve to die, so whatever you do is justified?"
Song Ruozhen understood what Master Xuanyang was thinking.
Because in this guy's mind, all of them should die.
Whether Heaven or Heaven decrees their deaths, or they act on their own initiative, as long as the final outcome is the same, it is in accordance with Heaven's will.
“That’s natural. Your fate is predetermined. Just like you, your time has come. Keeping you alive in this world would only bring trouble!” Xuan Yang said solemnly.
Through Master Xuanyang's expression, Song Ruozhen suddenly recalled Chu Junting's earlier worries, fearing that the Prince of Liang would send someone to assassinate her.
Now it seems they really did have this plan, but Jun Ting had been sending people to protect her, so they hadn't found an opportunity.
“In my calculations of the Heavenly Way, you are the ones who deserve to die.”
Song Ruozhen narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. The way of heaven is never predetermined. Variables often occur. As a member of the Xuanmen sect, not even knowing this, and only knowing how to stick to the rules, one's achievements are really limited.
Xuan Yang also stared intently at Song Ruozhen; this guy was definitely an evil cultivator!
"I won't tell you where that woman is."
Xuan Yang suddenly smiled contemptuously, "The outcome is still uncertain, anything is possible. Traitors may stir up trouble, but in the end, destiny will prevail!"
"The Mandate of Heaven? With your abilities? You only know how to use such insidious methods, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves the Mandate of Heaven?"
However, these words seemed to have stepped on Xuan Yang's foot, and he jumped up, angrily shouting:
"What do you know? This is simply the emperor's period of dormancy!"
"Bullshit about lying in wait. If you really have that ability, why don't you just go to the battlefield?"
The King of Chu protected his country and rescued the people, earning their support. He was always upright and honorable, while you only knew how to hide in the shadows.
In the end, it's all about lying low, waiting for all the heroes of the world to take on all the responsibilities, and then you all come out to reap the rewards.
This kind of person... is actually the one you said was destined for greatness?
You might as well say it's a great war, a war that wipes out all the heroes of the world, leaving only the useless ones to pontificate about the state of the land.
Because the truly capable people are no longer here.
Song Ruozhen has a sharp tongue. When she first read this book, she thought the plot was really strange.
So many bright young generals died in battle, while those who feigned illness to escape responsibility ultimately gained the throne. This is the real injustice!
"Even if you argue until the heavens break, the final destiny will be the same."
Xuan Yang remained silent, still sticking to his own judgment.
As for the woman and child, he felt no burden at all. He was a dying man anyway, and was just doing his last bit of work before he died.
Song Ruozhen quietly examined Xuan Yang for a moment, and gradually became certain of her judgment.
The next moment, she suddenly stepped forward and took out a dagger.
"What do you want to do?"
A look of astonishment flashed across Xuan Yang's eyes. Did this woman intend to kill him directly in the prison?
"laugh!"
The sword pierced Xuan Yang's chest.
A sharp pain suddenly spread...
Chu Junting waited outside, because if he appeared, Xuan Yang would have to be more careful with his words.
Therefore, only Song Ruozhen went in, while everyone else stayed outside and were not allowed to go in and disturb them.
Upon hearing an unexpected muffled groan, Chu Junting, fearing that Xuan Yang had used some kind of trickery, hurriedly went inside.
In sight, Song Ruozhen and Xuan Yang were standing very close together.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the others were all puzzled by this scene. Weren't they supposed to be asking questions? Why were they standing so close?
Master Xuanyang has a rather handsome face, but is Princess Chu planning to end his life herself?
The matter hasn't been resolved yet; if we rashly end it, it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor.
Song Ruozhen slashed open Xuan Yang's chest, formed a hand seal, and took his heart's blood.
Do you know why I've been looking for you all this time?
After Song Ruozhen put Xuan Yang's heart's blood into a porcelain bottle, she finally spoke, a smile appearing on her delicate, jade-like face.
Xuan Yang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "You've been looking for me all along, haven't you?"
"I calculated for a long time, but I still couldn't find the woman's location, because the woman's breath was extremely weak. She was a dying person, and the child was a newborn, so her breath was unstable."
Even so, with my level of skill, I should be able to calculate the approximate location.
"But I can't figure it out."
Song Ruozhen paused for a moment, then said, "From the moment I couldn't figure it out, I knew that you must have done something."
“Now that your heart’s blood has been taken, you will not be able to hide where that woman is.”
The woman's voice was full of confidence, and even more so, a sense of relief.
