C18 Kamikaze

A thick stench of blood floated above the silent imperial court.

Zi Yuan slowly moved forward with his brows tightly knitted together as he gazed at the Esteemed wangfei and the Twelfth Prince, who were getting closer and closer to him.

"Stop!" Bold traitor, you actually … "How dare you …"

Huifei hugged her son tightly, her whole body trembling as she shrank back into her throne. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and even her speech was intermittent and incomplete.

Zi Yuan looked at Hui Fei with disdain as a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

If Imperial Concubine Hui was able to hold her only remaining pride at this last moment, perhaps, Zi Yuan would still have a trace of admiration for her. But now, as a mother, Esteemed wangfei's face was ashen and shivering in front of her six-year-old son. Had she never thought that her actions would only make her son feel even more fear?

"Mu-muhou, muhou …"

The six-year-old boy's eyes widened in horror, and he clutched at his mother's clothes, urinating between his legs.

Zi Yuan stopped a meter away from the mother and son. With an indifferent sigh, she said, "Yeah, even if I was born in the royal family, a six year old child would be scared to death by the scene of a bloodbath in the imperial court."

"Bold, daring traitor, this throne is …" It belongs to my son, no one should even think about it … "Seize, snatch." As she spoke, she pulled her wide and gorgeous sleeves into her arms.

It was at this moment that Zi Yuan realized that the Imperial Jade Seal was hidden in the sleeve of Imperial Consort Hui's robes. It seemed that what she wanted to protect was not her son, but the heavy Imperial Jade Seal.

"Whoosh!"

Violet Garden quickly raised the sword in her hand, and pointed it straight at Hui Fei's heart. She coldly said, "Hand over the Imperial Jade Seal, leave the throne, and await the punishment of His Highness the crown prince!"

"Sis, sis …" Please, please let my mother go. "

The six-year-old prince suddenly stood in front of Hui Fei, his black eyes wide open as he pleaded in a tender voice.

Zi Yuan reflexively retracted his sword. He looked blankly at the boy who begged her, feeling inexplicably touched.

When she was a killer, she had encountered this kind of situation many times. The her back then had never wavered, much less had her hand softened. But now … She actually wanted to retreat, but she was actually soft-hearted. Just what was going on? Could it be that she was still affected by the original Violet Garden in the end?

"Twelfth Prince, I'm very sorry, I … I can't do it. "

The boy looked up at Zi Yuan and asked her with tears in his eyes, "So, are you sent by your royal brother? If I go and plead with my royal brother, will he let me and my mother go? "

"No way!"

A familiar and low male voice came from behind the Violet Garden. That firm answer heavily struck her heart, causing a moment of absent-mindedness to appear before her eyes. It was as if she once again felt the ice-cold feeling of falling into the sea before her death.

"S-royal brother?"

The boy's eyes were misty with tears. His trembling gaze looked past the Violet Garden and behind her.

Even without turning around to look, the Violet Garden was already able to determine who the person standing there was. She was only slightly surprised because the speed at which Helian Xuan Yi was rushing over seemed to be too fast. Could it be that … He wasn't waiting at the city gate, but was he following her closely and watching her every move?

What sort of feelings did he have for the Violet Garden? If she truly cared about someone, how could she not believe her? However, if he didn't have love, why would he torture himself and the Violet Garden?

Such feelings were too complex, too heavy for her to understand, and she did not want to touch them. She only hoped that everything would come to an end as soon as possible, that she could stay by the old duke's side and take a look at the home where the Violet Garden had lived.

"Men, capture them all!"

Helian Xuanyin ordered indifferently. Ignoring the Twelfth Emperor who pitifully pleaded with him, he strode forward and arrogantly looked down at Hui Fei who was being forcefully taken away by the soldiers and the boy who was crying.

"BOOM!"

The Imperial Concubine Hui's Imperial Jade Seal that was hidden in her sleeve fell out, landing right at the foot of the Helian Profound Wings.

Helian Xuan Yi curled his thin lips coldly, and disdainfully tightened his brows. "Huai Fei, have you seen it? No matter how much you hide the Imperial Jade Seal, the Imperial Jade Seal will still find its owner! If you behave yourself and do your duty, I will protect you and your son on the face of the Twelfth Emperor, but you listened to Murong Xiu and actually wanted to kill me for the throne. You're truly overestimating yourself! On account of you being the favorite concubine of the late emperor, today the Japanese crown prince will give you a complete corpse. Someone come, give us some vintage poison! "

"No, no …" I don't want to die... "Your Highness, I beg of you …"

Huifei kneeled at the feet of Helian Xuanyin's wings, begging him with tears flowing down her face. Her moon-closing appearance had long ago been washed away by her tears, and her strands of hair were scattered and flying in disarray.

Helian Xuan Yi snorted and raised his leg to kick off Hui Fei. He said with a cold and disdainful sneer, "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have done it this way! This prince wishes for you to die with pride and determination like my mother, so that you won't lose face for your son! "

Violet Garden froze for a moment. She had just found out that Helian Xuanyin's mother had passed away a long time ago. In other words, the empress dowager was not the biological mother of the Profound Wings of Helian?
