Chapter 219 Twin Flowers, One Dies, One Lives; One Lives, One Destroys
Nan Yaoxian only realized something was wrong after she woke up.
She was locked up in a completely unfamiliar place, her hands and feet were bound, and her blood vessels were still blocked. Her whole body felt like it was being gnawed by hundreds of ants, and she was in so much pain and itching that she wanted to scream.
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded.
She squinted and looked up, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets the next moment:
"It was you! You tied me up, didn't you? Let me go right now!"
However, the woman stood right in front of her, looking at her coldly without saying a word, her eyes filled with complex emotions—sympathy, pity, and regret.
Nan Yaoxian suddenly realized something, and her heart skipped a beat: "Where are the others?"
"Who?" Yu Feixian finally spoke, "Is it the protectors, the two elders, or the rest of the Southern Yue guards?"
Nan Yaoxian blurted out, "Of course, they own them all!"
Then there was another long silence.
Nan Yaoxian seemed to realize something, her expression shifting from initial shock and confusion to sudden realization and anger: "They're really dead? Really killed? Yu Feixian, are you insane! You're also a princess of Nan Yue! Why are you helping an outsider!"
Shocked beyond measure, she ignored the pain in her body and lunged forward, trying to reach Yu Feixian: "Father may love me, but he's treated you just as well. Why did you betray him? Why did you betray us? You ungrateful, treacherous wretch!!"
"You'll die a horrible death, you bastard, do you want to kill me too? You vile woman!..."
Yu Feixian let her rant until the girl was out of breath before she continued, "Do you remember that divination?"
The first divination performed by the holy maiden of Nanyue after reaching adulthood was at Tianchi Lake. It is said that she would receive the blessing of the gods, with an extremely high accuracy rate and a high degree of inspiration. The holy maiden, favored by the heavens, could even predict the prosperity of the nation.
Therefore, that divination was also called the Heavenly Divination, because it was a divination performed by Heaven through the hands of the Holy Maiden.
"Why don't you remember?"
Nan Yaoxian's chest heaved violently, and faint blue lines were spreading across her snow-white face, though she herself could not see them.
She sneered, "The divination says that the Great Qi War God will be the destroyer of Nan Yue, so we must kill him at all costs? We are doing this for Nan Yue, so why are you helping him!" As she spoke, she became agitated again, as if she wanted to bite the woman in front of her and devour her.
“You’re not entirely right. Actually, there’s still a glimmer of hope in the divination. If we can gain his mercy, Nan Yue can continue to exist. Otherwise, it won’t just be the Nan Yue royal family that will be destroyed, but the entire Bai Yue.”
The divination indicates that the person is fond of fighting. If Nan Yue angers him, he will spare no effort to annihilate the entire Nan Yue, and even other small countries in the surrounding area will be caught in the crossfire.
Nan Yaoxian was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood her meaning, her eyes filled with even more shock: "So what? So you choose to stand on his side to deal with us? To sacrifice your bloodline to save other countries? Are you out of your mind?! Are you some kind of saint?!"
Upon learning Yu Feixian's true thoughts, Nan Yaoxian was nearly driven mad with anger.
"We are your family! The Southern Yue royal family is your home! You want to destroy it to save outsiders? Are you crazy?! The victor is king, the loser is villain. Why do you believe that the treacherous and cunning Da Qi people will really keep their promise? If I really die, then the whole of Southern Yue will be in trouble! Only when we have the strength in our own hands can we have a chance to talk. You madman are handing over your life to the enemy! I'm going to kill you!"
"Will not."
Yu Feixian looked at her sister, who was almost driven to madness: "He promised me that as long as I helped him subdue Nan Yue and win over the hearts of the people, he would let the others go." "You believe him? What makes you think you can believe him? He won't even marry you! If what he said were true, then he should have made you the Seventh Prince's consort, had you bear a child, and used you as a bargaining chip to balance the two sides! He could break his promise, but you could have taken the child back to Nan Yue and used the emperor to command the other lords! But what did you do? You idiot, what did you do? You believed him just because he said a few words? Are you stupid?!"
Yu Feixian's face paled slightly. She had considered asking him for a child, but that person, that person...
"Things have come to this, you don't need to tell me all this. Anyway, I believe he definitely..."
"It's not that you don't need to, it's that you dare not, right? You're afraid that if I hit the nail on the head, you'll be a complete fool being played by him! Yu Feixian, you disgust me! You hypocritical, stupid, and heartless bitch! You'll regret it, he's been lying to you! You'll definitely regret it!"
"Since you still refuse to repent, then we have nothing more to say."
Yu Feixian clenched her fingers, looking into her sister's eyes: "This is the last time I'll see you. Don't worry, from now on, I will use your name to promote the integration of Nan Yue and Da Qi. Only time will tell right from wrong. As princesses of Nan Yue, we must be responsible for the people of Nan Yue. Nan Yue can change its royal family, but it cannot allow all its people to die innocently because of the selfishness of the royal family. I know you won't forgive me, and neither will Father. So let them hate me. We'll meet again at the Bridge of Helplessness."
After saying that, she gave Nan Yaoxian a deep look, then turned and left resolutely.
Nan Yaoxian, initially shocked and stunned by her words, almost roared after realizing what she had said: "Yu Feixian, get back here! Don't think you can cover up the truth that you've fallen in love with the Seventh Prince just by talking so righteously! If you weren't in love with him, why would you do so much for him? Come back here! Come back..."
As the heavy stone door closed, the girl's insults were completely shut out inside the artificial hill.
In the next four hours, the people inside will die because their bloodlines will be severed by the Gu worms, and they will never see the light of day again.
"Eldest...Second Imperial Sister."
When Yu Feixian came out, the Third Prince had been waiting outside for a long time.
He was timid and not very bright. His mother was of low status, just a palace maid who washed the feet of the King of Nanyue. He was ostracized from a young age.
Therefore, when the prince was needed to come to Daqi to deliver the letter of surrender and to serve as a hostage, he was unsurprisingly chosen.
The third prince knew he was useless, so he chose to obediently listen to orders.
But he didn't understand why the world had changed just because he woke up after a good night's sleep.
The domineering and powerful protectors and elders were gone, and even his arrogant and disdainful second sister had become a different person.
Yu Feixian glanced at her unloved younger brother, then looked away and said, "Let's go."
The third prince wanted to ask something, but he was afraid that asking too much would cause trouble.
He could only mumble an agreement and decided to go back to find Su Niang for an answer.
Su Niang was the woman from Da Qi who saved him that day. Although she was of lowly status, she was beautiful, kind, and intelligent. She patiently taught him many things he didn't understand and never looked down on him.
The Third Prince thought that his only good fortune in coming to Daqi was meeting Su Niang.
These two sisters are fighting for power, for differing political ideologies, not for men. I think they're way cooler, hehe~
