Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Father Emperor, You Are Also a Murderer

"Eunuch Qinglin, you dog of a servant, you have the audacity to spout such treacherous and sacrilegious words. Guards, take this ignorant dog of a servant and throw him out to be beaten to death with sticks,"

Upon hearing Eunuch Qinglin’s words, the Empress, beside herself with panic, shrieked shrilly.

"Let him speak!"

Murderous and furious intent swirled in Nan Shi’s eyes, but he still allowed Qinglin to continue.

Qinglin clenched his teeth and then stated firmly, "Your Majesty, are you aware that whenever you visited other concubines, the Empress’s chamber would have its lamp lit all night long? She did not sleep at all, not for the entire night. How many nights are there like that in a month? In a year? Her health surely deteriorated for this reason."

"Why, why have you not told me these things?"

Nan Shi roared like an angry lion.

This time, before Qinglin could even open his mouth, Nan Li spoke out with sarcasm—

"Naturally, it’s because the Mother Empress did not want to tell you. Every time you returned from other concubines, the Mother Empress would have your favorite dishes prepared and then wait silently by your side. She never shared these grievances with you because... she has her own dignity!"

"Mother Empress told me no less than a hundred times that if not for waiting for Xiaobai to return, she could not bear to stay in the Imperial Palace for a moment longer."

Nan Li’s voice grew more resentful with each sentence.

Nan Shi looked lost, stumbling, his gaze blank.

He truly did not know...

That Mingmeng harbored such thoughts.

She must have loathed him too much.

He choked up and began, "I have always thought that she did not despise the palace; she could stay here for me."

"Father, your behavior is truly hypocritical!"

Nan Li scoffed coldly, his rebuke merciless, "The Mother Empress originally agreed to enter the palace because of her love for you. But what was your reciprocation? It was just the attitude you displayed just now; you don’t even know her inner longing for freedom. You do not deserve to say you love her!"

Nan Li was trembling with anger.

He took out a pill prepared by Chu Baihan and swallowed it, finally feeling some relief.

"I, I do not deserve to love her?"

Nan Shi’s mind echoed with Nan Li’s words, utterly dazed.

"Guards, throw out the Empress."

Nan Li had completely lost his patience.

Nan Xing nodded and dragged the Empress out herself.

The Empress struggled frantically.

She knew all too well that if she was thrown out, she would really be unable to lift her head in dignity again.

With her child already in trouble, she could not afford any more mishaps.

"Your Majesty, save me, please save your servant, I realize my mistake, I truly acknowledge my fault. It was just that my love for you was too great, so I imitated my sister’s appearance..."

"Nan Xing, shut her up. She does not deserve to call the Mother Empress ’sister’."

Nan Li ordered coldly once again.

Hearing the Empress refer to the Mother Empress in such a manner made him feel sick.

"Yes, Your Highness Crown Prince."

Nan Xing swiftly slapped the Empress across the face.

Being skilled in martial arts, and now seeking to vent the Crown Prince and Princess’s anger, she did not hold back.

Thus, quite quickly, the Empress’s face swelled into the shape of a pig’s head.

By the time she was dragged out, the Empress’s screams still made their way inside.

But Nan Shi was beyond caring about that now, his mind was full of the words Nan Li had spoken.

"Your Majesty, this servant has been presumptuous and deserves to be punished. Please, execute me. However, having spoken these words, I die without regrets,"

Eunuch Qinglin kowtowed to Nan Shi before standing up.

He pulled out the sword of a guard beside him, intending to commit suicide.

Nan Li, of course, wouldn’t just stand by and watch him kill himself.

He thought to intervene, but at that moment, another figure was quicker than him.

Nan Shi quickly got in front of Eunuch Qinglin and grasped the blade with his bare hand.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Seeing the blood streaming down Nan Shi’s fingers, Eunuch Qinglin was frantic and panicked.

But Nan Shi acted as if he felt no pain at all.

He spoke in a complex tone, "The words you just said were well spoken. I have indeed been foolish and failed the Empress. She once said you were a man of utmost loyalty; she was not wrong about you."

After saying this, he knocked the sword away.

Eunuch Qinglin’s expression became dazed.

Is His Majesty... sparing his life?

He looked at his master, whom he had served for the greater part of his life, with a complex gaze, his feelings indescribable.

His Majesty is...

Still savable.

However, the Crown Prince and the Princess probably will not give him another chance to make amends.

"Your Majesty, you have injured your hand, this servant will fetch the Imperial Physician for you," Li Yu cried out at that moment.

"Shut up." Nan Shi was short on patience, and he rebuked Li Yu in a cold voice.

Li Yu shrunk his neck and didn’t dare to make another sound.

Nan Li’s sharp gaze swept over Li Yu, and he quickly realized that this man was the one Eunuch Qinglin had spoken of.

"Lili, I’m sorry to you and your late mother; I have also failed you," Nan Shi apologized to Nan Li in a very disheveled manner.

"What’s the use of saying these things now, Father? Mother... will never come back to life, and last night’s events cannot be undone. Little Brother and I can no longer forgive you."

The words "can no longer forgive you" echoed in Nan Shi’s ears like a series of sharp stabs.

His eyes reddened.

Mingmeng, before she died, had repeatedly entrusted him to take good care of these two children.

"Your late mother’s last wish was for me to take good care of you," he said in a choked voice.

But Nan Li’s gaze became even more mocking.

"Father, do you think you have taken good care of us? I am unharmed, but Little Brother’s heart has been injured by you again and again. In fact, this might well be the gravest mistake Mother made. She is dead, and you are the murderer. How could she entrust us to a murderer?"

Nan Li said these harsh words without any reservation.

The word "murderer" reached Nan Shi’s ears, making him feel as if he couldn’t breathe.

He looked up, his gaze frenzied as he looked at Nan Li, then said, "No, I truly intended to take good care of you..."

"Enough, Father. If you really want to make amends, then just defend the capital city properly and stop causing trouble for Little Brother. She is already having a tough time resisting the enemy in Tongzhou."

Nan Li spoke indifferently.

"What? Hanhan has gone to Tongzhou? Why did no one inform me of this?"

Nan Shi’s voice was filled with urgency.

Tongzhou was so dangerous; if Hanhan went there, wouldn’t it be easy for something untoward to happen?

Seeing how anxious Nan Shi was, there wasn’t a trace of sympathy in Nan Li’s eyes.

He said coldly, "Father, last night when Xiaobai set out, you were still indulging in your pleasures. How could we inform you?"
