As much as Xing felt bad for suddenly dumping everything about his beloved wife to her brother, she knew it is necessary."Forgive you? For what?", Xing turned at Takano. Takanas.h.i.+ still wasn"t out of her hold and was still hanging with his feet dangling.
"Everything! I"m sorry...", Takano tried to change her kneeling position but she couldn"t as her entire body felt pain.
"I"m sorry I wanted to be the Empress... I wanted to make my husband Emperor. So I used Weiye to start the war against Sky Kingdom. I"m sorry...", she sobbed as she could not bear the pain.
Rijun who was hearing everything from the outside clenched his fists wrinkling the robes his father gifted him for no reason the day before.
Takano did that...? She started the unnecessary war that almost depleted our treasury?
"And...?", Xing probed more sensing her being truthful. A little pain had made her obedient.
"I... I...", Takano went all limp and she looked like she was about to faint.
Well, her bones are broken in three places.. It is a surprise she haven"t fainted till now, Xing could understand.
"You poisoned my father! Because he was a hurdle to your plans, you poisoned MY FATHER! ", Xing said gritting her teeth and she could sense her brother kneeling dejected on the ground on the other side of the door.
Sorry, brother! You need to know.
"The medicines you served him contained traces of poison too. And when Xu Mama doubted you, your brother killed her. How will I forgive you? And as if that"s not enough, you drugged me and hired these men to r*pe me. Forgiving you... Never! I"m no benovelent saintess. I"m the Divine Ruler who rains justice on those who deserves it ", Xing looked at Takano half consciously lying on the floor.
" Did you see this Takanas.h.i.+? How your sister is licking my shoes? I remember the day I met her... She was kneeling in front of me then too... Begging to let her inside my kingdom", Xing chuckled, "Funny how I was the Empress back then when she knelt and now I"m someone with no status and still.... Your sister is the one kneeling"
Xing could see Takanas.h.i.+"s eyes getting darker and he was emitting dark aura and he tried to get out of her hold. Xing could sense the aura similar to the one she felt back in the island, the aura similar to Bai Li"s brother but a lot weaker.
So what? Takanas.h.i.+ made a deal with the dark one and he lent his power and he is thinking he could beat me with this measly power? Xing laughed in heart mockingly and she decided to let him have his hopes up.
Xing loosened her hold on Takanas.h.i.+ as if she could not bind him anymore and pulled in her power and her hair returned black and she even winced feigning fear.
"Ha ha ha....", Takanas.h.i.+ laughed as he floated in thick black smoke and reached towards her.
"See my power!", the black smoke enveloped Xing but Xing didn"t feel a thing because her power was stronger and she already neutralised his power"s effects on her.
"Oh, no!", Xing shouted and made it seem like she was trying to get out of the black smoke. Just when the black smoke get near her she"d increase her power and she made it seem like she was struggling to stand against Takanas.h.i.+"s dark power.
Rijun who was watching through the door felt like a tiger is playing with its prey before devouring it whole.
Seeing his power overwhelming her power, Takanas.h.i.+ got more and more confident, "Serve me... I"ve ways wanted you. I"ll let you go!", he sneered.
"Eww!", Xing felt irked and she cringed hard. Guess playing with him is enough.
"Times is up! Say your last words, Takanas.h.i.+!", Xing smirked as the golden glow from her pushed away the darkness around Takanas.h.i.+ and within seconds enveloped all the dark smoke and devoured it like a hungry python devouring a rodent.
"You.... How...", he stuttered as he was pushed at the wall once more by the invisible force from her.
"Ha! You thought you are powerful, fool! In the end, I am a tiger and you are still a fox! Since when in history did a fox beat a tiger?", she sneered.
"If you hurt me, there will be war!", he shouted and his entire body shook in fear seeing the one looking at him like a speck of dust.
"w.a.n.g Zhi!", he screamed for the dark one who gave him this power. If he is here he"d survive.
Xing looked around and waited for this "w.a.n.g Zhi" to appear. Who is that? Could he be the dark one, Bai Li"s brother?
Then her thoughts wandered... What is Bai Li"s real name, again? I don"t know, right? w.a.n.g... So Bai Li"s surname should be w.a.n.g too too, right? So what could his name be...?
w.a.n.g Xin? w.a.n.g Xun? w.a.n.g Xi? w.a.n.g Zheng?
But... not if he is his half-brother.... Hmm... May be I should ask him the next time I meet him. I really should change my habit of giving people names and start addressing them by their original name....
"w.a.n.g Zhi!!", Takanas.h.i.+"s scream snapped her from her thoughts.
Seeing her smirking at him, Takanas.h.i.+ got more scared and a dripping sound was heard making Xing grimace.
Did he just pee himself?
Xing could hear the gentle sobs of her brother from outside. He must be devastated knowing his wife poisoned his father and he who lived with them never noticed anything and let his father suffer. His brother is a filial person and she knew her brother cannot handle this truth.
But it happened and the biggest danger is averted, thankfully by the timely action of the Emperor and everyone has to forgive themselves and look forward to the future.
Xing didn"t want to stay here any longer.
*Snap*
A crisp and sharp noise was heard from Takanas.h.i.+"s neck and his limbs that were wriggling to get out of Xing"s hold became unmoving.
"What...? Why can"t I move...?", Takanas.h.i.+ stuttered as he could not feel anything below his neck.
"Ah! So you can still talk?", Xing didn"t care for his mumbling and said a bit peeved.
So a hurt spine won"t stop the tongue, huh.... Its nice to learn new things each day. Tomorrow I should learn Bai Li"s name, Xing decided.
Xing waved her hand and blood seeped from Takanas.h.i.+"s mouth and his tongue fell on the ground cut.
" Mmmm... Mmmmm", Takanas.h.i.+ could not speak.
Xing let her hold go and he fell face first on the floor and with his blood pooling around his face, he laid there like a smashed tomato.
"Well, you are not dead and there won"t be war, right? It would be a pity, though! Your crooked brain will work as usual but you have no way of expressing yourself. You cannot speak or write. h.e.l.l, you cannot even pee or p.o.o.p by yourself... You can"t even kill yourself or tell anyone you want to die... ", she laughed,
" This is amazing... And... Your chance of having a child is a big zero and the Kei family will be no more. Soon the Jin family will follow. Too bad... I feel bad for you, Takanas.h.i.+ ", she patted his cheek with her shoe,
"Just kidding.... I don"t feel bad, not even a bit... Well, a bit really... I cannot watch you struggle living your life. Now that... Is sad.",Xing made a pouty face but her eyes were looking at him with disgust.
She could see his dark eyes trying to look at her but Xing knew all he could see are her shoes.
Stay there, puny man! By my feet like the stinky dust you are!
Xing turned to see Takano already fainted. Even though she wanted to kill her, she is still carrying her brother"s son in her womb and Xing was unwilling to kill a child.
In the end the hands that poisoned her father are broken and won"t be fixed properly and the legs that ran to see her getting violated won"t walk properly anymore!
What is more devastating for a woman who likes to be praised as a beauty by others to lose her ability to walk?
Xing smirked. I guess living like a limpy lady with crooked hands would be a better punishment for you than being dead, right?
Xing took a deep breath and sealed all her powers back. If her chast.i.ty wasn"t threatened, she wouldn"t have used this power.
She has promised Chenglei that her heart, body and soul will belong to him only. She will not let another man touch her.
Xing felt really tired and as she opened the door, she saw her brother sitting beside the door and his entire face was red and his eyes were watery.
" I don"t want your wife near", "My father", was the words that were about to come out of her mouth but she stopped herself.
He is not just her father, he is their father. She would never ever say such a mean word to her brother. She knew how insecure he felt with her around in the beginning as he was an adopted son.
She was angry at her brother for not taking care of their father. She was angry at him for bringing in that woman who almost killed their father. And she was angry at herself for leaving them alone too. And right now, she didn"t want to play the blaming game as everything is resolved.
No one can hurt our family anymore! And that is more important.
"Brother!", she squatted beside him and held his hand and unconsciously her eyes filled with tears as she called him "brother".
I love you , brother. I missed you!
"Father is fine now, don"t blame yourself too much.... Your wife... You decide about her but keep her away from our father. He is putting up with her only because of Little Ruoxin", she spoke in a coaxing tone.
Rijun broke into tears holding her hands and Xing sat beside him for sometime and stood up and left after he composed himself.
She lost her way to get back to the carriage and suddenly she felt really bad in her body. Her heart paced really fast as if she was running and her entire body heated up and she felt weird all over.
She saw the mountains nearby and she went in to find some medicines for her ailment. She didn"t know what was wrong with her and when she searched for medicine, she couldn"t find any.
What is going on?
Without stopping, she walked deeper into the forest in the mountains and before she knew it, she didn"t know where she was.
She couldn"t even take a step forward and she felt hot all over and she wanted to tear all her clothes off of her.
