Chapter 22: Wei Lei Shan Situation
Chapter 22: Wei Lei Shan Situation
As soon as the heart blood was given to Li Chen hand, the figure that has been sitting motionless with everything that was happening has finally open his amber eyes.
Wei Lei Shan who has been frantically trying to lower her presence the whole time, her lip shutting tightly, scared to utter even make a tiny sound, has unconsciously gaze at the same time that the Regent King has opened his eyes.
The Queen mother heart immediately turn cold with an intense dark premonition as soon as amber eyes lock on each other while a great chill has run down her spine.
Wei Lei Shan lip opening and closing, words unable to let out as her body shudder in fear when her child shoot a smile her way, and what scared her the most was the fact that while the smile was very gentle and kind carrying a hint of affection a child has toward their mother but Rong Xen amber eyes was not the same as what his smile is.
The open amber eyes of the Regent King was exceptionally gloomy, carrying a very intense and complex storm of negative emotions with a bit of unhinged flavor on it.
"Ah... Ah..." after a few seconds of getting a hold of herself, Wei Lei Shan was finally able to speak but only to utter a very unintelligent words as she find Rong Xen so very terrifying at this moment!
The scared voice of the Queen Mother immediately got everyone attention, before they move their gazes toward where the currently terrified woman was looking at, and has immediately saw the smiling Regent King, but as soon as they saw his amber eyes, everyone felt the chill run down their spine as they warily gaze at the sitting figure before them.
Even the Young Emperor choose to remain silent, feeling that the Regent King is currently doesn't feel right at the moment.
Only Li Chen has remain unperturbed, heart feeling ached at the current state of mind of his little Xen, before walking toward him and standing up behind, Li Chen shadow somehow half covering the Regent King from behind, like it was trying to engulf and keep him safe from anything that come his way.
Li Chen hand rose as he gently caress the silky hair of the still smiling Regent King, not disturbed over the fact that this time he didn't get any reaction out from his action, only dark ink eyes glinting with comfort as he gaze down at the person he cared the most in the whole world.
Everyone eyes couldn't help but follow Li Chen entire movements, unconscionably restraining their breath, their eyes widening as they watch his every action with bated breath.
Obviously, the Regent King might appear serene at the moment but their entire instinct has been screaming at them about how dangerous the Regent King was really is just after they took a good look at his amber eyes.
That was obviously the eyes of someone that is currently aren't in their right state of mind, it was so gloomy that it causes signal in their mind, specially when they saw the savage light that it contain deep within it.
Yun purple eyes couldn't help but gaze at the two figure with complicated emotions, specially after seeing the two interactions with each others, while at the same time his old friend remain lay unconscious on the arm of Bai Fu that has began to silently watch about the scene before them with slightly excited glint still on his now cold eyes.
As he turn his attention back at the Young Jun and Regent King, from long ago, Yun suddenly remember his meeting with the mother of this Young Jun in the past after when he saw a glimpse of the future of the still young child before.
"The person who has the mark of a snowflake on their body, close to their heart, will be the person that can change this boy fate and destiny.
That person will be the catalyst to change the life of this boy.
I can see that red string of fate, intertwine on each other, it was something very deep but twisted at the same time, something that has been... what this boy has been looking for, a very very long time.
You could say that they are the catalyst on each other fate.
Good or Bad... I don't know, but at least, in this life time, on this time and world, it will be a good thing for this boy life."
Just that single moment of chance of this two people meeting each other, and everything has change.
Two special existence, one who was destined to die has live while the other one who was no longer destined to be the Future Emperor.
And as Yun gaze at this two special existence that the world rule itself seemed to favor, fitted in a very unusual way while at the same time felt the same flavor of smell that these two people were alike in some ways.
At least in a ruthless way, these two people seemed to be exactly the same, Yun was perfectly sure that the Regent King was that kind of a person as the Young Jun before them, he might be different slightly but the core was the same, purple eyes glancing to the terrified Queen Mother as he remember the look in the Regent King amber eyes.
Suddenly purple eyes emit a flash of enlightenment before closing his eyes, bad or good, everyone has cause and effect of their own actions.
Everyone in the world is connected in Karma, either past, present and future life, everything in some way are all connected.
Just as what happen to the Bai Family, as well as the cause of his action on telling the glimpse of the future events that he once saw in the past before, everything that will happen this time was all the cause of the Queen Mother own actions.
It was finally Wei Lei Shan turn to face the result of what she has done in the past, specially to the Royal bloodline of the Imperial Family.
As Snow felt the gently cares on top of his head, envious and longing of emotion flash by while feeling warmth over his heart despite the fact that all the negative emotions of the original Rong Xen was storming all over his entire body and mind.
Right at this moment, Snow is Rong Xen, and Rong Xen is Snow, the two of them are one and the same.
Other Granter might not do what Snow was doing now because of the strong danger of having the chance to be consume by the Original Soul along with forgetting their own identity but Snow has that scary ability of his to have a calm mind no matter what emotions he might feel, even if he has the appearance of a person in madness, his mind will retain that certain calmness.
Rong Xen softly sigh as he spoke with heartfelt words but his voice was so cold and doesn't carry even a hint of emotions, "Mother... Don't you know? I have long been suspicious about you... but no matter what... you were my mother after all. So... even when my poison seemed to get stronger and harder to deal with every single time after a few days of visiting you, it was really too coincidental and suspicious but I still decided to spend time with you because I really love you mother, so I have hesitated of how I'll deal you."
He has truly love his own mother with all his heart, so even when there was something wrong about Wei Lei Shan, Rong Xen has still hesitated, and that hesitation, in the end has cause him his own life, along with his little Nie.
He was gambling, was grabbing that last end of straw that everything that was currently happening was not related to his own mother at that, but in the end, he was wrong all along, it was indeed his mother that was causing everything that was happening.
And he finally know the entire reasons about it too, despite sleeping all the time, he still know the main truth about why he has suffered and died in the end.
Who would have thought, that the loving husband and wife on his memory of growing up wasn't the real truth on what he saw with his own eyes after all? That it was all a big fat lie and his Father Emperor love was not reciprocate and his Queen Mother has someone else that she love, and that person turn out to be the father of the person he has love.
This truth and betrayal make his heart scream in pain at the mere thought of it all!
"Don't you know how I live my life every single day? It was so tiring and so painful... but the thing was... there was nothing to describe the feeling I felt when every thing that I have suffer was all cause by my own mother."
Every single day, there was no time to relax, every single day, he cannot let his guard down, every single day, he couldn't help but think if this time, if he was finally going to die?
In every waking moment, he worried about the Rong Dynasty, worried about the nephew of his being left behind, worrying about the fact that his own Mother will be bullied when he was gone since he know for a fact that she doesn't really have that much capabilities to protect her own self!
But, who would have thought that it was the doing of his Queen Mother all along?
What about being worried about her being bullied?
Snow suddenly laugh out loud, as the temperature in the room dropping by quickly, as cold chill run down in everyone spine, besides Li Chen of course as he only felt distress over his little Xen.
Li Chen who has been silently watching, wanted to reach out and wrapped his arm all around him, protecting him from all the pain and suffering, wanting nothing more to keep him safe and happy, but he knows that his little Xen has to get it all out since it wasn't good to bottle it in.
Snow laughed and laugh so much that it sound like he was howling out all the pain and agony he has suffered, totally immerse at the feelings and thoughts of the original Rong Xen, allowing him to release all the feelings, burden and frustration that he has been carrying all along.
On this moment, Rong Xen openly confronting his Mother, a chance that he can only do at this moment on, feeling grateful at the Soul who was fulfilling his wish and regrets, not knowing that there was never a Granter that allowed their self to let out the original soul for fear of complications, only Snow was able to do it without worry.
Rong Xen continue to laugh for awhile before suddenly turning into a chuckled before it turned quiet as he smiled, which was far more terrifying than the laugh he has just did since this one single smile contain an overwhelming madness because as any sane person that might find themselves in Rong Xen situations, that person has a very high chance of giving up completely and has been broken a long time ago.
Snow felt admiration about Rong Xen stubbornness and will power of moving forward despite all the negative emotions that has just brimming up silently inside of him.
Rong Xen was a bit like his past life after all, that responsibility was so heavy, but they still has to keep going, and not stopping unless they finally died trying.
"Hey Mother... you did all this because you hated Father Emperor and love another man?"
Hearing the late Emperor in the Regent King mouth, the terrified Queen Mother suddenly gotten her strength, seeing that there was really nothing to hide, she finally let out all the feeling that she has been burying and hidden from all these years as amber eyes flash with utter loathing and hatred as her voice scream loudly for all the people to hear.
"Why can't I hate him? I never love that man! It was because of him that I cannot be together with the person I love the most! Why does that Emperor has to get in the way of our love? If it wasn't for him, I have been married to my love, and live our life happy and safe with a family of our own!"
Rong Nie couldn't help but clench his hands tightly that the blood started seeping out his skin, red eyes shooting flames of rage at the screaming Queen Mother before him.
So, why do you have to kill your own children? My Prince Father? was what he wanted to say the most at the moment but has chosen to remain silent knowing that this has to be done by his Imperial Uncle.
Rong Xen amber eyes, gloomily watch the screaming Wei Lei Shan as he silently listen at the hatred words spoken by her mouth, waiting till she started panting from the emotion and screaming she just let out and showed.
As a person who has a failed love, doesn't really know if it right and wrong and doesn't have the right to dismiss anyone feeling of affections, specially seeing the love between the Granter and the person called Jun Li Chen that made Rong Xen feel so envious and long to have, but this person before him, he cannot really let go.
No matter if they are right or wrong, and besides as Rong Xen smiled derisive, he has never known how deeply naive a person his own mother was from all this years of knowing her.
"Alright, Father Emperor might have been at fault but you are also guilty! Love? What love are you talking about Mother? Safe and happy with the man you love? With a happy family? Huh! Mother stop daydreaming! Don't forget that you were just a mere daughter of a low official in the Royal Court with no power at all! Just base from your rank you have no right at all! And don't think that I don't know that the man you love is Wang Lau! The current Right Prime Minister of Rong Dynasty, even before he became a high rank official, he was born from a very prestigious Family, there was no chance for you guys to be together happily even if Father Emperor didn't get in your so called way! Even if you love each other, in the end you are destined to be just one of his concubine!"
Amber eyes shooting disdain at the suddenly paling Wei Lei Shan as he continue to utter the real hard fact right before this person, his Father Emperor is special and a rare man at that.
Despite the fact that Wang Lau truly love his Mother, it doesn't change the fact that he still married someone else and has his own child! He could have waited for Wei Lei Shan but he still has other woman with him!
But despite being the Emperor, his Father Emperor remain true and has only one person in the Harem despite having the right and power to have as many people as he can!
Just base from their personalities and actions alone, his Father Emperor is definitely the better man between them!
But of course he knows that you couldn't force a person affections but why does she has to do all of this, specially in this way?
"How about you think about it real hard Wei Lei Shan! You have no chance to be happy with Wang Lau since he won't be able to make you his main wife! Hah! A dream is a dream after all, its different from a reality!"
The Regent King smiled in utter craziness, amber eyes glinting up in madness, ignoring the frightful gazes toward him about his current insane appearance that he was showing, he, Rong Xen, has been teetering in madness all along!
That kind of pain, that kind of suffering, and that kind of betrayal of your love one was enough reason to cause a strong willed person to break!
"If you really love each other then the two of you would have done everything else and fought back when Father Emperor has finally set his eyes on you in the past! But you two were scared of the Imperial Power right? The both of you are just so scared that your love wasn't enough to gamble your lives! Your lives was far more important than your so called love because between love and life, you both choose the same thing and that is Life!"
That kind of love, Snow will never want. It might be completely different depending from other people but Snow will not allow his lover to suffer and watch another person to take possession of the person he will love!
That person will and can only be his!
He or She is not allowed to be touched by others!
So Snow eyes can only showed utter disdain and disgust to Wei Lei Shan, Rong Xen feeling the Granter emotions and thought, felt like he has the strength as he continue on.
"A Happy Family? How can someone like you that can even kill and torture her own children can have a happy family?"
Wei Lei Shan body shaking in panic and fright along with rage and hatred as she was finally unable to hold it as she bellow with utter disgust.
"Do you know the feeling of being touch by a person you hated with every fiber of your being!?Especially after learning that you are pregnant with his child, do you know how I felt on that time? I both felt utter relief because he won't be able to touch me for sometime and deep disgust at the thought of having given birth of his children! I thought you were slightly different but even you are to be damn!"
At this words Rong Xen felt like he was being consumed with extreme hatred at the thought of this person disdain toward his respected Father Emperor and of his dead Two Brothers!
With ruthless and savage amber eyes, Rong Xen stared at this so called Mother of his, "This King finally decided on what to do with you!"
Wei Lei Shan eyes pants with emotion as she watch with hysteria as a harsh light suddenly flash on Rong Xen amber eyes as he spoke words that cause her body to lose all her strength.
"Since you are all doing this with your so called love then I will let the two of you be subject with disgrace and your love to be slander by all the people in the world! Wang Lau and Wei Lei Shan has secretly collude together while trampling the feeling of the Late Emperor as the two of them planned to kill the entire Royal Family in order to get the Imperial Power for themselves. The Queen Mother, vicious and ruthless as she seduced the Late Emperor in the past, killing her own children in cold blooded way while Wang Lau, the Right Prime Minister, treacherous and cruel, as he has uses his own lover to secretly deal with the Royal Family, greedy and corrupt for the Throne in the Rong Dynasty but has died a miserable death and the two people are scorn for the generations to come!"
Rong Xen smiling cruelly at the woman with her eyes widened in horror, "You... you..."
"How about it? This King make a record of it and every word that this King have spoken will come true and be written in the History so that every generation of people will remember it for eternity!"
Wei Lei Shan mind teetering as every words spoken by this supposed child of her, cause nothing but terror and fear over her heart, finally aware that this person has obviously gone mad, amber eyes widen in alarm at what she was hearing.
"How could you be cruel?"
"What? How could This King be cruel? But Mother! This King learn it all from you! If you could even kill your own children, then This King can also do all these thing isn't it? Besides This King are far more merciful than you are, you know?"
You are the person who made me this way!
"Because This King won't be killing you! This King doesn't want to be like you after all. This King will let you live your life for as long as you can, even better when your hair turn white! I'll let you see and hear about how the people will view the two of you for as long as you live."
Ruthlessness and madness brimming in amber eyes as Snow look at this Queen Mother, as the original Rong Xen slowly letting go, his soul turning weak a bit, seeming knowing that his wishes and regrets are going to be fulfilled soon.
For others, this woman might seem a sad person and the late Emperor might be also in the wrong, while Rong Xen action toward his own mother no matter what she has done was at most cruel, but Wei Lei Shan was also a cold blooded person in her own way.
Everyone will always has different opinions and look in what happens in someone else life, but at least Snow doesn't feel anything wrong about what he was doing.
"Soon Mother, this King will also let you personally see how the man you love will end up with, specially the moment of his death! This King will let you experience the feeling of Little Nie and I felt when my Two Imperial Brothers died!"
Hearing what might happen to the man she love the most in her entire life, ignoring the hard true facts that Rong Xen has just spoken before, Wei Lei Shan finally lose her mind as she stared in hatred at the person before her.
Wang Lau has and will always be the bottom line of Wei Lei Shan, even when she felt a bit affection toward this child before isn't enough for her to let him go.
Not in the past and not even now.
"Hateful! You're the same as your Father! I utterly despite all of you who carry the Royal bloodline! Its feel so disgusting to have given birth to every single one of you! I want this Rong family to disappear completely! I should have finish you off when I have the chance! I curse you to have a miserable life like I did! You will also get your retribution!"
Queen Mother eyes filled with utter revulsion and hatred as she look at this person that she has given birth with as she felt deep regret about hesitating to truly kill this one, a slight hesitation and it will cause Wang Lau and her to suffer in the end.
Li Chen who has been watching patiently and silently was unable to stop himself any longer as he frown when he heard the hurtful words that will definitely cause his little Xen to feel pain, dark ink eyes filled with distress and a bit more love, as he move to the left side of the chair and knelt with one of his knee, as he stare deeply with gentle love at the person before him.
Taking one of Little Xen small soft hand, he place a kiss at the back of his Little Xen palm, as he utter a simple words that contain boundless power of promise.
"We will be happy."
Snow madness has finally recede after taking the sight of the intimate action of Li Chen while hearing the promise words of his, amber eyes calming down before his pupil was filled with fondness and love as he look back at Li Chen dark ink eyes.
Turning at the overwhelm woman before him, he wave in the air and a shadow guard immediately appeared before them as Snow stood up from the chair, before he walk a bit near to the woman along with Li Chen that has not let go of his hand.
"Wei Lei Shan... This King is different from you. I'll live with the person I love, and live a very long and happy life."
This time, Snow will live a bit more longer along with the person he love.
Amber eyes watch calmly as the Shadow Guard follow his order as the panic Queen Mother scream in pain when her ankles and wrist tendon was broke up, while the sound of bone cracking loudly echoed out soon along with a howl of pain.
He might promise to let her live a long life, but it doesn't mean that it will be a happy one. He will let her live a very hard and miserable life.
All her life, she will live a life of being unable to move by herself, needing the other people to take care of everything she needed.
Cannot move her hand, cannot stand up, and unable to move her entire body.
Unable to even commit a suicide, though Snow will later remove her tongue after he dealt with everything else.
"Get her back to Emerald Palace, make sure nothing bad happen to her and keep her alive."
Turning his attention to the rest of people in the hall, Snow quickly dismiss them since Li Chen will handle the aftermath after this, before his gaze has stop to the silent Young Emperor, though he couldn't hide the elation on his red eyes.
"Little Nie... Imperial Uncle is tired. We will speak later alright?"
Rong Nie red eyes stare a bit at his seemingly tired Imperial Uncle, before his gaze turn to the person beside him, a few second later he nod his head as he obediently left.
"Rest well Imperial Uncle. I'll come back when your not tired anymore."
As for the Young Jun? Rong Nie doesn't need to say anything anymore, that man is very infatuated to his Imperial Uncle, the one where he will do everything on his power to make the person they love happy and safe.
Silent remain for a few seconds after everything left, before Snow move and lean his forehead on Li Chen warm chest surprising him, before Snow felt the man arm wrapped around his small figure after getting his surprise, Snow couldn't help but leaned more forward that his entire body feel like it was entirely glued to the other person as he felt warmth wrapped all around him.
"We will be happy." Snow repeated what Li Chen has spoken before, seemingly trying to question his words now that there are only two of them.
Li Chen blink his dark ink eyes before smiling gently as he pulled the person on his arm more tightly toward himself, his lip gently brushing over soft black hair.
"Yes, we will be happy."
Getting the confirmation from Li Chen, Snow smiled happily with a content expression.
