Chapter 476 Bei Yunting's Dual Identity
Chapter 476 Bei Yunting's Dual Identity
"He should have known my identity long ago, but he always thought I didn't know who I was. So he didn't want to kill me when he seriously injured me today, but to warn me not to have any thoughts that I shouldn't have. He told me that even if I knew the truth, I must pretend that I knew nothing and be an obedient dog under his command."
Ji Chilian chuckled, his eyes gleaming with coldness, like a wild animal: "In fact, I have always suspected him. Ever since I knew that Princess Lianhe was Bei Lianhe and that Bei Lianhe had a relationship with the Apocalypse Sect, I have always suspected that the leader of the Apocalypse Sect was actually Bei Yunting. But he hid it so well that I could never be sure. Until today, when he ordered me to bring back Bei Lianhe's body, I was sure that the leader of the Apocalypse Sect was him."
Only then did Yi Qianhuan connect all the clues together.
It can be said that the curse in Bei Lianhe's body was prepared to deal with her.
That was a trump card specially prepared by the leader of the Apocalypse Church in order to kill her.
Therefore, in order to ensure that this trump card works, the leader of the Apocalypse Church cannot allow any mistakes to occur.
Bei Lianhe's corpse was an 'error' that could cause the curse to become ineffective.
Therefore, Bei Yunting had to bring back Bei Lianhe's body to ensure that everything was safe.
"Only the leader of the Apocalypse Cult would care about Bei Lianhe's body, so the moment Bei Yunting wanted to take back the body, his true identity was exposed. Haha, it's really ridiculous. He killed me just for his great cause, but in the end, for his great cause, he exposed his identity that he had hidden for many years."
"He thinks he has done everything perfectly, but he doesn't know that I have wanted to kill him for a long time. Huan'er, as long as Bei Yunting is eliminated, the curse on you will break by itself. It's not that I don't care about your safety." Ji Chilian said here, and rubbed his fingers gently on the palm of Yi Qianhuan's hand.
Yi Qianhuan's heart trembled uncontrollably.
"I know." Yi Qianhuan not only knew that Ji Chilian would not joke about her life, but she also knew that when Ji Chilian found out that his enemy was right in front of him, he could still remain rational in the excitement and consider her situation.
He had planned everything, calculated everything, and he had never gambled with her safety from the beginning.
It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. Even if Yi Qianhuan didn't hear Ji Chilian express his feelings, she understood everything.
Likewise, she realized her feelings.
"I will kill Bei Yunting with you." Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath, "Not only your parents, but my parents also died because of Bei Yunting. This man deserves to die, I must kill him!"
"You have been dragged into this. I know very well that I can't stop you from seeking revenge, and I respect your choice. Huan'er, I will stand by you, but there are always people I don't want to be involved with." Ji Chilian stared into Yi Qianhuan's eyes, "Huan'er, I know you will understand me."
Yi Qianhuan understood the hidden meaning of Ji Chilian's words, and she sighed: "Prime Minister Shen will not listen to me."
"Use your identity to suppress him. He has always hoped that Yunzhao Country could produce a wise man. As a national god, you are dedicated to the people. You are the kind of person he most wants to follow. He will definitely listen to what you say." Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan clasped their fingers and stared into Yi Qianhuan's eyes.
Yi Qianhuan looked at his pale face and could even hear his heavy breathing due to the huge pain he was enduring.
It is really hard to refuse a request from someone like Ji Chilian.
"I'll give it a try." Yi Qianhuan finally agreed.
After letting Yi Mobao stay in the room to take care of Ji Chilian, Yi Qianhuan walked through the corridor to the back garden, and saw Shen Xiang standing in front of the flower bed.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, including peonies, herbaceous peonies, roses, peaches and plums. The blooming flowers, accompanied by a rich fragrance, completely enveloped Shen Xiang.
Prime Minister Shen was not wearing his official uniform today, so he looked less stern and even his expression was gentle. He was holding a watering can in his hand and watering the flowers in the flower bed.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Shen Xiang said with a smile: "The flowers in the National God's Mansion are well-maintained. Each one is blooming beautifully, making people feel happy just looking at it."
"Minister Shen has watered these flowers very well. If he gets tired of the disputes in the court, he can find an acre of good farm and take care of the flowers and plants, which is also an elegant thing to do." As Yi Qianhuan spoke, she moved lightly and came to stand beside Minister Shen.
"The national god is right. I do plan to set off tomorrow and go to my private residence on the outskirts of the city to spend my old age with my wife."
Yi Qianhuan was slightly stunned, and all the words he wanted to say to persuade her froze in his mouth.
"I submitted a petition a month ago, asking the emperor to allow me to retire and return home because of my old age and frailty." Shen Xiang retracted his gaze and continued to water the flowers in front of him carefully. "At first, the emperor did not agree. No matter what I said, the emperor never agreed. Just last night, after Bei Lianhe died, the emperor sent an imperial edict to my house, allowing me to retire and return home."
"Bei Yunting knows that Prime Minister Shen has a lot of power in the court, and he is worried that you will become a great help to Ji Chilian... No, it should be said that you have always been a help to Chilian. It can even be said that if it weren't for your willingness to help back then, Chilian would not even have the chance to live to this day."
"Hey, God of the Nation, please don't make me sound so great. In fact, I am just an ordinary person, and my life is not even as comfortable as that of the wealthy masters of ordinary families." Shen Xiang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Just like at the beginning, I knew that Zi Ruo was framed by someone, but I could only watch him being wrongly accused of treason and ordered to be executed by the late emperor."
Yi Qianhuan fell into silence.
Ziruo, this is the nickname of the former crown prince and also Ji Chilian’s biological father.
"The day Ziruo died was also a sunny day like this." Shen Xiang raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes slightly watery. "I will never forget that day. At noon, Bei Yunting ordered me to be the executioner in order to test my loyalty."
"Prime Minister Shen, you..." Yi Qianhuan was greatly shocked, and looked at Prime Minister Shen with disbelief in his eyes.
Seeing Shen Xiang's dejected expression, Yi Qianhuan's heart felt like it was being grasped by a big hand, and it hurt so much: "Bei Yunting is so disgusting!"
Bei Yunting must be aware that Prime Minister Shen and the former crown prince are close friends.
However, in order to so-called test Prime Minister Shen's loyalty, he actually asked Prime Minister Shen to personally serve as the executioner to order the beheading of the prince. This undoubtedly put a lifetime of shackles on Prime Minister Shen.
Shen Xiang will live in regret and guilt for killing his best friend with his own hands for the rest of his life!
