Chapter 264 Sorrow
Chapter 264 Sorrow
Nangong Qi felt as if a huge wave had risen in his mind. Memories of the past came rushing in like a surging tide along with Nangong Zhaolie's words. Frame after frame rolled madly in front of his eyes, and each frame was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into his heart.
The pain, fear and despair that had been buried for so long suddenly overwhelmed him like a flood.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and he suddenly held his head with both hands, as if this could stop the memories that flooded in like a tide from swallowing him up.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry burst out from the depths of his throat. The cry was filled with endless sorrow and pain, as if to vent all the injustice and suffering in the world: "Sister, I won't leave, don't abandon me! Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you!" His voice was hoarse and broken, echoing in the silent inner room, heartbreaking.
After a long time, Nangong Qi slowly raised his head. His originally clear eyes were now bloodshot and red, as if burning with two flames of anger.
He stared at Nangong Zhaolie intently, his eyes filled with hatred and determination, and said sternly: "My mother was not burned to death! She was already dead before the fire started..."
His voice trembled, and every word seemed to be stained with blood and tears. "After she drank the tonic given by the Queen, she suddenly became poisoned. Only then did she suddenly realize that the Queen had been putting a slow-acting poison in the tonic.
She knew that the palace was full of the Queen's spies and that she was powerless to save the situation. In order to protect me, she hurriedly arranged for the wet nurse to take me away. The wet nurse told me..."
At this point, Nangong Qi's tears burst out again, his body trembling violently, sobbing and saying: "Nanny said that if the Queen knew I was still alive, she would definitely send people to wipe out the roots.
In order to save me, my wet nurse fed her sleeping son medicine and placed him on my bed.
Because there is only one substitute, and my sister refuses to leave... "The last few words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, filled with endless grief and hatred, making the air in the room seem to solidify.
When Nangong Zhaolie heard Nangong Qi's tearful story, he felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue, and he stood there in a daze.
His eyes widened in shock and suspicion, his mouth slightly open in disbelief, as if he had just heard the most absurd thing in the world. He couldn't help but blurt out, "How could this be... How is this possible? The Queen has always been gentle and virtuous. She wouldn't even have the heart to step on an ant. How could she do such a vicious thing?"
His voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of self-doubt and confusion, as if he was unwilling to believe that the queen he had always known was such a vicious person.
Nangong Qi looked up suddenly as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. His already red eyes seemed to be dripping with blood as he stared at Nangong Zhaolie.
Suddenly, a crazy and shrill laugh broke out from the depths of his throat. The laughter was particularly harsh in the silent palace, as if a wounded beast was roaring in despair.
He laughed so hard that he fell backwards and forwards, and it was difficult for him to breathe. He choked suddenly, and then he had a violent coughing sound. The cough seemed to cough out his heart and lungs, and his body shook violently.
Seeing this, Nangong Zhaolie subconsciously took a few quick steps forward and reached out to pat Nangong Qi on the back to relieve his discomfort.
However, before his hand touched Nangong Qi's back, Nangong Qi swung it away.
Nangong Qi used up all his strength and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Get out! I never want to see you again! You, my foolish father, were blinded by that vicious woman. You caused my mother and sister to die unjustly, and made me wander around since I was a child. I hate you!"
His voice was filled with anger and despair, and every word was like a blockbuster bomb that exploded in the room, making Nangong Zhaolie's face turn pale in an instant. His body unconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes full of pain and regret.
