Chapter 436: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Eighty-six)

The mountains howled at night and wolves howled in the distance. The mansion at the foot of the mountain had become a ruin, with an unextinguished fire still burning. Occasionally, there would be crackling sounds from fallen beams and burning wood.

There were corpses everywhere outside the dense forest. Wu Meng was seriously injured and was tied up by the black-armored guards. His mouth was stuffed with sackcloth and he was guarded by two black-armored guards. As for his men, they all met the King of Hell.

There were two rows of people half-kneeling in front, one row was Emperor Liang's secret guards, and the other row was the black-armored guards.

In the front, there was a woman's body. After being poisoned, the woman's face had changed a little. Under the light of the torch, she no longer looked as beautiful as she was in life.

Liang Sheng held the jade pendant that symbolized his love for Cui Li and looked at the woman on the ground in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his lover would die, and their baby boy was about to be born!

The woman on the ground had arrows stuck in her chest and abdomen. The black blood at the corners of her mouth had dried up, but her eyes were still open, as if she had died with her eyes open.

"Impossible, this can't be Li'er!"

Liang Sheng tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand and sat down on the ground in a disgraceful manner. His throat felt as if he had swallowed boiling hot iron and he could no longer speak.

"Your Majesty, please express your condolences!"

The head of the secret guards had seen the true appearance of the Imperial Noble Consort and knew that the deceased pregnant woman looked very similar to the Imperial Noble Consort, not to mention that she had the Imperial Noble Consort's token on her body.

Liang Sheng closed his eyes, trembling as he reached for the woman's neck and removed a pendant. As he pulled the amulet from the pendant's mechanism and looked at the familiar runes, the young emperor finally couldn't hold back his tears, and wept silently.

He slowly closed the woman's eyes, and his trembling hands did not dare to touch her again.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe you will die, Li'er! My wife and my son, how could you be so cruel to leave me alone in this world!"

The emperor was in pain, and his confidants were equally sad. They didn't expect that the imperial concubine they had been looking for had died. They were too late!

"Your Majesty, a man was found in the woods."

Two secret guards carried a man in gorgeous clothes forward. The man was dying and had the seal of the prince of Yongwang Palace of Qi on his body.

Liang Sheng stood up and took the seal. It was a genuine jade seal. "The Palace of Prince Yong of Qi? You, the people of Ji and Qi, have taken my wife and children away from me. I have lost my beloved wife and children. One day, I will make you pay with blood!"

Qi Xingsheng half-closed his eyes, looking with difficulty at the dead woman two meters away. Hearing the emperor's bloodthirsty words, he spat out a mouthful of blood in panic and said incoherently, "This has nothing to do with the other people in Yongwang Mansion. She...she is not...is..."

"Your Majesty, he is dead."

Emperor Liang didn't know what this man wanted to say. He probably wanted to make excuses and shirk responsibility. He was afraid that he would attack Prince Yong's Mansion.

Liang Sheng looked at the moonless sky, which was covered with dark clouds and without even a bit of moonlight. It was so dim and his heart seemed to be half empty.

He picked up the dead woman and left slowly and heavily. He never believed that the woman in his arms was his Li'er, but the jade pendant, the amulet and the attitudes of Wu Meng and others forced him to accept the fact, to accept that his sweetheart and the prince had left him.

When passing by Wu Meng, Liang Sheng saw the gloating and joy in Wu Meng's eyes, so he stepped hard on him and broke several of Wu Meng's ribs.

"I will let you know what it means to be unable to die."

Wu Meng groaned in pain, his mouth blocked and he was forced to swallow his own blood. He did not take the words of Emperor Liang to heart. He, Wu Meng, was a member of the Wu clan, his body had been modified and was different from that of ordinary people. That was why he was not afraid of death or torture.

He was picked up from the ground and kept struggling. He wanted to laugh wildly, but the smelly linen in his mouth prevented him from laughing. He looked around unhappily at his men whose corpses were exposed in the wilderness. Suddenly, he felt a little sad and finally fell silent and stopped struggling.

After that, Wu Meng never appeared again. Whether he was dead or alive, and how he lived, perhaps only a few secret guards and himself knew.

The breeze blows tonight, carrying with it the strong smell of blood and smoke, destined to be an unforgettable night.
