Chapter 1077 - 489: Zhi Yan in agony! Lanling’s cruel revenge!_2
And then, came the even more soul-crushing slaughter.
Although Zhi Yan had sworn an oath, she still killed her husband Suo Lun with a single sword strike.
Thus, she felt that she had also killed her father Zhi Bian with her own hands.
"Uncle Zhi Ting wouldn’t forgive me and chose to end his life. Elder Gao wouldn’t forgive me and also committed suicide. Hei Ningqi severed one of his arms, resigned, and retreated into hiding. My father died violently, unable to rest in peace even at the moment of his death." Queen Zhi Yan’s incomparably beautiful face trembled slightly as she said, "All my family despise me and hate me. Gui Xingfu, do you think my heart feels pain?"
In the past, Zhi Yan was like a figure in a painting, never uttering the word "pain," let alone using such a tone to speak. Especially not with Gui Xingfu.
Gui Xingfu knelt until his head bled and said, "Your Majesty, everything you have done was for the kingdom, for the people. Whether it’s Duke Zhi Ting, Elder Gao, or Hei Ningqi, their hearts were all far too narrow."
Queen Zhi Yan waved her hand and said, "Does Ling Ao have demon’s blood in him? He was crippled by Suo Lun, yet he recovered extraordinarily quickly."
"No," Gui Xingfu replied. "Demon’s blood is incomparably rare; Yin Zhou expended all its resources to obtain a single dose, which was used on Zhi Li and caused a catastrophic incident. Ling Ao was merely a prisoner before. The woman from the Demon Continent gave him nothing more than a type of sinister drug unique to the Demon Continent."
Queen Zhi Yan nodded and said, "I understand now. You may leave."
