Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: Is It Grief, or a Sigh of Relief

Chu Qianli pouted slightly, "You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, then I..."

"I like it, I like it!"

Feng Yexuan embraced her tightly, his entire body tense with excitement!

"I like it! Lili, Lili, I’m sorry, I’m... Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Lili!"

She called Hua Rong ’mother’!

She called her ’mother’!

That meant she was willing to accept Hua Rong.

Feng Yexuan had originally thought that it would be impossible in his lifetime to make the two reconcile and bury the hatchet.

But he never imagined that his Lili, his woman, could be so forgiving!

Chu Qianli was held close to him, yet her heart was inexplicably heavy.

If Hua Rong hadn’t died, she might not have been able to call her ’mother’ so easily.

When a person dies and the light goes out, why hold grudges against the deceased?

It’s all in the past, isn’t it?

"Now, can you lie down and let me remove the Poisonous Insect from you? If not, when they bring Fen Ling, you’ll have no escape."

This time Feng Yexuan said nothing more, obediently lying down.

Each movement made the wound on his scapula excruciating, and in fact, his forehead and face were covered in cold sweat.

Yet he never uttered a sound.

Chu Qianli’s heart ached seeing this, but at this moment, every second counted, and even if her heart ached, she couldn’t spare a thought for it.

To remove the Poisonous Insect, following Hua Rong’s instructions, the blood of the two was mixed, ten drops in total.

Soon, the acupoint pierced on Feng Yexuan’s heart began to react.

Something was moving beneath the skin and flesh.

Feng Yexuan’s gaze darkened.

Chu Qianli placed her index finger against her lips, signaling him to stay still.

Before long, the Poisonous Insect finally broke through the skin and emerged!

Chu Qianli swiftly and silently brought the knife down.

The Poisonous Insect was cut in half and rolled onto the ground.

As Feng Yexuan sat up, he saw the Poisonous Insect curling up, withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was the Poisonous Insect his own mother and others had placed on him, with the intention of controlling him.

In fact, it was impossible not to feel wronged, but at this point, grievances were of no use.

He stood up, cold light rising in his eyes.

"Yexuan, I’ll first... take you to see your mother."

...

The wind was a bit strong tonight, chilling to the core.

Hua Rong was dead.

The ground was stained with blood.

Yet her face seemed peaceful.

Feng Yexuan stood by the bedside, looking at his mother’s body, expressionless.

Even his heart felt numb.

He didn’t know if he was grieving or suddenly relieved.

He realized he had such a dark side.

He even forgot to be sad.

Only anger, gathering intensifying in his chest.

"Yexuan..."

"I’m not sad." Feng Yexuan’s voice was very faint, so soft it was difficult to hear clearly without careful listening.

Chu Qianli said nothing.

Though he claimed he wasn’t sad, she knew his heart was still aching.

It was just that the sense of revenge towards Hua Rong outweighed familial affection. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Sometimes he might even doubt whether his mother ever genuinely loved him.

"Before she died, she asked me to pass on a few words to you."

Feng Yexuan did not move upon hearing this, his gaze fixed on Hua Rong’s body, his face unchanged.

Chu Qianli said softly, "She said she has let go of her obsessions. If you have no desire for the throne, then... live the life you want."
