"Empress Dowager!" Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw the Empress Dowager in plain clothes. Standing beside her was Jun Liufeng in red.
Why was Jun Liufeng with the Queen Mother? And why did he bring her to this battlefield filled with smoke
Jun Liufeng is not a nosy person. It is true that he has been fighting with Di Shitian for so many years. It is impossible that he came here specifically to help Di Shitian.
Now that Jun Liufeng is also involved in this matter, it can only mean one thing, that is, he is also involved in this matter.
It was already hard to accept that Emperor Shitian and Omi Makino were brothers, and now there was Brother Jun Liufeng? Could he also be Emperor Shitian's brother
What is the relationship between Jun Liufeng and this matter
The moment she saw the Queen Mother, countless doubts and guesses flashed through Ling'er's mind. Especially when the Queen Mother looked at Omi Makino, the expression of heartache and guilt in her eyes really looked like a mother looking at her long-lost child.
At this moment, Ling'er really believed what Omi Makino had just said.
"So it was you who took this old woman away!"
Omi Makino's narrow fox eyes were filled with a cold light as they were fixed on Jun Liufeng, as if he wished he could poke two holes in him.
His original plan was to capture this old woman and use her to threaten Emperor Shi Tian. But who knew that just when he was about to make his move, someone got there first.
He was still wondering who took the old woman away. There were not many masters in the world who could take someone away quietly under his nose. Emperor Shitian had been guarding the Thirteen States of Yanglin, so it was impossible for him to split himself.
I really didn't expect that it was the leader of Cangsheng Sect, Jun Liufeng!
If he had not failed to capture the old woman, he would not have had to wait until today to kill Di Shi Tian for revenge.
All of this is due to this man Jun Liufeng, he is really meddling in other people’s business.
"Master Cangsheng, I heard that you have been fighting with Emperor Shi Tianming for many years. I didn't expect that you would rescue his mother. It seems that the rumor is wrong." At this moment, Omi Makino said calmly while enduring the constant pain in his body. Although he seemed to be polite to Jun Liufeng, he wanted to tear this man who ruined his plan into pieces right away.
However, he was aware of the current situation, and his current body did not allow him to break up with the leader of the Cangsheng Sect. After all, this Jun Liufeng looked down on Emperor Shitian and was not a character to be trifled with.
"My child, you have suffered so much over the years." The Queen Mother looked at the half-human, half-beast Omi Makino from afar, her heart bleeding with pain. If it weren't for her selfishness back then, these children wouldn't have become what they are today. It's all her fault, all her fault.
Hearing the Queen Mother's earnest call, Omi Makino not only did not feel the slightest comfort, but instead laughed out loud towards the sky.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha..." She turned around suddenly and made eye contact with the empress dowager. Her narrow eyes were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction. "Child? Are you calling me that? Are you worthy? You are just a woman of lowly status. What qualifications do you have to be my mother? Do you think that if others call you the empress dowager, you will be able to turn from a peasant chicken into a phoenix? Maybe others don't know your true identity, but I know it clearly. You are not Di Shitian's biological mother at all. To put it nicely, you are his aunt. To put it bluntly, you are just a dog guarding the door for the Di family."
Omi Makino's words were extremely harsh, especially to the Queen Mother's ears, they were like sharp knives. Every word deeply hurt her heart.
But she couldn't complain because it was all her own fault.
"What!" The Queen Mother is not Tiantian's biological mother? Why is the plot getting more and more complicated
If the Queen Mother was not Tiantian's biological mother, Tiantian would have told her privately even if he didn't tell the world. But looking at Tiantian's attitude towards the Queen Mother, it seems that even he doesn't know about this.
Or is Omi Makino talking nonsense
The purple eyes moved between Omi Makino and the Queen Mother, clearly catching the Queen Mother closing her eyes in relief when Omi Makino said that the Queen Mother was Emperor Shitian's aunt. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.
This action undoubtedly acquiesced to Omi Makino's words.
So this matter is true. Taihou is indeed not Di Shitian’s biological mother, but his aunt.
"That's right. Actually, I am not the real queen mother, but her twin sister."
Looking at Omi Makino's contemptuous eyes, the Queen Mother's heart felt as if it was constantly being cut by many knives. The pain was beyond words.
"We two sisters grew up together and were inseparable. Apart from ourselves, even our parents would often mistake us for each other because our habits and temperaments were so similar. We even got married on the same day. My younger sister's husband was the late emperor, and mine was Jun Haoran, the head of the Jun family. My younger sister and I got married on the same day, got pregnant in the same month, and even gave birth at the same time."
Jun family
It turns out that the Jun family and the Di family have such a connection.
Jun Family? Jun Liufeng
Could it be that the Queen Mother is Jun Liufeng's biological mother? Or, some legitimate relative
In this case, it is not difficult to explain why Jun Liufeng got involved in this matter.
But something still feels wrong.
Looking at everything happening before her eyes, Ling'er's imagination was almost running out.
"Everyone in the world talks about the hidden Jun family and the kingly Di family, but no one knows that the Jun and Di families are actually one family."
When the Queen Mother said this, not only Ling'er who was unaware of the situation, but even Omi Makino who thought he knew everything that had happened in the past was extremely surprised.
The Jun family and the Di family are originally one family!
How is this possible
"The Jun family is responsible for the interior, and the Di family is responsible for the exterior. In other words, the Jun family was born to protect the Di family. The Jun family is a subsidiary family of the Di family. And everyone in the Jun family takes it as their responsibility to protect the king of the Di family.
Tianze was not as prosperous as it is now, and the people were almost destitute due to the continuous drought. The late emperor had to think of many ways every year just to keep those poor people alive.
But it was a coincidence that the drought in Tianze had been reduced since my younger sister married into the palace, especially on the day when she was confirmed to be pregnant, there was a sweet dew from heaven. So, there was a rumor among the people that my younger sister was the reincarnation of a celestial being, sent by the gods to save the people of Tianze. Some people also said that the child in my younger sister's belly was a true dragon emperor, who would unify the Tianhe continent in the future and benefit all the people.
At that time, the late emperor was very happy, but also very worried. After all, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. The king was accused of such a big crime before he was born. Not to mention those royal relatives and ministers who originally coveted the throne, even other forces in Tianhe Continent would be worried.
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, as long as it threatens their imperial status, they would rather believe it than allow this disaster to occur.
For the safety of the heir, my younger sister was secretly sent to the Jun family a month before she was due to give birth. I still remember the day we were due to give birth, it was raining heavily, maybe because we were twins, we had a unique tacit understanding between twins, but we both had a difficult birth that day. From the afternoon until midnight, the baby still could not be born.
Just when everyone was anxious, a disaster unexpectedly struck. A group of men in black broke through the defenses of the Jun family and broke in. Their purpose was to assassinate Xiaomei and her child.
My younger sister's affairs in the Jun family were extremely secretive. In addition, the late emperor had protected the Jun family tightly just in case. But the thing everyone was most worried about still happened.
Just as blood and flesh were flying everywhere in the outer courtyard, three babies fell to the ground crying. "
Three babies
So there is indeed a pair of twins, but even if Di Shitian and Omi Makino are fraternal twins, their temperaments are too different.
"Just as he said, my younger sister gave birth to twins. But at that time, the thieves outside were almost killing their way into the inner courtyard. My younger sister and I had no time to rejoice, and we only thought about how to save our children. We knew in our hearts that even if everyone died, my younger sister's children must survive, because that was Tianze's hope. And protecting the king of the Di family is the duty of the Jun family.
After I married into the Jun family, I learned some Kung Fu according to the family rules. Everyone in the Jun family, young and old, master and servant, knew some Kung Fu, which was also to better perform their duties. So compared to my younger sister, I was in a relatively better condition at the time. But my younger sister was a real lady from a wealthy family. She had just given birth and was exhausted. She had no way to escape with her child, so my younger sister asked me to protect her child.
So, the nurse and I fled with the three newborn babies. Before leaving, my younger sister gave the Buddhist beads that the late emperor had prepared for his children to her two children to prevent the nurse from mixing up the three children.
Just as we were about to leave, a man in black rushed in. I knew I couldn't escape death, so I used my body to desperately stop the man in black and buy us time to escape.
I still remember clearly that my little sister was thrown into the sea of fire after her meridians were cut by the men in black. Her child, perhaps knowing that her mother was leaving this world, cried loudly. I will never forget the crying of the baby and the pleading look in my little sister's eyes before she was buried in the sea of fire.
My wet nurse and I tried desperately to escape, but the men in black kept chasing us. In desperation, we came up with a way to save the two children.
Because the men in black had no idea that my younger sister had given birth to twins, we decided that I would hold one of the children to lure the men in black away, and then the wet nurse would hold my younger sister's two children and hide in the secret room.
But I…”
At this point, the Queen Mother's face was already in tears, her body was twitching slightly, and she was unable to continue.
"Why don't you say anything? Tell me what you did? Tell me how you abandoned your sister and cruelly left me behind. Tell me, keep talking. Do you feel guilty? Are you afraid? Over the years, have you ever heard a baby crying in the middle of the night? Do you know what happened to me after you abandoned me?"
Seeing the Queen Mother's sorrowful appearance, Omi Makino did not have a trace of sympathy, but became even more excited. He seemed to have returned to his childhood, to that painful past.
Seeing Omi Makino's almost crazy appearance, the Queen Mother cried and shook her head, saying, "It's not like that. I didn't abandon you. It's not what you think. You are my son, my son..."
Although the voice was very low, Ling'er still heard it clearly.
The Queen Mother said that Jin Jiang Muye was her son, so Jin Jiang Muye was not Di Shitian's brother, but he mistakenly thought he was. But he was so young at the time that he couldn't remember what happened at that time, and the matter was so secretive that it was estimated that only the people who were present at the time knew about it except the Queen Mother.
So who told Omi Makino the wrong information, causing him to hate Emperor Shitian for so many years
In addition to Ling'er, Omi Makino also heard the Queen Mother's murmurs.
"You old woman, what are you talking about? How can I be your son? No, I am the king of Tianze, the king of this continent. I have noble royal blood flowing in my body. As for you, you are just a slave who protects the royal family. How can you be worthy of being my mother!"
The moment he heard the Queen Mother's words, Omi Makino also doubted his identity, but it was only for a moment before he rejected her statement. He was raised by his master, and all this was told to him by his master. That's right, what his master told him about his life experience must not be wrong. And she just said that the children of the Di family all wear a string of Buddhist beads. Doesn't he have Buddhist beads that symbolize his identity
"You are my child, there is no doubt about that." Looking directly into Omi Makino's eyes, the Queen Mother reiterated solemnly. "Your eyes are very much like your father's. So when I first saw you, I knew that you were the child from back then, my child."
"You are talking nonsense. You are lying. How can I be your child? I am the blood of the Di family and the king of this continent. I have worn those Buddhist beads since I was a child. They are the symbol of my identity! You vicious woman, you still want to slander my identity at this time. I will kill you!"
He raised his heavy claws and tried to slap the Queen Mother, but every movement aggravated the pain in his body. He couldn't bear it anymore, and his body tilted and he fell to the ground, half-kneeling.
"Child, are you okay?" Seeing Omi Makino fall down, the Queen Mother became anxious and took a step forward to check on his condition, but was stopped by Jun Liufeng.
The Queen Mother turned her head to glance at Jun Liufeng's face which was always smiling, and felt extremely guilty.
"It's all my fault. I was too selfish at the time. I took advantage of the nurse's inattention and put the Buddhist beads from one of my younger sister's children on my own son. I didn't want my son to die with me, so I selfishly swapped his identity with that of one of the heirs. Then I held the child and led away the men in black. But things didn't go as planned. I didn't expect that the nurse would get into trouble after entering the secret room. But I was rescued by the reinforcements sent by the late emperor at the critical moment. The child I was holding at the time is the current king."
"Impossible, you are lying, you woman, you are lying. Your words are simply an excuse for Emperor Shi Tian!"
"I am not trying to excuse the king, but it is true. I should have taken my own son to protect the other two heirs, but for my own selfish reasons, I let the young king take the risk. However, God still has eyes and blessed the king to survive such a crisis. So based on the situation at that time, the king was the one I gave up."
Yes, if the reinforcements hadn’t arrived, it would have been…
But unexpectedly, the opposite happened and the two children who were being protected went missing.
"For so many years, I have taken good care of the king, half of which was because of my deceased younger sister, and the other half was due to my inner guilt. I owe this child this because I abandoned him once for my own son."
"No, that's not the case. That's not right. Even if what you said is true, there is still another child. That child is yours. I have the Buddhist beads, so I am the prince of the Di family. The reason you say this now is entirely because of Di Shitian. Yes, you resent me for killing Di Shitian, so you deliberately say this to avenge me. Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this. I am a prince. I have noble royal blood flowing in my body. I am a prince, a prince..."
Omi Makino simply couldn't believe what the Queen Mother said.
He has hated and resented for so many years, and today, when he finally thought that his revenge had been achieved, someone suddenly came and told him that everything he had done, everything he had thought, and even all his previous cognitions, were wrong!
No. That's not the case.
If all this is true, then what does it matter what he did for revenge and to take back everything that belongs to him!
And how could he possibly accept such a lowly status
"What did you say! You killed Tian'er!" No, that was not allowed. Not to mention that Tian'er was the king of the Di family, his children should be protected. Even if that was not the case, they were cousins, how could they kill each other? Besides, he had already done something wrong to Tian'er once, how could his son continue this mistake
Killing the emperor is a crime of great disrespect, and killing all nine generations of his clan is not excessive.
"Where's Tian'er, where's Tian'er? Why can't I see Tian'er?" The Queen Mother only then remembered that she hadn't seen the figure of Emperor Shi Tian. Could it be that he really killed Tian'er as he said!
“Hahaha…hahaha…Tian’er, you called me so affectionately. That’s right, if it weren’t for Di Shitian, how could you have sat on the throne of the Empress Dowager without any worries for so many years. So even if you are not Di Shitian’s biological mother, you should have acted more into the role. But it’s a pity that just now, the Tian’er you were thinking about was killed by my own hands. She was torn to pieces and there was not even a corpse left.”
"What? You..." The Queen Mother was angry and sad. She pointed her finger at Omi Makino and wanted to say something, but fainted from anger the next second.
Jun Liufeng immediately stepped forward to support the Queen Mother's fallen body, then took out a pill for her to take.
"Are you okay?" Jun Liufeng asked indifferently as he looked at the empress dowager who had just woken up.
"It's okay, I'm fine. I'm just angry." The queen mother steadied herself and stood still again. Her eyes were still filled with guilt and sadness, but she didn't know what she was thinking of, but there was a hint of clarity in her eyes.
These things must be made clear today. These misunderstandings and grudges have lasted for so many years and cannot continue.
"Yes, you have the Buddhist beads. But you don't know that it is precisely because of the Buddhist beads that I am sure that you are my son.
The two strings of Buddhist beads are actually different, one is made of fragrant wood and the other is made of tribute silver wood. Silver wood is a sacred wood from an exotic country and is rarely seen in the world.
Because the late emperor did not know that his younger sister was pregnant with twins, he used the tribute silver wood to make a string of Buddhist beads. In order to show his special favor to the prince, the late emperor destroyed all the remaining silver wood.
At that time, the late emperor said that he wanted his son to have something that was unique in the world. Later, when the imperial physician told the late emperor that his younger sister was pregnant with twins, it was no longer possible to make a Buddhist bead bracelet with silver wood.
So, my younger sister made another string of Buddhist beads by herself using the finest fragrant wood.
Because the king was the eldest brother, the younger sister gave the fragrant wood Buddhist beads to the king, and the silver wood string was left to her youngest son.
That string of Buddhist beads has been with you for so many years, you must know that it is made of fragrant wood. "
The Queen Mother knew that this fact would be a great blow to her son. But now she had to tell him because his obsession was so deep that he plunged the world into war for that obsession.
Her husband was such an upright man, so she couldn't let her son sink into such depravity.
"No, it's not like that. You are lying to me, you are lying to me, it's not like that, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"Back then, the guards of the Jun family were as strong as a copper wall, but the men in black were able to break through easily. It was not because those men in black were strong, but because there was a traitor in the Jun family."
Jun Liufeng, who seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, suddenly spoke, but he did not answer Omi Makino's question, nor did he supplement the story of stealing the sky and replacing the day. Instead, he said something that seemed to have little to do with the hatred between them and their life experience.
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Jun Liufeng continued, "That traitor is the Jun family master's biological brother, Jun Haotian."
The Queen Mother was also surprised by Jun Liufeng's words. She had always thought that it was just a simple murder and had never thought that there was a traitor in the Jun family.
"Brother? How can brother be a traitor?"
Maybe outsiders don't know Jun Haotian, but she knows him very well. The eldest brother always gives people the impression of being gentle and non-confrontational. When he was very young, his legs were broken in an accident. Perhaps because of his disability, he spends his days with Buddhist scriptures and is very warm. In the Jun family, the eldest brother is a well-known kind person.
How could such a person be a traitor
"Jun Haotian, his legs became disabled due to an accident when he was young." Jun Liufeng spoke again, ignoring the expressions of others. His peach blossom eyes swept across Jinjiang Muye without leaving a trace. Sure enough, when he heard the words "disabled legs", he staggered back a little distance.
"The kindhearted man who lives in harmony with the world is just his disguise. In secret, he hates the entire Jun family. I guess he is resentful because of his position as the head of the family and wants to overthrow the entire Jun family. That night was the best opportunity."
Without knowing when, his eyes had already fallen on Omi Makino, with a playful smile on his lips, as if waiting for a good show to begin. "As far as I know, Emperor Otsuki has a mentor who seems to be disabled in both legs and unable to walk. What a coincidence."
No, it won't.
Omi Makino's mood at this moment was on the verge of collapse.
He really didn't want to believe this fact, but every clue was silently telling him that this was the fact.
Jun Haotian is a traitor. He has disabled legs and his master happens to have the same disease.
And before this, many people had indeed said that they felt he looked somewhat similar to his master.
So all of this is true.
He is not a child of the Di family, but a descendant of the Jun family, and the biological son of this fake empress dowager!
