Chapter 184: Min Yu Han, Truth

Receiving Li Hong Yuans order, the person was very quickly brought over.

The tied up man also had his eyes covered, and probably because hed gotten properly rinsed clean beforehand, his clothes were rather clean and orderly. Although he wasnt meticulously taken care of, and despite being noticeably dispirited, one still was able to make out his handsome appearance. Even if slightly thin, he still faintly manifested a trace of strength.

Getting kicked behind the knee, he knelt onto the ground with a thud.

The man actually didnt resist, instead having a kind of finally meeting the boss relaxed feeling.

Hed strangely gotten caught. And soon after, it was just what can be said as days where it was dark without light, unclear whether day or night. Speaking of which, this entire journey can be said to have been nonstop without rest. At first, he even roughly calculated the direction, and the distance traveled every day, contemplating who it was that wanted to catch him, and for what reason. However, along the way, getting treated like a sack of goods thrown onto horseback, in addition to his age not being considered small to begin with either, such torment was truly unbearable. But aside from this, those people didnt do anything else to him either. As such, he was also too lazy to think too much. Just, the main boss being this far away still exceeded his expectations.

The black cloth covering his eyes was removed. Because he was indoors, the light wasnt considered too intense, and although somewhat indisposed, the time in which this feeling persisted wasnt long. Afterwards, he finally saw clearly the man sitting in the main seat a few feet away. And after that, he just blanked.

Although his sitting posture was laid-back and undisciplined, but from head to toe, it all embodied his graceful and n.o.ble status, appearing emotionless, yet carrying an imposing demeanor. Even if he was just in hemp garments, absolutely no one would think he was an ordinary person. However, what truly made that man blank werent these, but rather that face-He thought hed already forgotten, but seeing that similar face again, he finally realized, he not only didnt forget, but it was further like a permanent mark that was carved into his bones with a knife day after day.

Guan Guan, Guan Guan. After blanking, the man, as if crumbling, repeatedly called out this name, tears falling like rain, his crying even intensifying. In fact, he even appear to start loudly bawling, his body even collapsing, bending his waist, his forehead pressed against the ground.

Li Hong Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes. Looks like, there are discrepancies with his previous guess.

He knew, Guan Guan was his birth mothers little name. This kind of address, ordinarily would only be used by people that were very intimate with oneself, for instance, an elder to the younger generation, and also between married couples. This mans reaction wasnt like that of a blood relatives.

Although hes never heard anyone say before, but Li Hong Yuan knew, his own appearance should be like his birth mothers more. However, ever since his appearance matured, shedding away that androgynous look, no one has ever said he looked like a woman. This face of his wasnt feminine in the slightest after all. So, for someone to shout a womans name towards him, this can be considered a rather novel experience.

However, hearing a man bawl like this, truly was a bit annoying. Li Hong Yuan waved his hand, and the person just got dragged out. However, not long after, he was brought back again. His crying had stopped, but the area above the chest was completely wet. It was easy to tell, what hed met with just now.

He was once again pressed to kneel on the ground, yet he uncontrollably stared at Li Hong Yuan with an infatuated expression.

Those who didnt know would even think this man fancied the southern wind

, and moreover, even outrageously daringly l.u.s.ted after Jin Qinw.a.n.g.

Heh.. Li Hong Yuan lightly scoffed.

The man was like as if woken by a thunderbolt. The person, clearly still that person, even his sitting posture all have yet to change, but the feeling he gave off wasnt the same anymore, that might making one suffocate. And those things that were similar to his memories were also shattered into dust, terrifying and shocking, making one fearful.

Li Hong Yuan lightly tapped the armrest of the chair, Looks like youre awake.

The man felt complicated and indescribable inside, his lips trembling, seemingly wanting to say something, yet unable to utter a single word.

You should know who this prince is. If he really cares that much about his birth mother, then there was no reason for him to not know her son.

The sixth imperial son, rank of a qinw.a.n.g, bestowed t.i.tle Jin. The man slowly spat out these words.

Li Hong Yuan nodded his head, Then, why dont you talk about who you are.

w.a.n.gye spared no effort in having this commoner invited over from thousands of miles away, yet dont know who this commoner is? The man suppressed all the emotions in his eyes, turning calm and unruffled, with a who are you deceiving look.

Li Hong Yuans mood, at this time, perhaps was still considered pretty good, thus didnt do anything, not only so, he even appeared particularly honest, Really dont know, originally thought you were someone of the Pei family.

For Li Hong Yuan to just change face like this, that man momentarily was unable to get a clear grasp of his true nature. However, unknown as to what he was thinking, This commoners surname is Min, name Yu Han, his Majestys Imperial n.o.ble Consorts previous fiancee. It was full of evil intentions.

Seemingly having heard something incredible again, the expressions of the certain few listening to the side went numb.

Unfortunately, Li Hong Yuan didnt have any reaction at all. A trace of disappointment streaked across the mans eyes.

When his Majesty was still a qinw.a.n.g, he went down to Jiangnan for an a.s.signment, mutually falling in love with the Pei clan daughter. However, the Li imperial clans relations.h.i.+p with the Pei clan have never improved, and moreover, the di branchs di daughters were forbidden to serve as concubines. Yet, this woman obstinately clung onto this path alone, and would rather remove herself from the clan for her male lover.

Lies The man roared as if tearing out from within, his two eyes blood red, Merely just a l.u.s.tful scoundrel, taking advantage of his position to bully others, forcibly stealing a commoners daughter. Guan Guan and I were childhood sweethearts, having mutual feelings for one another. We were merely just a few days away from getting married, just a few days! That despicable and shameless scoundrel used the Pei clan and the Min clan to threaten her. Guan Guan was kind, unable to bear seeing the two clans suffer misfortune, and thus sacrificed herself, giving herself to that scoundrel. She clearly was an ill.u.s.trious clans di daughter and couldnt be more honorable, yet ended up with a reputation of dying suddenly and expelled from the clan. Afterwards, without a name and surname, with no one to rely on, she entered the capital alone, entering that man-devouring place.

(T/N: Although they come from a large influential family, because they dont serve in the imperial court or hold a n.o.ble t.i.tle, they are considered commoners.)

Despite hearing Min Yu Han speak that mournfully, Li Hong Yuan actually didnt feel anything. When he was born, his mother was already dead, so he didnt have any feelings towards her. Moreover, even if his old man stole the person, he also didnt feel it was wrong. Replaced with him, and replaced with Wan Wan, to be able to achieve his goal in the gentlest way was for the best, if not, never mind two clans, even the entire world he would all extinguish. On this bit, he was definitely Le Cheng Emperors sp.a.w.n, and even the student that surpa.s.sed the master. However, he wont be like his old man that way and change Wan Wans ident.i.ty. Regardless whether Wan Wans birth was high or low, n.o.ble or lowly, he would all let the world clearly know, who the person he cupped in his palm was. Of course, he and his old man were entirely different, and Wan Wan and his mother were also different, so there was nothing to compare.

Indeed a man-devouring place, just dying in a few years.

Hearing him sound this cold, as if talking about a completely irrelevant person, that anger and resentment seemingly as if materializing, Its your fault she died, yet you completely lack the feeling of guilt. As expected, youre worthy of the Li surname, your bones similarly rotten to the core.

Li Hong Yuan was unconcerned, Turns out, you all also believed that she died of blood loss from a difficult birth.

Min Yu Han blanked, What do you mean?

Meaning, she was strangled to death by her husband, and after she died, this prince was then cut out from her stomach by her husband. Never mind the honor and glory when she was alive, after dying, her body all got slashed with a huge gash, isnt she very pitiful? Li Hong Yuan carried a nonchalant smile, and also the evil intentions to pay back Min Yu Han.

Min Yu Han widened his eyes in disbelief, but he didnt doubt Li Hong Yuans words. Like as if his heart was about to explode, Why, why, since he schemed in every possible way to have the person s.n.a.t.c.hed over, why didnt he properly cherish her, why didnt he love her, pamper her, and protect her, even personally killing her? Why? He originally thought, she at least was still living pretty well. That way, even if he was in heart-splitting pain, he can at least still feel that tiny bit relieved. She lost her honorable ident.i.ty, yet still became the Imperial n.o.ble Consort, and after she pa.s.sed away, her son was specially favored by the Emperor. He thought these were all proof that she was well, yet turns out, turns out..

Why? Probably because of you.

Min Yu Han was like as if struck by lightning.

Le Cheng Emperor stole the person, so naturally he knew about your existence. Moreover, according to your explanation, you two had feelings for one another. You think Le Cheng Emperor wouldnt have the slightest grudge inside? The imperial harem, that kind of place, with the slightest movement, once caught, nine out of ten will all make one lose their life. In his past life, he learned from n.o.ble Consort Sus mouth, it seemingly was because something that shouldnt have appeared had appeared by his mothers side, causing his old man to be especially suspicious. Reasonably speaking, if hed suspected some other man, his old man wouldnt have gone as far as to lose his rationality to the point of killing her, After she got pregnant, did you go to the capital, and even thought of ways to contact her?

Min Yu Hans face stiffened, the corner of his mouth twitching..

Tsk, he actually guessed right! Just based on that personality of his old mans, hating that he cant have his mother tied at the waist, to dare do this kind of thing, was this looking for death, or looking for death?

I didnt want to meet her, and she also didnt want to meet me. I just let someone pa.s.s her something, and she pa.s.sed me a letter, thats all. She told me, she was very well, letting me find a good girl and settle down, afterwards, letting me leave the capital, never to return. Min Yu Han, like having lost his soul, muttered, In the end, it was my fault she died? My fault she died?

Stirring up the imperial harem, to say it was easy, it was actually very easy, but to say it was difficult, it was definitely difficult. It depended on the person and depended on the situation. Situation like his mothers was definitely impossible. Looking at it as such, his old man actually never doubted his mothers loyalty. Just, after several years of having her wholeheartedly cupped in the palm, yet in the end, her heart still held another man, nine out of ten men, afraid, will all explode. Then, with someone fanning the flames, doing something irrational due to a moment of impulse was very common.

Min Yu Han didnt know the truth, for a time, believing that it was Li Hong Yuan that killed Guan Guan. If thinking that because Li Hong Yuan possessed Guan Guans blood, he loved the house and its crow, then because Li Hong Yuan killed her, and moreover, also possessed the blood of his greatest enemy, that was just double the hatred. Carrying this kind of love and hate, he once very much paid attention to Li Hong Yuans situation. However, as Li Hong Yuan grew, becoming notorious for his misdeeds, not having inherited any of the good characteristics from Guan Guan, he just thoroughly gave up all hope, no longer paying attention. For the past several years, he never took a wife, listless like a walking corpse, walking all over the country, seemingly forgetting everything from the past, yet also seemingly remembering as if it was yesterday, muddled and confused, not knowing the days pa.s.sing.
