Chapter 389 Atrocities
How could Concubine Chen have the qualifications to persuade Bai Yanli to go back?
From the beginning to the end, she was just assisting him. She couldn't do anything else and was not qualified to do anything else.
But she came all the way here today because she really had something important to discuss with him.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly stood up from the chair, lifted her long dress, and knelt directly on the ground.
Bai Yanli didn't expect her to be like this, so he stood up and asked, "Madam, what are you doing?"
"Seventh Prince, please save your mother, save Empress Ning."

Bai Mansion, in the courtyard.
Concubine Chen and Bai Yanli were chatting in the flower hall, while Tang Wanru was standing outside the door.
At this time, a black figure flew in from outside the wall. It was Qing Ling. She bowed to Tang Wanru and said, "Dark Lord."
Seeing her coming, Tang Wanru asked, "Any news?"
Qing Ling replied: "Yes, Dark Lord, the people who went to the northwest to investigate have returned. Tang Yue'er was indeed carrying a kind of medicinal powder."
"She treasures the powder very much. It seems to be something very important to her."
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with that.
Tang Wanru thought that she still had a trump card.
If she guessed correctly, this thing was the culprit that caused her to die of old age in her previous life.
This thing also came from Liu Xianghe. Because three years ago, when she was watching Liu Xianghe, she once saw him walking out of the shop carrying a lot of medicinal herbs.
But later, Jing Yun checked and found that those medicinal ingredients were not used in the medicine powder that killed her mother.
She became suspicious at that time, wondering what he was using those herbs for.
Now she knows.
He gave Tang Yue'er the last trump card!
So far, the feud between her and Tang Yue'er has ended, and it's time for this final round!
This round is the brutal massacre she had inflicted on her before!
Even though so many years had passed since the terrible situation in her previous life, she still felt a chill down her spine when she thought of that dark room, her decaying self in the mirror, and those days of despair and suffocation.
To kill someone, you can do it with a single blow of the knife.
But she could never tolerate such a cruel killing.
I guess that when Tang Yue'er was in such excruciating pain in the northwest, she still insisted on carrying the powder with her, thinking that she would be harmed again one day, right?
No problem——
The time has indeed come.
After being tortured by the terrible Shanrong tribe for three whole years, Tang Yue'er's suffering was about to enter the next stage.
A stage that would make her even more miserable.
Thinking of this, undercurrents surged in Tang Wanru's pupils.
"Qingling, how is the recovery of the dark area in the northwest going?" Tang Wanru asked.
"My Lord, we have completely taken them back." Qing Ling replied, "The Dark Territory in the northwest is not like the capital and Jiangnan. The people there are very tough and it was difficult to take them back. But fortunately, we used the master's method and did not use force against force, but used gentleness to subdue people, so we finally took them back."
Tang Wanru nodded.
After all, she had lived in the Northwest for so many years and knew the people there very well.
They are rough and straightforward. A head-on confrontation will not lead to good results, and winning people's hearts is the right way.
Although it took three years to recover the dark area in the northwest this time.
But the results are worth it.
"Select a few reliable people, we are going to the northwest." Tang Wanru said.
Qing Ling's pupils flickered. Tang Yue'er and the people from Yongning Marquis' Mansion who were dealt with by the master were all in the northwest.
Wouldn't it be dangerous if I go there now?
She thought so in her heart.
But she naturally did not dare to disobey Tang Wanru's words. She nodded and said, "Yes, I obey your command." Then she turned around and left.

In the flower hall, Bai Yanli was still listening to Concubine Chen's story.
"The Seventh Prince may not know. Queen Ning is from Daliang."
Daliang State is also in the northwest. It is a country that developed from a small oasis in the desert and is very rich. The people of Daliang State are also brave and good at fighting. They have had many conflicts with the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Emperor has led the Shen Family Army and the Lin Family Army to fight against Daliang State many times.
Compared with Daliang, the Shanrong tribe is nothing to mention.
In fact, apart from some frictions on the border, the two countries do not have any other deep hatred. If each side makes concessions, they can coexist peacefully.
However, both sides were developing rapidly at that time, and the kings were all young and energetic, and each wanted to annex the other, so the war lasted almost all year round.
"Until Emperor Zhou met your mother." Recalling those days, Concubine Chen showed some tenderness on her face. "She was known as the most beautiful woman in Daliang. She was so beautiful at that time."
"Did the emperor give in because of her?" Bai Yanli asked.
"That's right." Concubine Chen nodded. "In fact, the Zhou Dynasty was about to win at that time. But it was at that time that His Majesty and Ning Zhuo met."
"So in order to win her heart and reduce the hatred between the two, the emperor took a step back. And in order to get this rare breathing opportunity, Daliang followed his wishes and offered Ning Zhuo to him."
As if he had sunk into the world that Chen Fei had described, Bai Yanli couldn't help but ask, "Are they in love?"
"Is that so?" Chen Fei didn't seem to be very sure about this, but what she was sure of was, "If it wasn't for love, with your mother's personality, she would never sacrifice herself for the sake of the relationship between the two countries."
The story seems to have come to a complete conclusion here.
Unfortunately--
"However, your mother's leaving her hometown was not appreciated by the emperor." When she said this, Concubine Chen's face darkened.
"He regrets it?"
He gave up the best opportunity to annex a country for a woman, and he might regret it when he comes back.
"Maybe." Chen Fei said, "But more of it is his suspicion."
She said: "After His Majesty brought Ning Zhuo back, he found out that she had a childhood sweetheart when she was in Daliang. He was a general of Daliang who had fought against him before, named Xu Wang."
"So even though Ning Zhuo repeatedly explained to him that she had already cut off contact with him, His Majesty still didn't believe it."
"So, jealousy and sensitivity turned the palace where your mother lived into a purgatory." When she said this, Concubine Chen clenched her hands. She used to be Ning Zhuo's dowry maid, and she knew better than anyone what happened in the palace at that time.
"There was not a single healthy part on her body. She was covered with scars from being whipped and beaten. Besides that, she had to endure his brutality when she was in excruciating pain." When Chen Fei said this, her eyes became red.
This scene is indeed cruel.
Hearing this, Bai Yanli clenched his fingers lightly.
“Even so, for a long time, Ning Zhuo endured being beaten and kept explaining his innocence to him. But all this came to an abrupt end when the general from Daliang Kingdom came to visit on orders.” Chen Fei took a deep breath and said.
"Ning Zhuo was falsely accused by Concubine Yu of having an affair with the Daliang general, and was beaten to death by the emperor on that rainy night."
At this moment, Bai Yanli's mind made a "buzzing" sound, which suddenly brought back his memories.
That night, the sky was gloomy. When the young boy was passing by his mother's palace, he suddenly heard a "bang!" sound as if something was smashed inside.
He felt very strange, so he walked towards the palace.
The door of the palace was closed, and the candlelight inside was flickering. It seemed that the people inside were not only smashing things, but also beating people. There was also the faint sound of women screaming and begging for mercy.
A loud "boom!" was heard in the sky!
Bai Yanli was frightened and trembled. He looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and it began to rain. Raindrops as big as beans fell on his face and in his eyes.
"Mom!" He seemed to realize something and knew what his mother was going through.
He raised his foot and was about to run into the hall.
But a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him. He looked up and saw that it was a maid from the palace. The maid said to him, "Seventh Prince, run! Run!"
Only then did he turn around and look at the shadow cast by the candlelight in the room.
The woman's voice disappeared.
There was only a man bending over, holding a hard candlestick and smashing something repeatedly.
Big drops of blood splashed on the door and also splashed in his pupils that were getting bigger and bigger with fear!
