Chapter 959 Weird Leader
Even after so many years, Shangguan Dongzhu still couldn’t help shivering when she thought of that man.
Seeing the disorder in her eyes, Lin ngya knew that the effect of the drug had begun to affect Shangguan Dongzhu’s brain without the Immortal Pill.
Lin ngya stuffed the Immortal Pill into Shangguan Dongzhu’s hand at once.
The faint fragrance suddenly intensified, and Shangguan Dongzhu finally cald down.
“All I know is that it was a man. But it was weird that his voice changed from old to young back and forth. I thought that he was deliberately covering it up. However, when I handed the other piece of Immortal Pill to him, I noticed that one of his hands was as old as an old man’s, but the other was as fair as a teenager’s.”
Lin ngya felt a chill just from what Dongzhu Shangguan was telling.
“What kind of person was the leader? Why did he have such a weird side?”
Lin ngya was about to ask further, but she saw that Shangguan Dongzhu looked exhausted.
Her eyes were closed, and her forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
That mory must have been like a nightmare for her and tornted her over the years.
“With the help of Candle Dragon Cult, I eliminated many opponents without leaving a trace. I thought this would help my son to take the throne, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I was the one who put my children in a hopeless situation. ngya, you must eliminate the Candle Dragon Cult! They are a crowd of devils that have climbed up from hell. The one who teams up with them will end up being gnawed by them, leaving nothing behind, not even a soul. I am a loser now. Can you please save my children?”
Shangguan Dongzhu grabbed Lin ngya’s wrist excitedly. Lin ngya tried to break free but failed.
However, Lin ngya did not reveal any sympathy when faced with Shangguan Dongzhu whose face was full of expectations.
She prised Shangguan Dongzhu’s fingers one by one and then said word by word.
“Indeed, I won’t let the Candle Dragon Cult survive, but I’m not doing it for your children. To be honest, maybe thousands of people who have been entrapped by the Candle Dragon Cult should survive, but only your children deserve to die.”
Her coldness and rcilessness finally brought reality to Shangguan Dongzhu.
She forced a helpless bitter smile because she knew Lin ngya was telling the truth.
As a mother, she knew better than anyone else what her children had done.
So things had to be repaid.
“I know, but please, if you can, just keep them alive. Please accept this piece of Immortal Pill. If you can defeat the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult with it, just take it as the money I paid for my children’s lives.”
Even now, Shangguan Dongzhu was still begging Lin ngya to spare her children’s lives.
When she saw that Lin ngya was unmoved, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lin ngya regardless of dignity.
“What are you doing? Get up!”
Lin ngya did not expect that Empress, who used to be arrogant, would kneel at her feet.
She imdiately jumped away and held on to Shangguan Dongzhu’s arm to stop her crazy behavior.
“I know... I know that even without this thing, you can find a way to defeat that man. But I beg you... I beg you to give my children a way to live, please!”
Shangguan Dongzhu said in a tearful voice. The indifferent look on her face had disappeared. Now, she was only an ordinary woman with a face of embarrassnt.
Even if Lin ngya was hard-hearted, she had a little sympathy for Shangguan Dongzhu.
She had an impatient expression on her face, but she forcibly dragged Shangguan Dongzhu up.
“No matter how much you beg , there is no way for to say yes. Your children have murdered so many people. Even if I let them go, others can’t spare them. But I can promise you that if they don’t continue to go against , I can let them change to other identities and start over again. This is my biggest concession. Otherwise, even if you kowtowed to death here, I wouldn’t be softhearted.”
Shangguan Dongzhu did not expect that Lin ngya would give in.
She nodded at once and stuffed the Immortal Pill into Lin ngya’s hand.
“There is a feature of the Immortal Pill. If it is used separately in one piece, it works. But if it is cut and put together again, it will temporarily lose its effect. I guess that the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult was anxious to get this thing back then. That was why he showed up. I think, if you can find an opportunity to put the two pieces together, his old disease will recur.”
Even Lin ngya did not expect it to have such an effect.
But if she took this thing, what about Shangguan Dongzhu?
Shangguan Dongzhu seed to have read Lin ngya’s mind, she smiled suddenly, and she looked relieved.
“I’m fine. In fact, it’s better to be insane than awake. If I keep awake, there will be no place for to live soon. So I would rather be insane.”
Lin ngya watched Shangguan Dongzhu curled up on the bed, and her clear eyes gradually beca distant.
It was the effect of the drug that had been suppressed for a long ti. It was eroding her remaining reason little by little.
Princess Tiancheng tricked her into taking the drug, which was mainly to poison her brain.
Without the Immortal Pill, she would have forgotten everything by now.
“There used to be a flourishing sweet-scented osmanthus tree in this courtyard. Unfortunately, as the Empress, I couldn’t live in this small courtyard. Now, I am glad that I can see it every day.
Shangguan Dongzhu said in a daze. Her eyes were fixed on a void place in the courtyard.
Lin ngya held the Immortal Pill in her hand and stepped out of the room silently.
She thought, “Actually, Shangguan Dongzhu was still affected by that drug.
“However, she had been worried about her children, so she had tried her best to endure it until now.”
Then she couldn’t help thinking of her mother.
“What mood did that strong and intelligent woman have to give birth to ?”
Lin ngya turned to look at Shangguan Dongzhu, who was still dazedly staring at the empty courtyard by the window. She had mixed feelings in her heart.
“Ya’er, did she make things difficult for you?”
When Lin ngya just stepped out of the courtyard, she saw the Empress Dowager, who was rushing towards her.
Lin ngya’s hands were gripped by a pair of cool hands. The Empress Dowager put them carefully in her palms and looked at Lin ngya worriedly.
“No, she didn’t. Don’t worry.”
It seed that they had been waiting here for her.
Lin ngya looked at the Empress Dowager, and infinite warmth welled up in her heart.
She then held the Empress Dowager’s arm and hurriedly beckoned everyone to Fengxiang Palace.
“She... Well, she is a pitiful woman, too.”
On the way, Lin ngya only told the Empress Dowager that Shangguan Dongzhu asked her to spare her children.
As for the Immortal Pill, she had already kept it inside her clothes.
The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Maybe it would work unexpectedly in the end.
“Although she is pitiful, she must bear the consequences of so things that she has done.”
Lin ngya naturally knew that the Empress Dowager was bullied by Shangguan Dongzhu when she was Concubine De.
Even though she had agreed, she had to consider the Empress Dowager’s feelings.
“Yes, you’re right. But I know you are kind-hearted. Don’t worry, The past is the past. I was just going to discuss with you how to deal with Shangguan Dongzhu.”
Lin ngya glanced at the Empress Dowager. Seeing that her expression did not change greatly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Grace, it’s up to you. However, I think it would be better to keep her in the palace and let her die of old age.”
The idea of the Empress Dowager and Lin ngya coincided with each other. The forr Crown Prince, who imprisoned His Majesty and plotted a rebellion, was stripped of his title of Crown Prince and put under house arrest.
Because of Tiancheng’s cruel thods, Shangguan Dongzhu and her son beco lunatics.
Even so, if the surviving supporter of the Crown Prince made a coback one day, they would be the perfect targets.
It was easy to kill people, but the key was how to use them to win others’ loyalty.
“Well, you know the best.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Lin ngya with satisfaction. The more she looked at her daughter-in-law, the happier she felt.
Lin ngya was not only beautiful but also smart.
More importantly, she had a kind heart.
Killing Shangguan Dongzhu and the forr Crown Prince was not a big deal, but the new emperor would be charged with murdering his legal mother and half-brother.
These matters could be big or small, but to an emperor, they could not be neglected at all.
“Your Grace, you are truly magnanimous. Otherwise, based on what they did back then, even letting them die a few hundred tis wouldn’t be enough.”
Lin ngya flattered the Empress Dowager with a smile. Of course, Empress Dowager was glad to hear that.
She reached out her finger and poked Lin ngya in the forehead and said with a smile.
“You smart girl, you know how to talk very well. For so things, we are not willing to do but have to. Even if they can live a peaceful life, they are not what they used to be. Just take it as doing good deeds for my future grandsons.”
Lin ngya blushed when she was teased.
“What are you talking about? I have not married yet.”
Lin ngya lowered her head and felt a burst of bitterness.
It was not that she didn’t want to give birth to Long Tianyu’s child, but...
She shook her head and chased those unimportant thoughts out of her mind.
The most important thing at the mont was to unlock the paradise city and solve the ridiculous mission of the Zuo family and the Lin family.
She could not enjoy life with her beloved one until she solved those big problems.
All of a sudden, Lin ngya felt that her future was like a towering mountain.
Fortunately, she had been working hard to climb to the top of the mountain, and she was almost there to be successful.
Everything was worth it!
After Lin ngya went back to her Yixin Courtyard from Fengxiang Palace, she dismissed everyone, except Baisu, who served her by her side.
She unconsciously took out the Immortal Pill. She just felt sothing particularly strange.
“Why did the leader have such a weird symptom?”
