Daqing: Chen Pingping's adopted son, biological mother Ye Qingmei

Page 127

In the flickering firelight, a tall, slender figure stepped into the secret chamber.

The 27-year-old man was dressed in a long, dark robe. His face was so handsome it was almost demonic, and a faint smile played on his lips. In the dim light, his narrow eyes gleamed with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Your Majesty, we've kept you waiting."

Chen Qingfeng's voice was deep and pleasant, yet it made the Empress's blood freeze.

"Ok?"

The Empress frowned and stared intently at Chen Qingfeng, clearly having never seen him before.

Seeing the Empress's bewildered and helpless expression.

Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said:

"how?"

"Don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's brows furrowed even more deeply, but she feigned composure and said:

"Who...who are you? Why did you kidnap me and bring me here?"

Chen Qingfeng did not answer the Empress's question. The next moment, he had a thought and immediately activated the Nine Dragons Body Control Technique!

"Hoohoo!"

One after another, dragon roars rang out, and golden light emanated from Chen Qingfeng's body.

Then it became clear that nine golden dragons were coiled and roaring on Chen Qingfeng's body.

"what?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Empress's pupils contracted sharply, and her throat felt as if it were being choked by an invisible hand. It took her a long time to manage to utter a sound:

"It's...it's you!"

"Are you Chen Qingfeng?"

At first, she didn't recognize her.

After all, it had been more than a decade since he had last seen Chen Qingfeng.

After the Taiping Villa massacre, Chen Qingfeng was taken away by Chen Pingping.

Meanwhile, the Empress's maternal relatives were completely wiped out by Chen Pingping's Black Cavalry.

The Empress herself was relegated to Kunning Palace.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

Although she had never met Chen Qingfeng, the Empress knew his identity.

She didn't even tell Crown Prince Li Chengqian about this.

To the Empress's utter surprise, it was Chen Qingfeng who had imprisoned her in this dungeon.

Just as the Empress was stunned and lost in thought, Chen Qingfeng chuckled coldly and said:

"Surprised, Your Majesty?"

"Our second meeting took place in such a setting."

"Thinking back to those days, the way Her Majesty the Empress wielded swords and spears is truly unforgettable!"

Back when Fan Xian was taken away by Wu Zhu at Taiping Villa, the Empress thought of killing Chen Qingfeng to prevent future troubles.

Who would have thought that Chen Qingfeng was protected by three golden dragons, making him impervious to swords and blades.

Because Chen Pingping and Fan Jian were about to arrive at Taiping Villa, the Empress reluctantly left with her entourage. (bfae)

Chen Qingfeng remembers it very clearly.

At that time, the Empress was frantically wielding a long sword and slashing at herself.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, the Empress's face turned extremely gloomy, and she coldly asked:

"Chen Qingfeng, Chen Pingping told you all these things, didn't she?"

"For so many years, you've put on a show of being a playboy in Kyoto just to make people think you're not worth taking on."

"I never expected you to be so good at hiding things!"

Chen Qingfeng did not refute what the Empress said, taking it as tacit agreement.

Although there are significant discrepancies, such as his knowledge of these things, it is because he was still an infant, but possessed a soul from another world.

It wasn't Chen Pingping who told him that at all.

At this moment, Chen Pingping is unaware that Chen Qingfeng actually already knows his true identity.

"Chen Qingfeng."

"I have misjudged you."

"If I had known you were this kind of person back then, I should have done everything I could to kill you!"

The Empress said with a fierce expression.

She was very scared at first.

But once she learned that Chen Qingfeng had captured her, the Empress was no longer so afraid.

Because she knew that Chen Qingfeng, the transit group, would absolutely not let her go.

Rather than acting so cowardly, it's better to die gracefully.

Upon hearing what the Empress said, Chen Qingfeng remained calm and replied:

"But you can't kill me, can you?"

"When I was just a baby, you couldn't do anything to me even when you were wielding swords and knives. What about later?"

After hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, the Empress gritted her teeth in hatred.

She glared fiercely at Chen Qingfeng and said coldly:

"Chen Qingfeng, you used those methods on the Crown Prince too, didn't you?"

Chen Qingfeng did not answer the Empress, but only smiled meaningfully.

The prince's poisoning was not actually his doing, but rather arranged by Chen Pingping.

However, Chen Qingfeng was too lazy to explain anything further to the Empress.

Seeing that Chen Qingfeng remained silent, the Empress assumed he had acquiesced and coldly smiled:

"I never imagined that Ye Qingmei's son would be so treacherous and cunning."

"They'll use any underhanded means to achieve their goals."

"Chen Qingfeng, I killed your mother. If you want to avenge her, then hurry up and do it!"

The empress was in a somewhat deranged state, and she looked as if she was ready to die.

Seeing the Empress's frenzied state, Chen Qingfeng remained unmoved.

"Do not worry!"

"I won't kill you right now."

"Of course, I will not let any of those who have harmed her go unpunished."

"We'll settle the score eventually!"

The Empress gave a cold laugh and said:

"how?"

"You want to torture me?"

“If I were you, I would do it right now. You should know that I was the one who killed Ye Qingmei with my own hands.”

"As long as...she's dead!"

The Empress's eyes filled with hatred at the thought of Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei, a mere merchant, managed to keep the Emperor Qing staying at the Taiping Villa every night and even made a vicious dog like Chen Pingping submit to her.

What's even more infuriating is that Ye Qingmei actually became pregnant with the emperor's child.

For Ye Qingmei's sake, Emperor Qing made an exception and allowed women to participate in politics, and even drafted commercial laws for her...

The Empress saw all of this.

You must know that she was Emperor Qing's empress, the one who ruled the world.

It was this jealousy that made the Empress determined to kill Ye Qingmei.

Around that time, Emperor Qing also began to gradually become wary of Ye Qingmei.

Thus, through careful planning, they successfully sent Ye Qingmei to her grave.

Although after Ye Qingmei's death, the Empress's maternal relatives were wiped out, and she herself was neglected, spending every night alone in her empty room.

But the Empress did not regret it. As long as Ye Qingmei was dead, it was all worth it.

Upon hearing what the Empress said, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:

"Your Majesty, you are so clever, you must know that Emperor Qing is using you as bait to catch fish, right?"

"From beginning to end, you were just a pawn in his game."

"Just a pawn that can be discarded at any time!"

Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, the Empress's expression changed drastically, and her pupils trembled violently.

Just now, she thought that as long as Ye Qingmei died, everything there would be worthwhile.

But Chen Qingfeng's subsequent words caused her to have a mental breakdown.

Earlier, when Emperor Qing summoned her and told her to go to Cangshan to pray for blessings, she knew that she was nothing more than a pawn.

At that time, the Empress felt a pang of regret.

Thinking back, if I had known that Emperor Qing would be so ruthless, I shouldn't have killed Ye Qingmei in the first place.
