Chapter 29: In order to kill you, I will risk everything even my body
"This luminous pearl has a very beautiful name, 'Pearl Tears'. Outsiders only know it as a treasure of your own country.
I only know that it is a priceless night pearl. Only people with a certain status in my country know that it is a key. Many people think that it is the key to a treasure and try their best to get it, but no one knows that it is just a key to death row.
key."
Pan Ai paused and sighed.
"My father is inside. I sold my appearance, my body, and the person I loved. After waiting for five full years, I thought I finally got it, but it's all because of that bitch Jiang Wuhua, who ruined it.
all my plans."
I suddenly understood why Pan Ai was so disdainful when she saw the Luminous Pearl, and why she was so anxious when she lost it. This Luminous Pearl was her hope to save her father, but it was also the shame of her life.
"So, you have been following me for so many years just to get this night pearl?" Sikong Fu's voice came faintly. His legs seemed to have been filled with lead. He crossed the threshold of the palace and walked step by step with difficulty.
When he came to Pan Ai, his tone was full of self-mockery. Come to think of it, he had been standing outside the palace door for a long time.
When I saw Sikong Fu, Pan Ai's aura of aura and sadness seemed to be less strong. I even had the illusion of seeing a flash of shame in her eyes.
"Tell me, in the past five years, have you ever been sincere for a moment?" Sikong Fu stared at Pan Ai for a moment. Rather than questioning Pan Ai, it was better to say that he was like a child who had lost his candy and was looking for a good thing.
The answer tells him that the sweetness of the candy has been left in his heart, and he once owned it.
"No, not even for a moment."
Pan Ai was categorical, word for word.
"I could have had a good family, but you, a foolish king, listened to the slander and sent my father to death row and my mother to an official prostitute. Unable to bear the pressure, she threw herself into a well. I was only twelve years old that year.
I just started to learn how to be a lady, waiting for my beloved to marry me three years later. Just because of your words, I lost everything.
Do you know how I survived? Whenever I am pressed under those disgusting men, I want to cut you into pieces. I swear, as long as I rescue my father, I will kill you."
Sikong Fu's expression suddenly changed, his sharp pupils tightened, and he did not give any explanation. However, Yelu Zihan, who had never meddle in other people's business, spoke for the first time.
"The Imperial Concubine is nineteen years old this year. It happened seven years ago. If I remember correctly, Brother Sikong, it was you who succeeded to the throne seven years ago. As soon as you ascended the throne, you thoroughly investigated the flood and embankment collapse incident in the northwest eight years ago.
A total of twenty-three officials who had enriched their own pockets were captured. Among them, those who had committed the most corruption were sentenced to death by having their homes confiscated, while the rest had their homes confiscated and sent to death row."
Sikong Fu smiled bitterly, "Brother Yelu really has a good memory."
Pan Ai denied it frantically and said in a hoarse voice:
"No, that's not the case. My father is an upright official. Even when local bullies bribed him, he was unmoved. He told me that everything the people of this country do is for the country. Before you can be worthy of the country, you must be a worthy person.
My own conscience, how could such a person be corrupt? You are all lying to me."
