Chapter 387 Xie Qi'an's Death
As his sword was about to chop down at Xie Rong, a panic came from behind him.
"Ding--"
The sound of swords clashing was heard, and Xie Nanyuan blocked the sword that was about to hit Xie Rong with a long sword in his hand.
Xie Qian'an was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became fierce and he swept the sword towards Xie Nanyuan.
Xie Nanyuan swept the long sword out of Xie Qian'an's hand in a few strokes, and the long sword was placed on Xie Qian'an's neck.
Xie Qi'an's eyes were filled with resentment, "Xie Nanyuan, you——"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xie Nanyuan was stunned and looked down. A dagger was stuck in Xie Qian'an's heart.
And the man holding the dagger was the emperor!
"flutter--"
The dagger was pulled out, and red blood flowed out from the wound, dyeing the moon-white robe red, which was extremely seductive.
Xie Qian'an looked at his wound and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His gaze slowly shifted from the wound to Xie Rong. There seemed to be shock, confusion, and sadness in his eyes. It seemed as if he had a thousand words to say, but his blood-red lips only uttered four words, "Father, why... why..."
Then it fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Xie Nanyuan's mind went blank for a moment. He calmed down and his eyes fell on the blood-stained dagger held by the emperor. He slowly moved his gaze to his face. Seeing the other party's indifferent expression, he slowly shifted his gaze and looked at Shen Qionghua in the distance.
Shen Qionghua was extremely horrified. She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. Even when Luo Xiyao pinched her arms in panic, she didn't feel the pain.
In the previous life, Xie Qian'an was killed by her own hands.
In this life, she had planned such a big plan. She had thought that the emperor would take into account their kinship and put him under house arrest for life, and she had also thought that the emperor would sentence him to death out of anger. However, she had never thought that Xie Qian'an would die in this way - killed by the emperor, his own father.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Although this is true because he is in the royal family, it is indeed horrifying to see him do it personally.
Even if Xie Qian'an was wrong first and wanted to kill the emperor, the emperor was only doing this in self-defense.
But this unhesitating ruthlessness is truly frightening.
Shen Qionghua subconsciously took a step back.
When Concubine Zhou saw this scene, she screamed, "Ah—An'er! An'er! My An'er!"
Concubine Zhou desperately shook off the soldiers who were blocking her and crawled towards Xie Qian'an.
Concubine Zhou was the emperor's concubine. Although the emperor wanted to sentence her to death, he had not yet abolished her title. Therefore, the soldiers did not dare to have too much physical contact with her.
In addition, the emperor was so shocked by the fact that he had personally killed Prince An that he was not careful enough and Concubine Zhou actually managed to overcome the obstruction and crawl to Xie Qian'an's side.
Concubine Zhou staggered and fell beside Xie Qian'an. She held Xie Qian'an's head and covered the wound on his chest with her other hand.
She sobbed uncontrollably, her voice unaccounted for, "An'er, An'er, don't scare me! Don't die! I'll never compare you to that bastard again. Be well... be well..."
"You can't die... If you die... Mother... What will happen to Mother?"
As she spoke, Concubine Zhou shouted angrily at the surrounding palace servants, "What are you all standing there for? Go get the imperial physician! Go get the imperial physician to save Prince An! Go now!"
Concubine Zhou screamed heart-wrenchingly, but Prince An was originally sentenced to death by the emperor. Now that she failed to assassinate the emperor and was killed by the emperor himself, how could these palace maids dare to disobey the emperor's order and ask the imperial physician to save Prince An?
They could only stand there with their heads down, motionless.
Seeing that they did nothing, Concubine Zhou looked at Xie Rong pleadingly, crying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please! Please save An'er! Save him! He is our child!"
"You ask the imperial physician to save him! If there are any consequences, you can come to me. I will have no complaints!"
"Your Majesty! Please save him! Our child is still young, he hasn't even reached the age for coming of age! He hasn't even married or had children yet! Please save him! Save him!"
"Save him!" Concubine Zhou screamed like a mad woman.
But no matter how she begged, Xie Rong just sat there and watched coldly.
"Mother...Mother..." A weak voice came from his arms. Xie Qian'an used all his remaining strength to pull at Concubine Zhou's clothes with his fingertips.
Blood continued to flow out of his mouth and chest.
Concubine Zhou immediately lowered her head to look at Xie Qian'an, tears and blood mixed together.
She held Xie Qian'an's head with one hand and wiped the blood off Xie Qian'an's body with the other.
But it was too much. Covering the wound on his chest, Xie Qian'an spit out blood from his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but the wound was bleeding again and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wipe it away.
Concubine Zhou's voice trembled, "Too much, too much, why is there so much, why can't I wipe it clean... Why can't I wipe it clean!"
"Mother..." Xie Qian'an shouted and vomited another mouthful of blood.
Concubine Zhou looked dazed and said, "An'er... An'er, don't be afraid. Mother is with you. Mother will save you. Mother will definitely save you!"
"You will get better. When you get better, we will leave the palace. We will not fight anymore. We will not fight anymore!"
"Mother..." Xie Qian'an raised his head with great effort and looked at Concubine Zhou. That look contained too much, regret, reluctance, and guilt. "I'm... I'm sorry... I'm an unfilial son... I've caused you trouble..."
"No...it's not like that. It's my mother who has let you down. It's my mother who is useless..." Concubine Zhou choked.
"Mother... I'm... I'm sorry..." Before he could finish his words, Xie Qian'an breathed his last in Concubine Zhou's arms.
Concubine Zhou felt her hand sink, and Xie Qian'an was already dead. "An'er? An'er? An'er! My An'er——"
Concubine Zhou's sad roar resounded throughout the hall.
