Chapter 593: Empress Dowager 286 has arrived! (Updated once)_2 Chapter 593: Empress Dowager 286 has arrived! (Updated once)_2 When he regained consciousness, the warning mistake had already been made.
Soon after, his elder sister-in-law became pregnant. To keep it from his elder brother, they drugged him, insisting that they needed to produce an heir for him.
His elder brother believed them.
Consequently, he genuinely thought that the child his sister-in-law was carrying was his.
Throughout her pregnancy, his elder sister-in-law expressed her regret more than once, even considering aborting the child. Even after the child was born, she was extremely indifferent towards it.
Only over time, as Mingming began to laugh, and call for his mother, did her stern heart begin to soften.
Remembering past mistakes, he was perennially worried that his sister-in-law would not want to see the child, truly viewing him as an illegitimate child. So, he took Mingming to his own courtyard.
… When did his elder brother find out?
Was it when Mingming had grown up and he had attempted to force himself on his elder sister-in-law yet again?
Tang Yueshan clenched his fists tightly, abruptly stood up, and took large strides towards the door.
The face of Lady Tang changed as if she had realised something. She threw herself at Tang Yueshan, clinging to his legs: “Don’t kill him! Don’t —”
Tang Yueshan clenched his fists, his eyes blazing: “I admit I wronged him, but how I have treated him over these years, you’ve seen with your own eyes. Even if he sends people to kill me, I wouldn’t bear a grudge! But he wants to kill Mingming!”
Lady Tang cried, pleading: “I beg you… I beg you… Spare him… He lives a life worse than death… Don’t kill him…”
Tang Yueshan laughed coldly: “Ha, maybe he wishes for death. Rather than live in this pain, better to put him out of his misery!”
Lady Tang held onto Tang Yueshan’s legs tightly, her tears soaking his robe: “He is Mingming’s father… If you kill him… What will happen to Mingming…”
Tang Yueshan coldly stated: “I am his father!”
Gu Chengfeng, too engrossed by what he was hearing, didn’t notice his hairband loosen. A strand of long hair suddenly fell, brushing against his cheek, tickling his nose.
An irresistible itch, and he shuddered: “Achoo!”
Gu Chengfeng shut his eyes tight, wishing he could turn bald like Gu Chenglin.
Tang Yueshan and Lady Tang were startled by the unexpected sneeze, Lady Tang’s crying suddenly cut off.
The servant was by the bed, but the sneeze had come from the wardrobe across the room.
Lady Tang stood up, her face turned sheet white!
Tang Yueshan stepped in front of her, watching the wardrobe warily: “Who’s there? Come out!”
There was no movement from inside the wardrobe.
Tang Yueshan launched a palm strike without hesitation. His potent inner energy surged violently towards the wardrobe, disintegrating the door into fragments. Several darts whizzed out.
Using the darts as cover, Gu Chengfeng, pulling Gu Jiao, burst out from the wardrobe. His figure darted out the door in an instant.
Although Tang Yueshan was delayed by the need to avoid the darts, he quickly gave chase.
Even though it happened fast, he recognised one of the men dressed in black. It was the assassin who had tormented Mingming that night!
Tang Yueshan’s teeth gnashed in anger: “Very well, I’ve been looking for you. You even dare to break into my house! If I don’t catch you today, it would be a disgrace to my years of military service!”
Tang Yueshan led his skilled guards in pursuit.
Gu Chengfeng’s lightfoot skill was decent. But the guards weren’t weak, especially the archers they had brought.
The iron cavalry of the Xuanping Marquis Residence, the archers of the Marshal Residence, are renowned throughout the six nations.
Row after row of powerful bows were drawn, sending arrows whizzing through the air like a dark cloud. The entire street was under a deadly rain of arrows!
The two had no choice but to dart into an alley.
Leaning against the wall, listening to the grim crash of the arrows, Gu Chengfeng’s heart pounded: “This is terrifying!”
No wonder cities guarded by the Tang Family’s archers could not even be taken by the Army of Yan Country. They are indeed formidable!
Even though they had dashed into the alley, an arrow came towards them as if it had eyes!
The pair retreated at the same instant!
The arrow lodged into the stone ground, three inches deep, the fluttering fletching casting a shadow!
Even Gu Jiao, who had seen firearms, had to admit the prowess of the Tang Family’s archers.
Compared to the night they chased her, this time, the murderous intent was much heavier. That night, Tang Yueshan had intended to capture her alive and so did not fully exert his strength.
But tonight, they had uncovered the Tang Family’s greatest shame. Tang Yueshan would not let them see tomorrow’s sunrise.
