Chapter 192 The Abnormal Love
With the sound of the gloomy and cold voice, Sima Ray came closer to the dark entrance. His every step seemed to force Qin Yunuan to fall into hell, which was so frightening.
Sima Ray seemed to have predicted Qin Yunuan would come here. He stepped closer with a gloomy smile, and then looked at Qin Yunuan, “You came as I expected.”
Qin Yunuan straightened her body. Though she was in a weak circumstance, she shouted powerfully, “I have guessed that you have known early that I would come to the Imperial Clan Court.”
Sima Ray suddenly laughed out, “So you still came and fell into the trap?”
“Because this is the fastest way to meet you.” If Qin Yunuan had figured it out right, Ting Xue would have left and reported to Leng Shuang before Sima Ray came.
Sima Ray showed more extravagant laugh and sneered, “You miss me so much.”
Qin Yunuan asked straightly, “Where is Changxi?”
Sima Ray turned cold immediately, “So you just want to see your mask-general? He died.” Sima Ray said in a light and casual voice.
“Impossible.” Qin Yunuan knew well the trick played by Sima Ray, “You are alive. Changxi can’t die.”
“I hate that you two trust each other,” Sima Ray came very closer, and his nose almost touched the forehead of Qin Yunuan, “I hate it. I hate it.”
“Third Prince,” Qin Yunuan suddenly sneered, “don’t you know that now you are so abnormal? Indeed.”
Sima Ray suddenly shuddered and took a few steps back. He stared at Qin Yunuan with ridiculous eyes, and then suddenly laughed out. The little eunuch who had served Sima Ray for some days had never seen that his master turned to be so crazy and insolent.
“Bind her back. No, take her back politely.” Sima Ray told the man in black aside who appeared somehow, “Remember, take her back politely. Give her the best clothes and wine. I want her to be my prettiest canary.”
Qin Yunuan did not fear. She just turned back to stare at Sima Qiu for a long time, who was imprisoned. She opened her mouth slightly and said something in a weeny voice. But she knew that Sima Qiu could understand what she meant by his listening.
When they got out of the Imperial Clan Court, Qin Yunuan saw the leading watchman who let her in had been beaten heavily. His arms and legs had been dislocated completely. He must be a disabled man, even if he could survive.
Sima Ray looked at the disabled man lying on the ground arrogantly, and then treaded him heavily, “Such an uncompetitive man can’t be my follower.”
Qin Yunuan was taken into the special horse carriage of Sima Ray and sat opposite him. Those eunuchs and imperial maidservants who walked on the imperial path lowered their heads and stepped aside after they saw the carriage. There were master-hands of Sima Ray who were disguised as eunuchs on both sides of the carriage. Thus, Qin Yunuan had no chance to escape. She did not want to escape because she had come here and would not leave before she figured all things out.
“How about the Qiankun Palace?” The silent Qin Yunuan suddenly asked, “you controlled the palace too?”
The Qiankun Palace was the chamber of Emperor Zhaoxuan. Sima Ray could enter and leave the Imperial Clan Court casually without the intervening of the emperor, so he was likely to have controlled the Qiankun Palace.
The relaxed Sima Ray suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Qin Yunuan. He smiled, “In your heart, am I so powerful? So, at least I have a good impression in your heart.”
Qin Yunuan tilted her head and quickly answered, “So you did not control the palace.”
Sima Ray fondled his long fingers of the right hand with much interest. His five fingers like umbrella stands were supporting the hand powerfully. And then he clenched his fist quickly, which symbolized the master all things, “Soon.”
Qin Yunuan raised her eyes and looked at him. Sima Ray turned to be prouder, “My father feels not well now. He stays in his chamber to nourish and recover his body. So now all he knows is what I want him to know.”
“You put the emperor under your house arrest.” Qin Yunuan said with fierce eyes, “You should be punished to death by dismembering your body.”
The horse carriage stopped slowly at the gate of the Jingchen Palace. Sima Ray raised his head and laughed, “Yes. I should be punished to death by dismembering my body. I should be dead when my mother gave birth to me in the Cold Palace. Empress Chen dispatched people to throttle my mother after she gave birth to me. And then they threw the baby who had no breathing at that time in the grass outside the Cold Palace. But the rain helped me survive hard. Leng Changxi was nobody. Prince Ning’s Mansion gave all he had. He had the best master to teach him martial arts and warcraft. I climbed to this position from an abandoned baby by regarding Empress Chen as my mother menially. Leng Changxi can’t compare to me.”
His gloomy words were like the cold winter wind, which made Qin Yunuan feel more frightened to the man in front of her. Sima Ray knew clearly that Empress Chen killed his mother and even planned to kill him. But he had pretended to be a pious son for ten years. All he did was to revenge one day. Now Sima Ray had turned to be an extremely mentally abnormal demon. Each thing he wanted to destroy would be destroyed by him immediately.
“There is love in the heart of Changxi,” Qin Yunuan said lightly, “Though he is cold externally, he is warm in his heart. Though you believe that you have gained the glory, your heart seems to be hollowed out half by borers. It’s empty now. You are so poor and pathetic.”
Sima Ray stepped down the horse carriage calmly and turned back. He said to Qin Yunuan, “I regard all your words just now as the praise to me.” And then he reached out his hands and was about to help Qin Yunuan step down.
“No.” Qin Yunuan pushed the slender right hands of Sima Ray away and stepped down steadily by clenching the handrail of the horse carriage.
Sima Ray said nothing and just smile. He let Qin Yunuan walk in front of him politely. Qin Yunuan saw a little imperial maidservant standing in front of the palace after they entered the Jingchen Palace. The imperial maidservant walked closer when she saw Sima Ray.
Qin Yunuan felt a little bit familiar with the little imperial maidservant. She probably had met the girl in Qin Family.
“Third Prince, you come back. Third Princess felt not well today. She felt pain in the whole morning, and just mumbled your name.”
She was the maidservant who came to the imperial palace with Qin Yunzhuang. Sima Ray glanced at Qin Yunuan aside and then said to the little imperial maidservant coldly, “She felt not well. Why didn’t she report to the imperial doctors? It is useless to report to me.” The little imperial maidservant felt embarrassed but then found Sima Ray turned back. She thought Sima Ray would come to see her master, but he just said in a disgusting voice, “And, do not let her call my name again. I dislike it. Even if I did not heart it, I would feel disgusted.”
The little imperial maidservant quit. Sima Ray turned to look at Qin Yunuan immediately, “That woman hurt you together with Dou Qing’e in Qin Family. Do you feel happy when you see how I treat her?”
Qin Yunuan gave Sima Ray an angry stare. She thought this guy was totally mentally abnormal.
Those imperial maidservants surrounded Qin Yunuan and sent her to the east side palace. The decoration of the palace was far more luxurious than Prince Ning’s Mansion. Emperor Zhaoxuan would feel outrageous if he knew that his competent and frugal assistant Sima Ray lived in such an extravagant life secretly.
On the way, Qin Yunuan paid attention to the circumstance around. The smell of the air proved that Leng Changxi had come here. The scent was so light, but she knew that Leng Changxi was likely to have left the most dangerous place already.
Qin Yunzhuang was the Third Prince’s Wife, who had a formal marriage, so she knew quickly that Qin Yunuan had come. When she heard that Sima Ray did not come to see her because he wanted to stay with Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunzhuang rushed at the east side palace with some people. Qin Yunuan was leaning against the carving pane, and she could see clearly the ugly Qin Yunzhuang, who was very noisy outside.
“You are such a mean and lewd woman, get out! How dare you seduce my husband. Why do you hide inside? Are you scared? Get out!” And then she took off her expensive embroidered shoes with Mandarin duck pattern, and then threw them to the pain.
The sound of the hit made Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows slightly and then turned back silently. She did not want to make contact with Qin Yunzhuang. Qin Yunzhuang was insane like Sima Ray.
“Qin Yunuan, how dare you hide inside?” Qin Yunzhuang still kept her pretty face but now was like a shrew standing at the entrance of a lane. She was about to rush into the room with her single shoe, but a gloomy low voice behind astonished her.
“What are you doing?”
Sima Ray had stood behind Qin Yunzhuang silently somehow.
Qin Yunzhuang felt stunned and turned back. She saw Sima Ray, and her ferocious face immediately turned soft. She came closer to Sima Ray with a smile, “Third Prince, you come back? But why didn’t you tell me that you took Third Sister back as a guest in the imperial palace?”
“Why should I tell you?” Sima Ray looked so impatient, “Who are you? I had told you on your first day when you married into the Jingchen Palace that you should not think highly of yourself. You are just my nominal wife.”
Suddenly Qin Yunzhuang cried. She ignored the warning from the little imperial maidservant aside and responded bravely, “The other day, you let me contact with my cousin sister from Dou Family secretly and wanted her to help you gain the achievement. Why didn’t you say that I was your nominal wife on that day? Sima Ray, my elder brother, died due to you. And now Qin Family tried its best to support you, and I let my cousin sister from Dou Family give you all the remaining killers in Dou Family to help you. Why do you still treat me like that?”
“Oh?” Sima Ray felt funny about the words of Qin Yunzhuang, “You tell me. Is there any other choice for you apart from helping me?”
Qin Yunzhuang suddenly understood. Yes, now her life was at the mercy of Sima Ray. She had no other choice.
At this moment, Du Sheng whispered to Sima Ray. Sima Ray frowned and thought that the man should come. And then he left quickly.
