Chapter 701 - Guilt of war, not less than a curse. (2/2)
The rings on the hands were the rings that were passed onto the generations and were a symbol of royal power which can be only worn by Tan Dynasty's Emperor and Empress.
Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably as she tried to breathe while trying to ignore this bloody pungent smell. The fact that it was her parent's hands made it worse for her. She turned to the side and puked due to the bloody pungent smell.
She never thought that she would lose her parents this way. This was the most horrible way for someone to lose their loved ones. In a single moment, her whole life has turned upside down.
Yang Hanying looked at her pale expressions and felt uncomfortable seeing her in this state. But the monster inside him refused to pity her. He smirked and said, ” I wanted to bring their heads at first but I thought it would be too much for you. So I just asked them to bring their hands. I did the right thing right?” he asked while grinning, looking at her as if she will compliment him for his thoughtfulness.
Tan Xiu wailed while clutching her chest which was hurting as if someone had stabbed her multiple times.
” Father….Mother….” she sniffled while calling their names and remembered how her father canceled this marriage just for her sake.
Yang Hanying's expressions darkened as he turned to his men, ” Capture this palace. Also, prepare to leave for the Yang Dynasty. We're going back. The war is over, let's go.”
Tan Xiu who was crying stopped and looked at him in horror.
” Who said the war is over? The eastern and western borders are still in the tussle. And even if you capture the palace, it doesn't mean that the war is over. You...you can't do that.” She shouted while looking at his disgusted face.
Yang Hanying scoffed seeing how confident she looks.
” Ah, seems like you don't know. The war is over Princess Tan Xiu. The eastern and western borders have been captured by my men already. Looks like you haven't got the news yet.” he smirked.
Her face turned white as a sheet as she tried to settle his words in her mind. War has ended? But Yuan Song...
” How can it end? Brother Yuan Song was at the eastern border….with him the war cannot end.” she cried, while her hands trembled in fear.
Yang Hanying's expressions darkened when he heard her call that man brother. ” Hah. Since the borders can't be captured with him there, we removed him from our way. We have to say that Yuan SOng was quite strong but in the end, he lost it with our manpower and advanced weapons. Tsk. Tsk. If he had worked for us, he would have become a successful commander but...he chose to be with losers.” he shook his head and sighed weakly in disappointment.
”-_-”
Tan Xiu felt her breath stuck in her throat as everything seemed to be spinning. She closed her eyes and slowly fell into the pit of darkness, as her body slumped on the ground.
