SFS Chapter 319: Li's End
Chapter 319: Li's End
"Why did you suddenly say such a thing? I just wish you well. As for other things, as long as Honghui is not harmed, anything can be forgiven," the Fourth Lady smiled slowly, but sneered in her heart. Kind? She has never been kind. Li can't live!
The Fourth Master will not let her live, so why not be more generous?
From the moment Li attacked Honghui, she never thought of letting Li live, but she would not leave any handle behind when doing things!
I wonder how Li would feel if I used her life to fulfill the magnanimity and kindness of my wife?
It’s a pity that Li is a little crazy!
"I feel at ease with you here. You treated the people who plotted to murder you in the backyard like this. I am a little touched. Don't stand. Sit down too." The Fourth Master looked at the chair next to him and pulled the Fourth Lady to sit down. Their eyes met. The Fourth Master continued, "You look a little tired. Did you not sleep well last night? Do you want to go and have a rest? I am here. You can rest assured. Nothing will happen."
"But~" The Fourth Lady hesitated, "How can I, the Lady, be absent while my sister is giving birth? Go back and rest."
"I am here. If anyone dares to gossip, I will not let him go." The fourth master glanced at all the servants in the courtyard, then looked at the fourth wife, his face suddenly softened, "Go and rest quickly, this is my order."
"Listen to me, I'll take my place after a short rest," the Fourth Lady got up and left Li's courtyard with a little fatigue. When she returned to the main courtyard and lay on the bed, there was no trace of fatigue on her face, but she still closed her eyes to rest, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. She couldn't bear to witness Li's death!
In the Li family courtyard, Li's screams were heard. The court doctor Wang Jue came out of the room and nodded gently to the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them, looked at Wang Jue and nodded in return.
Wang Jue continued to go back to the house. A moment later, a baby's cry was heard, followed by Li's hemorrhage.
The smell of blood filled the air, the house was thick with odor, all the servants had already been taken away from the courtyard, and only the Fourth Master knew where they had gone.
At this moment, the Fourth Master stood in front of Li's bed, looking at the dying Li who had regained consciousness, "She gave birth to a prince."
Li was weak and knew she would not survive, but she was unwilling to accept it. She looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar Fourth Master in front of her, "Did you do it? Why? I can help you, so why can't you tolerate me? Just... just because I murdered Honghui?"
"I didn't intend to tell you, but I know that you have been by my side for two lifetimes and gave birth to children for me, which is a great contribution. Li, you murdered Honghui but Honghui survived. I will punish you but not execute you. After all, you were pregnant at the time. Your death has nothing to do with the murder of Honghui and the jealousy and scheming against others in the backyard!" The Fourth Master looked down at Li who was lying on the bed, seeing that she was full of resentment and grievance.
"Why is that?" Li looked at the Fourth Master whom she had loved for two lifetimes. The biggest mistake she had made was to murder Honghui. If it wasn't because of this, then what was the reason?
"If Honghui really had something wrong, I wouldn't have kept you, but since Honghui is fine and you're pregnant, I'll keep you. Your fate now is not because of Honghui, but because you're brainless and ambitious, and you're dreaming about things you shouldn't be thinking about. If you keep you here, I'll have endless troubles," the Fourth Master looked at Li, "If you don't have a brain that matches it, don't have dreams that you shouldn't have, otherwise you'll hurt yourself and others."
Li didn't expect that her own death was caused by her ambition to be reborn. "But sir, I... I know what happened later. Don't you want to know?"
"You still don't understand," the Fourth Master sneered. Even when he was about to die, he was still proud that she knew about her past life and what was going to happen next. "Since I was once the winner, why do I still need you to give me orders? Because you are stupid? Because you are ambitious? Because you are so high up that you want to command me?"
The Fourth Master really couldn't understand what she was thinking. Looking at Li's frail appearance, the Fourth Master sighed softly, "Until now, Li, you have never asked a single question about the prince you gave birth to."
"I'm going to die soon, why would I care about that? Haha... Besides, don't I have the master here?" Li looked at the Fourth Master and laughed at herself. "Anyway, I'm stupid, and my son will be stupid too. When the time comes, he will be adopted by the master. What else can I ask? Maybe he can live a better life without me as his mother, Yinzhen!"
Li wanted to be bold for once and looked directly into the Fourth Master's eyes, "Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen, you are still the ruthless Fourth Master, from the beginning to the end!" After she finished speaking, she was panting as if she was about to choke on a breath, and she could no longer look directly at the Fourth Master, because at this moment she was so weak that she seemed to have little strength to lift her eyelids.
"You are right. Don't see me again in the next life." The Fourth Master looked at Li, who was so weak that she was almost out of breath. "You will be buried as a concubine. This is the last thing I can give you."
"Ahem...Okay," Li turned her head away, not wanting to look at the Fourth Master again, "Those people around me...those servants...are all...gone, right?"
The Fourth Master did not answer because there was no need. He would not leave any hidden dangers, otherwise he didn't know what those servants would say when the child grew up.
"I know...I know, Master." Li was a little unwilling, but she still turned her head and tried to open her eyes to look at the Fourth Master, "Master, did you really...really love me?"
The fourth master frowned. What's the point of asking these questions at this time? Shouldn't he say something useful, such as for the children, for the family, etc.?
What's the point of worrying about these things? Of course, he loves himself!
"I have liked her," the Fourth Master looked at Li and answered truthfully, "I love myself, power and the Qing Dynasty. As for everyone in the backyard, I only like you. At first it was you, and now it's Fu Jin. Or I can say that I love the Qing Dynasty and now I have Fu Jin, but not you!"
"Master is still...still the same as before and won't lie to me, even...even if the truth is so unpleasant," Li's tears fell, "Have I...changed? If...I haven't changed, will Master still love me?"
"At first, you only had me and peace and comfort in your eyes. Later, you paid less attention to me and only wanted more power and love. If you hadn't changed, I would have always liked you, but there are no ifs in the world." The Fourth Master knew himself very well, but he didn't care much about these things. It would hurt, but it wasn't as painful as facing mother's favoritism, so he didn't care about it at all afterwards!
After all, even his mother doesn’t love him. He is the only one in the world who loves himself the most. It is normal for others not to love him!
There would be no pain if there was no expectation.
Li's tears fell, thinking back to everything she had with the Fourth Master in the past. She wanted more and more. She even began to dream of overthrowing the wife and having a legitimate son or even the position of future crown prince. She was the one who had changed!
It was not until now, even until this moment, that she realized that the endings of her two lives were all caused by herself.
The fourth master frowned, his eyes full of coldness, and only asked about love, love, love, love. He had just reminded her, but she didn't say a word for the child?! Shouldn't she mention the child at this time? Shouldn't she seek help for the child?
