Chapter 232: Husband and Wife Meet

Qu Yuanxiao locked his eyes on Jiuyu, his eyes trembling. He was surprised to see Jiuyu, his lost and found son, here. But before this joy could spread, he saw him standing in front of Su Wan as a protector, and his eyes instantly became cold.

"Jiuyu, come here, let your father take a good look at you."

Qu Yuanxiao waved to Jiuyu.

"Father, stop." Jiuyu repeated: "My mother's death was because..."

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy?" Qu Yuanxiao's face was distorted, and he sneered: "It's the same today. I succeeded in forcing the emperor to abdicate, and I made the rules to avenge your mother. If I lose, it's nothing but death. Stopping at this point today, Jiuyu, do you know the fate your father is facing?"

Jiuyu's face was pale.

"You want to protect the daughter of your enemy and let your father go to jail and be beheaded?" Qu Yuanxiao raised the corner of his lips, and the dark fire in his eyes was jumping wildly, with the momentum of destroying the world and fighting to the death.

Jiuyu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. These were not the results he wanted.

He didn't expect his father to be alive and even wanted revenge.

Although his mother's death was caused by her ambition, as a son, he couldn't interfere.

"Father, no. My sister and I are still alive because... my aunt showed mercy." Jiuyu clenched his hands tightly together, his thoughts turned quickly, trying to find a breakthrough to save both sides: "Su Wan saved my sister, we can't repay kindness with enmity."

Qu Yuanxiao stared at Jiuyu for a long time, disgust surged in his heart, and wanted to kill him together.

But——

Qu Yuanxiao stepped towards Jiuyu: "You said Ge'er is still alive?"

Jiuyu saw that Qu Yuanxiao was soft-hearted, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and continued to persuade: "Father, I will plead with my aunt and the old ancestor to let her let us go this time, we can stay away from the capital and never come back, okay?"

Qu Yuanxiao's expression moved slightly, as if he was convinced by him.

"My sister misses our parents very much. If she knew you were still alive, she would be very happy. We have already lost our mother and don't want to lose our father again." Jiuyu used family affection to impress Qu Yuanxiao.

Qu Yuanxiao was moved and raised his hand to put on Jiuyu's shoulder: "Father thought you died under Qi Min's sword, and I was the only one alive in the world. I was able to live for so many years relying on the obsession of revenge. It's just right that you and Ge'er are still alive." He hugged Jiuyu tenderly, and his momentum suddenly changed. He was murderous and stabbed Su Wan with the dagger in his hand.

The moment the dagger touched Su Wan's neck, it fell to the ground.

Qu Yuanxiao's eyes widened, an arrow pierced his neck, and blood flowed down.

He made a hoarse sound in his throat and fell to the ground.

Jiuyu froze, his lips trembled, he stabbed for a while, and couldn't spit out a word.

Su Wan didn't spill the poison powder in her hand. She stared blankly at the entrance of the palace. Gu Huaizhi was wearing a white robe and standing tall at the entrance. He had a cold look in his eyes and held a bow that he had not yet retracted. He was full of murderous aura.

Mo Yuan and Mo Chen stood on his left and right. Behind him were some fully armed strangers. The long swords in their hands were all stained with blood. There were corpses lying around at their feet, all with their throats cut.

All this happened in an instant.

Su Wan blinked her eyes as if in a dream, but the person in front of her did not disappear.

There was frost in his eyes. He threw down the bow and hooked his finger at her: "Come here."
