Chapter 316: Point Out
A flash of surprise passed through Hailan's eyes, and the sudden ripples on the calm lake surface were accurately captured by Yanwan.
The corners of Yanwan's lips curled up slightly, and a sneer escaped her, and there was a chilling feeling in her laughter that seemed to see through everything.
"Look at you in this life. Your eyes look quite unfamiliar. I imagine you're filled with doubts. You're probably wondering why I came back to this life and completely abandoned the old path of my previous life, only to end up with the exact same outcome, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yanwan took light steps and slowly stood up.
She had a graceful figure, and with every move she made, her bright yellow sleeves fluttered gracefully. The finely inlaid gold threads seemed to hide the sunlight, instantly emitting a dazzling light that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Time seems to be particularly kind to her. Although her youth has passed, she is still charming and graceful, and her every move is shocking.
But in an instant, Yan Wan had walked in front of Hai Lan. The two were only one step away from each other, and the air around them seemed to become solemn.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense, like a fully drawn bowstring. Hailan was the first to give up the deadlock, and anger seemed to be burning in her eyes.
"You are the one behind all this!"
She raised her voice, trying her best to overpower the other person with her momentum, but her voice trembled slightly uncontrollably. Upon closer listening, the accusation inexplicably revealed a lack of confidence.
Yanwan raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke slowly, her tone seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Oh? Really? Listen to what you're saying, and do you truly believe it? Hailan, think carefully about why Ruyi in both lives couldn't escape death? The crux of the matter has never been me, Wei Yanwan. Her heart and eyes were filled with the Emperor, but in the end, it was precisely this love that dragged her into the abyss. It was clearly that heartless and suspicious Emperor who killed her... Even if I were gone, there would be thousands of Wei Yanwans emerging from this harem, pressing forward step by step amidst this treacherous situation."
Yanwan turned around with a flick of her sleeves, snorted coldly, and looked disgusted.
"Men are inherently lustful and passionate. You've been reborn, and you're still trying to excuse him? Could it be that these perverse theories have been running through your mind all day long?"
She walked lightly with lotus steps, strolled leisurely to the side, and lowered her eyes to admire the cluster of jasmine flowers in full bloom.
She had a graceful figure and her every move was nonchalant. She didn't even bother to glance at Hai Lan. Her words were full of contempt as she said it lightly.
"Some things, if you can't see through them, you will only repeat the same mistakes and be trapped in this situation forever."
After saying this, he lightly brushed the delicate petals with his fingertips, as if smiling.
Indeed, if Hai Lan realized that the problem was with her, she would never have come to see Yan Wan.
Hai Lan's eyes were filled with dejection as she murmured, "Is all this destined by fate? My sister is destined to cut off her hair and become heartless, to lose her life in this deep palace..."
The sadness in her words was like a layer of haze, instantly disturbing the air around her. She didn't even realize that her hands had unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
This dejection seemed to be contagious, causing Hailan's body to tremble slightly, and panic flooded her heart like a tide.
"In this life, I never harmed her, nor did I hurt any of the heirs in the harem. Seeing her get to this point, ask yourself, am I really the mastermind behind this?"
Hailan ignored Yanwan's words and just kept muttering, her voice trembling, every word was soaked in despair, as if she was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't get out.
"Why? Why, time and again, does it always end in such a tragic way? Since I can't escape the fate of destiny, what's the point of me fighting my way back?"
Yan Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she sneered.
"Destiny? Humph, I never believe in such nonsense! One's own fate must be firmly in the palm of one's hand. Hailan, it may be difficult to change the fate of others, but it's different for you. Think of your sister who passed away unjustly, think of your pitiful son who died young. They died so miserably! Can you really watch the culprit live freely in this palace?"
"Ask yourself, can you do it? Don't you want to seek justice for your loved ones and avenge this blood feud?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, but the words she spoke were like thunder, each one trembling with fear and filled with rebellion and offense.
Hailan's heart trembled violently. Yanwan's words were like a stone dropped into the lake of her heart, stirring up ripples. In an instant, a panicked thought broke out.
change?
But soon, my heart and eyes were filled with fear - No!
That is a mortal sin. Once you take this step, the lives of nine generations of your family will be implicated!
Hailan's face turned pale, cold sweat seeping from her forehead. Before the horrible thought could take shape, she forcibly suppressed it in its cradle.
She was breathing heavily, feeling lost.
Fate, does she really have to accept her fate?
Hailan's eyes were red, her gaze was wandering, she clenched her fists, but her body still couldn't stop shaking slightly, and her heart was in torment.
Yan Wan saw her panic clearly.
A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of Yanwan's lips, and she lightly tapped her tongue with a clicking sound.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I thought you, Hailan, were so special, filled with deep affection for your sister and son. Now it seems you're just all talk and no action, all talk and no action. Since you're determined to be a coward, then just play dumb from now on. Just open your eyes and take a good look. Expecting the person who started this to show even a hint of guilt towards your sister? Oh, that's just daydreaming!"
After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, looking impatient, and said lightly.
"Chunchan, show the guests out."
His tone was full of ridicule, as if he was too lazy to waste any more words or deal with Hailand.
Looking at Hailan's distraught look, Yanwan shook her head in her heart, feeling bored. Without even blinking an eye, she turned away with a wave of her sleeves.
Hai Lan stood there in a daze like a wooden sculpture, unable to recover for a long time, and allowed Chun Chan to take her out of Yongshou Palace.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she shuddered when a cold wind blew and looked around in confusion.
She didn't know where to go next.
Chunchan looked at Hailan's stumbling back, her brows furrowed, full of doubt. She leaned in closer and asked quietly, "Master, what's happening to Concubine Yu?"
She was guarding outside the hall just now, and could only hear the sounds of the confrontation inside without knowing anything about it.
Yanwan folded her hands leisurely in her sleeves, her eyes deep, as if she could see through the corner of the palace wall.
"She's still stuck in her obsession. This place is closest to Yikun Palace. If she goes there, she'll naturally understand."
The grudges and entanglements of two lives, Hai Lan's every move, every thought and every idea, have long been grasped accurately by Yan Wan.
After all, they are rivals. Through calculations and scheming over a long period of time, they can sometimes understand each other's temperament better than close friends.
The hatred is so deep-rooted that it allows one to see through people's hearts clearly, and nothing can be hidden or avoided.
