Chapter 1646 Suicide
Chapter 1646 Suicide
Master Xingchen met Li Changde's gaze, his expression unchanged: "Please speak, Eunuch Li."
Li Changde said, "Consort Feng confessed that there is an old scar shaped like a crescent moon below the Master's right scapula. It is light in color and is usually covered by his monk's robe, so ordinary people would hardly know about it."
"On the left side of my waist, there are three very small red moles arranged in a triangular pattern."
"besides……"
With each word Li Changde spoke, Master Xingchen's calm and composed face stiffened slightly.
These characteristics are all private matters. Unless there was an extremely intimate relationship, how could Consort Feng, a concubine deep in the palace, know them so clearly and in such detail?!
This cannot be explained by conjecture or misinformation; it is irrefutable evidence!
Li Changde stared intently at Master Xingchen, not missing a single subtle change in his expression, and continued to press, "If Consort Feng is truly, as you say, just an ordinary pilgrim who has only met you a few times, then may I ask, Master, where did she learn these things?"
"Even your personal disciples might not be aware of these hidden features. Could it be that Consort Feng possesses the ability to see through things?"
"Or did the master deliberately undress and display himself in front of people during one of his 'sermons'?"
This statement is an extremely sharp satire.
Master Xingchen could no longer maintain his composure.
He was silent.
All excuses seem ridiculous in the face of irrefutable private details...
At this moment, Consort Feng, who had been staring intently at Master Xingchen, suddenly clutched her stomach and collapsed, curling up in pain.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down her forehead...
Chu Shuxian, standing nearby, stared in horror at the glaring dark red beneath Consort Feng, and cried out, "Blood...blood..."
"She's bleeding a lot!"
The intense emotional turmoil and days of fright finally overwhelmed Consort Feng, whose pregnancy was already unstable, causing her to bleed.
Li Changde frowned and gestured for the guards waiting outside to come in and handle the situation.
Two burly guards quickly stepped forward and, half-dragged and half-carried, removed the groaning, blood-stained Consort Feng from the room.
A winding, glaring trail of blood was left on the ground.
Throughout the entire process, Master Xingchen stood motionless, his face expressionless.
Be calm, show no pity, and feel no guilt.
There wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
At this moment, he finally shed all pretense.
Chu Shuxian witnessed all of this, and a chill ran down her spine...
She stared intently at Master Xingchen, her heart pounding, and said, "Xingchen, we lost our chastity for you, conceived an illegitimate child, and suffered endless torment!"
"But what about you? You stand here, clean and tidy, cold and indifferent, as if none of this concerns you..."
"What is your heart made of? Is it stone? Or do you not have a heart at all?!"
Master Xingchen's eyes were no longer compassionate, but only a bottomless darkness remained: "The sins of the mortal world are all self-inflicted."
"You two benefactors have willingly fallen into depravity, reaping bitter consequences. Why then should you resent this poor monk?"
What a shameless act of self-degradation!
He finally revealed his true colors beneath the mask of a holy monk: extremely selfish, ruthless, and utterly irresponsible!
Chu Shuxian understood that she and Consort Feng were like moths drawn to a warm, sacred light, but in reality, they were engulfed in a raging inferno...
Before long, the heavy iron gate was pushed open again.
A guard bowed to Li Changde and said, "Eunuch Li, Madam Feng has suffered a miscarriage and is bleeding profusely..."
"He just... passed away."
Chu Shuxian was shocked!
died……
Consort Feng and that unborn child are truly dead...
I will end up like that myself.
She looked up at Master Xingchen.
The news of Consort Feng's death did not elicit the slightest reaction from him.
It was as if the one who had just died was not a woman who had been intimate with him and borne him children, but an insignificant ant.
"Hahaha--"
Chu Shuxian suddenly laughed, but tears streamed down her face: "She's dead... It's better that she's dead too..."
"It's my turn next, isn't it?"
She stopped looking at Master Xingchen and said to Li Changde, "Eunuch Li, we were foolish, we were stupid... We were blinded by men's sweet words and so-called Buddhist affinity, thinking we were truly chosen ones, capable of possessing extraordinary true love..."
"But little did they know that it was all a trap from the very beginning..."
"We not only ruined ourselves, conceived an unwanted child, and suffered endless humiliation and torment... but we also dragged down our families, parents, brothers, and sisters..."
"They know nothing, yet they will suffer utter destruction because of our stupidity and filth..."
"I...I regret it so much...I really regret it!"
Genuine remorse, heart-wrenching.
Only now did Chu Shuxian realize with absolute clarity the irreparable bitter consequences of her momentary infatuation...
Ultimately, the bitter fruit of this tragedy will be borne by her closest loved ones...
Li Changde listened to Chu Shuxian's heart-wrenching words of remorse, but his face remained unmoved.
He had seen far too much palace intrigue and scheming.
These two women are indeed pitiful, but they chose their own path and must bear the bitter consequences themselves.
Li Changde looked at Xingchen and asked coldly, "Now that things have come to this, what do you have to say?"
Xingchen said expressionlessly, "They're just two foolish women."
"Stupid?! You have the nerve to call us stupid?!"
Chu Shuxian struggled violently, ignoring the rattling of her chains, and glared at Xing Chen, saying hatefully, "Yes! We were fools! We were led astray by you, you evil spirit in disguise!"
"But Xingchen, remember this! In this life, in the next life, and for all eternity, you will never be free!!!"
Every word she uttered was a curse filled with blood and tears: "You used Buddha to deceive the world, committed adultery in the palace, and harmed lives... You will be punished!"
"Buddha will not protect you; he will only send you to the deepest hell, where you will suffer the burning flames of karma and never be reborn!!!"
"Your schemes and ambitions will all vanish like bubbles! Everything you cherish will be utterly destroyed before your very eyes!"
"I curse you to be abandoned by everyone, to die a gruesome death, and to have your soul scattered to the winds!!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Shuxian gathered the last of her strength and, before Li Changde and the guards could react, suddenly slammed her head against the hard stone wall beside her!
"boom--!!!"
A muffled thud was heard, which was particularly terrifying in the secret room.
Chu Shuxian's body slid softly to the ground, blood gushing from her forehead, quickly staining her disheveled hair and half of her cheek red.
Her eyes were still open, staring straight in Xingchen's direction.
Li Changde frowned.
The guard stepped forward quickly, checked Chu Shuxian's breath and pulse, then withdrew his hand and shook his head: "Your Excellency, she is dead."
