Chapter 81 : A Heavy Duty

Before she even walked into the side hall, she heard extremely unpleasant angry curses coming from inside, Pei Si Yan's brows couldn't help but tighten, killing intent in her eyes skyrocketed as she pushed the door open and pointed her saber straight towards the person kneeling in the centre of the side hall.

"Tantai Si, everything is already over, stop making futile struggles." Pei Si Yan said softly, looking at the wretched Tantai Si with disgust and pleasure, she had never been a person who would repay a grudge because of the so-called "kinship", causing her to deviate from her original wish and set foot in the midst of earthly turmoil again, she would never forgive.

Hearing the person call her name, Tantai Si was furious and shouted, "What kind of a thing are you, how dare you be so rude? I will break you into pieces!"

"Who else do you think would listen to your orders in today's situation?"

Tantai Si looked around in panic and shouted outside, but no one came to answer her. In the silence, she finally felt bone-chilling fear.

"Who the hell are you?!" Even though the person in front of her had a very unfamiliar appearance, she understood that a stranger would never specifically want to see her for no reason, could it be for the purpose of avenging the deaths of those who had died at her hands over the past two years?

Just why, there is a trace of familiarity in the underworld? It seemed that he and this person had met before a long time ago.

"Even though I am unwilling in my heart," Pei Si Yan sighed helplessly, "verbally, I still have to call you ... sister." Watching Tantai Si's expression change from shock to shame and anger, her mood improved.

"Cunning bitch!" Tantai Si cursed loudly, "You, you will never win what you want!"

"Little Si, borrowing from what you once said, as the losing party, you have no qualifications to speak about me." Pei Si Yan sneered coldly, "Even though I don't agree with this point of view, the different words and actions back and forth from your point of view are too ridiculous."

Tantai Si pursed her lips and trembled, her almond eyes were bloodshot, her fingers secretly gripped her clothes tightly, trying to calm herself down, not letting the woman in front of her look down on herself and take the opportunity to sneer.

"Kill or die, as you wish!" She looked coldly at the long, chilly sword in Pei Si Yan's hand, "Where did all this nonsense come from."

Pei Si Yan narrowed her eyes and praised, "Sister has a good backbone."

"I don't need your praise, it makes me feel sick."

"Disgusting is it? Then in order for you to get rid of this uncomfortable mood early," Pei Si Yan slowly raised her long sword, "Sister I kindly let you free yourself."

Tantai Si fearlessly raised her head and closed her eyes, waiting for death to come.

When Lan Zhao's army revolted and took down city after city, she had already expected that she would not have a good ending, but never thought that she would end up dying in the hands of someone she had always resented, and no amount of unwillingness could save her, so she would fearlessly meet the end of her life!

However, after waiting for a long time, she only felt a swift wind sweeping past her ears, a cold and tingling sensation spreading over her ears, she opened her eyes, only to see a strand of hair floating down to the ground.

"You?!" Tantai Si looked at Pei Si Yan in disbelief, could it be that she was planning to spare herself?

Pei Si Yan's eyes flashed with a shrewd light as she laughed, "Sister, do you think that I would spare you on the basis of being a sister with the same father and mother?" She paused, and after seeing Tantai Si's deepening gaze of doubt, she continued, "Then you are wrong. I won't let you die here so lonely and quietly, your life should be reserved for the execution ground!"

"Tantai Yan, you are despicable!"

"Same to each other." Pei Si Yan indifferently accepted Tantai Si's words, "It's just that your life should indeed be reserved for the execution ground, and you are a thousand times more despicable."

Tantai Si looked up to the sky and laughed, "Ha, you're satisfied now that you've won back what was originally yours, aren't you? Your face of a proud person makes me want to vomit!"

"One should be so happy after winning, do you have to cry?" Pei Si Yan shook her head, "It's just that I shouldn't be like you, using the victory you won as capital, capriciously sitting down on many wrongdoings, almost causing the Tantai family to fall into an irreparable predicament!"

"How those people live, live or die, what does it matter to me? I'll just get everything I want." Tantai Si gritted her teeth, "But you shattered all my dreams, I hate you!"

"It's a pity that you didn't get anything. Lanxuan is just using you as a pawn to play with." Pei Si Yan put away her sword, and was almost done talking nonsense with Tantai Si, "What you gained is nothing but an illusion, what you lost is far more than what you gained by many, many more, it's a pity that you haven't cared about it, right?"

Saying that, she turned around and walked towards the temple door.

"Chess, you think you know the Emperor? What a joke!"

"I'm afraid that even Lanxuan doesn't understand himself, let alone you and I."

"Where is the Emperor?"

"Lanxuan took poison and killed himself, he died by his own hand as he wished." Pei Si Yan dropped her last words and left.

The door of the hall opened and closed, the hall was plunged into a deathly silence, the cries for mercy from outside were like a distant vision, Tantai Si bent down, lying on the cold ground, tears could not be stopped from flowing out.

In order to the wish of the heart, at all costs, but in the end, only to suddenly realise that a life is like a dream.

The dream is a false image, what you hold in the dream, will no longer exist after waking up.

Could it be that what was seen and heard was nothing more than a false deception?

Tantai Si did not want to know the truth and preferred to deceive herself.

Spring came, and Lan Zhao ascended to the throne, which he originally did not dare to imagine, and became the master of this country. The blue country is thriving, after the rule of tyrants and the chaos of war, the land returns as beautiful as a newborn.

Lanxuan's body was buried in a mountain forest outside the royal tomb, except Pei Si Yan and Lan Zhaoge, as well as a few close friends, no one knows where this magnificent emperor is buried.

Just as he quietly stood out from the crowd of princes, to obtain the throne, and ultimately also quietly sleep under the yellow earth.

Afterwards, most of Lan Xuan's remnants were captured and brought to justice, and Tantai Si died with them on the execution ground.

Lan Zhao issued an imperial edict to inform the world of the grievances of Tantai Yan, and then the relegated officials of the Tantai family returned to the imperial capital to resume their duties, and no one knew why the new emperor, who had "risen from the dead," valued the Tantai family so much, just as the original Lan Zhao had done.

Some people guessed that the new emperor knew about the wrongdoings in the Wu Pan case.

Little by little, the Tantai family regained its former lustre, with the deaths of the first and second family members, and the new head of the family, Tantai Zhang, who was the head of the third family, took over as the new head of the Tantai family.

However, underneath the prosperity, there are still hidden crises, after the turmoil, there are still a lot of dormant sycophants in the dynasty, the various problems left behind by Lanxuan have not been completely solved, and the tribes in the south have also secretly gathered troops and horses, taking advantage of the fact that the country has not yet recovered to be ready to move.

Pei Siyan, who was honoured by Lan Zhao as the emperor's teacher, wanted to leave the plan was also temporarily shelved, and had to continue to stay to face the remaining troubles in the court, she did not want to make the effort to eventually turn into a tragedy again.

With a man's attire and real surname, returning to the splendid hall, Pei Si Yan felt many emotions, especially looking at the position where she once stood.

"Lord Pei." A clear man's voice sounded behind her.

Pei Si Yan turned her head to look, elegant and handsome face, eyes like containing spring breeze, a pair of moon white robes even set off a modest noble gentleman's temperament.

Chi Mo Lou.

"Lord Wuli." Previously read the collated list of officials, Pei Siyan learnt that while the new emperor was extremely, the original Lord Wuli at the same time gave up the position of auxiliary minister to the young and promising eldest son.

Chi Mo Lou modestly and moderately said, "I have long heard of Lord Pei's name, but I have not been able to go and visit, please forgive me Lord Pei."

"With the new emperor taking the throne, things are complicated, Lord Wuli must be very busy, right? There's no need to get hung up on that, I won't mind." Pei Si Yan lowered her head and coughed gently a few times.

"Many thanks to Lord Pei for his understanding." The new Wu Li slightly owed his body, nowadays, this Imperial Master's position was already above the four auxiliary ministers, and was the most relied upon and newly appointed person by the Emperor.

Pei Si Yan looked up and smiled casually.

Chi Mo Lou looked at Pei Si Yan's smile, his eyes shifted violently, why did this smile look so familiar, it seemed to have appeared in a beautiful dream.

"I wonder where Lord Pei's ancestry is?" Chi Mo Lou asked cautiously, afraid that a slight slip of the tongue would offend this Imperial Master, "We seem to have met before?"

"The sea of people is vast, coming and going is like tides," Pei Si Yan said blandly, "Maybe you and I have rubbed shoulders."

"Rubbing shoulders ...," Chi Mo Lou muttered, pondering.

Pei Si Yan reminded, "Lord Wuli, the morning court is about to begin."

"Oh." Wuli smiled hastily and replied to stand at his position, but the corner of his eye glanced to Pei Si Yan's position.

The morning court began, Lan Zhao clad in dragon robe came up to the temple, all the officials will be proposed to the emperor, and other officials together to discuss the feasibility of the matter, to be things discussed more or less, Lan Zhao habitually look at Pei Siyan, waiting for her under the final conclusion.

Pei Si Yan disliked this, reminding her of Feng Taishi.

She decided to pretend she didn't see it, her gaze falling elsewhere.

"Please ask the Emperor to give the decree." The official who had been uploaded said in a respectful voice.

Lan Zhao hesitated for a short while and stammered, "Fine, fine, just do as the Minister of Love says."

After the morning court, Lan Zhao immediately summoned Pei Siyan to the imperial study to deliberate, the eunuch didn't dare to be slow, and hurriedly pushed his wheelchair to follow the emperor.

Chi Mo Lou saw an object fall from the Imperial Master's body, but neither the Imperial Master nor the eunuchs perceived it and left in a hurry, he then quickly stepped forward, and after only glancing at the object, his pupils violently narrowed, and he lost his temper and took a few steps back.

As if it was an object that shouldn't exist in the human world!
