Chapter 927

Queen Yulan turned around, looking at her youngest daughter, but the first words she spoke were…

“Why? You should know, by saying those words in public, you have cut off Skate’s path to survival! You want to kill her…”

The last sentence was not a question, but a statement…

These words, coming from Yulan’s mouth, inevitably carried a tone of reproach…

“…” Upon hearing her mother’s words, Yushu paused in silence, then lifted her head, her gaze firmly meeting her mother’s, and said in a deep voice, “Yes, I want to kill her, what’s wrong with that?”

Yushu understood very well that if she didn’t publicly reveal Skate’s actions, then perhaps Skate still had a sliver of hope…

Because the judgment of Skate was conducted by their mother…

As long as their mother wanted to spare Skate, she might still have the possibility of living…

But once she publicly revealed Skate’s actions, all of this was already destined, even if her mother wanted to protect Skate, it was no longer possible…

Everyone in the Royal City already knew about Skate’s actions, the fear of public opinion, rumors spreading like wildfire…

How could her mother still reverse right and wrong to save Skate?

Impossible!

It was already impossible!

She herself had pushed Skate to a path of no retreat, and waiting for Skate now was only the fairest and most just judgment, even her mother could no longer have the possibility of favoritism…

“You…” Hearing Yushu’s response, Yulan was slightly taken aback…

In Yulan’s understanding, her youngest daughter Yushu had always been gentle and easy to talk to…

Yulan never thought that one day her youngest daughter would also become a rose with thorns…

But now, she saw it!

She saw her youngest daughter revealing her fangs…

Although this time, her fangs were aimed at her own elder sister…

“What? Does Mother think I was wrong? Then, can Mother tell me, did Skate ever do anything wrong? Mother only thinks that I exposed her crimes to the world, that I pushed her completely to a dead end, but did Mother ever think, during those times when I was being hunted and framed, narrowly escaping death, did Skate ever give me a chance to survive?” Yushu looked at her mother, speaking slowly and emphatically, “Mother always taught us, ‘victory makes a king, defeat an outlaw,’ didn’t you? Now that I’ve won and she’s lost, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, how can you expect me to let her go? To keep a tiger that will bring disaster?”

Yushu’s words could be said to be very ambitious…

She directly revealed her ambition to succeed as the king…

In fact, things had reached this point, and even if Yushu wanted to hide something, she couldn’t…

The struggle for the throne…

The Mermaid People had only two princesses, and now one had fallen, so the remaining one would naturally become the future king of the Mermaid People…

“…” Hearing Yushu’s words, Yulan was stunned again, then burst into laughter, “Hahahaha…”

The laughter echoed throughout the entire bedchamber…

Leaving those outside the bedchamber somewhat puzzled…

The current Royal City could be described as being on high alert…

The Eldest Princess was captured, and the Eldest Princess along with her followers awaited judgment…

The Mermaid People had never faced such a situation, it could be said to be very serious…

And at this very moment, their queen still had the mood to laugh?

This…

Made it difficult for people not to scratch their heads in confusion, didn’t it?

“…” Watching her mother continuously laugh with her eyes wide open, Yushu stood in the bedchamber, bowing her head…

She didn’t know what her mother was laughing at…

She only knew that she did nothing wrong!

This was a battle where either you die or I live, between her and Skate, one was destined to die!

If Skate had never done such a thing to Yushu, if the two were still the affectionate sisters they once were, then Yushu would have unhesitatingly chosen to die in place of Skate, but now…

The two of them already stood on opposing sides as enemies. How could Yushu possibly treat Skate as she did before?

Not to mention dying for Skate, she couldn’t even bring herself to let Skate go…

“Hahaha… good! Very good! It seems the people behind you have truly taught you well! Our Mermaid People, our Fish Clan, have finally welcomed a qualified Emperor!” Yulan stopped laughing, looked at Yushu, and spoke in a deep voice, “Yushu, do you know? I once thought, with my life of military exploits, decisive in killing, mastering the Emperor’s Mind Technique, never failing, but giving birth to you and your sister, watching you both grow into two entirely different personalities, I discovered my failure… I thought I would always fail, but I didn’t expect that I could finally answer to the ancestors; my daughter has grown up…”

Saying this, Yulan reached out, slowly toward the top of Yushu’s head…

But…

Yushu instinctively dodged, avoiding it…

“…” Yulan’s hand remained frozen in mid-air…

“Yushu…” Yulan looked at Yushu, her expression indescribable…

Dodging…

She actually saw the estrangement and avoidance from her own daughter…

This…

This was a feeling Yulan had never experienced before…

“Mother…” Dodging her mother’s hand was just an instinctive action by Yushu. After making this move, even Yushu felt a moment of sadness. However, Yushu finally mustered up the courage to look at Yulan and spoke again, “Mother, you actually could have stopped all this from happening, couldn’t you? You aren’t as powerless and useless as you seem. You have absolute leadership and control over the Royal City. Long before that so-called Goddess appeared by my sister’s side and bewitched her into doing those things to me, you could have prevented it, couldn’t you?”

“…” Yulan listened, silent.

Indeed!

Gu Tianyao is a dangerous person…

From the moment she appeared by Skate’s side, Yulan had received the news…

But Yulan chose…

Silence!

Silently watching to see how Skate would choose!

When Skate indeed did it, when Yushu was truly driven to the brink, only then did Yulan realize that her moment of silence had nearly led her younger daughter to a point of no return. So she sent people to rescue her younger daughter, but it was ultimately a step too late…

Her younger daughter had already been taken away and returned to East County!

Upon receiving this news, Yulan was actually relieved…

They are both her daughters, even if they are not qualified heirs to the throne, Yulan did not want to lose either daughter at once…

“But Mother, why? Why did you watch all this happen? For your so-called Emperor’s Mind Technique? For your so-called qualified heir? You keep saying that I forced my sister to the brink, but in fact, it was you! It has always been you! Always silently allowing everything to happen, watching it happen, forcing my sister and me onto a path with no retreat!” Yushu looked at her mother, shaking her head, her face hurt as she said, “Gu Tianyao’s appearance was just a trigger, your inaction was the real culprit that led to everything becoming what it is today! Mother, to you, my sister and I are not really that important, are we? Together, we are not as important as a qualified heir to the Mermaid People, right?”

“No! You two are very important! Because the heir to the Mermaid People must be one of you two!” Upon hearing this, Yulan immediately raised her head, speaking firmly, “Our Fish Clan is the Royal Family of the Mermaid People; no one can replace that! One of you must become a qualified heir to the Mermaid People, this is the Queen of the Mermaid People, this is what I must do!”

“Yes! This is what you must do! So you gave up your daughters for what you must do! You forced me to grow up, forced my sister onto a path of no return. Are you satisfied now? My sister’s crimes have been announced to the world, and soon she will die, while I will become the second you, will become the qualified heir to the Mermaid People, will become the future Queen of the Mermaid People!” Hearing this, Yushu laughed coldly, shook her head, and stepped back while looking at Yulan, saying, “From now on, the Mermaid People will no longer have the simple and kind Second Princess Yushu, only Yushu, the sole heir to the throne! From now on, I will learn some of your ways, applying Emperor’s Mind Technique to the fullest, I will have in mind the people of the Mermaid People, I will become solitary, without family, without lover, without children, for my family, lover, and children will all be my bargaining chips to secure the emperor’s throne! My child will also embark on the same path as me, learning passively to grow, learning passively to recognize the cruelty of this world. Mother, are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied?”

As Yushu spoke, she turned and walked out of the palace…

“Yushu!” Seeing this, Yulan raised her hand, wanting to call Yushu back…

But…

She ultimately failed to call her back…

All she could do was watch Yushu leave, filled with sadness and indignation…

For some reason, as she watched Yushu’s departing back, Yulan knew that her once gentle and lovely younger daughter might never return…

A feeling of loss and despair enveloped Yulan for a moment, making her whole being seem somewhat old and worn…

“You don’t seem to be in a good state? Where’s Yushu?”

When Gu Changsheng, Baobao, Beibei, and Xuanyuan Mu appeared in the palace, Yulan was standing on the balcony, drinking alone…

“I lost both of my daughters on the same day, do you think I could be in a good state? My esteemed guests…” Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yulan turned, looked at Gu Changsheng, and spoke in a deep voice…

Yulan had never seen Gu Changsheng, but she had heard Hai Mo mention Gu Changsheng’s appearance…
