"..."

Rui Hui was slightly startled, looking at him with some surprise.

She blinked her eyes, clearly understanding his words, yet it seemed like she couldn’t comprehend them.

His mother was the former queen of Sweden, the mother of the nation...

"She was poisoned, and the bowl of porridge she drank was initially sent to me because I was my father’s most beloved youngest son at the time."

Diwu Zexuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "That kind of poison is the most common toxic herb in Sweden, also the most lethal kind of herb, acting quickly. I watched her die with my own eyes, yet I was powerless."

Diwu Zexuan’s gaze darkened, his hands tightened into fists.

The veins on the back of his hands stood out.

At that time, he was still too young and not strong enough.

He didn’t even have the ability to find out who the murderer was.

If it were now, his mother wouldn’t have died.

But it’s a pity, by the time his medical skills became brilliant, the person he most wanted to save had already disappeared from his life and would never return.

Because of the queen’s death, the factional struggles at that time caused the situation in Sweden to become tumultuous.

At that time, all Diwu Zexuan’s thoughts were on finding the murderer, but he never thought that after he discovered some clues, the person who ordered him to stop investigating was the father he respected the most.

He would never forget that scene, Karl XVII telling him in that lofty tone that no matter how important his mother was, she wasn’t more important than the stability of a country.

The death of a woman, to him, was like losing a piece of clothing.

From then on, Diwu Zexuan understood that in the royal family, familial affection and brotherhood were things that could be harmed and trampled upon.

"And the murderer? Did you find them later?"

Rui Hui hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly coming back to her senses and eerily asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, Diwu Zexuan turned his head and gave her a strange look.

That look made Rui Hui shiver.

"Dead, I’ve sliced them piece by piece and soaked them in formalin solution to make a specimen." Diwu Zexuan gritted his teeth, uttering each word with emphasis.

Since then, he left Sweden.

He never planned to return for the rest of his life.

"..."

Rui Hui trembled violently, her fingers somewhat shaking. Looking at Diwu Zexuan like this, she felt inexplicably upset.

She reached out to hug him, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by him.

"Now that you know everything, is it better than not knowing?" Diwu Zexuan squinted his eyes, looking at her with a cold gaze.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to open your wound, I just wanted to know about your family, just like how you know about mine, I didn’t know it would be like this..."

Rui Hui’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, unsure of why she felt guilty.

But facing Diwu Zexuan’s hurtful gaze, she also inexplicably felt unhappy.

All she could do was repeatedly say sorry.

Diwu Zexuan looked at her for a long time, and when Rui Hui thought he would open his mouth to scold her, Diwu Zexuan suddenly took her hand and turned to walk towards the door.

"Diwu Zexuan, where are you taking me?"

"Did you bring your documents?" Diwu Zexuan turned to look at her, expressionless, revealing no joy or anger.

"..."

Rui Hui’s heart skipped a beat.

It’s over, she just said she wanted to leave, and now she was getting kicked out. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Thinking sadly, Rui Hui couldn’t swallow her pride this time and just nodded her little head reluctantly.

The next second, Diwu Zexuan pulled her out of the villa.

"I can go alone, you don’t need to see me off." As they walked out of the villa, Rui Hui kept her little head lowered.
