"Imperial Uncle..." A child spoke, his voice childish yet filled with utmost hatred. "Why did you kill us?"
"What did we do wrong?"
"Imperial Uncle, I haven't even properly experienced this world yet. I don't want to die..."
The children's voices rose and fell. Their extreme hatred and desperate yearning to survive made Li Shimin's face turn deathly pale!
At that moment.
More people emerged from the mist.
Li Jiancheng's subordinates, Li Yuanji's subordinates, the generals and retainers killed in the Xuanwu Gate Incident!
Some had lost an arm, some a leg, and some had been slashed across the face, exposing the bone beneath!!
"Your Majesty, this servant followed the Retired Emperor for many years. Why did you kill this servant?"
"This servant's family was innocent. Why did you kill them too?"
"Your Majesty, this servant rendered meritorious service to Great Tang and shed blood for you. Is this how you treat this servant?"
"Do you remember me, Your Majesty? Perhaps you don't remember an insignificant nobody like me, hahaha! But why did you kill us?! Why did you exterminate my Three Clans? I studied hard for years before finally becoming a high official. My whole family was counting on me to bring honor to our name, yet I ended up like this? Did I not contribute to the founding of Great Tang?!!!"
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this, Li Shimin! Why do you get to live while we die?!!!!!"
More and more Lost Souls emerged from the mist in every direction.
Their faces were full of hatred and savagery, as though they wished to tear Li Shimin into pieces!!!
Li Shimin stood amid the mist, listening to those voices as his hand slowly loosened around his sword hilt.
Pain and anguish appeared on his face!
