"According to the emperor's edict, the empress' wife has suffered a loss. She colluded with the rebels in the valley and conspired to rebel. This is a serious crime of plotting against the country and usurping the government. On account of her many years of contribution to the imperial court, she kept her life. She was sent to the Cold Palace. That's all..."
The woman, who was only wearing underwear, sat on the stool calmly and listened to the old eunuch finish reading the imperial edict. Her face was pale, and her beautiful facial features were covered with a layer of pale illness.
She had already been pregnant for five months, and it was obvious that she was holding up her clothes.
The woman clenched her fists. "Where are they?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask about your old subordinates? All the people in the Stream Valley, as well as you in the court... have been arrested by His Majesty. It's almost noon. They should be killed soon, right?"
The old supervisor replied in a low and soft voice.
Hearing this, the woman's pale face became paler. Ignoring the baby in her belly, she stood up and rushed out.
"Hurry up! Stop Her Highness! Stop Her Highness!" The old eunuch stamped his feet in a hurry and hurriedly ordered the palace maids and guards around him.
Chu Huaifeng ran in the direction of the imperial study, his clothes in disarray. Her only way now was to beg that man. Only he could save them!
"Let me in!" Chu Huaifeng shouted in a deep voice.
The guards outside the study couldn't help but be shocked. Even if this woman had fallen to the current state, she was still the highly spirited Queen Chu, who once guided the country with the emperor. She was the most brilliant counselor in the world.
"Your Majesty, please go back. His Majesty will not see you." The guards drew out their swords and refused coldly.
Chu Huaifeng clenched his fists, and the tears in his eyes could not stop falling. He roared hysterically at the study.
"Qin Zhenzhen! Why did you do that?"
She thought that this man would at least think of the past and at least take into account their loyalty to him. But she was wrong. She was wrong, wrong beyond reason, wrong beyond reason!
At this moment, a bright yellow figure slowly walked out of the study. Suddenly, a strong pressure made the surrounding air tense, and everyone immediately knelt down respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
He stopped in front of Chu Huaifeng. His body was straight, and his facial features were sharp and cold, as if they had been carved by a knife.
Chu Huaifeng's eyes were fixed on the man who had once shared a bed with her. His eyes, which had always been gentle to her, were now full of ambition.
Ten years ago, because of this pair of eyes full of ambition, she helped him turn from an abandoned son to the king of Fengxiang. But in the end, it was also because of this pair of eyes that her body, heart, and soul were destroyed.
"Plop!" Chu Huaifeng knelt heavily on the ground, as if he had used up all his strength. He said word by word,
"Qin Zhenzhen, I've never begged anyone in my life. I beg you to let them go. You know they can't rebel. Please... let them go!" Chu Huaifeng almost choked with sobs.
There seemed to be some fluctuations in Qin Zhenzhen's cold eyes. He reached out and pinched Chu Huaifeng's chin. He looked down at her and whispered like a lover,
"The talented Chu Huaifeng actually knelt down to me one day. Huaifeng, if this gets out, people will laugh their teeth off. Since we met, this is the first time that Huaifeng has begged me..."
And Qin Zhenzhen's next sentence directly threw her into the abyss where there was no hope for her.
"But Huaifeng, it's past noon. They're dead."
Qin Zhenzhen's low and charming voice entered Chu Huaifeng's ears one by one. It was so cold that there was no warmth at all.
Chu Huaifeng only felt that all the blood in his body was flowing backward, and the unbearable strength disappeared in an instant.
"After so many years, don't you have any feelings for her?" Chu Huaifeng closed his eyes with regret and despair.
In an instant, Qin Zhenzhen threw Chu Huaifeng to the ground with a complicated hatred in her eyes.
"As early as the moment when you wanted to seize power, our friendship was over." Immediately after, Qin Zhenzhen shouted coldly, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the Empress back to the Cold Palace!"
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, Qin Zhenzhen turned around and walked into the imperial study as if she felt dirty at first sight of her.
"You want to stop me?"
Chu Huaifeng's eyes became fierce and he started to fight with the guards. But at this time, she found that all her internal strength was gone. The guards had knocked her down to the ground with just one palm.
How could this be? She looked at her weak hands. Why, why did all her internal strength disappear? At the same time, there was a sharp pain in her abdomen, and a heat flow spread between her legs.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Consort Yun."
With the respectful voices of the palace maids, a long dress fell on the ground beside her. Her exquisite body leaned slightly against her ear, and her red lips opened slightly.
"Sister, look, you're bleeding... You don't know, do you? Three days ago, the wine that His Majesty invited you to drink... In fact, it was added to the wine of Cultivation Powder, and the side effect is..."
Yun Ruo did not finish his words. Instead, he looked at the lower half of her body, which had been dyed red with blood, and a vicious smile appeared on his lips.
She suddenly felt a chill in her heart. It turned out that three days ago, he came to drink with her because he wanted to kill his child and destroy her kung fu.
"Since His Majesty is afraid of you, he will naturally be afraid of your child. Don't you understand?" Yunruo's red lips whispered in her ear.
She grabbed the woman's arm tightly with one hand, and asked in a cold voice while enduring the pain in her body, "Why... I don't think I've done anything wrong to you. Why did you betray me?"
She knew that all of this was because the woman in front of her betrayed the Natural Stream Valley and forged the evidence that she and the Natural Stream Valley wanted to fight for the country. That was why she became like this today.
A sinister smile appeared on Yun Ruo's delicate brows.
"Why? I just don't like your arrogant and self-righteous look. You are the best counselor in the world, but now you are just an abandoned woman. Oh, by the way, do you really think that His Majesty is not afraid of your power in the imperial court? Do you really think that I, an imperial concubine, can do all this? Don't forget, you are the Pope..."
She suddenly smiled, and there was sadness and desolation in her eyes. "Ah... accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger... But now, I completely understand the meaning of this sentence..."
But when she understood, it was too late. The pain in her body made her spasm and faint. She knew that her child was gone...
On that day, the queen of Fengxiang country, Mrs. Chu, was disabled because of a rebellion and was sent to the Cold Palace. All her trusted subordinates in the court were executed.
At the same night, there was a big fire in the cold palace. Empress Chu and the other dozens of palaces disappeared with the fire in the history of Fengxiang Country.
