When the palace servant heard this, his body trembled violently and an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

But he did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately retreated as if the tray in his hand was not an unborn dead fetus, but a terrible evil object.

"Na-Lan-Yun-Zhi!" Yu Lianhuan's voice was filled with endless grief and despair. Her eyes turned red, as if they were about to bleed. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and she shouted Nalan Yunzhi's name with all her strength.

This was her only child, the child of Yu Lianhuan, a precious treasure in her heart, and now, he was gone. Her heart felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles, a mixture of pain and rage that made it nearly impossible to breathe. Her roar echoed through the courtyard of Qiong Yu Palace, threatening to shake the very palace down.

"Your Majesty, this is just an innocent fetus, how can you be so cruel..." Ouyang Yuming lay on the ground, struggling with all his strength to sit up. His face was as pale as paper, and blood was dripping from his body. However, he was too heartbroken to care about his injuries.

"Ouyang Yuming, you bitch!" Nalan Yunzhi was furious and kicked Ouyang Yuming to the ground again. Her eyes were filled with anger and contempt as she stared at the man on the ground.

"Ask yourself: since the year I ascended the throne, I have gradually promoted you from a fifth-rank attendant to a fourth-rank consort, a fourth-rank beauty, a third-rank young master, a third-rank concubine, a second-rank lord, and finally granted you the esteemed status of Imperial Noble. All this in just one year. What on earth could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

Ouyang Yuming collapsed to the ground, his eyes hollow and his heart aching. Tears mixed with blood from the corners of his mouth and dripped onto the cold ground. His heart was filled with despair and pain. The love and favor he once had given him now turned to a deep sting.

Nalan Yunzhi's voice echoed in his ears, every word piercing his heart like a sharp sword. He recalled every moment he had shared with Nalan Yunzhi, those warm times, now like shattered dreams. He couldn't understand why love could become so fragile, so vulnerable to power and desire...

"Haha, but you still love Feng Lingyan the most, right?" Ouyang Yuming lay on the ground weakly, his originally neatly combed hair was now disheveled, and the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth added a bit of sadness.

He tilted his head, his eyes filled with endless mockery as he looked at Nalan Yunzhi, as if to pass on all his resentment and unwillingness. "Your Majesty, when you were still the Crown Princess, weren't you the first to break the promise you made to me, saying you would make me the legitimate ruler? Yet, in the blink of an eye, you fell in love with Feng Lingyan, the eldest son of the Feng family, and cast me aside like a worn-out shoe."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yunzhi was enraged. She walked straight forward, leaned over with a fierce momentum, and slapped Ouyang Yuming violently, "Do you think you are worthy of being compared with my Lingyan?"

The resounding sound of the slap echoed throughout the palace, and a bright red slap mark instantly appeared on Ouyang Yuming's face, contrasting with the blood at the corner of his mouth, making it particularly glaring.

"Hahaha..." Ouyang Yuming's laughter was tinged with tears, a desperate and sinister laugh. His heart was filled with pain and resentment, as if he wanted to release all his emotions through this laughter.

"Nalan Yunzhi, are you only allowed to have 3,000 concubines in your harem? Let me tell you, it's not just Yu Lianhuan. I've also had affairs with Han Shuying, your great general Feng Cailan, your inner court guard commander Murong Jinghe, and all the civil and military officials in your court!"

Ouyang Yuming's voice echoed in the palace, carrying a sense of determination and revenge. His eyes were crazy and desperate, as if he no longer cared about his own life or death.

Nalan Yunzhi's face paled. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her eyes widened as she stared at the man she had once given her heart to. Pain and anger surged in her heart like a tide. Her body trembled slightly, and she was speechless. As Ouyang Yuming finished speaking, Nalan Yunzhi's sharp gaze swept over to Murong Jinghe, the commander of the inner court guards.

Murong Jinghe felt as if she were being stabbed in the back by Nalan Yunzhi's sharp, fiery gaze. She felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and her scalp tingled. She was terrified and immediately knelt before Nalan Yunzhi, her voice filled with grievance and injustice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! This lunatic is making unwarranted accusations! Please, Your Majesty, investigate!"

Nalan Yunzhi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. She knew the character of the Feng family and had always trusted them. This must be just Ouyang Yuming's trick, trying to sow discord. With this thought, she slowly withdrew her knife and gaze towards Murong Jinghe.

"Come here, take Yu Lianhuan to the Meridian Gate and execute him by slow slicing at 3:30 PM today. Also, summon the imperial physicians and have them do everything they can to keep Ouyang Yuming alive. I want him to watch with his own eyes as Yu Lianhuan is sliced ​​into pieces, one by one, and endure the pain of betraying me..."

Nalan Yunzhi's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion. She glanced at Ouyang Yuming coldly, as if she were looking at a worthless ant.

"Since you have the courage to betray me, then you must have the courage to bear the consequences of betraying me!" After saying that, she turned around resolutely, waved her sleeves and left, leaving Ouyang Yuming with a desperate look on his face.

After Nalan Yunzhi turned and left, Yu Lianhuan's heart was broken, her eyes filled with despair. She offered no resistance as the inner court guards roughly escorted her to the Meridian Gate.
