"Zhu Min'er, if I hadn't discovered this, would you have turned against me next?"
"Yes," she replied without hesitation.
Now that the truth has been revealed, she has nothing left to hide.
"Your Xiao family harmed my entire clan, so I will make you wish you were dead!"
"You'll have to watch helplessly as the empire you've worked so hard to build is handed over to others, hahaha." Consort Zhao laughed through her tears, "I never expected... I never expected... my plan would be discovered in the end."
"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Do with me as you please!"
Consort Zhao raised her head, looking at the Holy Emperor with a look of resignation.
Eunuch Wang was already trembling with fear.
The palace maids beside them didn't dare to breathe.
The April sunlight shone directly overhead, elongating their figures.
Thinking back on how the two of them met, got to know each other, and fell in love, it would be a lie to say I wasn't sad.
The Holy Emperor felt both grief and despair.
"Guards, depose Crown Prince Xiao Yulin and imprison him along with Consort Zhao in the imperial prison. Execute them both and display their heads to the public. As for the guard...drow him in the pond!"

"Back then, I knew very well what your father did. Although I was young, I accompanied my father day and night. It was your father who embezzled money and had a corrupt household. He secretly imprisoned countless boys to concoct the elixir of immortality."
"Father did the right thing!"
The Holy Emperor didn't look at her again and left in a huff.
Consort Zhao cried and screamed, lying on the ground in deep sorrow.
Sighing, Eunuch Wang tugged at the chicken coop, "If anyone dares to tell anyone about what happened today, they'll be beheaded!"
"Yes," the palace maids and eunuchs responded in unison.
