In the death row, Zhao Yao leaned against the wall in a daze, letting the rats crawl up and down her body until Zhao Ying stood outside the cell door.
The light was dim and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew it was her.
Did she come to proclaim to her the joy of the victor?
Zhao Yao couldn't help but want to laugh. It turned out that when people are at the end of despair, they will laugh.
The gaze that fell on her was cold and gloomy, and Zhao Yao felt balanced. Not only did she hate her, but she actually hated her too, right?
"Hahahaha... Zhao Ying, you're feeling pretty smug, right? You've tricked me again. Hahaha, you're watching me keep calling you a bastard, but I'm the one who's being smug. You're so happy, aren't you?!"
Zhao Yao burst into tears, feeling unwilling and angry. "Why? Why?"
"Why should I be executed and not you?!"
"Zhao Ying, I hate you so much!!"
In the darkness, Zhao Ying spoke, her voice seeming to have aged decades. "Why do you hate me? How have I wronged you?"
"You all hate me, but how have I ever wronged you?"
"Zhao Yao, I treat you as my own sister. I treat you well. What qualifications do you have to hate me?"
"Why can't I hate you? We are both princesses, but you are more noble and favored than me? I always stand in your shadow, and in the end even the man I love the most is devoted to you..." Zhao Yao cried in grievance.
"For you, he actually disregarded our relationship of all those years and tried to kill me time and time again. How am I inferior to you? I'm willing to give my heart to him..."
Zhao Ying's pupils trembled. Yes, if Shangguan Shu loved her so much, why would he do something to hurt her? What did Shangguan Zhu want her to hear by asking her to come over?
Zhao Ying vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She trembled and said, "You loved him, but you killed him."
The death row suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Ying knew Zhao Yao was listening to her. She was filled with grief, heartbroken and unable to cry. She calmly stated the truth, "Do you think Zhao Xi wants to use you to expose my background? No, his ultimate goal is to force Shangguan Shu to break into the palace to rescue me, and then convict him."
"Shangguan Shu really came and was killed by three thousand imperial guards at Shenwu Gate."
"Zhao Yao, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have died."
"Impossible, you lied to me!" Zhao Yao's breathing became faster.
Zhao Ying's nose felt sore again. She asked, "A death row inmate like you, are you worth me deceiving?"
"Now his body is lying in the Duke's Mansion, haha..."
Zhao Yao was silent for a moment and completely collapsed.
She screamed loudly, heartbroken, and perhaps also a little regretful.
Zhao Ying watched silently, as if she had become a bystander, and even sighed in her heart that Zhao Yao really had deep feelings for Shangguan Shu.
But no matter how deep the love is, the person can't come back.
A sudden malice arose in her heart. She deliberately provoked Zhao Yao, wanting to see her go crazy. She couldn't bear this pain alone.
"It's all your fault. You turned Shangguan Shu, a famous minister and general, into a traitor. You know, the emperor refused to allow a funeral for him. He just had him wrapped in a straw mat and buried casually. He died in such a pathetic way, bringing shame to the Duke's Mansion. I'm afraid he won't even be allowed to enter the Shangguan family's ancestral tomb."
“How pitiful…”
Zhao Yao was becoming increasingly overwhelmed. She roared, "How dare you still have the leisure to make sarcastic remarks? He's been so sincere to you. How can you be worthy of him?"
Zhao Ying said coldly, "What does it have to do with me? You were the one who harmed him. It had nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end. He and you deceived me and hid the truth from me. His death has nothing to do with me!"
Suddenly, the rustling of straw could be heard from the darkness, getting closer and closer to Zhao Ying. After a while, Zhao Yao was seen clutching the cell door, crying and begging, "Sister Ying, it's my fault. It has nothing to do with him. Please don't be so cruel to him. Woohoo... He loves you the most. I beg you, don't let him wrap himself in a straw mat... I beg you!"
Zhao Yao burst into tears, as if the sky had fallen.
For her, Shangguan Shu was her lifelong obsession. His life was ruined by her, and it was really unbearable for him to end up like this.
Zhao Ying said sarcastically, "You really do love him."
"It's a pity that you love him, but I don't. I wish he would die as miserably as possible. You two, the adulterous couple, should go to hell together..."
"No..." Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something, "Don't blame him, it's me!"
"I stole his love for you!"
"He has liked you since he was very young. It was me who transferred his affection for you to me time and time again, four times, four times in total!" Zhao Yao cried bitterly.
"Don't blame him. He loved you his whole life. Now that he's dead, can't you leave him some dignity?"
"If you want to hate someone, just hate me... Don't let him rest in peace even after death..."
She really regretted it... She just wanted to get him, never wanted to kill him...
Zhao Yao beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Zhao Ying's eyes went dark, his whole body lost strength, he couldn't help but stagger backwards, and finally fell to the ground.
The pain in my body is not even half as great as the pain in my heart.
She seemed to be in a trance and stammered, "Tell me everything you know. If you tell me, I will buy him a good coffin."
So, Zhao Yao remembered everything from the day of her seventh birthday, when she first met Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Shu hugged the old Duke's legs and cried sadly... to the last time she used the system assistance.
One by one, one by one...
After hearing this, Zhao Ying felt like she was dead.
Life is worse than death.
She was helped away by the jailer, and after she left, Zhao Yao hit her head against the wall and died.
All the resentment she had felt in the past now turned into nothingness. She hid in the darkness, her face covered in blood.
