Qi An only let go of Xu Shize's hand after seeing Xu Shize roll his eyes.
Such a comfortable way to die is too cheap for this bastard.
As air entered his lungs, Xu Shi coughed violently for a long time, causing all the wounds on his body to reopen.
Blood seeped out, staining his white clothes blood-red, making him look extremely pitiful.
Qi An pinched his chin and lifted it up, smiling as he said, "You're wrong."
"What... is wrong?"
"You're wrong to say that the Princess should spare your life."
Qi An parted her red lips slightly, and those few words, spoken lightly, dropped a bombshell into Xu Shize's heart.
"You should shout, 'Your Majesty, spare my life!'"
It took Xu Shi a long time to process what she said and realize its meaning. He almost went crazy.
"Ah Yu, you...you...you've become the Emperor of Dayu?"
Qi An smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are now the Empress of my Great Yu, aren't you very happy?"
Xu Shi's mind went completely blank.
He didn't understand why there was such a big difference when everything was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Why does Nie Yuhuang seem like a completely different person?
When did it start?
Xu Shi tried hard to recall everything that had happened in the past few days, and the details that he had deliberately ignored came to light.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
That's right, everything changed the day he saw Nie Yuhuang outside the palace gates.
Ah Yu loves him so much that she would protect him from danger and would never use him as a shield.
It's impossible that he's acting so cold and cruel now; he almost strangled him just now.
Most importantly, Nie Yuhuang could not possibly be plotting a rebellion.
In her previous life, during the seven years she served as regent, he tested her countless times, both openly and secretly, but Nie Yuhuang never intended to steal anything from him.
But now, the old emperor is still alive, Nie Ming is still alive, and she has become the empress of Dayu.
Xu Shi became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. Cold sweat seeped from his pores, soaking his thin clothes, and he shivered uncontrollably.
Xu Shi looked at that face, so familiar it was etched into his very bones, and at the eerie, sinister smile on that face, with a chilling dread.
For a moment, he felt as if he were facing a vengeful ghost that had crawled out of hell.
who is she?
Or rather, which incarnation of Nie Yuhuang is she?
Seeing the woman reach out her hand, Xu Shize was so frightened that he shrank back to the corner of the bed, saying, "Don't come any closer."
Qi An laughed and said, "What's wrong with you? It's me, A Yu. Don't you recognize me?"
Xu Shi trembled, his mind going blank, and the words that came out of his mouth were: "You're not A Yu, who are you?"
The woman raised her hand and touched her face, then gave a strange smile: "Oh dear, I've been discovered."
When his suspicions were confirmed, Xu Shi almost fainted from fright.
"You...are you a human or a ghost? Where is Nie Yuhuang?"
Qi An slowly approached him, and said in a sinister tone:
"I am Nie Yuhuang, the one who was deceived and betrayed by you, whose country was destroyed and whose family was destroyed, and who was pierced by a thousand arrows."
"Xu Shize, no, I should call you Huangfu Shize, how does it feel to have an arrow pierce your heart?"
Xu Shi was so frightened that he kept backing away.
I see!
Nie Yuhuang also remembered everything from her past life, and even earlier than him.
That's why she acted so strangely, and that's why he's in such a miserable state now.
She is taking revenge.
Seeking revenge on everyone who had wronged her in her past life, including her father, Nie Ming was probably in no better shape now.
Xu Shize is the one who harmed her the most and hurt her the most. How will she take revenge on him?
Thinking of this, Xu Shi immediately struggled to kneel on the bed, enduring the excruciating pain of his wounds reopening, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.
"Ayu, I'm so sorry, I've let you down. It's all my fault. I'll kowtow to you to apologize."
Qi An sneered: "Our country is destroyed, our homes are ruined, and we are pierced by ten thousand arrows. And what about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Dayu? How do you plan to repay that?"
Xu Shize wept bitterly: "But Ayu, I'm dead too. You killed me with your own hands. I lied to you, but I never intended to take your life."
"I want you to be my queen, and to share the empire with you. I love you. For you, I even put aside the hatred of killing my father."
Qi An and Fu Gui were both amused by his words.
It's like you were a billionaire with a lot of family. A robber not only stole all your money but also killed your family.
Once you've lost everything and your family is ruined, he'll come back and say he loves you and is willing to share his vast fortune with you.
Fu Gui was utterly speechless: "What the hell is this? This bizarre thought process is even more terrifying than that idiot Nie Ming."
Qi Anxiao's floral crown and hair ornaments were swaying.
"You're so kind to me. Shouldn't I thank you for not holding a grudge and not only sparing my life but also being willing to share my country with me?"
"How about this, after I conquer Wumeng and slaughter the royal family, you can also benefit from the victory, how about that?"
Xu Shi shook his head vigorously: "Don't say that, A Yu, that's all from the past life, it's all in the past. I'm sorry to you, and you killed me, so we're even."
"I did nothing in this life, Da Yu is still alive and well, and you are now the Empress. Those things will never happen again. Let's forget everything and start over, okay?"
Qi An's eyes were icy as he said, word by word, "I can't get over it, I can't settle things, and I can't forget it."
"A blood feud can only be avenged with blood. You owe Nie Yuhuang, and you shall pay with your life."
Qi An made a grabbing motion from a distance, and Xu Shize's body floated in front of her.
He wept and begged for mercy without any dignity.
"Ah Yu, don't kill me, I know I was wrong. I'm a cripple now, please spare my life. As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything you want, I'll be your slave to atone for my sins, okay?"
Remembering something, he looked anxiously at Qi An's abdomen, as if grasping at a lifeline.
"Oh, right, child, we have a child. Please, for the sake of the child, spare me. The child cannot be without a father."
Qi An pulled away his lifeline.
"Where did this child come from? How could I keep your bastard child? You don't even deserve to."
Xu Shi was filled with despair and horror; she had even abandoned their child…
"Please, Ah Yu, don't kill me. I'm truly in love with you. Give me another chance, and I won't let you down again."
Seeing the dagger appear in Qi An's hand, Xu Shi trembled violently and roared in despair:
"Your Majesty, spare me..."
Qi An drew his dagger and smiled at him: "Whether it's true or not, we'll only know after we see."
"You said before that you would dig out your heart and show it to me. I won't trouble you to do it; I'll do it myself."
As Xu Shize watched in horror, Qi An plunged a knife into his chest.
Then, amidst his piercing screams, they completely ripped out his heart.
"Your heart doesn't seem very genuine."
