The gloomy night descended heavily, engulfing everything in the world. The lights and darkness merged into one, flickering like the unpredictable and fickle human heart.
At this moment, the imperial palace prison was completely dark and silent. Not a sound could be heard, not even the sound of jerks scurrying across the ground. Yu Qianqian lay on the ground, staring blankly at the top of the cell. She was now wearing prison clothes, her limbs tightly bound by shackles, and she looked completely different.
In this lonely night, the desolate wind was everywhere, as if a cold blade had pierced her to the bone, causing her to tremble with pain. Ever since her identity as Yu Changxiao's daughter was exposed, she realized that she was truly despicable. In front of others, she was a heinous criminal, and now, imprisoned, she would never have a chance to live again.
Hearing hurried footsteps approaching, the prison door creaked open. Yu Qianqian slowly turned her gaze and saw Feng Yao walking in front, with two prison guards following closely on either side, leading the way with lanterns. When they were close to her, they stopped in unison. The flickering candlelight reflected on their faces, making them look like ghosts, sinister and terrifying. An eerie aura emanated from them, sending chills down her spine.
Feng Yao looked down at Yu Qianqian from her high position, her eyes narrowed, and she laughed coldly: "My dear sister, how did you end up in such a sorry state? I remember... you used to be quite powerful, didn't you?"
Yu Qianqian slightly raised her eyes and vaguely saw Feng Yao in a purple imperial concubine's dress. She glanced at her lightly, her face almost devoid of any emotion, while Feng Yao stared intently at her, her eyes blazing with anger, and her tone becoming increasingly stern.
"Two years ago, the Yu family was wiped out by the Emperor on charges of treason. Only the daughter of the traitor managed to escape. Later, this woman impersonated Feng Jin and conspired with Prince Jing to seize fame... Yu Qianqian, you have deceived us all for so long. You deserve to die!"
Especially seeing Yu Qianqian's nonchalant demeanor, Feng Yao was instantly enraged. She stretched out her right hand and slapped the other person hard. In the dim light, the five finger marks on Yu Qianqian's face were clearly visible.
Suddenly, Feng Yao caught sight of her protruding belly, slowly bent down, and revealed a sinister smile: "I heard that Prince Su Yu of Jiang Lan Kingdom and that womanizer Hua Mancheng have been entangled with you. How about... we play an interesting game now, and let me take a good look at which wild man is the biological father of this bastard in your belly."
Before she finished speaking, she immediately turned her head and gave a wink to the jailer beside her. After Yu Qianqian was tied to the cross, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and walked over step by step.
Only then did Yu Qianqian finally meet Feng Yao's gaze. She glanced at her lower abdomen, her expression hardening, and she instinctively screamed, "You... what exactly do you want to do?"
"What? You're scared too?" Approaching her unhurriedly, Feng Yao brandished the dagger in front of her eyes, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She sneered, "Yu Qianqian, when you impersonated Feng Jin and suppressed me at every turn, did you ever think you'd end up like this?"
As she finished speaking, a gust of bleak wind blew in through the cell door, causing her to tremble as she pressed herself against the torture instruments. She stared intently at Feng Yao, her face instantly filled with terror, a panic she had never felt before.
Looking back at Yu Qianqian's suddenly changed expression, Feng Yao suddenly lost control and burst into wild laughter: "Yu Qianqian, everything you owe me, today your child will repay it!" With that, she raised the dagger with both hands and, with a thud, plunged it into Yu Qianqian's abdomen!
"No……"
An unbearable pain spread violently through her body. Yu Qianqian screamed in agony. She saw with her own eyes that the dagger had cut a deep gash in her lower abdomen, and streams of bright red blood gushed out from her abdomen, staining her prison uniform and spraying Feng Yao's face!
Yu Qianqian watched helplessly as something heavy slipped from her lower body. Her heart clenched painfully, and she screamed in agony, "My child... my child!"
Before her words had even faded, she finally fainted amidst a mix of fear and grief.
Feng Yao approached Yu Qianqian step by step, then a sharp gaze swept across the ground. She picked up the child from the ground with a backhand, held her in her arms and gently rocked her. She raised the corners of her lips slightly, looked at the unconscious Yu Qianqian with a cold smile, and felt a surge of secret pleasure in her heart.
Having been deceived by Yu Qianqian for so long, she was finally able to get revenge, and of course she was happy.
