Mi Shan did not deny it.
"God gave us a second chance, but you used it to scheme against me."
"What could I do! In that situation, you would have done the same!" Mi Fen cried out in despair. "If I didn't go to the talent show, my whole family would die. Only you could go!"
"Don't you have a single malicious thought? If you really want to resolve this, you can discuss it with me. However, someone like you, who has always considered himself superior and looks down on people like us, will naturally make a hasty decision to let me die in your place."
Mi Shan finished speaking.
Mi Fen was speechless, covering her face: "I'm sorry, your life is more perfect than mine now. What more do you want?"
She felt powerless to resist.
Given Mi Shan's current status, taking her life would be a simple matter of a word.
She was just the wife of a lowly guard.
There was no martial arts champion, nor a commander of the imperial guards.
There were no ladies of high rank.
Everything is nothing but a mirage.
Mi Shan smiled faintly: "I didn't mean to do anything to you. Everything you're going through now is just what I went through back then. Don't think too highly of other people's lives. You haven't experienced it, so you don't know the whole story."
Mi Fen clenched her fists and stopped talking.
Since they had a rare opportunity to visit the palace, they planned to have dinner before returning home.
While they were eating together, Zhang Jianyue's eyes were almost glued to Mi Shan.
He always tried to please her by putting food on her plate.
Mi Shan coldly refused: "Xun'er, take the food he touched and throw it away. Zhang Jianyue, don't put any more food on my plate. I'm not eating."
Zhang Jianyue's face stiffened.
"Is it not even your brother-in-law's concern for you?"
Mi Shan felt like vomiting when she heard this.
After dinner, Mi Shan took a walk in the courtyard and found that Zhang Jianyue had not left but was following her from a distance.
Xun'er frowned in disgust: "Your Majesty, why is he still clinging to you? He always has, and he still hasn't given up."
Mi Shan frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, before she chuckled softly.
He whispered a few words in her ear.
Then, Xun'er nodded and prepared to leave, still a little worried before she went.
Mi Shan squeezed her hand: "It's alright, go and do it."
"Here you are."
After Xun'er left, Mi Shan turned and went into a side room.
Seeing this, Zhang Jianyue followed them inside.
"Shan'er."
In the darkness, seeing the woman standing by the bed, Zhang Jianyue couldn't restrain herself and rushed over, wanting to hug her from behind.
Mi Shan coldly avoided his gaze.
"You're avoiding me? I thought you came here on purpose to give me a chance."
"You're overthinking it. You're asking for trouble by deliberately trespassing on my residence." Mi Shan stared at him coldly.
"Shan'er, stop pretending. You used to like me the most. Now that I'm a palace guard, we'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time together. The emperor is getting old and has so many women. He definitely won't be able to take care of you. You can come to me."
Mi Shan sneered.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
Mi Fen stormed in, her face contorted with rage, and slapped him hard across the face: "Zhang Jianyue, you shameless!"
“How am I shameless? We’re getting a divorce soon. You said we’d separate if I didn’t become the top martial arts scholar. Now you can’t control me.”
“She can’t handle it, I will.” Mi Shan’s cold eyes flashed with icy light as she looked outside. “A-Chan, do it.”
Achan is now the commander of the Imperial Guards, and she is usually quite busy. It's rare to see her unless there's something important, so she specially asked Xun'er to invite her over.
Zhang Jianyue opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman who walked in from outside and approached him step by step.
"It's you!"
He lost to her many times on the field, leaving a deep impression and a deep hatred for her.
"It's all your fault. If I hadn't run into you, I might have been the champion of martial arts."
"You? A bottom-ranked student, second to last."
Mi Shan smiled faintly: "Don't waste your breath on him, just kill him."
"You want to kill me?" Zhang Jianyue finally felt fear.
Achan stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife.
Mi Fen was still not satisfied and snatched the knife from A Chan's hand: "Let me do it!"
Thinking of the humiliation and beatings she had suffered at Zhang Jianyue's hands, she wished she could tear him to pieces.
Zhang Jianyue never expected that today would be his death day. He collapsed to the ground, clutching his abdomen, but he couldn't stop the bleeding from the several holes.
"How dare you..."
"What is there to be afraid of? You offended Consort De, broke into her palace and attempted to commit an indecent act! We are merely executing you on the spot! Even if the Emperor were here, he wouldn't have a chance to find fault with you!"
"On the contrary, it will only bring trouble to your family! They'll behead your entire family!"
Despair flashed in Zhang Jianyue's eyes: "I don't believe you can cover up the truth with one hand! Someone! Someone come here!"
Mi Shan gave her a wink.
Achan pierced his heart with a single sword strike, splattering blood all over Mifen's face.
Mi Fen, however, remained surprisingly calm, without shedding a single tear, and instead burst into laughter.
"I'm free."
"I am finally free."
She no longer needed to worry about whether Zhang Jianyue was willing to divorce her.
He no longer needs to return to his dark and gloomy home.
"Mi Shan, this time, I really should thank you properly."
“I’m not doing this for you,” Mi Shan said coldly, “but for my past self.”
She had long wanted to kill Zhang Jianyue, that utterly despicable man.
However, I've always been frustrated by the lack of opportunity.
Now that he's deliberately courting death, how could she possibly let him go?
Zhang Jianyue probably never expected that his death would come so suddenly.
"What should we do with the corpse now?"
