I never imagined that his kingdom would fall so quickly.
I hadn't even thought of that.
Recently, I finally managed to spit out the piece of cloth that had been stuck in my mouth.
What's going on outside?
"General Li?"
However, he was merely a pawn, and no one would respond to him.
Zhou Zhizhi stormed in, and not long after, a scream came from inside the room.
Xiao Xiyou's eyes showed even more doting affection.
However, there are still some unresolved issues within the palace.
The emperor simply did not want to waste his energy on this.
Consort Lan never expected things to develop this way.
In the damp dungeon, the beauty was still wearing the same silk and satin she had worn before.
She lay on the ground, pale and weak.
It's long gone, no longer as wealthy as it used to be.
At that moment, the door outside was opened, and a beam of light shone in.
This made her slightly more alive and move a little.
She slowly got up from the ground, watching the figure getting closer and closer to her.
They kept walking this way, and their pace was neither hurried nor slow.
Actually, they knew who this person was.
The emperor slowly lowered his head, looking at the face he had always loved so much.
Their expressions also gradually turned gloomy.
Consort Lan looked up listlessly, her eyes watery.
"Your Majesty, you've arrived?"
Her voice was rather delicate, and after she uttered just that one sentence, even men who didn't know her would be captivated by her.
But that person was, after all, an emperor.
After reading it, the Emperor nodded slightly.
"How have you been these past few days, my beloved concubine?"
That's what she said, but the love and tenderness she once felt were long gone from her eyes.
They were all perfectly aware that after doing something like this, there was no way things could ever go back to the way they were before.
Consort Lan now knows that her son has left.
There was no other way but to rely on this man to make the rest of her life a little easier.
But I didn't expect that this time I was acting rashly, and one wrong step led to another.
He had ruined all his plans, and if he continued to be stubborn, he might only end up dying, and might even implicate his son.
"How could I care about being good or bad right now? I'm just thinking about how I've let His Majesty down. The thought of it keeps me up at night."
After hearing this, the Emperor gripped her chin tightly with one hand.
"Is what my beloved consort said true?"
"During those days in the dungeon, did you truly develop a sense of remorse?"
Consort Lan shed tears, sobbing intermittently.
Those around them felt extremely sorry for him.
But since they were the emperor's women, they dared not say a word, or even look at them.
"Your Majesty, I know that I have made a grave mistake this time, so I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
"Even if I were to atone with my death, I would not be afraid at all."
She seemed genuinely determined to leave when she said that.
The emperor might have believed it before, but he probably wouldn't now.
After all that has happened, they have no idea what kind of person this is.
All those sweet nothings I said before have long been tiresome to hear.
"Since that's the case, I happen to be unsure how to deal with you, so I'll just go along with your wishes."
Sure enough, when the emperor finished speaking, a crack appeared on the beauty's pitiful face.
She stood there, staring in disbelief at the person in front of her.
"emperor……"
The emperor was the same way, always watching her.
"Didn't you say you were willing to atone with your death? Then I will grant your wish."
Looking at the man in front of her, Consort Lan began to panic after confirming that what he said did not seem to be a lie.
"No, I was just thinking this in my heart. If I really died, I would never see Your Majesty again in this lifetime."
"I am not reconciled, Your Majesty. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
She was crying her eyes out.
This tactic worked for the previous emperor, but it's completely useless for the current one.
He snorted coldly; the emperor's majesty did not allow anyone to challenge it.
"There are other concubines in this palace who would love for me to accompany them, so you may go."
"Otherwise, many people have come to criticize you at the thatched cottage these past two days, and there's nothing we can do about it."
His voice was cold and devoid of any warmth; this was the ruthlessness of an emperor.
"emperor……"
No sooner had Consort Lan finished speaking than a sword fell directly in front of her.
It seems I am doomed to die today.
Consort Lan knew that she had done such a thing, and it was impossible for her to ask for a way out.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided that she should make the best of her last moments, otherwise her son might never come back.
She picked up the sword, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were hesitating about something.
"In that case, I will go."
"But this time, I'm afraid I'll never see you again in my life. Please, Your Majesty, don't blame our son anymore."
She knew it perfectly well.
Emperors are ruthless.
No matter what she does, nothing will change.
He drew his sword, intending to slit his own throat, but a stone suddenly landed on the sword, causing it to fall to the ground.
"Lan Fei suddenly thought of something fun, which might be more interesting than letting you die."
The emperor revealed a wicked smile.
He had many women in his harem, but he never really thought about cherishing any one of them.
But this is the only one he truly intends to treat very well.
I never expected it to turn out like this.
If he doesn't get his revenge properly, he'll probably never get over it.
"What are you doing...?"
Consort Lan had no idea what was inside that gourd.
But all I know is that I definitely messed with someone I shouldn't have messed with.
"Your Majesty, if I am unable to do anything else, I am willing to die."
Although this method is indeed a bit extreme, it can still help to resolve many other difficult issues.
The emperor has now realized the truth of his own actions; he has absolutely no way to deal with the person in front of him.
She now only wants to die, and there's no other way to change things.
