Chapter 2907: Killing and Destroying the Heart
"In the final analysis, you chose the wrong scapegoat!"
Hearing this, Ling Shansi was completely dejected.
She knelt on the ground, staring at Nan Yan blankly, then recalled everything she had done and let out a miserable laugh.
This time, she truly understood what it meant to draw water with a bamboo basket and get nothing.
It turned out that the situation he had worked so hard and planned for so long, even at the cost of human life, only made him more clearly exposed, making it even harder for him to deny it.
This feeling of defeat made her extremely miserable.
But when Nan Yan looked at her again, she had a different feeling.
She was not completely without impression of Ling Shansi. After all, she had demoted Zhao Nanfeng midway through the talent show, and afterwards, only these two people were left. Ling Shansi was young, and although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was youthful and pretty. Even now, as she was kneeling in front of her, she exuded a sense of pitifulness.
However, such a person has such deep thoughts.
Nan Yan sighed softly and said, "Although I say that you are too clever for your own good, this is indeed a mistake that only a smart person would make."
“…”
"Although you are young, you are so thoughtful and thoughtful, which is really rare. If you can really stay in the palace and stay by the emperor's side, you may be able to gain some favor."
“…”
"It won't be like it is now."
Having said that, Ling Shansi's face turned pale again.
She looked up at Nan Yan and said viciously, "Why do you think it is?!"
“…”
"In this harem, no matter whether young or old, beautiful or ugly, new or long-serving, no one can get close to the emperor. Who do you think is behind this?!"
“…”
"My Lady, it's because of you!"
Seeing her hysterical look, not only Ruoshui, but even Tingfu at the door hurried forward and stood in front of Nan Yan, fearing that she would become desperate and do something to harm the imperial concubine.
But Nan Yan just reached out and gently pushed them away.
She calmly looked at Ling Shansi, whose eyes were red and seemed to be going crazy, and said calmly: "If you want to hate me, then hate me."
“…”
"If you don't arouse envy, you are mediocre. Life is just like that."
“…”
"Since I have such feelings for the Emperor, I naturally want to gain his favor. If someone else took it away from me, I would be the one suffering so much right now. In comparison, I would rather gain the Emperor's favor myself and suffer your jealousy. I don't care."
“……!”
Hearing these words, Ling Shansi was shocked.
It was as if something enlightened her from head to toe. She woke up with a start, looked at Nan Yan again, smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder, no wonder the emperor can't leave you. So many people want to replace you, but none of them can."
“…”
"My Lady, you are so kind and resourceful."
Having said that, she took a deep breath, stood up straight to make herself look less embarrassed, and then said: "Okay, now you know who I am and why I came to the palace. Now, what do you want?"
As she said this, she sneered again.
"If you still want to dig something out of me, I tell you, it's impossible!"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her calmly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
She said calmly, "Do you think that I came here tonight to really ask you something, or to interrogate you to find out something?"
“…”
"You're wrong."
Ling Shansi was suddenly shocked when he heard this.
Nan Yan continued, "We've even captured Long Tingyun. What value do you think you still have?"
She slowly stood up and said, "I only want to remove a little filth from this palace. But this little filth is of no value to me."
This sentence completely defeated Ling Shansi.
As someone else's hidden chess piece, she was completely useless; as a palace concubine, she didn't even have the chance to face the emperor alone. She seemed to be born for all this, but in the end, she accomplished nothing and gained nothing.
There is no life more ridiculous than this.
Nan Yan's words were so cruel and heartbreaking that they shattered her entire being and her entire life.
Ling Shansi looked at her blankly.
Looking at her arrogant look, and then at the indifferent expressions of the people around her, he suddenly burst into laughter. While laughing, he pointed at Nan Yan and said viciously: "My Lady Concubine, do you think you can dominate the emperor's favor forever?"
“…”
"Stop dreaming! You will grow old too. You are already old now. Sooner or later, the emperor will get tired of you. Someone will always replace you!"
“…”
"Then you will experience the same suffering that we have experienced."
After saying that, she suddenly turned around and bumped into the wall next to her.
A blood-red flower bloomed between her forehead and the wall, and then Nan Yan heard a loud noise.
"Boom—boom—"
This sound startled everyone present.
Nan Yan frowned and watched Ling Shansi's body fall softly to the ground. When he fell on his back, he was already dead. Blood flowed on his young and pale face, looking sad and desolate.
Tingfu hurriedly stood in front of Nanyan.
"My lady, please don't look at such filthy things."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything. Her expression was calm, neither surprised nor afraid.
He took a step forward, raised his hand and pushed Tingfu away, then looked down at Ling Shansi's body. Although there was a hint of regret in his eyes, there was no other emotion at all.
She knew very well that although the little girl was pitiful, if what she was about to do succeeded, they would be the ones who would suffer.
So, she didn't have much extra sympathy.
After a casual glance, she turned and walked out, saying, "Lady Ling died suddenly of illness. Let's clean up this place."
"yes."
Tingfu waved his hand, and several young eunuchs outside immediately ran in.
When Nan Yan walked to the door, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which blew out all the candles in the room. Suddenly, it became dark behind her, and her heart trembled inexplicably. At the same time, a loud thunder exploded above her head.
“Boom—boom—!”
When I looked up again, I found that the bright moon hanging high in the sky had disappeared at some point. Dark clouds covered the entire sky. I could faintly see a flash of lightning in the clouds, which added a suffocating heaviness to the silent night.
It turns out that what I just heard was thunder.
For some reason, at that moment, she felt an indescribable sadness, as if someone was pinching her heart.
She asked, "Where is the emperor?"
