Chapter 2400 Death is inevitable
Kang Biyun looked at her coldly and sneered, "My Lady, don't think you are so high and mighty now. In fact, in my opinion, you are pathetic!"
"oh?"
Nan Yan curled the corners of her lips: "How can I be pitiful?"
Kang Biyun said, "I know what I want. I want a devoted person, someone I can die with no regrets. On the other hand, you, the Imperial Concubine, appear to be high and mighty, the head of all the concubines, with immense power in the harem. But in reality, you are just one of the many women around the Emperor."
“…”
"Every day, I have to find ways to prevent the emperor from getting close to other women."
“…”
"Don't you think you're pathetic?"
Nan Yan was silent, not saying a word, just looking at her coldly.
Kang Biyun became more and more indulgent, laughing as she said, "You are so high and mighty now, but that's just because you were young and beautiful, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor. That's why you are here today."
“…”
"But don't forget, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Sooner or later, someone will surpass you."
“…”
"By then, you will definitely repay me tenfold for the humiliation I suffered today!"
After she said these words, her whole body was still trembling.
She knew that she was doomed to die today, so before she died, she simply indulged herself and said out loud everything she had dared not say in the past, even the most resentful curse in her heart.
After she finished speaking, she laughed again.
He said coldly: "Noble Concubine, Noble Concubine Si, flowers are not good for a hundred days, your hard days are still to come!"
“…”
Nan Yan remained silent and just looked at her coldly.
Although Kang Biyun's words were all meant to irritate her, the more she listened, the calmer she became.
There was frost in his eyes, but at this moment, it slowly faded away.
What remains is compassion.
That obvious, pitying look made Kang Biyun suddenly furious. She said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that?! If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not afraid of anything now!"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her quietly for a while.
Then, he said calmly: "You said that you are more noble than me in terms of feelings."
"good!"
"Who gave you the confidence?"
“…”
Kang Biyun's throat choked.
Nan Yan continued with a sneer and asked, "Let me ask you, who was it that took the initiative to be selected into the palace?"
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Kang Biyun's breathing paused.
Nan Yan looked at her coldly and said, "You originally didn't have the qualifications to be selected. It was because you wanted to enter the palace to enjoy favor, and because your parents wanted to cling to the powerful, they attached themselves to the Wu family and asked Duke Chengguo to give you the qualifications to be selected, and only then were you able to enter the palace."
“…”
"Since you know you're entering the palace and that you'll be serving the emperor, you should know that the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and so many concubines. If you can't accept that, you can stay outside the palace and pursue your 'one true love'. No one will blame you, and no one can take your life."
“…”
"It's a pity that you still entered the palace."
“…”
"What you saw was the splendor and wealth of being a concubine, and what you thought about was the benefits of your family's future prosperity. At that time, did the words 'loyal person' ever enter your mind?"
“…”
"I'm afraid you haven't even thought about it."
“…”
"After entering the palace, you failed to gain favor, and the Wu family you relied on also fell from power. Now, you want to be with someone you love."
“…”
"Are these three words, 'a devoted person', just a fig leaf for you?"
“…”
"Know yourself. What you want is not a loyal person, but wealth and glory. It's just that you can't get it and you can't bear the loneliness, so you do such a shameful thing."
“…”
"An ugly thing is an ugly thing. It won't become beautiful just because you put it in a high-sounding way."
“…”
"Kang Biyun, if you dare to eat salted fish, don't be afraid of thirst. If you want a 'loyal person', don't count on the wealth and splendor of the palace. If you enter the palace to be a concubine, you must behave like a concubine! The day I met him, I already knew who he was. If he became emperor, he would have three palaces and six courtyards. I can accept all of this, and I can also endure the loneliness behind it all. That's why I stayed by his side, and we are where we are today."
“…”
"And you—"
She looked at her coldly, the pity in her eyes turning into contempt: "You only have eyes for what you want, but you don't have the ability to get it. When you lose power, you blame everyone else and do such a shameful thing. And you still have the nerve to use the word 'single-minded person' to cover up your shame."
“…”
"These three words are so useful, wouldn't murder and arson be praised as merits?"
“…”
"You're a whore, yet you're still trying to be a virtuous woman. Do you really think these specious words of yours have any weight in front of me? I'm telling you, they're worthless!"
Hearing these words was like a thunderclap.
Kang Biyun was devastated by her and her last bit of strength was defeated. She collapsed like a pool of soft flesh that could no longer hold up.
Nan Yan then slowly said, "Now, I have one last question for you."
Kang Biyun was trembling and didn't even have the strength to raise her head.
He could only whisper in a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "What else do you want to ask? What else do you want?"

Outside Yangxingzhai, everyone was standing in the yard, staring cautiously at the tightly closed door of Yangxingzhai, and Ran Xiaoyu was standing at the bottom of the steps.
As long as there was any noise inside, she would rush in immediately.
However, after such a long time, there was no sound from inside.
I don’t know what the imperial concubine wants to say to Kang Biyun.
She turned around a little irritably and saw Xue Yun standing far away in the corner. She didn't leave either, but looked at Yangxingzhai with a worried look on her face.
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, walked over and asked, "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Well?"
Xue Yun was stunned by her question and looked up at her.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Why are you still staying here?"
"I……"
Xue Yun hesitated.
In fact, she didn't know why she stayed here, but instinctively, she stayed. Although it has been confirmed that Kang Jieyu is the murderer of Princess Xinping, she still can't let it go for some reason.
Maybe it was because of the desperate expression on her face when I told her those things.
This is what it feels like to be heartbroken.
She knew very well that she could not respond to such an emotion, but she felt guilty in her heart - if it were not for her, perhaps Kang Biyun would not have taken this desperate path.
She asked anxiously, "Kang Jieyu, what will happen?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her.
He said coldly, "Death is inevitable. It all depends on how it happens and how many people die."
"ah……?"
Xue Yun was shocked when he heard this.
At this moment, the door of Yangxingzhai opened.
