Chapter 2484: This life, you have lived in vain
"So, the emperor has given me some dignity."
As she spoke, she looked down at Nian Qiu and said, "I originally wanted to leave you some dignity, but unfortunately—you didn't want it."
“…”
Nian Qiu froze there.
It was not until this moment that she realized how ridiculous her actions were. For a momentary anger, she betrayed the imperial concubine whom she had followed for many years, and threw away the friendship of so many years. Like a possessed person, she embarked on the road of no return.
In the end, he got nothing and fell into the abyss with the Shen family.
She started crying again, but there was a smile on her face.
A smile uglier than crying.
As she laughed, the footsteps beside her slowly approached and finally stopped beside her.
Tingfu walked to her side, bent down, and handed the tray to her. The bowl of medicine on it was shaking slightly, even emitting steam, and exuding a terrifying fishy and bitter smell.
Nian Qiu looked up at Nan Yan and cried, "My Lady, are you really going to kill me?"
Nan Yan glanced at her.
He said calmly, "I don't want to kill you."
“…”
"I just hope you will commit suicide."
“…”
"In this way, I can maintain the dignity that the emperor has given me, and you can also keep your body intact."
“…”
"More importantly, even your parents and your family can be protected."
Hearing the last sentence, Nian Qiu trembled, raised his head, and looked at Nan Yan with a somewhat horrified expression: "My parents? My family?"
Nan Yan said coldly: "Why, didn't you think about it when you did all this?"
“…”
"Selling out one's master for personal gain and leaking imperial secrets are capital crimes."
“…”
"What's more, you even plotted to murder the princess. You've been by my side for so many years, you must know that this is a crime punishable by the execution of your entire family."
“…”
"The Emperor loves the princess so much. If it weren't for this dignity for me, not to mention the execution of your entire family, I'm afraid even the extermination of your entire clan would be enough to make the hatred in my heart go unresolved."
“…”
"We were once master and servant. The only thing I can do for you is to leave you with an intact body, a dignified one. After you die, I will only tell everyone that you were ill and were granted leave from the palace. I will also send your family to take you home and bury you properly."
Nian Qiu trembled even more violently.
Tears rolled down her eyes like beads with broken strings, dripping into the bowl of medicine that broke her heart, creating ripples.
It also made her shadow more and more chaotic.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
His hands seemed to move involuntarily as he gently picked up the still slightly hot bowl of medicine. Tingfu was standing by. Although Nan Yan had given him instructions long ago and he more or less understood what was going on, he still couldn't help but turn his face away when he saw Nian Qiu holding the bowl of medicine with red eyes.
But there was no longer any emotion on Nan Yan's face.
There wasn't even a hint of warmth in those eyes.
She looked at Nian Qiu and said calmly, "In your next life, remember to be a good person."
“…”
"It's best to refrain from using insulting words; it's best not to harbor harmful thoughts. Otherwise, you'll have lived this life in vain."
“…”
Nian Qiu's hands were shaking, causing the medicine in the bowl to sway. She gritted her teeth, looked up at Nan Yan, and said softly, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam."
Nan Yan nodded at her.
Nianqiu held the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
