Huanzhu thought she would live a peaceful and uneventful life, but unexpectedly, Wanwan was selected and married Xuan Ye. Huanzhu also entered the palace. From this moment on, the most secret seed of revenge she had kept in her heart had sprouted.
Not long after she entered the palace, Wu Sangui's entire family was executed. Seeing Jianning kneeling alone in the rain, pleading for mercy but being rejected, he decided to use her as a weapon in his hands.
Sure enough, Jianning, with her love-struck mind, was led astray and unknowingly became a tool in someone else's hands.
Fearing that Jianning might be too soft-hearted because of their blood relation, she kept telling her how innocent Wu Yingxiong's death was and how tragic the child's life was.
Gradually, Jianning came to believe her completely, concluding that Dayuer and Xuan Ye were wicked people.
However, Da Yu'er was too clever, and they had no way to deal with her. They could only wait until after Da Yu'er passed away before they joined forces to ruthlessly harm the concubines and princes, with the aim of making Xuan Ye suffer unbearable pain.
Upon hearing this, Jianning was completely stunned. She looked at Huanzhu in disbelief: "So, you were lying to me all along?"
Huanzhu smiled coldly, "Hesheli Mingyue is right, you really are stupid. Otherwise, how could you have been so easily fooled by me?"
“You…” Jianning gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word.
"Don't you even use your pig brain? If they really wanted to eliminate you completely, would they have let you go, given how much you love Wu Yingxiong?" Huanzhu said contemptuously.
Huanzhu's words, spoken slowly and deliberately, made Jianning's face grow increasingly grim, and her eyes began to fill with resentment.
Mingyue didn't have time to watch them fight. She interrupted, "Consort Hui has been so good to you, how could you bear to kill her?"
But Huanzhu showed no remorse whatsoever, and even mocked, "She was just a stepping stone, anyway, she's dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Who said I'm dead!"
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Wanwan standing unharmed at the door. She smiled slightly at Mingyue, walked in slowly, and then rushed towards Huanzhu with all her might, as if she had gone mad.
That's right, this was also arranged by Mingyue. She knew Wanwan was innocent, so how could she really let her die?
When Jianning and Huanzhu came in, Wanwan had already reached the window.
"You slut, you bitch! How dare you lie to me and kill my son! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Wanwan screamed sharply. She grabbed Huanzhu by the neck with one hand and clenched her other fist, striking Huanzhu hard in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
Wanwan was still not satisfied, so she rushed up to her and kicked her repeatedly, treating her like a punching bag.
Huanzhu groaned in pain, but bit her lip so she wouldn't make a sound.
Wanwan kicked him again and again until she was panting heavily before she finally stopped.
However, no one stopped any of these actions, and everyone felt that Huanzhu deserved what she got.
Wanwan straightened her clothes, curtsied, and said to Xuan Ye, "Your Majesty, I will deal with this vile woman as I see fit!"
“Alright!” Xuan Ye did not refuse.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She stood up and then ordered someone to take Huanzhu, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, away, and followed behind.
Now that the Illusionary Pearl has been dealt with, it's time to deal with Jianning.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Jianning lowered her head in guilt and murmured, "I'm sorry, Xuan Ye."
She suddenly stood up and frantically rammed into the pillar. Cheng Bi was closest to Mingyue, but she did not stop her.
Because she knew that this was the best outcome for Jianning.
Bright red blood flowed down the pillar, dripping onto the ground and splashing up beautiful flowers.
Xuan Ye frowned as he looked at Jianning, tears welling in his eyes, but he remained silent, refusing to call the imperial physician, and letting Jianning breathe her last in front of him.
He is not a saint; he cannot forgive the person who killed his child.
"Drag him away and bury him with Wu Yingxiong!" Xuan Ye said coldly.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the guards quickly dragged Jianning's body away.
At this moment, the sky began to lighten. Xuan Ye looked around at the scenery and said to everyone, "You may all leave and let the Empress rest."
Everyone withdrew, leaving only Mingyue and Xuan Ye behind.
Xuan Ye looked at Mingyue and said, "I still have to go to court. I'll come and keep you company tonight."
Mingyue nodded and watched Xuan Ye leave.
...
Three months later, Mingyue lay leisurely on her bed. Her belly was already very big, and she even had great difficulty walking.
Because of her merit in the previous incident, Cheng Bi, with Ming Yue's help, has successfully been promoted to Consort De.
Now, her children should not be raised by other concubines.
In this way, the relationship between Yinzhen and her will not become so distant in the future.
Mingyue thought that, given her friendship with Chengbi, Yinzhen would certainly not make things difficult for Yinreng after ascending the throne. Besides, she had also made it clear to Xuan Ye not to make her own child the crown prince too early, so as not to make him a thorn in the side of the other princes.
"Your Highness, your belly has sunk low; it looks like you'll give birth in the next few days," Green Sleeves said, patting her shoulder.
"Yes." Mingyue nodded. Through her own control, her weight was no different from that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
"I get tired after lying down for so long."
Upon hearing this, Green Sleeve quickly helped Mingyue to her feet and said, "I heard that Huanzhu has died and Consort Hui threw her into the mass grave."
"Finally dead. These three months of torment have been worthwhile for those princes who have passed away." Mingyue nodded in satisfaction.
For the past three months, Wanwan had subjected Huanzhu to every kind of torture imaginable, and each time she was on the verge of death, she would summon the imperial physician to bring her back to life. This repeated torture left Huanzhu neither human nor ghost, until in the end she only wanted to die.
Today, I've finally put an important matter on my mind.
Just as Mingyue was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt excruciating pain in her abdomen. Knowing that she was about to give birth, she quickly ordered Green Sleeve to summon the imperial physician and midwife.
She lay back on the bed, but the pain became unbearable. She then summoned the system to extract her soul, which relieved the pain.
Three hours later, the cry of a baby rang out, and the child was finally born.
Just as she was about to return to her body, the system spoke up, "The mission is complete, why go back? Aren't you satisfied with being Empress?"
She then realized, "You...you mean the mission is complete."
"That's right, giving birth is the final task. Since Hesheli Mingyue and her child are safe and sound, your task is naturally completed," the system said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Mo Yuanyuan nodded and went back into the space.
The space remained a desolate wasteland.
