Fu Sang scoffed and retorted sharply, "You're talking nonsense!"
“Ling Shuangxue did not use the Yu clan to blackmail you. You willingly became her person and helped her to plot against me.”
Fu Sang's brows revealed the authority of a superior, and he said sternly, "Do you know that plotting against me will result in the extermination of your entire family, numbering nine generations?"
Yu Zhu trembled violently and prostrated herself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare this servant... spare this servant's family... none of this has anything to do with them..."
Jiang Linxian's handsome face was cold and aloof, his thin lips forming a ruthless curve.
"His Majesty will forgive the Yu clan. You only need to do one thing for His Majesty."
Yu Zhu raised her head, her face streaked with tears and filled with fear, and asked, "What does Your Majesty want this servant to do?"
Fu Sang feigned weakness and said, "Go and inform Ling Shuangxue that I have awakened and summon her and Ouyang Ziming."
Before Yuzhu could answer, her tone was chilling.
"You can also choose to tell Ling Shuangxue that I was not poisoned at all, and then let her escape as soon as possible. Maybe she can survive and defect."
Fu Sang's bright eyes flickered slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
"My people are everywhere in and around the palace; not even a bird can escape."
Yu Zhu had witnessed firsthand just how terrifying Her Majesty the Empress was.
Ling Shuangxue's decision to enter the palace by her own initiative has made her a sitting duck. Not only has she foolishly exposed her ambition, but she has also been branded with the crime of treason.
And this isn't the only charge.
As the Empress's male favorite, Prince Ouyang committed adultery with the Regent while the Empress was seriously ill.
Both charges were heinous crimes punishable by death.
Yu Zhu was originally the son of a prominent family in Kyoto. In order to assist Lin Shuangxue's great cause, he also entered the palace to serve the incompetent Empress.
Now, he only has one choice.
He confessed to his crimes and, in order to protect his family, revealed Ling Shuangxue's guilt.
Of course, he also had to betray Ling Shuangxue. Her Majesty the Empress had all the evidence and was just waiting to take down Ling Shuangxue.
"This servant understands."
Qingya Palace.
Ling Shuangxue lay comfortably on the handsome man's lap, letting Ouyang Zimo serve her and feed her the chilled plum juice served in the palace.
In ancient times, only nobles of extremely high status could enjoy certain things.
For example, the pure natural ice cellars could only be found within the imperial palace.
Only emperors, who were above all others, could enjoy such a luxurious lifestyle.
Yu Zhu entered the elegant palace, her head bowed.
"The Regent".
Ling Shuangxue sat up and said with a smile, "Yuzhu, you're here."
After spending this time together, Ling Shuangxue had come to regard Yuzhu as a member of her harem.
Yu Zhu lowered her head, not daring to look at Ling Shuangxue, and simply said, "Her Majesty the Empress has awakened and summons you."
Ling Shuangxue and Ouyang Ziming exchanged a glance.
"Yeah?"
Ling Shuangxue put on her shoes and got out of bed, saying, "I want to go and take a look."
Ouyang Ziming followed closely behind, a smile on her face, and said, "Let's go see her off on her final journey."
Half an hour later.
The two entered the Luanfeng Palace, which was filled with the smell of medicine.
Lying in bed, Fu Sang heard footsteps approaching and quickly pretended to be terminally ill.
Ling Shuangxue walked to the huge dragon bed, and as a subject, she did not bow, but looked at the delicate and beautiful girl on the bed with an arrogant expression.
"Your Majesty, you're awake."
Fu Sang coughed twice and said, "Traitor! I am not yet dead... cough... and you have already moved into the harem, and even with my male favorites..."
A cold laugh rang out.
