Qiao Si watched quietly as the emperor lay on the ground in pain, feeling no sympathy, only pleasure.
People like him.
You deserve it.
You deserve to lose your favorite.
He deserves to be betrayed by someone close to him.
He deserves to be abandoned by his relatives.
He deserves to be deserted by everyone.
"Ayu... It's not like this... It's not like this... Ayu!..." He painfully explained over and over again, begging for forgiveness, immersed in that nightmare. Before his eyes, it seemed as if her bloody and cold body had left him. In his ears, there was a chaotic clamor of voices, a baby crying, and someone whispering, mocking his presumption, ridiculing his actions, and insulting his lowliness...
"Shut up! Shut up!...Ayu! Don't go!..." He was caught in a false illusion of chaos, and everything around him almost tore him apart.
Seeing his crazy expression as if he was in a demonic state, Sun Chanyu turned around and handed the back to Qiao Si, "Here you go."
Her voice was extremely flat, and her eyes were equally calm, as if she had nothing to do with the emperor, as if she was not the one who had slept with him for so many years.
"The boat you want is over there, and someone will take you where you want to go. The deal between us is over, and if you want to leave, you can leave now." When passing by Sun Chanyu, Qiao Si looked at her expressionless face and said coldly.
She and she were just a deal.
I just don’t know what’s the point of her taking a boat to watch a fireworks display?
After Qiao Si sneaked into the capital, her first plan was actually to force Sun Chanyu to betray the emperor. However, she didn't expect that after she sent Qiuyue to find her, she would easily agree to help her.
What she wanted in the end was just to go down the river to Jiangnan to watch the fireworks.
She wanted nothing, neither gold, silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor status.
Qiao Si didn't understand her and didn't want to get into her details. As long as she could get what she wanted, these things were insignificant.
Sun Chanyu hummed lightly and walked away.
The maidservant who had been following her looked at her back, trembling with fear as she held the sword at her neck, and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't abandon me! Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Chanyu just looked at her coldly, then ignored her and continued to leave.
The palace maid had no one to turn to for help, so she collapsed to the ground in despair, her eyes filled with fear of death.
Sun Chanyu didn't take her with her because she knew that everyone had lost lives and should pay the price, including her. But she was lucky, lucky enough to be able to decide how to die.
Qiao Si approached the emperor and looked at his miserable appearance. His men kept moving and stabbed the sharp blade straight into his palm as he was crawling on the deck. The emperor screamed immediately.
"ah!--"
His confused eyes suddenly became clear, and the pain in his palm stimulated his nerves. In just a moment, cold sweat covered his forehead and his face turned pale.
"Now, it's time to settle the accounts between us...
My father was a loyal and courageous man his entire life! For the sake of your Li family's kingdom, he was always cautious and prudent! If you weren't afraid that his achievements would surpass yours! If you weren't so suspicious! He wouldn't have died!
And my mother! And my cousin! My sisters... It's all because of you! It's all because of you!
All of you in the Li family deserve to die! My grandfather shouldn't have served you as his master!"
As Qiao Si roared angrily, the sword pierced through his limbs again and again, determined to make every inch of his skin suffer this biting torture.
The emperor screamed incessantly, blood splattered everywhere, and the others were frightened and trembled.
Qiao Si's crazy look frightened them. She was obviously a beautiful woman, but her methods were so cruel. Every move she made was torturing Cuican, but it didn't hit her vital parts, so he couldn't die quickly and could only scream in pain.
After being tortured by Qiao Si, the emperor fainted several times. Every time he fainted, Qiao Si would send someone to stop the bleeding and give him medicine. When he woke up, he would be tortured again.
There were screams by the river. Some people couldn't stand the torture and wanted to hurt others and escape, but were killed mercilessly by Qiao Si's men.
"General, what should we do with these people? Should we keep them?"
"Why keep them alive? They all deserve to die! General, why not just kill them!"
Some guards were furious and wanted only to kill them for revenge.
"...wait for the princess's orders." The young general looked around at them quietly, their frightened eyes revealing their fear. The young general just spoke calmly, like a ruthless machine.
Some guards were not satisfied with this arrangement and angrily ran behind Qiao Si to demand a result.
Qiao Si looked back coldly at the frightened expressions of those people. She didn't say anything, and her bloodthirsty face made her look particularly brutal and cruel.
Wherever her cold eyes swept across, everyone held their breath, not daring to move loudly for fear of provoking her revenge.
After a long silence, she finally spoke in a cold voice, like a demon from hell, announcing their death, yet also like a devil with good intentions, leaving a glimmer of hope: "I'm giving you a chance. If anyone has done anything, think carefully before speaking out. Don't try to deceive. If anyone is truly innocent, I will let them go... But if anyone still tries to cheat and conceal their guilt, don't blame me for being cruel."
The young general had been staring at her. He thought that their princess would be so angry that she would kill them all in a rage, but she didn't.
Their princess is still the same as before...
The young general raised a faint smile, bowed, and said respectfully, "As you command."
Some of the group, having survived the ordeal, beamed with joy, loudly recounting their experiences, thankful they hadn't aided the tyrant and harmed others. Others, heartbroken, could not escape their fate. Good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished; their retribution had finally arrived. Still others, unwilling to accept this, greedily struggled, lying about their innocence, but they were doomed to disappointment. Qiao Si's words were well-founded. They knew what they had done, and would not kill without authorization, nor let anyone go...
…
Qiao Si tortured the emperor for a long time. Even if he died, he would grind his bones and scatter his ashes, and destroy everything he had in the most vicious way.
Until everything was over, Qiao Si stood quietly by the boat, gazing into the distance, and finally understood Sun Chanyu's silence at that time.
After she killed the person she wanted to kill the most, all that was left was confusion...
That hatred! It seemed that it could not be dispelled with the emperor's death, but instead turned into pain, filling my heart. Those memories echoed in my mind again and again. Whenever I recalled them, I wanted to cry, and I wanted to laugh, but in the end, it all turned into silence...
Where else could she go?
What else can she do?
