"So tonight was arranged by you. You called me here on purpose to lure me into a trap?" Nan Yue reacted at this moment. The guards around the Taiji Hall had been replaced. Since she entered the door, not even a servant was seen. All of this was prepared in advance by the emperor just to deal with her.

The emperor remained silent and did not comment.

"Well, in that case, don't even think about living alone!"

Nan Yue was very excited and took a few steps forward to attack the emperor, but the guards around her were quick to grab her and press her to the ground.

Nan Yue kept struggling, and roared unwillingly: "Let me go! I am the queen, I am the queen! If you dare to disrespect me, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!"

After struggling in vain, Nan Yue was exhausted, her pearl hairpins scattered all over the floor, her clothes in disarray, and there was no trace of the dignified and elegant manner she had when she entered the room.

The emperor saw it all, his face calm and expressionless.

Nan Yue gave up struggling and sneered, "So what if you capture me? You're going to die soon, and this world will soon no longer be yours. King Ye has a large army, has unparalleled military achievements, and is supported by the people. King Liang is close at hand, and as soon as you die, he will immediately issue an imperial edict to ascend the throne as emperor."

"My good Majesty, I have seen the chaos and devastation that has befallen Tianji since your death. Do you know what caused all this?"

Nan Yue stared at the emperor's eyes and said viciously: "It's all because of you. Although I am in the harem, I am not stupid. Do you think no one can see that you are afraid of the Night King? You are afraid of the Night King, so you support the King of Liang. Who would have thought that the King of Liang is just a piece of mud that can't be supported against the wall!"

"You look down on the King of Liang, but you have nurtured him to be ambitious. You are afraid of the King of Night, but you have to give him most of the military power of Tianji. Your Majesty, you have never been good at civil governance or military governance in your life. Among the many princes under your lap, only a few are still alive. When you are about to die, which son will see you off? Which son will sincerely shed tears for you? You are so pitiful, you are the most pitiful person in the world!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Tell her to shut up!" The emperor was furious, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Nan Yue. "Who do you think you are? How dare you blame me! Concubine Hui, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come out? Are you waiting for me to kill her myself?"

Concubine Hui? Nan Yue was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrongly because she was shouting.

But the woman in plain clothes and without any makeup who walked out from behind the screen was indeed Qin Xuelin.

"You...it's you! You conspired with the emperor to do all this!" Nan Yue's unwillingness surged in her heart again. After all her precautions, who could have expected that the usually peaceful Concubine Hui would be the one who was unaware of the situation?

Nan Yue regretted deeply at this moment. She should have stopped Qin Xuelin from going to Taiji Hall to visit the emperor.

"Empress, we meet again in less than half a day." Qin Xuelin said expressionlessly, "I just didn't expect to see you in this scene. The world is unpredictable."

Nan Yue taunted, "Forget it, Concubine Hui. I really hate your arrogant and conceited look. I am where I am today because of you! It was you who passed on the emperor's message, cleared the obstacles for him, and led me into the game. How dare you say that all this has nothing to do with you!"

The appearance of Qin Xuelin made Nan Yue figure out the whole thing. The emperor was seriously ill, and all contact with the outside world had to be conveyed through Qin Xuelin. Qin Xuelin was the one who was in charge of the overall situation.

Qin Xuelin ignored Nan Yue's shouting and slowly helped the emperor lie down. After all, the poison had already penetrated into his bones. Even with Lu Yanluo's pills, it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. The emperor's body had already collapsed. Qin Xuelin discovered that in just a short while, the emperor's inner clothes were thoroughly soaked.

Qin Xuelin patiently took out a brand new set of inner clothes and carefully helped the emperor to put them on. After everything was settled, she had someone take Nan Yue away from the Taiji Hall.

After leaving the Taiji Hall, Nan Yue realized that it was pitch black outside the hall. Apart from a few guards around her, there was no one around.

I guess that person had already been sent away by Qin Xuelin.

"I don't understand." Nan Yue asked persistently, "He has no feelings for you, why are you still so nice to him? And why are you helping him frame me?"

Qin Xuelin walked ahead without looking away. Upon hearing this, she slightly side-glanced at Nan Yue and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have no feelings for you, but I have an irreconcilable hatred for you."

After many days, Qin Xuelin was finally able to talk about the innocent child who died openly.

"When we first met, you pushed me into the water without telling me the reason. Did you know that I was pregnant at the time? Because of your whim, the child is gone. And you relied on the emperor's love for you to shirk responsibility. His Majesty was blinded by lust and let this matter go."

When talking about the miscarriage, Qin Xuelin's calm eyes changed, becoming sharp and cold, which made Nan Yue feel scared.

"Do you still remember this place?" Qin Xuelin said coldly, "This is where I was pushed into the water. My child died here in vain. As a mother, I will never let the murderer of my child go. His father can pretend that nothing happened, but I can't. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"

So today she was dressed in plain clothes and without any makeup, in order to pray for the salvation of her child and to avenge him.

Nan Yue tried to break free from the guards' restraints, but he refused to move at all, so she had to give up.

"Do you think you can live if you kill me? The emperor is no longer alive. Kong Chenyang controls the cabinet. Even if the emperor is alive, he cannot be shaken. The one who will inherit the throne in the future will definitely be King Liang. My aunt will never let you go then. If you don't kill me today, I can promise you that when King Liang succeeds to the throne, I can send you out of the palace. You can come and go as you please in the future. How do you think?"

Nan Yue tried her best to ask Qin Xuelin to let her go, but she underestimated a mother's determination to avenge her child.

Qin Xuelin sneered, pointed at the lake and said, "Do you want to jump in by yourself, or should I give you a ride?"

"No!" Nan Yue struggled: "You can't kill me! You are not qualified to kill me! I am the queen, why do you punish me lynched! Let me go!"

Seeing that Nan Yue refused to repent, Qin Xuelin's patience ran out, and she ordered the guards around her, "Throw this man in and drown him."

The guards were extremely agile and in order not to disturb the noble, they blocked Nan Yue's mouth, tied up her limbs and threw her directly into the water.

With endless resentment and hatred, Nan Yue sank and floated in the lake several times, and finally floated on the water and died.
