Qin Meiying looked at Hu Qianyu in front of her quietly, without any change in expression.
Qin Kou'er stood beside her, her face cold.
After a long silence, Qin Meiying said softly, "Isn't her current appearance her true self?"
Qin Kou'er gave a cold laugh and stared at Hu Qianyu, saying coldly, "She is the way everyone wants her to be now!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er slowly walked over, raised her hand and pressed an acupoint on Hu Qianyu to wake her up. Then she reached out and put Hu Qianyu's chin back in place, and then stuffed a pill into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it.
Before Qin Meiying finished speaking, she would absolutely not allow Hu Qianyu to die.
Hu Qianyu finally slowly opened her eyes again, but when she saw Qin Meiying in front of her, she was so frightened that she almost fainted again, leaning back in fear.
To prevent Hu Qianyu from fainting again, Qin Kou'er immediately reached out and pinched her chin, then suddenly brought her own face close to hers.
"Hu Qianyu! If you dare to faint, I'll kill Lan Xiuyuan right now! Don't try to outlast me!"
Hu Qianyu finally slowly shifted her gaze to Qin Kou'er's face, then suddenly grabbed her sleeve, pointing at Qin Meiying and babbling incoherently, refusing to let go of Qin Kou'er's sleeve no matter what.
"Hu Qianyu, why are you so scared when you see me?"
Qin Meiying spoke softly, smiled slightly at Hu Qianyu, then walked up to her and gently took her hand. "Don't be afraid! I just want to have a good talk with you! There are some things I still can't understand! I think it's best if we can clarify some things before we die!"
Qin Meiying's hands were warm. She held Hu Qianyu's cold hands and slowly moved her hands back from Qin Kou'er's body.
Qin Kou'er simply stared coldly at Hu Qianyu and took a step back.
This wasn't the time for her to speak; Qin Meiying had more to say to Hu Qianyu.
Hu Qianyu finally stiffened and turned her gaze back to Qin Meiying, her eyes wide as if they were about to pop out, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
The evil spirit has finally come for her!
She's about to go to hell to pay for everything she's done over the years.
Qin Meiying smiled gently as she sat down next to Hu Qianyu, released her hand, and gazed at her with a smile, saying, "You didn't expect this, did you? To see my face again after thirteen years? Actually, I didn't expect it either."
Qin Meiying sighed, "I thought it would be at least fifteen years before we met again. I just didn't expect you to be so impatient, putting yourself in the cold palace so soon!"
At this point, Qin Meiying glanced around and surprisingly revealed a relaxed expression: "This Cold Palace is actually not bad, at least much better than what I was in the raging fire! Do you know what it feels like to be burned?"
Hu Qianyu looked at Qin Meiying, and finally a string of terrified tears fell down her face. Then she spoke in a hoarse voice: "Are you an evil spirit? Do you want to take me to purgatory?"
Hearing this, Qin Meiying smiled even more charmingly: "Do you need me to take you to purgatory? Haven't you been in purgatory for the past thirteen years since I died? Wasn't the way the Emperor treated you enough to make you feel like you were in purgatory? Besides, your current situation is probably worse than purgatory, isn't it?"
After saying that, Qin Meiying gently patted Hu Qianyu's hand again: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to take your life! I just want to talk to you!"
Hu Qianyu simply couldn't believe that the person who had been dead for so many years wasn't a vengeful ghost, but someone who had come to talk to her.
Qin Kou'er saw that Hu Qianyu's eyes were still filled with the same fear as if she had seen a ghost, so she frowned and walked over, pulling Hu Qianyu's face towards her: "Wake up! The Empress is not a ghost, but you look more like one! Also, even if the Empress is a vengeful ghost that you killed, I am still a human! I'm here, so you'd better show some spirit and speak properly! Otherwise, if you anger me, my methods will be many times more ruthless than those of Xu Jinlan and her ilk!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er tossed Hu Qianyu's head away again; she really couldn't be bothered to talk to a woman like that.
After hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Hu Qianyu seemed to understand a little, but she also seemed more confused. She turned to look at Qin Meiying, then at Qin Kou'er. Suddenly, she shouted at Qin Meiying, "You're not dead?!"
Qin Meiying smiled slightly, her eyelids lowered slightly, and she fiddled with the embroidery on her cuffs before raising her head to look at Qin Meiying again: "Am I disappointing you because I didn't die? I'm disappointing many people too?"
Hu Qianyu felt as if her heart had been struck by a tsunami, and murmured, "How could you not be dead? How come you're still alive?"
She stared at Qin Meiying in disbelief. "I watched you burn to death in the flames! I watched you die with your whole body engulfed in flames! How could you not be dead?"
Qin Meiying suddenly burst into laughter, her voice filled with an inescapable pain, mockery, and hatred.
Hu Qianyu dared not speak. She felt as if she were in a huge trap, slowly sinking.
"Back then, Qin Meiying was forced to her death in flames by people like you. You were all watching, all waiting for me to die! But I didn't die. Now it's my turn to come back and watch you all die!"
As she spoke, Qin Meiying's eyes suddenly turned indescribably cold and filled with hatred. She slowly approached Hu Qianyu: "Hu Qianyu, I've never wronged you in any way! Yet you still want me dead. I can understand that your Hu family covets our Qin family! But you! Have you ever thought that if it weren't for me, you would never have been able to marry the Emperor! If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago when you were pregnant! But how did you treat me? How did you treat my Xue'er! I thought that if I died, out of consideration for our past relationship, at least my Xue'er could live a better life! But I never expected that the number of times you've killed him over the years is countless. Your ruthlessness is even more vicious than Hu Tianyong's! I ask you, is the position of Crown Prince so important that it makes you unworthy of being a human being!"
