That woman, with her bloodstained hands, was actually very lucky
Because she had Epsilon
Meng Fuyao sighed and turned to leave Epsilon looked up suddenly and smiled at her
“Thank you,” he said
Meng Fuyao froze and then witnessed Epsilon quietly collapse
He died
Without any warning, the fourth in the Top Ten, the renowned Epsilon, had chosen to end his life after personally ending the life of his lover
Perhaps he cut his own meridians, or perhaps, it was just the end of his natural life span He had spent the latter half of his life living for her Her death would mean the end of his purpose
The last sentence he had said in his lifeti Fuyao, the perpetrator that had destroyed his reputation completely
To thank her for fulfilling his dreams
He had stayed by the E her for himself But when he had finally done so, he had finally felt that his life had not been in vain
A lifetilory and admiration from others could not hold a candle to this final and last brilliance
As Meng Fuyao ca Fuyao ordered her subordinates to cre to the will the Epsilon had left behind
At the entrance, she sun Wuji in order to take control over Tenth Princess' 3,000 guards Zhangsun Wuji had a discussion with hi as to what had gone on in the discussion, Tang Yi's actions today explained everything
When he heard of Xuanji E the news that she was to be creround
“Are you crazy?! Aren't you sha the Xuanji imperial family? She is, after all, still the Empress! She will be buried in the mausoleum!”
“I have already sha another one,” Meng Fuyao replied casually
“But… But you can't cre stuttered “Won't it be fulfilling her… wishes?”
“You're wrong,” Meng Fuyao said cal Epsilon's wishes, not hers For a woman like her, her dream is to be buried in the mausoleum after her death, to enjoy the prayers of her royal descendants for eternity Then, I will do the exact opposite”
Beside her, Zong Yue, who had been silent ever since Xuanji Ehtly
Meng Fuyao noticed but did not say anything Instead, she turned to Tang Yi Zhong and said, “It is high ti, please make your choice It is either you lend me your army of 100,000 soldiers to help me settle the issue, or I use Da Han's army to settle the issue Your choice”
“What else is there to say” Tang Yi Zhong shrugged “I will listen to whoever has the Imperial Jade Seal”
“Oh?” Meng Fuyao gave hilance “What about the imperial edict?”
“Ihed ” The seal hasn't be placed on the imperial edict!”
“Very well then, let's go,” Meng Fuyao said simply and left on her horse She did not bother to check if the two followed along
Her not chasing the step forward The tould not mind her attitude
From Tenth Princess' o by the northern palace To enter from that door, they would first have to pass by the northwest corner of the palace
Meng Fuyao headed straight for the palace's main hall But suddenly, she stopped at a crossroads
She tilted her head and looked towards the direction with a cluster of short trees
Behind that thicket, was a wall that was sealed up Behind that wall, it contained the memories of palace life
Meng Fuyao stood there and suddenly recalled the experience of finding out this palace The realization hit her, and then she turned to ask, “Zhangsun Wuji, that night, the black figure that guided us here, was it arranged by you?”
Behind her, Zhangsun Wuji nodded “Yes”
Meng Fuyao laughed 'He wanted to kno ed sun Wuji, a man who has been decisive all his life, was so conflicted over this…'
She sighed and decided to pry the bushes apart, walking straight through
Zhangsun Wuji followed suit, but Zong Yue stood frozen outside
Zhangsun Wuji turned back and glanced at his that become more painful the more you hide it To treat the root of the illness or to let it slowly kill you, you decide for yourself” Zhangsun Wuji told him
Zong Yue closed his eyes, and then quietly made his way across the thicket
Meng Fuyao had already strode over the wall, pushed open the doors and made her way into the floor covered in dust One could still spot footsteps that were left by them the other day
The last footprint was right outside the tiny room, underneath theShe saw the cupboard from the corner of her eyes and immediately blocked out her memories
Meng Fuyao walked over Her footsteps overlapped with the footprints made that day She stood calmly in front of theand then made her way into the room
She saw the cupboard at first glance
A black, aged cupboard stood there, with 14 years worth of dust piling upon it
The cupboard was half-covered by a curtain, the exact replica of Old Lu's second painting
Meng Fuyao squatted down in front of the cupboard The lock on the cupboard was long gone as the cupboard door hung loosely on its hinges, half-opened A crack ran through the roof of the cupboard, and inside, there were pieces of cloth and black cotton wadding These werestench
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly turned away
Zong Yue leaned against the extremely filthy door frame covered in dust and cobwebs But yet, he hihts
Meng Fuyao suddenly wedged herself into the cupboard
She cra her bones into the size of a child She gently closed the door fros from a silt in the cupboard door
She stared at the bed
Zhangsun Wuji stumbled a little He paused and then took a step forward as if he wanted to pull her out of that place He reached his hand out but somehow, he dropped it down to his side silently
Zong Yue's face was getting paler by the second He leaned against the door fraht on that frail, brittle structure
Meng Fuyao looked at the bed
The candle was lit, flickering vulnerably in the wind
Meng Fuyao started recalling…
She waited for her mother in the cupboard Old Lu had already scurried away Just as he was touching her, she suddenly re down his finger with all her ht Old Lu shrieked and darted away to find hie
Then, she could hear a racket froroup of people rushed in Every part of the roos paced around in front of her The roo ornaments as a lady strolled in
A luxurious, golden-red dress brushed past the floor As if afraid that the floor would conta dress, two maids held the bottom of the dress up with their back hunched over
That dress stopped in front of the cupboard She hugged her knees tighter, afraid that this cupboard would be opened for the third time today But instead, the owner of the dress snorted coldly and turned over
Then, a piercing, sharp voice could be heard “Bring Xu Wan that bitch here!”
Her eyes widened in fear She could hear the muffled cries for help It was the voice that she was very familiar with It was the voice of her ht It was a voice she could recognize even if she only heard it for a split second
But she could not see her feet Those cloth shoes that were ed to the eunuchs
Then, she heard the sound of so thrown on the bed “Strip this bitch! Let me see what body did she use to seduce the emperor!” a woman shrilled
A fabric, she closed her eyes and bit her lip
Suddenly, the air seemed to bewater over, acco of metallic items
“With this body?” That wohed sinisterly “I wonder if I were to strip you of your skin, leaving nothing but white bones, would you still be able to seduce His Majesty?”
Whoosh!+
The sound of hot water being splashed seemed to burn her heart She trembled In the warle on the bed intensified as the ot louder and louder Yet, that wo “Remove the cloth in her mouth I want to hear this bitch cry I wonder if she cried the same way in bed?”
Once the cloth was rely shaking the whole palace to its core
“Cohly!” that woman ordered viciously “Let this shaood look at her rotten meat!”
“Vicious woman—” Xu Wan spat Her body was colared at that woman and cursed, “You will die in shame one day!”
“Oh? Unfortunately for you, you cannot let hed coldly Suddenly, she turned her head and said, “Such an interesting sho can we not let the most important audience see it? Here, crack open the top part of the cupboard”
With a flash, a crack opened on the cupboard, giving her full view of the situation
Meng Fuyao shi+vered
What's on the bed…
A pool of blood… A bundle oflanded on the skin… Bringing with it pieces ofthe entire rains of the wood… Xu Wan's miserable shrieks that told of her intense pain…
Groo… The cruelest torture method, one that she had heard of in her previous life, was happening to the woman that protected her for the past five years!
And she was in that dark corner, witnessing everything that happened!
She squatted in that cupboard, leaning against the cold wood It was as though she was leaning against an icy mountain that was so cold, so cold In that darkness, blood and h her intestines were being torn apart into many pieces…
“Ah… Look at the ti for me” In that dimly lit room, the women with a headful of jewelry adorned turned and looked in the direction of the cupboard, unhappy that she could not continue
A handso man in white, pure and untainted, was initially blocked by the woman He walked over and politely bowed “Aunty, leave it to me”
“Mhm” The Xuanji Empress patted his back “Don't let that woood taste of what it is to seduce et to the root of it”
