Xu Jiaojiao arrogantly kicked me to my knees and laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, Pei Qi, turns out, you are not capable as I had imagined! Cui Fuling, should I call you Cui Fuling, or Chen Suniang?" The name I hadn't heard in years made my heart tremble, but the envoy from Qianyue Kingdom was too preoccupied to pay attention to her madness.

　　He looked down at me and said, "Lady Rongfei, we already know about your affairs.

　　Your husband, Gu Xing, was indirectly killed by the Great Sheng Emperor.

　　Although he defended the city gate, wasn't he ultimately handed over to the Great Sheng Emperor by you? You resented him, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

　　Furthermore, I heard that the Great Sheng Emperor's health has been deteriorating in recent years." I remained expressionless and asked, "What do you want to do?" The envoy countered, "How can grudges be resolved with cautious provocation? Shouldn't he be prevented from having descendants?" I lifted my gaze and looked at Xu Jiaojiao beside us, saying, "Are you willing? Don't you love him deeply?" "Shut up!" Xu Jiaojiao's face twisted in anger.

　　"Don't mention him to me! It's all lies! All lies! A lifetime together, committed to each other! But in the end, he lies in another woman's arms, even after exchanging an entire city for her! And you say he's an emperor, so it should be expected.

　　How ridiculous!" "The cruelest thing in this world is to deceive someone's heart! I used to love him, but what about him? He sent me under house arrest for two years because of a servant girl's child! Two years! The rough food and clothes nearly drove me insane! I want to kill him! I want him dead!" Her hatred was too intense, just like her love.

　　But it's all the same, as long as it's hatred.

　　I replied to her, "As you wish." I didn't linger with her for long.

　　I quietly left with the poison in my hand, because I'm busy, and someone is waiting for me.

　　Just like now.

　　I looked at the Empress standing in front of Qingyun Hall, her expression heavy.

　　She spoke first, "The Dowager Empress wants to see you." I nodded.

　　Everyone dispersed, and I walked into the hall.

　　The woman with white hair and wrinkled face calmly observed me.

　　"Chen Suniang." "I am here, Your Majesty." "The Dowager thought you were a peaceful person, but it turns out there is more to you.

　　In that case, you must have long known that it was I who arranged the miscarriage incident." I chuckled softly, "The Dowager Empress's strategy was truly shrewd." By undermining the arrogant concubine and getting rid of an illegitimate child from a servant girl, she also enabled the Empress to give birth to the legitimate eldest son.

　　Isn't that a brilliant strategy? As for the Empress, it's likely she just followed orders and acted accordingly.

　　"But you didn't retaliate against the Empress, nor against me.

　　"So you want to harm me! Haven't I been good enough to you? I've given you countless treasures and granted every request you've made! And yet, you dare deceive me!"
