Bai Mowan’s expression darkened.
How could soone like Xiao Jinsen, who is utterly unforgivable and seeks power for its own sake, fall in love with anyone?!
Surely she was overthinking!
Yet, it seems she couldn’t quite accept this reality.
She couldn’t accept that Xiao Jinsen was only using her, while he had feelings for soone else.
She would rather believe that Xiao Jinsen was rely using anyone he could.
Even with his past favor towards Xie Zhiyao, she didn’t believe it was because he liked her – it was rely because Xie Zhiyao could satisfy his physical needs.
Bai Mowan did not leave the Imperial Palace right away.
She went to the imperial dungeon where the royal family and nobles were imprisoned.
She went to see Empress Yu Qingyuan.
At this mont, Yu Qingyuan was disheveled, wearing white, her forr dignity and elegance as Empress unrecognizable within these walls. The woman now looked like a spiritless convict, devoid of her past luster.
"Empress," Bai Mowan called out to her.
Yu Qingyuan looked up at Bai Mowan.
After a day and night of tornt, she had lost all her sharpness.
Her gaze at Bai Mowan was indifferent.
She was sowhat surprised to see Bai Mowan as her visitor.
One would have thought Zhao ngyu, who hated her the most, would be the one to tornt her.
But of course, none of that mattered now.
As for her, she had lost everything.
Power, her son, glory...
She was but a walking corpse, rely waiting for the Emperor to order her execution.
"You all leave first," Bai Mowan ordered the prison guards as the doors of the large prison were opened.
The prison guards promptly departed.
They knew of General Bai’s contributions in saving the Emperor yesterday and naturally did not dare to offend her.
Now, only Yu Qingyuan and Bai Mowan were left in the cell.
Bai Mowan looked coldly at Yu Qingyuan and asked, "How does the Empress feel now?"
"Bai Mowan, don’t tell you’re still Zhao ngyu’s person!" Yu Qingyuan scoffed sardonically, convinced that Bai Mowan was sent by Zhao ngyu.
"Her Majesty worries too much. I do not belong to anyone."
"Then what are you doing here?!" Yu Qingyuan believed she had no grudge with Bai Mowan.
She wouldn’t have co here out of kindness.
Nor was it likely for her to co to insult her at this ti.
"I ca to tell Her Majesty so truths, so that she can die with clarity."
Yu Qingyuan’s face turned uglier than ever.
She knew full well that the words Bai Mowan was about to speak would not be pleasant ones.
"Do you really believe that the Crown Prince was killed by the King of Chu?" Bai Mowan went straight to the point.
"Wasn’t he?!" Yu Qingyuan retorted fiercely, unable to contain her emotions when speaking of the Crown Prince.
"No," Bai Mowan said, "I killed him."
"Bai Mowan!" Yu Qingyuan couldn’t believe it; her pupils dilated with a rage almost enough to murder Bai Mowan.
"Killing the Crown Prince and framing it on the King of Chu. Do you think this move was clever?"
"Bai Mowan! Bai Mowan! We have no grievances; why would you do this to !"
"No grievances?!" Bai Mowan mocked coldly.
In her previous life.
To get the Crown Prince to possess her, Yu Qingyuan really defiled her body.
Luckily, Xiao Jinxing killed the Crown Prince in ti, and the bla was pinned on Xiao Jinsen, preventing the news of her defilent from spreading. Xiao Jinsen never knew she had been desecrated by the Crown Prince, as Xiao Jinxing kept this secret tightly sealed.
Later, when she married Xiao Jinsen and they had their wedding night, Xiao Jinxing also secretly drugged Xiao Jinsen to make him groggy, so he rembered nothing of that night. Upon waking up, seeing the bloodstains on the bed, he had no reason to suspect her.
But the fact that the Crown Prince defiled her was etched in her mory forever, a lifeti of sha. Even in a new life, even though the Crown Prince died by Xiao Jinxing’s sword in her previous life, she could not forget all the sufferings of that day. Now, she was intent on revenge, on unleashing the anger pent up over two lifetis.
"Empress, would the Crown Prince have died if you hadn’t wanted him to defile ?" Bai Mowan challenged.
Yu Qingyuan glared in fury.
It was Bai Mowan.
It was Bai Mowan who killed her Crown Prince.
She wanted to kill Bai Mowan, to exact life for life.
"Empress, it’s all your fault that the Crown Prince is dead! The predicant you’re in now is due to your own folly!" Bai Mowan spat venomously, venting all her anger, "You deserve this fate, the eradication of your entire clan!"
"Enough, Bai Mowan, shut your mouth!" Yu Qingyuan roared.
"This is retribution!" Bai Mowan declared harshly, "Good and evil will be repaid, and the ti has co!"
With that, Bai Mowan turned and left.
"Bai Mowan, you will not die a good death!" Yu Qingyuan scread curses after Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan paused, letting out a cold laugh.
"Even if that’s true, you won’t be around to see it!"
And with that, Bai Mowan left.
She left the dungeon with detachnt.
She had killed the Crown Prince and taken her revenge on the Empress.
And there were many more... one by one, she would not let any of them off the hook!
