However, Feng Qianhuan felt pretty good about Gu Wanbai's candid nature.

If she had stayed by her parents' side all these years, she might have become as candid and lively as Gu Wanbai.

Unfortunately...

She had cast her physical body aside to save her mother and her soul had transitioned into this mainland. Her soul had then strayed across this mainland for many years before finding a body that she could reincarnate into.

As the years passed, she had seen all sorts of people and understood that she would only be able to escape being bullied by others when she has obtained absolute power!

She was no longer the pampered little girl who had hidden in her mother's arms!

"Concubine Liu."

Feng Qianhuan seemed to remember something and turned her blood-red eyes slowly towards Concubine Liu who was still hiding in a corner. Her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she asked.

"Why did you poison Chen'er?"

Concubine Liu was shaken as she took several steps back. She then bit her lip and replied, "I've long disliked you little sl*ts so I wanted Zuo Chen dead!"

Feng Qianhuan narrowed her eyes as murderous intent flashed across them. She then slowly approached Concubine Liu as a cold sneer formed on her face.

"Since you've committed such a crime, you shall have to pay for it!"

Boom!

Feng Qianhuan's hand landed violently on Concubine Liu's body. Concubine Liu was immediately sent flying out of the way before she landed forcefully against a wall.

The color drained from Concubine Liu's face as she stared at Feng Qianhuan in shock.

Feng Qianhuan reappeared in front of Concubine Liu and grasped her arm firmly. She then tore Concubine Liu's arm off with a single movement.

"ARGH!"

Concubine Liu screamed sharply and nearly fainted from the immense pain. Bright red blood gushed from the stump of her arm and formed a ghastly sight...

Feng Qianhuan's eyes were cold and distant. There was a bloodthirsty glint in her scarlet eyes as if she does not regard Concubine Liu with any importance at all.

Crack!

She then stomped forcefully upon Concubine Liu's other wrist. Concubine Liu, who had fainted, regained consciousness because of the fresh pain in her other arm. Her eyes finally displayed a sense of terror as she crawled backwards continuously.

"I know I've made a mistake. Spare me, I beg you to spare me..."

Feng Qianhuan laughed icily. "When you had poisoned Zuo Chen, did you ever think that you would end up like this? Spare you? Should I spare you so that you can continue to hurt others?"

Concubine Liu ignored the pain in her severed arm as she knelt before Feng Qianhuan and violently kowtowed in front of her.

In the beginning, she had put on airs in front of Feng Qianhuan because she had believed that Feng Qianhuan could not possibly do anything to her.

However, she never expected this woman to be so heartless and drive her into a corner.

If Concubine Liu had known that this would happen, perhaps she would not have needed to suffer such a punishment...

"So, do you know what your mistake was?" Feng Qianhuan stared coldly at the kneeling Concubine Liu. She then raised the corners of her lips into a disdainful angle. "Unfortunately, it's too late for you! I've tolerated you for far too long during these years! If it had not been for Chen'er, I would have toppled the entire Vermillion Bird Country long ago!"

Even though Feng Qianhuan was unpopular in the Imperial household, the Emperor usually treated Zuo Chen quite well! However, Feng Qianhuan knows very well that a selfish man like him would never truly love someone. Be it a son or a daughter, he could casually toss them aside like a pair of worn out old shoes for his own sake!
