In the sultry summer, a heat wave rose in the Cold Palace.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the palace! Let's run away!" The maid Xia Mang stumbled into the Cold Palace. She grabbed s.h.i.+ Qingxue, the deposed empress, and tried to run outside.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was still wearing a red dress, looking calm and even a little aloof, with a touch of self-mockery on the corner of her mouth, "The s.h.i.+ Family is long gone. Where can I escape?"

Xia Mang became speechless, and after a long while she reluctantly said, "There will always be hope as long as you are alive."

However, s.h.i.+ Qingxue sneered, "Mo Junyang has former enmity with me, and now he fights into the palace. Even if my force declines, there is no reason for cowardly escape!"

As she was saying, Mo Junyang, King Rui's eldest son, walked into the Cold Palace with vigorous strides. With the military uniform of Great Mo Dynasty stained with blood, the man looked like a demon from h.e.l.l and made people scared just at a glance.

Mo Junyang kept his eyes on s.h.i.+ Qingxue as if he was about to pierce her.

But s.h.i.+ Qingxue had a calm look. She was no longer the former proud Sixth Lady of the s.h.i.+ Family, who was ignorant of worldly affairs.

She was clear in her heart.

When she was young, Mo Junyang was a hostage in the palace, and she had insulted him many times.

Her guilt didn't help and she deserved his revenge.

She wasn't afraid. She just looked at Mo Junyang and asked what she most wanted to know at present, "Where is Mo Junhao?"

Mo Junhao, Emperor Hao, the former husband of s.h.i.+ Qingxue, and the jerk who destroyed her family, abandoned her and left her out in the Cold Palace after he ascended the throne.

Mo Junyang just closed his lips lightly and kept his look cold. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Dead."

At the end, it seemed that this was not enough to make s.h.i.+ Qingxue sad, and he added, "He was beheaded by my sword. His head and body were separated."

s.h.i.+ Qingxue lowered her eyes. But instead of showing sadness, there was even a smile at the corner of her mouth, and she was very satisfied with the result.

She didn't care about the staring sights around her, and looked at Mo Junyang calmly. The pride engraved in her bones made her unable to say any apologies or flattering words.

She smiled at the corner of her mouth, figuratively, as if everything had settled.

She said indifferently, "That being the case, then you..."

Mo Junyang stared at s.h.i.+ Qingxue with a gloom look. At this moment, he interrupted her suddenly, "Are you asking me for mercy?"

The straightforward questioning and the surrounding ridicule made s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face pale for a while.

She had heard that King Rui's eldest son was vicious and revengeful, and in the past few months, everyone who had offended him had been retaliated in the cruelest way.

And his revenge on her was to break all her pride.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue sneered, "What do you want me to apologize for? Having insulted you at the young age? Or the hostility when we are on different sides?"

It was not a big deal that she was arrogant when she was young and inexperienced. Besides, the identification of Mo Junyang as a b.a.s.t.a.r.d was lowly. So why should she take care of his emotions?

Needless to say that who won the battle between different parties would be the king, and the losers would be ruined!

Her look gradually calmed down, but she told Mo Junyang calmly and surely, "You know that's impossible!"

She regretted that she was in love with the sc.u.mbag, but all she had done was open and straightforward. Maybe sometimes in inappropriate ways, but she wouldn't regret it, and she couldn't apologize.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Mo Junyang got closer to her. He almost stood right in front of s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face.

He met her eyes, and the breath was almost intimidating, but no one was willing to lower head first.

Instead, the guard behind Mo Junyang couldn't retain his composure, and yelled, "Master, why are you still talking to her? Just kill her..."

Before the guard finished, Mo Junyang looked back with a cold stare and he dared not to say anything else.

At this moment, Xia Mang's exclamation caught everyone's attention.

The crowd looked up and saw s.h.i.+ Qingxue, who had been standing still, suddenly fell down softly.

Mo Junyang quickly held the soft body, but what he saw in front of him astonished him.

The crowd unexpectedly saw panic in the eyes of this cold-blooded and ruthless demon. But it only lasted for a second. Then they heard him yelling gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, "What did you do?"

The poison had already attacked her, and s.h.i.+ Qingxue lost the energy. She could only lean on Mo Junyang's arms softly, and the red blood constantly overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at Mo Junyang with her phoenix-liked eyes, and there seemed to be a puzzle in her weak voice.

"Why are you so sad? I have offended you, and now I am about to die. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Mo Junyang's face looked so cold that it could freeze, "I don't permit you to die. If you dare to die, I will bury the whole s.h.i.+ Family with you! I will also destroy all your close ones! Do you hear me? You are not allowed to die!"

The cold and domineering tone made s.h.i.+ Qingxue surprised, and then she smiled bitterly, "The people close to me...are gone... They're gone..."

She spoke on and off. And the miserable smile on her face gradually became shattered.

Before she died, she suddenly realized that her life shouldn't have been so bleak, and her parents who loved her shouldn't have died so tragically!

Just because she was young and innocent, and mistrusted and loved an evil person, everyone who loved her was hurt.

It would be nice if everything could start over.
