The snow was white and the winter wind was strong.
Under the cold wind, the first Empress of the Great Zhou, Shen Liangchen, wore a phoenix crown and a snow-colored light fur coat. She stood quietly in the bleak courtyard of the Cold Cloud Palace. She looked up at the towering nine-layered palace in front of her, her eyes dark and distant.
"Hey, what is big sister looking at?”
Suddenly, a charming and proud voice broke the silence and brought Shen Liangchen back to his senses.
Shen Liangchen turned around slightly and saw the woman who called her sister. She was dressed in a red palace dress, her hair was high, and she had a phoenix pearl hairpin on her head. She looked like the queen of the main palace. Shen Liangchen laughed mockingly and said,"Now that the Wu Kingdom has fallen, the Chen family is only left with you and me, but Third Sister is dressed in red…It seems that you can't wait to replace me as the Empress of the Great Zhou!”
Shen Liangchen was the princess of the previous dynasty.
The woman she called Third Younger Sister was the Third Princess of a concubine from the previous dynasty, Shen Xieyi, who used to flatter her.
However…
This Shen Xieyi princess actually had an affair with Shen Liangchen's son-in-law, who was also the new emperor Murong Rui!
Now, the Wu Country had fallen and the Zhou Country was flourishing.
When Murong Rui ascended the throne, Shen Xieyi was dressed in red and appeared in front of Shen Liangchen. His intention was clear!
Shen Xieyi saw the mocking smile on Shen Liangchen's lips and his face turned cold,""If big sister is sensible, she should obediently make way for little sister!”
"Don't worry! When I think about how I will be buried with that man who stole the Wu Kingdom and you, I feel disgusted!”
Shen Liangchen stared at Shen Xieyi, who had a smug look on his face. Seeing that Shen Xieyi's face was gradually becoming angry because of her words, she suddenly took out the Ruyi hairpin on her hair bun. Her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to stab the hairpin into Shen Xieyi's chest with lightning speed."I will give way to you, but what you want to take is the path to the netherworld!”
Shen Liangchen's actions were clean and neat, without any sloppiness!
Shen Xieyi lowered her head and watched the red blood stain spread from her chest. She opened her mouth wide, but before she could scream, she felt a sharp pain. As Shen Liangchen pulled out the hairpin, she fell to the ground like a lifeless doll and kept twitching…
Amidst the screams of the palace maids, Shen Liangchen put the Wishful Hairpin back into his bun with a cold expression and walked forward.
Her Ruyi hairpin was laced with a deadly poison that would cut her throat at the sight of blood!
She was not worried at all that after forgetting the hatred of the country and family, and throwing away the pride and self-esteem of the princess, Shen Xieyi, who looked like a villain who had achieved success, would not be able to die!
The Cold Cloud Palace was located at the highest point of the palace. It was like an isolated island with courtyards in front and back, as well as a balcony with a vast view!
A moment later, Shen Liangchen was standing on the balcony.
He raised his head slightly and stood against the wind. Looking at the gray sky not far away, Shen Liangchen suddenly felt lonely at the top.
Rumor had it that there used to be an extremely favored empress who lived here. Because this empress liked to climb high and look into the distance, the king of that generation specially built a terrace for her by the mountains and rivers. However, one day, the Empress lost her footing and fell off the balcony. From then on, the Cold Cloud Palace was abandoned and became a cold palace!
As for whether it was a mistake or something else?
Then no one would know.
However, Shen Liangchen knew that it would not be long before she fell from here. She would not lose her footing!
In the wind and snow, her movements of looking down were as smooth as flowing water. Her face, which was clean and peerless, and which made people fall head over heels for her, was also calm.
Beneath the cliff, as far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white.
Snow, pure white.
However, the snow in Shen Liangchen's eyes was scarlet and glaring, and it broke her heart.
Shen Liangchen remembered it clearly.
It was raining heavily that day.
No matter how much she begged, that man would not let go of her mother!
After the massacre, the blood of the entire Shen family, along with the rain, almost dyed half of the capital red!
"Shen Liangchen!"
Soon, Murong Rui appeared on the balcony in his bright yellow dragon robe. He was panting and shouting Shen Liangchen's name in exasperation,""How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Shen Liangchen turned around leisurely and looked at the handsome man in a bright yellow dragon robe not far away. He laughed self-mockingly and said in an ethereal voice," Now, I have even killed your most beloved Imperial Concubine. What else would I not dare to do?" Murong Rui, you've already used me, slaughtered my city, and destroyed my country. Now, I'm going to leave with the most shameless Shen Xieyi of the Shen family. You…can't stop me!”
Murong Rui looked at Shen Liangchen from afar and said indignantly," The Emperor of Wu is cruel and the people are in dire straits. I'm just following the will of heaven!”
Shen Liangchen glared at Murong Rui and questioned him sternly,""The Emperor of Wu is cruel. Could it be that the Prince Regent of Wu is also cruel and heartless?”
Murong Rui's tone was stifled by Shen Liangchen's question, and he suddenly changed the topic," I know that I have hurt your heart, but Liangchen, don't forget who caused you to end up in a brothel. Who made you carry the word 'vile spawn' on your back? Don't you hate him so much that you want to kill him? I'm just fulfilling your wish! I've been so good to you…"
Shen Liangchen looked at the man whom he had once loved deeply but now hated to the core. He suddenly sneered,""Murong Rui, do you dare to say that the reason you treat me so well isn't because of that saying,'He who gets the good fortune gets the world'?”
Murong Rui slowly stepped forward." A good time. The saying 'those who have a good time will rule the world' was said by Master Mercy when you returned to the palace that year. However, you and I met…in Wei Shi!”
Shen Liangchen couldn't help but take a step back.""Murong Rui, actually, you've already fallen in love with someone else. Otherwise, the Third Princess wouldn't have become your woman…"
" Liangchen..." Murong Rui stared at Shen Liangchen and stretched out his hand,""Liangchen, this one and the Third Princess are just a temporary measure…Trust this one!”
Shen Liangchen frowned and couldn't help but smile.
When Murong Rui saw Shen Liangchen smile, he could not help but feel relieved. However, Shen Liangchen's expression suddenly changed. He drew a soft sword from his waist and aimed it at his vitals!
Murong Rui didn't expect Shen Liangchen to have such a killer move. He was shocked, but he couldn't dodge in time and the soft sword swept across his chest!
"Shen Liangchen!"
Murong Rui lowered his eyes and looked at the wound on his chest that was bleeding non-stop. He could not help but shout in anger!
"What's wrong? Are you angry from embarrassment?"
When Murong Rui heard this, he reached out to touch his wound. Seeing that his fingertips were covered in black blood, he glared at Shen Liangchen fiercely!
Shen Liangchen looked at the hypocritical man in front of him who was no longer as modest as a gentleman. His eyes turned cold and he looked at him with disdain. He turned around resolutely and took another step forward."Murong Rui! I will wait for you to die a horrible death in the netherworld!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and jumped off the high platform!
"No-"
Murong Rui watched as Shen Liangchen leaped up. His eyes were filled with anger as he took a step forward, but he did not grab onto anything!
The cold wind whistled by his ears.
It hurt!
It hurts!
But after the pain, he felt an unprecedented relief.
Among them, there was her mother who loved her since she was young but wanted to strangle her to death later, there was her younger sister who hated her to the bone and schemed against her in every way, there was the Empress who bullied her and lost her orphan, and there was also the only person who could send her to the netherworld and was also the only person that she felt indebted to, her father who was conscientious and conscientious for the Shen family's dynasty…
She hated him so much!
She hated herself even more. From the beginning to the end, she had never called this stalwart man who was filled with guilt towards her, but had never said it out loud. She had only used her actions to make it up to him-father!
Blood gushed out from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Her nose was filled with the thick smell of blood. Her lips trembled. Over and over again, after countless times, she finally muttered the word 'father' that she had suppressed in her heart for many years.
"Father…"
As blood and tears mixed, the blurry image in front of her slowly faded away. In its place was an unfamiliar face wearing a silver mask.
She could vaguely see that the man's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. After staring at her for a long time, he shook his head and sighed at her inaudibly. Then, he took off his black cloak, waved his hand to cover her eyes, and covered her with the cloak…
