In her previous life, she was the Empress of a country that existed in name only. The high and mighty Emperor had bestowed upon her with thousands of glory, but he had not been able to give her any love. She was the daughter of a concubine in her elder sister's eyes, but she had taken her place and burned the cold palace that had imprisoned her! She had buried all her relatives with her! When she woke up again, it was when she was fifteen years old. She vowed to give back the hatred of usurping the throne and the revenge of killing her relatives a thousand times over to that vicious concubine's sister! However, she had never thought that she would provoke a short-lived prince. Who would tell her who the person who was completely different from the rumors was...
"Rumble!"
A thunder tore through the thick night, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down! The bean-sized raindrops hit the stone steps with a crackling sound. A woman in luxurious clothes appeared in a room without lights.
She raised her hand and ordered the palace maid following behind her to light up the candles in the room. The shabby scenery was everywhere, and the candlelight flickered in the wind.
The woman on the bed looked up at the coming person with a cold smile on her lips. She had never expected that she would be framed by her closest relative!
The woman in luxurious clothes approached the woman on the bed step by step. Her face was covered with delicate makeup, but the cruelty in the corners of her eyes made her beautiful look ferocious!
Eunuch, please announce His Majesty's edict!
The eunuch behind her took a step forward and spoke to the woman on the bed.
"Please accept the imperial edict, I'm the daughter of a sinner!"
The person on the bed was Gu Yanyan. She listened in disbelief to the "daughter of a sinful minister" mentioned by the eunuch and opened her eyes wide.
"What do you mean?"
"You probably don't know yet, do you? Your grandfather and uncle are planning to rebel and have been subdued. They have been beheaded at noon today. Their heads should be hanging on the city gate now! By the way, His Majesty has ordered them to be executed!"
Gu Yanran only felt that her whole body was surging with blood, and she spat a mouthful of blood on the woman's feet! Blood splashed on her exquisite embroidered shoes! Her grandfather's family was loyal! How could they do anything to rebel?!
"Ah!!! I don't believe it!"
"I've investigated this matter very clearly. The evidence is conclusive. I think you've served in the palace for many years, and I'll give you a quick death. If you continue to pester me like this, don't blame me for being rude!"
This voice was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar with it! She raised her head and looked at the drenched Jun Qing Shi walking in. There wasn't any expression on her face, and it was so cold that she couldn't help but shiver!
A tear fell from the corner of her eye. She struggled to get up from the bed, dragged her eight-month pregnancy, and threw herself at Gu Qingqing.
"Gu Qingqing, even if I have to die, I'll bring you along with me!"
"Ah! Your Majesty, I'm scared!"
Gu Qingqing immediately threw herself into Jun Qin Shi's embrace. Jun Qin Shi protected her tightly and lifted his leg to kick Gu Liyan away! Gu Liyan spat out a mouthful of blood.
"If anything happens to the child in the Queen's and Queen's belly, both of you will die with her. Why don't you do as I say?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Your Majesty, I have been on good terms with my sister for many years. Can you leave this matter to me?"
"Yes."
With just a few simple words, she had handed over the matter of life and death to Gu Manqing. She hated Gu Manyan to the core, so how could she let her go so easily?
Jun Qing Shi didn't even look at Gu Qingqing, who was lying on the ground, before leaving.
"Since His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to kill the whole family, I'm afraid that the children in my sister's and sister's belly are..."
Gu Qingqing had a dagger in her hand, and the blade reflected a cold light under the light. She raised her hand and stabbed it into Gu Hanyan's belly, causing her to turn pale with fright. Her hand was tightly holding onto the dagger in Gu Qingqing's hand.
Fresh blood flowed down her belly. Her eyes were filled with a shocking redness. Her child, her unborn child!
However, Gu Chaoqing stabbed her several times. Gu Tanyan had long lost the strength to resist and only opened her mouth to speak softly.
"Gu Qingqing, if we were to meet again in the next life, I will definitely not let you die! I will not rest until you are dead!"
