Chapter 368 Crazy Revenge
Chapter 368 Crazy Revenge
Su Baiyue was floating in the air, with a slight frown on his brows.
She felt something was wrong. Why didn't he show up earlier or later, but just after Su Baiyue stabilized the court?
Is all this just a coincidence?
As the plot develops, things begin to become more and more complicated, and more and more beyond Su Baiyue's expectations.
Inside the palace, Su Baiyue made a bold decision: she blatantly took Xuanyuan Zheng into her harem and allowed him to interfere in state affairs.
For some difficult court issues, she even took the initiative to discuss with Xuanyuan Zheng and seek his advice.
After all, Xuanyuan Zheng had once been an emperor, so he was naturally familiar with these things.
In this way, in just half a year, Su Baiyue completely trusted Xuanyuan Zheng, and the two of them lived a happy life in the palace.
However, just as they were enjoying their sweet time, a sudden change threw the whole situation into chaos.
Late at night, there was a sudden noise outside the quiet palace, with shouts of fighting and killing rising one after another.
The sound came with such force that it spread from outside the palace to inside in a blink of an eye, as if a storm swept in in an instant.
Su Baiyue suddenly opened her eyes and looked around blankly. The scene before her gave her an illusion, as if she had returned to that night when her country was destroyed and her family was ruined.
However, the next moment, the cold blade on her neck made her realize that this was not an illusion.
"Su Baiyue, my love for you is true, but I love my country more!"
Xuanyuan Zheng's voice was cold and resolute, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing her heart.
There was indifference and ruthlessness in his eyes, as if the person in front of him was no longer the woman he loved deeply, but a betrayer.
"Besides, you have already served countless men and your body is already filthy. How can you be qualified to be my queen?"
His words were as biting as the cold wind, and every word seemed to tear her soul apart.
Su Baiyue widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, whom she once loved deeply, in disbelief.
His face was still handsome, but with an elusive indifference and ruthlessness.
Tears blurred her vision and the pain in her heart almost suffocated her.
"Xuanyuan Zheng..." She called his name softly, her voice full of despair and helplessness.
But he remained indifferent and just looked at her coldly, without any mercy in his eyes.
At this moment, Su Baiyue realized that so-called love was so fragile in the face of power and interests.
She thought she had found a lifelong support, but she didn't expect to be abandoned in the end.
Just like that, Su Baiyue was taken down. Only then did she realize that no one inside or outside the court supported her, a woman, to control the government.
They had been waiting for some evidence against her, but Su Baiyue was so diligent and hardworking that they had not been able to find any evidence. They racked their brains and finally found Xuanyuan Zheng who had just returned from losing his memory.
That sentence was indeed not a lie to her, but later on it was indeed a lie to her.
Xuanyuan Zheng cooperated with the old ministers inside and outside the court to bring down Su Baiyue. They just couldn't stand a woman standing above them.
Su Baiyue had never thought that she would lose so badly, nor had she ever thought that she would be so credulous.
She thought she was fully prepared, but ultimately she succumbed to the temptation of human hearts and power.
"Why?" she murmured, tears streaming down her cheeks.
However, no matter how she questioned, there was only one answer - the desire for power.
Then in the following scene, Su Baiyue in the sky closed her eyes and could not bear to watch any more.
Soon Su Baiyue became the real empress dowager imprisoned in the harem.
Xuanyuan Zheng returned to the throne and continued to be loved by the people. But after he took the throne, a new round of competition naturally began.
However, the competition this time was much milder, simply because he was a man. The ministers still felt that as long as he could embody the cultivation that an emperor should have, they would be willing to accept him.
In contrast, Su Baiyue was imprisoned in the harem.
She sat in the gorgeous yet cold palace, looking at the bright moon outside the window, her heart filled with despair and regret.
As night falls, everything becomes quiet and the whole world is immersed in tranquility.
However, on this seemingly peaceful night, there is a person whose heart is being consumed by anger and hatred.
This person is the current emperor Xuanyuan Zheng.
Ever since he ascended the throne, he knew that Su Baiyue had betrayed him, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, out of control.
He felt his dignity was deeply hurt, and this hurt drove him crazy.
So, every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would fall into a state of madness.
He couldn't accept the fact that Su Baiyue was cheating on him, and his proud self-esteem was trampled to pieces.
So he began to seek a way of revenge, trying to use the pain of others to make up for his own inner trauma.
He indulged himself, partying with many women every night and becoming addicted to sensual pleasures.
He deliberately brought Su Baiyue into the palace and let her witness with her own eyes him having fun with other women.
He wanted to use this method to make Su Baiyue feel the pain of being hurt and humiliated.
Not only that, Xuanyuan Zheng also felt extremely disgusted with Su Baiyue's existence.
Any tiny detail that reminds him of the past will trigger his anger.
Once, he became furious just because of a word from the little prince Sheng Suian.
He actually called Sheng Suian over and strangled him to death in front of Su Baiyue!
