Fu Junsuo nodded in agreement, "The emperor is absolutely right!"

Only then did the emperor notice me behind Fu Junsuo and furrowed his brows.

Before the emperor could ask, Fu Junsuo immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words.

"Really?" The emperor looked at me with doubt.

Fu Junsuo nodded respectfully, "Your majesty, you will know once you try!”

The emperor casually pointed and said, "You, come here."

The palace maid waiting at the side quickly approached.

The emperor drew out a sword from the side and then, holding her hand, stabbed me in the abdomen.

I was already used to it, looking at the familiar black line on the emperor's wrist, I even breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing me appear unperturbed, the emperor laughed heartily, "Haha! Haha! Truly worthy of being the gifted goddess! Guards, take the carefree king and the goddess down to rest!"

With that, he embraced a trembling palace maid and walked into the inner room.

In the side hall, Fu Junsuo patiently bandaged my wound.

He had a disgustingly affectionate look on his face.

I found it amusing, he was simply afraid of my strange ability seeking revenge on him.

The fake affection made me sick.

It's alright, as long as he fears me and treats my sisters well.

Perhaps afraid that I would be bored during my time in the palace.

Fu Junsuo often brought my sisters to keep me company.

I heard that Yaozong didn't make it in the end. On the same day, my grandfather suddenly woke up, passing away in a manner as mysterious as my father.

"There's only my mother left at home, I wonder how she is." My sister's voice was filled with worry. Seeing my lack of response, she continued, "Er Ya, she is our mother who raised us, don't you really..."

"Enough!" I interrupted her, "Sister, you used to say you couldn't walk out, now that you have, don't look back."

I continued practicing calligraphy with difficulty.

My sister remained silent, quietly embroidering something on the side.

Days passed slowly, and the palace maid who had been favored when I first entered had already risen to the rank of consort.

Although it had been just over a month, her belly was already as big as if it were seven or eight months along.

The emperor was not satisfied with just one child, he pierced me with a knife every day.

But it was useless.

However, I saw the black aura around his wrist growing stronger.

The smile in Fu Junsuo's eyes became more obvious.

During the Cold Food Festival, the emperor paid tribute to the ancestors and the concubines gave birth.

The former dynasty and the harem were in chaos.

It wasn't until dusk that the emperor arrived in my courtyard with a sword in his left hand and a eunuch holding a basket beside him.

It was the same scene as when the village chief came looking to settle scores with me.

"You demon woman! Today, I will take your life to appease the world!"

Listen to how grand the reason sounds.

The long sword came down, blood splattering three feet.

I stared at him, curious about what organ of mine he would take this time with my blood.

In the next moment, his flesh split open, and his yellow dragon robe was instantly soaked in blood.

As if not realizing it, his eyes rolled in his empty eye sockets.

Then, he ceased to breathe.

The eunuch beside him had long since gone mad, throwing the basket in his hand and screaming wildly, while the baby in the basket was thrown out.

The little one was delicate and exquisite, but his right arm had no skin, a bloody mess.

Not long after, the baby also lost its human form, turning into a wisp of thin smoke.

So, that's how it is. The families that punished me and gave birth to male babies actually produced female infants who died miserably, their grudges turning into a wisp of ash.

Fu Junsuo came leisurely.

Not even an hour after the old emperor's death, Fu Junsuo was already proclaimed as the emperor amid the shouts of the old ministers proclaiming "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

But I stared at the people beside him for a long time without coming to my senses.

The old emperor was not a good person, and Fu Junsuo was even worse.

So in these few months, seizing the opportunity to "pass the time," I carefully asked several girls what they wanted to do.

I handed over the gold, silver, and jewels in the palace for them to purchase what they desired.

My sister always advised me that it was too troublesome, and it would be easier to find ambitious and excellent husbands for them.

I disagreed.

Dependence on others always made one uneasy with money not safely in one's own hands.

Even my sister- I spent money hiring someone to secure a embroidery shop for her.

And now, she stood sweetly by Fu Junsuo's side.

Saying to me,

"Little sister, Junsuo treats me very well, I cannot leave with you."

Fu Junsuo also held my sister's hand gently, saying, "We are kindred spirits at first sight, destined to live and die together, never to disappoint!"

Why couldn't I understand his hidden meaning?

What he actually said was, "Your sister is in my hands, if something happens, she will be the first to die."

"Sister, are you really not coming with me?" I stared into my sister's eyes, asking each word slowly.

"I love him," My sister replied earnestly.
