Chapter 1 Destruction
Dark clouds blocked the sunlight, and a black crow was waiting on the roof of the main hall of Kunning Palace, its cry was long and mournful.
It was calling for its companions, wanting to share the broken limbs on the ground and have a hearty meal.
The heavy snow fell on the body of the peerless woman in red. The white snow reflected the paleness of her face, her cracked lips, and her eyes seemed to have no light in them.
It was completely different from her high-spirited appearance when she first entered Kunning Palace.
Jiang Yunxi was wearing a cape embroidered with gold cloud and mandarin duck patterns, holding the body of a child who was about four years old. She was kneeling in the snow, her eyes red as she stared at a pair of "wall people" standing opposite her: Zhao Zheyong with a cold look in his eyes and Jiang Wanwan with a sneer on her lips.
Jiang Yunxi is proficient in medicine, has unparalleled wisdom and ruthless means. He helps Zhao Zheyong ascend the throne and kills all those who oppose him in the world. He balances the court and the harem and never makes a mistake.
However, Zhao Zheyong used the excuse that her son Zhao Qi was plotting treason to kill Zhao Qi and depose her from the position of queen.
A four-year-old child plotting treason!
It's really a big joke in the world!
Jiang Yunxi held the little Zhao Qi in her arms, trying to warm his body up again.
But I found that no matter what I did, it was all in vain.
She collapsed and screamed, "Why did you kill him? He is your son...why..."
Even if Zhao Zheyong was afraid of her, did Zhao Zheyong not care about the relationship between them?
"Jiang Yunxi." Zhao Zheyong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with the twelve cloud dragon patterns, put his hands behind his back, slowly walked down the steps and came in front of her.
Jiang Yunxi looked up at him, her eyes fascinated by snowflakes and tears.
Her tears welled up even more.
"You are jealous and can't tolerate your sister, so she can only follow me without any status. Zhao Qi took the place of her child. He deserves to die." Zhao Zheyong pinched Jiang Yunxi's chin tightly.
Jiang Yunxi's body froze, and she looked at Jiang Wanwan behind Zhao Zheyong. Jiang Wanwan touched her belly, her tone full of hatred, "Sister, my child should have been the eldest son."
"You are cruel and killed all my brothers, not even my nephews. And yet you made me bear the crime of fratricide."
Zhao Zheyong felt that the blood stains on Jiang Yunxi's mouth had stained his fingers, so he loosened his hand with disgust and turned his back to her. "However, considering that Wanwan and the Jiang family have pleaded for you, I will spare your life and demote you to a commoner, and imprison you in Yongxiang for life."
That is to banish Jiang Yunxi to the cold palace.
For Jiang Yunxi, this is no different from death.
He shook his sleeves and gradually disappeared from Jiang Yunxi's sight.
Jiang Yunxi felt that this was a huge irony:
Jiang Wanwan was still the wife of a minister, but Zhao Zheyong took her into the palace and made peace with her, which was a disgrace to the royal family. Zhao Zheyong even wanted to give her the title of Imperial Noble Consort, which was known to everyone in the world. Zhao Zheyong was such a face-conscious person, wasn't he afraid of being criticized by the world?
It was obvious that Zhao Zheyong couldn't sleep at night, worried about his brothers rebelling, and knelt beside the bed and begged her to kill his brothers to save his life, but he wanted to put all the blame on her.
If Zhao Zheyong had not been greedy for Jiang Yunxi's influence on the late emperor and the empress dowager and deliberately approached and flattered her, how could she have been so determined to marry him and assist him? She even took the initiative to ask the late emperor for a marriage?
But all of this was her fault.
Jiang Wanwan was wearing a dark purple phoenix robe, her eyes full of pride. She walked briskly to Jiang Yunxi's side, slowly squatted down, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, are you waiting for someone to come and save you?"
Jiang Yunxi stared at Jiang Wanwan, with a glimmer of hope still in her eyes.
But Jiang Wanwan didn't want Jiang Yunxi to get what she wanted. "What a pity! General Zhou Cheng has been executed by his deputy general Zhou Can. Without him, you can't mobilize the troops in the camp outside the capital. Who can save you?"
Jiang Wanwan let out a giggle.
Jiang Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists.
Even if she wanted to mobilize troops, her trusted confidants Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan were both eliminated by Zhao Zheyong on excuses, so she could not send a letter to the outside of the palace for help.
The entire palace, inside and outside, is under Zhao Zheyong's control.
Jiang Wanwan patted Jiang Yunxi's face lightly. The more she looked at her, the more annoyed she became, so she simply cut her skin with her fingernails.
She was most jealous of Jiang Yunxi's stunning beauty, and every time she saw it, she wished she could destroy it.
Today I finally got my wish.
A series of crisscrossing bloody wounds were imprinted on Jiang Yunxi's cheeks, and blood was sliding down her cheeks, looking very scary.
But she was too cold, so cold that she could no longer feel the pain.
"It's even more impossible for my father to save you. You are the daughter of the eldest wife, and you got the honor of the Jiang family and entered the palace as a princess. You even shamelessly stick to my father and say that you are a family. He and I hate you so much!" Jiang Wanwan felt that Jiang Yunxi had taken away her father Jiang Rang's love for her, and she was very jealous. She could only keep alienating their relationship and make Jiang Rang hate his niece.
Jiang Yunxi found it ridiculous. It was clearly Jiang Rang who relied on her niece's powerful status in the palace to be promoted step by step. But now Jiang Wanwan was turning the tables and thought that Jiang Yunxi was taking advantage of Jiang Rang's influence.
"You don't know, do you? How did your father, the great general Jiang An, die? It was because my father sold the city defense map that Xuecheng was breached. Jiang An had no face to return to the court, so he committed suicide in Xuecheng."
Jiang Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists.
"Oh, and the Empress Dowager. No, she should be called the sinner Jiang Xueyi. She worked so hard for you and pushed Your Majesty to the throne. She even offended the late emperor and even buried him in the imperial mausoleum. What a pity." Jiang Wanwan sneered, "She didn't die of illness. She was poisoned by the late emperor. Hahahaha!"
Father Jiang An and grandmother Jiang Xueyi are Jiang Yunxi's bottom line.
Jiang Yunxi's heart suddenly beat violently when she learned the truth. The pain spread to her limbs and bones. She couldn't help but scream out, "Ah..."
Looking at the hysterical Jiang Yunxi, Jiang Wanwan was finally satisfied.
Jiang Wanwan just wanted to peel off Jiang Yunxi's hypocritical noble and pretentious exterior and watch her being crushed into the dust, covered in blood.
Jiang Yunxi would have to live under the trampling of others every day and would never be able to raise her head again.
Jiang Yunxi took out a dagger from his sleeve, stabbed it fiercely into Jiang Wanwan's lower abdomen, then pulled it out and stabbed it into Jiang Wanwan's heart again.
Jiang Wanwan wailed in pain: "Ah..."
Hearing the screams, Zhao Zheyong, who was waiting outside Kunning Palace, walked in quickly.
When Zhao Zheyong saw Jiang Wanwan lying in a pool of blood, he showed an anxious look and was no longer as calm as before.
Jiang Yunxi saw Zhao Zheyong walking quickly towards him, so he raised his hand and threw the dagger straight at his heart.
Zhao Zheyong barely avoided it.
Jiang Yunxi was just about to walk over and continue killing him.
Zhou Can held onto his helmet that was tilted by an arrow and ran over in a panic, "Your Majesty, Prince An has stormed into the palace. He wants to rebel!"
Jiang Yunxi took the opportunity to pick up the dagger he had just thrown and stabbed it directly into Zhao Zheyong's chest.
Perhaps he didn’t react, Zhao Zheyong looked at Jiang Yunxi with wide eyes.
Jiang Yunxi laughed crazily, "The emperor's uncle is here, hahahahahahahaha, your kingdom and your life are no longer yours."
An arrow pierced her chest from behind.
Jiang Yunxi turned her head and saw Jiang Siqi holding a bow, nodding another arrow and shooting it into her chest.
"All your glory is given by me." Jiang Yunxi gritted his teeth.
"My glory is earned by myself and has nothing to do with you." Jiang Siqi is proud of his knowledge and assisted Zhao Zheyong in ascending the throne. He will never admit that he got to the high position by relying on the influence of others.
A sword was stuck in his chest.
Jiang Yunxi turned around and saw Zhou Can's hands trembling. She taunted him coldly, "You are only fit to carry your brother's shoes."
Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Zhou Can's eyes. He had always been suppressed by his brother. Now that he finally got his chance to show off, he still had to endure humiliation from Jiang Yunxi.
He turned the sword, and a bloody hole appeared on Jiang Yunxi's chest.
She resisted the urge to cry out in pain.
Zhao Zheyong pulled out a dagger and slashed Jiang Yunxi's neck hard.
Jiang Yunxi felt a chill on his neck and covered his throat, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.
She finally couldn't hold herself up anymore and fell down heavily.
His eyes were filled with hatred and injustice, and he refused to close them.
Zhou Can supported Zhao Zheyong, who supported his right chest and spat at Jiang Yunxi's body, "Fortunately I didn't tell her that my heart is on the left."
He has always distrusted Jiang Yunxi and been wary of her.
Seeing that she was going to kill him, he felt that he was smart and wise, as he had anticipated this and had been on guard against her in advance.
He completely ignored the fact that he was the culprit who forced Jiang Yunxi to this point.
There was a smug smile on Zhao Zheyong's lips.
Zhou Shen anxiously asked him, "Your Majesty, what about the troops outside?"
"They dare not kill me. If they kill me, Prince An will be guilty of treason and the whole world will be able to punish him. But he dare not." A confident sneer appeared on Zhao Zheyong's lips.
