Today, a very bright afternoon arrived – suddenly turned dark. The sound of the sky rumbled and lightning bolted as if the sky god was enraged.
Darkness began to grumble the earth, trapping the – people who were under the sky tightly, as if not letting anyone escape just like that.
The halls of the once magnificent Ming imperial palace now look like huge cages trapping anyone inside, making it difficult to breathe.
In a very large and magnificent room clothes and jewelry look scattered where – where as if – if a major disaster has just happened there.
In the corner of the room was a woman with a limp body kneeling on the floor, as if she could no longer get up while looking intently at someone standing before her.
The twenty-two-year-old young lady looked like an old woman because of her poorly maintained face and body.
There was an extremely deep aura of hostility he let out, the look of his eyes looking empty like a well that had long since dried up.
However, the next second, the look in his eyes turned extremely sharp with an extremely deep aura of hatred visible there.
“ Brother, now the condition of the kingdom is stable and peaceful. So it's time for brother to enjoy life better...”, said grand concubine Noywen haughtily while smiling cynically.
Jiang Xia Yan was not ignorant of what the meaning behind the grand concubine's words was. In other words, the snake woman wanted to explain that she was no longer needed in the palace after the great sacrifices she had made for the Ming empire.
It is not only him who is indirectly banished, as long as he is held hostage in neighboring countries for the sake of peace, his daughter had been so ill that she had suffered a tragic death from the poison that kept eating away at her internal organs.
Likewise, the son, who was the crown prince of the Ming Empire, was forcibly deposed and died in exile as a punishment given by the husband.
Of course, all of that happened because of the incitement and vile slander committed by the great concubine Noywen who wanted her only son to ascend the throne as crown prince.
It was not only his two hearts that were taken away, his Jiang family who had sacrificed everything for the country and empire had also been annihilated by the husband so that none of the Jiang family members could escape the death.
Within three years of sacrificing himself as a hostage to another country, his entire clan had perished and he also had to tragically lose both of his cherished children in the hands of the man he loved so much.
What a shame, that was all that could be said regarding the fate obtained by Jiang Xia Yan who was the empress of the Ming empire.
Jiang Xia Yan did not expect if his sacrifice to accompany the husband from below was only considered a joke.
Struggle in joy and sorrow for eight years together, through hard trials and tribulations and helping and strengthening each other was in fact only considered a past wind that was meaningless to Ming Shin.
Making the love of Jiang Xia Yan slowly began to disappear and be replaced with extreme hatred.
His sacrifice, loyalty, and devotion all this time Jiang Xia Yan gave as if it was completely meaningless to Ming Shin.
After saying this, Grand Concubine Noywen immediately told her –-day lady to change into Jiang Xia Yan's clothes with a bundle of white silk that she had brought.
Jiang Xia Yan was not a fool, he certainly knew what a bundle of white silk under the great concubine Noywen meant to him.
“ Cih...is this the reply I received for all the sacrifices I have given so far...”, said Jiang Xia Yan cynically.
“ During the stay brother...gather with your family and your two children in hell...”, whispered the great concubine Noywen before leaving the room with a triumphant smile seen on her face.
Grpr…..
Jiang Xia Yan was only able to growl furiously hearing all the words given by grand concubine Noywen to him.
But whatever the force, he couldn't even move his hand to slap the woman's venomous mouth.
Shortly after, the door of the room creaked open again and a pair of dragon-embroidered shoes came in and stepped closer to him.
As soon as Jiang Xia Yan looked up, he could see the figure of the handsome man clad in the golden yellow oversized robe he used to love so much.
He is the emperor of Ming Shin, the handsome man he once loved so much before he took out his entire family and his two loved ones.
With a cold gaze the Sumi said “ considering that you have faithfully followed Zhen for the past eight years, then kindly Zhen will give you a decent and painless death. For that, you should already be grateful for the kindness that Zhen gave you this..”.
Jiang Xia Yan instantly froze after hearing the husband's words. He tried to stare intensely at the man in front of him, trying to find a lie in the words he gave.
However, Jiang Xia Yan had to swallow a huge disappointment in time not finding the slightest trace of lies there.
Her husband turned out to be right – really serious with what he just said. The man wanted to kill him easily and painlessly after all the sacrifices and love given to him, as if it had already become a gift to Jiang Xia Yan.
“ Why ?...why are you doing this to me ?...”, said Jiang Xia Yan with a sad feeling.
Not answering what Jiang Xia Yan asked, the man she loved so much came forward and pulled out a bottle of poison from under her sleeve and gave it to her.
Jiang Xia Yan stared at the glass bottle with a sharp look full of hatred. Emperor Ming Shin who saw his wife was silent without reacting started to walk closer.
With her burly hands, she gripped onto Jiang Xia Ya's face violently and held the beautiful face up so that her mouth would open.
With a piercing cold look. Emperor Ming Shin immediately poured the dark liquid into his wife's mouth.
Jiang Xia Yan did not have enough strength to rebel because he had already been crippled by making him unable to move anymore because all of his bones had been broken.
Emperor Ming Shin covered his wife's mouth and nose to make sure the poison liquid was swallowed into Jiang Xia Yan's throat.
With a nagging and hateful look, Jiang Xia Yan swore inwardly that he would avenge everyone who had hurt him all along, he said, especially to the man she once loved so much who was in front of her now.
Emperor Ming Shin smiled coldly as he saw that his wife had swallowed the poison she had given him and confirmed that Jiang Xia Yan had died without the slightest pain right before his eyes.
The poison reacted very quickly. As soon as it was swallowed in, before long Jiang Xia Yan's consciousness gradually – began to disappear and die carrying a very deep grudge.
