Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 152: The Bottom Line.

Those people were rolling around on the floor painfully. They held onto their faces that were filled with many horrible puffy white nodules.

A moment later, the nodules on their faces exploded, spurting a fishy-smelling white liquid that stung like an extremely disgusting pus. Along with the shards of liquid from their faces, from within the wounds were also crawling insects whose bodies were fat and white, similar to flesh-eating maggots, which were fat, it's just a little bigger.

Those disgusting white insects kept crawling on the faces and all over the bodies of those pesky officials. There were some insects that fell and wriggled on the floor due to the irregular movements of the people in pain.

The sight was truly terrifying and made one feel unspeakable nausea. However, those people seemed to be unaware of it and continued to shout out in pain.

The insects crawling on their bodies became more and more even as their entire faces were shattered and disgusting blood and pus liquid washed over their bodies. Those disgusting insects don't stop there. They swooped and drilled back under the skin of those people. Viewed from the surface of their bodies, the insects move under the skin to feed on blood and meat to aid their growth.

The cries of those people became increasingly violent and slowly stopped. The men were lying on the floor with shattered and formless faces. Silent, only the insects under the skin continued to wriggle to eat the meat.

Moments later, the movement on the corpse completely stopped and there was no movement at all. The bodies left only a layer of skin on the bones, without any blood and flesh. The skin on the corpse suddenly cracked apart and from the inside appeared an insect with a red-striped purple carapace that resembled its parent insect. The insects immediately flew towards the cloaked man and disappeared under his cloak. No one knows where the insects are going.

The frightening and disgusting sight seemed to be a nightmare that haunted the hearts of many people. However, the foul fishy smell in the air told me that the incident was not at all a dream, but a very frightening reality.

With such a sight, many people were frightened as well as disgusted, especially those who were afraid and disgusted of insects, they had long since fallen to the floor and lost their consciousness. Other than such people, even normal people felt extremely nauseous. Merely, looking at those two robed people who were still standing there, those who wanted to vomit had to hold back as much as they could so as not to offend these demon-like guests.

"You're making this room dirty."

The woman said slightly dissatisfiedly looking at the corpses on the floor that were in a miserable condition. He waved his hand and a black mist immediately enveloped the corpses. After the black fog dispersed, the corpses had already disappeared and only left traces of liquid on the floor.

After cleaning up the unpleasant things, the woman turned her head towards me with a smile but not a smile on her face.

"As an emperor, you should immediately prepare to welcome His Majesty."

I was shocked for a while after hearing what the woman said.

Jianlin:"A, can I still live?."

The woman glanced at me with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

"Yes. His Majesty only ordered to kill those who tried to escape or those who tried to riot. As long as you do nothing wrong, Your Majesty still wants to meet you, so you should not do anything strange so as not to provoke His Majesty's anger."

After a while, the man in the robe added.

"Also, I've sent many knights to arrest and bring the officials in charge of the government to this palace. Oh also, Your Majesty will arrive seven days from now, preferably preparations for the transfer of the Throne will be completed immediately."

The men immediately turned around and left, leaving only the soldiers to check on the people present. After a while, we were free from inspection and allowed to do anything as long as it did not cross the palace boundaries.

Zhang Zilin:"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I will return to my room..."

I saw that Zhang Zilin's face had become pale and unhealthy. Perhaps he was a little shaken after seeing that terrifying sight. I had no choice but to let the other empresses and concubines return to their respective residences to rest and calm down

Right now, in the throne room, there is only me and a few loyal ministers added with Tian Che.

The room was quiet, filled with a heavy and depressed atmosphere. The incident reminded us once again that the enemy we were facing was a monster and there was no chance for us to fight back. This silent and depressed gym lingered for a while before Tian Che asked a question.

Tian Che:"Your Majesty, are we really not going to escape?."

Hearing the question he asked, I shook my head without thinking much about it. Escape?, is that possible?.

Maybe, but very small. I had absolutely no idea what abilities the two men possessed, not to mention, their soldiers who kept on patrolling and watching the movements of every person in the palace.

If the escape fails, there is absolutely no way back and only death can be obtained. However, if it survives in the palace and follows their request, then there is still little hope of survival. At least it was the only glimmer of hope I held.

Moreover, seeing how ruthless those people were, if we were to escape, then those people would definitely flip over the entire capital for the sake of finding us. I don't know how many innocent people will die for my selfishness.

Not only me, even judging by their expressions, the officials and Tian Che were also aware of the consequences of doing so. There was no other choice, we could only stay in the palace and wait for the arrival of the one they called 'His Majesty'.

Silver Palace...

(Zhang Zilin).

Over a million soldiers and almost all of them were annihilated, what kind of power was that?!. Hearing such impossible news, it really scared me to think about it.

if in general, a war involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers would end for at least two or three yellow lights. But this, with such a large number of soldiers, was not even able to withstand the enemy for two days?!.

Such news is very hard for me to believe, but I also know that it is a very terrible truth. I was scared, very scared.

However, something managed to eliminate all my fears. For many years, I have been an empress.

I knew that Jianlin liked me, but I had always been in a position under the Viil queen just because she had a stronger background than me. Satisfied?. Of course I won't be satisfied. I also have my own desires and ambitions.

For a long, long time I felt pressure and dissatisfaction, but there was nothing I could do to change that.

But with that too, my position would only be stalled at this point which I absolutely could not accept. If I was only in this position, how could I possibly destroy Jianlin and the rest of the palace?.

I don't care what, even if I have to sacrifice everything, I will do it, as long as I can make those people suffer.

Love?. Yes, I love Jianlin and he loves me too, but what?!. He once said that he would take the throne for my sake. But, after he ascended the throne, he put me in a position under the Viil queen simply because of social status.

I, who had been with him for a long time, gave him support in order to ascend the throne. In fact, my parents had to lead the family army and died in the battlefield to defend him. All the things that were so painful and infinite sacrifices I had given, but in the end I was only put in second place and defeated by the person who suddenly appeared?!. How could I possibly accept it?!.

But I just end up tolerating it all. Until it happens...

I was pregnant with my son at the time. My gestational age at that time was only one yellow light. I am very happy and looking forward to his birth.

For him, that child is a crystallization of me and Jianlin. But all my hopes were ruined. With that cunning Viil queen, she pushed me down the stairs causing my ribs to break. And... And most of all, I had to lose my baby.

It made me very desperate, but the one that made me most desperate came after that. Although the Viil queen was found guilty and should be punished, but because the family of the Viil queen pressured Jianlin, the Viil queen was released from her sentence and only exiled to the ember palace for a while.

That's when I was really broken. My only hope has been broken. Even the Jianlin I believed in had abandoned me. But with that in mind, I realized that he did not ascend to the throne for my sake, but for power alone.

Since then, my heart has been really cold for her. I hate him, I don't even want to see him anymore. However, I realized, that I would not be able to do anything if I left the palace. I prefer to stay in the palace Harem and make small movements while maintaining the drama mask on my face.

Many times I wanted to make them suffer, but I couldn't do it because I didn't have enough strength. I can only wait for an opportunity to do something.

Out of the throne room, I returned to the silver palace together with my three loyal servants. I kept this weak and gentle woman's face all the time to hide all my hatred.

Arriving in front of the silver palace gate, I entered as usual. It's just that today the atmosphere is very different. There would normally be two or three warriors guarding at the silver palace gate, yet today it was completely empty and desolate.

Zhang Zilin:"You go!."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Before entering my residence, I chased away all the servants who were following me and entered the room alone. This room was so spacious with furniture made from spirit wood. The view in this room will be beautiful if only this room is not too gloomy with minimal light.

I accidentally closed the entire curtain and turned off the flow of magic from the crystal stone that usually illuminated the room. I walked into this quiet, cold room. Only the sound of my footsteps rang out.

I stopped and knelt down to pay my respects to the darkness in the corner of the room.

Zhang Zilin:"I have done my duty."

The shadow that was in the corner of the room swayed and showed a figure of a black-robed woman with amethyst purple eyes that shone in the darkness.

"good job. Your next task is to organize and manipulate this empire on the orders of His Majesty."

Zhang Zilin:"I received an order from His Majesty."

I dare not raise my head to meet her eyes directly. I can only look down when I talk.

"You will be the controller of this empire from behind the scenes and manipulate that emperor into using it for the sake of His Majesty's next plan. Work well and there will be rewards and remuneration that are worth your hard work."

The voice of the robed woman was soft and pleasant, like the wind blowing in the bamboo forest. However, he had a cold and gloomy aura that surrounded his entire body, which made anyone goosebumps.

"One more thing, His Majesty gave me a message to give this to you, after I told His Majesty about you."

Hearing that something would be given to me, I looked up and saw the woman pull out a glass bottle from the void. The bottle was made of a kind of small transparent clear glass, just enough to be held by hand.

Through the transparent glass, I could see that the bottle was filled with a kind of red liquid like blood. The red liquid also had a pink aura around it that kept flashing and flashing.

I didn't know what the bottle contained, but just by looking at it, I was already dizzy, as if my consciousness was being pulled by something.

With a light pat on my shoulder, I regained my senses and hurriedly extended both my hands to receive the glass bottle. Apparently, other than the bottle, the robed woman also handed me a paper.

"Pour the contents in the bottle into boiling water and use the boiling water to take a bath. But before that, you have to stick the paper on your body."

After saying that, the robed woman suddenly disappeared like she had never been there. I still knelt down and looked at the two things that were in my hands.

This is the opportunity I've been waiting for all this time. You wait, I will definitely make you all suffer...

(The end of this chapter.)

I find it very boring if there is only a fight in this novel, so I also want to insert a little happy household drama...

But this is the first time I've written anything about a drama like this. I have absolutely no idea how to write a love plot and so on, so forgive me for writing it rigidly...
