The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 154
Tonight is different from any other night. Tonight the gripping circumstances give a very scary strangulation. The sound of the night wind that blows slowly even raises its own fear. The sound of night beasts sounding along the hallways within the palace was like the sound of death slicing through hearts.
Concubine Yue sat trembling with her all-white clothes without any complexion on her body. Even the room used to carry out the punishment is also a special room with white walls without any ornaments that will unconsciously exert its own pressure on the person who is in it. The servants serving in his pavilion were already punished by the punch board according to their error rate. The maid closest and loyal to him even received the punishment of punching the board to death.
After queen Zhu took over the case of concubine Yue's affair, one by one the fault of one of the emperor's women began to be uncovered. But the crime of a cheating concubine could not be spread in order to maintain the good reputation of the Emperor, a crime like this could not be exposed in general.
Everyone present at Zhu Man Xie's funeral were all officials and nobles who knew of this unwritten rule. Naturally they would shut their mouths if they still wanted a prosperous life within the empire.
Later concubine Yue would be reported dead from sudden illness. His servant committed suicide for loyalty. So there would be no news spread in the society that would say if the great Emperor had actually been betrayed by his concubine or it would be very embarrassing if this news were to spread.
In front of the room, queen Zhu and a few concubines with higher statuses sat down watching how concubine Yue would receive her punishment. It is also a reminder of what if a lady Emperor made a mistake. The Harem sentence will remain in effect.
"Concubine Yue, you have one chance to ask for a wish." The voice of queen Zhu was low but domineering. The look in her eyes clearly showed ridicule to one of her husband's women.
Concubine Yue looked up and met Queen Zhu's eyes. Hatred was clearly visible in her red eyes. "Let me meet His Majesty." The pale lips of Concubine Yue smiled. A hope appeared in his eyes.
"Cannot be. It's not worth a sinner like yourself to meet His Majesty." Queen Zhu said indifferently.
It was common for the concubines who would get the punishment to ask for such a request. They would always be delusional that they would be able to seduce the Emperor so that they could escape punishment. But what they forgot was that they were not the only women that the Emperor had. Some of them even had no place in the Emperor's heart until they felt a lack of affection which caused them to end up having an affair to treat his loneliness.
"God! Isn't the truth that you are afraid that Your Majesty remembers our affection and forgives me right? I'm definitely more attractive than you're old. That's why you won't let me meet with His Majesty." Concubine Yue tried to provoke queen Zhu so that she would be allowed to meet with the Emperor. He did not believe the usually gentle emperor would simply forget the dozen years they had spent together.
"Are you dreaming enough?" Queen Zhu propped up her chin with one hand. Staring at Concubine Yue lazily. "Do you think you deserve that kind of bullshit on me?" Continue with a mocking laugh at the end of his sentence.
"Since you entered the palace as a concubine, you should know very well about your status and how you behave. You should realize that you are just a tool for your family to survive. His Majesty's acceptance of you in his harem is already a fortune that you should fully appreciate. It's not like you bounced up and became delusional."
Queen Zhu's words were indeed correct. Among the many concubines who entered the palace, almost no one entered because of their hearts. They also never used a heart in the relationship. Including the Emperor who only did his responsibility to carry on should be descendants and not because he loved these women. Even Queen Zhu, the woman who became the Emperor's main wife, did not gain the Emperor's heart. Their relationship is nothing more than a political one. So a concubine who has committed an affair mistake is not worth talking about love in the least.
"alright. Since you don't want anything, do it now and take your own life or you need my help to do it and choose the hard way?" Queen Zhu waved her hand gesturing for the maid to bring in poisonous wine that would be used to take the life of Consort Yue.
Concubine Yue stared at the horror of the wine cup the maid had brought and placed on the small table in front of her. His eyes were filled with obvious fear. His body involuntarily took a step back away from the poisonous wine.
"Why?" Queen Zhu pursed her lips as she looked at the retreating concubine Yue.
"No! I'm not guilty. From the beginning I did not want to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman. So it's not my fault that I'm going back to my girlfriend. We love each other. Don't separate us!" Concubine Yue pushed the wine cup and spilled wine in it. Queen Zhu immediately gestured for the Eunuchs to secure concubine Yue once the woman started to go crazy.
"Huh! Apparently you chose the hard way." Queen Zhu stood up and tossed her tea cup which instantly gave off a terrifying hard clink. Everyone immediately shivered in fear. This kind of thing is not the first time it has happened. But seeing it again will still be able to make everyone feel depressed.
"No... No. gabe... Please forgive me. Forgive my life." Concubine Yue spilled her tears.
"Punished your life? Heh! Where was the arrogance you showed me going? Still have a face to ask for mercy?" Queen Zhu smiled obliquely.
"Guard, concubine Yue has already made her choice. Do immediately. I want to go to bed as soon as it's all over." Queen Zhu turned her head and gave the guard an order before turning around and yawning like what was about to happen was a trivial matter like having the waiter peel the fruit for her.
The guards did not dare to waste time. They rushed forward with a long rope in the hands of one of them. After that they quickly put a rope on Consort Yue's neck and linked the other end to the pole that was not far from concubine Yue was. The pole had been prepared there before.
Concubine Yue continued to rebel. He tried to untie the rope around his neck but as he tried, he would still fail and fail again.
"Your Majesty, it's ready." The guard in charge of putting up the rope reported by cupping his hands. It made all the women in the room begin to tremble. They would hold each other's hands without daring to see what was going on right before their eyes. Concubine Su who had been silent since then closed her eyes. His heart trembled when he heard the deep voice of Queen Zhu.
"good. You can do it now."
"Your Majesty."
One end of the rope linked above the pole is pulled slowly. Concubine Yue rebelled as the rope around her neck began to be attracted.
"Ti.no. Am..pu.ni ak..kku." Yue concubine collapsed as the rope tightened around her neck. But as he pleaded, his voice only grew weaker and weaker.
The concubines inside the room did not dare to raise their heads. They only heard the sura of Yue's concubine getting weaker then all they saw was Consort Yue's raised leg and started looking for a place to stand until the two shoes of Yue's embroidery concubine were finally thrown away the bare feet of the pale concubine Yue stopped moving along with the drooping head of concubine Yue.
