In her previous life, she was a puppet in the hands of a devious scoundrel, her vision clouded by a cunning romantic rival. Tragedy struck even her innocent child, leaving her on her deathbed with a burning desire for revenge. Seemingly moved by her plight, the heavens granted her a second chance. In this life, she abandons the pursuit of love, focusing solely on her thirst for revenge. The scoundrel who once fooled her is now at her mercy, begging for forgiveness. Her former rival, once her nemesis, now bows in fear. She believed her life's purpose was to exact revenge, but destiny introduced a handsome prince who promised, "In your quest for vengeance, I will stand at your back."
"Yo, are you still alive?"
"The former empress, the invincible female general in Western Zhou, Miss Priscilla, are you satisfied with the straw bed I put for you?"
In the dark, damp, and cold woodshed, Priscilla curled up on the straw and looked at the woman at the door.
At the door, the woman was well-dressed and graceful. It could be seen that she had a high status. She wore old clothes on the straw, her hair was messy, and her body was covered with dirt. Her face was pale and she was in stark contrast.
"Emma, do you think you can be at ease after replacing me and sitting in the back seat?"
Priscilla slowly propped herself up and said with a mocking smile, "Alec is a heartless dog. I accompanied him to fight for many years and helped him conquer thousands of miles of land. For him, I was imprisoned for half a month by the enemy country. I gritted my teeth and endured humiliation before I escaped. But what about him?"
She touched her flat belly and sobbed with every word she said. "He poisoned the baby in my belly with his own hands! That's his own flesh and blood! But because I was in the enemy country for half a month, he insisted that this was the king of the enemy country and my evil son!"
"He also destroyed my inner strength, broke my bones and muscles, and made me a useless person! Ha, half a life's love is nothing more than this!"
"It's such a heartless man. Do you expect him to love you for the rest of his life? Dream on! I will be you tomorrow!"
Emma lowered her eyes and looked down at her. Finally, she sneered and said, "You're wrong. I'm different from you. His Majesty really loves me. He's just making use of you from the beginning."
"What?"
Priscilla was stunned, and her body almost turned cold in an instant.
"Do you think that an orphan daughter like you, who has no parents, can get to know His Majesty, the prince?"
"Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth. His Majesty saved your life that year just because you have a new bone structure. You're a good candidate for martial arts."
"Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty has personally taught you martial arts over the years? Why should he teach you how to read and write? Of course, he wants you to be loyal to him, rely on him, and become a dog who only listens to his words and make a knife for him! How many times have you been born and killed for His Majesty over the years? Every effort you make is in His Majesty's plan!"
Hearing this, Priscilla widened her eyes in disbelief.
She thought that she had seen through Alec's insidiousness, but she did not expect that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Back then, she had been copied all over the house. It was Alec who had picked her up and lost her on the street. He had taken her home, taught her how to read and write, taught her kung fu to defend herself, and treated her very gently.
She inevitably fell in love with him. She loved him so much that she was willing to fight for him. In order to put on the armor and go to the battlefield, she became a murderous female general!
But all of this was his plan?
She couldn't help trembling, and her heart instantly went cold.
"By the way, His Majesty was the one who ordered the extermination of your entire family!"
Emma looked at her shocked and dull look and smiled proudly. "In order to make you listen to him, of course, he have to make you have no responsibility and work for him alone!"
Hearing this, Priscilla felt a sharp pain in her heart, and a mouthful of sweet blood welled up in her throat.
Emma was still chattering, "I'm different from you, but His Majesty cares about me!"
"Although I used to be an imperial concubine and was not as noble as you, in fact, I was on the same level as you. Even the son I gave birth to was conferred the title of Crown Prince by His Majesty."
"When you were conferred the title of Crown Prince, your trusted subordinates risked their lives to say that they were killed by His Majesty. Do you think that they crossed the line and provoked His Majesty so that they got into trouble? You're wrong. That's just an excuse. His Majesty wanted to kill them for a long time. Only by killing them can you weaken your strength, don't you?"
"When the Crown Prince and I were captured by the enemy, His Majesty handed over you, the empress, in exchange for our safe return. Don't you know, Priscilla?"
"When you suffered a lot of humiliation in the enemy country and tried every means to escape, His Majesty and I were on the same bed. He never cared about your life!"
"From the moment His Majesty ascended the throne, you are of no use to him. He is constantly thinking about getting rid of you and making me his empress! Now all this has finally reached his wish. Priscilla, you can die!"
Priscilla's heart was already broken and full of grief. At this moment, she even felt that it was very difficult for her to even beat when she was injured.
She had worked hard all her life to fight against enemies. The scars on her body, big and small, deep and shallow, the tears of blood and lives of her brothers, had all become jokes at this moment!
Alec, you deserve to die!
Emma suddenly took a few steps forward and held her chin tightly. The golden and sharp hairpin was shining, straight into her eyes.
The woman's cold voice sounded in her ear. "Do you know that the thing I hate most in my life is your eyes. They are too powerful and make me very uncomfortable. Before I send you to hell, I will take these eyes away first."
After that, she stabbed the golden hairpin into it!
"Ah—!" A miserable cry suddenly resounded through the whole room.
Blood couldn't stop gushing out of her eyes. Priscilla covered her eyes in pain, and her palms couldn't stop the blood at all.
"Emma!" When she was in great pain, she heard the man's familiar voice. The worry in his tone was obvious, but it was all because of another woman.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Alec coming, Emma was no longer as cold as before. Instead, she became delicate and weak. "I don't know why she suddenly went mad. She grabbed my hand and poked her eyes. I'm so scared."
"Emma, don't be afraid. I'm here." The man's voice was gentle and affectionate. When she was young, he had said soft words to her, but now the voice made Priscilla feel disgusted.
"Your Majesty." Emma's voice was so delicate that it was as if it could drip water. "It is said that a madman will suffer a lot in the rest of his life. No matter what she says, she has made a lot of contributions to Western Zhou. She will die soon. Why don't we give her a quick death?"
Alec was extremely gentle. "My Emma is so considerate."
With this, he shouted, "Come on, stab her to death!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing the guard's response, the corner of Priscilla's mouth curved into a smile. "Even if I die, I will take you two down with me!"
With an angry roar, she randomly grabbed the golden hairpin that fell beside Emma and pointed it out. Then she rushed in the direction of Emma!
"Emma, be careful!" Alec protected Emma with one hand and grabbed the sword of the guard with the other. He stabbed at Emma precisely!
The cold blade of the sword passed through Priscilla's heart, and the cold blood dyed the blade red. It dropped to the ground, and no one felt sorry for it.
She held the golden hairpin tightly and maintained the posture of an attack, but she could no longer move forward.
"Alec! Emma! If there is no afterlife, I will not let you off even if I turn into a ghost!"
Priscilla's mouth was full of blood, like a bloodthirsty demon. Her whole body was gloomy, and her pupil-less eyes were dyed red with blood, which made people feel cold in their hearts. "If there is an afterlife, I will destroy all your great rivers and mountains and the throne of imperial power! I will let you..."
"Blood! paid! Blood! Pay for it!"
