Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The old emperor really did not take Yu Niaoniao seriously. At the same time, he really did not intend to spare her life.

He was prepared to end her life after asking for the whereabouts of the charred corpse.

After tonight, Yu Niaoniao would no longer exist in the world.

The old emperor only smiled gently at Yu Niaoniao’s words. His gaze was as if he was looking at a lamb struggling on the verge of death.

“Very few people dare to talk to me like that. You’re quite bold.”

Yu Niaoniao said neither servile nor overbearing, “I hope Your Majesty will allow it.”

The old emperor did not mind letting her talk a little longer before she died, so he said.

“Ask away. ”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Does Your Majesty already know your true background?”

She asked the sharpest question as soon as she spoke.

The old emperor’s smile quickly faded.

“I thought you would ask who the real culprit who killed Feng Lianghan’s family back then was.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “1 really want to know about this.”

The old emperor said, “Do you think it will be me?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I originally suspected that the Empress Dowager was the real culprit, but if all of this was done by the Empress Dowager, then when the Empress Dowager saw the jade bracelet, she wouldn’t have reacted in shock and confusion. On the other hand, Your Majesty’s reaction after knowing about the charred corpse was more like that of an insider, so I had a new hypothesis.”

The old emperor leaned back slightly and looked at her calmly.

“Tell me about it.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Your Majesty must have known long ago that you are not of royal blood. In order to hide this secret, you sent someone to kill my stepfather and mother. Later, you silenced everyone who knew. In the end, even your biological father was not spared. You’re really ruthless.”

The words biological father agitated the old emperor.

His face darkened as he emphasized each word. “He’s not my father!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “If he wasn’t your father, why would you kill him? You even burnt his corpse.”

The old emperor’s gaze became more and more dangerous.

“Looks like you don’t want to live anymore.”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him calmly. “Your Majesty never wanted me to live to see the sun tomorrow, did he?”

The old emperor stopped talking.

This was tacit agreement with her.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Actually, Li Niang had already given up on taking revenge when she was alive. My stepfather had never thought of fighting for the throne. As for your biological father, he had already hidden his identity for many years. These people only want to live a peaceful life. As long as you don’t tell anyone, no one will know your secret. Why do you have to be so ruthless?”

In the end, she couldn’t help but reveal hatred in her tone.

The old emperor said coldly, “Only the dead can keep secrets.”

At this D0int. he could not be bothered to hide it and admitted everything

frankly.

Yu Niaoniao said, “You even killed your biological father. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

The old emperor sneered as if he had heard a funny joke.

“Retribution? If there’s really retribution in this world, then let the heavens strike me to death now.”

Looking at his fearless appearance, Yu Niaoniao was filled with hatred and unwillingness.

“It’s just not time yet.”

The old emperor was a little tired.

He could not be bothered to waste his breath on her and said, “Tell me quickly. Where did you hide that charred corpse? As long as you tell me the truth, I can leave you an intact corpse.”

The truth was out. He had stopped hiding his malice towards her.

Yu Niaoniao slowly walked forward. “I’ll tell you now. That charred corpse is hidden…’

Her voice trailed off. In order to hear the last few words clearly, the old emperor had to prick up his ears and concentrate.

At this moment, she actually raised her right hand and expanded it according to her motive.

The crossbow hidden in her wide sleeve was immediately activated!

An exquisite and small arrow was suddenly shot at the old emperor’s heart!

The old emperor was weak and slow. It was impossible for him to dodge.

He watched as the arrow approached him.

The next moment, a figure fell from the roof and stood in front of the old emperor.

The man was dressed in black. He was tall and strong, and his figure was as fast as a ghost. It was obvious that he was an expert.

He drew the saber at his waist and blocked the arrow with the back of it.

There was a clang as the arrow bounced away.

Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao shot two more arrows.

In the end, they were all blocked by the man in black with a saber.

Yu Niaoniao pressed it a few more times. Unfortunately, the crossbow was empty and could no longer shoot.

The old emperor was indeed frightened just now.

He gently stroked his heart, his tone filled with killing intent.

“How dare you assassinate me? How dare you?”

Yu Niaoniao had long known that she would not be able to escape death tonight, so she wanted to take a last gamble.

She saw that she and the old emperor were alone in the bedroom. The old emperor was weak. If she suddenly attacked, it would definitely be difficult for him to dodge.

In the end, she was too naive.

How could someone as cautious and suspicious as the old emperor put himself in danger?

There had always been secret guards hidden by his side, but outsiders could not see them.

Yu Niaoniao lowered her hand.

She Imew she had lost the bet. The resentment and unwillingness in her heart intertwined, making it impossible for her to accept this ending.

It did not matter if she died, but how could the murderer in front of her live well?

He had killed so many innocent people.

He was the one who really deserved to die!

The old emperor looked at her as if she was a corpse and ordered coldly.

“Looks like you’re not going to tell the truth. Since you want to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish. Take her down and don’t let her die too quickly.”

The secret guard went forward to grab Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao tried to resist.

She used all the self-defense techniques Xiao Juan had taught her and almost escaped.

However, before she could touch the door, two more secret guards appeared.

The three of them attacked together.

This time, Yu Niaoniao could not resist at all and was knocked out and taken away.

Those who had made mistakes in the palace were usually sent to the Punishment Division. However, the old emperor did not want others to know of Yu Niaoniao’s existence. He asked the secret guards to send her to the dungeon.

When they brought Yu Niaoniao to the dungeon, before they could wake her up, Shen Zhuo suddenly barged in.

The secret guards Imelt down and bowed.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Shen Zhuo first looked at the sleeping Yu Niaoniao. After confirming that she was safe, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He wanted to pick Yu Niaoniao up and take her away.

The commander of the secret guards hurriedly went forward to stop him. “His Majesty has already ordered the Princess Consort of Lang County to die. If you take her away, I won’t be able to report to His Majesty.”

Shen Zhuo said, “Don’t worry, only you and I know what happened tonight. Later, find another female corpse with a similar figure to Niaoniao to replace her. Leave the rest to me. I promise I won’t implicate you.”

The secret guard commander hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

“Then we’ll do as you say.”

Although he was the commander of the secret guards by the old emperor’s side, he was actually a spy planted by the Wen family.

Other than Empress Wen and the current head of the Wen family, only Shen

Zhuo knew about this..
