“Slap slap, you are truly a heartless and ungrateful wretch. I have always doted on you, yet you repay kindness with betrayal!” Shu Fei stared at Jin Zhi, speaking without emotion.
“Shu Fei, at this point, you are still being unreasonable. I am deeply disappointed in you!” Ming Leng Chen clenched his fists, forcefully hitting the armrest of the chair.
“Haha, if one wants to accuse someone, reasons can always be found. This concubine is willing to accept any punishment, but I have one request,” Shu Fei wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye with her sleeve, staring at Ming Leng Chen.
“Speak,” he said impatiently.
“Do not harm my parents. This matter has nothing to do with them. I will bear all consequences alone,” Shu Fei said sternly.
“Guards, drag Shu Fei out and execute her,” Ming Leng Chen said coldly, his sleeve sweeping without a trace of reluctance or mercy.
Just as the guards were about to take Shu Fei away, “Wait” – it was the Empress Dowager who spoke, looking reluctantly at Shu Fei, whose clothes were now disheveled from struggling. Her once most beloved daughter-in-law had now fallen to such a miserable state. What a sin!
“Shu’er, is this truly what you did? The Empress Dowager wants to hear the truth from you.”
“Aunt, you have loved me too much. We will be filial in the next life!” After saying this, Shu Fei was dragged away by the guards. There was no desperate pleading, only a quiet departure. The once arrogant Shu Fei had thus easily sacrificed her youth for a futile matter.
Shu Fei was wrong, but not deserving of death – this was Mei Si Yu’s thought. In her view, Shu Fei’s “kill without mercy” was indeed directed at herself, but why did everyone believe her intention was to harm the Emperor, even Jin Zhi, who was by Shu Fei’s side, had step by step pushed her into the abyss! Although she did not particularly like Shu Fei, seeing her die like this made her feel a strange sensation, with a bit of reluctance and a bit of sorrow. Was this the so-called palace life?
