Feiyan"s eyes had became swollen, dark areas beneath were vividly shown. Upon learning that Ling Yue was freed, she could not sleep the whole night. She threw all antique decorations and even priceless vases she had to vent out her anger. Feiyan"s servants became worried of her condition but all they could do was watched her, as she let herself get succ.u.mbed to her rage.Hou Shihuang had intended to visit the Empress Dowager to discuss imperial matters when on his way, he heard commotion in Ling Feiyan"s lavish chamber.
"Feiyan..." Shihuang did not wait for the servants to announce his coming. He instantly walked inside to see Ling Feiyan.
Ling Feiyan is popular for her pleasing and youthful appearance but at the moment, her face was now covered with madness entirely instead. Her clothes were disheveled, making her looked unpleasant to see.
Hou Shihuang"s heart broke immediately at the sight of his miserable woman. "Stop this! What if you injured yourself? What about the child?!"
That"s right. The reason Feiyan was able to seized the empress throne easily was, she has his child. The only child he could get or so he thought. The thing Hou Shihuang didn"t expect was for Ling Yue to bear his child too.
Hou Shihuang forcefully stopped her from breaking things, dragging her to her ma.s.sive untidy bed.
"But dear... that b.i.t.c.h! Why did you let her out?! You also postponed my crowning ceremony! What do you want me to do?!"
Feiyan"s mind collapsed, she knew, at this moment, that everything she had planned will eventually turn to nothing. She knew Ling Yue well. That woman will certainly not stop until she gets punished!
A month ago, Ling Feiyan"s knowledge of her pregnancy and eagerness to be Hou Shihuang"s empress led her to act behind his back such as framing Ling Yue up. He did not know that it was all just a plan until Ling Feiyan herself told him so.
It was a great opportunity for the two of them to be recognized together so Hou Shihuang unarguably followed her plan. In fact, Hou Shihuang knew what Ling Feiyan had been doing in the imperial harem, like letting the other concubines drink tonic to weaken their body slowly or to not get pregnant. As someone who valued Ling Feiyan"s worth, he blindedly abided to her wishes.
"Just leave this to me. You do not have to concern yourself on this. I promise you, I will fix everything. Just focus on your health and our child."
Ling Feiyan"s eyes sparkled. She still hoped to be his empress as soon as possible, with his child, she thought she would definitely get what she ever wanted.
...
Ling Yue comfortably leaned on the tree outside the Heavenly Jade Palace. She was deep in thought, she did not realize how many people had curiously pa.s.sed her by.
Being reincarnated was something she did not expect. She was sure she would survived the fall in the well but now, she appeared to had not hence, she was brought here. On top of that, she was now occupying the body of someone who had the same name as her and situation as her!
Luckily, previous Ling Yue"s memories that warily burst inside her mind had cautiously informed Ling Yue of the previous Ling Yue"s tragic life. It enlightened her of what"s goin on in her new-found life.
Betrayal- the reason why the two of them had their life ended pathetically. The previous Ling Yue had loved Hou Shihuang the most, she would do anything for him and served him with the best of her capabilities. As his empress, her responsibility as the mother of the empire was her second top interest. In addition, the previous Ling Yue trusted her sister the most despite the fact that she was also Hou Shihuang"s concubine. Ling Yue showered Ling Feiyan with her sisterly love but who would have thought, because of her greed, she had came up with this kind of plan?
The previous Ling Yue was smart but not smart enough to save herself from their schemes! She was blinded by her love in which, the new Ling Yue could relate.
Ling Yue clinched her fist, realization hit her senses suddenly. She could now see everything especially, the reason why Hou Shihuang betrayed her love to him- despite being inlove with Ling Yue before.
Just how unforgivable!
A thousand worth of sigh was released. Her heart felt too heavy upon learning the life of the previous one. They may have the same fate but the previous Ling Yue"s situation was worse than her.
Who would have thought that despite this calm atmosphere dwelling within this empire was just a facade to hide many secrets of those greedy demons living their lives? This empire was surely notable, it has immense peacefulness going on but that did not hide from her to see the actualization of the situation. Everything was just pretention. Afterall, when there is peace, there is war.
Where there are people, there would always be a power struggle to satisfy their lifelong greed and heartfelt desire!
Perhaps, this may not be something new to her as she was once the empress of her own big empire yet, it still makes her feel disgusted upon the thought of these schemes surrounding her.
"Well, time to work! Time to work!"
Ling Yue finally stood up after hours of closing her eyes before stretching her body leisurely. She had initial plans going on inside her head already but first, she just wanted to scare this goody new sister of her!
...
Ling Feiyan trembled while reading the words written on a piece of clothing on her hands. She hasn"t still recovered from her frustration yet here comes a new attack from Ling Yue.
Out of madness, she crumpled the paper and threw it away while screaming and crying.
"No! NO! I WONT ALLOW HER! I WONT!"
Ling Feiyan"s servant had truthfully tried to calm her down but her thoughts held her actions captived. She was like a madman, breaking everything she sees, throwing everything as she please
"Your Highness! Please!"
Her vision turned black, overthrown by her immense hatred and fear of Ling Yue. She could no longer hear anything except the possibilities inside her head that reminds her of her dim future.
"NOOOOOO!"
Ling Feiyan lost her balance and instantly fell on the ground. It turned out her berserk action earlier had exhausted her and sent her to sleep.
Though, even in her sleep, those written words still keep on hunting her.
"I will take back what"s rightfully mine. May it the position or his heart. Just wait and see."
