Chapter 1: Tragic Death in the Cold Palace
Nanxuan Kingdom!
Capital City, Imperial Palace!
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with heavy snowfall, and in a dark and humid cold palace, an unkempt woman lay lifeless on the cold bed.
Her hand tendons and hamstrings were all severed, and she was weakly hammered against the edge of the bed. Blood slid down her hands and feet, covering the bed and flowing to the floor.
If you didn't look carefully, you might even think it was a dead person.
"Creak~"
The sound of the door opening sounded, and Xin Nianyan slowly opened her empty eyes.
I saw a man and a woman walking in. As soon as the woman entered the door, she saw the blood on the ground and the dying woman on the bed.
A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, and then she screamed: "Oh, why did my sister become like this? Your Majesty, Rou'er is so scared."
The man held her in his arms and coaxed her softly: "You must be scared if you don't listen when I tell you not to come."
Xin Nianyan's empty eyes moved, and he slowly turned his head, and the scarred face fell into the sight of the two of them.
The man suddenly looked disgusted.
Xin Nianyan's heart couldn't help but throb, and she spoke slowly, her voice hoarse, but not unpleasant: "What are you... doing here?"
A smile appeared on Xin Rou'er's lips, she stepped forward and said with pretense of distress: "Sister, of course we are here to see you. I didn't expect that the dignified eldest lady of the Xin family would end up like this. Alas."
Xin Nianyan's eyes burst out with a deep chill, staring at Xin Rou'er like a demon from hell: "Isn't it you who caused me to end up like this?"
"Xin Rou'er, you seduced my sister's husband and brought her to such a state, aren't you afraid of being laughed at and reviled by the world?"
"Hehehe..." Xin Rouer covered her mouth and laughed sweetly: "Sister, sister, how can this be called seduction? My sister and Your Majesty are in love with each other. It should be my sister who stole my sister's sweetheart."
"Sister, don't you know? The reason why His Majesty married you was just to get the support of the Duke's Palace. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, Sister, do you think you are still useful?"
Xin Nianyan's pupils shrank suddenly and she looked at the man in the golden dragon robe in disbelief.
"You...have been lying to me from the beginning?"
This man was once a high-ranking prince, but after she returned to Beijing, he began to pursue her fiercely. He fell in love with her at first sight and liked her free and easy simplicity.
Hahahaha... Simple, then she is really simple.
From the beginning to the end, I didn't see his thoughts. I really simply thought that he was different from those young ladies from aristocratic families, and would not dislike her who grew up in the countryside and was known as her nemesis.
Sure enough, when the man met Xin Nianyan's eyes again, he didn't feel any guilt at all, but was filled with disgust.
"If I don't lie to you, if I don't coax you with those sweet words, how can I make you fall in love with me wholeheartedly?" His voice was so cold that there was no emotion at all: "How can I make the Protector of the Country support me?"
The Duke Protector's Mansion is Xin Nianyan's maternal family. Since she returned to Beijing, she has doted on her in every possible way and transferred all her love for her daughter to her.
And the Duke Protector's Office never took sides in the dispute over the prince's succession, and only supported the emperor.
But after she got engaged to the prince Qin Yan, Qin Yan asked her to go to her grandfather's house to speak to him again and again. Gradually, the renter's family came to Qin Yan's side.
Successfully put him on the throne.
I never expected, I never expected, that the person holding me up would be a wolf-hearted thing!
"Aren't you afraid that the Duke's government will cause trouble for you?" Xin Nianyan asked angrily.
Qin Yan just sneered: "I am the emperor now, why are I still afraid of his small palace?"
Xin Rou'er kindly reminded: "Sister, you don't know yet. News came from the border that the Protector of the State had rebelled, and everyone in the Duke's mansion had been beheaded. The Protector of the State had also probably been killed on the way back.
After being beheaded, the head has probably been sent to the capital and is about to be hung on the city wall."
"That is to say, sister, you don't have to think about the Duke's mansion avenging you anymore. You are now the only bloodline of the Chen family, but..." Xin Rouer covered her mouth again and laughed, her face full of regret:
"I'm afraid your only bloodline will be cut off."
"You..." Xin Nianyan's eyes widened in disbelief. She was so shocked that she spat out a mouthful of blood, and she suddenly fell to the ground with the strength left in her body.
"Qin Yan, you are so cruel!" Xin Nianyan's eyes were red, staring at the superior man, gritting her teeth, every word, every word seemed to tear Qin Yan's flesh and blood into pieces,
"Qin Yan, Xin Rou'er, you will definitely die badly!"
"Hey, we have to die well, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, sister." Xin Rou'er shook her head and squatted down in front of Xin Nianyan: "Sister, these eyes are so profitable."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night when she looks at me like this." Xin Rouer turned around and said to Qin Yan aggrievedly.
Qin Yan said indifferently: "Then dig it for her, come here."
A guard walked in, and at Qin Yan's instruction, he drew the sword in his hand and pointed it at Xin Nianyan's eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Xin Rouer was so frightened that she quickly got into Qin Yan's arms.
"ah--"
A shrill scream sounded, and the guard raised his sword and dropped it. Xin Nianyan's two eyeballs were gouged out and rolled to the ground.
Blood flowed all over her scarred face, and because her hand tendons and hamstrings were severed, she couldn't even cover it.
"Ah - Xin Rou'er, Qin Yan, you must not die well, you must not die well!!"
Qin Yan was afraid that Xin Rouer would be frightened, so he hugged her and left.
Hearing the cursed scream coming from behind, Xin Rouer raised the corners of her mouth and snuggled tightly into Qin Yan's arms.
"Your Majesty, it's really painful for my sister to be like this. I really can't bear it. How about we give her a break?"
Qin Yan's voice was gentle: "Okay."
So that night, a fire broke out in the cold palace. Xin Nianyan, who was deeply trapped in the fire, felt that the surroundings were getting hotter and hotter. She didn't realize what had happened until the fire burned her body.
She screamed in the sky full of fire: "Qin Yan, Xin Rou'er, you have to die a good death, even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go!!"
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened by the screams that they became stiff and trembling.
In the second year after the new emperor ascended the throne, Queen Xin passed away!
Concubine Xin was named queen!

"Miss, miss..."
Xin Nianyan was awakened by a familiar voice, and her head felt dizzy. As soon as she opened her eyes, a familiar face appeared in front of her, and she was stunned.
"Little candle?"
"Miss, you're awake. My wife and the second lady are here to see you. Do you want to get up?" Xiaozhu asked with concern.
Xin Nianyan was stunned for a long time. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw two women walking in.
"Sister, I heard that you injured your forehead, are you okay?"
Hearing this voice that seemed to be engraved in her bones, Xin Nianyan was startled and turned to her with sharp eyes.
