The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 145 Let her go

The emperor's hand lingered on my body, and I felt as if I was being suffocated by a poisonous snake.

He twisted Jiang Shiwan's chin with his big hand and stared at her for a moment, then his eyes were filled with unfathomable meaning.

Just as his lips were about to fall, Jiang Shiwan suddenly raised one hand.

With a "beep", the red hairpin in her hand was thrown to the ground by the emperor.

The emperor slapped her in the face. Jiang Shiwan felt dizzy and fell to the ground, covering her cheek and staring at him coldly.

"Bitch!" The emperor pointed at her in shock, "You really have ulterior motives towards me! Tell me! Why did you dare to kill the king!"

The king looked down upon the woman at his feet with contempt.

In their eyes, everything in the world is like an ant, right?

A gust of wind blew, and Jiang Shiwan saw the pictures in the album being blown away page by page, and the memories representing humiliation and pain swept in again.

The former emperor was extremely licentious. Not only did he take possession of his own mother, he also listened to slander and asked a painter to paint a disgusting picture of him.

My mother's life was worse than death, and my father was stabbed in the back.

It was such a great humiliation that the mother eventually died.

The one who suffered the most was my father. His wrists were covered with scars from self-harm. I don’t know how he managed to get through so many days and nights.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiwan shed tears and hated the emperor: "You are a tyrant! You took my wife and indulged in debauchery! You forced my mother to commit suicide, framed my father and put him in prison until he died, and even murdered my brother. You destroyed my family, so why should I be afraid of killing the emperor!"

He had never expected such heart-breaking words to come out of a woman's mouth. His Majesty's face instantly turned dark blue: "You know Jiang Shinian is a descendant of the Dragon, not your brother from the same father and mother. Why are you still protecting him like this?"

Not sure if it was because of nervousness or anger, Jiang Shiwan felt his heart beating rapidly.

"It was the sin committed by the previous emperor, and you actually want Xiaonian to bear it alone! This shows how unfaithful the royal family is!"

The emperor didn't care: "The whole world belongs to the king. It is normal for a king to take a fancy to a woman and take her for his own use.

It was your mother who had a strong temper and would rather die than obey. She insisted on returning to the Jiang family and endured all those rumors for nothing.

If Jiang Shinian was born in the palace, as his elder brother, I might not have given him a chance to survive."

Jiang Shiwan roared, "Doesn't my mother have her own blood? She and my father were deeply in love, how could she be willing to enter the palace? You are the ones who went too far first!"

Perhaps it had been too long since anyone had spoken to her like this, and the emperor, in his anger, actually found it somewhat amusing, and approached her step by step: "Jiang Shiwan, you took great pains to get close to Meng Tingzhou, and now you have come all the way back from the northern border, is this just to avenge your parents?"

Jiang Shiwan stared at him closely, feeling as if she had drunk too much and her consciousness was a little fuzzy. She shook her head and asked, "Where did you plant someone?"

"You can use Meng Tingzhou and Song Huaizhi, but can't I plant some spies around them?" The emperor leaned over and grabbed her collar. "Jiang Shiwan, I can't deny that you are smart. You know how to find backers and make these two backers loyal to you. Unfortunately, no matter how capable they are, they can't escape my control."

Jiang Shiwan felt a little confused. She realized that she had been drugged and said, "No, they will be fine."

Looking at her smooth swan-like neck, His Majesty felt a little hot and touched her cheek: "Beauty, then stay by my side and wait and see how these two men will crawl to my side."

He held her in his arms and pulled the collar off her shoulders.

The door of the Garter Hall was knocked open.

Song Huaizhi was standing at the door, wearing armor and holding a sword.

The emperor was not surprised to see him, but narrowed his eyes: "Shouldn't you be inspecting the banquet area at this time?" Song Huaizhi stepped into the palace and saw Jiang Shiwan who was almost fainted, and said: "Let her go."

The emperor looked at Jiang Shiwan and smiled: "If you don't mind, you can enjoy it here."

Song Huaizhi pursed his lips tightly, with a murderous look in his eyes, and slowly drew out his sword.

The emperor loosened his hand, pushed Jiang Shiwan casually, and said calmly: "My dear minister, are you planning to kill the king for this woman?
Or did you have a plan in advance?"

Song Huaizhi stood about ten steps away from him, and the two sides confronted each other.

"The late emperor took possession of Aunt Jiang, and Aunt Jiang wanted to die. It was Uncle Jiang who begged her on his knees again and again not to do anything stupid, so she managed to survive.

Then Jiang Shinian was born, which destroyed the last bit of Aunt Jiang's will.

After her death, Uncle Jiang got drunk all day long, and his sister neglected to discipline her and nearly drowned.

After drowning, she lost some of her memory. Uncle Jiang thought this was a good thing for her, as he would be the only one to bear the pain.

But every night, Meimei would have nightmares, crying for her mother in her dreams.

She didn't lose her memory, she just selectively forgot.

She...had witnessed Aunt Jiang being raped by the late emperor...This was a pain that she could not get rid of."

His Majesty could not understand such pain. He held his forehead with his hand in an impatient manner and said, "So you approached me step by step for this woman just to kill the king?"

Song Huaizhi curled his lips and said, "The Song family was exterminated by the previous emperor. Don't I have a deep hatred for them?"

"You don't know your own limits!" His Majesty said contemptuously, "Song Huaizhi, I'll give you a chance. Let you go out and accept the punishment yourself. Maybe I'll give you a lighter sentence."

Song Huaizhi looked at him and said firmly: "If you want to leave, I will take her with me."

The emperor looked at him and sneered, "It seems that I made the right move. With her, I can restrain you and Meng Tingzhou."

He looked murderous: "Since you ignore my kindness, don't blame me for being rude! Come here!"

Song Huaizhi looked at him: "Your Majesty, the guards are all outside."

The emperor was startled at first, then burst into laughter: "Do you think a mere personal guard can deal with me? Song Huaizhi, are you too confident in yourself or too confident in me?"

There was a flash of swords and sabers outside.

Listening to the screams of his familiar men, Song Huaizhi had already secretly become aware of uneasiness.

The emperor could see his uneasiness and said, "Do you think I will really let that idiot Lu Chong take away all the people in the Ministry of War? No, the best soldiers and generals are safest in my hands!"

Song Huaizhi stopped listening to him and went straight over to pick up Jiang Shiwan.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiwan was still forcing herself to stay awake. When she saw him, she said, "Brother Song, you go first."

He picked her up without hesitation: "Whether it's life or death, I will take you with me."

The emperor thought he was crazy: "Song Huaizhi, you once had the opportunity to become my son-in-law and a favorite minister by my side, but you gave up everything for a woman!"

Song Huaizhi walked outside firmly: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility that I approached the princess and entered the palace to be loyal to you all for her?"
