"Bai Mowan, how dare you speak to me like that!" Zhao Mengyu screamed in despair.

A mere daughter of a military family dares to be so disrespectful and rebellious towards her.

Bai Mowan couldn’t care less about Zhao Mengyu’s scolding.

She knew very well that Zhao Mengyu now had no way out.

Whether the emperor wakes up or not, Zhao Mengyu’s death is inevitable.

And she can’t wait to torture her before Zhao Mengyu dies.

Her hatred for Zhao Mengyu is no less than her hatred for Xie Ruiyao.

Back then, deceived by Xiao Jinsen, Zhao Mengyu must have plotted countless schemes behind her, making her follow Xiao Jinsen so blindly that even after she accidentally miscarried and struggled to get pregnant again, Zhao Mengyu forced her to take all sorts of strange remedies!

It was only later that she realized that neither Zhao Mengyu nor Xiao Jinsen ever wanted her to bear a child. The Bai Family was overwhelmingly powerful at the time, and Xiao Jinsen would never allow her to have his child and threaten the throne that he had struggled so hard to obtain.

Aside from the birth control medicine, those so-called remedies were unspeakable, containing carcasses of cockroaches and rats, and even excrement.

Now when she thinks about how she consumed such repulsive food with every meal, she regrets it bitterly.

At this moment, she wishes with all her heart that she could kill Zhao Mengyu.

She said icily without a second thought, her words taunting Zhao Mengyu, "Do you still think you’re the Imperial Concubine? You’re just a prisoner accused of rebellion now!"

"Shut your mouth, Bai Mowan! Who gave you such audacity to insult me like this, to falsely accuse me this way? I will kill you. I will kill you!" Zhao Mengyu screamed in madness, her body convulsing.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.

The two guards restraining Zhao Mengyu forcefully pinned her to the ground, her appearance couldn’t be more wretched.

"Xiao Jinxing, let me go! Let go of me, I’m going to kill Bai Mowan, I will kill Bai Mowan, that insolent bitch!" Zhao Mengyu shrieked.

The whole person was on the verge of insanity.

"Imperial Concubine, can you not accept the fact that Xiao Jinsen has abandoned you?" Bai Mowan continued to mock.

The more she saw Zhao Mengyu like this, the more exhilarated she felt.

All that she had once suffered through.

She could finally start to retaliate, bit by bit.

"You’re spouting nonsense! My son would never leave me behind, he couldn’t possibly abandon me!" Zhao Mengyu completely refused to accept such a reality, frantically retorting, "He will surely come back to kill you all. He will make sure you all die a terrible death!"

"At this point, you’re still in denial. If your son hadn’t abandoned you, why can’t we find him until now? Why have we searched every possible place to no avail in finding any trace of him? Don’t say he’s smart and hiding well; Xun City isn’t that big. So many officials and guards have searched but to no avail. It can only mean that Xiao Jinsen has already fled, left Xun City, and never even considered your wellbeing!"

"Bai Mowan!"

"It’s hard to accept, but that’s the truth! This is the son you’ve raised: cruel, cold-blooded, selfish! And now you finally taste being betrayed by him, this is what you deserve!" Bai Mowan kept provoking.

"My son would not betray me, he wouldn’t!" Zhao Mengyu just couldn’t accept the fact that she was betrayed by her son.

Impossible.

When Xiao Jinsen left, he said he was going to deal with Yuan Wenkang.

He told her to be careful.

He would not just leave like that.

Without any mercy.

"Then tell me, why hasn’t your son come back to save you?" Bai Mowan pressed with forceful questioning, "Why not take you with him?"

Zhao Mengyu was rendered speechless by Bai Mowan’s words.

Why isn’t he coming back to save her?!

Even if he had to leave, he could have taken her with him.

But he left her behind.

Without any concern for her life or death at all.

"Your son has never cared for your life. What he wants is power and benefit; he uses everyone around him, and once they are no longer useful, he discards them coldly, the same goes for you!" Bai Mowan said mercilessly, pushing the truth as far as it could go.

"Enough, Bai Mowan, enough!" Zhao Mengyu’s eyes were red and swollen, tears streaming down her face.

She never thought that one day, she would be plotted against by her own son.

She never imagined dying by his hand.

She had thought that Xiao Zhanping might kill her, but she never doubted Xiao Jinsen.

In her heart, Xiao Jinsen might harm everyone, but he would never harm her.

He would never treat her so heartlessly.

"Imperial Concubine, your current plight is nobody’s fault but your own for not raising your son well!"

"Bai Mowan, shut up, just shut up, I will kill you, I will kill you..." Zhao Mengyu’s uncontrollable emotions were all vented upon Bai Mowan.

Bai Mowan remained indifferent.

Seeing Zhao Mengyu’s extreme distress, she was frighteningly cold.

Even.

Wishing Zhao Mengyu suffered more.

Her end more miserable.

Those who had once harmed her deserved, a terrible death.

"Imperial Concubine has gone mad!" Bai Mowan coldly ordered, "Someone come and gag her, so as not to disturb His Majesty’s rest!"

No one dared to act rashly.

All looked to Xiao Jinxing for a cue.

Xiao Jinxing gave a slight nod.

Only then did someone step forward, using cotton cloth to gag Zhao Mengyu.

Zhao Mengyu could not accept being treated this way, resisting frantically!

And the result of her frantic resistance was that her makeup became completely disheveled.

If just a moment ago she still maintained a hint of an Imperial Concubine’s hauteur.

Now she truly had become, a lunatic.

Utterly disheveled.

The great hall fell suddenly silent without Zhao Mengyu’s screams.

Bai Mowan also barely managed to regain her composure.

She had her reasons to hate Zhao Mengyu.

But no one else knew.

She also did not want to show Xiao Jinxing her most ruthless side.

If Xiao Jinxing wasn’t there.

She would have treated Zhao Mengyu just like she did Xie Ruiyao.

Carving her flesh slice by slice, letting her die in agony.

Now, she had to appear gentle in front of Xiao Jinxing.

To not allow Xiao Jinxing to harbor any prejudice against her.

"Brother Xing." Bai Mowan suddenly approached Xiao Jinxing, her body going limp.

And just like that, she collapsed into Xiao Jinxing’s arms.

Xiao Jinxing quickly caught her, "What’s wrong?"

Bai Mowan’s face was pale.

It was clear to see, she was extremely weak.

"Did you, hurt your wound?" Xiao Jinxing asked anxiously.

"Just now at the Luo Wangfu investigating Prince Luo, due to Xie Ruiyao’s resistance, a conflict broke out." Bai Mowan said, pressing her hand tightly against her abdominal area, "During the conflict, we killed Xie Ruiyao."

"As Xiao Jinsen’s Princess who aided him in committing the crime of treason, she deserved death!" Xiao Jinxing said without any concern.

Bai Mowan knew, Xiao Jinxing would stand by her side unconditionally.

"Brother Xing, my abdomen, it hurts so much." Bai Mowan spoke in excruciating pain.
