The woman in black slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face. Chu Ze was very familiar with this face, it was the woman he once loved deeply - Liu Ruyan.

"Ruyan, why?" Chu Ze's voice trembled, looking at the woman in front of him in disbelief. The severe pain in his chest was not even one ten-thousandth of the heartbreak he felt at the moment.

Liu Ruyan's face was expressionless, her eyes were as cold as ice. "Why? Chu Ze, you ask me why? You took away everything from me, ruined my life, and now you ask me why?"

Chu Ze's heart sank suddenly. He knew what Liu Ruyan was referring to. Back then, in order to consolidate his throne, he had to marry the prime minister's daughter, and Liu Ruyan was the lover he had to give up.

"Ruyan, I...I have no choice..." Chu Ze wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

"Involuntarily? What an involuntarily!" Liu Ruyan laughed in anger, "Chu Ze, for the sake of your throne, you can abandon everything, including your previous vows and your former lover!"

Chu Ze was silent. He had nothing to say. Liu Ruyan was right. He had indeed given up too much for the throne.

"Today, I will make you pay with blood!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. She raised the bow and arrow in her hand and aimed it at Chu Ze's throat.

At this critical moment, a feather arrow flew through the air and hit the bow in Liu Ruyan's hand.

Liu Ruyan was startled and quickly turned around to look, only to see a man in white standing not far away with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Who are you?" Liu Ruyan asked coldly.

The man in white smiled slightly and said, "My name is Bai Yunfei. I will help those who are in trouble when I see them."

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "Mind your own business!" After that, she raised the bow and arrow again and aimed at Chu Ze.

Seeing this, Bai Yunfei quickly shot another arrow and hit the bow in Liu Ruyan's hand again.

"Girl, when will the cycle of revenge end? Why don't you just stop now?" Bai Yunfei advised.

Liu Ruyan said angrily: "What does it have to do with you! Today, I must kill Chu Ze!"

Bai Yunfei sighed, "Since the girl is stubborn, don't blame me for being rude." After that, he pulled the bowstring and aimed at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan was not to be outdone. She raised her bow and arrow again and aimed at Bai Yunfei.

The two of them just faced each other like this, neither of them taking the first move.

Chu Ze looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. He didn't expect that a stranger would come to his rescue at his most critical moment.

"Bai Yunfei, thank you for saving my life." Chu Ze said gratefully.

Bai Yunfei smiled slightly, "It's just a small favor, you're welcome."

Liu Ruyan looked at the two of them, with a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't expect Chu Ze would thank her for a stranger.

"Chu Ze, you...you actually treated me like this for an outsider?" Liu Ruyan's voice trembled and her eyes were filled with tears.

Chu Ze was silent. He didn't know how to answer Liu Ruyan's question.

Seeing this, Bai Yunfei quickly said, "Miss, you misunderstood. His Majesty is just grateful for my life-saving grace, and he has no other intentions."

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "I don't care! Today, I must kill Chu Ze!"

After saying that, she raised the bow and arrow again and aimed at Chu Ze.

Seeing this, Bai Yunfei pulled the bowstring again and aimed at Liu Ruyan.

At this moment, a feather arrow flew through the air and hit the bow in Liu Ruyan's hand.

Liu Ruyan was startled and turned around to see a woman in black clothes and a veil standing not far away, holding a bow and arrow in her hand. "Who are you?" Liu Ruyan asked coldly.

The woman in black slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.

"Ruyan, you...you are still alive?" Chu Ze looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

The woman in black turned out to be the queen whom he thought had died long ago—Shen Yue!
Shen Yue looked at Chu Ze coldly, "Yes, I'm still alive. Chu Ze, you didn't expect that I'm still alive!"

"Why...why are you doing this?" Chu Ze asked tremblingly.

Shen Yue sneered, "Why? Chu Ze, you took away everything from me and ruined my life, and now you ask me why?"

Chu Ze's heart sank suddenly. He knew what Shen Yue was referring to. Back then, in order to consolidate his throne, he had to marry the prime minister's daughter, and Shen Yue was the queen he had to give up.

"Shen Yue, I...I have no choice..." Chu Ze wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

"Involuntarily? What an involuntarily!" Shen Yue laughed in anger, "Chu Ze, for the sake of your throne, you can abandon everything, including your previous vows and your former lover!"

Chu Ze was silent. He had nothing to say. Shen Yue was right. He had indeed given up too much for the throne.

Now, his former lover and former queen are both standing against him. How can he feel?
Shen Yue's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Ze's heart. He staggered back a few steps, his face as pale as paper. He wanted to defend himself, wanted to explain, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless.

"You... do you hate me?" Chu Ze's voice trembled with a hint of despair.

Shen Yue looked at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes, "Hate? I no longer hate you. Because hate is also a kind of emotion, and I no longer have any feelings for you."

Chu Ze's heart sank completely, he knew that he had completely lost Shen Yue.

"Why...why did you come back?" Chu Ze asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen Yue sneered, "Come back? I have never left. Over the years, I have been watching you in secret, watching how you step by step towards the abyss."

Chu Ze's body trembled violently. He couldn't believe that Shen Yue had been secretly monitoring him.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?" Chu Ze asked, his eyes full of fear.

Shen Yue did not answer. She slowly raised the bow in her hand and aimed at Chu Ze.

"Shen Yue, don't!" Bai Yunfei shouted hurriedly when he saw this.

Shen Yue ignored Bai Yunfei. She looked at Chu Ze coldly, "Chu Ze, today is the day you die!"

After saying that, she released the bowstring in her hand.

The feather arrow broke through the air and headed straight for Chu Ze's heart.

At the critical moment, Chu Ze instinctively dodged to the side. The arrow grazed his chest, leaving a trace of blood.

Chu Ze covered his chest, his face pale. He didn't expect that Shen Yue actually wanted to kill him.

"Shen Yue, you...you are crazy!" Chu Ze roared.

Shen Yue sneered, "Crazy? That's right, I am crazy! You forced me to do this!"

After saying that, she raised the bow and arrow again and aimed at Chu Ze.

Seeing this, Bai Yunfei quickly shot another arrow, hitting the bow in Shen Yue's hand. (End of this chapter)
