It was not until the evening of the next day that Bai Yaoyao regained consciousness, and her entire temperament changed drastically.

If she was a player who played games and completed tasks before, living a life of gaming, now Bai Yaoyao has become indifferent and nothing can arouse her interest.

After a whole night of firefighting, the entire west side of the palace was reduced to ashes.

However, it is said to be firefighting, but in fact it is about controlling the fire and preventing it from spreading. When there is nothing to burn, the fire will naturally go out.

In ancient times, large fires were almost impossible to extinguish.

"This house...there's nothing left."

Bai Yaoyao almost didn't recognize her own room, and finally she was able to recognize it by leaning against the old ash tree and the swing.

As for the gold, silver and treasures in the house, they had already been picked up by the soldiers. It would be unreasonable not to get some after getting up in the middle of the night to put out the fire.

"Everything is gone..."

Bai Yaoyao looked at the bare old tree that was almost turned into charcoal. Two tattered ropes were tying a black wooden board.

This is the swing made by Lu'er.

Now it was completely destroyed by the fire, although there were still traces left... Bai Yaoyao walked forward, and with a light touch of her finger, the rope broke, and the wooden board fell to the ground and shattered.

The ambiguous moment in my mind when I was on the swing with Lu'er was also shattered.

"Lu'er...I will definitely avenge you!"

She seldom kills people in these parallel worlds. Only in the martial arts world did she become cold-blooded and ruthless under the influence of her original body. Apart from that, she has never done anything harmful to other people.

But this time...she really couldn't help it.

Bai Yaoyao's eyes were bloodshot. After opening the system panel, she found the three props she had been looking for for a long time.

One can find the person you need at a specific location, another can drop items directly into the air at any place within a hundred miles, and the third is a colorless and odorless poison that will kill any ordinary person who comes into contact with it.

The first two items are both priced at two Atonement Points, while the poison is priced at one Atonement Point.

Bai Yaoyao looked at the discount displayed in the lower right corner of the product and felt a little touched.

"Your system...is not inhumane."

Without any hesitation, after the purchase was completed, as the redemption points were reset to zero, Bai Yaoyao also clicked to use it, and Shi Xin's name appeared in front of her.

"It is you, Concubine Shi."

Bai Yaoyao had some guesses before, but when the name completely appeared in front of her, she finally realized it.

If it was Concubine Shi, everything would make sense. For Concubine Shi, who had held power in the palace for a long time, it would be easy for her to arrange a few people to set fire to the remote west side.

Moreover, this woman was extremely cunning. She deliberately started the fire from Concubine Hua's palace as the source, just to clear herself of suspicion and push the real murderer to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Then he took advantage of the chaos to arrange assassins to kill her, and all this was just to kill her!

How painstaking and vicious!

"Empress Shi, if I remember correctly, you are pregnant, right?"

Bai Yaoyao had no mercy in her heart. If she let Concubine Shi go because of the unborn child, would Lu'er's death be in vain? Would the innocent palace maid to the west also die in vain?

"Empress Shi, if time is not insufficient, I will definitely plan bit by bit, torture you severely, and drive you into the abyss."

There was a constant flash of scarlet in Bai Yaoyao's eyes. If she hadn't heard the system's reminder of the third mission point this morning, she would never have killed Concubine Shi in such a painful way that would only last a few minutes.

"go to hell!"

………………

"You said Bai Yaoyao is still alive?"

Concubine Shi looked a little unhappy. She had clearly started the fire, then sent people to kill Bai Yaoyao in the chaos, and then faked it to look like she was burned to death in the fire. How could she fail?

Could it be that there was something wrong with the person she sent? Or did something unexpected happen?

Just as Concubine Shi was about to ask Huang'er about the specific matters, she suddenly felt an extremely severe pain in her stomach, and she fell to the ground in pain.

Bai Yaoyao directly put the poison into Concubine Shi's stomach, and it started to take effect instantly.

"Ah, my lady, what's wrong with you?"

Huang'er was shocked and rushed over to help the empress up, but before he could react, the empress began to spit blood with a hideous face, and large mouthfuls of black blood kept gushing out of her mouth.

Huang Er was so frightened that he ran out and asked someone to call the imperial physician. At the same time, he turned back to help the empress.

But what she saw in the end was the most unforgettable thing in her life.

The queen actually vomited out all her internal organs!

A strong smell of blood hit her in the face. The internal organs and blood were all dark black, extremely horrifying. When the imperial physician rushed over, Concubine Shi had died along with the fetus in her arms. Her face was extremely hideous before death, and her eyes were bulging, as if she had suffered some horrible torture before death. There was no trace of beauty left on her.

…………

"You said Xin'er is dead?!"

Di Muxi sat up from the bed and rushed over after learning the shocking news. What he saw was Xin'er with a terrifying face.

"Your Majesty, what we have found is that Concubine Shi was most likely poisoned to death, but as to what the poison was, we have not yet concluded."

Poisoning?

Thinking of the fire that broke out in Concubine Hua's palace last night, a biting cold instantly rushed to every part of his limbs, and a strong feeling of palpitations came from deep in his heart.

She felt a strong sense of conspiracy quickly enveloping her whole body. Who was it? Who was it that was targeting her, poisoning Concubine Shi, killing her child, burning down Concubine Hua's palace, and finally wanting to kill Bai Yaoyao.

"Who is it, who is it?"

Intense fear and terror swept through her body. As an empress, she felt a little afraid of this position for the first time, and she also began to doubt the power she wielded.

Why did everything she had now feel so useless? It still couldn't bring her enough sense of security. It was like when she was a child, she was like a clay doll, being kneaded by anyone at will.

"Quick, tell Bai Zhaoyi to come and see you as soon as possible!"

…………

After Bai Yaoyao washed herself and changed her clothes, when she saw Di Muxi again, what she saw was not the empress who was so arrogant and majestic in front of her, but a poor Mu'er who was frightened and afraid of everything around her.

Obviously, Concubine Shi's brainless behavior and the power of her system caused a huge psychological shock to Di Muxi.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see Concubine Shi's death. I heard it was horrible."

Bai Yaoyao was just thinking about it when Di Muxi pulled her over and held her in his arms.

"Yaoyao, you are all I have now. Do you think I can trust you?"

In the huge Kunning Palace, Di Muxi held the beautiful woman in his arms, and the fear in his heart was slightly relieved.

The girl was still in a daze. Then she listened to Di Muxi's voice and tilted her head to look at him. Her beautiful eyes were still lifeless and filled with a deep sense of despair. Di Muxi had a bad premonition at just one glance.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have identified you as my torturer without careful investigation."

The huge changes in the past two days, the loss of his wife and son, made Di Muxi lose the emperor's majesty that could not bring her any sense of security. He humbly admitted his mistakes in front of Bai Yaoyao, and even changed the "朕" he usually liked to use to "I".

The girl slowly reached out and held Di Muxi's hand, and began to write and draw on the palm of her hand.

Di Muxi thought Yaoyao would forgive her, but the next second, the meaning conveyed by her palm made her lips freeze in an instant.

[Your Majesty, didn't you come to me this time to seek my body? ]

What did Yaoyao mean by this? Could it be that she——

A flash of inspiration quickly passed through Di Muxi's mind, as if what Yaoyao said was indeed correct... Every time she went to find her, it seemed that it was just to vent her inner desires. No matter what the original purpose was, the final result was still to play with Yaoyao's body.

Looking at Bai Yaoyao's numb eyes, Di Muxi's eyes felt a little sore. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say until Yaoyao continued to write on her palm.

[Don't you want me? I only have this body now. You like it, right? If I don't do that kind of thing, then what's the point of His Majesty calling me here? ]

As soon as Di Muxi understood what Yaoyao wrote, his pupils contracted instantly. He saw Bai Yaoyao's pure white dress quickly falling to the ground. There was no other clothing inside. She was naked in the hall of Kunning Palace.

The sound of the clothes rustling was very slight, but it sounded like a raging storm to Di Muxi's ears.

"Yaoyao you——"

Di Muxi wanted to pick up the clothes and put them on Yaoyao, but she saw the girl stepping on them with her little feet.

And the little hands in my hands are still writing.

[How is it? Your Majesty used to think that underwear was a nuisance, so this time I deliberately only wore an outer garment. Do you like it? ]

There was no strange look in the girl's beautiful eyes, only an expression that was as it should be, yet particularly numb and lifeless.

A chill rushed up his spine to his brain. Di Muxi stared at the beautiful girl in front of him, trying to find something wrong.

But the more she looked, the more frightened she became. Bai Yaoyao looked like a puppet, without any lifelike vitality.

[Hurry up, Your Majesty, don't you like these the most? ]

The palm of her hand continued to convey Bai Yaoyao's meaning, but the difference this time was that the girl actually took the initiative to pull her other hand and placed it on her exposed chest.

[It's comfortable, this is what you like too]

[Or do you want another position? On the windowsill, on the bed, or on the floor]

Di Muxi gritted her teeth tightly, because Yaoyao's silent words made her feel endless regret and pain in her heart, and her handsome eyes turned blood red.

Yes, what Yaoyao said was right. Some time before the New Year, she had tortured Yaoyao for two weeks just because Bai Yaoyao called her a good friend. During these two weeks, she had not treated Yaoyao as a human being and had indulged in her inner desires in every corner of Kunning Palace.

Regret, deep regret filled her chest.

She regretted it, and believed that it was her responsibility that Yaoyao became like this.

【? Don’t you like it? 】

The girl pulled Di Muxi's other hand and wanted to go to the bed but she didn't pull him. She immediately looked back at Di Muxi in confusion.

[Does your Majesty want anything else? Then my life is the only one left. Your Majesty, take it if you like. ]

After writing these words, the girl stayed beside Di Muxi obediently and stupidly, ignoring the cold air around her, just naked without a single piece of clothing.

"Yaoyao, you misunderstood me."

Di Muxi finally spoke, but for some reason her voice became unclear and unpleasant.

"I know I was wrong now. Let's put the past behind us. Now--"

Before Di Muxi finished speaking, Bai Yaoyao started writing on her palm again.

[Your Majesty, why don't you hurry up? Are you worried that I will not obey you if Lu'er dies? Don't worry, I will be very obedient this time, even if you want to kill me.]

Di Muxi suddenly raised her head and looked at Bai Yaoyao. There was an extremely serious expression on her face, and she was even looking forward to death. At the same time, when she mentioned Lu'er, a morbid smile appeared on her face.

After the biting cold rushed from his lungs to his limbs, Di Muxi finally understood.

It turned out that the casual threats she made caused such great harm to Yaoyao. She, a dark person since childhood, did not understand the deep friendship between Lu'er and Yaoyao at all.

She was wrong, really wrong, completely wrong.

Chapter 4 Ending (13 more chapters in k)

Emptiness and sadness filled the Kunning Palace. The warm light of spring shone into the house through the windows, bright and warm, but unable to dispel the cold air in the house.

Half a month has passed since Lu'er passed away. The winter wind and snow have been carried away by the spring breeze, and the climate is gradually warming up.

The fire incident was also thoroughly investigated by Di Muxi's secret guards. It turned out that the murderer was instructed by Concubine Shi. The entire chain of evidence was very clear and pointed directly at Concubine Shi.

"Did Xin'er do this?"

Di Muxi withdrew his thoughts, glanced at Bai Yaoyao who was sleeping in his arms, and put down the memorial in his hand.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Concubine Shi might really attack Bai Yaoyao. With her personality and the fact that she is pregnant, it is even more difficult for her to control her emotions.

"But how did Concubine Shi die?"

As time went by, the secret guards she personally formed started to investigate. It turned out that the empress with cruel methods and blood on her hands was back, and they gradually unraveled the truth.

"The imperial physician said that he was poisoned with a colorless and odorless poison, but he couldn't find out what the poison was."

Di Muxi suddenly realized that she seemed to have no feelings for Shi Xin, not even for the so-called child.

It was as if she didn't care whether she existed or not. She even began to doubt the meaning of her own existence, as if there was no difference between being alive and being dead.

Anyway, no one in this world cares about her. Everyone wants her dead and greedily eyes the power in her hands.

"Mmm~"

The sleeping girl uttered a sound in her sleep, then slowly woke up. Her long eyelids opened, revealing the same pair of beautiful eyes that were still dull and lifeless.
