C1 Incineration of Jade and Stone

In the era of Qian Yuan.

Chu Nianhe sat inside the pavilion. Her clothes were thin, and her snow-white fingertips caressed a dagger by her pillow. It felt cold to the touch.

Yan Lichen looked at her coldly and taunted, "Empress, do you know what it means to have a sense of propriety?"

A sense of propriety? Chu Nianhe's eyelashes trembled when she heard these two words. She spoke with a sinister tone, "You know what your majesty means. Do you want me to give up on her?"

Yan Lichen snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with disgust.

Emperor Qian Yuan was the sworn brother of her childhood sweetheart, Seventh Prince, whom her father Chu Pingke had nurtured with all his might.

Who knew that his father, who had put in so much effort for him, would be killed on the spot after Yan Lichen ascended to the throne!

If he hadn't sincerely proposed to marry her, why would she have married him? Could it be that she wanted her father to help her husband ascend to the throne?!

His sweet words seemed to be still ringing in his ears: 'Ah Liang, if I ascend to the throne, I will immediately bestow you the title of' Queen '.

A'Liang, only when I ascend to the throne can we be together forever.

Looking back at how they used to be, it was really ironic that they had such deep feelings for each other.

Now, it was too late to say anything.

With Chu Pingke's death, the old, weak, and children of Chu Mansion were sent to the border. Still unsatisfied, Yan Lichen immediately welcomed Chu Nianhe's cousin Shen Xiangyun into the palace as his consort.

He even asked her to give him a spot in the back!

Such humiliation, how could she be willing to accept it!

Chu Nianhe gripped her dagger tightly, her eyes filled with coldness: "Yan Lichen, I won't give up my position! With how heartless you are, why don't you just give me a quick death and let the world know that you can't tolerate your wife and want her to die after crippling her?! "

"You …" The anger in Yan Lichen's eyes was about to ignite her: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you!"

Chu Nianhe's fingernails had already sunk into her palms, and blood was flowing through the gaps of her fingers as she said faintly, "The crafty rabbit has died, and the dog has been cooking. My entire Chu Family has been harmed by you today, how long can you keep me here? Rather than being humiliated like this by you and Shen Xiangyun, why not execute me immediately! It's a pity that my old man, who was loyal in that life, was personally pushed to his death by his own daughter! I am as stupid as a pig! "

Yan Lichen suddenly laughed: "You are indeed stupid, I will take you to see someone now!"

With that, he dragged Chu Nianhe's wrist out of the Intense Flaming Cloud Pavilion.

In the depths of the dungeon, a thick stench of rotting flesh permeated the air. Chu Nianhe had no idea how long she had been following him.

It wasn't until they arrived in front of a small and dilapidated cage that Yan Lichen finally whispered into Chu Nianhe's ear. His voice sounded like a ghost.

"Look, who is that?"

Chu Nianhe frowned as she saw a figure crouching at a corner, seemingly covered in blood.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me!" The voice of the silhouette was indifferent, as if it knew that his death was imminent. "With such a harsh heart, it can be seen that you are truly pitiful."

"Liqing?!" Chu Nianhe's heart beat wildly.

In the cage, Yan Liqing slightly opened his eyes. Under the flickering candlelight, a pair of clear eyes shook her heart.

Yan Liqing was the fourth son of the late emperor. Even though he was usually quiet, he fought for the late emperor. At that time, the late emperor wanted him to be the crown prince and wanted to betroth Nianhe to him.

Chu Nianhe had seen him a few times from afar during the palace banquet, but she could only see his rough outline.

Yan Lichen had once told her with concern that Yan Liqing was a cunning man, and because he had fought on the battlefield for so many years, his actions were rough and barbaric, and he was not her good man.

Did she ever doubt Yan Lichen's words?

Despite her father's opposition, she insisted on marrying Yan Lichen. Chu Pingke had no choice but to support Yan Lichen.

But now …

I actually caused him to become a prisoner!

When Yan Lichen heard Yan Liqing's words, his face twisted in anger! He fiercely grabbed Chu Nianhe's hair and pushed her face against the wet and rusted railing. "Before I die, I have to see the woman I love so that I can be on my way!"

Chu Nianhe shouted in pain. Blood was already flowing down her forehead.

Yan Liqing immediately stood up from the cage and shouted in a deep and sorrowful voice: "This is your wife!"

Saying that, he ignored the wounds all over his body and walked forward like a bolt of lightning to lock Yan Lichen's arm!

Yan Lichen realized that he was already so close to the cage. He was so shocked that his voice changed. He said to the guard at the side, "Quick, kill this thief!"

The guards beside him immediately rushed out, unsheathed their swords and sabers, and aimed straight at Yan Liqing!

It was the first time that Chu Nianhe had looked at this Golden Cloud Martial Immortal at such a close distance. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his bright and spirited eyes were so clear and pure.

Yan Lichen was already scared out of his wits. His voice trembled as he said, "If you dare to hurt me in any way, I'll break her neck immediately!"

Blood flowed down Chu Nianhe's eyelashes, making the dark red corners of her eyes seem even more sad and beautiful.

Yan Liqing looked at her deeply, and before she could say no, he let go.

Upon seeing this, the hidden guard at the side immediately rushed into the cage. With one kick, he kicked Yan Liqing to the ground. As his hand lifted and the knife fell, a bloody smell gushed out!

"Ah!" Chu Nianhe screamed in panic. She didn't even have the time to apologize to him before she watched Yan Liqing's head get beheaded!

Her knees buckled and she dropped to her knees.

A thick smell of blood drifted over, it entered Chu Nianhe's nose, her hands dug into the dirty mud, bit by bit, she walked towards Yan Liqing's knees.

His head rolled to the side and his face was covered in blood, but his expression was one of rare tranquility and ease.

Regret and anger welled up in his heart once more.

Chu Nianhe made up her mind. As she turned around and looked at Yan Lichen, who was brimming with pride, a coquettish expression suddenly appeared on her face.

"Lichen, what is this?" She waved him over with a little wave of her hand.

"Your Majesty, be careful …!" A guard at the side blocked the way.

Yan Lichen frowned and hesitated for a moment before squatting down in front of her.

Chu Nianhe brushed past the corner of Yan Liqing's clothes. When Yan Lichen was looking carefully, she suddenly took out a dagger from her waist and stabbed him in the chest!

Yan Lichen widened his eyes due to the intense pain as he kicked Chu Nianhe's chest.

Chu Nianhe could no longer feel the pain. She looked coldly at the flustered jailer in front of her, then at the blood gushing out from Yan Lichen's chest. She felt as if the fire in her chest had made her very hot.

"Kill her!" Yan Lichen clutched his chest and bellowed, "Kill this wicked woman for me!"

Chu Nianhe sneered and took out an emerald green hairpin from her hair. Her long hair flowed down like a waterfall.

"Yan Lichen, you are not worthy to take my life!"

She was still smiling. Her face was still as charming as before, but a few shallow lines had long climbed up her face due to worry.

Father, mother, Liqing, I have avenged all of you!

Her daughter was unfilial and only wanted to serve her parents in the next life. Liqing, if there really is an afterlife, would you still be willing to marry me?

She opened the jade on the hairpin, raised her head and poured the powder into her mouth.

Chu Nianhe felt a sharp pain in her chest, making it hard for her to hear the surrounding noises. She leaned on Yan Lichen's side, carefully examining his heroic appearance and his towering nose.

As the poison seeped into her internal organs, Chu Nianhe lost consciousness.

In the year 2002, on the second New Year's Eve after Qian Yuan ascended the throne, news of his death spread.

In April the next year, the third son of Emperor Qian Yuan ascended to the throne with the help of a courtier. He was known as Chi Chang Emperor. However, this Emperor Chi Changdi was too much of a slut. After only remaining in the throne for half a year, his head was taken by the leader of the Scarlet Flame Tribe at the border. From then on, two hundred and seventy-five years of history passed.
