The skies were overcast and the dark clouds was suppressing over the dignified atnificent palace hall was shrouded by the dark clouds as if it was a huge cage, trapping the people inside firmly
In the large chambers, the curtains seemed old as it was covered with a thick layer of dust It was originally a hot weather but one actually felt a little cold Clothes and jewellery were scattered all over the floor as if a calamity had just went by
The fe at the person in front
This female was only in her thirties but her face was like an old women There was deep hostility between her brows, her eyes were as dead as stagnant water and they have see dried well but filled with a bottomless hatred
“Your Ladyshi+p, please” The eunuch beside had a bolt of white silk in his hands and his tone could not hide his impatience, “Zajia still needs to report back to his Majesty on the completion”
Shen Miao’s eyes landed on the eunuch and she re with a hoarse voice, “Xiao Li-zi, when Bengong proong”
The eunuch slightly raised his head arrogantly, “Your Ladyshi+p, the present is different from the past”
“The present is different fro her head for a laugh, “What a good ‘the present is different from the past’!”
Because of a sentence ‘the present is different from the past’, all the servants and courtiers who previously see her would be respectful and let her order them around Because of ‘the present is different from the past’, she ended up with three Chi (1 chi = 1/3 meter) of white silk to end her life The past hat kind of past and when did the present beca from when Mei Furen entered the Palace, fro died tragically on her way to a long distance e? Or was it when she cao?
From the ‘past’ to the ‘present’, from an Empress to a disposed Empress, it was all because of Fu Xiu Yi’s one word! This entire court of officials would then change their looks, this Ming Qi country would reverse black and white! What a good ‘the present is different from the past’!
The doors of the hall squeaked open and a pair of dragon e up, it was a bright yellow robe
“Seeing that you have followed Zhen for twenty years, will grant you with an intact corpse Thank this kindness” The Emperor said

You and I have been husband and wife forto let you down When you first ascended to the throne, it was o into battle and the Xiong Nu came to invade, it was me who help you to write the letter of surrender When you wanted to draw the high ranking officials to your side, it wasthee and suffered torture and pain and what did you reciprocate in return? Mei Furen let Wan Yu get married, you draft the Imperial decree and Wan Yu was only sixteen when she died You favoured Fu Cheng and neglected Fu Ming and the entire court are of it Now you exterminate my entire clan and now that death is near at hand, I will ask you one question Why?”
