Wind and rain intertwined, raging thunder rolled, and a flash of lightning burst out a dazzling white light, illuminating the beautiful face that had been tortured to a deathly white in the cold palace in the middle of the night.

"Xiao Luobing, aren't you the number one genius of South Zhao Country? How come you are reduced to a piece of trash now? But to tell you the truth, it makes me more happy to see you like this than to kill you directly!"

South Zhao Country's new empress, Bai Xiaoning, clad in a phoenix gown, joyfully mocked.

Xiao Luobing's hair was dishevelled, her lips were chapped, her face was covered with criss-crossed whip marks, and her body was already mangled beyond recognition by the whip soaked in hot chili oil.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and on the day she was crowned empress, her father, the Great General Xiao Jingtian, was investigated for colluding with the enemy; the new emperor ordered her entire family exiled to the borderland.

In less than a day, she was deposed from the position of empress and was thrown into this cold palace.

On the other hand, this woman— her best friend, Bai Xiaoning— was conferred as the new empress the next day.

Xiao Luobing was the queen of mercenaries in the modern era. She died in a plane crash and was reborn as a baby in another world. She spent eighteen years safely on this continent with a new ident.i.ty. However, men lost their footing and horses stumbled. In the end, her best friend and her husband conspired to frame her. What a defeat!

"Bai Xiaoning, I really don't understand why you hate me so much."

Bai Xiaoning clasped her chin with resentment plastered on her face, "You want to know why? Because even though I'm prettier than you, I always end up looking like a foil in all respects whenever I'm with you! You robbed me of the t.i.tle of the number one genius! Even the rare opportunity to become the Ghost Doctor's disciple was taken away by you! If I hadn't known the emperor beforehand, I'm afraid you would have s.n.a.t.c.hed him from me, too! Don't you like pretending to be n.o.ble and virtuous, huh? The number one genius? Now you're not even as good as a loser! Do you know why the emperor never touched you? He wants to marry your father's army, not you! I'm the one he loves! I will live a long time and enjoy the splendor that originally belonged to you!"

As a modern person, she admired the acting skills of this pair of men and women very much. They were truly talented.

Xiao Luobing sneered, "Don't call it pretending to be n.o.ble and virtuous; I just don't like to argue with dogs. You will certainly live for a long time, because even the king of h.e.l.l would be disgusted to take you in! You think you're beautiful? Can you even compare to your sister? But don't worry, your scorpion-like heart is second to none, so you are absolutely certain to win this game!"

When Xiao Luobing felt that her chin was about to be crushed, Bai Xiaoning suddenly pushed her away, after which Bai Xiaoning took out a brocade handkerchief from her wide sleeve, leaned on the ground, and carefully rubbed the cuts on Xiao Luobing's face with the handkerchief.

Seeing the slender figure that appeared at the door, Xiao Luobing smiled mockingly at Bai Xiaoning and whispered to her, "Your appearance right now makes people sick."

Bai Xiaoning looked at her viciously, but right now she had to put up with it.

"Ning'er, get up!" Han Shaoling stepped forward and worriedly picked up his new empress.

The young emperor was dressed in dragon robes, which made him look mighty and heroic. He was still as incomparably handsome as before, but he looked so unfamiliar to Xiao Luobing right now.

"Ning'er can't bear to see Luobing being tortured like this. Please spare her, your Majesty." At this moment, Bai Xiaoning's tearful eyes looked hazy, as if the cruelty she displayed just now were an illusion.

"Don't cry. We know what to do. Go back and wait for Us. Be good." Han Shaoling coaxed Bai Xiaoning back to the palace to have a rest, not wanting to frighten his beloved woman with all the cruelty that would follow.

Before leaving, the empress, with grandeur and elegance, looked down upon this old enemy of her life, looking proud of herself for being the one to prevail in the end.

Han Shaoling looked askance at Xiao Luobing, who resembled neither a person nor a ghost as she faced the ground, and said, "Today, We have come to tell you personally that the treacherous Xiao Family met a band of bandits on the way of their exile, and not one of them has survived!"

Xiao Luobing was stupefied at first when she heard these words. Then she burst out laughing.

Colluding with the enemy? Met bandits on the way? Everything was all f*cking bulls.h.i.+t!

The Xiao Family had helped Han Shaoling become the emperor. This was clearly his crafty plot to block these people's mouths for good!
