Chapter 6 — That Year's Snow Buried the Royal Dynasty

Co Truong Phong saw that. Quickly stood up to reconcile:

“The Queen Mother, Your Highness is very filial, not to mention this wine has been tested by eunuchs for poison, it should be fine.”

“Today is a day of great joy, so please drink, so that the king and his wife can rest assured.”

The Queen Mother respected Co Truong Phong and took a sip.

"If it was Truong Phong who spoke, who would give you this face?"

The Queen Mother tilted her head. Take a sip. All eyes were focused on that moment. Just as the wine had just flowed down her neck— The cup of wine in the Queen Mother's hand fell to the ground. She suddenly clutched her chest. His face instantly turned purple. There was a strange "crackling" sound in his throat. Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of black blood spurted out!

“It's poisonous... there's poison in the wine!”

The whole hall was in chaos.

“Price protection! Price protection!” I screamed and threw myself into Tieu Canh's arms.

"Your Majesty! Someone wants to harm the Queen Mother! Someone poisoned the wine!"

All eyes immediately turned to me. Anyway, I offer the wine. Co Truong Phong was also stunned. At this moment— The Queen Mother's confidant midwife suddenly pointed straight at Co Truong Phong and screamed mournfully:

"Master! It's you! This old slave saw you touching the wine jar with his own eyes!"

“You said that the Queen Mother won't die when she's old, and wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill the emperor, make the Princess a puppet, and herself to be the regent!”

This dirty water basin fits each joint perfectly. The midwife is my person—if she wants to live, she can only bite Co Truong Phong to death. Tieu Canh had been waiting for this exact moment. He slammed the table and stood up.

"Co Truong Phong! You are so bold! You dare to kill the Queen Mother and plot to usurp the throne!"

"I usually don't mistreat you, but you're so ambitious!"

"Where are you? Catch me! Kill without mercy!"

Hundreds of soldiers were waiting in ambush from all four directions. Co Truong Phong could not argue with a hundred mouths. Finally he realized he fell into a huge trap.

"Your Majesty! It's unjust! It's the Imperial Concubine! It's this bastard who harmed me!"

I cringed in Tieu Canh's heart.

"Master... how can you say that? Obviously you... you said that as long as the Queen Mother is dead, there will be no one to hinder us..."

"You also said that the emperor is just a piece of trash..."

"You bastard! Shut up!"

Co Truong Phong was crazy, pulled out his sword and roared, "Generals, listen to orders! The emperor kisses the king, the demon concubine harms the country, follow me to monitor the army!" However. In response, he only gave a few confidants. The imperial guard team that he was proud of... never appeared. Because the military talisman was swapped by me a long time ago. Co Truong Phong desperately rushed towards the king, but was pierced by countless long spears, kneeling in a pool of blood. Before he died, he stared at me. I stood high up and used my mouth to say three words to him: "Go and die."

The Co family has collapsed. The Queen Mother is dead. The entire capital was bathed in blood. Tieu Canh finally regained the power he always dreamed of. After regaining his power, Tieu Canh was so happy that he hugged me and spun me around in the royal study.

"My dear concubine! You are truly my blessing! I want to make you queen! I want you to become the most noble woman in the world!"

I smiled and obediently leaned into his arms. Fingertips drew circles on his chest. But his gaze went over his shoulder, looking out the window—snow was falling.

“Your Majesty, Co Although Truong Phong is dead, the legacy of the Co family still remains."

"Especially the one with the Lieu family, I heard that she was pregnant with Co Truong Phong's heir..."

Tieu Canh waved his hand.

“Kill! Kill them all! Weeds must be pulled up by the roots! The nine clans of the Co family, not even one person will be spared!”

The day the Imperial Palace's assets were confiscated, I made a special trip. The palace used to be bustling with carriages and horses. Now only a piece of destruction remains. There were cries and pleas everywhere. When Lieu Nhi was dragged out. It no longer had a human shape. Because of using "Ngoc Co Cao" for a long time, its face has completely rotted. The bones were exposed, white and murky, and had a foul smell. Only the belly is still high and protruding. See me. It still wanted to pounce and bite me.

“You bastard! It's you! It's all your fault! I want to kill you!”

I told someone to hold it tight. Nail it into the snow. I said bring a pair of rusty scissors. And a kettle of boiling water.

“Lieu Nhi, do you still remember?”

I squatted down. Put your lips close to his ear and say softly:

“How was Uyen Uyen's fingernails when you ordered someone to pull out her nails? How did you bully her?

Liu Nhi's whole body stiffened. She panicked and widened her eyes, leaving only the whites:

“What... what do you want to do? I am a pregnant woman… I have a child…!”

“Don't be afraid.”

I reached out and caressed her belly.

“I just want you to taste… the feeling of losing everything.”

I stood up. Give the scissors to the eunuch next to you.

“Pluck its nails, one by one. We have to be slow, we have to let it see clearly.”

“Then, pour in this kettle of boiling water.”

“Finally… cut its stomach open. I want to see if someone with such a black heart gives birth to a child... is it also black?"

“Ah…!!!”

Not long after, an ear-splitting scream echoed throughout the Co Palace. Even louder than Uyen Uyen's cry that day. I sat on the monk's chair. Bring a cup of hot tea. Quietly looking at everything. Blood stained the snow red.
