Chapter 116 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (42)

Nie Suzhi asked again, “Are all the people arranged?”

“They have been arranged, Your Majesty.”

“Double-check the personnel in each location, be cautious, and don’t let them arouse suspicion.”

A cruel arc curved at the corners of the handsome Emperor’s mouth.

Don’t think that Bai Tang was the only one making preparations— he was also solely focusing on finding Bai Tang.

Tonight, he would meet his good Empress again, and a grand gift awaited her. He hoped the Empress would like it.

When Bai Tang entered the dream at night, she felt a bit surprised. Nie Suzhi, this abnormal Emperor, hadn’t arranged any characters or set any additional scenes for her tonight.

A void space, like a night without stars or a moon.

But Nie Suzhi was not dressed as an emperor. He wore all black, his hair disheveled. Bai Tang’s gaze flickered.

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something unusual.

Was Nie Suzhi planning some big move?

Bai Tang couldn’t guess what Nie Suzhi intended if he didn’t reveal it himself. She casually asked, “Nie Suzhi, are you trying to make yourself look innocent?”

Nie Suzhi didn’t understand. “What does the Empress mean?”

“Don’t call me Empress. I’m not your Empress. Your acknowledgement alone doesn’t count.” Now that they were openly at odds, Bai Tang felt the need to correct him. “Your Majesty, with your all-black attire, I would have thought you are the night itself, if not for that white head of yours… After establishing yourself, please refrain from wandering around at night in black attire. If timid individuals catch sight of you, they might think it’s a floating head in the air. Even if it doesn’t scare people, it’s not good to startle the flowers, plants, and small animals.”

“Heh.” Nie Suzhi chuckled with an ambiguous meaning. “Empress, are you always this gentle toward flowers, plants, and animals?”

Bai Tang shrugged. “Not really. When it comes to things that end up in my stomach, I have to be quick, ruthless, and accurate. Survival, you know? It’s a circle.”

Nie Suzhi leaned closer, a fleeting smile passing through his deep eyes. “Empress, I have prepared a gift for you.”

As expected, there was no good intention behind it.

Bai Tang did not believe that Nie Suzhi could do anything good.

“I dare not accept Your Majesty’s gift, fearing it might be a hot potato.”

“Whether you accept it or not is not for the Empress to decide.” Nie Suzhi turned around, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the breeze. “I really don’t like the Empress. The moment I saw you, I should have straight away killed you without a word more.”

Bai Tang would cause trouble for him, that was a fact. And it turned out that Nie Suzhi’s feelings were not wrong. He couldn’t deduce things about Bai Tang based on common sense.

Bai Tang smiled lightly, “Even if Your Majesty were given another chance to start over, you still couldn’t kill me. The outcome changes because of me. If the chaos in the world was caused by Your Majesty, then the one who will bring it to an end is me. The more you don’t want something, the more I will do it.”

Who made Nie Suzhi stand completely opposite to her? Bai Tang really couldn’t quite understand— wasn’t it said that there was a cause for grievances and a debtor for debts? Then why did everyone want to drag the world down with them to show off their strength? To show off their grievances? Or to show off their deep feelings?

Nie Suzhi’s mouth curved into a cruel arc. “Then let’s see who is faster— me in killing, or the Empress in saving.”

His desire for the world to be in chaos wouldn’t change.

Nie Suzhi leaned closer again and said, “Empress, to be honest, I really want to destroy you. Why aren’t you a hypocrite? What entitles you to be so righteous, to point out all my flaws? And why do you get to have a clean, pure image without going through any hardships, shining so brightly? To ruin you and bring you into my world would be a wonderful thing.”

Bai Tang rolled her eyes. See, Nie Suzhi had never meant well.

“I was not born this way. Nie Suzhi, you only see me as I am now, having experienced the world and reached a state of tranquility.”
