Chapter 127 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (53)

The Black Armored Army, so what? The death warriors, so what? Once dead, it’s all over.

When the Imperial Study door was pushed open, De Fu’s lifeless body was seen lying on the ground, a long sword plunged into his chest.

Nie Suzhi’s hair was scattered, looking like a madman, “My Empress, you’ve come!”

“You finally came!”

“You see, he betrayed me, and now he comes back hypocritically, advising me to leave? Saying it’s not too late to repent, to put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha. At this moment, saying these things, who are you saying them to? Hypocrisy! Pretense!”

Bai Tang pointed her long spear at Nie Suzhi, “Nie Suzhi, what are you up to now? All of this today, isn’t it also your own choice? As an emperor, you wouldn’t be oblivious to human nature. If you want the world as a sacrifice—if the world turns against you, becoming a solitary figure—isn’t that an outcome you knew early on?”

Nie Suzhi’s gaze fell on Bai Tang, filled with regret and paranoia, “Empress, if it weren’t for you, I would have succeeded. Why is there always a stumbling block like you? Last life, you prevented me, and this life, here you are again. Next life, the life after next, I hope not to encounter the Empress again.”

Thinking that every time he tried to do something, there was always someone to obstruct him, Nie Suzhi suddenly felt a bit choked.

“Every crime has a perpetrator, every debt has an owner. Seek revenge if you want, I won’t stop you. But if you involve the innocent, I’ll see it through. I haven’t moved my bones for many years, to prevent them from rusting, and I haven’t roamed around for many years. You do evil for a day, and I’ll obstruct you for a day.”

“Then let’s see how long the Empress can stop me!”

Nie Suzhi pulled out the sword from De Fu’s chest and attacked Bai Tang.

The sword clashed with the spear, and Bai Tang’s unpredictable spear technique directly overwhelmed Nie Suzhi.

“I’ve always pitied and disliked people like you the most. Pity for the unfortunate background, inhuman experiences, disgust for your tendency to involve the innocent. I never advise you to let go or console you. You hate others controlling your life and despise your father for humiliating you, your mother for mistreating you, so you oppress people and kill innocent women. Nie Suzhi, I have the utmost contempt for people like you.”

“Do you think I want to be like this? Empress, I had no choice. I’m not insane, not perverse, I can’t survive, and I don’t fit in with the world around me.”

“You do have a choice, you just don’t want it.”

“Empress, how do you know I don’t want it? Well, now I don’t want it. If someone had come earlier and taught me properly, maybe I’d be in a good mood and willing.”

“Nie Suzhi, before I came, I spent two years preparing a gift for you.”

Bai Tang, wielding the red tasseled-spear, stabbed Nie Suzhi’s heart. She smiled gracefully, her blood-stained face haunting and unforgettable.

As distant voices reached her ears, Bai Tang swiftly drew a rope, tightly binding Nie Suzhi. With a decisive pull, she retrieved the red-tasseled spear.

His wound began to heal, and when Ayimu and Wen Yueqing entered the Imperial Study, the wound had completely healed. Nie Suzhi slowly opened his eyes.

“Heh!”

“So, this is the gift…”

It was a cage that had been brought in.

“My Empress intends to imprison me for life, too bad…”

Ayimu and Wen Yueqing looked at Nie Suzhi with great disdain. Sharp-eyed individuals had already noticed the abnormality in the clothing at Nie Suzhi’s chest.

This was… a trace left by a spear piercing through.

The group discreetly examined Bai Tang’s red tasseled-spear, which still dripped with blood.

This…

No one spoke, and there were no further questions.

Bai Tang threw Nie Suzhi into the cage, stuffing a piece of cloth into his mouth to prevent him from saying something he shouldn’t say.

Bai Tang ordered, “Take him away, behead him publicly on a chosen day.”

Bai Tang pressed a certain place, and from that moment, the cage would not be opened. Unless it was a machine from the outside world, it would take at least a hundred years.
