The new emperor ascends to the throne, changes the era name to Tianyuan, and makes Su Princess-Consort as the empress.
In the second year of Tianyuan, the father of Empress Su, Linjiang Marquis who had served four emperors, passed away.
Tianyuan Year 3, June.
Empress Su was abolished, and she lived separately in Qingxiang Palace, known as the Pure and Serene Celibate. Zhang Concubine was promoted to the position of empress.
Tianyuan Year 3, July.
The emperor issued an edict to seize the Linjiang Marquis' Mansion, and the entire Su family was imprisoned, with over ten people dying of hunger in prison.
The Su family's eldest brother, Linjiang Marquis, committed suicide in prison. Before his death, he wrote a letter in blood. The imperial court was shaken by this news. The emperor reluctantly changed the Su family's verdict to exile.
July 13, Qingmio Palace.
The palace was filled with the smell of incense and candles, which was irritating and unpleasant. Servants holding plates with white silk.
Empress Su, the Pure and Serene Celibate, asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"
The emperor agreed to see her before she died.
Empress Zhang mocked, "Sister... Oh, this lowly foot now still thinks of the emperor? But the emperor promised me he would never see you again."
Her smile was filled with contempt. No matter how hard Su Jun tried, the emperor would never look at her again.
What heroines they all are, but they are all defeated by her.
Su Jun replied indifferently, "It's a pity."
At this point, she has completely seen through the emperor's true face of harshness and meanness.
She wanted to see the emperor one last time, not to ask the emperor to spare the Su family, but she knew that pleading was useless.
Su Jun just wants to kill the emperor!
Let the emperor make up for the lives of the more than ten people in the Su family who starved to death, as well as all those who would die in exile on the road!
Unfortunately, all of this was disrupted by the Zhang family.
The prepared Unforgettable Fragrance can only be wasted on the Zhang family.
Empress Zhang could not bear to see Su Jun in such a state. She wanted to see Su Jun crying and pleading for mercy, kneeling at her feet.
Empress Zhang appraised everything in the palace, from the sandalwood tables and chairs, South Sea pearls, to the green jade screens... Even at this time, Su Jun was still using top-of-the-line items.
This reminded her of the humiliating times when she used to bow and kneel before Su Jun.
Empress Zhang's face twisted. How could this be? How could Su Jun still enjoy these things at a time like this?
She let go of the handkerchief covering her nose, deeply inhaled the pungent smell of incense and candles, and said, "This scent is exquisite; it's especially suitable for an abolished empress!"
Empress Zhang's words became increasingly poisonous, and Su Jun looked at the incense burner and deliberately delayed the time.
Empress Zhang: "You still don't know? Half an hour ago, the emperor ordered Su Shaoxian to be exhumed and beheaded."
Su Jun's body shook, and she said, "Impossible!"
Her father had served four emperors and was praised by Shizong as a subject of the realm. He had supported the previous emperor in consolidating his throne and devoted himself to the peace and prosperity of the world.
After his death, he was buried with the previous emperor. How could the emperor dare to do such a thing?
At the very least, this would disturb the previous emperor.
Empress Zhang's smile was filled with unadulterated malice as she said, "The prince always cries. The emperor, please have the master calculate, it is the ghost of the criminal Su Shaoxian after death that curses the prince."
Su Jin's blood and qi surged, her face turned reddish, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
She originally thought that there was nothing left to lose, but she never expected the emperor to be even crueler!
She hated Zhang for her relentless pursuit of power, and more so, she hated the emperor's animalistic behavior!
Su Jun: "Why?"
Empress Zhang: "Of course, because you are the protagonist."
To win the favor of the male protagonist, kill the female protagonist, and fully mark this world.
Moreover, Empress Zhang is deeply envious of Su Jin. At this point, there is even a prince willing to die for her!
Su Jun didn't understand that sentence, but she no longer needed to understand it.
The effect of the Unforgettable Fragrance took place, and the maid holding the tray fell to the ground, staining the white silk with dust.
Empress Zhang collapsed on the ground, seeing Su Jin raising the dagger as it moved closer. She had an unmasked fear in her eyes. She cried and pleaded, "Please, spare me. Think of the Su family... Your Majesty will not spare us..."
Su Jun stabbed her with each stroke, the blood soaked her fair face, blurring her vision with tears.
The Su family?
The emperor never would have let the Su family off.
Su Jun experienced extreme pain in her abdomen. There was no antidote for the Unforgettable Fragrance, so she just took a drug that delayed the onset.
Su Jun staggered out of the hall, the cold raindrops hitting her face.
It turns out it's raining.
Under the dark sky, there was a dark figure. It wasn't until that person hugged her that Su Jun realized it wasn't her illusion, but a real person.
Su Jun: "How did you come here?"
Prince Qi: "I'll take you away."
Su Jun was coughing blood as she said this, "Don't worry about me, I used the Unforgettable Fragrance. It's a trap, you have to run quickly."
Prince Qi wiped the bloodstains from her lips with trembling hands and whispered gently, "Okay, I'm going to take you away."
Su Jin awoke to find herself in a valley, where the rain was pouring down even harder.
There are so many people...
Chopping sounds mixed together, and the rain mixed with blood splashed on Su Jin's robe.
Under a dense rain of arrows, Prince Qi protected her well, but he was pierced like a sieve, and his blood soaked through her clothes.
Su Jin's consciousness was vague, her breath thin, "You shouldn't have come."
Prince Qi is the third brother of the emperor, who commands the northern frontier and is undefeated in battle.
After the emperor ascended to the throne, he acted against the will of heaven, and Su Jin sent someone to deliver evidence that poisoned the emperor to Prince Qi.
At this time, Prince Qi shouldn't have come alone to the capital.
The emperor regarded Prince Qi as a thorn in his side and would definitely not let go of the opportunity to kill him.
Prince Qi said weakly, "I have already taken care of everything. The emperor will not be able to rule the land securely."
Su Jin was extremely cold and had completely lost her vision. She spoke in a gasp, "You shouldn't have come."
Why come?
To give away their lives for nothing.
Prince Qi: "I want to see you."
He saw the letter and knew it was a trap, but he had to step into it.
Because he wanted to see Su Jin more than the throne, or a hundred-year life.
He feared that the emperor would really grind her bones to powder, and he feared that if he did not come, he might never see Su Jin again in this life.
It's a pity he still came too late.
According to the original plan, he would divert the pursuers, and his people would take Su Jin away. Unfortunately, he came a step late.
Jinjin has used the Unforgettable Fragrance.
Since so, let's die together.
I can't marry her when alive, but I can die in the same tomb with her.
The men of Prince Qi were coming from afar. In the last moment of his life, he broke the rule he had set for himself.
He bent down to kiss her between her eyebrows.
Su Jin felt hilariously absurd in her heart. Prince Qi liked her, truly laughable. But it was the Crown Prince who asked for her hand in marriage that year.
Prince Qi held the person in his arms tightly. Throughout his life, he had acted boldly, trampling on the rules of the world.
The only thing is, he fiercely guarded his love for Su Jin, lest it damage her reputation.
The only dumb thing Prince Qi did was to voluntarily step into this shoddy trap, losing his life.
But he does not regret it.
Before death, to be able to hold you and see you cry for me is enough, which is better than living to be a hundred years old.
*
An Tai year five, at the hot spring palace, at night.
Su Jin suddenly awoke from her dream, feeling anxious and short of breath, her clothes drenched with cold sweat.
System: "Master, do you believe it? In four years, you will die. Hurry up and kill the Zhang family."
Su Jin: "Is this true or false?"
If it's a dream, it's too realistic, as if she had really lived to Tianyuan year three.
System: "This is the predetermined future. You will receive news tomorrow that the Hu people have surrounded the hot spring palace. This is a dream."
Su Jin: "Fine, I'll wait till tomorrow."
While she said this, in her heart, she actually believed it to be true about ninety percent.
