Chapter 1:-CONSPIRACY TO KILL

In the DongZe Dynasty .

Yunqi at the end of 31 years.

Emperor Yun Qi died.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky and the world was white. So much so that you couldn’t make the difference between heaven and earth.

It was as if the gods were adding their sorrow to the mourning country. Stop the sprit (keep a coffin in a temporary shelter before burial), starting the scriptures, fasting for seven days. After they enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple .

On the 8th day following Yun Qi Emperor’s death, the Imperial palace became alive once again. Red lanterns and red silk curtains were hanged. Qiong Lou palace was renovated and the heavy and sorrowful atmosphere was quickly replaced by a cheerful one. Celebrating the new Emperor’s ascension.After all, This has always been the case, not to mention, Every Emperor his own favourite ministers. Everyone is planning for their future, especially in this powerful place.

The shadow of the moon was shining upon the iced snow. It was extraordinarily cold.

In the Imperial Harem.

In this cold and silent night, the sound of shackles could be heard clearly. Suddenly chaotic footsteps were heard. Attracting the attention of the two eunuchs which stopped in their tracks.

In Yan Shangong main room, the charcoal braziers were long extinguished, the inside of the house was now as cold as the outside. A delicate woman was sitting there shivering.

Suddenly the heavy doors were open and cold wind came in, violently shaking the candlelight on the table. However, the woman stayed seated slowly lifting her head. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth when she realized who the person entering was.

“The day after tomorrow is the day when Benwang ascended the throne.” The man’s voice was colder than the gust of wind.

The woman’s expression didn’t change at his word. After a long silence, she looked up once again and faintly said “Congratulations”.

“Considering the strength of help you have given me to ascend the nine five supreme (Imperial throne). As long as you drink this soup and destroy the thing in your stomach, the Empress standing next to me the day after tomorrow, it can still be you!” His voice was light but the words were cutting her like a knife.

The woman on the bed sniffed, stared fierce with disdain, and clenched her silver teeth:

“If that’s all Wangye as to say, you may leave. I don’t need to show you the door”.

Her hair fell in front of her face; concealing her expression but you could still guess the proud and dignified air beneath these black curtains.

“I have already told you that this child is yours! What else do you want me to say?!” The woman answered to this provocation.

“This king does not believe you. We have been husband and wife for 3 years, do not force me to give you the medicine!”. Answered the man, while slowly approaching her with a bowl full of dark liquid.

Watching him, An QingRan was tored between grief and hatred “Dong Fang Ye you are so unremarkable”

Hearing her words the man called the servants that were waiting outside. “Come and hold An fei for Benwang! Benwang will personally give An fei the medicine.” At his word, five palace maids came in.

“You dare!” said An QingRan while her gaze swept over the servants. Her proud expression and demeanour stopped the rushing people in their tracks.

DongFang Ye sneered watching this scene. Hearing Kang Wang’s dissatisfaction, the servants didn’t hesitate anymore and restrained An QingRan.

She struggled with all her might, but she was still forced to swallow the bitter concoction. She lied on the bed, feeling intense pain in her stomach. Soon she could feel blood sliding along her legs and her heart stopped. Her child…

She lost consciousness for a moment but, hearing a child crying she tried to open her eyes. In front of her was a woman dressed in vivid colours. The woman dress was hurting her eyes. Even if at that moment nothing could hurt her more than her broken heart.

Focusing her sight, she noticed that the woman was holding 1 year old, almost the spitting image of the man beside her. The young child was crying and pulling the woman clothes but she did not pay any attention to him.

“An YanRan? Is that you? …”

The colorful woman smiled, but she did not give an answer to the woman on the bed. Instead, she addressed the baby in her arm “Son, call your auntie!” She then turned to the man still stand beside the bed “Isn’t that what you said, Kang Wang? Our child should call my Jiejie?”

At those words, An QingRan looked at her step-sister with disbelief “Your son…” the pain in her heart grew even more.

“My dear JieJie it must be hard for you to be so smart. But, how could you not even realize that Kang Wang was in love with me?”

An YanRan face was full of pride, looking at the woman lying on the bed in a pool a blood her life slowing leaving her.

“You …” was the only word that the dying An QingRan was able to pronounce. But the other woman didn’t care at all while she continued her monologue.

“Look at you ! Did you really think that Kang Wang truly loved you?! We have been together for such a long time. Our son is Wangye’s eldest son, the future crown prince. This is why your child can never be born. Do you understand now?”

After saying all this she gave the small child to a maid before slowly walking towards the bed “ JieJie, how could you, one of the four beauty in the capital and the Di daughter of the An General’s mansion end up this ways? Isn’t it because you could not gain your own husband’s love and keep your child?”

An YanRan’s voice could not conceal her pride and disdain each time she called her JieJie

(tn note:JieJie is Elder sister and meimei is younger sister)

An QingRan heart broke a little bit more after each sentence uttered by her ‘meimei’. She looked at the man who stood tall next to the bed calm and unmoving. Was what An YanRan said what he thought?

She was swallowed by despair her child was gone, the man she loved was in reality scum and this sister is really vicious. She was really a failure!

Noticing the despair in An Qing Ran’s eye An YanRan continued her torment enjoying every second of it.

“There is one more thing that you need to know. Kang Wang and I obviously knew that the child in your belly was his.”

At these words, the memory of the incident that brought doubt on her child’s paternity came back in a flash. She slept badly that night, and, upon waking up she discovered a stranger in her bed.

Coincidentally Kang Wang arrived right on time to witness the ȧduŀtery.

An QingRan smiled bitterly, she had accidentally fell into the water, falling made her body had cold problems. She has been unable to pregnant for long time, which she felt sorry towards Kang Wang because couldn’t get pregnant.

Finally had ,but…

An YanRan seemed even more satisfied “There are a few other things that you should know before you die … Like how our father passed away a few days ago. The General’s mansion and his power are now in my brother An MingXuan’s hands. How pitiful, the Di daughter becomes an orphan so suddenly!”

“You” At that moment it seemed like An QingRan’s heart had been dug out, she screamed pointing her finger toward the couple in front of her. Words couldn’t express what she felt and hatred filled her eyes.

While her consciousness was fading, An QingRan swore that, if she could live again she would make them pay! She would protect the one she loved and wouldn’t let anyone step on her like this ever again!

After her vow, her spirit floated out disappearing with the winter wind…
