The North Tang ceremony.
Su Tong wore a red and gold-rimmed phoenix robe, and she was on the 99th level. Her fiery-red phoenix robe was very long, as if it were the most gorgeous color in the world.
"Your Majesty." She was satisfied and sweet, standing at the same peak as the man she loved most in her life.
The overwhelming red eyes made her unable to see the coldness in the man's eyes.
With a whoosh, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere and passed through the chamber. Su Tong lowered her head in disbelief, and the arrow passed through her heart.
"Yuran." Su Tong looked greedily at the majestic man in front of her, and everything went black.
Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear the sounds of soldiers and horses fighting.
"Come on, wake her up!"
A basin of salt water was poured on Su Tong.
Su Tong was so painful that her whole body was twitching. Before she could open her eyes, a whip fell on her.
"Hmm..." Su Tong groaned and narrowed her eyes. The arrowhead on her chest had long been pulled out, and her body was covered with bloody whip wounds. Her gorgeous phoenix robe was stuck to the blood marks, and the salt water splashed on her body, as if she were bitten by tens of thousands of ants. The pain made Su Tong dizzy.
"Cousin... You, you dare to torture me?" Her most trusted cousin was so cruel to her?
She was the Empress!
"Why are you still talking nonsense at this time?" Jiang Yueli sneered with a thorn whip in her hand, and there was a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Su Tong, you have always been pretentious and arrogant. Do you think that you will be trampled by me one day?"
"What do you mean by this?" Su Tong was stunned for a moment. Looking at her cousin, who used to be considerate and thoughtful to her, she did not hide her arrogance and pride at this moment.
Jiang Yueli sneered, with bone-chilling cruelty and hatred in her eyes. "You and I were born to be noble ladies with extraordinary birth destiny, but that old thing only has you in his eyes. All the good things are yours. Why? Is it because you are his granddaughter, while I am just his granddaughter?"
She was unwilling to give up! In terms of appearance and background, she was not inferior to Su Tong. Why did Su Tong have to be superior to her in every aspect?
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the old thing is dead."
"What did you say?"
"I said you were dead. The old guy was so angry that he spat out blood. He was so angry that he died. Hahaha..."
Jiang Yueli laughed wantonly, and every word was like a sharp arrow, piercing through Su Tong's chest.
Her eyes were scarlet, and her breathing was painful. "You, why do you... my grandfather dotes on you so much? For me, my grandfather has never changed..."
Jiang Yueli's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she slapped Su Tong hard in the face with unspeakable ferocity and distortion. "Does he love me? He knew that I wanted to be the Ninth Princess, but he insisted on marrying you to the Ninth Imperial Uncle. No matter how hard I begged him, he was indifferent. Do you think that old thing has never changed?"
"So what if you married the Ninth Emperor's uncle? In the end, you were chased out by the Ninth Emperor's uncle with a letter and a divorce letter. Look at you, you didn't do anything to the enviable Ninth Princess, but insisted on being a stepping stone. You are so stupid to let your cousin say something about you."
"Su Tong, think about it. Who would dare to kill the Empress without His Majesty's permission?"
"Cousin, thank you for giving up the entire Su family and making a wedding dress for me. It's a worthy death for your Su family."
Jiang Yueli smiled enchantingly, and every word she said was like a snake or a scorpion.
The phoenix crown on her head stung Su Tong's eyeballs even more.
It was ridiculous that she regarded this kind of snake scorpion as even closer than her own sister.
Jiang Yueli proudly appreciated Su Tong's pain. She gently moved her feet and stepped on Su Tong's slender fingers.
With a crack, Su Tong's finger bones were all broken.
Her fingers were linked to her heart. Su Tong's face was pale with pain, and her lips had been bitten with blood. Her lips were black. The arrow that hit her was poisonous, but it was far less painful than her heart.
"A song of a phoenix coming to show its beauty in the capital. This pair of hands has been used by me for many years. I'm really a little reluctant to give it up."
Jiang Yueli's lips curled into a smile. She was going to snatch everything from Su Tong. If she couldn't get anything, then she would be ruined.
"Why isn't she dead yet?"
