Xia Xuelian's Ending

Xia Xuelian's appearance has returned to her original state. Zhou Qian sees that she no longer looks like Xue Qing. If her appearance had not changed, she might have been able to survive. But now that he sees her face, Zhou Qian has an urge to tear her to pieces.

When he thought about the days when he thought he was happy and how much he doted on "Qing'er", he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

He walked up to Xia Xuelian with cold eyes, and without raising his hand, he just ordered: "Twenty slaps every day!"

Xiaoqing slapped Xia Xuelian every day. The crisp sound of the slaps echoed in the cold palace, which was frightening.

Nanny Li knelt beside him, her face full of fear, but she dared not speak out to stop him. Every day, the eunuchs around the emperor would come to the cold palace, quietly watching Xiaoqing punish Xia Xuelian, and then go back to report to Zhou Qian.

In the cold palace, Xia Xuelian's cheeks were swollen and her eyes were full of despair and anger.

"Xiaoqing, how dare you treat me like this! When I get out one day, I will tear you into pieces!" Xia Xuelian roared.

Xiao Qing was not afraid at all and sneered, "Do you think you still have a chance to get out? Queen, you are now a prisoner, so stop daydreaming."

Xia Xuelian never imagined that the person who betrayed her the fastest was Xiaoqing, whom she had always trusted the most. She was the one she bought herself!

Nanny Li trembled and said, "Miss Xiaoqing, please spare the queen. She has been punished, please don't torture her anymore."

Xiaoqing glanced at Nanny Li and said, "Humph, if she hadn't done so many evil things, she wouldn't have ended up like this. This is what she deserves."

He originally wanted to follow Xia Xuelian to a good place, but he didn't expect that not only did he fail to give her a good future, but he ended up in the cold palace, eating moldy and smelly meals every day and doing the most tiring and dirty work.

What's more, she had either beaten or scolded her before, and she had seen Xia Xuelian's most hypocritical side.

Now that the relationship has finally been torn apart, since we're all going to die, we might as well make it a little easier.

Xia Xuelian said viciously: "As long as the emperor does not issue an order to abolish my position as queen, I will be the queen of Da Zhou! One day I will make you live a life worse than death!!!"

Xiao Qing snorted coldly: "Do you think that the emperor still has feelings for you by not abolishing your position as queen? Wake up! You clearly know that you are just a substitute, and now you are not even a substitute!"

Xia Xuelian knew how serious her sin was, but she always held on to a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She hoped that the emperor still had some feelings for her, and perhaps would let her out of the cold palace for Xia Xueqing's sake.

As the days passed, she became more and more disappointed with the emperor.

At the same time, Zhou Qian stayed at Xia Liyun's place every day. Xia Liyun was gentle and considerate, which made Zhou Qian find a little comfort after the exhaustion of government affairs.

There were rumors in the palace that the queen had fallen out of favor and Xia Liyun would become the queen sooner or later. However, even though Xia Xuelian was thrown into prison, the position of queen was still not abolished. This filled everyone with doubts and speculations.

One day, Zhou Qian and Xia Liyun were walking in the palace.

"Princess Xia, do you think I should abolish the queen's position?" Zhou Qian asked.

Xia Liyun lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, this matter is entirely up to Your Majesty. I dare not speak rashly."

Zhou Qian looked at him coldly and said, "Xia Xuelian has committed many crimes, but I have never made up my mind to abolish her position as queen because of our old friendship."

Xia Liyun gently held Zhou Qian's hand and said, "Your Majesty is kind, and I understand your difficulties. But no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

The third prince was imprisoned in the cold palace, stripped of his title, and demoted to a commoner because he molested Concubine Chen at a palace banquet.

The third prince roared angrily in the cold palace.

"Zhou Qian, how dare you treat me like this! I don't accept it! I am the most qualified person to inherit the throne!" the third prince shouted.

Beside him, several eunuchs looked at him expressionlessly, unmoved.

In the second year of Zhou Qian's accession to the throne, the third prince's accomplices were cleared out.

Zhou Qian looked at the civil and military officials in the court and felt relieved. No one had any doubts about him anymore, and the weight on his heart finally fell to the ground.

In the court, Zhou Qian looked at the ministers majestically.

"Now, the third prince's accomplices have been eliminated. I hope that all of you can work together for the prosperity of our country." Zhou Qian said.

All the ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Emperor!"

Zhou Qian nodded slightly, a relieved smile on his face.

He knew that his rule had finally stabilized and the country would usher in new developments. However, he still had a trace of concern in his heart.

That was Xia Xueqing, the woman who had once moved his heart. He didn't know where she was now or whether she was doing well. But he knew that he had lost her and could never get her back.
