I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

In addition, in the later part of the novel, the cause of Chun Yuan's death was revealed and Xuan Ling was about to issue an edict to depose the queen. It was Zhu Chengbi who came in person and suppressed the emperor's anger, preventing him from deposing Yi Xiu.

It can be seen that Zhu Chengbi had the ability to stop all this, but she chose not to do so.

Zhu Yixiu even felt that in Zhu Chengbi's heart, she looked down on the original owner as a concubine's daughter and was unwilling to let her be the queen.

People will eventually be trapped by the things they can't get when they are young.

Because of her status as a concubine's daughter, Zhu Chengbi became a victim of family interests and was forced to enter the palace as a concubine. She lived a very hard life and survived many dangers before becoming the empress dowager.

Perhaps, it was precisely because she had suffered that she didn't want Yixiu to go so easily.

This is a bit like the evil mother-in-law in the feudal era. When she was a young daughter-in-law, she suffered a lot from her mother-in-law. When she became a mother-in-law herself, she didn't let her daughter-in-law have an easy time either.

It was because of this mentality that she turned a blind eye to the plot and murder of Tao and Zhu Rouze, mother and daughter.

Anyway, they are all daughters of the Zhu family, so there is not much difference between Zhu Rouze becoming the queen and Zhu Yixiu becoming the queen.

Zhu Yixiu hated her for this.

She was filled with resentment and hatred, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and unwillingness in her heart.

"Aunt, it was you who allowed me to enter the palace and promised me the throne together with the Emperor, but you went back on your word and turned your back on me. You also tacitly allowed Zhu Rouze to kill my child. How can I not hate you?"

"If you think I'm not worthy, why did you arrange for me to marry the emperor? The Zhu family is prominent. Even if I'm a concubine, I can still find a good family in the court and marry into it as his legal wife in a grand ceremony."

"You dragged me into the cannibalistic harem in order to continue the glory of this damn family, but in the end you broke your word and let Xuan Ling, that bastard, and Zhu Rouze, that bitch, bully me together."

"My unfortunate life and my child's tragic death are all caused by you and your son!"

"You brought this upon yourself. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."

After hearing this endless stream of accusations and complaints, Zhu Chengbi was so stunned that he slumped down on the throne, his lips opening and closing as he murmured, "Retribution! It's really retribution!"

Zhu Yixiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "That's right, it's retribution! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. All those who have wronged me must pay the price!"

Zhu Chengbi smiled sadly: "I never thought that after fighting for my whole life and winning all the women in the harem, I would lose to my own niece in the end!"

Her voice was like a torn piece of cloth, harsh and sharp: "I have let you down, you can kill me or chop me up, I have no regrets, but before I die, I want to ask you for one thing, I hope you can promise me."

Zhu Yixiu knew what she wanted and flatly refused: "You want me to let Xuan Ling, a beast worse than pigs and dogs, go. No way."

Zhu Chengbi said in an almost pleading tone: "You have already taken away his kingdom and destroyed everything he had. For the sake of our blood relationship, please let Ling'er go!"

Zhu Yixiu's face turned gloomy and dark: "Impossible!"

Zhu Chengbi said weakly, "I am dying soon. Let me bear all the sins. Putting aside the love between husband and wife, Xuan Ling is also your cousin. Don't you really have any feelings for us?"

Zhu Yixiu sneered, "Zhu Chengxi is still my biological father, but now he is imprisoned in Renshou Palace by me, and is slapped and humiliated every day. Even my biological father is like this, let alone others."
