Emperor Sheng An then shouted, "This second arrow is unjust, you are slandering Marquis Zhan Yi, you deserve to be killed!"

"Puff!" Another arrow hit his heart, and blood gushed out immediately.

Xiao Si immediately understood that in Emperor Sheng An's heart, he was not as good as Zhan Yan!

He sneered angrily: "Xiao Ju, you fool, just wait, Zhan Yan, that bastard, will stab you in the back sooner or later!"

Emperor Sheng An did not hesitate any longer and shot the third arrow directly through his throat.

Xiao Si's voice suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhan Yan immediately shouted, "Xiao Si is dead, who dares to rebel?"

The soldiers following Xiao Si were so frightened that they quickly dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty, spare our lives!"

Emperor Sheng An said coldly, "Since you were bewitched by Xiao Si, I will spare your lives. From now on, you will all obey Marquis Zhan Yi. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.

Emperor Sheng An ordered people to drag Xiao Si's body away, and told Li Delu to make sure the garden is clean.

The palace coup ended in just three hours. Outsiders had no idea what happened, but only those who had experienced it could feel the thrill.

Zhan Yan was very busy. He had just taken over the army left by Xiao Si and needed to reorganize it and settle them all down.

After Lin Yiwan treated Emperor Sheng An's wound again, she prepared to return to the Marquis' Mansion first.

However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by an old maid.

She saluted respectfully: "Madam, the Imperial Concubine in the Cold Palace wants you to see her. She is not doing well anymore!"

Lin Yiwan nodded and thought to herself that it was time to see her for the last time.

The wind was howling outside the hall, and inside the hall, it was freezing cold.

Concubine Zhan lay on her back on the bed, her swollen face no longer showing the charm she once had.

She breathed hard, like a worn-out old bellows.

When she saw Lin Yiwan walk in, her eyes suddenly flashed with hope.

She stretched out her hand with difficulty: "Please, save me, I don't want to die yet, I haven't lived enough!"

Lin Yiwan frowned, and scenes from her previous life suddenly appeared in her mind.

At that time, she was imprisoned in the woodshed. When Concubine Zhan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she walked up to her with a smug look on her face. She said arrogantly, "Do you know? I used your dowry to buy a poison on the black market. I poisoned your uncle's legs and forced your grandfather to work for me in the future!"

She was extremely angry at the time. She raised her fist and roared, "Empress Zhan, you deserve to die!"

"Pa!" Concubine Zhan slapped her face hard with her own hand. She said sarcastically, "You bitch, how dare you scold me? If you marry into our mansion, you must create benefits for us. Otherwise, what use are you to us?"

Seeing her chapped lips, Concubine Zhan rolled her eyes.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Look, our Crown Prince's wife must be very thirsty. Nanny Chen, get her some water to moisten her throat!"

Nanny Chen asked cautiously, "My Lady, what kind of water do you want to use?"

Concubine Zhan glared at her and said, "Fool, of course hot water is the best for quenching thirst, especially boiling hot!"

Soon, Nanny Chen came in with a pot.

Concubine Zhan took it in her own hands, pried open her mouth, and poured it down her throat.

She still remembers the ferocious look on her face deeply.

Since then, her throat has been burned.

This was also the reason why she was unable to defend herself when Zhan Yu and Old Madam Zhan later slandered her.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yiwan remained silent for too long that Concubine Zhan gradually lost her patience.

She gritted her teeth and accused, "Lin Yiwan, didn't you promise me that as long as I put the blame on Xiao Si, you would help me detoxify and take me out of the cold palace?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "Do you think this premature aging powder is so easy to cure? You're already in your twilight years!"

Concubine Zhan shook her head vigorously in denial: "Impossible, you lied to me, Xiao Si said that as long as the poison is removed, I will be able to recover as usual!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Si is just lying to you, do you still believe him?"

Concubine Zhan knelt down at her feet, stretched out her hands and grasped the hem of her skirt tightly, begging: "Lin Yiwan, I know I was wrong. I have hurt you before, but it was not my intention. It was my mother who was not satisfied with you as her daughter-in-law, so she forced me to cooperate with her!"

Lin Yiwan pushed her away: "You are so selfish, putting all the blame on a dead person, Your Majesty!"

She demanded in a hoarse voice, "What do you want from me? What's wrong with me just wanting to live? You could have saved me, so why didn't you? What gives you the right?"

Lin Yiwan spread her hands: "Just because I don't want to save you!"

Concubine Zhan's bloodshot eyes were almost spitting fire. She was really furious. How could this bitch go back on her word?

She took a few quick breaths and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the Emperor that you replaced the token in Earl Cheng'en's hand? That wasn't the gold hairpin I gave to Xiao Si at all!"

She thought that Lin Yiwan would be very frightened after she said this.

Unexpectedly, she remained calm and composed.

She said slowly: "Go ahead, I'm not stopping you!"

Concubine Zhan was so angry that her heart felt blocked and she had difficulty breathing. She knew that Lin Yiwan was sure that she would never be able to escape from the cold palace.

She pleaded sadly, "What do I have to do for you to save me? I've done something wrong, but it's not punishable by death. Don't you think you're too cruel?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at her. "Your crime doesn't deserve death. If Zhan Duoer hadn't put on that brocade dress covered in phosphorus powder, would I have been the one burned?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Concubine Zhan's face. She looked away and said, "But aren't you fine now?"

Lin Yiwan scoffed, looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, it's time for the Imperial Concubine to set off!"

Concubine Zhan was delighted. Let’s go?

Did this bitch agree to take her away?

That’s great!

She spoke with difficulty: "Come here, help me pack my things quickly, I want to go on the road with the Marquis' wife!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "No, that road is only for you to take now. Oh, and if you run faster, maybe you can run into Xiao Si. Although you are not husband and wife, you have done husband and wife things. You can go to the underworld together hand in hand!"

"You!" Concubine Zhan was so irritated that she spit out a lot of blood.

Her head tilted to one side, and she was no longer breathing.

Lin Yiwan reached out, patted her clothes, turned around and left quickly.

At this time, she didn't know that many scenes appeared in the mind of the dying Concubine Zhan. She saw Lin Yiwan locked in the woodshed and tortured and humiliated her severely.

Even when she was begging for mercy, she actually brought scalding hot water to destroy her throat.

She finally understood that Lin Yiwan's hatred and resentment towards her had accumulated for two lifetimes.

No wonder my mother and Yu'er didn't have a good end. It turns out they deserved it!

Haha, you deserve it!
