"***, have you never thought about why you went to the Kingdom of Wu for a political marriage back then?" Song Siyao asked coldly.

"They're all useless cowards, unable to defeat Wu. A bunch of good-for-nothings, sacrificing me, a woman, to ensure the safety of Great Zhou." *** Recalling those dark and hopeless days in Wu, she wished she could kill everyone in Great Zhou.

Yes, she believes everyone in Da Zhou has lost money because of her.

All the suffering she endured in the Wu Kingdom was perpetrated by the entire Zhou Dynasty.

"wrong!"

Song Siyao did not wait for what *** said.

Some past events need to be brought to light; otherwise, not only *** himself, but perhaps the whole world will think that *** was a victim.

“Back then, in the battle between the Great Zhou and the Wu Kingdom, the Great Zhou should not have lost. The root of the problem lies with you.”

"Back then, you fell in love with my father at first sight and pursued him relentlessly, but to no avail. At that time, the Great Zhou and the Wu Kingdom were at war. In order to take revenge on my father, you framed him, causing him to be unable to go to the battlefield. In the end, the Great Zhou lost the war, and the consequence was that you were sent to marry a foreign ruler."

"After that, the late emperor upheld justice for my father, and my father was able to clear his name. A few years later, you were not doing well in Wu. The Great Zhou sent troops to attack Wu. My father led the troops to fight, defeated Wu, and rescued you."

“***, from beginning to end, my father was the victim, because you are ***. Your joys and sorrows outweigh everything else. You do whatever you want, only care about yourself, are selfish and self-serving, cause a great disaster, and then push the responsibility onto my father.”

“You harbored resentment towards my father, and even though he died for his country, you still didn’t let go of your hatred. You transferred your hatred towards my father onto me. Let’s not talk about the various framing and revenge you’ve done to me before, but let’s talk about the most recent one, the Hengshan bandit suppression case.”

When Song Siyao finished speaking, everyone looked incredulous. The Hengshan bandit case, with its heavy casualties and horrific scenes, was actually related to ***?

***She looked completely unconcerned. She had even openly committed regicide and usurpation, so what else was there that she wouldn't dare admit?

Song Siyao continued, "You had the idea of ​​usurping the throne a long time ago. To seize power, you need men and money. The bandit den in Hengshan is your treasury. They kill and rob on your orders, and all the money goes into your pocket to recruit soldiers and buy horses."

"You want to force me to abdicate, so you have to kill me first."

"You ordered the bandits of Hengshan to kill the officials who were delivering gifts to the Empress Dowager and rob the gifts. The Emperor was furious and sent a prince to suppress the bandits."

"You planted someone by the prince's side, stole the prince's jade pendant and sent it to me. You knew I would definitely go to save the prince."

"In order to kill me and the prince, you did not hesitate to join forces with the leader of Hengshan and set fire to Hengshan, causing hundreds of imperial soldiers to be burned alive. In addition to bandits, there were also innocent people on Hengshan who had never done anything wrong. The fire burned for several days and nights, and thousands of people perished in the fire."

"***, you disregarded human life for your own selfish desires and ambitions. Now, do you still think you are innocent?"

While Song Siyao was speaking, guards brought over the leader of the Hengshan bandit den.

The leader of Hengshan is indeed a member of the Communist Party.

However, the other bandits of Hengshan were unaware of this.

That fire was orchestrated by *** and the gang leader.

That night, Shen Pei led his men up the mountain stronghold, while the chief chief took advantage of the chaos to descend Hengshan.

There were people who had been arranged by the *** at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they saw the leader come down, they set the mountain on fire.

So why, even though the third brother saw the leader that night, his men couldn't find the leader's body on the top of Hengshan Mountain?

To make the entire conspiracy more believable, the leader didn't hesitate to sacrifice everyone in the stronghold, letting them be burned alive.

Despite all her calculations, *** never expected that she would use Shen Pei to lure Song Siyao here and take Song Siyao's life.

But it was precisely this action of hers that saved Shen Pei and the others.

Upon seeing the leader, *** suddenly realized, "So that's where he's been all these days, he's fallen into your hands."

She asked Song Siyao, "Did you start to suspect me because of the Hengshan case?"

“No, a long time ago,” Song Siyao asked, “Does *** still remember Chanyi?”

Chanyi?

A name from a long time ago.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was a long time ago, during the academy's entrance exam, when Wei Hongjin framed Song Siyao for cheating.

It was later confirmed that Wei Hongjin had cheated himself.

It was Chanyi who delivered the test questions to Wei Hongjin at that time.

*** looked utterly incredulous. "Impossible! How could you have started to doubt us back then?"

“***, if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it in the first place. At first, I only had suspicions, but by following the clues, I discovered your ambition and greed,” Song Siyao said.

***, her face full of disdain, glanced at Song Siyao and said, "Song Siyao, so what if you found out? So what if you were prepared? Today, I, Shen Xin, will definitely be the victor!"

Song Si raised an eyebrow. "***, all your men are surrounded, including the reinforcements from outside the palace. They have all been subdued. You have no way to escape now, so you might as well surrender!"

*** was indeed waiting for reinforcements from outside the palace. She waited for a long time but they didn't come, so she guessed that those troops had also been brought under control.

After all, since Song Siyao had already discovered her plan, she must have been prepared in advance.

However, she remained calm and mocked Song Siyao, "Song Siyao, do you think you're the smartest person in the world? This princess can't possibly only have outside help as a backup plan."

As soon as she finished speaking, another cold and sharp voice rang out.

"Put down your swords and stop!"

Consort Zhen held a dagger in her hand, the tip of which was pressed against the Empress Dowager's neck.

She led the Empress Dowager out slowly, looked at Emperor Changlong and said, "Your Majesty, let Consort Wei and Prince Consort Wei leave, or I will kill her!"

"Consort Zhen, I have treated you well, why did you resort to such cruelty? I have always trusted you so much!" The Empress Dowager's face was pale, but having experienced many storms, there was no panic or fear in her eyes.

Consort Zhen snorted coldly, "You've been kind to me? How have you been kind to me? Through your charity? Through your pity? Or through your hypocrisy?"

The Empress Dowager looked surprised. "Consort Zhen, is this how you think of me? In all these years of being sisters with you, I have always been sincere to you and have never been hypocritical."

"Bah! The late emperor always valued you the most. You always take advantage of his favor to pretend to care about me, seemingly sharing his affection with me, but actually you're just here to laugh at me and show off how much the late emperor loved you." Consort Zhen gritted her teeth.

The Empress Dowager was shocked and scolded, "With a mother like you, it's no wonder you raised a daughter like that!"
