Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"stop!"

A sudden, cold shout drew everyone's attention.

Gong Beige saw Yu Shuyan leading a veiled woman as they slowly emerged from the darkness. She narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to stop Wang An's knife from falling.

Wang An's eyes were full of resentment. Although he put down the knife, his hand was still gripping Fu Qingyu's chin.

Facing Gong Beige's cold gaze and the gleaming blades pointed at her by the soldiers, Yu Shuyan showed no fear. She walked step by step to a short distance in front of Gong Beige, only stopping when she was blocked by the soldiers. A faint smile played on her lips as she met Gong Beige's gaze.

Gong Beige's smile didn't reach her eyes:

"Yu Shuyan~ What are you doing here?"

Yu Shuyan said calmly:

"If I were to say it was purely a coincidence, I wonder if Your Highness would believe me?"

Gong Beige sneered:

"You may not know this, but what I hate most are smooth-talking people. Look, there was that old geezer just now, and I was about to cut out his tongue. How about this, you go after him in line!"

Following her words, Yu Shuyan looked at her maternal grandfather, whose chin was being held by Wang An. Although his hair was disheveled and he looked quite disheveled, his eyes showed no fear, only worry when he looked at her. A pang of pain lingered in her heart. She gave him a look to reassure him, then smiled faintly at Gong Beige:

"Your Highness, why have you mobilized so many people and arrested so many villagers? Is it really because there is a plague here?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Gong Beige's eyes, but it quickly turned into a mocking sneer:

"This princess cares deeply for the people and disregards her own precious health in order to minimize the disaster caused by the epidemic. I wonder what you mean by that?"

Yu Shuyan's eyes held a hint of sarcasm:

"Is that so! Then I'd like to ask the princess, how could you, who cares so much for the people, turn your back on innocent women and children with a knife!"

Gong Beige snorted coldly:

"What a petty and narrow-minded attitude! For the sake of the greater good, what does one's own life matter!"

As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his smile turned sinister.

"It just occurred to me that you are a despicable and vile woman, and now you're sneaking around here. I have reason to suspect that you are a spy from an enemy country. Guards, kill her on the spot, cut her into a thousand pieces!"

Wang An immediately responded, eager to make a move.

Gong Beige, however, showed no fear; instead, he sneered:

"What a righteous princess, and what a treacherous villain!"

Gong Beige's eyes instantly turned icy cold:

"You are brave!"

Yu Shuyan, however, didn't care at all:

"You're here because you're afraid—afraid your despicable deeds will be exposed, afraid of being despised by the world!"

Gong Beige's eyes burned with anger as she gritted her teeth;

"What did you say!"

Yu Shuyan, however, did not care at all and continued to sneer.

"For your own selfish desires and your filthy and despicable thoughts, you have harmed so many lives, and now you even want to massacre the entire village. You, a vicious, wicked, and despicable scoundrel, dare to dream of ascending to that supreme position? You are not worthy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Beige's clear eyes instantly turned a frenzied crimson. At this moment, she had clearly lost her mind and roared angrily.

"Shut up! Shut up, you bitch, you bitch, you bitch, shut up!"

Yu Shuyan, however, continued to mock;

"What, you dare to do it but not dare to let people talk about it? Let me tell you, you'll never be able to realize your filthy, illicit thoughts in this lifetime. Do you really think that person would want you? He's the emperor, do you think he'd let you ruin his grand plan!"

Gong Beige's biggest dream over the years has been to ascend to the throne of Empress and rule the world alongside Gong Nanxian.

However, Gong Nanxian kept saying that she was the only one in his heart, but that it couldn't be revealed to others. He even said that in order to cover his tracks, he was taking concubines and beauties into the palace one by one.

This didn't stop him from showering his favors on those vile women. If it were a cover-up, why bother with them? She killed those vile women one by one, and although he ignored her, he continued to do as he pleased, favoring them one by one.

She kept telling herself that he loved her and that it was all just an act.

However, my heart has been hurt time and time again, and is covered in wounds.

She constantly doubted whether he truly loved her, and whether she or the throne was more important to him!

This repression and fear repeatedly threatened to break through her closed heart, driving her to question and pressure him relentlessly.

But she suppressed it firmly, relentlessly.

At this moment, so bluntly torn apart by Yu Shuyan, her pent-up emotions erupted like a raging fire, and she burst into wild laughter:

"Hahahaha~ You bitch, what do you know? He loves me, he only loves me. He's just~ just~"

Yu Shuyan continued to sneer:

"But...but what! I can't say it, but he doesn't love you at all, he just wants to use you. After all, you helped him a lot to ascend the throne, didn't you!"

Gong Beige roared wildly, as if possessed:

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense. He loves me, he loves me. Yes, it was Mother who helped him kill Father. I didn't help him at all! He simply loves me!"

Fu Qingyu's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief:

"What...what did you say! The late emperor, the late emperor was killed by you?"

A flash of clarity crossed Gong Beige's eyes after being shouted at, and she remembered what she had said, then panicked:

"Wh-what! Did I say anything?! I didn't say anything."

Yu Shuyan sneered:

"Oh, so you're scared now. Heh, with your cowardly nature, your brother must be pretty much the same. No wonder you've been hiding your dirty deeds all these years, too ashamed to show them to anyone!"

The clarity in Gong Beige's eyes was instantly replaced by madness under her provocation:

"What do you know? You know nothing. Yes, Father was killed by my mother. Who told him to be blind to people, to be so biased and heartless? Mother was the Empress, and my brother was the legitimate son of the Empress, but he was bewitched by that vixen and even wanted to pass the throne to that bastard Gong Mojue."

"Alright, since he's blinded by lust, we'll have to help him correct his mistake!"

Yu Shuyan's eyes trembled slightly:

"Correcting mistakes? Prince Yongning is a man of both literary talent and martial prowess. Such a chosen one is far superior to your cruel, incompetent, and ruthless elder brother!"

Gong Beige roared:

"Shut up, you bitch, shut up! You believe I'll tear your mouth apart? That bastard Gong Mojue, besides forming cliques, being hypocritical, and buying people's hearts, what else can he do? Oh right, he can rebel too. And his bitch mother, that promiscuous slut, is best at seducing men; and his rebellious maternal grandfather, relying on his military merits, actually wants to manipulate the succession, truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, deserving to be killed and torn apart. They all deserve to be torn to pieces!"

"shut up!"

Fu Qingyu suddenly roared, staring intently at Gong Beige, his eyes filled with complex emotions: anger, sorrow, regret, and hatred. These intertwined emotions made his eyes tinge with a crimson hue.
