"Being able to bring her down in this lifetime is my greatest joy. Who told you to vie for favor and block my path? In the Emperor's heart and eyes, there should only be me."
"Hmph, plotting against the Prince is indeed a good excuse. No matter how favored you are, even if you give birth to a son, what does it matter? You'll still be banished from the palace, unable to return for a lifetime, doomed to spend a lonely old age outside. It's truly satisfying."
"Emperor, I precede you, leaving this life without regrets, to meet again in the next." Deng Jieyu laughed wildly twice, suddenly spat out two mouthfuls of blood, tilted her head, and ceased to breathe.
"Consort..."
"The consort is gone..."
"Ah, Emperor..." The Palace Attendant in the Cold Palace immediately knelt down when they saw Emperor Xuanming.
Emperor Xuanming's face was solemn, gazing at Deng Jieyu's lifeless body on the ground, his face showing no trace of emotion.
