1000 Years later
A woman sat on the floor.
Her tears came down from her eyes and she looked at the person in front of her. Her clothes were shabby and old.
And there was a big burn mark on her left cheek.
Her eyes were puffy, it's looked like she cried for long time.
She did not know what she did wrong, why the person she loved most didn't love her back.
It's not only he didn't love her but he hated her.
She did not know why. She always thought about him.
She did everything so that the person gets the throne but after achieving throne he punished her , even want to discard her like a garbage.
She looked again at him with her teary eyes and asked "Why? What did I do wrong?"
That person looked at her with disgust and said "I never love you. In fact I hate you. Do you ever see yourself in the mirror! You will know why I can't tolerate you. Back then I force myself to look at your face and said those sweet words. I only use you so that I can get the throne which I already get. Then why will I pretend to be in love with you when I barely tolerate you?"
Before she replied another woman who stood with that person spoke softly "Sister please don't blame his majesty, this is all this humble servant's fault. I fell in love with his majesty. Please sister if you want to blame someone, please blame me".
She faked her cry in front of them and Emperor console her and said "It's not your fault. I am the one who fall in love with you first."
And then the Emperor looked at that person who sat on the floor and looked at them with teary eyes.
He looked at her and said with fury "It's all because of you! Su Yaoqin is your cousin, why did you bully her and try to separate me from her? If I don't afraid that my imperial brothers will took the throne then, I will never marry a cruel and ugly person like you. And make you the Empress of this Dynasty!"
She looked at him and laughed bitterly and said "Empress? I am Empress only for the name . No one treat me like an Empress in here. They all adore my cousin and think of her as the Empress, including you. I am your legal wife and I don't even have any right as the Emperor's wife!"
She then looked at the woman who was now embracing the Emperor and said "And you? You are not my own blood. When your aunt married my father after my mother passed away I respected my father's decision and always respect your aunt and love you as my own sister but you! You betray me! You seduced my husband and destroy me. I will never forgive you. If you think that after Emperor discard me, you can become the new Empress then you are mistaken. You are not worth it. No one accept you as the Empress. You can become my husband's mistress but you never become the Empress of the Great Chiyan Dynasty!"
After hearing that the Emperor looked at the Empress furiously and slapped her.
He thought how dare she threatened Su Yaoqin in front of him. She even threatened Su Yaoqin openly, he didn't want to think what did this evil woman do to his beloved behind his back.
Before he said anything to the Empress, Su Yaoqin faked her tears and said with pitiful voice and said "Sister, I don't have any wish to take your place and become the Empress of this Dynasty. I really love his majesty and always stay with him. Please forgive me for speaking in front of you sister. I know that this humble servant is a low born. My father is not the prime minister. And I lived with you guys because my aunty married to your father and I lost my parents in young age, that's why I stayed with my aunty in your house. If you don't like it please forgive this humble servant. I never wanted to burden you".
She acted pitiful in front of the Emperor and he again consoled her "it's not your fault".
Then he looked at the Empress and said "I'll make Sure Yaoqin will be my new Empress. She deserves to be the Empress of our Great Chiyan Dynasty. And you deserve to become her slave ".
The Empress looked at the Emperor furiously and said "Do you think after throw me into the cold palace, you can make anyone as a New Empress. That will never happen."
The Emperor looked at her arrogantly and asked " Who will stop me? I am the son of the heaven and the Emperor of the Great Chiyan Dynasty. Who can stop me?"
She looked at him and laughed and asked "Emperor? Do you really think of yourself as the powerful Emperor now who can do anything? Don't forget your Majesty, how did you get your position as the Emperor? How did you get the throne? Do you really think you achieved that throne by yourself? We both know that if my father didn't help you back then , you could never become the Emperor because you don't deserve to be the Emperor. Do you still remember what is the Empress Dowager's background??? She doesn't have support of any nobels. You can be kicked out from that throne anytime."
Hearing Empress's words Emperor become very furious and he hated it when anyone looked down at him because of his birth.
His mother who was a current empress dowager was the servent of previous empress.
But after he borne , late emperor make his mother a concubine.
In the past everyone looked down on him. He hated it very much.
He took his sword and pointing at her. And He shouted "Today is your last day. You dare to insult this Emperor! First you tried to kill my beloved and I punished you by sending you to cold palace. You do not only beg for my forgiveness but you dare to insult me!"
Looking at this tense situation Su Yaoqin was afraid.
If anyone knew that the Emperor killed his Empress because of her, not only the Prime minister punish the Emperor and threw him from the throne.
He still controlled all the nobels.
And he will not show mercy towards her either.
Maybe in this time even her aunt can not protect her.
As much as she hate the Empress and want to killed her, she knew she could not kill the Empress openly.
The Prime Minister was very powerful. Because of him Zhao Yuncheng got the throne.
And if he knew that his daughter was dead because of her, no one can save her.
She then touch the hand of the Emperor and said with sweet voice "Your majesty, please calm down. She always say cruel words. That's her nature but you are the son of the heaven. You are the Emperor. You should not low yourself because of her. Let's go from here".
Hearing Su Yaoqin's sweet voice Zhao Yuncheng calm himself down.
He then looked at his wife and said with warning tone "You will regret this!" Then both the Emperor and his mistress left from there.
The Empress looked at their retreat figure. She smiled bitterly and murmured "I regret ever loving you".
.................
When Emperor and Su Yaoqin entered their room, Emperor threw his things in anger.
One thing he can not tolerate was disrespected by anyone.
He was the Emperor, the son of the heaven. How dare she insult him. She dared to talk back to him.
Looking at the Emperor's tantrum Su Yaoqin sighed this guy was now the Emperor but still can not control his emotion.
If she didn't want to take Xue Lanxuan's place she would not tolerate this man. She wanted everything and everyone from Xue Lanxuan.
She hate that woman. Why Xue Lanxuan got everything without doing anything and She had to work hard for everything.
She looked at the Emperor and said with hesitate voice "Your majesty please calm yourself down."
Looking at Su Yaoqin he grabbed her shoulder roughly and shout "why do you stop me from killing her! I should end her today".
She felt the pain but tolerate that pain.
She said with calm voice "And what will happen after that? She is the daughter of the prime minister and I am just a relative of the prime minister. Do you think he will tolerate it? Even for my aunt's sake he will not tolerate it. Don't forget Every noble listen to the prime minister and obey him."
He narrowed his eyes and said "But he loves you as his daughter, in fact he loves you more than his own daughter. That's why Xue Lanxuan hate you and always bully you ".
After hearing his words she smiled bitterly "Yes, he loves me as his daughter. I lived with them since childhood. When my aunt marry him, I went with her to their house but don't forget Xue Lanxuan is his own blood. His own daughter."
He asked with anger tone "Then what should we do? Will I keep quiet and tolerate that vicious woman's behavior?"
She smiled viciously and said "it's okay, after all she is my sister. I know she doesn't consider me as her sister and always jealous of me but I always consider her as my own sister."
Hearing his beloved's word Emperor's eyes soften. Then he said with soft tone " You are an angel my love and you always forgive her. But I am not. I will never forgive her for trying to harm you, in fact I will erase her from our life".
After hearing that Su Yaoqin's eyes widened with shock. But he rubbed her cheek affectionately and thought 'This time no one can save you my useless Empress '.
