Xue Lanxuan looked at the book for long time and then opened it.
There was written some chanting and spells. She read the book.
In that book there was a spell to summon Demon Queen's soul.
And if someone help her to be reborn again then Demon Queen will fulfill their wishes.
But summoning Demons are not easy and Summoning Demon Queen was very dangerous.
Summoner had to sacrifice something very important for it.
But if someone successfully summon Demon Queen then they will get their wishes fulfilled.
Lot's of people tried this before to summon Demon Queen.
But no one ever successed.
Because Summoning her also need a strong determination of the summoner and their deep emotions.
Xue Lanxuan took a deep breath and read about the ritual and spell for Summoning Demon Queen.
Then she put the book aside and murmured "I always try to put Everyone's happiness before me. No one ever care about me and now they wants me to die too. Then I wouldn't feel any sympathy for them either ".
She search and got a broken glass.
She took the glass and cut herself.
There was lot of blood. She created a symbol for the ritual.
And murmured those spell.
There was a heavy wind but she still continues her chanting.
After sometime wind stopped.
There was a silent and she only heard her breathing sound.
She opened her eyes and looked her surrounding.
But She did not see anyone else.
She took the book again and read process about the ritual and all spell.
There was no mistake then why no one was appeared.
Why the ritual failed.
Did that maid lie to her.
She laughed bitterly.
Of course that maid lied to her.
Everyone just make fun of her. She knew that she was ugly.
She touched the burn mark of her face and shout loudly "Why? Why am I the only one who suffer all this? What does I do wrong? I never hurt anyone"
she sobbed and continued "Never act rude to anyone. Never think of harming other people. Then why everyone hate me. I don't choose this burn mark on my face. My father hate me. I never wanted to be the reason for my mother's death. I love her. But She died to save me. After her death I only had my father. I wanted his love. But he never care about me. After mother died he didn't want to see my face. Because of his indifferent behavior towards me everyone in prime minister's mansion look down on me. They all treat me badly. After he married Yaoqin's aunt I thought finally I will get someone who cares about me. She was good to me at first. Su Yaoqin even share her clothes with me. I was so happy but after sometime everything changed. Su Yaoqin said I bullied her. She complain to my father that I hurt her. But I never hurt her. I always thought her as my little sister. But because of her false accusations father hate me more. When I complain about it to my stepmother, she slapped me. She ordered servants to beat me often. Because of my burn mark no one accept me as their friend either".
Then she smiled bitterly and murmured "When I first saw Zhao Yuncheng, I liked him. I know he never liked me back. He was a prince and I am"
She touched her burn mark and whispered "I knew that was my wishful thinking but I liked him at first glance but never dare to reveal it. To my surprise he talked to me first. I was happy at that time and when he said he fall in love with me, I foolishly believe that. I should have known how could he loved me When everyone hate me. But at that time my foolish heart believe in him. When he proposed marriage for me, Everyone was shocked. They thought how could an ugly creature like me get a handsome prince. Honestly I was shocked too. I never thought anyone will be willing to marry me. After marriage he didn't touch me. In the wedding night i was waiting for him in our wedding chamber".
She took a pause and It looked like she went to her old memories.
After sometime tear appeared in her eyes and she murmured again "Outside of our wedding chamber I heard voices of some maids. They said that no one understands how could prince marry an ugly woman like me. Because of me prince will be laughing topic for everyone. Unknowingly tears came down my eyes. I was waiting for him for whole night but he didn't come. In the morning when he came, he said he was busy with work. I didn't force him for answer. Maybe my brain already know the answer which my heart refuse to believe. Then he forced me to talk to my father. He knew my father hate me but because of his happiness I went to meet my father and begged him to support my husband. At first he refused but I kneel down in front of his room. I thought if I helped my husband to ascend the throne he will accept me. Maybe he will love me.
Father accept my request and helped him to ascend the throne. Father made a condition that he have to make me as the Empress. He agreed at that time. After he ascending the throne, he made me the empress as per the condition. I didn't know he resented me for that. But I never wanted to become an Empress. I just want to live a normal life with the person I love and want his love in return. But what I got in return was a Betrayal. After becoming an Emperor he brought my cousin who always bully me but played as a victim Su Yaoqin into the palace and make her as his concubine".
Tear dropped from her cheek and she continued "I was heart broken at that time. I did everything for him and he abandon me for my cousin. But I still tried to behave normally with my cousin. But she still framed me. She make sure that everyone thought I am the villain in her story. My mother in law, the Empress Dowager who always hate me for my looks, adore Su Yaoqin. Everyone treated me badly in this palace. And when she said that I tried to kill her and everyone believed in her and accused me. My mother in law and husband blamed me and threw me in this cold palace ".
She didn't know why she suddenly said this loud.
But she just want to pour her heart out even if it was for this one time.
No one ever listened to her.
But in this cold palace she said what she wanted to say for a long time.
She didn't care if anyone heard her or not.
She knew Emperor, Empress Dowager and Su Yaoqin everyone want to kill her and she knew that she can not be saved.
Then she thought of that maid. They are strangers.
But still she showed kindness towards this ugly Empress when no one ever sympathize with her.
That maid didn't give her that poisonous food.
But if Emperor knew about it ,He will punish her.
She didn't want her to be punished after all she was the first one who respect her.
Though she knew after killing her Yuncheng will killed that maid too.
Now she didn't have any delusion about her husband.
She knew how dangerous he could be.
She closed her eyes and looked at that symbol and murmured "My this hope is also shattered. I am so unlucky. Even in death's doorstep I still don't get justice".
She sighed and continue murmured "Why did she lie to me? We don't know each other. Does she also wants something from me? But I don't have anything ".
She sighed and murmured "It looks like I have to die without justice. Maybe after death I will finally get peace".
Then she looked at the broken glass and gave a sad smile "My mother said about rebirth. That if someone's wish was not fulfill, they born again to fulfill their wishes. I don't know rebirth is real or not but if rebirth is real then I want to be born in a happy family" .
Tear appeared on her cheek and she sobbed and continued "I wish, in my next life I can get love from mother and father And I hope in that life mother will always stay with me. And father will not hate me. And I hope someone will truly love me. There will be no scheme, no planning plotting. Just love. I don't want to be born in wealth. I want a loving parents and loving sister who doesn't scheming against me, who will not frame me falsely".
Then she took the broken glass and stabbed herself.
As her last breath trembled out, a cold voice whispered from the darkness "I accept your offering".
She heard it and closed her eyes, she didn't know that it was her imagination or really someone said it.
