Under the dark sky, the smell of blood had stained the air and was beginning to spread in all direction.
The night continued getting darker.
Tian Chen Palace, in the Crown Prince Eastern Palace.
“Liu Yue, I beg you! You can kill me, but please spare my son Cheng-er, I’m begging you…” Empress Liu knelt in front of the Eastern Palace, looking shockingly miserable, with her long hair undone and strewn all over her face. She kowtowed relentlessly at Liu Yue who was walking closer, and was illuminated only by the moonlight.

Bloodstains flowed from her forehead, tarnishing her snow white skin.
Liu Yue swept a cold glance at Empress Liu, eyes filled with killing intent, “Who are you to beg from me?”
“I am no one, and I am definitely not anything of worth in your eyes. But I beg of you, please spare my Cheng-er, Liu Yue, I am begging you…”
“Shut up. you are not worthy to even mention my name.” Her voice did not contain fury, but only an icy cold tone that carried an absolute ruthlessness.
It was an absolute determination not to spare anyone.
Hearing the steel in Liu Yue’s voice, Empress Liu could only kneel on the ground, crying softly. Then, suddenly, as if she was possessed, she looked up and glared at Liu Yue, her eyes were full of anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mu Rong Liu Yue, don’t be too happy. Although we have lost today, we did not lose completely.
If you let Cheng-er go, I will give my life to you today. If you persist on being ruthless, don’t blame me for being ruthless too.
You were poisoned by me, if you let my son Cheng-er go, I will give you the antidote to the poison. Otherwise, we’ll meet Hades together. Even if we die, we will not let you live.”
Her words were full of vengeance as they burst out from Empress Liu’s mouth. It was her trump card, it was her last strand of hope.
When she heard Empress Liu’s threat, Liu Yue’s mouth slowly curled, into an icy cold, yet bloodthirsty smile.
Liu Yue slowly walked towards Empress Liu, and knelt down beside her and grabbed Empress Liu’s lower jaw, her dark and bloodstained pupils locked on to Empress Liu’s frightened eyes.
Liu Yue coldly replied, “Did you really think that you have a chance of negotiating with me by playing with poison? Let me tell you something, I am the master of poison and toxins. You have misjudged me if you think you could use poison to turn me into a vegetable that will slowly die slowly by poison.”
When she heard the symptoms of the poison that she had administered to Liu Yue, the ferocious, dagger-sharp look on Empress Liu’s face was suddenly frozen with shock.
