TFSRITA Chapter 91

With a tearing sound, the dagger sliced into his abdomen, and the sound of flesh being cut open echoed. Yan Qing was stunned, her body froze, and she stood there not daring to move. The plan she had just thought of shattered instantly, and she couldn’t remember anything anymore.

Yan Qing let out a panicked low growl, “Are you crazy?”

There was no need to hurt herself! To use such a method!

The warm blood quickly soaked her hand, and Yan Qing flinched as if burned, instinctively pulling her hand away.

Ji Yechen was also stiff, cold sweat pouring from his body. It hurt so much; both his palm and his abdomen throbbed painfully, but he didn’t cry out. Slowly turning around, he gripped the dagger’s hilt and looked at the fair woman before him. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Are you satisfied now? Do you want to continue?”

Yan Qing staggered backward a couple of steps. Her throat felt as if it was blocked, unable to speak. Her lips moved as though she was trying to say something, but her clear, watery eyes widened in shock and fear as she stared at him. “Are you really sick in the head?”

Although she often mocked Ji Yechen for being crazy, he had always seemed like a normal person to her, just someone with a slightly different way of thinking. But she had never seen him hurt himself. The most extreme thing he’d done was not fight back when she hit him.

Now, Yan Qing’s hands and feet were cold, her heart pounding as if in a drum, and the shock left her mind blank.

Ji Yechen, however, smiled through the pain, his seemingly reckless yet vicious smile revealing a terrifying expression. “Yes, I’m crazy. You belong to me, and you’re not going anywhere! I’ve already obtained the Imperial Seal. No one dares to oppose me anymore. I’ll make you Empress soon…”

“Ugh—” Ji Yechen’s words were cut off as Yan Qing gritted her teeth and forcefully pushed him away.

Yan Qing didn’t even know why she did it. Though she was terrified, she didn’t love Ji Yechen. Seeing him becoming even more insane, her first reaction was to push him away.

After pushing him, she immediately ran, shouting at the palace servants who were kneeling and too scared to lift their heads, “Call for the imperial doctor, hurry!”

“Yes.” Several palace servants scrambled to leave, and Yan Qing quickly wiped her hands and ran as well.

The token she had used to leave the palace last time was still with her. She had forgotten to return it, and now it worked perfectly. After all, there were so many palace servants here, and Ji Yechen wouldn’t be in any danger.

Meanwhile, Ji Yechen, who had fallen to the ground from the force of her push, stared in disbelief at the disappearing figure. At this moment, she actually managed to push him away and run?

Blood continued to pour from the wound in his abdomen, as if his life force was draining away.

As Ji Yechen lay on the ground, blood spilling faster, he lost the strength to get up. His injuries throbbed painfully, and his heart hurt terribly. The pain was so intense it blurred his vision.

But when the tears finally fell, Ji Yechen realized he was crying.

“Your Majesty!” Jiang Wende called for the imperial doctor and saw the Emperor lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing. He immediately let out a startled cry, his eyes reddening as he knelt there.

The imperial doctor was momentarily stunned before starting to treat his wounds.

Ji Yechen, completely exhausted, closed his eyes weakly, and in his mind, he recalled the moment when he had strangled her, watching her slowly lose consciousness in his hands.

Was this… karma?

No!

Ji Yechen suddenly opened his eyes, glaring fiercely at the imperial doctor before growling, “Treat me! I want to leave the palace! Hurry!”

He wanted to see Song Yu—no way!

Once he was up, he would make sure that wild man would be dead!

The author has something to say: Still torturing the characters? Haha, I feel so good writing this. Let him bully the female lead, and now it’s her turn to get back at him!

Chapter 26

Yan Qing didn’t know why she insisted on leaving the palace. Maybe it was just to see Song Yu for herself and confirm her failure to rebel?

In the novel, things went smoothly. Ji Yechen didn’t care about anything—he ignored the affairs of the court, and when Song Yu rebelled, he didn’t worry at all. The few descriptions proved he was mad, indifferent to everything.

As for Song Yu, no one knew he would rebel at first, not even his own family. It wasn’t until the news arrived that everyone was stunned, and by the time Song Yu launched his attack, Chang’an didn’t even have time to react.

Song Yu quickly ascended to the throne, with most people supporting him, except for Song’s father, who couldn’t accept it. He was a loyal minister, never having considered such a possibility.

It wasn’t until he confirmed that Ji Yechen wasn’t dead and that Song Yu had really taken the throne that he finally understood what was going on.

Looking at Ji Yechen’s words, Yan Qing had a gut feeling the real failure was Song’s father.

Of course, it could also be because of the things she said to disgust Ji Yechen that caused him to focus all his attention on Song Yu.

When Yan Qing stood at the Song family’s gate with Zhu Yin, she still felt a bit dazed.

The gatekeepers had changed shifts and didn’t recognize her, but seeing her imposing manner and noticing the maid behind her dressed like a palace servant, they immediately became attentive.

“Ladies, are you here to enter the residence? Please allow me to announce you, I’m not sure if…”

“My surname is Yan.” Yan Qing said, pressing her lips together nervously.

However, when the servants heard her, they immediately dropped to their knees. “Your Highness, the Empress!”

“Announce us.” Yan Qing whispered.

The servants both shook their heads in panic, speaking quickly, “Your Highness, our master said that the young master cannot meet with you alone!”

“Your Highness, please return.”

“Your Highness, the master won’t let the young master come out.”

Yan Qing lowered her gaze, watching the two kneeling servants who were repeatedly kowtowing for defying her orders. She expressionlessly took two steps back before turning to leave.

Zhu Yin stayed close, cautiously watching her expression. Seeing her look so dejected, she grabbed her arm and said, “Your Highness, wait at the nearest inn. I will bring Young Master Song to you.”

Yan Qing’s eyes brightened slightly as she almost forgot about Zhu Yin. She hurriedly expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”
