The Empress's Revenge
#112
Bai Yan was surprised not to play when the secret she had been trying to cover up all these years was revealed just like that. Though the people involved in the matter were all dead at the hands of the Bai family guards.
"Where are you going to send Liu Yan?" bai Yan asked finally with wide bulging eyes.
Bai Yan could no longer feel calm, her body trembling strongly. His eyes continued to look towards the outside of the courtyard where Liu Yan was taken away.
"Bringing himself up to benefit my family. How much resources has he spent? How much loss do I get for him and you?" Liu Zhang smiled scornfully as he saw the panic printed clearly in Bai Yan's eyes.
"Don't tell me you didn't send him to the palace?" The overwhelming fear could not be hidden by Bai Yan.
As much as Bai Yan's strength tried to wriggle to escape from the tight grip of Liu Zhang's men. Bai Yan wept bitterly with such a heart-wrenching wailing voice.
"Stana? Hehehehe, you're fantasizing too high. With such a broken face how would he be accepted, even as a servant he had no place. Do you think Liu Zixia will help her after everything you did to her mother? You dream too high," Liu Zhang sneered.
"Where are you going to send my daughter? Didn't you feel the slightest bit after all this time that you raised?" asked Bai Yan.
Liu Zhang on the other hand chuckled, he walked over towards Bai Yan with a gaze filled with traces of contempt. "She will be sent to be the lowly concubine of the Du family, you know the Du family right? Right now that they are on the rise, I have gained a lot of benefits by sending your daughter there. And for you, I'll think of a way to benefit from you, too." Liu Zhang pressed down on Bai Yan's powerful cheek with full force.
Purple bruises were instantly visible, Bai Yan moaned in pain yet Liu Zhang did not care. The disgust shown by Liu Zhang clearly made Bai Yan's heart crumble to pieces. He never expected that one day he would see such an expression on Liu Zhang's face for himself.
"Take him to the firewood warehouse! Have some guards accompany her, this kind of dirty woman is not worthy of being Liu's mistress. Make sure he gets pleasure, don't let him make a sound because it'll be annoying." Liu Zhang gave the order.
Bai Yan shouted loudly trying to make a fuss for her children to wake up to help. But it was useless, the sleeping incense that Liu Zhang had installed in the room put them into a deep sleep.
Liu Yan on the other side who knew nothing was sitting sweetly on a small stretcher. On his lips was a triumphant smile, his little brain was thinking of various ways to curry favor with the Emperor so that his post would rise as quickly as possible. Liu Yan did not dare to open his head cover because it would make him ignorant of tradition.
As the stretcher stopped, Liu Yan was helped down from the stretcher. He was taken to a small courtyard with a servant working there. After Liu Yan arrived at the new room he felt a little suspicious.
'Oh, I have to be patient. If I show my dislike for Liu Zixia now then I will be hard-pressed to take her place. First of all I must be able to treat this poison first, tempt the Emperor to love me then seize his heart and then get rid of Liu Zixia from here.' Liu Yan tried to warn himself against acting recklessly.
Liu Yan waited patiently but strangeness after strangeness happened constantly. The mattress that Liu Yan occupied was so hard and small, no fragrance was smelled. It was as if he was married to an ordinary family with no privileges.
'Maybe that Liu Zixia is just giving me a low posiis at the moment. Yes, he must have instigated the Emperor to provide this kind of bad service. Just look, when the Emperor is with me I will steal his heart so that you will be thrown away quickly.' Liu Yan clenched his hand holding back the anger.
The sound of footsteps coming in made Liu Yan set his face full of grievances as well as sadness. There were tears welling up in his eye sashes as if it was ready to fall at any moment.
The strong aroma of wine smelled in the air as the door slowly opened, those heavy footsteps making Liu Yan impatient. The red cloth covering Liu Yan's face was lifted revealing a ugly face like Liu Yan who was closing his eyes.
The man kissed Liu Yan impatiently pushing Liu Yan down before he pulled the curtain down.
