<h4>Chapter 501</h4>


    She fell silent for a minute or two, a dim light shing in her eyes, her voice equally deep: "Shao Ting, if therees a day when you are disgusted by me with my hands dirtied."


    "I hope you can tell me to my face instead of abandoning me in secret."


    "Since she is Xin Ziqing, I must have her dead!" Rong Dai''s voice was determined and full of hatred!


    She just...wanted to give Huo Shao Ting a preemptive warning first.


    In her previous life she had lived too muddled! She had only thought it was The Emperor acting against the Rong household.


    So in a fit of anger she had moved to the Cold Pce, which perfectly assisted The Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort.


    Now the Imperial Noble Consort had also appeared here, reminding her of many things from her previous life.


    From The Emperor marrying her to making her The Empress, in considering many of these matters closely, the Imperial Noble Consort''s shadow was never absent.


    "I..."


    "You just go ahead and do it with ease, I trust you, don''t have any worries."


    "If you are tired and cannot continue, I am still here, I am the de in your hand."


    Rong Dai wanted to exin further, but Huo Shao Ting''s voice had already sounded over the phone.


    How could he not understand her worries?


    Hearing his words, Rong Dai was stunned for a moment. Watching the dark yet dazzling city, her heart that was like a leaf drifting on water now had an anchor.


    "Mm..."


    With him trusting her so much, hadn''t she already died once? What else was there left to fear?


    After the married couple hung up the phone, Rong Dai downed the ss of wine in one gulp.


    As the alcohol started taking effect, she curled up on the bed like a cat, eyes slightly narrowed, her expression gradually turning blurred and drowsy.


    The scene before her eyes slowly changed...


    The Cold Pce was bleak with bitter rain and wind. The pce doors that had been sealed shut for ages suddenly opened, and a sweet breeze burst in.


    Looking to be only in her forties, the Imperial Noble Consort was dressed splendidly in brocade robes, graceful and elegant. Her beauty was still charming, and her delicate hands held a perfumed handkerchief covering her nose as she entered.


    Gazing at the maimed woman on a dpidated bed, her eyes were full of disgust and disdain.


    "Is she dead?"


    The Imperial Noble Consort asked the eunuch beside her dressed in flowery robes, her tone icy cold.


    That eunuch stepped forward to check the woman''s breathing, and shook his head: "She still has a breath left in her."


    "That works too. After all this can make her die knowing more clearly, consider this my benevolence."


    The Imperial Noble Consort said lightly with a chuckle, raising her hand to signal the eunuch to force-feed the woman medicine.


    In a short while, the woman on the broken bed seemed toe alive, the rity returning to her eyes bit by bit.


    "Rong Empress, it has been almost ten years since This Noble Consortst saw you right? Are you quite used to living in this Cold Pce?"


    The Imperial Noble Consortughed brightly and sat down in front of her on a gold-iid taishi armchair, her voice gentle.


    The woman on the dpidated bed looked at her resentfully as if insane, her voice hoarse as she questioned: "Xin Ziqing, you are too cruel! I have no injustice or enmity against you, why did you harm me like this?!"


    "Indeed no injustice or enmity, if you must me someone me yourself for blocking This Noble Consort''s path to the position of Empress. Only with your death can This Noble Consort be Empress."


    "What is an Imperial Noble Consort? After all just a noble concubine."


    The Imperial Noble Consortughed lightly, her voice seemingly gentle yet piercingly cold as splintered ice!


    "This Noble Consort hase today to see you off on your way. After all we were sisters of the Inner Pce. There are some things This Noble Consort won''t say, afraid that after you reach the Yin Cao Underworld you be a disoriented ghost, also unable to exin it clearly to Lord Yama."


    The Imperial Noble Consort looked at her triumphantly, the smile on her face extremely radiant.


    Then with a wave of her hand she signaled the eunuch to read the imperial edict deposing the Empress.


    The woman''s face was full of shock, then anger and bitterness!


    She had actually been deposed!


    "The Emperor said that since the Empress does not cherish the position of Empress, it shall be revoked."


    The Imperial Noble Consort gazed at her with enjoyment and utmost malice in her beautiful eyes!
