Gao Xihe was reborn,
at the very moment the emperor’s trusted eunuch locked her in the Cold Palace!
Clutched tightly in her hands was the edict deposing her, written by the man who sat upon the throne.
The night before, he had been whispering sweetly with her, their temples touching as they lay side by side. The next morning, after leaving her bed, he wrote the edict with his own hands, pinning the capital crimes of harming the imperial heir and selling official posts on her.
Then her parents, relatives, and trusted aides were all killed. Even her son, Crown Prince Weizhen, had his head cut off!
And she was strangled to death by the servants!
This time, she would never make the same mistakes again!
“Zhao Jingshan, I helped you seize this empire, and I’ll take it from you just as surely! I’ll make you suffer every torment I endured in my last life!”
