The moment the poisonous wine entered my throat, I heard the ridicule from all over the world.
The burning sensation spread from the throat to the stomach, like countless red-hot needles piercing the internal organs. I fell down on the floor of the cold palace, digging my fingers into the gaps in the floor tiles. My nails turned over and blood flowed all over the floor. My vision started to blur, but my ears were extremely clear——
I heard the palace maid whisper: "The deposed queen is finally going to die."
I heard the eunuch's high-pitched voice: "Quickly report to the general, the queen is poisoned."
I heard the hurried footsteps outside the door from far to near, and then the voice of the person I was most familiar with - Shen Zhaohan. He has said to me countless times, "Tang'er, you are my pearl." What he said now is: "Are you sure she is dead?"
I will never die with my eyes closed.
