The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Chapter 13 A Talented Woman From Chang’An? Just A Plaything!

The eunuch looked around with satisfaction, waved his feather duster, and turned away.

The Imperial Guards also retreated.

However, the entire Chang'an City remained immersed in gloom and could not calm down for a long time.

Dozens of Hanlin Academy scholars were actually executed by the current foolish ruler, an event that was enough to ignite the court and the people.

For the entire Literary Ocean Academy, it was an even greater calamity.

Some people even discovered that Han Xueqi, the wife of Literary Ocean Academy's Guo Moye and known as a talented woman in Chang'an, seemed to have been brought into the palace.

The notorious Great Qin Emperor, known for his lustful ways, and what would happen to Guo's wife next, could already be imagined...

When people were filled with fear, they also felt a trace of desolation in their hearts.

Distinguished scholars of the Hanlin Academy, highly respected and esteemed.

Yet the final outcome was so tragic.

Not only were they executed along with their entire families, even their own wives became playthings.

Truly a great tragedy...

With such a foolish ruler, does Great Qin really have a future!?

Countless people thought this in their hearts.

Of course, they only dared to think about it in their hearts and didn't dare to show the slightest bit of it.

They didn't want to be executed along with their entire families, wiped out to the ninth generation.

Within Chang'an City, tranquility was restored.

All the voices calling for the overthrow of the foolish ruler disappeared at this moment, becoming silent.

Only the headless corpses and the heavy stench of blood that lingered reminded the world.

...

Sun Scale King's residence.

"Crack!"

Sun Scale King Qin Shijing's face was filled with anger as he fiercely threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

The teacup shattered, splashing tea everywhere.

"Useless, all useless!!"

Qin Shijing's face twisted, almost going mad.

The swift destruction of the Guo family completely exceeded his expectations, catching him off guard.

"Brother, we have underestimated that Majesty too much. He even couldn't be stopped by the Hanlin Academy," Qin Shijie sighed.

"This foolish ruler is simply insane, devoid of humanity!"

Qin Shijing gritted his teeth, his face full of ferocity.

"Brother, be cautious with your words. I suspect that the foolish ruler has gone mad. If any news leaks out, we will be in danger!" Qin Shijie hurriedly advised.

These days, he couldn't sleep well every day, always feeling that the Dark Divine Guards were watching him from the shadows.

To the point where he had to have guards constantly by his side in order to fall asleep.

"Hmph, so what? I am Sun Scale King, a noble of the heavens. That dog emperor, dare he kill me?"

Qin Shijing sneered.

He was a member of the royal family, a direct descendant of the Great Qin imperial clan. How could he be compared to a mere prince of another surname and scholars from the Literary Ocean Academy?

"What you say makes sense, brother. Even if that emperor is tyrannical, he wouldn't dare to kill us," Qin Shijie nodded.

"But even so, we still have to be cautious." Qin Shijing pondered for a moment and ordered, "Shijie, you must return to the Southern Frontier immediately, gather the army, and be prepared for any situation."

"Yes."

Qin Shijie bowed and accepted the order.

"In addition, send spies to closely monitor the situation in the Northern Border and report at any time!"

"I will follow your orders, brother."

Qin Shijie respectfully replied.

Immediately after, the two brothers discussed their plans and took separate actions.

...

Meanwhile, inside the palace.

Han Xueqi, the wife of Guo Moye, was also escorted to the Weiyang Palace.

Looking at the extremely luxurious and magnificent palace in front of her.

Han Xueqi's face turned pale, and an uncontrollable sense of fear arose in her heart.

In one moment, she was still envisioning a beautiful future at home, and in the next moment, her family was destroyed, and she became a prisoner.

How could she accept this?

Moreover, she clearly remembered.

At that time, Guo Moye still had a spirited appearance and told her that he would achieve the position of Prime Minister, bring glory to the family, and make her the wife of the Prime Minister.

But in just a short moment, Guo Moye's head was separated from his body, the Guo family was executed, and she instantly fell from the clouds to the dust.

For a moment, Han Xueqi's heart was in chaos, her eyes blank, standing still in place.

In her mind, there was only one thought.

What should she do?!

"Madam Han, please."

A palace maid came to Han Xueqi's side, her tone cold and indifferent, as if judging a case.

Han Xueqi slowly came back to her senses.

She glanced at the palace maid and then walked towards the palace.

Soon, Han Xueqi stepped into the Weiyang Palace.

However, at this moment, she had none of the grace of a talented woman from Chang'an, the wife of the Grand Scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Her clothes were disheveled, her makeup smudged, her hair in disarray, her delicate hairpins scattered on the ground, and her shoes and socks had several holes.

Even her beautiful face was covered in dirt.

She looked extremely disheveled and haggard.

However, she seemed to be unaware of everything, following the palace maid blankly as they walked towards the Weiyang Palace.

Soon, the two arrived at a side hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a folding screen.

Through the screen, faint laughter could be heard.

Needless to say, the most esteemed figure of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Mu, must be sitting inside.

At this moment, Han Xueqi's heart beat faster, her breathing quickened, her heart pounding.

She didn't know what she would face next.

Death? Life?

Or becoming a plaything...

No matter which one, she knew she had no choice.

She had no way to escape...

Just as Han Xueqi was feeling anxious and uneasy.

"Are you Han Xueqi?"

Suddenly, a stunning woman walked in, holding a tray, her expression indifferent.

Han Xueqi looked up.

What came into view was a woman in a thin veil, probably in her late twenties.

She had a graceful figure, bright eyes and white teeth, a stunning face like a city-destroying beauty, with skin as clear as jade, delicate and fragile.

Especially her phoenix-like eyes, shining with charm, captivating.

She stood there, as if a fairy fallen into the mortal world, intoxicating.

But the strong pressure emanating from her made Han Xueqi tremble with fear.

It was a trembling from the depths of her soul.

She swayed gracefully, took slow steps, and slowly approached Han Xueqi's side.

Seeing this, Han Xueqi trembled all over and involuntarily knelt down.

"Commoner Han Xueqi pays respects to the Lady."

Han Xueqi kowtowed and said.

She was anxious and fearful in her heart.

Although she didn't know the other party's identity, she could tell from her temperament that she was extraordinary.

She didn't dare to be disrespectful.

"Mmm!"
