I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 75: Her mother smile is truly beautiful.

Chu Shao still had a smile on her face.

She looked gently at everything on the stage.

She watched Rong Lian draw her sword and fight against the skilled warriors in front of the empress's palace.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes.

The heavy sword struck Rong Lian's body, and the copper rings on the blade clinked.

Blood flowed on the ground.

It was like a small river with peach petals floating on it.

Suddenly, Xiao Jin couldn't tell whether it was real blood or just props.

No one called a stop to the performance.

So the show would continue.

The empress sat on the high seat.

She looked at Rong Lian, who was held by heavy weapons, and sighed, "What a pity. If it weren't for Shen Lang's visit that day, how would you have remembered who you are? And now, even with the power of the Three Successes, you can't escape my grasp."

The empress looked at Rong Lian with a smile, "Shen Rong Lian, you must also hate Shen Lang very much. If it weren't for him coming to find you, how would you have remembered your identity... and how would you have remembered the deep hatred between you and the national teacher?"

The blade cut into the silver-blue pattern on Rong Lian's shoulder, creating a beautiful blood flower.

At this moment, no one knew what Rong Lian was thinking.

On the stage.

The slender figure, once graceful and elegant, was now bent under the weight of weapons.

Blood stained every inch of Rong Lian's face, with fresh blood oozing from her lips.

After a moment, she calmly said to the empress, "I don't hate anyone."

The empress, dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe, looked down on Rong Lian and said, "Is that so? You don't hate anyone, but everyone in the Shen family hates you."

"Even the national teacher, whom you have spared multiple times, and the entire Jianjia building is her lackeys. Do you think she doesn't know who you are?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Lian's body trembled imperceptibly.

The empress smiled and said, "The national teacher knows, she knows who you are."

She leaned in close to Rong Lian's ear and whispered, "But in the end, she still... sent you to the Yao Palace with her own hands."

A long silence followed.

After a moment, Rong Lian said slowly, "She deserved it."

The empress smirked and said, "Yes, everyone in the court knows that the national teacher is someone who seeks revenge at the slightest provocation."

"Rong Lian, since you say she deserved it, then what about you? After regaining your memories and martial arts skills... shouldn't you, both emotionally and logically, kill her?"

Rong Lian didn't answer.

With those words, it seemed like the two had said everything they wanted to say.

The empress gently lifted Rong Lian's chin, which was smeared with blood, and opened a brocade box. She took out a pill hidden with insects and put it between Rong Lian's teeth.

Behind the screen, Su Tan, with a pale face, was standing there.

The young imperial physician, Su, looked at Rong Lian.
