Chapter 103: Then don't call her Empress Ning

Moonlight spilled into the stone cave.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin fell silent for a long time before looking at Empress Ning with incredulity. "If you love Shen Ronglian so much, why did you send her to the brothel?"

Could it be that the ancient saying "If you can't have it, destroy it" was at play here?

Large swaths of cloth were stained with blood.

Empress Ning leaned against the stone wall and spoke slowly, "This palace knows Nan Jin too well. She may seem arrogant, but she is actually insecure. If you don't completely break someone, she won't let her guard down."

Xiao Jin had seen fragments of Nan Jin's memories and agreed with this point. "What happened next?"

Afterward, Shen Qingcheng sent Shen Ronglian to the Jianjia Building place was Nan Jin's territory, and only by doing so could she truly relax.

Since Nan Jin had planted spies by her side, Shen Qingcheng dared not see Shen Ronglian easily.

She entrusted her to her confidant and took care of her meticulously every day.

She would occasionally send a letter or some news.

It was nothing more than Miss Shen drinking a few cups of tea, going to which garden, or admiring which flowers.

After a few days, Shen Qingcheng bribed Marquis of Pingcheng with a lot of money to have him take Shen Ronglian's virginity.

She hired a carriage to help Shen Ronglian escape that night.

But she did not expect that Nan Jin would happen to visit the Jianjia Building at that time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin turned her head to look at Empress Ning.

She gazed at the scarred face and suddenly laughed. "You understand Nan Jin so well, you must have planted spies by her side... So Empress, do you really not know?"

"Or do you actually know, but still intentionally indulged Nan Jin?" 

It began to rain at night.

The sound of rain hitting the leaves was crisp, and a damp and bloody smell spread from the cave.

Empress Ning's body was as weird and rugged as the rocks.

After a while, she put down her hand that was holding onto the rocks for support, found a comfortable posture, and leaned her body against the stone wall.

Then she hoarsely laughed and said, "Yes, actually, I already knew it when we were an hour away from entering Jianjia Building in Nan Jin."

Xiao Jin furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "But you didn't change the plan."

Empress Ning replied, "Yes."

Xiao Jin asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Empress Ning weakly leaned against the cold and damp stone wall and said, "Because I still have some resentment."

Xiao Jin asked, "Why are you resentful?"

Xiao Jin was a normal person. Even if she read more dog-blooded online novels, she couldn't understand Empress Ning's way of thinking.

Empress Ning smiled slightly and said, "I am resentful that Shen Ronglian left me like this."

"If the moon always hangs high in the sky and people only look up to it, it would be enough... but now, it has fallen."

Xiao Jin had no words. 

She often felt out of place in this world because she wasn't twisted enough.
