Chapter 255 Want to die?
It was impossible for Li Zhen to be unaware of the changes in the court.
He still did what the Xu family wanted. On the one hand, it was because he really doted on Xu Jiaoran, but on the other hand, he also wanted to test their intentions.
However, human hearts cannot stand the test.
The same is true for the Xu family and Xu Jiaoran.
He could not tolerate anyone playing power games under his nose, nor could he tolerate anyone trying to betray him, and he could not tolerate that person being Xu Jiaoran.
Li Zhen sent his trusted eunuchs and Jinyiwei to investigate the matter. They searched Xu Jiaoran's residence and looked through her letters and belongings. They found letters written to Li Mingzhao, each of which was full of Xu Jiaoran's determination and courage. They presented the letters to Li Zhen, who looked at them with shock and anger.
Truth cannot be hidden. Xu Jiaoran's plan was eventually discovered by Li Zhen.
Li Zhen threw the letter he had intercepted in front of Xu Jiaoran.
After reading the letter, Xu Jiaoran knew that the matter had been exposed.
She faced Li Zhen's questioning without fear, and she was unable to explain.
Now that the matter has been exposed, I will naturally not be able to survive.
According to Li Zhen's character, he would not tolerate the existence of people who betrayed him.
However, her silence seemed to indicate that she had frankly admitted her plan, which only made Li Zhen even more angry.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Xu Jiaoran grabbed his sleeve and begged, "I just hope you can spare my son's life. He is still young and knows nothing."
Xu Jiaoran's son, Li Mingquan, is only four years old.
He was still so young, and she didn't want his life to come to an abrupt end.
However, when Li Zhen heard her words, he angrily slapped the armrests of the dragon throne, with anger flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Jiaoran only cared about others.
Li Zhen said angrily: "Do you think that I will let your Xu family and that evil creature live after you betrayed me like this?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Jiaoran's heart sank to the bottom: "You killed them?"
Li Zhen sneered and did not answer.
"Kill them!" Xu Jiaoran suddenly went crazy, stood up and was about to kill Li Zhen.
"Li Zhen, you devil, you should be the one to die! You actually killed them!"
Li Zhen couldn't let Xu Jiaoran go crazy at this moment, so he held her in a rage and asked angrily, "Why did you betray me?"
The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere in Li Zhen's imperial study was extremely tense.
After Xu Jiaoran cried, she knew the ending was set. She was wearing gorgeous clothes, and her jade hairpins and silver ornaments set off her face, but now she looked pale and weak. She lowered her eyes, her heart was filled with ripples, but her face remained unusually calm.
"I treated you so well, why did you betray me?"
Li Zhen's voice was low and angry, and it seemed that every word was filled with doubt and anger.
Xu Jiaoran pursed her red lips, and she had made up her mind. She raised her head slightly and looked at the former monarch, but she just said lightly: "A person like you? You are not worthy of my loyalty to you!"
For someone like you, these four words are like a biting cold wind that cuts through the hypocrisy and power of the royal family.
"What kind of person am I?"
Li Zhen's eyes were filled with madness. He sneered and pulled Xu Jiaoran up, asking her, "What kind of person am I?"
"You are selfish, vicious, and cruel. You will never gain loyalty, and no one will ever support or love you!" Xu Jiaoran said what was in her heart.
"So you are going to betray me? Go and contact your former good husband Li Ji? Do you think Li Ji is a good man? Do you think he can tolerate a broken woman like you?" Li Zhen's words deeply hurt Xu Jiaoran.
"It's always like this. My husband is still not comparable to you."
Xu Jiaoran's tone revealed deep contempt and disdain. Her eyes, as bright as autumn water, were filled with a bottomless sense of remoteness and determination.
Her tone was like a sword pointing at a yellow dragon. Even though she was in a dangerous place, she was still fearless. For someone who is not afraid of death now, what else is there to be afraid of?
But before Xu Jiaoran died, she still wanted to make this devil sad.
"How dare you betray me for that man?"
Li Zhen's tone was full of disbelief and anger. He clenched the jade seal in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it.
But Xu Jiaoran just looked at him indifferently, with indifference and contempt in her eyes.
"Who are you to be compared with my husband? My husband is noble, gentle and upright, while you have been like a rat in the gutter and a poisonous snake in the dark tunnel all your life, dark and vicious. People like you are not even a bit better than my husband."
"Your current power and status as an emperor were only obtained by you through those dirty means. One day, my husband will take it back, and you will not have a good ending!"
Xu Jiaoran's words were like ice in a torrent, with firmness and cold determination. She was not someone who succumbed to power, but a wise person who stood at the top of power and controlled everything.
"You finally spoke your mind?"
Li Zhen's tone was full of shock and confusion. He had always thought that he was in control of everything, but he never expected that he would be schemed against by a woman.
However, he sneered again: "No matter how good your husband is, and no matter how dirty I am, you and him can only crawl under me!"
"I bother!"
Xu Jiaoran pulled out a dagger from her bosom and planned to commit suicide, "Even if I die, I will never surrender to a bastard like you!"
The cold light of the dagger caught her eyes, and the desire to end it all surged into her mind like a storm. However, Emperor Li Zhen blocked her way in a cold and powerful way. His hand tightly grasped the cold dagger, as if he was holding her despair and pain as well.
Li Zhen held the dagger, blood flowed out of his hand, staining their gorgeous clothes. He quickly threw the dagger away and pinched Xu Jiaoran's face.
"Want to die?" He asked coldly, his voice full of unquestionable majesty.
"It's not that easy. I want you to stay by my side and watch with your own eyes how I torture your husband."
His eyes were filled with anger and fanaticism, as if they were going to devour her. Xu Jiaoran's heart was filled with fear and despair. She couldn't believe that this was the man she once loved deeply. His eyes no longer had the tenderness and doting they once had, only coldness and ruthlessness.
The magnificence and prosperity of the palace became so dazzling at this moment, but Xu Jiaoran's eyes were filled with endless darkness. She wanted to struggle and escape from the man's bondage, but her body seemed to be tightly locked by invisible chains.
"Want to die? Not that easy!" She said fiercely, "I won't let you die. You have to live well and watch how your good husband is tortured by me."
"I want to die, and I have thousands of ways to do it. You can't stop me!" Xu Jiaoran said fiercely.
"You may as well die if you can still let go of your evil child." Li Zhen said viciously.
"My son is not dead?" Xu Jiaoran felt a little surprised, because his son's hope of life was rekindled.
