The Birth Of A Villainess

The empress tried to get away from him but Emperor Yun kicked her and slapped her.

The sounds of her wailing and painful moans were inky things that could be heard inside the Jade Palace.

The servants around couldn't do anything as they knew that this was the end of their time and most likely, the emperor will have their heads for keeping the truth from him.

"Your majesty! Please stop!" The empress cried with tears and snots on her beautiful face. Her thin robe slipped from her shoulder and her pale and fair shoulder were seen by everyone inside the sleeping quarter.

"Why are you doing this, your majesty?" Asked the empress who was still clueless about what happened.

"Ha! You dare try to act Innocent when the proof is here!" Bellowed Emperor Yun and continued kicking her.

What does he mean by that? Thought the empress and stiffened when she caught sight of the young man who was now quivering in fear on the bed. He was woken up by the shouts and commotion that was going on..

With large eyes, the empress was in disbelief. She clearly told her trusted maids to lead the young man outside after the deed was done so, why was he still in her bed?

While the emperor was beating her, the empress looked around to see that one of her trusted maids was restrained by a guard and was also in tears.

Until that point, the empress finally understood what was going on. Ahh… she was busted.

But how?

The empress didn't know that when she fell asleep, the young man who was led out of her sleeping quarters was carried back by someone. And in order to not arouse the empress while she was sleeping, a strange incense was lit to keep them from waking up.

With bleeding hands and lips, the empress started to plead to the emperor who got tired and breathless after kicking and slapping the empress.

"Your Majesty, please believe me!" She pointed a shaky finger towards the young man, "That man must have gone inside my quarters and got paid by someone! Base on our relationship, there's no way that I would do this and risk my position and Your Majesty's feelings for me!"

"Is that so?" Emperor Yun scoffed. He had never seen someone so brazen like the empress who dared to use their relationship as a basis for her loyalty to him when the hard proof of her sins was visible in her body.

Just by looking at the red marks on her necks and shoulders, Emperor Yun was disgusted by her and had the urge to strangle her but stopped when he thought that it would be better to use these marks to stop the Qin family to evade his punishment.

The empress was from the Qin family which was also part of the higher-ranking families in the Empire. The father of the Empress was currently the Grand Chancellor and has been acting arrogantly towards the emperor as he was thinking that Emperor Yun won't go against him since he's the father of the empress.

"Qin Wei." Emperor Yun finally called the Empress by her name and made Empress Qin Wei shudder in fear, "Do you think just because I have a bit of feeling for you, I won't punish you? That I won't kill you?! Dream on! I will make sure you will pay for your actions!"

Empress Qin Wei whimpered in fear.

She knew that the moment the emperor called out her name, everything was fucked up and the emperor has closed his mind and won't listen to anyone's explanation.

Defeated, Empress Qin Wei could only cry and regret her past actions. If she was only careful with her actions, Emperor Yun wouldn't have known her affairs with other men.

But how could she not commit adultery when her own husband was too busy entertaining other women from the inner courtyard that was filled with concubines waiting upon the emperor. She was no longer young and beautiful unlike the concubines in the palace. There's no way she would be able to live knowing that her husband could play with other women. No woman could.

That's why… Empress Qin Wei decided to kill her love for her husband and poured out her love for other males. She only copied his majesty's actions, what was wrong with it?

Unfortunately, Empress Qin Wei forgot that she was no ordinary woman that could act boldly. She was the empress and as the mother of the empire, no matter how many women the emperor has played with, she must endure and protect the crown on her head from being snatched.

"This isn't my fault, Your Majesty." Said the empress who stared at Emperor Yun, "It's all your fault. That little affection you have for me? Don't you know that is what killed me? I'm only filling the loneliness you've given to me."

"Is that why you killed so many people to keep your secrets from me?" Emperor Yun chuckled when the empress stilled after hearing him said this. "Do you think that after what happened today, your Qin family will be able to get out of this safe and sound when they actually helped the filthy empress to commit murder and sent young handsome males to you?"

Grabbing the empress by her chin, Emperor continued, "Qin Wei, thanks to you. Your Qin family will have to be punished too."

Empress Qin Wei stared wide-eyed at him. She was only able to speak her heart out to the emperor because she thought that he only knew about her adulterous deeds and would only punish her but in the actuality of it, Emperor Yun even knew that her Qin family has helped her from doing things.

"Throw that woman to the Cold Palace and lock her up. Also, call the Grand Chancellor to the court with his family. I will see what kind of beastly hearts they have for myself." Said Emperor Yun as he rubbed his hands against each other as if to expel the dirt in it before turning to his head eunuch, "As for that man. Skin him alive and cut off his dick before feeding it to him. He dared to touch what is mine. It is also good that I'm being this merciful to let him keep his life."

The emperor flicked his sleeves as he walked out of the Jade Palace. The empress and the man wailed and cried for mercy but Emperor Yun ignored them.

While there was a commotion going inside the Jade Palace, on the roof of the courtyard near it, a man clad in black stood while the rain fell on his figure.

He stayed there for a long time, watching the Jade Palace from afar. And when he saw Emperor Yun leaving with a dark face and veins popping out of his forehead, the man clad in black disappeared from the roof as if his mission was done.
