Yu Niaoniao asked pitifully.
âCan I choose neither?â
Princess Ni Yang smiled. Her tone was gentle, but the words she spat out were extremely domineering.
âYou canât.â
Yu Niaoniao made up her mind and closed her eyes, like a brave warrior about to die.
âI canât sign this!â
The smile on Princess Ni Yangâs face instantly disappeared.
She emphasized her next words coldly.
âThrow her down.â
Two guards immediately came forward, grabbed Yu Niaoniaoâs arms, and lifted her up, preparing to throw her out the window.
Yu Niaoniao shouted in fear, âNo way? Youâre actually serious!â
Princess Ni Yang said, âDo you think Iâm joking with you?â
Yu Niaoniao gripped the edge of the window tightly and refused to let go.
âIâm your daughter-in-law after all. Are you really going to kill me?!â
Princess Ni Yang said, âI can even kill my own son, let alone you, my daughter-in-law. Throw her down.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âNo, no, no! If I die, who will continue the story of Phoenix Cry Nation? If I die, you wonât be able to see the finale of Phoenix Cry Nation for the rest of your life!â
Princess Ni Yang did not care.
âI really like the story of The Record of Phoenix Cry Nation, but unfortunately, you donât know how to appreciate favors. In that case, I can only bear the pain and part with my love to let you bring The Record of Phoenix Cry Nation to
Yu Niaoniao said, âYou canât do this! We can talk things over!â
Princess Ni Yang did not want to give her a chance to stall for time. She said, âClean it up.â Then, she turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
Half of Yu Niaoniaoâs body was pushed out the window.
Her nails were almost broken from gripping the edge of the window.
At this critical moment of life and death, she suddenly remembered what Xiao Juan had once said to herâ
Princess Ni Yang was a person with no empathy. Weakness and pleading were useless to her.
The only way to keep her from killing her was to not compromise or beg for mercy.
The more stubborn the other party was, the more she wanted to crush that person.
Yu Niaoniao shouted at the top of her lungs.
âDo you know why I refused to sign? Because I know that your rebellion will definitely not succeed this time! You have ambitions but no ability to govern the world. If I follow someone like you, Iâll only die!â Princess Ni Yang suddenly stopped.
She turned back and looked at Yu Niaoniao sharply.
âWhat did you say?â
Seeing that Princess Ni Yang had returned, the guards could only pause.
Half of Yu Niaoniaoâs body was in the room, and the other half was hanging in the air outside the window.
She spoke with difficulty, âYou know very well what Iâm saying. Youâre cold and brutal, disregarding human life. As long as the commoners of Liangzhou mentioned you, their faces would turn ashen and they would tremble. Youâre like the tiger you raised to them.â
âYou know what a tiger is, right? Itâs a beast who eats people without spitting out their bones!â
The guards shouted, âHow dare you!â
Princess Ni Yang had never been criticized like this in person, and her expression turned extremely ugly.
A guard advised, âYour Highness, please calm down. Iâll throw her down now to save her from talking nonsense.â
Princess Ni Yang sneered, and her tone was sinister. âItâs too easy on her to kill her like this. Put her in a water cell.â Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She didnât have to die for the time being.
The so-called water prison was to trap a person in a pool. The depth of the pool was just below the prisonerâs mouth. As long as the prisoner relaxed a little, the water would reach his nose and make him unable to breathe.
The prisoner would not feel anything for the time being, but after a long time, the prisonerâs stamina and willpower would gradually weaken. His body would not be able to hold on and it would become extremely torturous.
Yu Niaoniaoâs hands were tied behind her back. Her body was soaked in cold water. There were stone walls around her and an iron fence above her head. She looked up and saw Princess Ni Yang standing at the edge of the pool through the fence.
âAre you angry because I hit the nail on the head?â Princess Ni Yang looked down at her.
Along the way, Princess Ni Yang had calmed down a lot.
âI know. Youâre deliberately provoking me to stall for time.â
Yu Niaoniao laughed. âI admit that I did it on purpose, but Iâm telling the truth. You really donât have the potential to be a wise ruler.â
Princess Ni Yang said, âDo you think my brother can be considered a wise ruler if I canât become one? Heâs so suspicious. For the sake of power, he can even be ruthless to his own family. In terms of coldness, heâs not inferior! â
Yu Niaoniao said, âHeâs suspicious, but at least he still knows how to cover up his evil deeds. However, in order to satisfy your selfish desires, you can trample on the law without restraint, fish the commoners, and disregard human lives!â
Princess Ni Yangâs eyes revealed deep disappointment.
âI thought you would understand me very well, but it seems that I was wrong about you. You actually donât understand anything.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âI donât understand. I donât understand why you can naturally place yourself above others.â
âYou were just born into a good family. Whatâs so great about that?!â
âThe delicacies you eat every day, the silk and satin you wear, and all the privileges you have were exchanged with the hard-earned money of the commoners. â
âIt was difficult for the commoners to eat and wear warm clothes, but they still had to hand over most of their annual harvest to the Imperial Court.â
âThose grains were exchanged for money and turned into imperial delicacies for you to eat, drink, and enjoy.â
âBut you treated the commoners as ants and trampled on them wantonly. If a person like you can become emperor, the Dayan Dynasty will really be finished!â
Princess Ni Yang said coldly, âYou really dare to voice your thoughts.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âIn any case, Iâm already like this. Whatâs there not to say?â
On account of the other partyâs creation of The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation, Princess Ni Yang did not mind chatting with her a little more before she died.
Princess Ni Yang said unhurriedly.
âYouâre a woman too. You should know very well. Men had always placed importance on fame and fortune. I wanted to fight my way out of so many men. I had to be even more cold and heartless than men.â
âIâm going to get rid of anyone who gets in my way. I also want everyone to see how miserable it is to be my enemy. Those who submit will prosper, and those who disobey will die!â
âThis is the only way to intimidate those restless thieves. I thought you would understand all this. Unfortunately, you disappointed me.â
âYouâre like those mortals outside. You talk about benevolence and morality, but you actually donât know anything.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âTo put it bluntly, youâll do anything to achieve your goal. Arenât you afraid of being notorious for generations?
Princess Ni Yang asked, âSo what if I am? Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles. When I achieve great things in the future, who would remember what kind of person I used to be?â
âHistory had always been written by the victors.. In the future, all the people in the world will remember will be my great achievements!â
