Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Aren’t you wondering what I would choose to do?

Let me show you.”

The empress was still holding the dagger in her raised hand. Her eyes widened as she looked at Liu Sanniang in disbelief. She looked at Liu Sanniang’s palm, which was holding her heart.

“My choice is that we all live, and you die.”

Liu Sanniang squeezed the empress’s heart, crushing it. The empress let out a heart-wrenching scream. “No—”

Liu Sanniang was in an illusion. If the empress wanted to kill Liu Sanniang, she would naturally have to be in the illusion too. If she died in the illusion, she would be gone.

She didn’t want to die.

Why was Liu Sanniang awake? Before she built this illusion, she had clearly eliminated all the possible threats.

Liu Sanniang was supposed to be immersed in this beautiful illusion. How could she be awake?

Regardless of whether the empress admitted it or not, Liu Sanniang was awake. The cuts she had inflicted on Liu Sanniang were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for the empress, there was a bloody hole in her heart that could not be healed no matter what.

The empress did not understand why Liu Sanniang could break her illusion.

Liu Sanniang grabbed the empress’s hand and released her power. The empress gradually disappeared.

In an instant, the illusion changed and the sound of soldiers could be heard.

The fierce brigands were all caught, and the Liu family was saved.

Madam Wei hugged Liu Sanniang and wiped the blood off her face. Seeing that her face was as good as new, Madam Wei was relieved.

The family returned home and reunited happily. Liu Sanniang did not want them to worry, so she naturally had to give this illusion a good ending.

The illusion ended. To the Liu family, it was as if they had a dream. When they woke up from the dream, nothing changed.

In the huge palace, everyone was looking at the empress and Liu Sanniang nervously. After Liu Sanniang grabbed the empress’s hand, she slowly closed her eyes and stopped moving.

People could only wait.

Xia Bingguang had already given the order to detain the Crown Prince, and it was only a matter of time before the Crown Prince was deposed. The hall was surrounded by the imperial guards layer by layer, and no one could leave.

The sky had already turned dark and bright. Three days later, the empress suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were resentful and indignant as she let out a desperate roar. “No—”

She couldn’t even finish a sentence before she fell straight down.

Liu Sanniang had already opened her eyes and let go.

Xia Bingguang quickly walked down from the throne. “Miss Liu, are… are you done?”

Liu Sanniang nodded slightly with a pale face. “The empress is already dead.”

In the end, she did not manage to read the empress’s mind and did not know if the empress was the real one or fake.

The empress was far stronger than Liu Sanniang had expected. If not for Chu Yan waking her up, she would have died in the illusion.

Liu Sanniang glanced at the officials in the imperial court. The officials who were glanced at by her trembled and had a bad feeling.

The empress had personally admitted that she was in charge of an organization. How many people in the imperial court had been swapped by her?

Everyone was in a panic.

Xia Bingguang knew that this was not a small matter. He looked at Liu Sanniang and asked, “Miss Liu, what should I do in the future to catch those rats hiding in the gutter?”

Liu Sanniang looked at the empress on the ground and said slowly, “Within three days, the fake ones will reveal themselves.”

Once the empress died, the people controlled by her could no longer maintain their appearance.

For a face to grow on a person, it needed power. When power disappeared, the face that did not belong to the person would naturally disappear.

Xia Bingguang ordered in a low voice, “Guard the palace tightly. Arrest any unfamiliar faces.”

Not only in the imperial court, but also in the mansions of the officials. Now that the empress was dead, the imposters had lost their support. Naturally, they would reveal their true appearance.

The officials who had not returned home for a few days complained.

“Your Majesty, I’m old. These few days are already my limit. This criminal is already dead. Why do we have to suffer here?”

An old official wailed.

Then, several officials echoed.

Xia Bingguang was more silent than ever. He knew better than anyone the evil nature of this matter. “If you feel uncomfortable staying in the hall, I can send you to prison. My prison is big and can accommodate you!”

Xia Bingguang could not tolerate any rats messing up his dynasty.

As soon as he said that, the complaining voices disappeared.

They had already waited for a few days. It wouldn’t hurt to wait a few more days. Even if they did not want to wait, Xia Bingguang would not let them leave. If they forced their way out, they would be beheaded right on the spot.

The voices of objection died down.

The empress’s corpse had already been placed in a coffin. Three days passed quickly, and it was soon at the dawn of the third day.

The palace servant guarding the coffin rushed over and reported, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the face is changed. The face has completely changed.” Xia Bingguang asked excitedly, “What did it become?”

The palace servant said, “She no longer looks like the empress. She is a complete stranger.”

Xia Bingguang glanced around the hall. No one seemed to have changed. Xia Bingguang was puzzled and could not help but look at Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang looked out of the hall at the rising sun and said calmly, “The sun has already risen. The sunlight has already shone into the darkness. Let’s go outside.”

Xia Bingguang looked outside and ordered, “Everyone, follow me out.”

Xia Bingguang led the way out.

Xian Fei and her son followed behind him, followed by the officials.

Liu Sanniang leaned against Chu Yan and said, “If Xiang’er is real, will you like her?”

In the illusion, she and Chu Yan had a daughter, but Chu Yan did not seem to like her very much. Liu Sanniang had questions. Did Chu Yan really not like her, or did he not like her because she was fake?

Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and said gently, “I will like her if she is really our daughter, but again, just like I said, no one can surpass you in my heart.”

Liu Sanniang recalled what Chu Yan said in the illusion. She smiled at Chu Yan and said, “Me too.”

Whether it was in the illusion or now, she had fallen in love with Chu Yan. She had decided to be with him and no one could replace him.

Chu Yan suddenly lowered his head and kissed Liu Sanniang fiercely..
