[1] Transmigrated Into a World of Villains

The tyrant looked down at little Ah Bao.

At that moment, Ah Bao was gazing up at him with clear, wide eyes.

[Poor father, your death is truly pitiful.]

The tyrant was already drenched in cold sweat.

But his face remained inscrutable, like an old fox, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

"Your... Your Majesty..." Concubine Li, who had been stabbed, crawled toward the tyrant.

Her path was marked with blood, a distressing sight.

Concubine De frowned. She had intended to ask for help, but upon hearing Ah Bao's thoughts, she now looked at the tyrant with concern.

The emperor was undoubtedly a great source of grievances.

"Your Majesty, help me," Concubine Li was now barely holding on.

She mentally praised the assassin who had died with the greatest admiration.

He was too smart!

The assassin had appeared just in time!

Blocking the knife for the emperor was definitely a merit that would keep her out of the cold palace, haha.

"Take Concubine Li to the cold palace!" The tyrant's eyebrows arched, his eyes gleaming coldly, his expression one of ruthless indifference.

Concubine Li: ?

She froze at the tyrant's feet.

Your... Your Majesty, are you even speaking humanly?

I just saved you.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Li instinctively spoke, clutching at the tyrant's clothing as if it were a lifeline.

Two eunuchs quickly stepped forward and restrained Concubine Li.

Blood was seeping from her wound, staining the pink brocade skirt like a blooming, enchanting rose.

One must say, if someone else had been stabbed and the knife removed, blood would have spurted out profusely.

In no time, they would have lost too much blood and fallen unconscious.

But today, it seemed the assassin's knife skills were lacking, and the stab was misplaced.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

"How dare you ask why?" The tyrant's anger was palpable, "The Dali Temple has already confirmed that you were behind the corrupt dealings of Li Yuqing.

The assassin who targeted the Empress Dowager was also arranged by you.

If it weren't for your long years in the palace, do you think I would merely send you to the cold palace?"

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I didn't do those things," Concubine Li cried out in distress.

The tyrant found her complaints tiresome. "Concubine Li, you have been arrogant and domineering in the harem. I have turned a blind eye to your mother's contributions to the Tiansheng Dynasty.

But to think you are so venomous, repeatedly targeting Concubine De, and even extending your claws to the court.

How can I tolerate this!"

"Your Majesty, even if I have a thousand faults, my heart towards you is true. I would give my life for you."

"Do I need to spell it out for you? Should I investigate this assassination in detail?"
