I insist

Chapter 512: Gone Mad

"Your Majesty, the Demon Consort is with the Emperor right now, you can't go yet, please wait." A palace maid stopped her.

Liuli had no choice but to stop what she was doing, her face extremely pale. She sat back down in her chair, her eyes sharp.

She spent the night like this, and only after she felt that the emperor had gone to court did she stand up and go to the palace of the evil concubine as quickly as possible.

The enchanting concubine was currently dressing up when she arrived. She smiled slightly and said, "Sister, what a rare guest you are! What brings you here?"

"Why did you make the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince? What exactly are you trying to do?" Liuli had no intention of talking to her about anything else and directly questioned her.

The demon queen looked at Liuli through the mirror and smiled slightly: "I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to live, just like you."

Liuli looked at the demon concubine, feeling that she had other motives. She just stared at her without saying a word.

The demon queen turned around, yawning, and looked at Liuli. She spoke again, "Of course, besides that, I also want you to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy."

Upon hearing the Demon Consort's words, Liuli was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"If I heard correctly, the emperor's beloved concubine in front of me is actually afraid of me? You are actually afraid of me? That's great, that's exactly what I want you to be afraid of."

The demon queen didn't care about this at all. She stood up and said, "Indeed, I am afraid of you. After all, everyone is afraid of death. Liuli, do you think you are not afraid?"

If you weren't afraid, you wouldn't be here today, you wouldn't be asking me this. You've lost this battle.

Liuli's lips curled slightly upwards: "Did I lose? It seems you're overthinking it. I haven't lost at all. The entire palace is now under my control."

How could I possibly lose? Let's talk about that when you truly have control of the palace.

After saying that, Liuli left without looking back, a smile on her face, and she looked very smug.

The palace maid who had been watching Liuli leave came out, and she frowned slightly: "Your Highness, why did you say that? Wouldn't that just embolden her?"

"We need to fuel her arrogance. If we want to get rid of her, we need to let her go crazy for a while so we can find something to use against her."

The demon queen looked at Liuli's retreating figure and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the palace maid immediately understood what it meant. She reached out and took the concubine's hand, smiling as she said, "Your Majesty is truly wise."

Liuli returned to her palace with a smile on her face, and as soon as she entered, she saw the old eunuch sitting to the side.

Upon seeing him, Liuli's smile widened: "Godfather, you've finally come. I thought you'd forgotten you had a goddaughter."

"How could I forget you? I've heard about everything that happened to you," the old eunuch said slowly, looking at Liuli.

Because Liuli controlled the entire palace, the old eunuch was not afraid to enter or leave the palace. The old eunuch was very dissatisfied with Liuli's actions and came to persuade Liuli to leave the palace.

"Father, don't you think your daughter's abilities have grown considerably? From now on, you can come and go as you please in this palace, and no one will say a word against you."

"From now on, this place will be my domain, Godfather. Aren't you happy?" Liuli asked with a smile.

The old eunuch frowned slightly: "I'm not happy at all. Seeing you like this, I only feel terrified. Liuli, let's give up everything, okay?"

We left the palace and lived a peaceful life in anonymity. All we needed to do was survive. And what you did here…

"It's like living on a knife's edge. If the sword falls, you're dead. Your godfather only asks that you live. Promise me, okay?"

Liuli hadn't expected the old eunuch to come and persuade her to let go. Her face turned pale, and she said loudly, "No, not at all!"

I've already come this far, why should I give up? Shouldn't you support me? The entire palace is now in my hands.

The Emperor listens to me, and even his favorite concubine is afraid of me. This is just the first step; next, the whole world will be mine.

Anyone who doesn't do as I please, I will kill or slowly torture until I'm satisfied.

After saying that, Liuli turned her gaze to the old eunuch: "Your godfather, shouldn't you be happy that I've gone this far?"

Why are you afraid of me? Once I've achieved what I want to achieve, you'll be very proud, won't you?"

"It's not honorable of me. I know why you did all this—it's just to get revenge on Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu. But they are not people you can bring yourself to do."

Do you know that I promised to take you away in order to get him to let you go? If the Emperor finds out what you've done, you're doomed.

"If you don't leave the capital, Yu Huailin won't let you off the hook. Look at yourself, you're not the same person anymore. You've changed, you've become terrifying."

After listening to the old eunuch's words, Liuli gave him a sharp look and asked, "Why did you agree on my behalf? Why did you beg him? I can save myself."

Why do you need to beg him? I'm not afraid of him anymore. Now, if I just speak to the Emperor, he will die, and Song Miqiu will die too.

"Are you crazy? I think you really are. I can't let you continue like this."

The old eunuch frowned slightly when he saw Liuli, who was on the verge of madness. He knew he couldn't let her continue like this; he didn't want her to die like this.

Liuli's eyes sharpened instantly, and she said softly, "Godfather, you should stand with me. Why do you have to stop me?"

To prevent you from ruining my plans, I'm sorry, but guards, take him away and keep him under strict surveillance.

As soon as he finished speaking, two people rushed out of the door. Upon seeing the old eunuch, they rushed over and grabbed his arm without saying a word, pulling him outside.

Before the old eunuch could figure out what was going on, he shouted, "Liuli, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"I won't let you go. I can't let anyone ruin my plans, including you. Who knows if you'll go looking for Yu Huailin after you get out of here?"

Godfather, I can't trust anyone anymore, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you. Don't worry, it won't be long, once Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu are dead...

I will release you. In the end, I will be the one to defeat them, not the other way around.

Liuli slowly walked to the old eunuch's side, looked into his eyes, and spoke earnestly, word by word.

She didn't know Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu's abilities, but he did. He opened his mouth and said, "You can't beat them."
