Chapter 57 Vengeance of the Whip
Chapter 57 Vengeance of the Whip
"I did it! But why? Why you have come to destroy me again?
Do you know how hard it was for me to be the queen, how hard it was for me to be the Empress
Dowager?
Why can't you let me enjoy it a little longer when I can finally enjoy the feeling of being above others
and don't have to be looked down upon?"
Crying, shouting, she shed tears. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Fanghua Xie didn't say anything.
She looked at her once beloved sister for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
“You said nobody loves you? When you were a child, you stole Dad's jade fan. Who was the one to get
beat for you?
When you were ten years old, you fell into a pond and nearly drowned. Who risked the life to save you?
When you were fifteen years old, we were taken together to the DL country..."
There was a sudden break in her voice, as if she had been reminded of some terrible memory.
Those clear and cool eyes caught a scarlet, with deep disappointment and hatred.
"On the way, how many times have people tried to defile you? Who protected you again and again?
Who was fighting them to death with a knife? Who was it! To protect you even if it cost me my own
innocence?"
And Liuse Xie was in a trance.
She looked at Fanghua Xie blankly, as if with her sonorous words scene by scene flashed those long-
lost past.
When she was young, she was suddenly subjected to family incident, and before she knew what was
happening, she and her sister were taken to the DL Country.
All the way, her sister taught her hide her beauty with plaster, so that the thief would not think of her.
But she was too fond of beauty, and though she said yes, she did not like it.
Finally, one night, when everyone was asleep, she quietly washed the plaster off her face with water.
She combed her hair as she admired her beautiful face in the water.
But at that moment the soldiers behind saw her and rushed towards her as if they had found a rare
treasure.
She was so frightened that she kept screaming as hard as she could.
In the end, her sister came out to save her.
She did not know what her sister had told the soldiers.
Later, the group of soldiers stopped pestering her and took her sister to the woods behind.
She went back to sleep and woke up the next day. Her sister came back with bruises on her face, torn
clothes and blood on her hands, but she said nothing had happened the night before.
She didn't think much of it at the time. She just wondered why she hadn't seen the soldiers since.
The young girl did not know what had happened, but now she was in her thirties.
She already knew what had happened that night in the woods.
It was just that she was not willing to admit and face it, as if the truth that made her regret would not
exist as long as she avoided it.
Liuse Xie looked at her sister and suddenly began to laugh.
And the laughter turned into tears.
It was like a wild animal's crying, with a shrill anguish and remorse.
A soldier came trotting up with a wooden box in his hand.
"Your Highness, the seal has been found."
Fanghua Xie took it, took a look at it and nodded.
She turned and went out, leading the men.
Behind her suddenly came a sad and shrill roar, "sister!"
She stopped, but did not look back.
The setting sun shone in from outside the hall, putting a golden glow on the young female general. Her
figure was as tall and straight as a pine, like the way she had been taught to practice guns when she
was young.
"Sister, I was wrong! I was wrong. Please spare me! We're sisters! You can't kill me, I'm your sister!”
She fell on her face and crawled all the way, with tears and snot mixing. She no longer looked like the
Empress Dowager of DL Country.
The woman in the military uniform still did not look back, but her eyes, which were covered in the
sunset glow, were stained with spots of red.
Her face tightened, and the hand holding the seal trembled slightly.
Her mind flashed the scene of climbing trees and playing mud with her sister over the wall when she
was a child.
But followed, there were countless clansmen, had tragic death in her hands.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
After a long time, she said in a cold voice, "The Empress Dowager Liuse Xie of DL Country does not
practice morality, goes rampant, and hurt the people, which is heinous! Kill her!"
The sky thundered and a thunderstorm began to sound.
Liuse Xie stood still and stared in disbelief at the woman standing at the door of the hall.
The woman reached into her bosom and brought out a bottle of poison and laid it on the ground.
“You were bitten by a snake when you were a child. It was I who sucked the poison out for you in spite
of the danger. I lay in bed for three whole months and nearly lost my life. This is the poison extracted by
snake, Use it!"
With that, she ignored Liuse Xie and strode away.
That was the end of the play.
Only the weird thing was that the whole studio didn't have a sound.
Natalia was embarrassed.
Was she terrible?
Not so! She had just put everything she knew about the character into it.
Suddenly, a burst of applause broke out.
Looking up, she saw Nathan.
He stood up from behind the monitor, with a look of disbelief, looking at Natalia excitedly.
"Great! Great!"
As he spoke, the rest of the audience pulled themselves out of the action, and then began to applaud.
"It's wonderful! Fancy acting is like that!"
"Yeah, I almost thought it was real."
"I am so moved!”
Natalia breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just proposed to play the scene because, in addition to avenging Laura, it had impressed her
so much when she first read the script.
Sane for this paragraph of sisterhood affection, more regret that fortitude female general.
She wanted actually was not the world!
It was just the most ordinary things in the world, such as parental affection and sisterhood, which were
easily available to ordinary people, but for her, they would never be able to get.
Obviously she had played it very successful, but Natalia suddenly had some lost.
Nathan came forward and smiled, “Good job, the whole process gives people a fresh feeling, really
amazing!"
Jessica intentionally covered a face and forced to smile, "Thank you, Director Nathan."
However, Nathan did not pay much attention to her now.
She didn't even notice she was covering her face.
Instead, he stared at Natalia closely and even asked with an ingratiating smile, "Natalia, do you really
like this play?"
Natalia was confused.
She didn't know why he asked her that.
She could only nod. "Yes, I read it two years ago when it first came out, and I loved it then."
Nathan excitedly rubbed his hands as if he had picked up treasure.
"Good, good."
Looking at this scene, Jessica faintly had some uneasy feeling for no reason.
Did he want Natalia to act in the play?
