When The Empress Counterattacks

Two petite woman are currently watching a scene without expression, like a doll, unmoving and lifeless but their pair of bright and big eyes can't hide the pained, sorrowful and deep hatred that they are feeling.

Under the ethereal glow of the enchanting moon stood a tall woman of otherworldly beauty. Her back was straight as a towering mountain, unshakable and unwavering. Her dark and silky long hair dance gracefully in her back as her black gown fluttered like an elegant flower petal swayed by the fresh and calming air.

It looks so breathtaking that people who will witness this scene would not forget this in their entire lifetime. It was so perfect...but if you look closely into the immortal like lady's eyes, you will find that her perfectly shaped eyes held nothing. Her once calm, wisdom filled and hypnotising eyes was now...

Empty. Lifeless. Dead.

And you also cannot ignore the bloodied bodies of dozens men in black lying in the ground, all perished in the hands of the same woman.

Calla and Lily watch their Mistress in absolute silence. As they understand how much blow their Mistress taken today.

Her father's death.

And earlier they also witnessed death of... their Mistress's mother and two brothers.

Yes.

Madam Bai and the two young master Bai already died...in the same way as Minister Bai.

The three was... beheaded.

The matchless face of the beauty look up into the starry filled sky.

'As the moon and stars as the witness I, Bai Xiu Lan will remember this blood feud!!!'

In the chilly night a bloody vow was made.

____________

A few years have past and the White Empire take a great changes.

First. The Leaders of the known and respected family of Bai was killed in a single night.

Second. The also one of the huge clan, the Song Clan's Master , Song Zheng also died after a months before the death of his sworn brother. Resulting in the decline of their family business. As his only son, Song Zedong may be a prodigy in politics but not in the business.

Third. The no backing but still favored Consort of the Emperor will be crowned as the Mother of the Nation tomorrow!!!

Morning came and people was in uproar as this day is not just any ordinary day but the birth of new Phoenix! The coronation of the Empress!!!

Within the ceremonial hall the people wore their magnificent and grand robes, flaunting to everybody. Glares of sparkling jewelries are blinding the hall with wealthiness and gaudiness. Everyone is joyous, well appeared to be joyous. The hall was buzzing till an announcement silenced them all before saluting at the incoming couple with great bootl.i.c.k.i.n.g and fawning manner.

"Greeting Your Majesty and Her Majesty! May the Phoenix and the Dragon lives till the world exists!"

"Rise!".

The Emperor's stern and authority filled voice was heard in the huge and expansive hall.

" You are here to witness my belove---..."

The Emperor did not manage to finish his speech as people screamed rang in the hall. Some were confused but then realized that men in black outfit with simple white mask was speeding in the direction of the most two prestigious couple in the Empire.

'Sending people to disrupt my coronation? Not so easy!'

I killed those assassins who neared me. Base in my skill I could fend with them easily but the Emp...

'The Emperor!!!'

I send a glance and horrified by what I saw. One of the assassin was in the Emperor's back, ready to slash him as the soldiers are busy fighting the other assassins.

I didn't think that much and speed towards and push him away from the person's attack.

Ant the result was...me... stabbed in the left c.h.e.s.t with a long dagger.

I watch as the always dignified and strict man ran towards in my direction frantically. Screaming my name. Then that time I realized something.

My heart of steel was melted by this man.

The man who gave me everything.

The man who look at me with full of love.

The man same man I broke.

The man I ignore.

I know now that I'm on my limit, I am gonna die. So with my last breath, I mouthed...

' I love you.' Long Xiang, my Emperor. If their is a next lifetime... I will find you.

Then... I...died facing the audience. And the last thing I saw before dying was not my beloved Emperor but the monster in human skin... Song Zedong, smiling triumphantly.

I was pulled out in my own world as I felt a tugged at my skirt.

I look at the cute and adorable baby boy, who is looking at me with his big bright eyes and smiling lips.

"Pretty big sister please don't cry. Here is a flower for you."

I intently look at him making the cute little bun blush hardly making my mood brighten a bit.

The child marveled at the smiling beautiful big sister and he,too laugh hardly.
