Chapter 672: Chapter 672: You woman, your heart is really ruthless_1

"What if the bottle I choose is not poisoned?" asked Qin Kun, "Does it mean that, if I don’t die, you’ll plan to let me go?"

The reason Qin Kun doesn’t look scared at the moment is that he calculated that he still has one final move left.

Dowager Empress Jiang looked at Qin Kun once again: "You know, I believe in fate. When you helped Xuan Yi ascend to the throne, I wagered with you. Two lots, if I drew the shorter one, I would listen to you; if I drew the longer one, you would listen to me. I drew the short lot and so, we should follow the old rules. There are two bottles. You pick one."

Two ceramic bottles, one white and one blue, now Dowager Empress Jiang put her hand in to let Qin Kun choose.

However, Qin Kun did not immediately pick a bottle. Instead, he grabbed the Dowager Empress’s hand and pulled her towards him.

It was just a pity that a wooden pillar was blocking the way, otherwise, the Dowager Empress would definitely have been pulled into his embrace. The Dowager Empress was always soft-hearted. Before, whenever Qin Kun held her in his arms or pressed her under his body, she would be lost and would always listen to Qin Kun.

Qin Kun was a villain in the eyes of the Emperor, but in the eyes of Dowager Empress Jiang, he was always that arrogant and ruthless man from years ago.

Unable to pull Dowager Empress Jiang close, Qin Kun simply held onto her hand and looked at her: "You heartless woman."

The Dowager Empress began to breathe heavily, but she neither struggled nor did she show any hesitation in her eyes. Despite tears rolling down her face, she still looked at Qin Kun and said firmly, "Choose one."

"Well, it’s your demand for me to choose!"

Qin Kun released Dowager Empress Jiang’s hand, took the two bottles from her, and first opened the blue one to take a sniff: "Haha, it’s my favorite Peach Blossom Brew."

Then he opened the other bottle to take a sniff: "Hmm, your favorite girl’s red. I remember the first time you got drunk, you drank Girl’s Red. We were still childhood sweethearts then, innocent and naive. But then news started going around that you had been chosen to enter the palace, and my heart felt as if it had been sliced..."

"Stop talking!" Tears streamed down Dowager Empress Jiang’s face.

"Why can’t I speak? Is it because the previous Emperor thought the whole world, and all the women in it, belonged to him, which led to our separation? If it weren’t for my continuous efforts to climb to the top, I would perhaps have never had the chance to see you."

"Do you remember that hunting trip? After years of being apart, we met again. As you wept about the sadness of palace life, it was like rekindling our old affection, and we made plans afterwards. Wasn’t all our effort aimed at being able to be together every day?"

Dowager Empress Jiang took a deep breath, "We are already together, so why do you still want to seize Xuan Yi’s throne?"

"Didn’t all this originally belong to me, Wanqing? Now that I have usurped the throne, you are still my beloved. But if I did not seize the throne, would Xuan Yi have let me lead a quiet life? No, even if I retired and went back to my hometown, once his power was consolidated, he would try his very best to kill me. Wanqing, think about it carefully. Isn’t that right?"

Seeing some hesitation on Dowager Empress Jiang’s face, Qin Kun said: "Wanqing, let me go, I know you can find a way. Consider it for the many years’ sake we’ve been together and give me a chance to live."

Dowager Empress Jiang’s tears surged forth once again, she quickly turned away, her shoulders shaking
