Chapter 80 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (6)
Revised and edited on: Otaku Translation

Who would be willing to push their own daughter into a fire pit?

Everyone who saw this situation couldn't help but sigh.

The Emperor was tyrannical and unreasonable, but he was able to maintain his power, causing suffering to the people of the world.

As they approached the capital, the girls became more and more desperate.

This was a place that eats people without spitting out bones. Could they still survive?

Amidst this, Bai Tang appeared unnaturally calm, keeping her eyes closed to conserve her strength.

Li Xing'er was afraid and asked, "Bai Tang, what should I do if I am chosen to be the empress?"

None of the women present had any desire to become the empress.

Six empresses had already died, a testament to the Emperor's tyranny. Without any imperial concubines in the harem, only an empress could be crowned.

Bai Tang reassured her, "You don't have to worry about becoming the empress. Just be cautious and careful in the palace, and everything will be fine."

With her there, how could she let these girls be chosen as the empress?

The fear and panic spread among the group. The magnificent, solemn, and exquisite imperial palace failed to impress these girls from the countryside, but instead filled them with immense terror.

General Luo brought back more than thirty beautiful women, and after grooming, they all had the same hairstyle, adorned with pearl flowers, and dressed in identical pink palace gowns.

The girls knelt on the grand hall floor, bowing their bodies. No one dared to speak, trembling with fear, unsure of their fate.

Bai Tang maintained her position, still as a statue. During the ten-plus days she had been escorted back to the capital, she had learned a lot of information from others.

The current emperor of Qin was Nie Suzhi, born of a demon queen. He had killed his father, mother, and elder brother to ascend to the throne with an iron fist. If any officials opposed him, he would kill them until they submitted.

This was the outside world's evaluation of the Emperor. Bai Tang had listened all the way and knew that Nie Suzhi was not a fool. It was impossible for him to gain control of the entire Great Qin dynasty just by killing people.

Although he had been in power for four years, there were no foreign enemies daring to invade, despite internal turmoil. This only indicated that this person was not only ruthless but also powerful. Having power and loyal followers was a very troublesome thing.

After kneeling for about four hours, the girls' legs were completely numb. The more severe ones even felt as if their legs were no longer their own.

The high-pitched voice of the eunuch sounded, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone held their breath and became even more afraid. The Emperor's notorious reputation preceded him, and who wouldn't be afraid of him?

Bai Tang casted a sidelong glance and saw that this Emperor was wearing a black-gold dragon robe, with black as the main color and gold-thread embroidered dragons.

Nie Suzhi walked to the front of the thirty-odd women with his hands behind his back. His sharp, oppressive eyes scanned the crowd before finally kindly giving the order, "All of you may lift your heads."

Upon hearing the words, Bai Tang lifted her head directly and stood up straight, her gaze calm and gentle as she looked ahead.

With just one glance, Bai Tang confirmed that Nie Suzhi had the same soul as Shi Minzhi.

Their faces were astonishingly alike, but their positions and statuses were vastly different, with Nie Suzhi possessing the air of a cruel emperor.

This person was really interesting, Bai Tang thought to herself. She couldn't help but wonder which devil had come to these three thousand worlds to gain a sense of existence and power.

Bai Tang's performance stood out among the group of frightened women. Nie Suzhi immediately noticed the beautiful woman and, for some unknown reason, felt a sense of familiarity. He even felt an urge to kill her, his intuition telling him that keeping this woman around would surely cause trouble.

Why wasn't she afraid at all?

Unlike the other women, who were all trembling with fear, Bai Tang showed no sign of fear.

Gradually, the other girls also lifted their heads, but none of them dared to meet Nie Suzhi's gaze.

Seeing Nie Suzhi's face, most of the girls were slightly dazed.

When he was a prince, he was known as a calamity star, but his appearance was exceptional. The crown on his head accentuated his nobility and majesty, with his sharp eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a cold, fierce gaze. His high nose, lips that were as red as blood, and the slight curve at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of evil.
