The Choice Queen's

TCQ 64: Cold Hand

In the Cold Palace, Su Min had worse days than in prison. As night fell, the eerie voices behind the palace were always heard, like the voice of a ghost calling out to her to force her to join them.

The secluded, silent, heavily guarded and no access made the Cold Palace extremely frightening. This place is more horrible than a prison. Although the occupants could see the light of the sun, his life was nothing more than a house arrest. He would be tormented with solitude and distress throughout his life.

Su Min was lucky that the King did not lock her inside the palace building. Some of the concubines who were banished to the Cold Palace in the last few decades were usually locked up inside the palace buildings.

All windows that pass on light are closed and locked. The door was also locked so that the room went dark, there was no difference between day and night.

The only people who have access are food handlers. Over time, the eyes of the concubine locked inside the Cold Palace building would be blinded as it continued to be in darkness.

Being unable to move freely and not seeing the light, it was enough to make one suffer greatly. In the end, most locked-up concubines prefer suicide because they can't stand the pressure and misery that comes at them.

He said the spirits of the concubines who had been locked up since Donghao was founded had turned into celestial spirits. Some people often say they often hear women's voices crying and roaring at night. The voice seemed to be telling how miserable they were before they died.

Su Min repeatedly woke up whenever the strange sounds were heard. That left him often unable to sleep and slowly his mental health began to be disrupted.

After news of his father's execution reached his ears, Su Min went crazy and destroyed all the objects in the Cold Palace.

He also nearly killed the only servant given to him. The waiter was frightened and ran for help.

But until nightfall, the servant did not return. There was only Su Min inside the palace, she stared at the dimming moon with a blank look.

Su Min turned his head as he heard a voice like a pair of legs stepping towards him. Under the dim light of the moon entering through the window, he faintly saw the figure of a man, black-robed, looking mysteriously walking towards him.

“Who are you?” ask Su Min. “Who allowed you to come in here?”

The man stopped right in front of him. His head was covered in a covering that fused with his black robe.

This appearance of his, if Li Fengran existed, he would definitely call him an angel of death. The man then opened his hood, looked up and smiled at Su Min.

“I am your angel of death,” said the man.

Su Min's feelings suddenly deteriorated. He stared fixedly at that face, then his eyes widened. “You! Why is that you?”

The man grinned. “If not me, then who else? Do you think the King is coming?”

Su Min retreated as the man approached. He felt danger approaching him.

“I have no business with you. What are you doing here?” ask Su Min again. “Zichuan and Jinchuan have no grudges. The Su family has also been destroyed.”

“My deal with you is not territory related,” the man grinned again. “Su Min, you have made me angry. Who let you act on him?”

Su Min was confused about who this person was referring to. He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed lightly. This man came because Su Min had been bothering that woman!

“Heh, so, you like the Sword Stakeholder? A Zichuan Great Lord, the venerable Shen Jinglang, turned out to like a lowly woman named Li Fengran?”

Shen Jinglang was struck with emotion. He wanted to cut off Su Min's brazen tongue, but he thought that it would be very troublesome when he faked his death.

Shen Jinglang who was displeased because Su Min dared to hurt Li Fengran immediately choked her neck and grinned.

“Although you know, you will not be able to tell it to people,” whispered Shen Jinglang.

“Ap-what-do you want to do?” Su Min started to shorten her breath as her neck was strangled.

Then, his free hand touched Su Min's smooth forehead. His eyes were filled with a grim killing aura, far more gloomy than the Cold Palace in the night. Shen Jinglang stroked her for a moment, she kissed Su Min's forehead with her cold lips.

“Here you hurt him?” tanyanya while touching Su Min's forehead. Su Min shuddered, she was trying to let go of herself but her strength was not comparable to the might of a man like Shen Jinglang.

“How? Did you like my present just now, Miss Su? Ah, your father also liked the gift I gave him last time. Oops, but someone turned out to mess it up.”

Su Min then turned his back.

“That's you! You made the King and the Sword Bearer catch my father's mistake! You wolf!”

“Wrong. I just threw the bait from the Xiaoqin Brothel House. Unfortunately, the King and the Sword Saint were too intelligent to know the secret behind the death of Queen Ling.”

Now Su Min understood who had made his father have the courage to poison Queen Ling to death.

It's Shen Jinglang! Shen Jinglang who gave the idea of poisoning Queen Ling and making her father carry out his mistake alone!

“You savage!”

“Sstttt…. Women should not say dirty words.”

Su Min then spat at Shen Jinglang out of anger and hatred. It turned out that all the things that befell him and his family were schemes started by Shen Jinglang! He never expected that Great Lord Zichuan would be that cruel!

“I asked once again. Is this where you hurt him?”

Shen Jinglang again touched Su Min's forehead. His expression turned cold and creepy.

Shen Jinglang suddenly dragged Su Min near the table, then she banged Su Min's head against the table. Su Min grimaced as blood flowed from his forehead.

“Because the King cannot give you death, then I will take his place. I will make you suffer more than execution.”

Shen Jinglang grabbed a bottle of poison from inside her robe, then she forced Su Min to drink it. Su Min spat it out, but Shen Jinglang again licked the poison through his throat. Su Min's throat was hot and itchy and also sore.

As Shen Jinglang let go, Su Min yelled at her, but her voice did not come out. He nodded and panicked.

Su Min pointed at Shen Jinglang who was grinning while fixedly looking at her.  Now Shen Jinglang grabbed Su Min's hand and gave the broken piece of the porcelain bottle.

“It's a shame that no one can hear your beautiful voice anymore. Ah, in addition to damaging your vocal cords, the poison you drank just now will also attack your heart and heart. You can choose to end it sooner or be tormented for some time.”

Shen Jinglang in Su Min's eyes was a cold-handed assassin. He is able to hide everything well and is very good at finding calculations.

Su Min harbored a lot of hatred, it made the poison within his body react faster and before Shen Jinglang left, he had already collapsed because his chest felt tight.

Shen Jinglang squatted before him as she continued to smile.

“Quickly incarnate, Miss Su.”

Then, Shen Jinglang covered his head back with a hood and left the Cold Palace. Su Min was suffering even more, now his heart was beating faster and his joints were like being forced apart from his bones. Su Min shouted without a sound. The blood on his head kept dripping onto the floor and filling his face.

Su Min looked at the porcelain shards in his hand and thought. Should he end it sooner?
