Liu Sanniang said slowly, "Aren't you wondering what I would choose to do? Let me show you."
The empress was still holding the dagger in her raised hand. Her eyes widened as she looked at Liu Sanniang in disbelief. She looked at Liu Sanniang's palm, which was holding her heart.
"My choice is that we all live, and you die."
Liu Sanniang squeezed the empress's heart, crushing it. The empress let out a heart-wrenching scream. "No—"
Liu Sanniang was in an illusion. If the empress wanted to kill Liu Sanniang, she would naturally have to be in the illusion too. If she died in the illusion, she would be gone.
She didn't want to die.
Why was Liu Sanniang awake? Before she built this illusion, she had clearly eliminated all the possible threats.
Liu Sanniang was supposed to be immersed in this beautiful illusion. How could she be awake?
