"Do not discard me like that, your Highness!" cried concubine Feng Mei, falling onto the Emperor's leg. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "I beg you, your Majesty, spare me! I swear I would never betray you again."
The Emperor recoiled with a grunt of disgust. "Don't touch me, you treacherous woman! I knew your words were poison,just like the plot of your vile empire. You sought to extend false friendship while plotting my demise!"
"I... I don't understand why I ever thought I could win your heart," he spat, his voice thick with anger. "You came here only to take my life!"
With a harsh shove, he sent Feng Mei crashing onto the cold stone floor. Blood bloomed beneath her knees as he roared,"Drag her to the dungeon! I never want to see her face again!"
Knights obeyed swiftly, ignoring the concubine's desperate screams. Her pleas of "Your Majesty, please!" faded into the echoing halls as they hauled her away.
