Eight-year-old Murong Ce was lashed by Liu Zhaoyi until he was covered in wounds, but he didn't shed a single tear, didn't speak a word, nor even let out a whimper.
Only in hell would a child be beaten by his own birth mother to the point of skin splitting and flesh bursting.
In the end, Liu Zhaoyi was too exhausted to continue and threw the whip onto the ground, her face pale with anger, she pointed at Murong Ce's nose and cursed, "You are a devil, a devil come to collect debts from me!"
After saying so, she stormed off in a rage.
Liu Zhaoyi became the laughingstock of everyone after being violated by the Emperor of Houliang in front of the crowd in the grand hall.
Even after being promoted to the rank of Consort, the mockery never ceased.
Gossip and slander about her spread everywhere, becoming the talk of the alleys and streets.
Obscenities too foul to hear.
She hated the Emperor of Houliang, and even more so, the Emperor's flesh and blood.
