Zhan placed Simon's head on his lap, it would be dangerous to sit under a tree in this weather so he didn't move anywhere.

Simon would be fine Zhan knew that, but right now Simon had a fever, guess the shock was too much for him to handle.

Zhan just closed his eyes and waited, as the goddess said as long as he dedicated everything to her she would be by her side.

So Zhan can only pray right now since his fate was really in the goddess's hand.

Suddenly the wind blew heavily and Zhan shivered, after some time a woman dressed in pure white clothes.

With Black hair and a beautiful smile stopped in front of the kids, this woman had a completely different face but Zhan recognized her in an instant.

"Goddess."

The woman smiled and picked up Simon in her arms, Simon was still sniffling, said, "mom..."

The woman then raised her hand forward, "Will you be my disciple, child?"

Without any hesitation, Zhan reached his hand forward and grabbed the woman's hand.

"Yes, master."

The woman smiled, "in this world, you shall know me as...Yanli."

Zhan smiled, "yes master."

Yanli gently grabbed his hand and held Simon firmly before walking, deep into the forest.

And the years passed

In the imperial palace~

"Your majesty!!!" The servants ran towards the empress who had just collapsed on the floor.

"The empress has been poisoned, summon the imperial doctor!!" Empress's maid yelled.

"The tea was given by Consort Yuhai," another consort said, and then turned to her maid, "go and summon the emperor."

The emperor also arrived in no time, "what's won't with our empress?"

The imperial doctor bowed his head, "from the symptoms it seems that the empress was poisoned, your majesty. The empress has also lost her child."

The emperor held the empress's hand tightly, in the meantime, the empress's knight came forward and reported, "the empress collapsed after drinking the tea given by the consort Yuhai, your majesty."

The emperor became furious," go and arrest the imperial consort."

The empress Diana Kyrith came from the Kyrith family which was the family of marquis's strongest family after the Duke's.

Whereas consort Yuhai came from a mere Baron's family with no backing of course the Consort didn't stand a chance against the wall empress.

Meanwhile, the consort sat on a chair and drank her tea while watching her son practice sword fighting.

Although her health was completely deteriorating and her mind was falling apart she tried her best not to show her weakness to her son.

The nightmares and the inability to distinguish between dream and reality made her edgier and edgier but her son was her only comfort.

"Mother am I don't good?" The little prince Yibo smiled and looked towards his Mother for praise.

The consort smiled, "of course my son is perfect in sword fighting."

While the two were enjoying the day their moment was interrupted when the imperial guards barged into their residence and without any warning arrested the Consort.

"Imperial consort you are under arrest for poisoning the empress"

The consort's eyes widened and she was quickly handcuffed and was dragged to the dungeon while the prince struggled to get a hold of his mother but he was shoved aside.

"Mom!!" Yibo tried to run after the empress but he was caught by his knight.

"Your highness you cannot go after the consort."

Yibo struggled to get out of his hold but it was of no use.

Despite the consort's poor health, she was imprisoned in a dungeon with no sunlight, and her already deteriorating health worsened she started seeing things that weren't there she started talking to herself.

She wasn't conscious anymore. She vomited blood and her insides started to rot due to the rotten food mixed with poison give to her.

Finally, when the day of the trial arrived she had completely lost her mind, torn and dirty clothes and messy hairs with a scratched face which she had done herself after staying in isolation for so long.

She was still scratching her already bloodied hands and she didn't look beautiful anymore she looked disgusting and dirty.

Yibo who saw his mother nearly fainted and his blood drained from his face

The emperor couldn't bear to look at her anymore, "imperial consort Yuhai you are here because of poisoning the empress and Killin her unborn child."

The consort smiled, and slowly started laughing hysterically, "yes I tried to kill her and I am so glad that her child is dead, you fucked up emperor I hope you die I well I wished to kill you as well a horrific death is what you and the entire royal family deserve."

Diana's father who was a member of the royal court spoke with anger," your majesty the consort not only poisoned the empress but also killed her unborn child, and instead of showing any remorse, she is threatening to kill the imperial family.

This is treason, your majesty."

Soon the entire court supported the minister, "yes your majesty, this is treason the consort should be punished."

"Silence." The emperor spoke and after a few minutes of silence he spoke, "for the crime of treason against the empire the imperial consort and her entire family shall be beheaded publically and their bodies should hang on the walls of the imperial palace as an example."

"Long live the emperor!!!"

Yibo couldn't take it anymore and collapsed on the ground this is not fair.

He wanted to yell and cry and beg for help but he couldn't do anything because no one would listen.

The day of execution came too soon and a whole crowd gathered at the place of execution some cursed the consort and her family while some threw stones at her.

While the Consort who had completely lost her mind didn't understand what was going.

Everyone wished hell for her, the empress and the emperor watched with cold eyes.

The little prince who couldn't stop his tears watched everything and everyone and heard everything, these people her cursing hell for his mother huh.

Yibo will make their life hell as well.

His mother was forced to bend down before a knight came forward and that was the empress's knight Azrael who in one swift move beheaded his mother, while the crowd cheered.

Yibo watched everything and with his mother, something inside him died as well. Something which made him human.

One by one his grandfather, grandmother and aunt, and uncle as well his little cousin as young as five were also beheaded.

And the crowd cheered and enjoyed.

Soon their bodies were hung on the walls of the imperial palace, for scavengers to feed on.

Author's note: wow that was tragic isn't it.

If you were in Yibo's place would you like to rule on the very people who enjoyed your family being treated like this and those who wished for hell for your family?
