Murong Yi trembled, his hands shaking, filled with guilt and hatred.
"I brought them into the palace, not realizing I was sending them straight to hell. No wonder, no wonder whenever I liked someone, after a few days, that woman would either fall ill or meet with a sudden accident. I wasn't without suspicion, but it was as if I were constantly being watched; no matter what I said or did, a countermeasure was already in place. Over time, I grew weary.
Only now do I truly realize that all of this stems from that woman Bai Mei'er. She's quite adept, quite capable, managing to thoroughly bribe even those by my side. Considering I've survived all these years, could it also be called a miracle? What sin have I committed? And thinking of those innocent palace attendants, their deaths make me feel like a disgraceful ruler, unworthy of a kingdom.
