Everyday Occurence

Li Xueyue was not bewildered by Yu Zhen's request. Instead, a bizarre sense of satisfaction sank into her. 

She had been wanting to say something like this but believed she was in no position to override the Empress's authority. Those women would become a bigger problem eventually. It was better to get rid of the weeds before it became an infestation.

"You have lost your damn mind, my bloodthirsty son," the Empress snapped. "It was one small fish in the entire ocean. Must all of them suffer?"

"You don't want to do it?" Yu Zhen eerily asked, his voice as serene as the clear skies. His cold composure with underlying darkness terrified many people. No one could predict his next move.

"That's fine." Yu Zhen chuckled, the sound raising goosebumps.

"What are you planning?" the Empress harshly asked. To say his anger was terrifying was an understatement. To obtain his goal, everything in his wake would be destroyed.
