Chapter 1693 - 615: The Reverse Female Lead (Part 4)_2

The original host snapped out of it and realized she had used her own "superpower" to harm someone.

Aside from the original host still being somewhat alert, the key point was that she herself had also suffered backlash.

The Crown Prince is the heir, if nothing unexpected happens he will inherit the throne and become the next Emperor.

He carries a trace of "Dragon Luck" granted by the Heavenly Dao. To wound such a True Dragon Emperor—if it were any other crooked, demonic path—the attacker would definitely be gravely injured.

Because of the author’s setup, the original host possessed heaven-defying good fortune; anyone she hated would meet misfortune.

When her Lucky Fish cheat clashed head-on with the Dragon Luck of the True Prince Charming, the True Dragon Emperor was indeed injured, and she in turn coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

Her whole body noticeably weakened a lot.

The original host had a premonition that her lifespan seemed to have been snatched away by quite a bit.

Others might not see any concrete change in her, but as the person involved, the original host had no proof yet still had that feeling.

Her "Divine Power" could indeed make people she disliked suffer punishment.

But if the other party’s status was too high, or there was some special reason, she herself would end up "perishing together" with the other side.

This kind of "superpower" really wasn’t something that could be used lightly.

Kill one thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own.

The original host also suddenly realized that Prince Liang might not actually like her; he only wanted to use her "Divine Power" to harm people and thus achieve his goals.

Prince Liang had no idea that his true colors had already been seen through by the original host. With the Crown Prince’s leg broken, he was only one step away from being deposed.

His ambition suddenly swelled, and this time he set his sights directly on that Dragon Throne.

"Your Highness, His Majesty treats you very well. Among all the Princes, you’re the one he dotes on most!"

Hearing Prince Liang’s implication, the original host’s heart almost leapt right out of her throat.

My god, Prince Liang actually wanted her to harm the Emperor.

That’s the current Son of Heaven, the reigning True Dragon Emperor.

A single Crown Prince, a future Emperor, had already cost the original host several years of her lifespan.

Now it was the Emperor himself, the most exalted existence, who in the hearts of the common people was like a deity. The original host didn’t dare harbor any wicked thoughts at all.

If by any chance... no, no, she didn’t want to die, she still wanted to live well!

The original host resisted inwardly, but didn’t dare refuse openly.

Because she feared Prince Liang would realize that she already knew his true face, she could only try to persuade him tactfully.

"Dotes on me most? If he loves me most, why didn’t he make me Crown Prince?"

Prince Liang was very dissatisfied and, as usual, grumbled in front of the original host.

"If you truly love someone, shouldn’t you give them the very best of everything?"

"Like me: I set my heart on my Princess Consort, so I bore all opposition and insisted on marrying you with full ceremony, making you the noble Princess Liang!"

"...No, no, no! What is a Princess Consort? I still want to make you the most exalted woman under heaven!"

The most exalted woman—that would be the Empress.

And if the original host wanted to become Empress, then Prince Liang had to ascend that throne.

Be Empress?

Become the most exalted woman of the Daqian Dynasty?!

The original host was indeed tempted for a brief moment!

But very quickly, she snapped out of it—

To gain such honor required paying a price.

Prince Liang wouldn’t have to bear much, but she, He Tiantian, would be risking the loss of many years of lifespan, even putting her very life on the line.

The original host was unwilling!

Yet she didn’t dare say it outright, and could only play dumb: "Your Highness, my life now is already very good, it’s a kind of Immortal’s life I didn’t even dare dream of in the past!"

So, as for Empress or whatever, better just forget it.

Rejected, Prince Liang at first was still willing to tolerate it. He kept up the act of a deeply devoted, good husband, constantly voicing his discontent with the Emperor in front of the original host.

He wanted to repeat the same trick, have the original host deal with the Emperor with another ’accident’ just like she had ’dealt with’ the Crown Prince!

But now that the original host was on guard, she simply refused to fall for it.

As time went on, Prince Liang realized he’d been exposed.

Prince Liang simply decided to smash the pot to pieces and laid everything bare to the original host:

"If you make Father Emperor gravely injured, or directly die on the spot, I’ll let you continue being the noble Princess Liang, and even the future Empress!"

The original host kept silent, wordlessly refusing.

Prince Liang flew into a rage out of humiliation and simply began to torment her.

However, Prince Liang still feared the original host’s "Divine Power" and didn’t want to make too big a fuss. He didn’t physically torture her, but used a soft knife to slice her bit by bit.

For example, he stopped giving the original host food.

The original host really couldn’t endure the torment of hunger, but even more, she didn’t want to die.

And so, Prince Liang and the original host fell into a stalemate.

Before He Tiantian crossed over, the original host had already held out for seven days.
