The Oath of a Lifetime
After ten years by my side, my husband brought home a beauty and announced he would make her empress.
He said, “You have no son, but I need a crown prince.”
“What man under heaven doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?”
“When did you become so jealous, so incapable of tolerating others? You’ve changed. You’ve become hideous.”
That very night, I took my Young General with me and charged out through the city gates without looking back.
After I left, he said with red-rimmed eyes, “Ning Huan, come back.”
Of course I would come back.
Clad in the imperial yellow robes, I led three hundred thousand troops back to the capital, my loyal Young General standing at my side.
“Men, drag the Deposed Emperor and that beauty out and behead them. Hang their heads from the city walls. Let them go to hell and reflect on their disloyalty and lack of filial piety.”
