Volume 1: The Imprisoned Volume Chapter 20: Portrait of the Empress (Part 2)

  Feng Lian's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt like everything in front of her was spinning and turning black. She choked back a sob as she said: "Good sister, it's not that I don't want to save Jie Er, but you also know that in this lifetime, I've only given my body to one man. How can I possibly give my body to so many men? What would I do afterwards?"

  "Feng Yun danced with a hint of hopeful expectation and said: 'Good sister, just grit your teeth, close your eyes and cultivate your spirit. We'll take care of everything else for you. We'll help you loosen your clothes and all you need to do is follow our instructions on how to pose.'"

  Feng Lan shook her head: "I can't..."

  Feng Qian's dance slowly tried to lift up Feng Yun's dance, which was on the verge of despair and heartbreak. However, Feng Yun's body seemed to have all its bones sucked out, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't get up. She sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, muttering in a dreamy voice: "Big sister, I know your heart is bleeding, our hearts are also bleeding. I remember when Bailing humiliated me for the first time, I was in so much pain that I wished I were dead. He's not human, he's an animal. He stripped me naked in front of my husband's corpse and made me kneel on the bed, inserting himself into my body from behind. At that moment, my heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. In front of me lay my husband's bloody corpse, and behind me, my enemy was enjoying my body. You know how I felt at that time? I just wanted to close my eyes and end my miserable life. But I couldn't do it, I couldn't bear to part with Jier, I couldn't bear to part with my only child. I want him to live, I want him to grow up, as long as he can live, no matter what I have to do, I'm willing to do it. Bailing humiliated me, beat me, even tortured me, but I could endure it all, because in my heart, there was only one thought: I want to protect Jier and let him grow up until the day he avenges us..."

  Phoenix dances with a piece of wood.

  Phoenix Dance's eyes welled up with hot tears, also being pulled by the corner of Phoenix Dance's clothes, and cried sorrowfully: "Third sister said it right, we are now in a time of humiliation. To preserve our Phoenix family's bloodline, I can give up my chastity, give up my dignity. That night, Third Sister took me to White Command's bedroom, I knew White Command was going to defile me. I endured all the difficulties, I watched with my own eyes as Third Sister tearfully undressed me, exposing her naked body in front of White Command, and according to his request, we hugged each other naked, until we both were filled with spring feelings, weakly accepting his lust. I even watched him smile triumphantly, slowly entering my body, roughly galloping inside me, then spreading evil deep within me. I felt nothing, my mind was a complete blank, I hoped he would finish soon, and also hoped he would never finish, as long as he was still on top of me, humiliating me, he wouldn't have time to harm Ji Er..."

  Feng Lan silently shed tears.

  Feng Qian softly said: "Big sister, now is the time for you to make a contribution to the family."

  Feng Lan's mind went blank, with only an instinctive and subconscious refusal: "I can't..."

  "Fengyun said: 'Big sister, just think of this as a nightmare. Once you wake up, everything will return to normal.'"

  Feng Lian's dance suddenly regained a bit of sanity, her face turned bright red again, she wanted to speak but stopped herself, and finally stuttered: "This is impossible, you both know that my body, once without clothes, will emit a layer of seductive light that tempts men, combined with my bodily fragrance, it's easy to stimulate men's desires... If not for the fact that your previous king had a major physical defect, unable to exercise his masculine instincts, I wouldn't still be intact now... But if, if... if he were to ravish me on the spot, how could I endure? How could my chaste body be given to him? And I'm currently at the most fertile time, if I were really ravished by him, it's very likely that I would become pregnant with this devil's child. Now that all the palace maids and eunuchs are under his control, even if I wanted to abort the fetus, it would be impossible. How can I accept this reality? I'll go crazy..."

  Feng Yun danced with tears streaming down her face: "Big sister, if your sacred red can save Jie Er's life, I am willing to personally lay that white silk under your body."

  Phoenix Lian danced vaguely, but finally shook her head resolutely: "I would rather die than accept a fate tainted by the devil..."

  Feng Yundong saw that her sister's expression had finally relaxed, and the desire to sacrifice everything for the sake of her child was even more intense. As long as her own child could continue to survive, she could completely disregard other people's feelings. The maternal instinct had completely covered up her moral sense. She pursued closely and said: "Sister, my third sister and I are all experienced people. We will think of a way to make sure that White Commandment does not have the power to humiliate you. Even if we really can't stop him from ruining you, please close your eyes, grit your teeth, grip the bed sheet tightly, and endure the piercing pain for just one moment. As long as you get through the first time, the following days will be much easier."

  "Feng Qing danced with tears in her eyes and said: 'Big sister, don't worry, if you really have to accept your fate tonight, we will do our best to help alleviate your pain. Bai Ling's body has also suffered severe damage and is no longer that of a robust man, many times he has to rely on medicine just to maintain his dignity.'"

  Feng Lan's entire body was paralyzed in front of the dresser, warm and gentle sunlight spilled over her body, reflecting off the golden silk cheongsam, emitting a layer upon layer of holy light that made one dare not look directly at it. She instinctively shook her head, tears streaming down her face: "I know women all have to go through this, but I absolutely cannot accept that person is Bai Ling."

  "Feng Qing's painful words were: 'Elder sister, we currently have no power to resist. Even if you don't agree, as long as he is willing, even if he uses violence, he can still get your pure body. If that happens, you will suffer even more pain and hardship. We can only take things one step at a time, doing our best to cope with him. He is currently quite infatuated with our sister's bodies, almost every other night he wants us to serve him in bed. And second sister's desires are also very strong, often clinging to Bailing and refusing to let go. As long as you don't overly provoke him, he shouldn't have the energy to humiliate you.'"

  "But your sacrifices are too great..." Feng Lin Wu Mu groaned.

  "Feng Qing said with a sorrowful expression: 'We are all already tainted women, our chastity and dignity have long been lost. As long as we can protect Jie'er's life and your innocence, we will do our best to help you. Sister, please agree to this once, we will try our utmost to prevent Bai Ling from humiliating you.'"

  Feng Lin could only let out intermittent moans: "I have nothing to say, but I still can't accept...the portrait...Please give me a martini, maybe after drinking it I'll know nothing..."

  "Feng Qing danced anxiously and said: 'Can't drink... good sister, if you get drunk, it's hard to control your movements...' "

  "Alright, I'll try my best to imagine that I'm taking a bath in the hot spring... My innocence and dignity are in your hands... I'm so scared, I'm so scared..."

  A dark cloud floated by, and the bedroom suddenly became gloomy.

  Suddenly, Feng Lianwu regained her sanity. She gazed coldly at the window where Bailing was gloating over his impending triumph. Slowly, she raised her right hand, which was as white as jade, and removed a diamond ring from her nameless finger. Placing it on the dresser, she clasped her hands together in reverence and spoke in a calm, resolute tone: "I, Feng Lianwu, 26th Empress of the Irina Kingdom, swear upon the spirits of my ancestors that if I can preserve my chastity, whoever kills Bailing will be rewarded with my pure heart. I vow to be his woman, care for him, serve him, and never betray him in this life or the next. May the all-seeing eyes of Emperor Edriano of Irina witness everything that has transpired today!"

  Feng Yun and Feng Qian couldn't bear to turn their faces away, their eyes filled with bitter and painful tears. Two years ago, who among them could have imagined that they, who were once so high and mighty, would today be subjected to such a humiliating and miserable fate?

  Feng Lianwu closed her eyes, slowly twisted her slender waist, left the dressing table, stood in front of the mirror, and stood silently. Her straight and full figure seemed to be frozen. Feng Qianwu and Feng Yunwu looked at each other, seeing the endless pain in each other's hearts. However, they had to accept the painful reality. They could only tear off Feng Lianwu's clothes one by one with tears, revealing the elegant body of Queen Irina in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass mirror.

  Even sisters who see each other frequently would marvel at the Creator's generosity in bestowing gifts upon Feng Lian, for she had been given too many. How beautiful it was to behold her reflection in the mirror, with a face as lovely as a lotus flower emerging from clear water, completely unadorned yet breathtakingly beautiful; her eyes were like silk, seeming to hint at the tender feelings of spring with every eyelash; her cherry lips were slightly closed, with a delicate and thin layer of flesh that conveyed countless hopes and longings. Taking a few steps back, her naked body was fully reflected in the mirror, with skin as delicate and smooth as jade, every pore emitting an alluring fragrance that left one intoxicated and reluctant to leave; her plump and slender legs, every movement of which revealed boundless charm, leaving one's eyes unable to keep up; her full and upright buttocks displayed a woman's robust vitality, quietly awaiting the birth of the next generation; her full and firm ***, proudly gazing at the three women, stood upright without yielding, rising and falling with the owner's increasingly urgent breathing, the delicate skin seeming to be covered with a thin layer of pink, making everything around seem strange and fantastical.

  However, witnessing this exquisite and beautiful body, everyone's heart is bleeding, as if a curved knife with serrations has been pulled from their hearts, pulling out endless pain. This was once a high and mighty figure that no one dared to look up at, sealed in dust for many years, but today it is forced to be fully exposed, subject to the trial of worldly etiquette and moral judgment.

  "Ah, this is our beautiful Queen Irina, and now she's so... exposed..." Valentin's voice came from the doorway, filled with a sense of satisfaction and pleasure after conquest, but his lewd tone would forever plunge a once noble heart into the boundless darkness of hell...

  Dark clouds drifted over again, as if to cover up this ugly scene of insult in the human world...
