Chapter 344 - The Wicked Concubine (1/2)
”She gave a piece of crazy advice --- It is better to kill you and burn the evidence!” Qi Hao answered in anger. The Han Emperor didn't plan to kill Xiao Fang, but that vixen was!
Xiao Fang was taken aback. ”Burning the evidence should be enough, right?! Why did she tell the Emperor to kill me out of nowhere? After all, there is no grudge between me and that wicked concubine!” Xiao Fang was seriously pondering over this matter.
She couldn't believe what she had just heard, but she knew that Qi Hao wouldn't lie to her about such an important matter. Kill her?! Really?! She did nothing wrong and that concubine was even planning to take her life away! It wasn't enough for that concubine to ruin her mother, but she still had the gall to target her too!
Xiao Fang started to think that this woman must have been using her beauty trap to control the Han Emperor. She remembered something that Tao Gu Gu had said --- it seemed that this concubine used to be a courtesan in a low brothel. How could a woman like that be any good?!
Yao Ling was also surprised and she had the same thought as Xiao Fang... that treacherous couple was truly unbelievable! She looked at Xiao Fang sympathetically from the corner of her eyes and when she saw Xiao Fang's pale face, she held Xiao Fang's hand to give her a little bit of comfort.
”To change the tide and so that you will become the new rumor,” Yao Ying said bitterly while he pitied Xiao Fang for her misfortune. However, he didn't dare to show his pity openly because he knew that it would hurt Xiao Fang's ego.
”Huh?” Xiao Fang still didn't understand what exactly they were talking about. What was the connection between the new rumor with her? A rumor about the death of the prime minister's daughter?! What was so interesting about that? She was just a woman who lived in the boudoir and rarely went out --- she wasn't even sure that the commoners would recognize her.
After all, whenever she went out of this manor's gate, she always wore her veil.
Yao Ying, Lin Jian, and Qi Hao didn't know how to answer Xiao Fang's question and they looked at each other. The answer was quite ugly. Finally, Lin Jian gave the others a signal that he would be the one who told Xiao Fang.
”They want to kill you and cut your head off to be displayed in the capital's gate. They will give you the nickname 'evildoer' --- the one who is behind those slanderous rumors!” Lin Jian answered softly. ”They also want to use you as an example, so no one will bring up this subject again...” He trailed off at the last part.
Yao Ling and Xiao Fang's face turned pale because of this. How cruel! Not only the plan, but also the method! Display Xiao Fang's head in the capital's gate?! For such a woman to think of that method, it showed how evil that woman was.
Thet wicked concubine should be the one who was called as an 'evildoer'!
Xiao Fang could only gape at them and feel really bitter inwardly. 'How... how could they do that to her?! They are so vicious,' Xiao Fang thought to herself while trying to hold back her cry. She tried to be brave but the onlookers knew that she felt the despair inside her heart.
However, the youngsters didn't know how to comfort her...
Feng Yong Rui sighed when he saw their expressions --- no matter how clever those kids were, they were still too young and inexperienced when dealing with this matter. He decided to be in charge of the next step.
