Chapter 372 - The Ghosts (8) (1/2)

The Han Emperor laughed bitterly and said, ”Someone told me about that and I have investigated it and the proof was solid as well!” He didn't believe that he had gotten it wrong, because if it was true, then... he was really a beast! How could he do that to his real daughter?! He also had a bottom line.

'No! I am not wrong!' The Han Emperor denied it inside his mind.

Xiao Fang looked at him and asked, ”Tell me... Tell me who said that!” She looked at the Han Emperor with a sad face, looking like she was being wronged and it made the audience pity the ghost even more.

The Han Emperor didn't bother to cover up anything and he pointed at the wicked concubine. ”She did!” He answered honestly. ”However, we did a test... So, I'm sure that it must have been true!” The Han Emperor insisted, after all, he didn't think such a delicate woman would lie to him. Until now, he still chose to trust the wicked concubine because he couldn't afford to be wrong.

His face became paler because he was still feeling afraid and wasn't really confident in himself.

Xiao Fang scolded him while pointing at him with anger, ”Are you sure that no one had sabotaged the test at that time? Han Xiang was my daughter and I left it to you when I left... Do you know why? Because I couldn't bear to let my daughter living a hard life with me! You pushed me to my death and you also pushed Han Xiang to her death! Why should I let an unknown baby become a princess?! Don't you think that you are so stupid?!”

Xiao Fang tried to take a risk, hoping that the wicked concubine indeed did something to the test. She didn't want her origin as the Han Emperor's daughter to be known --- it was better if Han Xiang stayed as his daughter so that it wouldn't become more complicated than how it was at the moment.

The Han Emperor asked with a mocking tone and there was a hint of hatred in it, ”I'm sure! Tell me now! Did you switch the baby? Or Han Xiang was the result of your betrayal, huh?”

The Han Emperor had just declared his love, but in such a short moment, he accused the Ce Fei just like that --- even the audience couldn't bear to listen to his cruel words, especially the women. They looked at him in hatred, however, some of the men were nodding their heads. it seemed like they also agreed with the Han Emperor like it was justified to embarrass a woman who had betrayed the man. They were only a minority but it annoyed Xiao Fang and Yao Ling ah~!

Xiao Fang knew that the Han Emperor was shameless so she didn't feel surprised anymore. She glanced at Yao Ling, hoping that the ingredients that were being added to the Ce Fei's perfume sachet would work. However, Xiao Fang felt helpless because Yao Ling's attention was solely at the Emperor --- she was looking at him with murderous eyes.

”I don't really understand you... How could you believe the words of a concubine that came from a brothel than your own Ce Fei?! Switch the baby? Where could I get the power? I'm a Shu person, who would help me inside this foreign kingdom? I didn't even know that many people back then! Not only that, but I was addicted to the drugs that you gave me! You also confined me inside my courtyard, so tell me... how could I betray you?!” Xiao Fang yelled at the Han Emperor while pointing at the wicked concubine and try to rile her up, so maybe the wicked concubine could accidentally blurt out something.

The Han Emperor stunned when he heard Xiao Fang's words. He had never thought it that way before, after all, he was too angry back then! In his mind, she was a Ce Fei so she must have an influence inside the manor somewhere... He was too angry to think of those possibilities.
