230 Lin Zhou: Han Xiangs Letters 1 (2/2)

Yao Ling relayed the news to the others and the room fell into a silence. At this point, General Hu knew that he couldn't cover up their identities anymore. He softly told his stories to the trio and they pretended to be surprised when they heard what General Hu said.

Yao Ling even went as far by gasping and asking, ”She's the princess? But... she committed suicide... what would happen to you, General Hu?”

General Hu knew that he was in a deep trouble, so he humbly asked for the trio's help. He begged their help to serve as witnesses just like what Yao Ling had predicted. Yao Ying tactfully answered that they needed to know all the details in order to help him because they didn't want to jump into a pit. Not only that, they weren't from Han Kingdom and there was a possibility the Han Emperor would think that their words were unaccountable.

General Hu understood their point of views and he couldn't force them. He could only hope that Xiao Fang was able to persuade them, because he saw that lately her relationship with the trio was quite good. When Xiao Fang was awake, four pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time and it made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

”Why... are all of you looking at me like that?” Xiao Fang asked.

Yao Ling patted her shoulder to calm her down and explained everything. Her eyes emitted the sadness that she felt and her mind kept wandering around, however, she tried to listen to Yao Ling's explanation. She bit her lower lips until it bleed, realizing that Han Xiang was indeed gone and she killed herself. Why didn't she realize it sooner? She should have known that Han Xiang must have felt the same depression just like the Ce Fei --- her mother.

If she had seen it sooner, would the result be different? If she worked fast enough just like Tao Gu Gu and gave her hope by let her getting her freedom back, would Han Xiang still smile at her just like how she used to be? Even if she wished for a lot of things, but there was no medicine for regret.

Han Xiang had already gone...

Yao Ling tried to comfort her by hugging her, but it seemed like Xiao Fang's soul went out of her body. She could only stare blankly at nothing. Yao Ling decided to drop the bomb and asked, ”Xiao Fang ah~ don't you want to take a look at Han Xiang's letter?”

Xiao Fang was startled and quickly asked Yao Ling back, ”What letter?”

”She left one for you,” Yao Ling answered briefly.

”Where is it?” Xiao Fang asked and her previous blank expression was gone, it was replaced by anxiousness.

Yao Ling gave her the letter and Xiao Fang opened the letter with trembling hands, feeling afraid of what she was going to read... She didn't chase away the others because she knew that sooner or later she had to tell them everything if she wanted to ask for their help.

Xiao Fang could only look at the letter in distress...
