Chapter 686 - The day I died (I) (1/2)

Xie Mei trembled upon hearing Zhao Ming's words and started wailing loudly.

” I didn't...it wasn't me. I just went there for the walk and that's when I saw you there. I didn't do anything.” She started sobbing while saying those words.

Zhao Ming knitted her brows and asked, ” Really? Then you must have seen who pushed me, right? Who was it? If you tell me, I can ignore the fact that you stole the hairpin.”

She was now sure that it wasn't Xie Mei who pushed her. She is a coward after all. She just likes to bark but she can't bite.

”It was...it…”

Zhao Ming's expressions darkened when she heard her words. She clenched her palms into a fist and stood up. She left the room in furiousness while holding onto the precious hairpin.

Xiao Li's chamber

”Your Majesty…” the maids who saw her entering the pavilion greeted in shock. They weren't expecting her surprise visit.

*Bang*

Xiao Li, who was sitting on the chair in the room, while eating fruits was surprised when her chamber's door was pushed open with a force.

She was startled and got up from the chair in fear. Her brows creased when she saw Zhao Ming entering the chamber with her gloomy expressions.

” Your Majesty, what are you doing here? And what is the meaning of your ac…”

~Pak~

Her words were interrupted when Zhao Ming slapped her across her right cheek out of nowhere.

All the maids standing there gasped in horror.

” Zhao Ming, You..!” Xiao Li's eyes widened in shock when she was slapped. Her hand was covering the cheek where Zhao Ming just slapped and was burning furiously. However, before she could even react, Zhao Ming slapped on her other cheek as well.

After giving her 5 slaps, Zhao Ming finally stopped. She panted and massaged her palms which were now red and numb.

She smirked seeing Xiao Li's swollen red cheeks in satisfaction, her hair was disheveled and tears were rolling down her cheeks. Maybe because she has worked out intensely in the past month, her slaps were quite intense.

Xiao Li could barely stand on her feet but her eyes burned in anger when she looked at Zhao Ming.

” You Bitch! How dare you slap me? Who do you think you are to slap me? I am gonna kill you.!” She shouted and lunged at Zhao Ming, but she held her wrist and twisted it causing her to shriek in pain.

Zhao Ming twisted her hand behind her back and leaned closer to her ear and whispered, ” You already tried to kill me once. You want to try again? Xiao Li, did you think that no one can find out that it was you who pushed me into the pond that day? Huh?”

By now, all the maids went out of the room to look for help from someone. Because, if this continues, Zhao Ming will kill Xiao Li today.
