Chapter 688 - The day I died (III) (1/2)

Zhao Ming struggled to keep her sanity, ” Xiao Li, what...what did you give it to me? Ah..I.. can't breathe. Don't...play such jokes. Give me some medicine.” Her body started to weaken as she tried to gain her balance.

Xiao Li smirked seeing her looking all weak and vulnerable, ” It's a slow poison My Majesty. It is one of a kind in this world. You won't be able to find it's the antidote. This poison will mix into your blood and no one will be able to find out that you have been poisoned. Because I don't want people to think good of you even after you die.”

” In everyone's memory, you will remain as a s.l.u.tty bitch who couldn't bear the guilt to cheat on his husband. Even though Ji Cheng killed that bodyguard, I won't let you get away with this. This time, I won't let my plan fail. You deserve to die, only then I can take over the position of Empress of the Ji Dynasty.” She walked behind her and whispered near her ears before pushing her into the pond.

Zhao Ming who was dry heaving was suddenly pushed into the pond. She knows swimming but because of the poison, her body became paralyzed in the water.

After pushing, Zhao Ming into the pond, Xiao Li smirked and looked around before leaving the area.

Xie Mei who was hiding in the corner saw the scene when Xiao Li pushed Zhao Ming into the water. She couldn't hear their conversation since they were quite far from her, but she was frightened to see this kind of side of gentle and innocent Xiao Li.

After she left, Xie Mei walked towards the pond and saw the hairpin which fell on the corner of the pond. She picked up the hairpin and looked at Zhao Ming, who was struggling to come up. She had the urge to pull her over, but when she remembered about Xiao Li, she ran away.

She was too scared to get into these things. She doesn't want to have any kind of connection to this incident.

Zhao Ming's body slowly started to sink, her struggle became almost none and she slowly closed her eyes.

'Dying at the age of 19, what kind of sins have I committed in my past life to see this kind of ending?' This was the last thought that she had when she closed her eyes and lost her final consciousness.

Back to the present, Zhao Ming stared at Xiao Li as she recalled those painful bitter memories of Zhao Ming. The breathlessness and the pain that she felt at those moments, started to haunt her again.

Xiao Li's eyes widened in shock when Zhao Ming said that she remembered everything. She looked at her in disbelief trying to read her thoughts.

” You...you are lying, right?”

”Do you think I am lying? Xiao Li, you don't feel even a bit of guilt, right? You tried to kill someone and even after that, you did whatever you could do just to humiliate me. Do you think you could hide those things forever?” Zhao Ming glowered at her in rage.

Xiao Li shivered when she heard her words. She was quiet for a few moments but after that, she raised her head and smirked. She was smiling, even her eyes were wide open as she laughed sending creeps to Zhao Ming.

” Hahaha. So what? Even if you remember everything, so what?” She carefully stood up and smoothened her dress. She combed her messy hair with her fingers and walked near to her.
