Chapter 688 - The day I died (III) (2/2)
She walked up to her and circled around her, looking down at her, ” Do you think anyone would believe your words? What proof do you have, huh? Zhao Ming, don't forget that I still have Empress Dowager.”
” No matter how useless that woman is but her position is not. If you tried to say that I was the one who pushed you into the water, who will believe you? Ji Cheng? What can he do?”
” Nothing! Without proof, even he can't do anything to me. The ministers are not going to believe your words. Moreover, I have Wen Xu. That stupid woman will do anything to save me. Also, if Ji Cheng did anything to me without any proof, my father will not leave you guys and will do everything to destroy this Empire.” Xiao Li said while staring at Zhao Ming.
” She loves gifts and money, you know. That bitch knows that without me, she is nothing. You will never allow her to waste money and live her life in luxury using the revenue budget like before. Your stubbornness has made her more dependent on me.” She laughed thinking that even Empress Dowager does not have the same glory as before.
Zhao Ming frowned seeing Xiao Li laughing like a maniac. She was circling around her while saying those keen words.
She was having sudden creeps. She looks scarier than her usual self. It was her first time seeing this kind of side of Xiao Li.
She tightened her grip on the hairpin and stepped back unconsciously.
” You...you think that you're great that no one can harm you? Just because you're sleeping with Ji Cheng, you think you have become an Empress? Zhao Ming, I have tried to kill you once, it won't be difficult to kill you twice. If I want, I can sell you off in the brothel and you will be eaten alive. You will become just a dirty cheap...Ah…” Xiao Li gritted her teeth and held Zhao Ming by her neck, trying to strangle her.
~Pak~
She was tightening her grip around her neck when someone came from behind and pulled her apart from Zhao Ming, and slapped her on the face.
Zhao Ming's face turned red and her legs went weak as everything happened so suddenly. She was shocked when Xiao Li was slapped across the face.
Her eyes were widened as she couldn't believe that this person slapped her. Lu Shi who walked into the chamber was horrified seeing Zhao Ming's state. She immediately held onto her arms, to support her.
Zhao Ming's hair was slightly disheveled and her face had gone pale. There were the fingerprints and scratch marks on her pearl white neck making her look more miserable.
On the other hand, Xiao Li's eyes widened when she was slapped across the face. She was not expecting things to turn out like this.
How come things became like this? How can this person slap her?
