Chapter 689 - The day I died. (IV) (2/2)

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she stared at Xiao Li in shock. She doesn't know if she should cry or laugh at this situation. Seeing them fighting was somewhat satisfying.

'Seems like she has chosen death after this.' she shook her head while Lu shi held onto her.

” You're criticizing me for trying to kill her? Aren't you the same? You drugged Ji Cheng on their first night just because of your stupid superstition and in the end, when someone else said that the child with Zhao Ming will only bring the dark energy and bad luck, you gave her to have the medicine so that she won't able to conceive.”

” Not only that, you're the one who was torturing her all this while. Who told you to listen to everything I say? You're the one who helped me in fanning the rumors, believing that Zhao Ming was really making Ji Cheng's cuckold. And you're also the one to send her father to the dungeon.”

Xiao Li glowered at her and shouted, ” You're now blaming me for being too much? It was you who supported me every time. So don't think that you're not a part of all this mess. You're the worst Wen Xu. Ji Cheng is your son but you couldn't even see his happiness. You're the one who deserves to die.”

Wen Xu stared at her with dumbfounded expressions. Xiao Li...what happened to her? She never thought that she was holding so much inside all this time.

” You...die...you deserve to die. You all should die.” She lunged onto Wen Xu this time, trying to strangle her.

Zhao Ming frowned and felt something tugging on her heart. Even though she doesn't like Wen Xu, she does resemble her mother. How can she let someone else kill her like this? That too in front of her.

” Xiao Li, are you crazy? Stay away. Leave her.” She came in between trying to separate Xiao Li from Wen Xu.

In their struggle, they didn't notice the figure who was watching over the situation while standing at the door.

Suddenly a few women walked in, whose faces were covered with a cloth and held onto Xiao Li's hand and pulled her back, to separate her from Wen Xu.

Zhao Ming noticed them and stepped back as she watched the women who held onto Xiao Li and forced her to kneel on the ground with force.

She was shocked as she has never seen such women in the harem before. They were strong and easily pushed Xiao Li to the ground, controlling her violent crazy actions.

She raised her head and her expressions lit up seeing Ji Cheng walking over to them.

He walked to her and looked at her worriedly, before turning to Xiao Li, ” Xiao Li, you have truly let go of your facade huh? You not only dared to do your dirty schemes towards the royal family but also tried to kill the Empress of the Ji Dynasty as well? Not only that, you even tried to strangle Empress Dowager too? Do you know the intensity of your crimes?” He said with his hands folding at the back.

His indifferent and calm tone sent shivers to Xiao Li's spine. She is over this time. She finally came to her senses when those female guards slapped the senses into her mind.

” Your Majesty….I did not. They are lying. I wasn't...it wasn't me. You have to believe me. They are both working together to ruin me. It wasn't me. Really.” She sobbed while trying to hold onto his helm of robe but the guards tightly pushed on her shoulder, resulting in her face to be pressed against the ground.

Zhao Ming who was looking at Xiao Li's pitiful crying state was shocked by how she can change her personality, it surprised her.

However, the energy she was holding onto all this while started to weaken. Her legs started trembling, her eyes turned hazy and blurry. Her eyes closed and her body slid down and she fell unconscious.

” Your Majesty” Lu shi cried out when Zhao Ming suddenly fell unconscious. She held onto her but her petite body could not manage Zhao Ming's body weight.

” Zhao Ming,” Ji Cheng looked over worriedly and carried her in his arms in a princess style. He looked at her worriedly and started walking out.

He stopped in his steps and turned around, he glanced at Feng Ju who was standing there and said, ” Lock her in a prison cell for now. We will deal with her later. Also, you don't need to treat her as a Consort any more, she is just a murderer and nothing else.” He said before walking out of the room with Zhao Ming in his arms.
