Chapter 687 - The Day I Died (II)
Zhao Ming pursed her lips seeing Xiao Li\'s hideous side. She never saw her talking to her in this manner, without using the formalities and sarcastically. She was so good at hiding her real intentions that she can fool anyone with her sweet tongue.
" What...what are you talking about?" Zhao Ming stepped back hearing her words. Her chest started tightening up and the feeling of nausea started to worsen.
Xiao Li smirked and said, " How was the porridge? Tasty, isn\'t it? Well, too bad that you ate it all. You\'re a doctor and yet you couldn\'t figure out something suspicious in it. You\'re too gullible my Majesty." She mocked as she stared at her confused yet terrified state.
" Porridge? What was suspicious about it? Wasn\'t it made by Xue Lang? Why would she…?" Her eyes widened when she realized that the porridge smelled strange. Today she poured rose water too much to make it smell nice but there was something bitter in it.
Even the rose water couldn\'t remove that bitter taste and smell of the porridge. She thought that it was because she had made it poorly, how can she be suspicious of Xue Lang who has always been nice to her and supported her?
But hearing Xiao Li\'s words, her mind became hazy and things started to become clear to her.
" You... threatened her to do that, right? It was you right? What did you ask her to mix in it? Poison?"
" So you\'re not that dumb after all. If I have given you that porridge, would you have eaten that? You would have thrown it away just like your father took the blame for making the medicine. It was you who brewed that medicine for Empress Dowager but...that stupid man had to come in between and sacrificed his life for a bitch like you." Xiao Li shook her head in annoyance thinking about that incident.
She had planned everything perfectly. She wanted to put all the blame for killing Wen Xu on Zhao Ming, that\'s why she spiked the medicine but her father came in between and said that it was him who brewed that medicine and his daughter is still inexperienced, in the end when it was revealed that the medicine is poisoned, he was sent to the dungeon by Wen Xu and eventually died a miserable death. She always wondered if he saw her doing anything or was suspicious of the medicine in some way.
Not only that, she did her best to fan the rumors about the bodyguard and Zhao Ming and wanted to send Zhao Ming to the cold palace but her plan failed again. This time, Ji Cheng killed that bodyguard for uprising the revolt. Her plans were getting ruined one by one.
Zhao Ming stared at Xiao Li in shock as her complexion turned white as a sheet. She never thought that it was Xiao Li behind her father being accused as the murderer. She was having a hunch that it has something related to her but listening from her mouth, it gave her creeps.
How can someone hate the other person that much?
" You….why do you hate me so much? What have I done to you? You have Empress Dowager and His Majesty with you, why can\'t you just let me live in peace? I treated you like a little sister, I wanted to get along with you but...why are you doing this to me?" Zhao Ming sobbed when she couldn\'t understand why she had to go through all this hatred.
Even after entering into the palace, she just wanted to live her life peacefully and nothing else. Was it so hard to expect a peaceful life in the palace? She knew that it\'s not going to be an easy road but she hardened her heart to go through all the troubles.
But she never thought that it\'s going to be this hard. She doesn\'t want anything grand in her life, she just wished for a simple happy life. Was it too hard? Did she ask for too much?
Xiao Li knitted her brows as she stared at Zhao Ming, who was sobbing in front of her while clutching onto her chest tightly.
" Zhao Ming, this is your problem. You don\'t even know what you have with you. You think that I have everything and you didn\'t do anything wrong to me, right? You have taken the most precious thing from me." Xiao Li mocked as she couldn\'t take her hypocritical behavior anymore.
" Me? What?" Zhao Ming was confused about what she could have taken from her.
" Ji Cheng! You have taken his heart. Other than you, he is reluctant to sleep with anyone else. Even before getting married, he has told me that he loves his wife, and will not able to treat me as a wife."
" However, I thought that I might be able to change this thought of him. But...he never came. He never treated me as a wife. I have Empress Dowager who treats me well because of my father and the gifts he sends from time to time. Otherwise, that woman would have cornered me just like you. She is not loyal to anyone." She gritted her teeth while looking at her with pure hatred.
" You have everything but I hate it when you act weak, like a victim. I hate it when you act strong even after being insulted by us multiple times. Why is your self-esteem so strong? Huh?".
Zhao Ming was at loss for words after hearing her words. Ji Cheng loves her? Shee always thought that he disliked her. They never talked or had a relationship like a husband and a wife, then...what went wrong? How can he love her?
She couldn\'t understand if what she was saying was true or not.
" You always being nice to me. Why? I entered the palace as the head Consort and Empress Dowager treated me dearly. But why did you treat me nicely as well even after being insulted by Wen Xu multiple times? Why? I was creating troubles for you all along and you believed in my sweet words like a fool. Zhao Ming, it was not my fault but yours. It\'s your fault for being too nice."
" It\'s your fault to think that you can live happily in this cruel palace. It\'s your fault for getting married to Ji Cheng and still not realizing that he loves you. Well, too bad, now when you know these things, you still won\'t be able to see your happiness after this day." Xiao Li sighed and shrugged her shoulders.
Zhao Ming\'s face turned pale after hearing her words. The drug was working her work and her insides were churning making her queasy and that chest tightening feeling was making her breathless.
