Speaking of which, the reason this pot of water is so hot is because soone around Consort Hua played tricks. Even Murong Xue didn’t expect the tea to be so scalding. So, is this not karma?
The originally delicate makeup, because of this pot of tea, caused her once delicate face to swell up instantly—how horrifying it looks, it could not look more terrifying!
The hairpins, head ornants, all scattered on the ground, her hair left draped here and there, even dripping with tea. On her head and face, leftover tea leaves remain—how embarrassed she looks, it could not look more miserable.
At this ti, it was the dead of winter, and the woman who fainted from the scalding tea lay lifeless on the ground. If she waited a little longer, would she be frozen? So she took out the silver needle and stabbed the person awake: "Now is not the ti for you to faint, I haven’t finished speaking yet!"
After being scalded, Consort Hua’s cheeks ached, coupled with the poison just applied, the pain was unbearable, as if it could make her vomit her heart out. She always felt sothing churning in her stomach, and when she retched, it was all blood.
She roared in anger: "You will receive retribution, you will die a horrible death, hahaha!"
Zi Su appeared at so point, lifted her foot, and kicked the person out with one swift motion.
"How dare you, curse the Sixth Princess, you’re courting death!"
Zi Su’s kick sent the person flying towards a plum tree, then fell heavily, face-down in the mud.
Even so, the people secretly protecting Consort Hua did not appear, which truly opened Murong Xue’s eyes.
"Could it be that those people have all withdrawn?"
She asked Zi Su with her eyes, but Zi Su confidently signaled back with a look that left Murong Xue sowhat incredulous.
There were people lurking around, yet they just watched Consort Hua suffer. What were they thinking? Or perhaps they didn’t want to expose themselves because they were present?
If they won’t co out, then she won’t be polite!
Consort Hua, embarrassedly sprawled on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and laughed mockingly.
"Hit , why don’t you hit more? Go on, you dare today, just kill , or else see how I’ll deal with you in the future."
Murong Xue smiled faintly: "You want to die?"
Consort Hua was startled by her gaze: "No one but the Emperor has the right to treat this way, Murong Xue, you dare!"
"Oh dear, thanks to your reminder, look at my mory, I actually forgot to show you the imperial decree. Zi Su, quickly, show it to her and let her give up soon."
When Zi Su unfolded the imperial decree written by the Emperor and placed it in front of Consort Hua, she only glanced at it, then suddenly widened her eyes, staring intently at every word. Individually, she understood them, but why did they beco so unfamiliar and cold when put together?
She shook her head: "No, no, impossible, impossible, the Emperor wouldn’t be so heartless, wouldn’t be so heartless."
"Won’t he? You think Father Emperor would still believe your lies? Don’t fool yourself! Co, see what this is?"
At Murong Xue’s signal, Zi Su threw a stack of evidence onto Consort Hua’s face.
"Take a good look at your handiwork. Now, the whole of Lanyue Country is abuzz with nothing more than the various heinous cris committed by your Bai Family. Buying and selling official positions, exam fraud, harming upright officials, forcefully taking civilian girls... The Bai Family, quite sothing, no wonder you’ve developed so fast over the years, turns out you’ve been stepping on others’ skulls to reach your position today?"
After speaking, she ignored her and leisurely sat aside to sip fragrant tea.
After hearing Murong Xue’s words, Consort Hua suddenly felt darkness before her eyes. When she picked up the white paper on the ground with trembling hands and turned the pages, she couldn’t continue after just two pages. She wanted to deny, but the evidence listed there was so familiar. Now these proofs laid right in front of her, and didn’t she just hear it? The whole Lanyue was spreading it?
"You, what did you do?"
"What? You did it and you’re afraid others will find out? Of course, we helped to publicize for you, printed into booklets, found tea houses, storytellers, to spread the word for you!"
"You... you are so ruthless!" Consort Hua pointed at Murong Xue in hatred: "You will face retribution!"
"Tsk tsk, don’t you have a mory? Even if there’s retribution, it should befall you first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Hua vomited blood again, at which point Murong Xue wasn’t pleased, glaring at her and sarcastically comnting...
