With tears welling up, Wanbi closed her eyes and waited for her death to come.
Helian Chacha’s hand was trembling as an unprecedented fear swept over her like an overwhelming tide.
Her palms were already covered with cold sweat and she knew that Ye Shengxuan had always wanted to see this. However, she could not do that to Wanbi…
The moment when she was not sure what to do, Wanbi suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed that sword to stab directly at her own belly. Helian Chacha was shocked and she tried to take it back subconsciously. Yet she was too late…
Poof…
Along with the dull sound of a blunt object penetrating the body, crimson blood burst out like a spring and splashed on the ground. Wanbi’s body suddenly went stiff, and she then fell on the floor after a few stumbles. Her eyes were widely open as she didn’t die in peace.
Helian Chacha’s face turned pale and ashen; the sword in her hand was dropped to the ground.
She killed Wanbi…she was the murderer…
A guard then came and took Wanbi’s body away. After watching him drag Wanbi’s body out, Helian Chacha turned around and kneeled down in front of Ye Shengxuan. Her voice was a little bit weak, “You Majesty, I just killed the spy on my own as you ordered. Please believe me that I definitely have nothing to do with her.”
Looking at that pale and petite face, Ye Shengxuan stood up slowly and walked towards the hall, “Of course I believe you! It’s already quite late, come to the dinner with me.”
Helian Chacha said yes and followed him immediately.
Looking at the pool of blood on the floor, she prayed secretly, “Wanbi, Wanbi… It is not my fault that you are dead now… it is Ye Shengxuan who forced me to do that. But you don’t need to worry, ‘cause I will soon take the revenge for you…”
The dinner had already been served in the hall.
24 different dishes in total.
Helian Chacha put the poison in the soup, and the female officer in charge of testing poisons in the food didn’t find it out. So her tightened nerve finally loosened down.
She got it right. Generally, it was always this kind of strong poison with no color or flavor that could kill some big figure like the emperor. It was barely possible to test anything with only a simple silver needle.
Eunuch Fu passed Ye Shengxuan the chopsticks made especially for him, and he took them. Then a eunuch served him a small bowl of soup which Helian Chacha had put the poison into. He picked up the spoon in the bowl and scooped a mouthful of soup…
Helian Chacha was super excited as she was waiting for him to take a sip…
Ye Shengxuan put down the spoon all of a sudden and said calmly, “You all can leave now.”
Looking at the soup on the table, Helian Chacha was very disappointed and she was about to leave with the others.
There came his deep voice, “Lin Dagou, you stay here.”
Helian Chacha stumbled and stopped. She turned around silently and walked towards Ye Shengxuan. Then she bowed and asked with respect, “Your Majesty, what else can I do for you?”
Ye Shengxuan said slowly, “Serve the meal for me.”
Helian Chacha was stunned. All of the dishes here had been already tested, so if she served him, she would be the first suspect when he got anything wrong as there were only two of them in this room.
While Helian Chacha was thinking about this life-and-death problem, Ye Shengxuan became a bit upset, “What are you waiting for?”
Bring it on! She had already put the poison, so it would be too late to get more! She would die if he drank it, or she would die tomorrow if he didn’t. It was just a matter of time, so maybe she should just take the gamble!
