Bab 1217: The test

Mo Qiang walked behind Eunuch Jiang while ignoring the many glares that were pointed at her back. The expression on her face was filled with dread and horror as she continued to walk past the corridor. 

"Why do you look like you have been sentenced to death?" Mo Xifeng asked when she saw Mo Qiang's expression. The more she looked at it, the more she found it amusing. 

"You are right—this is indeed a death sentence." Mo Qiang sighed as she stared at the back of the eunuch who was walking ahead of her. "With how the empress has leeched off every single bit of extra sum of money, do you think that this is any different than killing me?" 

That woman might as well kill her in one go rather than sharpening her knife on the back of her neck.
