บท 749: The Curse (24)

Xie Ming's fingers curled up in a fist as she listened to Zhao Ming's words. The truth that she was holding onto was a lie? She hated Ji Cheng all along for not believing her and killing Ah Heng who was innocent and like a brother to her, was a planted spy of Ji Zhelan?

She was heart-broken and in pain when he was slashed by a sword at the court, in front of everyone. The burden of being the reason for someone innocent's death was too much for her to handle. 

Moreover, the suspicious, dubious gaze of every one about her character was breaking her into pieces by every passing second. She was upset about the fact that she died without clearing her name, she didn't get the chance to prove to everyone that she had done nothing wrong and had followed the rules and virtue of the Empress. 

" So...you're saying that Bodyguard Ah Heng was appointed by the Prince Ji Zhelan whom I never even met?" She asked with a shaky voice.
