Chapter 12 Failed Assassination
Zhao Yan fainted.
The wound on his body was still bleeding.
I bandaged it a little for him.
After bandaging, I looked at his handsome face—the man who had destroyed my entire family in my previous life.
He had treated me very badly.
Since my rebirth, I had been forcing myself to forget those things if I could not take revenge.
But now, he lay in front of me, almost vulnerable.
I could not help but reach out and take out the short knife from my waist.
This knife was also given to me by Zhao Yan.
He had told me to use it for self-defense.
But now, I was going to use it to kill him.
Everything from the previous life flashed before me one scene after another.
I saw—
My children, that pair of dragon and phoenix twins, were taken to Zhang Ruhua's palace as soon as they were born.
When he ordered the extermination of the entire Chu clan, I cried and went to him, saying I regretted it, I wanted nothing, begging him to spare my clansmen, but he did not agree.
...
The day I died was my children's birthday. I went to find them but was turned away at the door.
I watched their family of four playing in the imperial garden, finally went mad, and cursed Zhao Yan for originally being a cut-sleeve, having fallen in love with me when I was still a man.
So Zhao Yan said to me: "If there is a next life, I would rather not know your female identity that day."
Then I felt so lonely, living really had no meaning.
That night, I committed suicide.
My thoughts returned, and looking at the man in front of me again, I only felt astonishing hatred.
I raised my hand, about to stab the knife into his chest.
But before I could stab it in, my hand was grabbed.
At some point, Zhao Yan had already woken up.
He opened his eyes and calmly looked at me—
"Chu Bingzhi."
"What were you trying to do just now?"
