Chapter 4 Facing Wanwan
Father Emperor soon traced to Fourth Prince.
Like previous life, he was banished from capital.
I visited Zhao Yan at the prince mansion, told him how Imperial Consort Mother had used me and what she had done.
Zhao Yan held my hand heartbroken.
"Sister, you sacrificed so much."
"For Imperial Brother, any sacrifice is worth it."
My eyes teary, infinitely pitiful.
This move, learned from Qi Wanwan.
Indeed, Zhao Yan fell for it completely.
He hugged me, said he would never let me suffer again.
I smiled and nodded, until stepping out the door, smile vanished.
In previous life, Imperial Consort Mother didn't let me tell Zhao Yan these.
She said Imperial Brother was kind, if knew, would surely stop our plans.
So Zhao Yan never knew how much I paid for him to ascend the throne.
I thought between us siblings, blood connected.
But later when I used these to beg him release me from You Ting, he said disappointed.
"Tangyue, wrongdoing must be punished."
"Just confining you, not taking your life, already for past affection."
"You don't need to make these up to deceive me."
...
How despairing.
My good brother.
Torrential hatred rose from my heart, I quickened steps out of prince mansion, but suddenly saw a white-clothed woman alight from the carriage at the door.
At that instant, the taut string in my mind snapped.
Qi Wanwan!
The person I dreamed of killing at midnight appeared before me again, I couldn't help trembling, used all strength to restrain the urge to strangle her.
"Slut! My Imperial Brother isn't dead yet! You wear all white to mourn him!"
Found a random reason, I slapped her hard twice.
Qi Wanwan covered her swollen face, stunned by my hits.
Her eyes misty, pitiable.
"Princess misunderstood, this humble girl heard Third Highness poisoned, came specially to visit..."
"Visit? Imperial Brother was so good to you before, you ignored, now want to visit him, see if a merchant family's daughter has the qualification."
