Chapter 5 Confronting the Rival
My undisguised disdain made Qi Wanwan's eyes redden instantly.
She seemed to know it in her heart.
A merchant's daughter, no matter how much Zhao Yan liked her, could never marry her as his principal consort, let alone make her empress one day.
I suspected that to raise her status in Zhao Yan's heart, she needed to make him realize her importance, make him feel he couldn't live without her.
Playing hard to get could keep Zhao Yan's interest in her.
Regaining what was lost could make Zhao Yan cherish her even more.
I guessed that thus, she devised the cliff-jumping fake death scheme.
I thought she became that pure and flawless white moonlight in Zhao Yan's heart.
And I was framed by her as the murderer.
During those ten years shut in You Ting, I asked her why it was me.
At that time, she smiled gracefully, but I thought I saw jealousy in her eyes.
"Zhao Tangyue, because you are really too annoying. From the first time I saw you, your superior attitude made me feel sick."
I thought she seemed jealous of me.
Maybe jealous that I was born a princess, inherently noble.
So she stepped on me to feel the pleasure of becoming superior.
...
I bit my teeth, faintly tasting blood in my mouth.
I raised an eyebrow, displaying true superiority to the fullest.
"Do you really think Imperial Brother looks up to a lowly woman like you? It's just that after eating delicacies, he occasionally tastes plain porridge. I advise you to know your place, or this princess can move a finger and make your whole family unable to stay in the capital."
Qi Wanwan's face paled.
The look she gave me became even more jealous and resentful.
As expected, she would soon start her cliff-jumping fake death plan.
Come on.
I was waiting for her.
In my previous life.
Out of consideration that she was Zhao Yan's beloved.
Although I didn't think much of her, I never thought of killing her.
It wasn't until I was locked in You Ting that I perished with her.
In this life, I wouldn't be soft-hearted.
I would turn her fake death into a real one.
