156 Clear Distinction Between Love and Hate
The matter should have ended here, but Fang Yu saw the future. She saw that after she died, the crown prince married Zhao Panpan. Zhao Panpan had failed to keep her pregnancy several times and even gave birth to a strange-looking child. Even so, the crown prince still doted on her and called her ‘Xixi’ every day. It was said that ‘Xixi’ was Zhao Panpan’s nickname.
Fang Yu also saw the empress pulling the crown prince’s hand and saying, “Son, if I had known this would happen, I would have let you marry Fang Yu. The Fang family has a deep bond with children. If you had a son or a daughter with her first, I would be at ease. I know that you don’t like Fang Yu to be between you and Panpan, but your and Panpan’s fate for children is too weak. You haven’t had a child after so many years. Sigh, it’s all my fault. If I had known, I wouldn’t have killed Fang Yu first.”
Fang Yu, who was lying in the coffin, was shocked. Her body was stiff as she lay in the coffin. She was like a fool, no longer struggling or asking for help. Her eyes were dull, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
“Your Majesty! You’ve made me suffer so much!” After a long time, a blood-curdling scream was heard. Fang Yu cried, “Your Majesty, do you still have a conscience? You’ve harmed me! You actually poisoned me! You’re so cruel!” Fang Yu coughed, and blood gushed out. Her voice was also highly hoarse, which made people’s hearts ache. “Mother, father, it’s your daughter who has let you down. It’s your daughter’s fault that I found out the truth too late and let you two see your child die before you.”
Slowly, the breathing in the coffin became weaker and weaker, and Fang Yu’s body gradually calmed down. The rain outside became heavier, dripping on the grave. The lonely grave stood quietly in the rain, and no one knew what terrible things had happened underground.
In Jing City…
“Hurry, hurry, it’ll be too late.” In the heavy rain, Jiang Xi asked Zhao Ruifeng to take her on a horse and said in a hurry, “Have you inquired clearly? Fang Yu was buried in the east of the city, right? Hurry up and send people over. When they arrive, dig up the grave. Don’t delay.”
“Xixi, are you telling the truth? Fang Yu didn’t die? She’s still alive?” Zhao Ruifeng’s voice was a bit serious. If she was still alive, then it meant that she was buried alive.
Jiang Xi nodded affirmatively. Seeing this, Zhao Ruifeng did not ask her how she knew but directly rode with her to the city’s east.
“Three days ago, the Fang family brought Fang Yu to the imperial preceptor’s residence to seek medical treatment. However, when they arrived, Fang Yu was already beyond cure and only had a little bit of life left. No medicine could cure her. Before Fang Yu died, she wanted to see the empress again, so the Fang family brought her into the palace.” Zhao Ruifeng held Jiang Xi in his arms and protected her from the rain. “When she was sent to the empress, Fang Yu was already dying. The empress sent the imperial physician to treat her and quickly sent Fang Yu back to the Fang family before the crown prince came. The imperial physician followed and only returned to the empress’ palace to report after he confirmed that Fang Yu was dead.” After saying this, Zhao Ruifeng’s tone sank. “If Fang Yu didn’t die, I’m afraid that you will be hated by the empress in the future. The empress wants Fang Yu dead and has been urging her family to bury her.”
Zhao Ruifeng thought of the scene when he saw Jiang Xi. This silly girl had knocked on the Fang family’s door and asked them where they had buried Fang Yu. After asking, she was in a hurry to look for the place. If she had not met him, she would have run out of the city on her own.
Jiang Xi pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, “So what if she bears a grudge? Would I have to watch a person buried alive just because I’m afraid of the empress? I don’t care what’s behind this, but I must save Fang Yu!”
Jiang Xi was very dissatisfied with the empress. She always felt that the empress’ appearance was too vicious. Although Jiang Xi was mentally ill and often had weird thoughts, she could still tell what could be done and what could not be done. Otherwise, with her own ability, she could turn the world into a chaotic world and cause people to lose their homes. The world might be unfair, but Jiang Xi had a scale in her heart. She wanted fairness. The heavens were blind to letting the bad guys hold high positions, but Jiang Xi was not blind. She could not just watch the good guys get killed. She was not afraid of offending anyone, and she always did things based on her heart. Some people stood in a supreme position and thought that no one would dare to punish them for their mistakes. They were really overthinking it!
