Chapter 930 - 932: Mo Ziqi’s Promise (4)
Helen Xue collapsed into the chair, her head buzzing. She had married Nangong Shi as his official wife, and if Nangong Shi were to ascend the throne, he would have to crown her Empress. Otherwise, he would face the disgrace of demoting his wife to concubine and would be unable to face her imperial father and mother.
But why had he agreed to make someone else the Empress? Surely one couldn’t have two empresses. That was impossible!?
Suddenly, she thought of another terrifying possibility: maybe it wasn’t impossible for a man to make someone else empress—if she... were dead!
At this thought, Helen Xue felt as if a bucket of ice had been dumped over her head, chilling her to the core. Nangong Shi actually wanted her dead, he actually contemplated killing her?
Although she hated Nangong Shi for causing the death of her unborn child, for favoring his concubine over her, for his coldhearted betrayal, she had never thought of killing him! After all, a night of marriage owed a hundred days’ grace; they had once shared loving days together, had once spent many sweet years together. But now, to marry another woman, he actually wanted to kill her, actually wanted to kill her...
Helen Xue sat dazedly in the chair, feeling as if her heart had shattered into fragments, her blood all drained...
"Heh, Nangong Shi, since you are heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless..."

At night, the villa in the suburbs of the capital was spookily quiet. During such critical times, no one was in the mood to do anything; as soon as it turned dark, everyone in the manor quietly went to sleep.
Thinking that her parents were asleep, Cai Wei secretly got up and leapt out of the window to the outside.
On the roof, Chai Feng lay silently on a thin blanket. Seeing Cai Wei suddenly jump out, he hastily got up and leaped from the roof.
