Chapter 433 - 280 Deceased
Almost simultaneously, Li Wanping fell from her horse.
The Assistant Military Advisor leaped off his horse, barely catching her before she hit the ground.
Xiao Song immediately sped up and galloped to the front, where he saw blood continuously pouring from Li Wanping’s mouth, already soaking a large area of her chest.
Xiao Song helped Ran Yan down from her horse, and she immediately went to feel Li Wanping’s pulse, which was weak and drifting under her fingers, sometimes there, sometimes gone.
"Assistant Minister Xiao," Li Wanping opened her starry eyes, a smile in her gaze.
Her face bore a five or six points resemblance to Ran Yan, which made Xiao Song’s heart clench, his voice softened a bit as well, "Hmm, what does the county princess wish to command?"
"I dare not command," Li Wanping retrieved a letter from her bosom, the off-white envelope already stained with a patch of blood. She raised her hand to hand it to Xiao Song, "Please trouble yourself to deliver this to the Emperor tomorrow, asking him to be sure to read it, this is my... final... words."
Xiao Song took the letter, not minding the bloodstains, and put it directly into his sleeve pocket, "Rest assured, county princess, I will enter the palace and see the Emperor first thing tomorrow morning."
"Thank you." Li Wanping smiled brightly.
Everyone felt that at this moment, the Wenxi county princess was so exceptionally beautiful. Her pair of eyes was like autumnal pools reflecting the flickering flames of the torches all around and the falling snow that filled the sky, gradually dimming.
"Wanshun, I... killed him for you..." Li Wanping’s voice grew weaker, her lips bearing a faint smile, the vivacity in her eyes turning to a deathly stillness.
