His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

The crowds went silent once again, knowing that it seemed to be very dire. After all, the old man looked so scared that he almost peed on himself. Even if they left, it was already too late. they were too curious and already involved after witnessing the body. They might as well knew the truth and chose what they should do later.

Yao Ling gave a signal to General Hu with her eyes, telling him that it was time to read the blood letter loud and clear. They knew that this matter wouldn’t be able to bring down the Han Emperor, because it wasn’t easy to change a Monarch --- especially, because he indeed was good at ruling the kingdom. His problem was for having a messy inner courtyard, but after all, it was also the Emperor’s private matter and the commoners or officials couldn’t do much about it.

At least, with this matter, they wanted people the open their eyes and maybe... the officials would make a petition for the Han Emperor to pay attention to his moral characters. They didn’t believe that he would be able to block the mouths of the commoners ah~ Unless, the Han Emperor wanted to kill all of them.

General Hu cleared his throat and said, "I was also just like all of you --- before handling this mission, I have never once met a princess in a close proximity. At first, I misjudged the princess as someone that would be pampered and selfish. However, once I read this blood letter just now, I felt appalled. I never knew that the princess had gone through a lot in her life. I hope all of you will listen loud and clear, before I post this on the announcement boards and at the same time, I will make several copies and send it to the other two kingdoms."

"Why do you want to tell the other two kingdoms, General?" One of the onlookers asked in confusion. A commoner wouldn’t understand that this matter could become complicated. In their eyes, it was only a suicide. What the worst that could happen ah~?

Someone answered from the crowds, "Of course to avoid war ah~ Another kingdom princess is dead in our kingdom. What do you think the other kingdom would think?"

Someone gasped. "They will think that she’s killed by our kingdom ah~ It can become a reason for war!"

"True... true... if the other kingdom knows that it’s a suicide case, then it won’t implicate our kingdom..."

"Yes ah~ our kingdom doesn’t do anything towards the princess... we have to make this loud and clear..."

General Hu nodded and he said with a magnanimous expression, "Yes... This is also the reason that I want to read this blood letter. I don’t want to incite war."

Yao Ling almost... rolled her eyes because she never thought that the man was quite opportunist. But, this was also fine, what he said would naturally clean up the mess and they didn’t have to explain why they needed to spread the blood letter that involving the Han Emperor. After all, it was a taboo thing to do.

However, would General Hu be able to live peacefully back at Han Kingdom? Oh well... she would look at his merit, if he’s good enough, she would probably ask Yao Ying to snatch him and make him their subordinate.

They didn’t allow Xiao Fang to appear around this time, after all, her family was targeted by the Han Emperor. If she made a ruckus around this time, it would implicate her family. After reading her own letter, Han Xiang told her in detailed that the Han Emperor had started to make a move on Xiao Fang’s family for a long time. He wasn’t satisfied with the Left Prime Minister’s good reputation that had surpassed him, making him feel jealous.

The Han Emperor talked about it once in his drunken state while raping Han Xiang and it was embedded in Han Xiang’s memories. However, she couldn’t tell Xiao Fang about it because she kept being monitored when Xiao Fang went into the palace to meet her. She could only watch silently in despair.

Xiao Fang started to realize why lately her family started to nag her not to go inside the palace and meet Han Xiang anymore --- however, she stubbornly went against their wishes. Not only that, her father and brother were busy handling a lot of things until they became thinner and they were rarely at home. She asked them the reasons for a few times, but they only answered with a smile and told her not to worry about anything.

Was it because they already saw the Han Emperor’s ambition? She didn’t know whether she had to laugh or cry of how overprotective they were. She was indeed lucky for meeting them as her family, otherwise, she would live a life worse than death --- just like Han Xiang.

After going back to the Han Kingdom, she needed to know their plan and tell them that she had known the truth. Xiao Fang lost in thought while her gaze was looking at the commotion in front of Han Xiang’s room. She could only watch from afar while her best friend’s body was shown to the world. She bit her lower lips tightly until it bleed... ’I will get revenge for you, Han Xiang... Please rest in peace!’

Back to the crowd, they looked at General Hu in admiration. Despite risking his life, he wanted to tell the whole truth to them. If they knew the real reason, they would certainly vomit blood ah~

"Read it now!" They exclaimed.

"Yes... yes... we want to know!"

"What the Han Emperor did to the princess?"

"Yes... he must have been forcing the princess to get married!"

They only wanted the juicy gossips, but they didn’t know that what they heard would make them feel disgusted. They would spread the words to get justice for the pitiful princess... In contrary of Yao Ling’s expectation, they would even make Han Xiang become so popular that they would build her statue at the Han Kingdom.
