Malevolent Empress Ling 5 An Attempt Assassination

"I haven't even hit your tail yet and you are already crying? What more when I strike your head with my claws? Will you even be able to curse me by then, hmm, Ling Feiyan?"

Ling Yue's soft and malnourished hands covered her mouth while a dangerous chuckle was echoing between the small walls that were covering her. The air was then, filled with lovingly sweet humming, soft enough to be only heard by herself, before she completely left Ling Feiyan's backyard by blending with the darkness discreetly, using the pitch black surrounding as her camouflage.

The next place she was at was her temporary chamber, which was ordered by Hou s.h.i.+huang himself. Even though he hated the idea of allowing the woman to take a shelter in his palace, there are factors he had to consider such as his reputation and his power. Although, he knew that some higher n.o.bles and imperial officials have already seen his true wicked self, he still has to act like his son's life mattered most. In accordance with the law, this son will be his heir if it were to be born successfully.

Regardless of this fact, just because the emperor himself allowed him to stay, does not mean he wouldn't find any ways to get rid of her and his son, to give way to his new beloved woman, Ling Feiyan.

He has to get rid of her without alarming anyone and without any further delay!

But who was he underestimating this time? When the woman who was naive was no longer around and got replaced with the queen of her own empire in the modern times who went through h.e.l.l just to protect her territory and life?

The small chamber, unlike Ling Feiyan's unreserved and magnified chamber, was the complete opposite of it. There were only one tiny wooden bed, one wooden seat and nothing more. However, instead of being disappointed, this was much better than what Ling Yue had antic.i.p.ated. Worst, she would have to live with the animals in the farm behind the palace. She was still, after all, labeled as a criminal.

Ling Yue rubbed her stomach gently, the protruding b.u.mp was not big enough yet to be noticed but it was unquestionable that inside of it, there was a life, needed to be protected by her now.

"You need not to worry my child. Once I get everything back that was meant to be yours, you will be then graced with so much life that there is to offer than this. Please be patient with me. "

Ling Yue sat on the old bed that seemed to collapse any minute from now with just small movements. There were mites everywhere instead of a soft, cus.h.i.+oned mattress on the bed frame. This chamber was located far away from the main palace, which meant, it was an abandoned building.

Her faltered body rested as she felt weak after a day of mentally fighting these traitors while physically tortured by them. It was too much. Too much to the point that she might be dead if this continues.

Yet, just after minutes of sleeping, Ling Yue sensed that someone entered her room. Exactly just when her eyes had opened, there was a sword on its way to cut her in half! Her body automatically avoided it, thanks to her years of training with martial arts for self defense.

The a.s.sa.s.sin was startled for few seconds, never expected that she would be able to dodge herself seconds away. He thought this target was just a flower surrounded by easily to break vase. Never once in his life had he experienced a woman who could discerned his movement just within seconds!

Worst, he was now laying on his back, unconsciously placed on the ground by the same woman whom he was meant to kill. The startled momentum he had gave Ling Yue the time to knock him out by hitting his neck's back part, strong enough to send him to temporary sleep.

"Hou s.h.i.+huang, Hou s.h.i.+huang! How can you be so impatient to a woman like me?" she murmured to herself while looking at the lifeless man on the ground. Her hatred grew as each second pa.s.ses by.

To think, he was desperate to get her away from his life to ensure her sister's status! How amusing!

Her hand clenched, forming a fist. After this incident, there was no way she would let them live longer than in her original plan!

"Say you prayers now, my dear prey."
