Chapter 171: Harming Herself As Proof
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Her face has already been ruined, and you claim you did nothing? Do you really think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you? You should know how I’ve always treated you, and yet you betray me time and time again!” Han Moze had reached his limit.
“Once again, I did not! Believe me or not, that’s up to you!” exclaimed Liu Rushuang through gritted teeth, as she glared right at Han Moze.
Han Moze grunted coldly. “You tell Ruhua that.”
Then, he walked over to the chair and took a seat. Why did he choose to believe this woman who did not love him?
*Slap!* Liu Rushuang slapped Ruhua hard on the face, then coldly cried, “You found someone to hit you, didn’t you?”
Ruhua was stunned from the slap. Did the Empress really have no regard for the Emperor?!
Ruhua immediately kneeled and cried at Han Moze. “Your Majesty, you must grant me justice! Every word I said was true. Her Majesty really taught me a lesson yesterday because I revealed her secret.” Then, she showed Han Moze her arm which was covered in bruises. “Your Majesty, this was all the Empress’ doing! How could she betray Your Majesty? As if it wasn’t enough that she was remorseless, she even violently attacked the victim.”
Han Moze shot vicious glares at Liu Rushuang.
Liu Rushuang turned around and gritted her teeth in anger. “Why are you staring at me for? I really didn’t do it!”
Han Moze took a deep breath and suppressed the burning rage. “What proof do you have that you didn’t do it?”
Liu Rushuang raised Ruhua’s arm up and carefully took a look. Then, she got a handkerchief and wiped it. She discovered that there was just a very small cut beneath it, which couldn’t possibly create so many blood marks.
“Your Majesty, now you can clearly see that right? Ruhua’s wounds were originally self-inflicted. May I ask, how can one bleed so much with such a small cut?”
Ruhua was instantly left stunned. She used a knife to cut herself and the blood was from a palace maid.
How could Her Majesty tell?
“H-how… did you…” Ruhua looked up at Liu Rushuang in astonishment.
Liu Rushuang pulled out her own dagger and cut her arm. Then, she brought it forward for Ruhua to see. “What do you think is the difference between a bleeding wound and deliberately smudged blood?”
Han Moze got up and walked over to see the cut on Liu Rushuang’s arm. Then, he took a deep breath and said, “I’ll leave Ruhua to you,” and walked off.
Even if Ruhua’s cut was real, he didn’t have the heart to teach that woman a lesson.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t lie! You must believe me!” sobbed Ruhua to Han Moze with a tearful voice.
Han Moze took big strides out of the palace.
Ruhua saw Liu Rushuang drew closer and terror flooded her face.
She felt Liu Rushuang’s murderous aura.
So, she immediately turned around and tried to run.
Liu Rushuang instantly shifted half a step in front of Ruhua and softly moved her lips. “Do you want to die just once?”
Ruhua didn’t want to die at all. She took another small step back, as her beautiful complexion turned terrifyingly pale. “I didn’t do anything wrong. You can’t kill me!” she argued.
Liu Rushuang bolted after Ruhua at lightning speeds, then tightly clutched Ruhua’s long, shiny, black hair which cascaded to her bottom like a waterfall.
Ruhua felt an intense pain in her scalp that resulted in her not daring to argue back at Liu Rushuang, but cry pleading. “Your Majesty, please spare my life! I won’t ever dare to do that again! I’ll absolutely listen to you from here on out!”
Liu Rushuang grinned coldly, then violently swung Ruhua to the floor like a whip.
