” Hehe, after I finish with this task, I will be rewarded by concubine Shen,” Xiao Mi chuckled under her breath as she skipped past the guards that were guarding the gates and walked inside the cold palace through the dog hole that was at the wall of the back of the palace. ” I just need to bury this thing here and then the Empress will be finished–” just as she took out a bowl to dig into the ground of the palace, she felt a burst of cold wind sweep past her, stunned she dropped the bowl and stuttered, ” Wh...Who is here? I am telling you...I am concubine Shen’s personal maid, don’t even think about coming at me.”

A cold voice snickered as a dark shadow swept through her. ” Concubine Shen ...Concubine Shen she says..! Ahahaha what fun! This little maid thinks that she can scare us off with the name of a mortal Concubine, Hehehehe!” The shrill voice echoed through the dark courtyard causing Xiao Mi’s heart to turn cold. She was already spooked when the shadow walked through her, and when it went through her, she felt like she has been dumped into a frozen lake, she has been staying in the palace for a long time, and she has heard all the rumours about the cold palace being haunted because of the number of concubines and Empresses took their life here, at first she thought that they were just rumours but now that she was experiencing it, Xiao Mi felt like she was going to lose her life.

She immediately threw the abortion medicine carelessly on the ground and tried to flee but she was blocked by another dark shadow and a snickering voice echoed in the courtyard. ” She is running, she is running...come and catch her or else our meal will be gone!”

Meal? She was going to be eaten?

Nervousness and fear flooded her system and she immediately turned around to leave but just as she was trying to run, she came face to face with a figure that was dressed in a long robe. ” Are you running after sinning?” The black figure said in a loud and domineering voice causing Xiao Mi’s face to turn purple and she shook her head, ” I didn’t...I didn’t commit a sin.”

” LIES!” The figure boomed loudly and raised his hand in the air as if he was clutching someone’s throat and Xiao Mi suddenly couldn’t breathe anymore. Her eyes popped as she looked at the figure and strutted, ” Please...Please let me go...I didn’t...I wasn’t the one who did it...”

.....

” But you lent your hand, didn’t you?” said the black robe figure. ” Because of you, an innocent soul will die... tonight ...I cannot look away from this terrible sin... you will have to come with me and become the meal of those two...”

He unclenched his hands and Xiao Mi dropped to the floor, bursting with fear she turned her head to look over at the dark figures that were approaching her and shuddered. No, she couldn’t be eaten! If she was to get eaten then what will happen to her brothers? But if she was, to tell the truth, she will be punished then as well.

Li Gang saw the calculations in her eyes and he immediately smirked, fooling and blackmailing people was something that he knew best. He immediately took a step forward and said, ” If you don’t tell the truth... and save that innocent soul from dying, then your entire family will die tonight...I will take them with myself!”

Xiao Mi shuddered as she turned to look at the black figure, its eyes were dark pits with a fire burning in them, she could almost imagine her family being roasted alive in that burning fire.

” I will...I will go and tell the truth to the Emperor right now! Just let me go!” Xiao Mi cried as she looked at the figure in front of her. ” Please ...I will do as you ask me to but let me go!”

” Uh-huh.” The figure shook his head. ” You have committed a sin, only when you correct it will you be freed.”

Xiao Mi gulped and unsteadily got up from her spot and walked towards the exit of the cold palace when something came zooming towards her, smacking her right across the face. She was almost going to yell out loud when she saw that it was the pouch of the abortion medicine that she was burying in the ground just now, stunned she looked over at the figure who said, ” Don’t try to act smart with me, take out all the evidence you have against the concubine and go the Emperor with me or I will send you to hell along with your family.”

This time Xiao Mi didn’t act up anymore, she obediently walked to her room and took out all the letters and their responses that she has hidden under the cabinet and pulled out every single thing that she could find against Concubine Shen and brought it to the Emperor, what was even scarier...no one seemed to have seen her as she did what she does right now, it was as if she was invisible.

A shudder went through her spine as she approached the Emperor’s palace and announced the reason for her arrival.
