"So you all saw it?"
Fang Cao was scared out of her wits and could only tremble her bloodless lips. She could not say a single word.
Fangzhi fell to her knees with a "putong" sound.
"Noble Consort, please spare my life. Noble Consort, please spare my life! The servants saw nothing! They saw nothing!"
Fangzhi's forehead was pressed against the icy blue stone slab, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
It seemed like only a second had passed, but it also seemed like a very, very long time had passed.
Noble Consort Gao's voice rang out once again.
"You didn't see it? Heh... Then why do you want me to spare my life!?"
Fangzhi's heart instantly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. It was so cold that it could be seen through. She could only cry as she kept kowtowing. At this time, Fang Cao by the side finally reacted and also started to kowtow, begging Noble Consort Gao to spare her life.
After a while, Noble Consort Gao finally spoke again.
"Bengong can be magnanimous - -"
Hearing this sentence, Fangzhi and Fang Cao were stunned for a moment and at the same time, they raised their heads in ecstasy.
Just as they were about to express their gratitude, they saw Noble Consort Gao pull the corner of her mouth and reveal a somewhat strange complacent smile.
"However, only one of the two of you can live. The one who survives must follow my lead and work for me in the future."
Then, with a bang, a dagger was thrown in front of them.
Looking at the cold light reflected on the sharp edge of the dagger, Fangzhi and Fang Cao both understood what Noble Consort Gao meant and their faces became as pale as paper.
"No, no! Noble Consort, please spare the servants! As long as you can let the servants live. The servants are willing to do anything! The servants and maids will definitely not tell anyone about what happened just now! This servant, this servant, how can I make a move on my good sisters?"
Fang Cao scrambled over and hugged Noble Consort Gao's legs tightly.
However, Noble Consort Gao kicked her to the side in disgust.
Then she sneered.
"Heh... You are merely lowly palace maids, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with this palace? Bengong is already magnanimous enough to let one of you off. Bengong's patience is limited, if you all are unwilling to take action... Then, all of you must die, understand?"
Fang Cao's face lost its anger.
She no longer looked at Noble Consort Gao and crawled to Fangzhi's side. She cried, "Fangzhi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's all my fault! If I didn't pull you to the Imperial Garden today, if I listened to your advice... Hurry up and leave this place, this wouldn't have happened... Wuwuwu... "
The more Fang Cao cried, the more heartbroken she became. Her delicate and pretty face was filled with tears.
"When we were sworn brothers, we already said that we don't wish for the same year, the same month, and the same day to be born. But to wish for the same year and the same month and the same day to die... Fangzhi, in this huge and cold Imperial Palace. I am very happy to have a good sister like you accompanying me. But now, we are all going to die... In the next life... We'll be good sisters again!"
However, Fangzhi only stared blankly at the dagger, as if she did not hear what Fang Cao was saying at all.
Just as Fang Cao opened her arms and wanted to hug her, Fangzhi suddenly moved...
...
"Ka!"
When Xin Wenhao spoke, Sheng Chuxi's hand had just touched the cold dagger on the ground.
She took a long time to recover from her emotions.
She turned her head and looked at Xin Wenhao, who was frowning behind the machine.
