His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 226 - 228

🔘Chapter 226: My Name Is In The List Too, Right?

People might ask why they fully believed in Han Xiang's words... there was also a reason behind it --- not only because Han Xiang was Xiao Fang's good friend.

It was also because of her handwritten blood letter.

There was a phrase that could describe this belief. 'Lies written in ink can never disguise facts written in blood' [1].

The tradition of writing in blood was especially present in Buddhism and the Han people were a full believer of this tradition.

That was also why Han Xiang resolutely left a blood letter, despite the need to bear the pain while writing in between her last breaths.

Han Xiang wanted to tell the world the ugly truth of that disgusting man and she needed an irrefutable proof for them to believe her side of the story.

Thus, she dared to take her life as a gamble. Besides, she couldn't live that long anyway.

Why didn't she use her life to save other people's lives?

Uncle Qiu said with a hurt expression, "I always know that the Emperor is a paranoid man, but I never know that he is going to try to eradicate so many people all at once. Does he really want to put his own puppets to become his ministers and become a sole ruler? That is one crazy idea because it will ruin our kingdom!"

Uncle Qiu knew if this continued, he would die out of anger.

This Han Emperor seemed to become more and more unreasonable.

He knew that a monarch always felt paranoid that someone would try to take his position, but this farce and this plan... he was quite speechless and felt at a loss.

The Han Kingdom wasn't in a stable condition for a long time already because of its poor weather and scarce resources.

They needed to curry favor to the Shu Kingdom to get important resources ah~!

The Shu Kingdom was so powerful that it could actually crush their kingdom easily if there was no Qin Kingdom to balance the three kingdoms.

The Shu Kingdom was strong enough to destroy one kingdom, but not two kingdoms at once.

If they were having an internal struggle around this time, wouldn't it become this kingdom's loophole? It could become a chance for the other kingdoms to wreak havoc.

Other kingdoms would be able to attack them because their defense became weak ah~!

How could he be so selfish?! He wanted an endless power and his greed would only ruin his own kingdom.

Didn't he care about the civilians?

Uncle Qiu believed they needed two parties who balanced each other in the court and they were needed to make suggestions and give pieces of advice whether it was good or bad for the Emperor.

He would be able to make a decision with a clear understanding of the pros and cons.

However, if it was only the Emperor's own decision, it would be dangerous for their kingdom because there was a chance that the Emperor would be blinded by power and use it unwisely.

The Han Emperor wanted to become a tyrant.

Was that his sudden decision? Or someone had influenced him?

Xiao Fang looked at Uncle Qiu and didn't know how to say the next bit of news.

Uncle Qiu saw her hesitation and decided to ask, "Why? Do you have something else to say to me?"
