The Wolf King and I
Chapter 49

"Chin, you will have to get through some hurdles in the future, but never let yourself become a pawn for someone else. Everyone is not as good as they might appear. Do not trust everything that you see. You have to take care and you must remember, never trust the Emperor."

I have been thinking a lot about Empress Louyang's last words lately. Magsimula nang mawala siya ay palagi ko ng iniisip kung ano ba ang ibig sabihin niya sa mga salitang iyon.

But now, I think I've finally understood.

"C-chin..." This is the first time I saw that horrified expression on Zhang Wei's face.

I was planning to give him a vase of flowers to console him from the loss of our child. But now I've finally realized that I was the only one who was hurting.

Nanginginig akong nagtaas ng mukha at hindi makapaniwalang napatitig sa mukha niya.

"Y-you...killed our child..." Those were the only words that came out of my mouth.

Halos walang boses na gustong lumabas mula sa bibig ko nang dahil sa tindi ng pagkabigla at pagkalito na nararamdaman ko ngayon.

The amount of pain and anguish that washed all over his face after I spoke those words almost made me crumble.

"Your majesty..." I heard Qingyuan's voice that suddenly appeared beside me.

Hindi naman ako makapaniwalang napataas ng mukha at napatingin sa mukha niya.

He has the same expression on his face as the Emperor right now.

And that realization suddenly struck me.

So...Qingyuan knows it too?

Dahan-dahan akong napalingon sa tatlong tao na nasa loob ng opisinang iyon at hindi makapaniwalang napatingin sa kanila isa-isa.

Si Zhang Wei.

Si Qingyuan.

At ang matandang handmaid ni Daiyu.

Did they all work together to kill my child?

"W-wife...please let me explain..." I heard Zhang Wei's pleading voice.

Everything went blank.

My mind just completely shut off.

Atsaka ako wala sa sariling nagtaas ng mukha ulit at napatingin sa mukha ng lalaking iyon na akala ko ay mapagkakatiwalaan ko.

Hatred suddenly flared up in my chest. At sa totoo lang ay natatakot ako sa kung ano man ang pwede kong magawa sa mga oras na ito.

And like a demon whispering into my ears, those words just suddenly appeared in my mind.

You killed our child.

You killed your own flesh and blood.

You killed my baby!

All of my sanity was drained in an instant as I grabbed Qingyuan's sword from his sheath. Matapos iyon ay buong puot at galit kong sinugod si Zhang Wei na nanatiling naninigas mula sa trono niya.

"I will kill you!!!"

I have to kill him.

I have to avenge the death of my child.

I have to let out this great amount of pain and hatred from my chest or I might just completely lose my mind.

Ngunit bago pa man ako makalapit sa kanya ay naramdaman ko na ang mga kamay na iyon na pumigil sa akin para makalapit pa sa Emperor.
