The Wolf King and I
Chapter 56

The royal physician told me that Zhang Wei's condition has finally stabilized.

Mabuti nalang daw at malakas ang tolerance ng katawan niya mula sa mga lason. I even learned from Qingyuan that this is not the first time that he have experienced being poisoned. His step-mother and the late Empress of Qin once poisoned him when he was a child. I can't imagine the pain that he must have suffered from that. And now, he have to suffer the same pain from me.

All of my memories have finally came back.

Naalala ko rin ang dahilan kung bakit ako napunta sa mundong ito.

I thought that I was too late to change the course of history. But now that all of my memories have returned, I will ensure that Zhang Wei does not continue to bleed blood, and I will assist him in becoming one of history's greatest monarchs. That is my promise with the real Empress Chin.

Mabuti nalang at napakiusapan ko pa si Yixing na ibigay ang antidote para sa lason na nasa dagger. But now, I can no longer turn a blind eye to what he has done.

He saved my life, but he took away the life that was supposed to be mine in the process. He even lied to my face about my true relationship with Zhang Wei, leading me to seek false vengeance.

Now, I will get all the answers that I want from him.

Napagpasyahan kong iwan muna ang wala paring malay na si Zhang Wei at naglakad patungo sa courtroom kung nasaan si Yixing.

Pero papasok palang sana ako nang bigla akong natigilan nang dahil sa nadatnan kong pag-uusap.

"What have you done?!" the angry voice of Yixing is what I heard first.

"I only did that because I know that once you lost her to the Emperor Zhang Wei, you'll be miserable again!" That is the Empress' Chuhua's voice. "Don't you think she won't pack her belongings and leave you once she regains her memory and discovers she's the long-lost Empress of Qin?"

Naramdaman ko nalang ang paninigas at ang panlalamig ng katawan ko nang dahil sa narinig kong sinabi niya.

So all this time...they both knew that I'm the lost Empress of Qin?

"You—-!"

"I simply want to make you happy!" Empress Chuhua shouted out in agony. "I made her kill her own husband just to protect your happiness! What is so wrong with that?!"

Hindi ko na nga kinaya pa.

Nanginginig ako sa galit na lumabas mula sa pinagtataguan ko at naglakad palapit sa kanilang dalawa.

Nakita ko pa ang sobrang gulat na namutawi sa mukha nilang pareho nang makita nila ako.

Si Yixing ang unang nagsalita.

"Fei—-"

Pero hindi ko na siya pinatapos pa.

Isang malakas na sampal sa kanang pisngi ang inidapo ko sa mukha ng Empress Chuhua. Sa sobrang lakas ng pagsampal ko sa kanya ay napahandusay pa siya sa sahig bago siya nanginginig na nagtaas ng mukha.

"Fei..." Yixing's soft voice is all I heard.

Galit akong lumingon sa kanya.

"Chin." Matigas kong sagot. "Chin ang pangalan ko."

Hindi naman siya makapagsalita at nakita ko nalang ang pagbaha ng sakit sa mga mata niya.

Samantalang nanginginig parin ako sa galit na napalingon sa takot na mukha ng Empress.
