Bazhuo was stunned by the slap.

"How dare you hit me!"

"So, all your feelings for me before were fake?!"

It was true that I liked you before, and it's true that I hate you now! It's also true that I wish you were dead!

"You've turned love into hate!" Ba Zhuo said fiercely.

"That's not the case. I, Lan Zhuo, am not so pathetic as to be that weak!"

"It was only after I saw how terrible your character was that I realized how foolish I had been!"

"A traitor like you, no matter who you are, I wish I could kill you right now!"

"So, do you understand now?"

"To make things clearer for you, I'll tell you about one of our upcoming plans!"

Lan Zhuo said calmly.

"We'll kill you and then frame you!"

Ba Zhuo was taken aback.

"Who are you trying to frame?"

Lan Zhuo deliberately gave a meaningful look.

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Ba Zhuo realized what was happening.

"You're trying to frame Hazi!"

"No, she is the woman I love, I absolutely cannot frame her!"

"Lan Zhuo, I'd rather you kill me right now and then throw my body away!"

"Yes, that's what we're going to do—kill you and then dump your body!"

"Where do you want to throw me? In Hazi's room?"

Lan Zhuo did not answer the question.

But her eyes terrified Bazhuo!

"Hazi, you're going to throw my body into Hazi's room?!"

"You can think about this problem when you're a ghost."

He Zhuo immediately slit Ba Zhuo's throat with a knife.

Bazhuo died on the spot.

Seeing all this, Ye Qianqian already understood what He Zhuo was going to do next.

really.

He Zhuo quickly brought Ba Zhuo's body to Hazi's room.

Then they threw Bazhuo's body in front of Hazi.

Hazi was taken aback.

"Bazhuo!"

"you--"

Hazi instantly understood.

"He Zhuo, you—"

"Hazi, you're very clever, no, it should be your mother who's very clever, knowing how to use you to gain my mother's sympathy."

“My mother adopted you, which should have been a blessing for you, but you turned it down and tried to kill my mother and father. I urge the whole clan to stop this.”

"But you still miscalculated!"

Hazi frowned.

When did you discover it?

"You don't need to know that!"

"So you dumped Bazhuo's body here to warn me? Or do you want me to die with Bazhuo?!"

He Zhuo said deliberately.

"Aren't you two in love? Then wouldn't it be just what you wanted for you to die together?"

Hazi immediately said.

"No, I don't like him at all!"

"I used him as a pawn from beginning to end!"

Lan Zhuo frowned.

"Are you trying to protect yourself by hastily severing ties with him?"

Hazi nodded.

"Yes! So what if it is!"

"At worst, you can kill me too!"

"I am still the eldest princess of the Great Tu Kingdom. If I die in the Great Yuan Kingdom, I want to see how you explain it!"

"If the Great Tu Kingdom and the Great Yuan Kingdom become friends, won't the people outside gossip about it?"

"They don't know the truth!"

He Zhuo sneered.

"Regarding matters concerning the royal family, what the common people say ultimately depends on what the first person to speak of it says."

Hazi understood.

"You're trying to fabricate the facts?!"

"So what if it's forged? Who dares to say the royal family is lying?" He Zhuo sneered.

"What exactly do you want?"

“It’s simple! We’re going to make you, Hazi, the scapegoat.”

Hazi was taken aback.

"No! You could have simply exposed my treason, why go through all this trouble?!"

He Zhuo said it casually.

"We want you to suffer a fate worse than death! It would be more satisfying for us than to have the Emperor execute you directly!"

Hazi looked at Lanzhuo.

"You, you're not—"

"Don't I like Bazhuo? Why would I be willing to do this kind of thing with Hezhuo? You just want to know the truth, right?" Lanzhuo said with a smile.

"Of course, it's because I won't let traitors have a good ending!"

Is that the only reason?

"Otherwise what?" Lan Zhuo retorted. "What do you think is the reason? You don't actually think that because I'm with He Zhuo, I'm willing to do anything for her, do you? This love-struck personality is a bit like Ba Zhuo's. You two are truly a pair of hidden dragons and phoenixes!"

"you--"

Hazih thought about it again.

sneer.

Even if you're trying to frame me!

"You have to have the ability to do it!"

"Everyone knows that I, Hazi, am currently recovering from my injuries and can no longer stand up. How can someone who can't stand up kill someone?"

He Zhuo laughed even louder.

"That's even less of a problem. Are you an idiot? Can't you order someone to kill someone?"

"Then I discovered this person! You tell me, doesn't everything else fall into place naturally?"

Hazi clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Hezhuo.

"You, you're really something. From the day your mother adopted me, you suspected I had ulterior motives. Nobody believed you, and I even tried to sow discord between you, but I never succeeded!"
