All of a sudden, the wicked concubine could feel that she was being suffocated, it was like she was being strangled by someone, but how could that be? No one was in front of her --- to be exact, no one was around her, the person who was closest to her was the Empress who looked at her with wide eyes. The latter seemed to be surprised with the sudden change in her as well.

The wicked concubine choked and quickly touched her neck with both of her hands, gasping for air. The people started to realize that the wicked concubine was being choked by an unknown thing. They could see that the wicked concubine"s face almost turned to blue color.

The wicked concubine reached out one of her hands towards the Empress and said, "Help... Help me..." Her voice was so soft and the Empress almost couldn"t hear it. Too bad, even if she had heard, she didn"t intend to help her own enemy.

The Empress pretended to take a step back and asked in fear, "What... What happened to you?" Her reaction was normal for people who were afraid of the unknown ah~! She knew that no one would blame her for this, even the Han Emperor. Who would dare to get closer to such a weird phenomenon? What if she was being dragged and choked as well? That would be so stupid!

The people were frozen in shock. Weren"t those two fake ghosts? If they were fake, how could this happen?! They started to tremble in fear once again. Their previous calm minds changed into turmoil. They looked around and couldn"t see something was amiss from the atmosphere. Then, why did the concubine suddenly act like that?

Because of this, the people who thought that this was merely a farce were shocked to the core. Was there really a ghost in this world?! They felt that their belief in spiritual things was being tested.

In actuality, even Xiao Fang was feeling surprised by the sudden turn of event. How... How could she become like that? She did nothing ah~! She didn"t have any martial arts skills or inner qi, so doing that was out of the question --- she wasn"t capable enough.

Feng Yong Rui squinted his eyes --- people couldn"t use their inner qi to strangle people just like that... so who actually did this? However, just like everyone else, he couldn"t find anything so he could only keep his silence.

The Han Emperor looked at his favorite concubine"s state and he quickly turned his gaze to his Ce Fei. It must have been her! "What are you doing?! Why do you hurt her? Stop it this instant!" The Han Emperor asked in anger. It seemed like something had triggered him and his eyes seemed not to be as alive as before.

The onlookers looked at the Han Emperor in disbelief. Was he actually crazy? How could he dare to talk to a ghost with that kind of tone ah~?! Even if he was an Emperor, how did he plan to beat the ghost? They seemed to realize that something was wrong with the Han Emperor, but didn"t know what --- they were too far from where the royal family was sitting down to see clearly ah~!

Xiao Fang tilted her head to the side and smirked. Even though she didn"t really understand what happened because this was out of her plan, she still continued to act. She had gotten the painting of the wicked concubine and she knew that the one who was being strangled was that woman --- thus, she didn"t feel any compa.s.sion at all. It would be best if she died as well. It would save them some troubles.

Xiao Fang, the "Ce Fei", said, "Didn"t you just say that you love me so much? But look at you! You go berserk when something happens to that woman. Your love for me is only fake! You and that despicable woman are the ones who turn me into a vengeful ghost!" Her crispy sound was the only thing could be heard in the banquet location --- oh! And also the wicked concubine"s choking voice.

Xiao Fang pointed at him while moving her other hand and showing a menacing gesture --- she pretended to strangle the wicked concubine with only one hand. She didn"t forget to smile at the Han Emperor while looking at him with her bloodshot eyes.

The Han Emperor"s whole body was trembling in fear. When looking at his beloved Ce Fei"s eyes, he started to realize that he was dealing with a ghost. What... What had he done? The Han Emperor had never once thought that he was in the wrong. Serving the husband was the wife"s duty, right?

After all, they got the same amount of pleasure at that time! That was how the wicked concubine was convincing him over and over again back then and in the end, the wicked concubine indeed had brainwashed him.

"What are you talking about Xiao Lan? I really... really love you!" The Han Emperor felt like he should convince the ghost so that the latter wouldn"t attack him and choke him the same way as his favorite concubine. In the end, his love for himself and his selfishness won.

"A love from you? I feel disgusted by it and I don"t think I"m worth it! Your love made me feel tortured. Your love made you rape me without boundaries. After all, don"t you remember? She"s the one who was staying beside you when you gave me the drugs..." Xiao Fang started to become emotional as well, feeling like she was the one who was being tortured by this man.

After all, she could still remember Han Xiang"s expression when the latter had told her the truth back then! The disgust, the anguish, the hatred, everything... She remembered that this man didn"t only torture her mother, but also her deceased best friend which was supposed to be his daughter! Such a cruel man!

"I would never forget that face even in my death, her face keeps haunting me! If I don"t take her along with me, I can"t have a peaceful death!" Xiao Fang insisted while she continued pretending to choke the woman. She squinted her eyes, knowing that the wicked concubine would die in a short time. Xiao Fang had never partic.i.p.ated in killing people and she felt slightly uncomfortable, even though she knew that the woman actually deserved being treated like this.

The audience gasped in surprise. They finally knew which concubine who dared to use such a disgusting and lowly method. However, when they took a closer look, they shook her head. How could the Ce Fei lose to such a woman?!

"No wonder ah~! Isn"t that concubine..." One person started the discussion, but she didn"t dare to say the obvious thing. After all, her personality was quite timid.

"Ha... yes! She was taken from a brothel by the Han Emperor!" Another woman quickly pointed it out. She felt braver because in this condition, who would pay attention to her ah~?! They were too busy looking at the ghost and the Han Emperor.

"Yes, Yes... No wonder she can become the Han Emperor"s favorite for so long. She"s the one who is poisoning the Han Emperor"s mind all this time!"

"Ssst... Stop talking! What if the ghost hears you?! A vengeful ghost won"t care who she will hurt ah~!"

After listening to the advice, they quickly shut their mouth --- they didn"t want to provoke the ghost ah~! What if their fate became like the previous old official who almost fainted to death?

Thus, they could only continue looking at the scene in front of them.
