Han Feng 49      

When word of Rui Hua's death reached Liang Wei, he was consumed by grief and rage. He refused to believe that Rui Hua would harm the Empress of Han.

 

She was kind and intelligent—she would never do something like that. There was no reason for her to. She knew full well that such an action would spark a war, and Rui Hua wasn't the type to invite unnecessary conflict.

 

No—Han Feng had killed her because they were enemies.

 

He had played with him, toyed with his emotions, made him believe that Rui Hua would be returned safe and sound. He let him hold on to that fragile hope, let him believe in the possibility of a reunion.

 

And just when the moment of relief was near—when he was about to take back the love of his life—Han Feng killed her.

 

For that, he would pay.
