All Chapters of The Tale of A Villainess (Completed): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Noon. Minister Kun was found dead in his room, with blood dripping down his neck. The male servant was in the same room at the same time," General Li says aloud.Sir Xu adds, "We arrived just in time to see the male servant admit to his murderous intentions, moments before he committed suicide. There is no doubt that he had slit the throat of Minister Kun. What I suspect is that Minister Kun had already died before the male servant took action."

I wave goodbye to Li Shi Zhen, who stands outside his Manor and General Li, who is in another horse carriage.As Xu Kai's horse carriage sets off, a sense of awkwardness engulfs the atmosphere.A waning gibbous moon hovers in the twilight firmament. It is a slightly windy night; the swaying of t

We are now on our mission to the Hua Hin Place Inn.I think back to asking Xiu Ying to have someone fake my identity in the Yuan Manor. Hopefully, all is alright..Ugh. Heavy jewelry. An abundance of clothing.

Rong Yi begins, "In the Imperial Ceremony, it was subtle but I notice that my father, the Emperor, has begun showing strange and mild symptoms lately: abdominal pain and vomiting.

It's me, Yuan Zi Yan again.Early afternoon right now.Today is suppose to be the day of Xu Kai's birthday. I have been preparing a gift for him this entire day.

Second Meeting: Next DayScholar Li starts off the conversation, "After further experiments and research, there is no doubt that the mushroom poison is similar to that of the poisonous needles. Amatoxin-containing mushrooms. I have compared both the needle and the mushroom's symptoms based on a small dosage on myself."
