Why is she bleeding so much?
No, this won't do! She has to go find Sophie Sun and get some answers!
With that thought, Wendy Zhu hurried off.
Kenneth Lawrence saw this and quickly followed, wanting to have a private word with her.
At the door of Cindy Zhu's room, only Chloe Zhu was left standing.
Chloe Zhu smirked sarcastically, then stepped inside.
Cindy Zhu was on the verge of death.
She was barely hanging on, just a single breath left.
Chloe Zhu walked up to her bedside and looked at her.
"You... Why is it you?" Cindy Zhu asked, her voice as faint as a whisper.
"I'm just as baffled! Why is it me here to see you off?" Chloe Zhu said.
"Get out! I want to see... my sister!"
"Your sister probably doesn't dare to see you," Chloe Zhu replied. "Looks like she gave you the wrong medicine! It was supposed to be just a miscarriage, but now it's taken your life too. She ran off in a panic just now! And your dear brother Kenneth Lawrence ran after her."
Cindy Zhu's chest heaved violently. She looked extremely agitated.
"But don't hate her. From what I can tell, she probably didn't know the medicine was tainted! If you want to blame someone, blame Colin Gu. He knew I could save you, but when you started bleeding, he wouldn't let me in. Instead, he sent people out to find a spirit healer, wasting a whole half an hour, letting all your blood drain away!" Chloe Zhu said.
"Get out, I don't want to hear this! Get out..." Cindy Zhu was shaking all over.
"Oh, and one more thing!" Chloe Zhu added. "Colin Gu joined forces with King Skyroc to start a rebellion and kill the emperor of the High Kingdom! Honestly, you didn't have to get rid of the child. He never planned to send the prince as a hostage to the High Kingdom!"
Cindy Zhu's face twisted at these words, and she suddenly reached out to grab her.
But she couldn't reach her.
She forced her eyes wide open, the veins on her outstretched hand bulging. She strained to move her hand a few times, then her eyes slowly lost focus—and just like that, she died.
She died with her eyes wide open...

Outside the Prime Minister's Residence, Leo Bo asked Sophie Sun, puzzled, "President, why have you been standing here watching the Prime Minister's Residence?"
Sophie Sun replied, enunciating each word, "I'm waiting to see."
"See what?"
"To see a birthday banquet turn into a funeral! To see just how deep the emperor's love for Chloe Zhu goes."
Liu Bo was confused. "How did a celebration turn into a funeral?"
Sophie Sun chuckled. "That idiot Wendy Zhu asked me for an abortion medicine. I added a little something extra to it."
Liu Bo said, "I see... But what did you mean about seeing how deep the emperor's love for her is?"
"I've already told the emperor about Chloe Zhu and Evan Xiao's affair! I want to see, now that he knows about her betrayal, whether he'll take the opportunity to punish her..."
......
Kenneth Lawrence chased after Wendy Zhu to a secluded spot and asked anxiously, "Wendy, what happened? Why did she start bleeding so badly?"
Wendy Zhu shook her head. "I don't know! I really don't know..."
"Didn't you give her the medicine?"
"I asked Sophie Sun for a pill. She said it was a third-tier spirit medicine, that it would cause a miscarriage but wouldn't harm anyone!"
"Could she have tampered with the medicine?"
"I'll go ask her myself!" Wendy Zhu declared.
"The spirit healer found out it was an abortion pill. I can tell—not just the emperor, but Grandmother and Father are even more suspicious of us now!" Kenneth Lawrence felt like his heart was on fire. "What should we do?"
