C7 There Was Still a Long Way to Go

Shuangyao's slap caused the entire courtyard to be in chaos, and everyone's expression changed as they panicked.

Yue Qing felt so much pain that half of her face was no longer hers. If it wasn't for the blood on her body and the crying of the female servant beside her, she would not have been able to react to what had happened.

Lateral Consort Lo saw Yue Qing in such a state and staggered backwards. Luckily, the servant beside her was able to support her in time.

This Shuangyao's guts were a little too big!

"Quickly call the Imperial Physician! Quickly get the Imperial Physician here!" Yue Qing was beaten so hard that she sat on the ground. She covered her face as she instructed the servant beside her, while staring at Shuangyao like a wolf pouncing on its prey. "You actually, actually ruined my appearance! When the prince comes back, let's see how he will deal with you!"

Shuangyao casually took out a piece of silk to carefully wipe the blood stains on the spikes of the ring. This ring was tailor-made for her. At first glance, it looked normal, but in reality, there was an extremely small spike on the inner side of the ring, and it was covered with poison.

"Tell Jun Liye? You can tell him that you can also tell the entire capital, and tell the Imperial Court. See how much I fear you. Yue Qing, you should know your limits. If you know what's good for you now, then immediately get out of my courtyard!" Shuangyao threw the blood-stained piece of silk onto the ground, and the fierceness in her eyes made people shiver.

Shuangyao knelt on one knee and held Yue Qing's chin with her palm. She disregarded the filth and stained her hand, causing her to feel even more pain.

"Let me tell you, you have already been poisoned by my Gu poison. If you want to find a doctor, there's no way to cure it. Every night, especially at midnight, you will have a splitting headache, and you will be in so much pain that you wish you were dead. Just bear with it. If you can't take it anymore, come and beg me. If I'm in a good mood, I might be able to give you the antidote."

Shuangyao threw her chin to the side and glanced at the servant beside Yue Qing. Due to the cold rain last night, the servant felt a chill in her heart.

However, Yue Qing could not move Shuangyao, and she was worried about whether she had really been poisoned. After thinking for a moment, she did not cry. She raised her hand and her servant immediately helped her up.

"Let's go and find a doctor!" Yue Qing turned around and left with a fierce gaze, as if warning Shuangyao that if she really dared to do anything to her, she would suffer in the future.

Shuangyao smiled lightly and did not care at all. What was she afraid of? What she was afraid of was that she could not make Yue Qing suffer, and she could not let her experience the pain of her deep-seated hatred.

The pain that Yue Qing was about to suffer was not even one out of ten thousand!

There was still a long way to go. I will slowly walk down the path of torture.

"I will accompany Mrs. Qing." When Lateral Consort Lo saw this, she felt that this place was even more torturing than a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. She immediately found a reason to leave with Yue Qing.

In the evening, Shuangyao had already calculated the birth dates of these male servants. None of them were extremely Yin.

She laid on the rattan chair and kept thinking about the task that her benefactor had entrusted her with — to find ten extremely Yin male servants and extract their hearts’ blood to help her benefactor cultivate a special Gu that could revive people from the dead. It would not be like her, who did not need to endure the sharp pain of the Gu.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a voice suddenly pulled Shuangyao back to reality.

"I heard that you said that this is your courtyard? Who exactly is this courtyard? I think you should know your place."

The voice was as cold as the first snowfall in the winter. In the blink of an eye, a blue robe flashed into Shuangyao's line of sight. Her face was already filled with anger.

"Yes, of course it's the prince's courtyard. The prince said that if he told me to get lost, I wouldn't be able to take care of my own belongings and would immediately get lost. Then may I ask the prince, do you want me to get lost now?" Shuangyao glanced at Jun Liye with a cold smile on her face.

It was so late that he came to seek justice for Yue Qing. It seemed that the deep feelings he had for her had been frozen in Jun Liye's heart. Just like what happened to her. He swore to marry her and live a happy life, but in the end, it was all just a dream.

She did not want to think about it anymore because the more she thought about it, the more hatred she felt in her blood. She wanted to kill him right now! She wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but letting him die was too easy!

Of course, Jun Liye would not let her go, but when he saw this woman smiling at him, her eyes were filled with provocation.

Jun Liye was even more unhappy when he saw her arrogance. He roughly pulled her hand and forcefully pulled the ring off her wrist. He looked at it with disdain and said, "Insignificant tricks."

"It's fine. As long as I can make me happy, I don't mind using any tricks." Shuangyao looked at her red wrist and said with a slightly fierce tone, "Southern Pacifying King, the most important thing right now is to make me happy. If I'm not happy, I won't save your former concubine."

Jun Liye quickly grabbed Shuangyao's neck, and his eyes were filled with ghostly shadows. He said in a dark and terrifying tone, "Even if you say you have a way, do you think I will allow you to threaten me again and again? As long as I want to, the torture you have suffered is much more painful than the pain Yue Qing gave me!"

"Southern Pacifying King, your ability to pinch people is top-notch. As for the rest, I am willing to meet you." Shuangyao fearlessly met his eyes, not willing to take a step back.

Jun Liye threw Shuangyao into the rattan chair and turned his body to look at the dark sky. "I have already seen the male servant you want. You can decide for yourself."

"Today, it does not meet my requirements. I would like to ask Your Highness to change another batch."

"Don't push your luck!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shuangyao stood up and was about to say something when she suddenly felt a pain in her chest, followed by a violent and intense pain that made her instantly break out in cold sweat. She almost lost her balance.

"You are just putting on an act. Do you think you can win my love? How naive!" Jun Liye's hands were behind his back, and his eyes were full of hatred. He had seen this kind of method many times.

Shuangyao originally did not want to show her side to Jun Liye, and she was planning to hold on, but her legs were already weak. She knelt down on the rattan chair and could barely breathe.

"Jun Liye... Ye... I will definitely make you feel pain a hundred times, a thousand times..." Shuangyao's voice was weak, as small as a mosquito. With a gust of wind, she disappeared into the air.

Jun Liye did not hear a single word.

When the White Tiger Fox saw this, it immediately came over and stuck itself between Shuangyao and Jun Liye, roaring as it protected Shuangyao.

"This King is not that stupid, and I have wasted my time!" Jun Liye did not put the White Tiger in his eyes, and he also could not stand Shuangyao putting on an act here. He left Shuangyao's courtyard, but he did not see that the hair on Shuangyao's forehead had already been soaked in sweat, and her lips were pale.

"Little Fox, carry me into the house." Shuangyao tried her best to raise her hand, and the White Tiger Fox obediently lay on her arm. When Shuangyao was on its back, it entered the room.
