Du Yuqing had completely lost her heart. She didn't know anything, so she could only feel the burning pain and the itchiness from the tens of thousands of ants devouring her bones.

The torment she had never experienced before caused her tears to flow out like a gate.

Hua Xiujin immediately started sweating profusely. He was no noble man. If he had seen this sight on a normal day, he would have already wiped the sweat dry.

However … But the man the king sent him was still a virgin.

Was it due to Du Xue's conspiracy, or did the king want to use Su Xiaoxiao to test his abilities?

Resisting the urge, Hua Xiujin didn't dare to touch her now.

"Master, Xue Hou is here." There was suddenly a report outside.

"No!" Hua Xiujin said without hesitation.

"But …" The young servant still wanted to speak, but he was interrupted.

"Hua Xiujin." A clear and cold voice came in. Du Xue's heart broke when she heard the young girl's sobbing sounds.

He couldn't care less as he barged in.

The attendant actually wanted to report Xue Hou's visit.

Du Xue's identity was almost unobstructed in the Residence of Marquis Jin. If they tried to barge in, no one would be able to stop them without Hua Xiujin personally showing her face.

When Du Xue saw Du Yuqing crying uncontrollably inside the muslin, her heart tightened and her teeth clenched tightly.

Today, she had wanted to come to Marquis Jin's residence earlier, but who knew that the king would send some troops to prepare for the battle in the north, delaying her time and humiliating her.

"Isn't Xue Hou going to call for reinforcements today? How did you have the time to come and find me, is it because you can't bear to part with me? Or are you afraid that we won't meet again in the future? " Seeing him barge in, there was no trace of anger on Hua Xiujin's face. Instead, she asked with a smile.

"What did you give her?" Although Du Xue did not know how to react, she knew that Hua Xiujin must have fed her something when she saw Du Yuqing's stupid appearance.

"Oh, I just wanted her to forget the pain …" Hua Xiujin's eyes flashed, and she suddenly pushed Du Yuqing away. She pushed away the veil, got off the bed, and walked to Du Xue's side, smiling as she said, "Wang's staff punishment today was merciless, Miss Su was in so much pain, I was powerless to do anything but apply some ointment. Since Xue Hou is here, may I ask Young Marquis to help her relieve her pain?"

With that, Hua Xiujin tidied up her clothes and left with a smile on her face.

Du Xue had arrived just in time. He had drugged her and was at a loss as to what to do. Now that the mess had been thrown at him, he could go to the next room to have fun. No matter what happened, Du Xue was in charge of it all, and Wang Shouchuan would not blame him.

He could also observe the fire from the other side of the river to see what kind of show Du Xue and Wang were playing.

Du Xue didn't expect Hua Xiujin to leave just like that, leaving the tortured Du Yuqing to herself.

He didn't have enough time to think about it. Looking at the young girl crying in pain on the bed, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. However, he didn't know how to comfort her.

Du Xue walked to the bed and lifted the blanket, wrapping it tightly around her and attempting to take her back home.

However, after carrying her for only two steps, he suddenly realized that he couldn't bring her back. If he did, Du Yuxi would blame himself and he wouldn't be the only one getting punished.

The king already had a grudge against him. If he angered the king, his situation would become dire.

After thinking it over for a while, Du Xue put Du Yuqing back on the bed and reached out her hand to tap her acupoint. Du Xue could only put Du Yuqing back on the bed after thinking it over for a while, and reached out her hand to touch her acupoint.

"It's almost done. I'll go find a doctor for you." Du Xue was even more anxious than she was. Her pretty eyes were filled with anxiety and heartache. She didn't care whether she could hear him or not as she dashed out after finishing her sentence.

"Hua Xiujin, give me the antidote." Du Xue kicked open a carved wooden door with a sullen expression.

"What antidote?" Hua Xiujin was carrying a beauty in her arms. Her gown was half-faded, and her arms were open. She asked innocently in response.

When the group of beauties saw Xue Hou barging in with a sullen face, they hastily tidied up their clothes and respectfully saluted her.

"You know what kind of medicine Xiaoxiao was drugged with. You'd better give me the antidote quickly, or else …"

"Oh, Young Marquis is talking about that," Hua Xiujin's rosy red lips slightly lifted as she smiled brightly, "Miss Su's ass was injured, so I gave her some painkilling ointment to make her feel better."

"If it was the painkiller ointment, why would she be so upset? "Even if I point her acupoints, I can't slow her down …"

"Du Xue, you opened her acupoints?" The smile on Hua Xiujin's face froze. This was bad. This time, someone was going to die.

If the daughter of a sinner died at Marquis Jin Manor, even the empress dowager wouldn't be able to protect him if she angered him.

"Why?" When Du Xue saw the drastic change in his expression, she couldn't help but become nervous.

Hua Xiujin had always been talking and laughing with Yanyan, she rarely turned pale with fright, it seemed like the situation was very serious.

"Do you understand the taboo of medicine?" Hua Xiujin gritted her teeth and pushed aside the woman beside her. She then rushed to the room where Du Yuqing was.
