C5 Your Life Is Hanging by a Thread

Consort Hui's face was pale and she gritted her teeth. "You... have been standing outside the door?"

She did not know how much this trash had talked to them just now! Even if he is no longer favoured, he is still a prince. Could it be that I am still able to kill him out of the blue?

"It didn't take long." Xiao Chenshun's expression did not change. He only gave a secretive smile, "Probably only enough to hear Consort Hui say the word 'trash'."

Consort Hui's expression stiffened and her face was ashen and did not respond.

"Chen Shun was just anxious to come and ask for his saviour and coincidentally met Consort Hui to get angry. This is really a sin."

Xiao Chenshun lazily stretched his body and instantly put away the coldness from earlier. He once again put on a mischievous hooligan appearance, "Why? Is there a trash in imperial concubine Palace waiting to be dealt with? If that is the case, chen Shun is willing to work for imperial concubine."

These words were both to give Consort Hui a way out and also to scold the people in Consort Hui Palace.

Consort Hui did not expect him to suddenly speak so smartly. Although she was angry in her heart, her face was still full of smiles, "Your highness is too serious. But... The School of the Emperor Star has always been peaceful. But recently, a thief has appeared -"

She pointed at Rann Shuang, who had been beaten to a pulp on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, look. You are currently cleaning up... Your Highness has a daughter's body. It is best not to stay here for too long. It will save you from dirtying your eyes - Qin'er. Serve Your Highness with tea in the main hall."

As she spoke, she gave a look to the palace maid. That maid immediately blessed her body and said softly, "Your Highness, please move to the main hall."

Rann Shuang's breath was weak as she lay on the ground. Her originally chaotic mind gradually became clear after hearing their conversation. She crawled over with difficulty and firmly grabbed Xiao Chenshun's sleeve, her voice hoarse.

"Your Highness, this servant was wronged... This servant did not steal anything, please investigate..."

It was not easy for her to gather her strength and finish her sentence, but in front of her eyes, it was already dark.

Consort Hui and the others clearly wanted to think of a way to send Xiao Chenshun away from here, so that she could silently become a strand of vengeful spirit. Since he had already come to save her, she naturally had to continue acting with him so that Consort Hui would not get what she wanted.

Xiao Chenshun's eyes quickly swept past her. That glance seemed to contain surprise and praise. Then he pretended to be surprised and turned towards Consort Hui.

"Consort Hui, this eunuch is the one who stole the Night-Luminescent Pearls of the Emperor Star school?"

"Yes." Consort Hui proudly nodded her head and immediately became alert, "Your Highness would not want to interfere in the matter of this lowly slave, right? My dynasty has a clear rule that prohibits the Prince from interfering in the affairs of the harem."

"That is of course. But it is really unfortunate... "Xiao Chenshun laughed and pointed his long finger at Rann Shuang," Chen Shun fell into the water today and happened to receive the help of this eunuch. In total, he is still my saviour. "

After he finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to Consort Hui and made enough of the formalities.

" Not to mention that he is crying out for injustice now, even if he really stole the Night Pearl, chen Shun is also willing to make up for his loss. Now that Consort Hui beat him up, I wonder if she would be willing to give me a favor and reward him to be my personal servant? "

At this point, it was equivalent to not giving Consort Hui a chance to reject.

Consort Hui lowered her eyes as she was deep in thought. The light in her eyes had clearly changed several times.

Damn it. It was already a matter of time before he killed Rann Shuang without anyone noticing, but he had to kill someone halfway. It was definitely impossible for him to make a move now.

Furthermore, Xiao Chenshun had heard a lot about the conversation just now. If he couldn't silence her, he could only go along with his plan now so that he could win over this trash.

Consort Hui's mind was constantly changing. In the blink of an eye, she had already made a decision. She raised her head and said gently, "Your Highness has a point. That Night Pearl was not a rare thing either. If Your Highness really likes this servant, just take him away."

Xiao Chenshun looked happy and was about to go over and hug her, but he heard Consort Hui pause for a moment and add in with a good temper.

"However, after all, they are people from the School of the Emperor Star. Letting His Highness bring them out in such ragged clothes is also a disgrace to our reputation. Why don't Your Highness wait here? I will send someone to tidy up this servant and give him a few sentences before sending him over. "

Xiao Chenshun did not want to press on and only smiled gently, "That's good. Consort Hui, please take good care of my benefactor."

He bit down hard on the last few words, and his tone revealed an indescribable pressure. It was only the time for an incense stick to burn. Even if Consort Hui had the guts, she would not dare to kill him under his nose.

After all, the Crown Prince had yet to be chosen. Since ancient times, the Crown Prince had always been the eldest son. Even if he was not favoured, these people were still somewhat afraid.

"Your Highness, please be at ease." Consort Hui turned her head and lifted her chin towards the palace maid, "Take him away."

Rann Shuang was in a daze and felt that something was wrong. Someone lifted her hands and feet and walked for an unknown amount of time before throwing her heavily onto the ground. Then, she roughly helped her change out of the eunuch uniform that had been beaten to a pulp and tidied up a new set of clothes.

The few people who were playing with her seemed to have a grudge with her. They poked and poked her wounds, causing her to break out in cold sweat from the pain.

It was not easy for her to clean up and her body felt better. Rann Shuang could finally open her eyes to see but she saw Consort Hui's fierce face in front of her eyes and her nails were stuck to her face. She said coldly, "You even know how to call for reinforcements. En? "

The tip of their noses almost touched each other, and Rann Shuang immediately woke up.

But before she could react, Consort Hui's cold hand pinched her cheek and forcefully stuffed a round pill into her mouth!

What was given to her at this time was definitely not something good!

Rann Shuang instinctively wanted to vomit. However, the pill melted in her mouth and instantly dissolved in her mouth. Only a faint bitter taste was left on her lips and tongue.

"What did you give me to eat?!"

"Of course it's a good treasure." Consort Hui actually smiled. When she let go of her, she also patted her cheek flirtatiously, "Heart Devouring Powder, it erupts once every three months. When it erupts, the entire body becomes ice cold, like ten thousand arrows piercing through the heart, finally dying from pain..."

As she spoke, her bright red lips lightly blew towards Rann Shuang and it was extremely contemptuous, "You want to protect this cheap life... If you don't use your female body to show others and your mouth is a little tight, perhaps... I will regularly reward you with some antidote?"

In order to prevent her from leaking the secret, this vicious woman actually gave her a poison that would take effect at a fixed time!

Rann Shuang's anger instantly reached its peak.

She originally thought that after enduring this time and recuperating, she would be able to leave this palace that was as deep as a sea of smoke, but she used a pill to tie her tightly around this place and could not go anywhere!

Rann Shuang hated being controlled by others the most in her life. For a moment, her eyes were red from anger and her mind was filled with killing, so she did not know what happened afterwards.

When she came back to her senses, she was already sent out of the room and was trapped in Xiao Chenshun's firm and strong arms.

The man's arms carried a faint scent of grass, but Rann Shuang was not in the mood to smell it. When she heard Xiao Chenshun saying thank you to Consort Hui in an insincere manner by her ear, her gaze fell on a short knife hanging from his waist.

It was a Western Region short knife made of pure gold. The sheath was inlaid with gems and was usually only used for young masters and brothers.

However, even if the blade was not good, and coupled with her skillful technique, it was enough to kill a person!

Rann Shuang gritted her teeth and suddenly jumped from Xiao Chenshun's arms at an extremely fast speed. She pulled out the short knife from the other side and the blade drew a beautiful arc in the air before flying straight in Consort Hui's direction!

She had to kill her and get the antidote!

Consort Hui's expression changed from reserved to frightened. Rann Shuang was indifferent and did not hold back at all. The corners of her lips curled up into an iconic grim smile like a death god before killing.

But this smile only lasted for a moment before it froze on her face.

There seemed to be a warm big hand pinching the back of her neck. Immediately, there was the sound of metal hitting the ground by her ears. Immediately after, Rann Shuang's body turned soft and her eyes fell into endless darkness.
