Chapter 61 Xie Xuanyin's Ruthlessness!

Xie Yuanhe and Wang Luhai had just reached the door when they heard Xie Xuanyin order Song Xuerou to come in.

Feng Qing didn't care whether she was the Princess Consort of Chu or not. He picked her up like a chick and threw her directly onto the bedside!

"Your Highness, what are you doing!"

Before Song Xuerou could react, she met Xie Xuanyin's gloomy gaze.

She trembled with fear, but still stubbornly insisted, "Even if you are the Crown Prince, you can't treat me like this! I am, after all, your elder sister-in-law! You can't do anything to me!"

"Eldest sister-in-law? You dare to say that?"

Xie Xuanyin smiled.

There's no one else in the world who would dare call herself his elder sister-in-law except for that idiot Song Xuerou!

"Who said I was going to do anything to you?"

He certainly wouldn't do it himself.

He thought it was dirty!

Xie Xuanyin gave Physician Chen a wink, and Physician Chen immediately lowered his head and stepped forward.

Before Song Xuerou could react, he had already grabbed her chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

Song Xuerou struggled violently!

"How dare you! What did you feed me?!"

She was anxious to pry the medicine out.

Unfortunately, this medicine melts in your mouth!

A sour and bitter taste instantly filled my mouth!

Song Xuerou couldn't help but gag.

In an instant, she became dizzy and disoriented, and the people in front of her appeared as double images.

"What is this...?"

Xie Xuanyin looked down at her, his eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with endless indifference. "Since you have caused Ali such suffering, you should naturally bear the pain Ali is experiencing now."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Consort De clapped her hands in delight, "Well done, Crown Prince! You should make her burn like a foreigner too!"

Xie Xuanyin: "..."

I want to laugh, but I can't.

Fearing that Xie Xuanyin would be angry, Xie Yuanhe quickly pulled Consort De aside, saying, "Let's say less."

Although he initially intended to protect Song Xuerou, things had already come to this point, and Xie Xuanyin was clearly angry, so Xie Yuanhe could only wish Song Xuerou good luck in his heart!

Song Xuerou struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground.

I thought she would also faint.

But what's frightening is that instead of falling into a coma like Shen Ruoli, she became lucid and developed a high fever!

She could even clearly feel the pain in every inch of her body.

Not only did my muscles ache, but my bones also felt like they had been broken and then pieced back together, inch by inch.

Waves of excruciating pain made Song Xuerou wish she could bite her tongue and commit suicide!

Unfortunately, she couldn't muster any strength at all!

"How does it feel? Isn't it excruciatingly painful?"

Xie Xuanyin watched coldly as she curled up in pain, her face turning pale from the sudden high fever. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. "So now, Princess Consort of Chu, you can tell me why you and the Prince of Chu poisoned Ali!"

"I don't……"

Song Xuerou gritted her teeth and strained to squeeze out a few words.

She wanted to poison Shen Ruoli.

But she hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet!

It's also because she wasn't ruthless enough.

If she had known that Shen Ruoli was setting this trap, she should have been more ruthless yesterday and actually poisoned Shen Ruoli!

"That's right. Princess Chu and Ali can be considered to have a deep sisterly bond."

Speaking of "deep sisterly affection," Xie Xuanyin said sarcastically, "So, it was the King of Chu who forced you to do this?"

Xie Yuanhe, who was trying to keep a low profile in the corner, felt a pang of unease upon hearing this and secretly prayed that Song Xuerou wouldn't say anything wrong.

Now he understands.

Xie Xuanyin isn't after Song Xuerou, he's after Xie Xuansong!

In the past, Xie Yuanhe would have definitely tried to exonerate Xie Xuansong.

At that time, Consort De pointed her finger at him and berated him, which made Xie Yuanhe realize his mistake.

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh.

He supported Xie Xuansong so much, but that scoundrel is useless and can't be helped at all!

But Xie Xuanyin, who had been quietly indulging himself, made him take notice!

I thought Song Xuerou still had some brains, but who knew she would disappoint Xie Yuanhe again—

"My lord has not forced me to do anything! Crown Prince, you are trying to frame my lord! You want to torture me into confessing!"

Song Xuerou cried out in pain.

She struggled to crawl toward Xie Xuanyin, "You and Shen Ruoli set a trap for me. If my lord finds out, he will definitely not let you off!"

"Yeah?"

Xie Xuanyin smiled, "Then I can only grant your wish."

He turned to Xie Yuanhe and said, "Father, Mother's birthday is approaching. To show my filial piety, I have specially summoned my elder brother back to the capital to present a gift to Mother. Father will not object, will he?"

Xie Yuanhe: "..."

Since he's already said that, what else can he say?

"That's natural."

Xie Yuanhe nodded awkwardly, "It is indeed appropriate to have your elder brother return to the capital for your mother's birthday."

He had previously planned to use this opportunity to have Xie Xuansong return to the capital to resume his post.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanyin beat him to it.

However, Xie Xuanyin's decision to send Xie Xuansong back to the capital was probably not to reinstate him, but rather to trap him like a turtle in a jar!

Xie Yuanhe sighed, his mind clear, yet he could say nothing.

Upon hearing that Xie Xuansong could return to the capital, Song Xuerou was immediately excited and overjoyed.

"Your Highness, you wait! My lord is back, and you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Xuanyin instructed Feng Qing, "The Princess Consort of Chu is seriously ill. Why don't you hurry up and bring the Prince of Chu back to the capital!"

"Yes, Master!"

Feng Qing gave Song Xuerou a sympathetic look, then turned and left.

Song Xuerou stood there stunned, not even bothering to cry out in pain.

"When did I become seriously ill?"

"The Princess Consort of Chu is delirious with fever."

Xie Xuanyin smiled and said, "Imperial Physician Chen, why don't you hurry up and treat Princess Chu?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Physician Chen bowed his head and stepped forward to begin administering acupuncture to Song Xuerou. "Princess Consort of Chu, your high fever persists, and ordinary medicine is no longer effective! I will administer acupuncture to you; please bear with it."

He claimed to be performing acupuncture, but he didn't insert the needles into the intended areas!

Song Xuerou screamed in pain!

She was covered in sweat and nearly fainted!

If she had just fainted, that would have been fine, but she just couldn't faint!

Every time he was about to roll his eyes, Doctor Chen would prick him awake with a needle!

Shen Ruoli was unconscious, but she was conscious and enduring the excruciating pain!

Xie Xuanyin's ruthlessness was terrifying, filling Song Xuerou with a deep-seated fear!

"Your Highness! What exactly are you trying to do!"

Song Xuerou could no longer hold back and weakly begged for mercy, "Please, please let me go! I... I can't take it anymore! I admit, I hate Shen Ruoli to the core! I wish she would be torn to pieces and die a horrible death!"

"ah……"

Before she could finish speaking, Physician Chen promptly inserted a needle, causing her to scream in pain once again!

"Father, can you hear me?"

Xie Xuanyin raised an eyebrow.

Xie Yuanhe choked, “...I heard it.”

"So what did Father Emperor say about today's events?"

Xie Xuanyin explicitly demanded that he state his position: "The Princess Consort of Chu has poisoned Ali, and she and her maid have already confessed to it. Ali has suffered such an undeserved calamity, and Father Emperor must give her justice!"

He's determined to make him deal with Song Xuerou so that he can vent his anger for Shen Ruoli!

Xie Yuanhe sighed helplessly.

He's lived half his life, but he's sighed more than he has today!

Meeting Xie Xuanyin's dark gaze, Xie Yuanhe knew he had no choice but to speak, "Someone, convey my decree..."
