Xie Xiuer couldn't help but sneer when she saw Xie Yunjiao looking so frightened. She would never be like this before.

Xie Yunjiao now made her feel disdainful yet at the same time relieved.

"I don't need your money." Xie Xiu'er said, "I just want you to die!"

Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment before she slowly spoke, "It's you? Princess Yunqiao?"

Xie Xiuer asked Lian'er to pull down Xie Yunjiao's blindfold. The sudden strong light made Xie Yunjiao close her eyes again the moment she opened them. It took her a while to react.

"Aren't you afraid of Jing Kai pursuing you by doing this?" Xie Yunjiao opened her eyes and looked at Xie Xiu'er. "Also, my White Wolf Alliance won't let you go either."

Xie Xiuer sneered and looked at Xie Yunjiao as if she were an idiot. She said, "Do you think I would let him know that I was the one who kidnapped you? Besides, your White Wolf Alliance is just a bunch of useless people without a leader. How could they possibly have the ability to enter this palace and save you?

Don't forget that it took you a lot of effort to get the cinchona tree when you first entered the palace."

Xie Yunjiao's expression changed, she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Xie Xiuer smiled smugly upon seeing this: "What? You're not going to argue with me anymore? Aren't you being stubborn?"

Xie Xiuer winked at Lian'er: "Lian'er, slap me."

Lian'er came over and slapped Xie Yunjiao twice, hurting her own hands. Xie Yunjiao's brows were twisted together, and she seemed to be in great pain.

Xie Xiuer was very satisfied with the effect.

"If you want my life, just kill me directly, and I won't have to suffer so much." Xie Yunjiao said, spitting on the ground with some blood in her saliva.

The corner of her mouth was broken by Lian'er, and now her mouth was full of fishy taste.

"Lian'er, you kept hitting me even though I didn't say stop," Xie Xiu'er said. "You were the one who didn't want all this in the first place, but now you're coming back to fight me for it. Do you think I'll let you die so easily?"

While being beaten, Xie Yunjiao listened to Xie Xiuer talking. Although she couldn't hear the sound of the slap clearly, she still roughly heard what she wanted to know.

Yes, that's right.

If it were just Xie Xiuer's people, it would be impossible for them to harm her. She just wanted to know some things she didn't know through Xie Xiuer's mouth.

"You want Jing Kai, and I never thought of competing with you for it. Can't you just forgive me?" Xie Yunjiao said.

"Spare you?" Xie Xiu'er's eyes were bloodshot, "I promised to spare your life and send you to Jiuzhou, but what about you? Why did you come back? To take away everything that was within my reach?

They stole my mother, they stole my brother Kai, they even stole my identity!"

"No, I never thought about it." Xie Yunjiao said.

Take away everything from her? Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment. Those were things that Xie Xiuer was born with, how could they just take them away?

"Shut up! If you didn't want to take it away, why did you come back!" Xie Xiu'er felt that Lian'er hit her too lightly, and Xie Yunjiao could still argue with her.

So she asked Lian'er to get out of the way and she slapped Xie Yunjiao herself.

Xie Yunjiao's head hit the wall and she fainted.

Xie Xiuer glanced at Xie Yunjiao, whose eyes were tightly closed, and frowned: "Playing dead for me? Lian'er, wake her up."

Without seeing Xie Yunjiao's painful expression, Xie Xiuer felt that she had not vented her anger enough.

Lian'er responded and walked over. When she reached Xie Yunjiao, she suddenly saw blood flowing from Xie Yunjiao's head, which had dyed the wall she was leaning against, as well as her hair and clothes red. She was shocked.

"Princess...Princess." Lian'er said in panic.

"What's going on? Why are you so scared?" Xie Xiuer said unhappily.

Xie Xiuer walked closer and finally saw clearly in the dim candlelight. A stream of blood slowly flowed from Xie Yunjiao's head, dyeing her eyes red.

A bloodthirsty light flashed in Xie Xiuer's eyes. She thought it was a good idea to let Xie Yunjiao die like this. This way, everything would be over once and for all.

"Princess, should we help her treat her wound?" Lian'er asked.

She looked at Xie Yunjiao's wound with some fear. The blood kept flowing out.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Xie Yunjiao dies from excessive blood loss.

Xie Xiuer looked at Xie Yunjiao's face, and a vicious thought flashed through her mind. She said to Lian'er, "Don't worry about it. Our goal is to make her die. Now that she's dead, there's no need for us to do anything."

Lian'er glanced at Xie Yunjiao, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.

She obviously hated Xie Yunjiao very much, but when she saw Xie Yunjiao injured and so weak, she actually felt uncomfortable in her heart. What was going on?

Lian'er looked at Xie Xiu'er, then at Xie Yunjiao.

She thought that maybe she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't bear to see people bleeding.

Lian'er absentmindedly helped Xie Xiu'er out of the dark room. Xie Xiu'er sat on the bed and suddenly said that she was tired and wanted to sleep.

Lian'er hurriedly shook her head, trying to get rid of the uneasiness in her heart, took a deep breath, and calmed down to help Xie Xiu'er wash and groom.

"Lian'er, you hurt me!"

Suddenly Xie Xiuer screamed in displeasure.

Lian'er was startled and realized that she had accidentally pulled Xie Xiu'er's hair when she took off her headdress.

She looked at the few strands of hair in her hand, her eyes widened. Pulling so much hair out of the princess's head must have been very painful.

Before Lian'er could react, she was slapped in the face.

Her head was knocked to one side, and soon her face was burning with pain.

She knelt down in panic and begged for mercy from Xie Xiuer: "I deserve to die. I didn't mean to do that."

Xie Xiuer snorted coldly, still feeling angry.

"If you don't want to serve me, just get out of here. Don't get in the way and be annoying!" Xie Xiu'er said unhappily.

Lian'er also felt it was strange. She usually helped the princess do a lot of things, but she had never been so absent-minded as she was now.

She thought maybe she was really scared by the continuous flow of blood.

After apologizing to Lian'er, she said that she was not feeling well and asked others to serve Xie Xiu'er. She left the bedroom and unknowingly came to the entrance of the dark room.

When she realized it, she was shocked!

It's strange, why did she come here unconsciously?

Xie Yunjiao's injured face appeared in her mind, and no matter how she shook her head, she couldn't get rid of it.

"Sister Lian'er, it's great that you are here. Please come and see the princess. Something has happened to her!" A little palace maid ran over breathlessly and said to Lian'er.

"What? What's going on?!" Lian'er's heart was even more confused, and she hurriedly followed the little palace maid to Xie Xiu'er's bedroom.
