"Your Majesty..." Qi Xuan and Qi Ying wanted to help her up, but they were too frightened to approach Qin Weiyang's current miserable state.

Qin Weiyang was in great pain, her eyes bloodshot with hatred as she looked at the timid and submissive Qiying and Qixuan in front of her.

She screamed hysterically, "You two treacherous little bitches, if I don't live, neither will you! Let's die together!"

As she spoke, she shakily pulled out another whistle, put it in her mouth, and blew it a few times with all her might.

The whistle has stopped.

Qi Xuan and Qi Ying simultaneously clutched their stomachs and bent over, their faces contorted in pain: "Your Majesty, please spare us! We'll go and tear the Ninth Prince's wife apart right now!"

At this moment, Aunt She had already reached Lin Shuang, her hands outstretched as she was about to tear off Lin Shuang's clothes and hair.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Shuang's eyes. With a slight turn, she raised her foot and easily kicked the elderly Aunt She into the roadside flower bushes, accidentally crushing a few Gu worms in the process.

The repeated backlashes from the Gu worms were too much for Qin Weiyang, even with her iron body.

The lurking mother Gu within her body went berserk, nearly tearing her internal organs to shreds. Blood gushed from her mouth and nose, and soon she was barely breathing, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

The Gu poison within Qi Ying and Qi Xuan was fully activated, and they soon collapsed unconscious with their intestines ruptured.

The Imperial Garden is, after all, part of the palace grounds, and even in the most remote corners, there will be Imperial Guards patrolling.

The loud shouts of Qin Weiyang and her servants had already alerted the Imperial Guards.

Hearing the Imperial Guards approaching, Ji Fengyao realized that the person lying in ambush nearby had already left. She then gracefully approached Qin Weiyang, knelt down, and asked with a smile, "Now, do you understand?"

"You... lowly... bandit!" Qin Weiyang coughed up blood, glaring hatefully at Ji Fengyao.

"I've traveled through so many worlds, and I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You're dying without even knowing how you died," Ji Fengyao clicked her tongue and shook her head, like a kind-hearted fairy: "Then I'll kindly tell you, actually..."

When she said this, Qin Weiyang's eyes widened in surprise.

"There is no Physician Xiao, there has only ever been the Ninth Princess Consort, me," Ji Fengyao said with a smile, spreading her hands. In her hand was the Gu worm that Qin Shuiyang had used to harm her at the Tongyou Imperial Banquet.

The Gu worms, nurtured by Ji Fengyao, had become glossy and even looked much better.

Qin Weiyang could sense that the Gu worm was still connected to her, but it had recognized Ji Fengyao as its new master!

"Who...who are you?!" Qin Weiyang was shocked, horrified, and utterly bewildered.

Ji Fengyao, the one who avenged the Ninth Prince, finally smiled coldly and said in a low but stern voice: "You have harmed his appearance, so I will disfigure you; you wish to take his life, so I will take yours!"

"Heh... I never imagined that Your Majesty, thinking you've humiliated the Ninth Prince, would actually be adding wings to a tiger, hahahaha!" Qin Weiyang laughed sadly and strangely, making her already difficult breathing even more difficult. She looked at Ji Fengyao and laughed until tears of blood streamed down her face: "But do you think the Ninth Prince you're protecting is some kind of clean thing? Do you think he's still some kind of treasure?"

At this moment, a squad of Imperial Guards had arrived nearby.

Seeing that Aunt She was lying on the ground like a dead dog under Lin Shuang's feet, and that two unconscious maids and Consort Qin covered in blood were lying next to Ji Fengyao, none of them knew what had happened and dared not make any conclusions.
