Ye Qianning hugged Ye Beihan. At this moment, Ye Beihan was in a daze, switching back and forth between pushing her away and not pushing her away.
"You're... courting death..."
"Cousin, I don't understand what you're saying?"
His body felt increasingly heavy and irritable. He had endured even the most unbearable poisons before, and as long as Ye Qianning didn't cause trouble, he could get through it too.
"Water... Someone come..."
He wanted someone to bring him some cold water for a bath, but Ye Qianning only poured him a glass of water to drink.
"cousin……"
Having just been poisoned by her, Ye Beihan was furious and carelessly knocked over the tea that Ye Qianning was offering him.
"Get out..."
"Qian Ning won't leave, cousin. Seeing how much you're suffering, how about letting Qian Ning help you?"
She rushed into Ye Beihan's arms and hugged his strong waist tightly.
Enraged, Ye Beihan raised his left hand and grabbed her neck.
"You asked for it..."
Thunder and rain, the red curtain falling to the ground—all are self-inflicted.
When Shuangshuo returned, he discovered that his Hehuan Gu was missing. Few people knew about the things he raised.
Even Ye Yueze didn't know that this thing was poisonous; he just thought it was some little trinkets he kept as pets.
"not good……"
Feeling uneasy, he intended to go and report to his master, but he heard a sound coming from inside the house, which made him stop in his tracks.
It seems that the love-binding gu he raised was used on its master.
He was guilty, and dared not take another step forward; he could only end it inside.
He cursed Ye Qianning in his heart. Now is the critical moment when Nanning is about to fall into chaos. Does she have to cause trouble before she is satisfied?
When the noise subsided, Shuangshuo sensed something was wrong and asked someone in the room.
"Owner……"
After a long while, Ye Beihan's voice came from inside, his tone heavy with nasal consonant.
"Come in……"
Shuang Shuo pushed open the door and was shocked by what he saw.
Ye Beihan's clothes were disheveled, as if he had just casually put them on.
Ye Qianning lay on the bed, a dagger stuck in her chest, staring at Ye Beihan in disbelief.
"Cousin, why..."
She gave Ye Beihan everything, but she never expected it to turn out like this.
Ye Beihan's heart was truly cold to the bone; no matter what she did, he remained unmoved.
Ye Beihan held one end of the dagger in his hand, his anger still burning, his eyes bloodshot.
"Filthy... Any woman who climbs into my bed has only one path: death. Ye Qianning, you shouldn't have gambled."
If Ye Beihan were to simply lift his hand and pull the dagger from Ye Qianning's body, she would surely die.
Ye Qianning realized this too; Ye Beihan really wanted to kill her. Tears streamed down her face, and she opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.
“Cousin, you… just now… agreed to Qian Ning’s conditions… Qian Ning has thought it through, I want to go back to Bei Liang…”
"Very well! I agree..."
Ye Qianning managed a weak smile. Ye Beihan had promised to take her back to Beiliang, so he wouldn't kill her now.
They had been intimate, and one day, she would truly become Ye Beihan's Regent Princess.
But she was too naive; she didn't understand the man in front of her at all.
Ye Beihan felt icy cold all over, and he ruthlessly pulled out the dagger.
Even Shuang Shuo, who had just entered, was greatly shocked.
"Master, you mustn't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Beihan pulled out his bright red dagger in an instant, blood still dripping from it.
Ye Qianning hadn't expected this outcome. Ye Beihan's promise to take her back to Beiliang didn't mean he'd let her go back alive, but rather to take her corpse back with him.
Suddenly, she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Ye Qianning sneered. She was stunningly beautiful, and any man would fall at her feet.
But she insisted on gambling on Ye Beihan, this heartless man.
"Master, now that the princess is dead, will it affect our grand plan?"
Shuang Shuo didn't care about Ye Qianning at all; she was just a pawn, and once she was gone, she was gone.
"The Hehuan Gu is well-raised..."
Ye Beihan spoke in a languid tone, but Shuang Shuo knew that his master meant it by saying this, not by appearing indifferent.
It was filled with rage and murderous intent!
Shuang Shuo knelt on the ground, offering his curved sword: "Please punish me, Master."
It was his lax guarding that gave Ye Qianning the opportunity to steal the Hehuan Gu.
"I will remember this punishment."
After saying that, Ye Beihan raised his cold eyes and turned his back to Shuang Shuo.
"Inject poisonous insects into her living body to control her, and let her live for another two days."
Ye Beihan ordered Shuang Shuo to inject poisonous insects into his body, the most toxic method.
Even if the person who was poisoned dies, the poisonous insects can still control her body. As long as the person who administered the poison can control it well, the poisonous insects will control her body, and she will be just like a living person when she walks or sits.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Qianning was seriously injured at this time, but she was not dead. Shuang Shuo carried her into his secret room where he raised poisonous insects with a thin blanket.
Upon entering, a strong, fishy smell emanating from the animals hits you.
Shuang Shuo tied her to a chair, his eyes so calm that he didn't seem like he was about to kill her.
The secret room was brightly lit. Ye Qianning had lost too much blood and her vision was somewhat blurred, but she knew that if she fell into Shuang Shuo's hands, she would be subjected to inhuman torture.
"You... let me go... you ugly monster..."
The words "ugly monster" made Shuang Shuo pause in his actions, but he continued to tie Ye Qianning's hands and feet.
"Soon, Princess Qian Ning, the most beautiful woman in Northern Liang, will only be uglier than me."
He was raised in a toxic environment from a young age, and his whole body rotted. It was already a miracle that he survived.
What do you want to do?
Ye Qianning was terrified; the feeling of fear made her temporarily forget her pain.
"What the master needs are obedient pawns, so naturally he wants to make you the obedient one."
As he spoke, Shuang Shuo stood up and took out an airtight iron cage, bringing it close to Ye Qianning.
Inside, there were rows of bright red venomous insects, snakes shaped like fingers, each two feet long.
Even with her vision blurred, Ye Qianning could still make out what was inside. Her breath caught in her throat, and she desperately tried to escape.
But his hands and feet were bound by Shuangshuo, and even the red marks on his wrists and ankles did nothing to help.
Following Ye Beihan's orders, all these poisonous insects were to be inserted into her body.
"No...no..."
Ye Qianning's messy hair was soaked with sweat; she was terrified of this mollusk.
"Let me go, and I'll do whatever you want."
Shuang Shuo's pockmarked face revealed a creepy smile.
He pulled a poisonous insect from his hand and hung it on Ye Qianning's delicate shoulder.
The venomous insect secreted a cool, sticky fluid that covered her skin.
Upon smelling the blood, it crawled its head toward Ye Qianning's wound, seemingly enjoying the pleasure brought by the blood.
"Ah... Go away, no, I'll obey, please tell my cousin that I still have value to him."
Nangong Jingyao, he hasn't completely betrayed me yet, I can persuade him.
"I don't want to die, Shuangshuo, please spare me."
Shuangshuo's favorite sound is a person's dying pleas for mercy, a sound he hasn't uttered since he was old enough to understand.
