Qiu Qiyi didn't speak, and neither did she. They just stood there, staring at each other and looking each other up and down.
Qiu Qiyi, with a gloomy face, glanced at her a few times before saying with obvious disdain:
"The dignified Regent of the Xia Kingdom would actually marry a woman as plain-looking as you. It's disgusting!"
"Holy crap, who are you?! Just say what you want, why resort to personal attacks? You're ugly, yet you still dare to show your face. It's like a toad marrying a frog, ugly but charming!!"
Lin Yuxin was furious. This was the first time someone had attacked her face like that. This was intolerable.
If she didn't fight back, she wouldn't be Lin Yuxin.
"How dare you!"
Qiu Qiyi roared and stood up abruptly. In a flash, he appeared in front of Lin Yuxin, raised his hand, grabbed Lin Yuxin's neck, and exerted a little force.
"Anyone who dares to be disrespectful before me is long gone, their graves are already overgrown with weeds!"
Qiu Qiyi's gaze was icy as he looked at Lin Yuxin and spoke in a sinister tone, as if he were about to kill her at any moment.
Suddenly, Lin Yuxin was grabbed by the neck. She didn't react for a moment, only feeling the hand on her neck slowly tightening. She also began to have difficulty breathing and couldn't speak. After a while, her face turned red, and she opened her mouth, trying to breathe in the oxygen in the air.
Her small hand instinctively slapped away Qiu Qiyi's hand that was gripping her neck, trying to make him let go.
Just as Lin Yuxin's consciousness was becoming hazy, and she thought she was about to be strangled to death by this madman, Qiu Qiyi suddenly released her grip, and a cold voice rang out:
"Don't think that just because you're Li Xiaochen's woman, I won't dare to touch you. Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand. If I hadn't left you with some usefulness, do you think I would still let you jump around in front of me?"
After Qiu Qiyi finished speaking, he took a step back, as if Lin Yuxin had a contagious disease and he was disgusted with her. He even wiped the hand that had just pinched Lin Yuxin.
Without support, and still feeling dizzy from the oxygen deprivation from being choked, Lin Yuxin collapsed to the ground as Qiu Qiyi suddenly released her, coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough cough cough...!"
He was coughing so badly that tears streamed down his face, as if he were coughing up his lungs.
After her cough finally stopped, Lin Yuxin felt a little better. It took her a while to calm down before she slowly stood up and wiped away her tears and cold sweat.
She almost strangled him to death, so she decided that she would take a big revenge.
She looked at the sinister-looking man in front of her, then suddenly smiled and said:
"I never expected that the new emperor of Zhao would treat his guests in such a way. It's truly impressive!"
Lin Yuxin's nonchalant attitude surprised Qiu Qiyi, who glanced at her a few more times. This woman had almost died just now, yet she didn't cry, make a fuss, or show any fear? She could even calmly mock him like that; she had quite the nerve!
However, Qiu Qiyi still snorted coldly and spoke disdainfully:
"Guest? Hmph! You are not my guest. You are just a pawn that I have captured to threaten Li Xiaochen."
"Really? Then I'll wait and see who threatens whom!"
Lin Yuxin ignored Qiu Qiyi's tone, calmly sat down, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it.
She had been choked so badly that her voice was severely hoarse. If she didn't drink some water, she was afraid she would feel even worse tomorrow. Since this madman was here, she couldn't take out the fairy dew to drink, so she could only drink some water to soothe the discomfort in her throat.
Qiu Qiyi watched her movements, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. This woman was actually not afraid?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. In his mind, women were the most useless, the most despicable, and the most insidious creatures in the world.
His useless mother was, and so were all the women in his harem—they were all despicable.
He looked at the woman calmly drinking tea across from him with utter disgust, his eyes fixed sharply on Lin Yuxin as if he would shatter her to pieces at any moment.
Lin Yuxin felt a chill run down her spine as Qiu Qiyi stared intently at her. Although she remained outwardly calm and composed, only she knew how terrified she was inside.
This guy is a lunatic. She almost died at his hands just now, and she was really afraid that this bastard would go crazy and kill her first.
Being stared at so intently by him made her feel like she was being watched by a venomous snake, sending chills down her spine.
Lin Yuxin secretly pinched her thigh to bolster her courage, then slowly raised her head to look directly at Qiu Qiyi, and said sarcastically:
"Why is Your Majesty looking at me like that? Has Your Majesty never seen a woman before?"
"Heh! Li Xiaochen's woman is indeed sharp-tongued. I just want to see how bold you are. Guards!"
Qiu Qiyi suddenly chuckled strangely and then called out to the outside.
A eunuch walked in and bowed to the emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Go find two men to serve our Regent's Wife well!"
Qiu Qiyi looked at Lin Yuxin and suddenly gave an excited order.
"yes!"
The eunuch bowed and withdrew.
Upon hearing Qiu Qiyi's words, Lin Yuxin cursed him under her breath as a pervert; she needed to find a way to escape.
So she stood up, walked slowly to Qiu Qiyi, smiled, and spoke in a charming tone:
"Is Your Majesty trying to find a man for me? Aren't you already a ready-made one! Or does Your Majesty think you're not good enough?"
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she raised her hand and touched Qiu Jingfan's face, then slowly moved it down to his chest. After speaking, she didn't forget to wink at Qiu Qiyi.
Qiu Qiyi frowned when Lin Yuxin touched him, but he didn't push her away. Thinking of Li Xiaochen, that powerful man, after hearing Lin Yuxin's words, he felt that if he slept with Li Xiaochen's woman, wouldn't that put him in a superior position?
He had heard that Li Xiaochen really cherished this woman. If he were to make a move on her, wouldn't Li Xiaochen be furious?
So Qiu Qiyi raised his hand and pulled Lin Yuxin into his arms, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and whispered:
"Oh? Since the Regent's Consort likes me? Then let me taste her flavor!"
"Hehe! Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Even if I, the Princess Consort, wanted to serve Your Majesty now, Your Majesty would need to have the ability, wouldn't you?"
Lin Yuxin tried to ignore the disgusting hand on her waist, looked at Qiu Qiyi's face, raised her hand and gently patted Qiu Jingfan's face, then smiled seductively and said.
"I'll show you whether I have the ability or not!"
As Qiu Qiyi spoke, he tried to pick up Lin Yuxin, but his arms and legs suddenly went weak, and he fell to the ground! Let alone picking her up, he even had difficulty standing up!
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Lin Yuxin's eyes flickered slightly. She took a step back and looked at him with a haughty air, asking curiously.
Qiu Qiyi didn't answer. He frowned and tried to stand up, but failed several times. What did he realize? He suddenly looked up at Lin Yuxin in front of him and questioned her sharply:
Did you do this?
