Lin Yuxin threw the things the jailer had given her into her spatial storage. After thinking for a moment, she took some fish blood from her storage and smeared it on her body.
Once everything was ready, she lay down on the straw mat, looking very weak and as if she were about to die.
And I gave the mice a break, telling them to come back later.
Lin Yuxin closed her eyes to rest, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
When she woke up again, she felt a pain in her throat, followed by difficulty breathing; she was awakened by the pain.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Qiu Qiyi's gloomy face. Lin Yuxin gasped. Was this man launching a sneak attack?
In that instant, Lin Yuxin felt herself starting to suffocate. Without hesitation, she flipped her hands and instantly pulled out a silver needle, quickly stabbing it into Qiu Qiyi's hand.
Qiu Qiyi felt a sharp pain in his hand and jerked it back. Clutching his stabbed right hand, he took a step back and glared fiercely at Lin Yuxin, saying:
"You vile woman, how dare you harm me?"
Lin Yuxin clutched her neck, taking a while to feel better. She inwardly cursed, "What kind of hobby does this man have? Why does he like to choke people all the time?"
If she hadn't woken up quickly, she almost would have taken her son to meet the King of Hell.
"Your Majesty is really funny. You were the one who came to kill me. I was just protecting myself."
Lin Yuxin hadn't forgotten her injuries, so she was now weak and spoke in a feeble voice.
"Lin Yuxin, I admire your audacity. You're half-dead now, yet you still dare to be so arrogant?"
Qiu Qiyi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, stood up, and looked at Lin Yuxin.
"Isn't the Emperor quite amazing? His health is failing, yet he can still run around everywhere! By the way, do your ministers know that you can't have any more children? If they do, will your throne still be secure?"
Lin Yuxin looked at Qiu Qiyi with a hoarse voice and spoke provocatively.
"You vile woman, I'm going to kill you!!"
When Qiu Qiyi heard Lin Yuxin bring up the issue of his offspring again, he became furious and shouted loudly. He strode forward and slapped Lin Yuxin across the face.
"Smack!"
Seeing that he was truly angry this time, and that his hand was already coming to slap her, Lin Yuxin instinctively tried to dodge. However, due to the difference in strength and speed between men and women, Lin Yuxin was a beat too slow, and Qiu Qiyi's slap still landed on Lin Yuxin's face.
Lin Yuxin was stunned for a long time after being hit, her face swollen up instantly. She pressed her tongue against her slapped cheek, and the pain told her that Qiu Qiyi had not held back this time.
Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Qiu Qiyi, and she sneered as she forced a smile from her aching lips:
"Instead of getting angry at me, why don't you think about how to secure your throne? Do you really think I'd kindly cure your illness? I've poisoned you, and you'll need my antidote every month to alleviate your pain, or you can just wait to die!"
"Even if you kill me now, your body won't be of much use. Don't you feel your head throbbing from time to time? It must be hurting even more now, right?"
Qiu Qiyi clenched his fists, staring at Lin Yuxin with murderous intent. He took a deep breath; his head was indeed starting to hurt again, just as she had said.
These past few days, every time he got angry, it hurt, so he remembered what Lin Yuxin told him: he shouldn't get angry, but this woman has the ability to make people angry.
Ever since he met her, this woman has been trying to provoke him! She just wants to make him angry!!
This woman did it on purpose!!
Even though Qiu Qiyi understood, he was still furious. This woman had been scheming against him since she entered the palace, but he thought he had grasped Li Xiaochen's trump card and had the power to threaten him, so he tolerated this woman at every turn and let her jump around on his bottom line!
"So what if she's poisoned? I think it's worth it to have you buried with me! Guards, take this woman away, I want to interrogate her myself."
Qiu Qiyi looked at Lin Yuxin with a cold gaze, and it took him a long time to speak.
Immediately, two soldiers came up behind her and, without giving Lin Yuxin a chance to resist, grabbed her and dragged her out, directly placing her on the cross outside.
Qiu Qiyi came out and sat opposite Lin Yuxin, looking at her expressionlessly and asking:
"As long as you tell me about your Xia Kingdom's new weapons and your Xia Kingdom's mysterious army, I will release you!"
Lin Yuxin was very uncomfortable being tied up and had been secretly moving her wrists. When she heard Qiu Qiyi's words, she paused, looked up at him, and realized that this man was starting to suspect her!
"What are you talking about? What new weapons? What army? Are you kidding me? If I knew the answer, would you still be able to capture me?"
Lin Yuxin pretended to be clueless and looked at Qiu Qiyi with a blank expression.
"It's no use pretending to be stupid. I will find out. Begin the execution! Just leave him with a breath left. Make sure you get the information I want to know."
This time, Qiu Qiyi was not so easily fooled. He would rather kill the innocent than let one go, so he directly ordered that Lin Yuxin be tortured.
"Qiu Qiyi, if you torture me, you'll regret it!"
Lin Yuxin looked at the soldier holding the whip, and a hint of fear finally appeared on her face, but she forced herself to remain calm and said some harsh words to Qiu Qiyi.
Damn it, is this madman serious? What do we do? She's tied up now; even if she wanted to poison me, she couldn't get rid of me!
She's pregnant; if she were whipped, what would happen?
No, we have to find a way to save ourselves.
She then noticed two jailers in the corner looking nervous, their hands already gripping the hilts of their swords. Lin Yuxin quickly gave them a look, signaling them not to make any rash moves.
Lin Yuxin's mind raced. After thinking for a moment, she decided she couldn't care less about anything else. Just as the soldier was about to whip her, Lin Yuxin's bound hand suddenly produced a scalpel from somewhere.
With a strange gesture, he quickly cut the rope on his wrist.
Then, with a turn, he freed his other hand, thus successfully dodging the first lash.
The soldier only saw Lin Yuxin's movement after the whip had already been lashed out, but it was too late to change direction.
So Lin Yuxin dodged the first lash, and Qiu Qiyi, who was standing to the side, was even more furious. This woman was indeed capable; she could escape right under his nose.
"Seize her for me!"
Qiu Qiyi immediately ordered that Lin Yuxin be captured!
The soldiers behind Qiu Qiyi all surrounded him.
Immediately, the entire prison began the operation to capture Lin Yuxin. Seeing that her hands were free, Lin Yuxin did not dare to delay. She took out a headscarf, covered her face, and then took out a packet of powder and began to frantically sprinkle it.
Several soldiers who were nearby were instantly hit and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Lin Yuxin, you bitch, don't let me catch you, or I'll make you regret it!!"
Seeing this, Qiu Qiyi was terrified. He spoke harshly to Lin Yuxin with a gloomy face, but kept taking several steps back, afraid of getting infected with the poison.
