Chapter 569: Eliminate the Poison King
Chu Jiuqing looked at Zi You who was not far away with murderous eyes, "Your death is coming. If you have any last words, I can tell Chu Jinxuan for you."
Ziyou held her stomach tightly with both hands, her whole body twitching violently, and black blood gurgled out of her mouth.
No matter how she struggled, she still didn't know what the poison was. Shrouded in the shadow of death, her face was filled with fear.
"Prince Ning, please spare my life. I, I don't want to die. I haven't lived enough. If you can spare me, I will follow Your Highness until death."
Chu Jiuqing remained unmoved and raised his sword to chop at Ziyou.
Zi You's face was pale, and he used up the last bit of his strength to avoid Chu Jiuqing's attack.
Then he crawled to Chen Qingqing's feet, kowtowed and begged,
"Miss Chen, please spare my life. Ziyou knows I was wrong. It was my fault that I was blind. I shouldn't have helped the evil and opposed you. Now I know that there is always someone stronger than the strong. Please give me the antidote. If you can spare my life, I will be willing to be your disciple and follow your lead."
Chen Qingqing saw Ziyou's miserable state and felt no pity for her.
If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will eventually become a disaster.
Being kind to your enemies is the greatest cruelty to yourself.
Her eyes were cold. "Ziyou, medicine and poison are related. Since you know poison, you must be good at medicine too. Medicine is meant to save lives, but in your hands it has become a tool for killing. You have committed many evil deeds, and this is your fate. No one can save you."
"No, Miss Chen, please spare my life. I will never do evil again. As long as you don't let me die, I promise to change my ways. Please give me an antidote... I am willing to work like a slave to repay you."
Chen Qingqing shook her head gently. "The water of death—vanquat—has no cure."
"What? There's no cure!" Zi You's eyes widened in horror, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, it's impossible. Everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive, so there can't be no antidote. I don't want to die. Please, Miss Chen, spare me this time!"
Chen Qingqing said coldly, "I can't do anything about it. Just wait to die!"
"This kind of monster deserves to be cut into pieces. Let me send her off!" Zhuyue held the sword and slashed it down.
Ziyou was about to say something when she felt a chill on her neck and the corpse fell to the ground.
Zhuifeng was stunned. "Zhuyue, you are so reckless. Why did you kill her?"
"Why keep her if not kill her? Do you still want to spend your whole life with her?" Zhuyue joked with a smile.
Zhuifeng rolled his eyes. "What a scoundrel! This devil is so evil! I just wanted to see her tortured to death. That would make me feel better. But you killed her with a single knife. Now we have no more trouble. There's no fun to watch."
"Alright, this is the Western Region Poison King, full of tricks. If she is just acting or trying to detoxify herself, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Yes, Zhuyue, you're right. This person is extremely vicious. If she finds a way to detoxify us, it would be like leaving us with a disaster. We have to cut the Gordian knot quickly." Zhuifeng said, looking at Ziyou's body and sighing, "I never thought that the arrogant Western Region Poison King was killed by poison. I don't think anyone would believe it if I told them."
Chu Jiuqing took over the conversation, "This is the case of those who do too much evil will eventually perish. Although Ziyou has been eliminated, we still cannot let our guard down and must leave here as soon as possible."
No one dared to delay and walked out of the dense forest under the moonlight.
Chu Jiuqing knew that Chen Qingqing was exhausted, so he found a relatively sheltered place on the side of the road to rest for a while.
Chen Qingqing sat down against a big rock, exhausted. After tossing and turning for most of the night, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Zhuifeng and Zhuyue took turns on duty, vigilantly observing the movements around them.
A ray of early morning sunlight gently fell on Chen Qingqing's face. She woke up slowly and stretched comfortably.
Chu Jiuqing had also woken up long ago and found his horse along the official road.
After a quick bite, they continued on their way.
Prince's Mansion.
A black carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill. Chu Jinxuan's personal bodyguard Shen Yue heard the noise, walked over slowly, grabbed the pigeon, and took off the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet.
Without time to check, he hurried towards Chu Jinxuan's residence.
At this moment, Chu Jinxuan was half-leaning among a group of women with his upper body exposed.
One of the women, dressed in gauze, was putting a peeled grape into Chu Jinxuan's mouth.
"Little devil, I must eat you." Chu Jinxuan smiled lewdly as he hugged the woman, held her lips in his mouth, and bit them hard. The grape juice flowed down their chins and onto their necks...
Shen Yue pushed the door open and walked in. "Your Highness, the secret guards sent a letter saying that Zi You must have succeeded."
Chu Jinxuan pushed the woman in his arms away with all his strength, his narrow eyes raised, and a devilish smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Chu Jiuqing, you are still a little naive if you want to fight me."
Shen Yue respectfully opened the bamboo tube and handed the note inside to Chu Jinxuan, "Your Highness, please check to see if Ziyou and Prince Ning have been dealt with together."
Chu Jinxuan took the note and just glanced at it, his face changed drastically, "Waste, a bunch of waste, you can't even handle a woman, what's the point of me supporting you!"
"Your Highness, what exactly happened? Did Ziyou fail?"
"She's dead. She died of poisoning." There was no emotion in Chu Jinxuan's voice.
Shen Yue frowned, a trace of uneasiness flashing through her heart, "Could it be that there is a master with Chu Jiuqing who can poison Ziyou to death? That's impossible. Ziyou is the most powerful poison master in the entire continent. No one can hurt her."
"The person is already dead, what else is impossible?" Chu Jinxuan lost his leisurely and elegant demeanor. He glared at the dozen or so dancers and shouted angrily, "Get out, all of you, get out..."
The dancers retreated trembling with fear on their faces.
Chu Jinxuan's face was filled with gloom. Chu Jiuqing was truly his nemesis.
On the battlefield, he was invincible, making the enemy tremble in fear. He was deeply trusted and valued by the King of Chu, and was suppressed in every aspect of the court.
He hated this half-brother to death. If it weren't for him, how could the King of Chu be dissatisfied with him?
He repeatedly expressed his intention to dethrone him as the crown prince.
All this is due to Chu Jiuqing's love of showing off...
If you want to fight him, he has been the crown prince for so many years, and there are many people in both the black and white worlds who protect him.
As long as he doesn't want Chu Jiuqing to come back alive, he must die.
Chu Jinxuan pressed his brows hard and said viciously, "Chen Yue, give the order to mobilize all forces to intercept my good brother. I don't want to see Chu Jiuqing return to Kyoto alive."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Yue turned and walked out...
