Qin Yuecheng, a particularly hated prisoner, was in a bad state. Even after Qin Qianluo regained consciousness, the court officials did not let Qin Yuecheng go, continuing to torture her daily. Qin Yuecheng, who previously possessed a captivating charm, was now nothing but a wretched state.
Qin Qianluo looked at Qin Yuecheng lying on the ground and clicked her tongue twice. How pitiful. The jailer leading the way paused when he heard the sound, and secretly glanced at Princess Qingyun. Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on her face, he was relieved.
The jailer brought a chair for Qin Qianluo and placed it in front of the cell so that she could sit more comfortably. After all, Princess Qingyun's injuries had not yet healed, and she had been poisoned. Although the poison had been neutralized, she was still very weak.
Qin Qianluo did not refuse and sat comfortably in the chair, smiling slightly as she looked at Qin Yuecheng in the cell. When the jailer saw that Princess Qingyun was already seated, he knocked on the cell door and woke up the sleeping Qin Yuecheng inside.
Qin Yuecheng was awakened by the sound of knocking on the railing. Thinking that someone had come to torture her again, she lowered her head in terror and backed away, muttering, "I've said everything I need to say, please don't hit me, please don't hit me..."
Qin Qianluo raised an eyebrow at Qin Yuecheng and looked at the jailer. The jailer smiled apologetically, walked to Qin Qianluo's side, and whispered, "Please forgive us, Your Highness. It wasn't us jailers who did it. It was the officials who would come to interrogate her whenever they had time."
Qin Qianlu nodded, showing no intention of questioning. She was just puzzled as to how things had turned out this way, so she looked at the jailer to ask. Although she didn't hate Qin Yuecheng, she also didn't sympathize with her. After all, Qin Yuecheng had taken countless lives and her methods of torture were extremely cruel, so there was nothing to sympathize with.
Huddled in a corner of the cell, Qin Yuecheng did not hear the jailer's words. She was now overwhelmed by great fear and tried to make the Tianxuan Kingdom officials feel sorry for her by showing her panicked appearance. She hoped that someone would take pity on her and secretly rescue her.
Having seen countless people, Qin Qianluo could see through Qin Yuecheng's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer. This Qin Yuecheng was truly delusional.
Qin Qianluo spoke coldly: "Qin Yuecheng."
Qin Yuecheng trembled upon hearing the voice, but found it increasingly familiar. She secretly looked up and saw Qin Qianluo sitting in a chair, dressed in luxurious clothes, lazily looking up at her.
Almost the instant Qin Yuecheng saw Qin Qianluo's face, shock flashed through her mind. There was no way she could still be alive and well. There was definitely no antidote for that poison. How could Qin Qianluo still be sitting there, conscious, watching her make a fool of herself?
Qin Yuecheng lunged at the railing like a madwoman, the chains on her hands and feet clanging. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, her blood-stained hands gripping the railing tightly as she stared in horror at Qin Qianluo, who was smiling.
She roared almost frantically, "Impossible! Qin Qianluo, how could you still be alive! How could you possibly wake up! This can't be real, it can't be real!"
Qin Qianluo smiled upon hearing this. Although her voice was cold, she did not raise her voice. She simply said, "Why can't this princess live? Why can't I wake up? It's just a bit of low-grade poison. It won't take this princess's life."
001 echoed in its mind, "Exactly! It's just a weak poison. I, Luo Bao, am blessed with great fortune. How could I perish because of such a poison? It's laughable. Does this system think I'm dead?"
Hearing 001's arrogant childish voice, the jailer next to him agreed: 001 is right. Princess Qingyun is blessed with good fortune. How could a low-grade poison harm such a beautiful princess?
Qin Yuecheng was completely devastated. The torture she had endured over the past few days hadn't broken her, nor had the insults she received from the prisoners in the next cell after they learned she was a spy from an enemy country. But the fact that Qin Qianluo was unharmed and sitting here perfectly fine made her break down instantly.
Qin Yuecheng stared intently at Qin Qianluo, her eyes bloodshot. Her once pretty face was now contorted with rage: "So what if you're alive? My Emperor has his eye on you. You'll be captured by my Emperor sooner or later. Why would the Emperor of Tianxuan Kingdom wage war against my Xuanyuan Kingdom for you? Qin Qianluo, you'll die sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu raised an eyebrow, not angry at all, but instead replied in a roundabout way: "Oh? So what? I'm in my own country. Do you think Emperor Xuanyuan would dare to extend your influence into my Tianxuan?"
Qin Yuecheng laughed maniacally upon hearing this: "Hahahaha, Qin Qianluo, you are really naive. My Emperor has planted countless spies in Tianxuan Kingdom. You think you can rest easy just because you are only active in the capital? You are dreaming!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm and said, "So what? This princess has guards and bodyguards when she goes out. The Left Prime Minister's residence is not a place where just anyone can enter. Do you think your Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom is so powerful that he can kidnap the princess of Tianxuan Kingdom in the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom?"
Qin Yuecheng's anger flared up: "Qin Qianluo, so what if you are a princess? Our country's secret agent Ling Xue has first-class lightness skills, as does Ling Wei, who is skilled in both medicine and poison, and An Yue, who has unparalleled martial arts skills. They are all in Tianxuan Kingdom now..."
Qin Yuecheng suddenly stopped, belatedly realizing what she had said and regretting that she had let something slip. She almost revealed the location of the spy operation. It was only because Qin Qianluo was so infuriating that she had spoken without thinking.
Qin Qianlu raised an eyebrow: "Where are they now? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Qin Yuecheng said bitterly, "Qin Qianluo, do you think I'm stupid? Anyway, they've already entered Tianxuan Realm and can find a chance to kidnap you back to Xuanyuan at any time. What good is it if you're cured of the poison? You'll only be able to live in constant vigilance and fear from now on, making you feel uneasy and worse than dead every day!"
Qin Qianlu sighed regretfully. She had already checked the name when she first heard it, but found that it was just a code name and the location could not be found at all without the real name. However, she didn't care and could send her own secret guards to investigate.
