After Yelü Sui finished administering the medicine to Lady Jian, he had her tied up and her mouth stuffed with a cloth.
"Release her in an hour."
After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
Jane tried to call out to him, but could only make "uh-uh" sounds.
She watched helplessly as Yelü Sui's figure disappeared outside the door, her heart filled with anger and despair.
Yelü Sui treated her like this for a mere lowly woman!
She's his wife!
She is the most esteemed princess of Xilin!
Let alone the life of one young woman from a small tribe, even if it were ten, it would be harmed, and who would dare to say anything against her!
Besides, that little slut seduced Yelü Ang and then tried to seduce him; she's no good at all. Why shouldn't she teach her a lesson?
Yelü Sui actually wanted to kill her.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through her abdomen, as if dozens of knives were simultaneously cutting through her internal organs, causing her to arch her back into a shrimp-like shape.
Not long after, she fainted from the pain.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she awoke from the darkness.
My mind went blank for a moment.
She didn't die?
Isn't that bowl filled with poison?
The joy of surviving the ordeal quickly filled my entire body.
She immediately tried to sit up, but found that her hands and feet were like wood, completely unresponsive.
A wave of fear washed over her.
"Help! Someone come quick!"
The palace servants stood outside the door, but none of them came in, as if they hadn't heard her orders.
She was extremely annoyed.
I had to raise my voice and shout again.
But still no one came in to serve him.
She called out a few more times before suddenly realizing that it wasn't that they were lazy, but that she hadn't made a sound at all.
—Her voice was hoarse.
Now she's like a living dead person, unable to speak or move.
Yelü Sui did not kill her, but he was even more hateful than if he had killed her.
Enraged, Jane coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
Within two days, the news that the Crown Princess was seriously ill and bedridden spread throughout the capital.
After listening to Yi Shuihan's account at the embassy, Xiao Qingyin chuckled and said, "Yelü Sui is quite efficient."
Yi Shuihan said coldly, "You are the apple of his eye, how could he not be eager for revenge?"
Xiao Qingyin squeezed his hand: "Jealous?"
Yi Shuihan remained silent.
"I am the most precious person in his heart, but you are the most precious person in mine."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"He's the one who should be jealous."
Yi Shuihan bent down, demonstrating through his actions that she could only live in the very core of his heart.
Others are not even allowed to have a fleeting thought about it.
...
After the punishment was over, Yi Shuihan put his arm around her and said, "The guns and cannons that Da Xi sent to ransom people have entered Xilin territory. Yelü Ang has ordered me to lead troops to seize them. I need to leave the capital for a while."
Xiao Qingyin's heart tightened.
Are you confident?
"Yes. With inside help from the outside, it's not difficult to solve."
Be careful in everything you do.
"I'll be back as soon as possible," Yi Shuihan instructed. "I've had people keeping an eye on Yelüya; they'll seize the opportunity to strike. You need to be prepared."
"good."
The next day, after seeing Yi Shuihan off, Xiao Qingyin picked up the Xilin storybooks he had collected.
Surprisingly, I discovered that the people here actually quite like non-human beings.
They either portray the female lead as a fox in the deep mountains and forests, or the male lead as a wild beast in the wilderness.
Most of those ferocious beasts were modeled after the totems of the Western Forest Kingdom.
It reminded her of Yelü Sui, and she felt that if he could conjure up a fur coat, he would be no different from the ferocious beasts in these picture books.
She finished reading all the storybooks in just three days.
While she was feeling bored, a guard sent her a message saying that Princess Yeluya of Xilin had taken Bai Musheng hunting. The two of them didn't have many guards with them, so it was a good opportunity to make a move. He asked her if she wanted to take action.
Xiao Qingyin's answer was, of course, "Yes."
Opportunities don't come all the time; you have to seize them when the time is right.
The secret guards received the order and launched the attack that very day.
However, the result was different.
"That shot was meant to hit Yelü Ya, but Bai Musheng rushed over and took it for her. She was unharmed, but Bai Musheng's life was in danger."
The guard reported with a look of shame.
Xiao Qingyin was somewhat surprised.
How could someone as selfish, cowardly, and self-serving as Bai Musheng actually take a bullet for Yelü Ya?
They're even risking their lives; it seems their ambitions are far from small.
However, he has probably miscalculated this time. Those bullets were all coated with poison. If Yeluya hadn't brought him to her, even if he hadn't died from the gunshot, he would have died from the poison.
"It's alright," she reassured the guard. "Bai Musheng deserved to die too. We'll find another opportunity to assassinate Yelü Ya next time."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang came from the embassy gate.
A tall figure appeared in front of Xiao Qingyin, carrying someone in his arms.
It was Yelü Ya and Bai Musheng.
"for you!"
Yelüya threw something at me.
"Save him!"
Xiao Qingyin caught the object thrown to her deftly, and upon opening her palm, she saw that it was the five-eyed dzi bead she had lost.
Her eyes flickered.
It seems that Bai Musheng holds a high position in Yelü Ya's heart, as she even brought out the Heavenly Pearl.
Seeing that she remained silent, Yelüya shouted sternly, "Hurry up! If he dies, I will make you pay with your life! Don't think I don't know you did this."
Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "If the princess hadn't broken her promise, why would I have resorted to such a desperate measure?"
Yelüya's eyes were practically spitting fire.
It was as if he was about to burn Xiao Qingyin to ashes at any moment.
