Chapter 70 Red Chili Oil
Cheng Wang, who was inside the house, was completely unaware of everything outside. He was now limp and powerless on the bed beside him.
But as soon as he lay down, he discovered that the bed had a mechanism that locked his wrists, ankles, and neck.
"Miracle doctor... what's wrong with you...?"
Xie Hanyu exclaimed in surprise, only to find that she could only make a faint sound in her throat and could not make a sound at all!
Oh no! He's fallen for their trap!
Xie Hanyu struggled desperately, trying to break free from the mechanism that bound her, but the lock seemed to be rooted to the spot and wouldn't budge.
His eyes widened, filled with panic and anger, as he stared intently at Shen Shu standing to the side.
Shen Shu, however, walked slowly to the bedside and removed her mask.
When Xie Hanyu saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face, an indescribable shock welled up in his heart. How could it be Shen Shu?!
That face, with its eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like stars, should have been gentle and charming, but in Xie Hanyu's eyes it was as terrifying as a demon.
He wasn't oblivious; Shen Shu wanted him dead!
OK!
Xie Hanyu's eyes burned with anger. He hadn't even gone to cause trouble for the Shen family yet, but the Shen family had come looking for him first!
That's really great!
He shouldn't have listened to Eunuch Fu; he should have stormed into the Bo Gong Mansion and killed the Shen family members long ago!
Xie Hanyu wanted to roar, but only a weak "hoarse" sound came out of his throat.
Looking at his terrified and angry eyes, Shen Shu curled her lips into a cold smile: "Since Your Highness Prince Cheng trusts my medical skills so much, how can I not treat you properly?"
Shi Feng had already prepared soup outside the door, and hot oil floated on the surface of the red liquid under the candlelight.
When Shen Shu presented the dish to Xie Hanyu, his angry eyes clearly showed a hint of fear.
The wound he was stabbed by Shen Xiao hadn't fully healed yet, and there were still many blisters around it. If that were poured down his throat, he would be in excruciating pain!
Shen Shu seemed oblivious to his fear, slowly bringing the basin closer to his wound, her voice soft yet like a devil's whisper: "Your Highness Prince Cheng, this illness must be treated this way to be effective, please bear with it."
Xie Hanyu's eyes widened, and his body twisted wildly, trying to avoid the soup that was so close at hand, but he was locked in place and his struggle was in vain.
Seeing his appearance, Shen Shu felt a growing sense of pleasure, but her hands kept moving as she poured the liquid from the basin onto his wound.
Xie Hanyu felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his wound, or as if he were being burned by raging fire. The pain made him tremble all over, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his pillow.
Looking at his pained expression, Shen Shu slowly said, "Your Highness Prince Cheng, when you were ruthlessly annihilating the Fang family and humiliating and trampling on those women, did you ever imagine that this day would come?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Xie Hanyu's eyes.
The Fang family...what Fang family!
Suddenly, a person flashed into his mind like a lightning bolt: Fang Lanzhi!
Could it be... that Shen Shu wasn't here to avenge Shen Xiao at all, but rather for Fang Lanzhi?
For that bitch he slept with so much?!
Looking at him like this, Shen Shu's eyes grew even colder: "Everything you did to the Fang family and to those poor, innocent women will now come back to haunt you. This is just the beginning."
"Please accept this, Your Highness."
Xie Hanyu's body was contorted with pain as he tried to kill Shen Shu with his eyes, but to Shen Shu, those eyes were nothing more than a dying struggle.
Shen Shu put the basin aside and took out a sharp knife from the medicine box.
"Next, I will prick the blisters and remove the rotten flesh. This process may be very painful, but you have to endure it in order for your 'illness' to get better."
Xie Hanyu's eyes were filled with fear. He wanted to shake his head and refuse, but his body was locked up and he couldn't move at all.
Shen Shu slowly approached his wound through his clothes with the small knife in her hand, making several small cuts without any particular method.
Xie Hanyu felt a sharp pain, so intense that he almost fainted.
Shen Shu ignored his pain and continued to treat Xie Hanyu. With each treatment, Xie Hanyu would convulse in pain.
He never imagined that he would end up like this, tormented by a woman like this.
"Your Highness, please bear with it. I am treating your illness. If I don't do this, how can your ailment be cured?"
"You...you will die a horrible death..." Xie Hanyu used all his strength to squeeze out these few silent words from his throat.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shu let out a cold laugh.
May they die a horrible death?
She's already dead and deserves to die a horrible death, why would she be afraid of Xie Hanyu's threats?!
The night was long.
Shi Feng only knew that Shen Shu came out at midnight.
Xie Hanyu was given a drug to make him mute, and he couldn't make a sound. Lin Wei also instructed that he must not approach the house without Shen Shu's permission.
Therefore, Shifeng was completely unaware of what was happening inside the house.
"Shi Feng, do not let anyone approach this place for the next few days. Only withdraw the guards after the person has died."
Shi Feng swallowed nervously: "Still...alive?"
Although he didn't know what had happened inside, he had prepared the chili oil and water, and even a fool could tell how much suffering Xie Hanyu would endure.
Even in this state, how can a person still be alive?
Shen Shu's eyes reflected a strange light in the night: "The fastest is one day, the latest is three days."
Shi Feng broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a sense of awe for the first time towards a woman. The person their lord had taken a liking to... was truly extraordinary...
Not daring to delay, they sent Shen Shu back to the palace before dawn.
As soon as Shen Shu left, Lin Wei emerged from the shadows around the corner.
"Shi Mo, go in and take a look, clean up the mess, make sure there's no evidence left behind."
Shi Mo and Shi Feng were guards who came out in the same batch, but one of them worked in the open and the other in the shadows.
Shi Mo immediately went to do it.
When he came out, Shi Mo looked terrible, as if he was trying hard to suppress his nausea.
"Your Highness...is it really true that Miss Shen and Prince Cheng have no grudge against each other?"
If there wasn't some deep-seated hatred, how could someone have been tortured like that! Shi Mo dared not recall that scene.
Lin Wei frowned, his gaze deep: "The later people find out about the Imperial Uncle's disappearance, the better."
Shi Mo nodded hurriedly: "Your subordinate understands, but... given Prince Cheng's current condition, I'm afraid he won't make it through the night."
Lin Wei remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Don't interfere, let him die on his own."
Lin Wei is now quite certain that there is something between Shen Shu and his royal uncle.
Regardless of what it was, the thought of Shen Shu having a entanglement with Xie Hanyu made him feel annoyed, and that feeling of unease kept churning in his heart.
As night deepened, Lin Wei turned and went to the palace.
The two old women who examined Shen Shu back then came to visit.
"Are you sure that Miss Shen was indeed a virgin back then?"
