Chapter 61 Obscurity
Xie Qingran remained silent throughout, simply sitting quietly in her seat, as if the argument had nothing to do with her.
She knew that Xie Hanyue would never let this go, so she definitely needed to be extra careful. After all, this woman was capable of anything when she was being despicable.
Xie Hanyue's eyes were filled with resentment, but she still brought over her wine cup and sneered at Xie Qingran: "Sister, you have quite the methods. Are you satisfied now that you see me so humiliated in the capital?"
"I don't understand what my sister is saying."
"However, the Prime Minister's residence is not like home, so please be mindful of your conduct, sister."
Xie Qingran remained calm, picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and on the surface, there really wasn't a single fault to be found.
The more she acted this way, the uglier Xie Hanyue's face became. She watched as Xie Qingran downed the wine in her glass, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, but she still sneered: "Sister, I really hope you can always have such smooth sailing."
After speaking, Xie Hanyue got up and walked to the other side.
Such banquets are mostly just about eating, drinking, and chatting. Xie Qingran didn't have many friends in the capital and didn't want to have much contact with others, so she got up alone and silently walked towards the garden at the back.
When Xie Qingran first entered, she thought the furnishings inside and outside the Prime Minister's residence were really beautiful, so now she wanted to take a closer look.
Xie Qingran walked to the back garden and discovered a special pavilion. She immediately went over and began to study it.
"This pavilion was built by craftsmen from the previous dynasty. Do you like it?"
Xiao Jue's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xie Qingran so much that she almost fell over.
She finally managed to steady herself and then said, "Does the young master really like hiding behind others?"
"I'm afraid my current appearance will frighten others, so I won't go to the front." Xiao Jue smiled faintly at Xie Qingran: "And you, you're quite pretty too, why are you hiding here as well?"
Xie Qingran immediately stepped forward, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Xiao Jue: "Does Your Highness really think I'm pretty?"
Well……
Xiao Jue never expected that Xie Qingran cared about this.
His face inexplicably turned red: "Don't get so close to me."
Xie Qingran had been with many men in her previous life, so she naturally understood what was going on with Xiao Jue.
She smiled, then leaned closer and gently touched Xiao Jue's cheek, saying softly, "Actually, in my heart, you are very handsome too."
nice?
Xiao Jue was indeed praised for his good looks in the past, but now, no one would say that anymore.
He glanced at Xie Qingran and frowned slightly: "Why are your hands so hot? And your face is red too?"
"I……"
"I... I think I've been infected."
Xie Qingran realized at this moment that something was wrong with her.
It seems Xie Hanyue has really gone mad. This time, she only drugged her and didn't have any further plans. She just went with whoever she met. It's utterly despicable!
Before Xiao Jue could understand what Xie Qingran meant, Xie Qingran immediately pulled out the hairpin from her head and plunged it into her thigh. Blood gushed out instantly, and the intense pain brought her to a moment of clarity.
"This is the moment when the potent medicine is tender and lingering!"
"Your Highness, save me!"
Xie Qingran slumped to the ground, her hairpin twirling on her lap. She bit her lower lip, looking at Xiao Jue with a pitiful expression.
The medicine worked extremely quickly, spreading throughout her body. Xie Qingran, who was originally fair-skinned, blushed slowly on her face after being stimulated by the medicine, looking as tempting as a ripe peach.
Xiao Jue's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his throat bobbed, but he dared not step forward.
How can I help you?
Xie Qingran's rationality gradually faded, but her hand gripped the hairpin tightly, repeatedly digging it into her thigh: "Beg Sister-in-law Qin, beg Sister-in-law Qin!"
"Redwood, go find your sister-in-law!"
"Keep your voice down."
Xiao Jue immediately understood and hurriedly gave the instructions.
"Xie Qingran, are you...are you alright?"
"So much blood? You?"
Xiao Jue's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he bent down to tug at Xie Qingran's sleeve, but Xie Qingran shook him off.
"Don't touch me, Your Highness, please don't touch me!"
“If you touch me, I will lose control. We must not do anything shameful at this moment.”
"Your Highness, please, stay away from me."
The heat radiating from Xie Qingran's body intensified with each passing moment, to the point that she could no longer feel the pain in her legs.
She gripped the hairpin tightly in her hand, but she couldn't resist the heat radiating from her body.
In utter desperation, she could only bite her lip hard, blood oozing from her lips and teeth, looking utterly wretched.
Her clothes were torn to shreds by Xie Qingran, and she curled up on the ground, enduring the heat surging through her body.
In her previous life, they had also given her such potent drugs, just to see her in a despicable state and make her beg for mercy.
No one knows the taste of this medicine better than Xie Qingran.
Xie Qingran, tears welling in her eyes and gasping for breath, stared at Xiao Jue and pleaded, "Please...please..."
Xiao Jue had never seen a woman like this before. Now, watching Xie Qingran struggle like this in front of him, he felt his mouth go dry, and a certain place that had been dormant for thousands of years was slowly awakening.
He was afraid that Xie Qingran would discover his disheveled state, so he hurriedly turned his back and dared not look anymore.
Just then, Qin finally arrived late. She was startled by what she saw, but she didn't make a sound. She simply helped Xie Qingran up and walked towards the room not far away next door.
Upon entering the room, Qin was terrified and paced around in circles: "Why are you so hot? What should I do? What should I do now?"
Xie Qingran looked around and found a large fish tank in the room. She immediately forced herself to climb over with the last bit of her sanity and climbed into the fish tank. The icy water instantly submerged her head, and the blood on her thighs spread instantly, turning the entire fish tank a pale pink color.
"quick!"
"Summon the imperial physician, but do not disturb anyone else. Please invite the Prime Minister's wife over!"
Upon seeing this situation, Madam Qin knew that she couldn't solve the problem herself. Seeking help from the Prime Minister's wife was the best solution, since this was the Prime Minister's residence.
Xiao Jue stood guard at the door, and sure enough, after a while, he saw Xie Hanyue leading a large group of people walking over, chattering away in a way that was quite annoying.
"Young Master Xiao...?"
Xie Hanyue was startled when she saw Xiao Jue and quickly stopped in her tracks, not daring to take a step forward.
She glanced behind Xiao Jue and asked in a trembling voice, "Has Your Highness ever met my eldest sister?"
