Chapter 232 Do You Think I’m Too Cruel?
rebel?
Xu Yanyi frowned and her eyes fell on the matching jewellery.
She checked the exquisite jewellery one by one, and frowned when she picked up the pearl chain. At first glance, the pearls all looked the same, but through the candlelight in the room, she seemed to be able to vaguely see very small words inside the pearls.
Xu Yanyi threw the string of pearls into the powder box, rolled it around, and then blew away the bright red powder. Sure enough, very small words appeared on it.
"When autumn comes on September 8, my flower will bloom and all other flowers will die. The fragrance will spread all over Bianjing, and the whole city will be covered with golden armor."
Xu Yanyi read out the tiny words carefully.
Good guys!
This anti-poetry is so obviously anti-heroic, it's simply too straightforward!
Xu Yanyi looked at all the pearls carefully, and only the middle one had these words engraved inside. Most people would use fire to illuminate the inside of a pearl necklace, and even if they could vaguely see traces of something, they would not specially use powder to dye it.
"You really want to kill me."
Xu Yanyi sneered, took off the pearl engraved with the poem and hid it in her sleeve.
Knock knock knock.
The maid in green knocked on the door and said, "Princess Nanling, are you ready to change? Do you want me to come in and help you?"
"Come in and help me."
Xu Yanyi spoke.
The maid in green pushed the door open and came in. She saw that Xu Yanyi had not changed her clothes at all. When she was about to speak, Xu Yanyi grabbed her neck and pressed her on the table with a thud. Master Yue outside was startled and ran in quickly to close the door to prevent the news from leaking out.
"Nan, Princess Nanling, what are you doing..."
The maid in green was startled. Xu Yanyi pinched her so hard that she could hardly breathe. Moreover, she felt that Xu Yanyi was now full of cold aura, which was very scary.
Xu Yanyi's hand around her neck tightened a little bit, her eyes cold: "Did Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang ask you to harm this princess?"
The maidservant in green shuddered: "Princess Nanling, I... I don't know what you mean... um..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Yanyi covered her mouth with his other hand, and the hand that was holding her neck moved, tearing off her right arm with a click.
The green-clothed maid struggled in pain, but she couldn't move at all, and couldn't even scream. This feeling was too terrible.
Even Master Yue who was standing next to them was surprised by Xu Yanyi's ruthlessness.
Xu Yanyi sneered and said grimly: "I don't want to make things difficult for you, but you keep pressing me and won't leave me any chance to live. You want to destroy my innocence and my life. How can I let you go? Do you want to live?"
The maid in green nodded fearfully.
Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes and said, "If it hurts, just bear it. If you dare to scream, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
The maid in green nodded again.
Xu Yanyi loosened her grip, and the maid in green slipped off the table and fell to the ground. She couldn't even lift her arms, and she was sweating profusely from the pain: "Princess, this servant..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just answer whatever I ask you. If your answer does not satisfy me, I will kill you."
Xu Yanyi's voice was extremely cold.
The maid in green didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise her life would be in danger.
"Tell me what Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang are going to do. You only have one chance. If you dare to lie, I will kill you!"
Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows.
The maid in green was already frightened by Xu Yanyi, and now she didn't care about anything else, and blurted out: "The eldest lady and the madam told me to...find a chance for you and Master Yue to have their affair discovered by everyone, and the madam gave me a kind of incense.
As long as it is lit and inhaled, it can arouse sexual desire. When I came in, I wanted to secretly light that kind of incense while I was changing your clothes, but you let me out before I could do it... Now that you let me in, I want to do this..."
As she spoke, the maid in green pointed with her good arm to a cabinet in the corner of the room. Xu Yanyi went over, opened it, and found that there was indeed an inconspicuous incense burner there.
The maid in green said tremblingly: "When the incense is lit, you will faint. I have already taken the antidote, so nothing will happen. I will go out and call the young master in right away, and then everything will be done smoothly..."
"Your method is quite roundabout."
Xu Yanyi sneered sarcastically, "Was this idea Mu Liufang came up with?"
"Yes...Please spare my life, Princess. I have no choice..."
The maid in green cried softly.
Xu Yanyi's eyes were slightly cold: "What about the slander that I was going to rebel? Was this bead also made by Mu Liufang?"
The maidservant in green had never thought that Xu Yanyi could find such a hidden pillar. She was so scared that she said, "I don't know much about this. It was all arranged by Madam. An assassin will appear at the banquet and then be caught. The assassin will say that he is here to assassinate the prince. As long as the prince is killed, there will be no one left in Bei Qin. He will also admit that he received instructions from you, Princess."
"Where did the assassin come from?"
Xu Yanyi asked suddenly.
The maid in green did not dare to hide it: "It was a beggar I found on the street at a high price. Madam guarantees that he will not die. All you have to do is blame it all on you."
Good guys!
How cruel!
The maid in green said cautiously: "Princess, I have told you everything I know. Please spare me. I really don't want to die..."
Xu Yanyi's hand fell and hit the green-clothed maid on the back of the neck. The green-clothed maid's eyes rolled back and became dizzy. Xu Yanyi squatted down and picked up her dislocated arm. Master Yue only heard another click and knew that the green-clothed maid's arm was reconnected.
I didn't expect she had such a skill?
Master Yue just felt that Xu Yanyi in front of him was becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.
Xu Yanyi looked at him and said, "My benefactor, do you think I am too cruel?"
Master Yue was stunned and shook his head: "No, if they want to deal with you, you can't be too kind. I admire your approach, but you are indeed very different from before. You used to be absolutely..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yanyi quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth with her hand, then moved her eyes to point outside.
There are footsteps.
Someone is coming.
Master Yue's head buzzed. He didn't feel what was happening outside. He only felt that Xu Yanyi's hand covering his mouth was very warm and very... comfortable.
Knock knock knock.
"Baojuan, did you succeed?"
Someone outside asked.
Xu Yanyi was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, it was the green-clad maid's voice, exactly the same: "Madam has told you to bring the assassin here."
Master Yue couldn't help but hold Xu Yanyi tightly.
The man outside was startled: "Isn't there a man in there? Why..."
