Yun Duoduo was genuinely scared at this moment, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Tan Biao is fearless; is she going to fall into his hands tonight?
"Princess, why don't you call me uncle anymore? I really appreciate it!"
[Brother Jinzhi, have you noticed she's missing? Did you see the bracelet? If you find out, will you send someone to look for her?]
Will he come to save her?
Tan Biao reached out and pinched Yun Duoduo's face.
Yun Duoduo dodged his hand and slowly moved closer to the table where the poison was placed.
Tan Biao toyed with Yun Duoduo as if she were a rabbit, turning around whichever way she went.
"I am a princess! How dare you be disrespectful to members of the royal family?!"
Yun Duoduo screamed, hoping that people outside could hear her cries.
But this is a basement, so who could hear her screams?
"Who would know? Nobody will find out." Tan Biao laughed maniacally.
"You dare touch me? Father and Grandmother will not let you get away with this!" Yun Duoduo shouted loudly.
Yun Duoduo kept trying to make conversation to divert his attention, while she kept moving closer to the table.
"That old woman doesn't have many days left to live," Tan Biao said with a nonchalant smile.
That's outrageous!
"Even if you were the current princess, I wouldn't be afraid." Tan Biao's face was completely unconcerned, as if he had experienced too many such things before.
"Since you can't leave here alive today, I might as well tell you a secret."
Tan Biao looked smug, his voice rising and falling, like a madman.
This man is insane. What good would it do him to kill me?
"You must be wondering why I want to kill you, right?"
"I hate it! I want Yun Beiye to taste the pain of losing his loved ones!" Tan Biao's eyes were bloodshot, like a madman.
"I have many secrets! These secrets can only be shared with you, a dying man."
"Do you know? Whenever I want to confide in someone, I take a concubine or buy a courtesan. After hearing so many of my secrets, they naturally can't leave alive!"
"Hahahaha!" Tan Biao laughed like a madman.
[This is utterly depraved; the reason Tan Biao frequently took concubines and bought courtesans was actually this.]
"Of course, those who please me are my people, and even if they die, they cannot be buried outside."
"It is their blessing to be buried in the mansion."
Tan Biao leaned close to Yun Duoduo's ear, "There's a dry well in my manor, filled with beautiful dancers and singers, many of them virgins. Giving them to me wouldn't be a bad deal for them..."
Yun Duoduo shuddered.
Dry well?
No wonder people can disappear into thin air.
Yun Duoduo pretended to be scared and pointed to the human-shaped sculpture in the corner, "Then, what is that witch in the corner?"
"Ah, that's for my mother."
Yun Duoduo looked closely and saw that there was indeed a memorial tablet in front of the witch.
“This memorial tablet was written by me personally. The master said that I am destined to be cursed and that it can help my mother ward off evil spirits.”
Born with an inauspicious fate...
[Having killed so many people and stained his hands with so much blood, he must be cursed!]
“My mother was starved to death. During the mutiny, Yun Beiye could have saved my mother, but he didn’t.”
"If we just attack the city, we can rescue Mother. But he insists we don't have enough soldiers and insists on guarding outside the city gates until the food supplies inside run out and the gates are opened..."
How ridiculous!
“This place has the heaviest yin energy, so this witch naturally collects the lonely souls of young girls to feed her mother…” Tan Biao’s eyes revealed lingering affection and sorrow.
Using fresh human lives to feed the souls of the dead...
What kind of bizarre theories are these?!
Yun Duoduo looked on in disbelief.
This general, who had spent countless hours on the battlefield, risking his life for blood, actually believed such nonsense...
"Why would I tell you all this for no reason?" Tan Biao's expression suddenly changed, and he moved closer to Yun Duoduo again.
"Hmph, that brat Jin Jinzhi, I've disliked him for a long time. He's so young, yet he holds a large army in his hands."
"Even if you die in my manor, he won't get away with it!" Tan Biao laughed maniacally.
"My lord, my lord!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Which ignorant fool doesn't know that I'm handling serious business?"
"Damn it!" Tan Biao cursed as he looked at the doorway.
"My lord, my lord, General Jin has led his men and broken in!"
[Jin Jinzhi! It's Jinzhi's brother who came to save her!]
Before Yun Duoduo could even rejoice, she seized the moment when Tan Biao was in a daze, used all her strength to push aside the guards blocking her way, and strode to the table where the poison was placed, knocking all the poison bottles off the table.
With the crisp sound of the porcelain bottle shattering on the ground, the poisonous powder spread throughout the room.
Tan Biao was furious. He glared at Yun Duoduo with bloodshot eyes.
"You dare to run?!"
But before he could get close, Tan Biao collapsed to the ground with a thud, his big eyes staring in shock and confusion.
Yun Duoduo grinned.
Damn it, you dare touch me?!
[If you wanted to kill me, why didn't you do it sooner!]
Don't they know that villains die from talking too much?
Those inside the room had all fainted from the poison. People outside heard the commotion and rushed in to see what was happening. The guards looked at Yun Duoduo in surprise, pointed at her, and before they could utter a single word, they too collapsed.
