"If I kill her in secret, I will become the only granddaughter of the Empress Dowager."
A raging fire ignited in Yun Luoxue's heart. "It's all her fault! If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been exiled to the Northern Frontier!"
"Falling Snow, your father has his own plans."
"You must not act rashly; now is not the time to kill her."
“She has her own uses.” Princess Jin pulled Yun Luoxue toward her room.
...
Seeing that the group had gone far away, Yun Duoduo knew that there should be nothing to do today. After eating and drinking her fill, she changed her clothes under the maid's clothes and went to sleep.
The bed in the room was very soft, and the maids knew she was a princess, so they served her extremely well and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Aside from being injured by the exploding incense burner, she, as a hostage, lived a fairly comfortable life.
Get a good night's sleep tonight, be well-rested, and sneak out tomorrow morning.
[I must quickly send a message to my father, the Emperor; I can't let him and my grandmother worry too much.]
She lay on her side in bed, covering herself with the blanket, [Ouch, that hurts!]
Lost in thought, she momentarily forgot about her injuries. Despite the pain, she sat up, reached under the bed for her first-aid kit, and took out painkillers, which she then swallowed.
Then, she slowly lifted her clothes, applied the hemostatic medicine, then applied scar-reducing gel to the wound, and changed her gauze to a clean one.
[This is a special medicine from the first-aid kit, containing snow lotus and centella asiatica. It should scab over by tomorrow.]
Yun Duoduo rubbed her temples, taking advantage of the moonlight streaming in through the window.
Oh, right, I need to take an anti-inflammatory pill.
She got out of bed, picked up a cup, swallowed a pill, and then went back to bed to sleep.
...
The next morning, Yun Luoxue came to find Yun Duoduo with a small square box in her hand.
[My father and mother are both absent today. Since they're hesitating, I'll personally deal with this little wretch today!]
Seeing that their young master looked displeased, the servants in the manor quickly sent someone to inform Prince Jin and his wife.
This morning, when Prince Jin and Princess Jin left, they specifically instructed them to keep an eye on the young mistress and not let her do anything rash.
If this little princess really dies, none of them will be able to live well.
...
Yun Duoduo was standing in the courtyard. She took out the whistle from her pocket and hid in a corner to blow it.
“Hoohoo...hoohoo…”
The sound of the whistle was as pleasant as the song of a lark.
Her brother Jinzhi told her that if she encountered danger, she should blow this whistle, and he would come to her rescue as soon as he heard it.
As she walked along the road, she observed the terrain. The yellow sand was everywhere and poisonous insects were rampant. This must be the vicinity of the Northern Frontier, and her brother Jinzhi should be stationed in this area.
A moment later, another whistle rang out in the silent air, "Whisper...whisper..."
Someone is responding to themselves!
Could it be Sumire's brother?
Yun Duoduo held the whistle in both hands and walked along the base of the wall towards the outside.
Now that we know who's behind this, there's no need for me to stay here.
We need to escape quickly.
As she was walking, Yun Luoxue, who was coming from the opposite direction, blocked her way.
"Yun Duoduo, stop right there!"
【Huh? What's going on?】
Yun Duoduo involuntarily stopped and turned around to look.
"Little sister, it's been a long time. I have a gift for you."
As she spoke, Yun Luoxue took out a small square box made of sandalwood from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
She then poured the poison powder she had prepared onto Yun Duoduo, and in an instant, sprinkled it all over Yun Duoduo's body.
This throat-sealing powder is colorless and odorless, with a slow onset. Within five days, it will cause a person to lose their voice, and within half a month, it will cause them to die from physical exhaustion.
【Cloudy Girl, today is your death day!】
A crazy and triumphant smile appeared in Yun Luoxue's eyes.
What is the current state of the Ninth Princess?
So what if he was granted the title of "Compassionate"?
He's not destined to enjoy it; he'll die at her hands!
As Yun Luoxue leaned against Yun Duoduo, Yun Duoduo saw Yun Luoxue's expression and knew that she must have played some trick.
She brought poison!
It's still throat-sealing powder!
[Hmph, you think you can fool her with such a trick?!]
The throat-sealing powder simply causes congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, which can easily lead to nasal bleeding and vocal cord weakness, causing abnormal contraction of the throat muscles and vasospasm.
Gradually, it causes loss of voice, and eventually, it obstructs venous blood return, affecting the body's hematopoietic function, leading to blood clotting and death.
Child's play!
Yun Duoduo pretended to be weak and fell backward. She was shorter than Yun Luoxue, so it was easy for her to dodge.
Seeing Yun Duoduo's reaction, Yun Luoxue assumed that Yun Duoduo had been poisoned. She smiled and was very pleased with herself. The medicine from Beiliang was indeed effective!
Suddenly, Yun Luoxue found herself holding a sharp knife. She brandished the knife and bent down to stab Yun Duoduo in the face.
"I'm going to ruin your face, you bitch!"
She's going to ruin that innocent, cute, and lovable pretty face!
She can't be allowed to die peacefully like this; she must be made to suffer terribly!
The knife tip was pointed directly at Yun Duoduo's face, just as she was about to get close.
Yun Duoduo turned around, stood on tiptoe, and forcefully grabbed Yun Luoxue's hand that was holding the knife, then cleverly twisted it.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Luoxue let out a scream.
"ah……"
The short knife, originally intended to stab Yun Duoduo's face, instead pierced straight towards Yun Luoxue's face due to her force.
Yun Luoxue's face was immediately scratched.
Instantly, the blade spun, and blood gushed out!
Yun Luoxue suddenly released her grip, covering her bleeding face. The short knife fell to the ground with a crisp "clang".
Everything happened so fast that the servants were worried that the princess might be disfigured or lose her life today.
Unexpectedly, it was Princess Yun Luoxue of Dongping, who had initially been wielding the dagger, who was injured!
A collective sigh rippled through the crowd.
A strong gust of wind blew by, and everyone reached out to shield themselves from the sandstorm.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from, with such a fierce aura?!" Yun Duoduo looked down at Yun Luoxue.
A sharp pain shot through Yun Luoxue's face; the wound was deep.
"Luo Xue, bones...bones!"
The Prince of Jin and his wife had just stepped off the carriage when they witnessed this horrifying scene.
Princess Jin rushed to Yun Luoxue's side in a panic. When she saw Yun Luoxue's face, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face turning deathly pale.
Yun Luoxue's face was so bloody and flesh was exposed, almost revealing individual bones.
Yun Luoxue touched her cheek with trembling hands, staring wide-eyed in horror at the sight of her hands covered in blood.
That damned Yun Duoduo, how dare she scratch her face and ruin her appearance!
"Yun Duoduo, I'm going to kill you!"
Blinded by hatred, she ignored the pain on her face and roared with bloodshot eyes.
She picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, quickly got up, and lunged at Yun Duoduo again.
