My host is very irritable

She shouldn't have treated these ancients as fools, and shouldn't have treated novels as reality. She shouldn't have done things so high-profile after having the golden finger. She regretted it now. However, looking at the current situation, it was too late for her to regret. She didn't even dare to imagine what was waiting for her.

The old emperor looked at Liu Qingxiang who was just trembling, and became impatient. He waved his hand to signal the people around him: "If you don't tell me, I will torture you."

"Yes, sir." Soon, a man in black came forward, picked up Liu Qingxiang, tied her to a pillar and started whipping her.

Liu Qingxiang had never suffered such torture in her life. The whip whipped her body, making her almost scream in pain, but she couldn't make any sound. She tried hard to call for help, but she could only open her mouth, and the sound was suppressed in her throat.

She couldn't shout, her face turned red from holding her breath, and the veins on her neck were prominent. Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and slid down her cheeks.

About an incense stick of time passed, and the emperor, who was sitting at the door of the secret room, finished reading the information that the secret guard had just sent him.

He looked at Liu Qingxiang, who was beaten and bruised all over and had already fainted, and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Wake her up, I must know her secret."

"As ordered."

Soon, a man in black came up to Liu Qingxiang with a bucket of water and poured it on her head. The feeling of ice water touching the wound was indescribable. Liu Qingxiang woke up in pain.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and her gaze fell on the emperor sitting on the chair. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she was filled with fear.

She was really scared and didn't want to endure the torture any longer. She wanted to tell her secret in exchange for a chance of survival.

The old emperor's personal eunuch looked at Liu Qingxiang's mouth opening and closing. He lowered his head and whispered to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, I see that this woman seems to be unable to speak. Do you want to..."

The old emperor looked up and glanced at the half-dead Liu Qingxiang, and ordered the old eunuch: "Go, find someone who is good at lip reading."

"Yes, sir." The eunuch responded respectfully and then turned around to carry out the old emperor's orders.

Soon, the old eunuch brought a man into the secret room. The man stood in front of Liu Qingxiang, looked at her for a long time, and then shook his head at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch sent the man away, walked quickly to the old emperor, and whispered a few words to him.

"Give her pen, ink, paper and inkstone." The old emperor said impatiently.

"Yes." Someone quickly brought it and placed it in front of Liu Qingxiang.

Liu Qingxiang was put down, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't write a single word. The man in black grabbed her hands, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

The old emperor said sternly: "Take out your things and heal your wounds first."

When Liu Qingxiang heard this, she began to recite in her mind, hoping to summon the familiar items. However, no matter how she called in her mind, the items that were readily available in the past never appeared again.

Liu Qingxiang was really anxious now. She had lost her space, and her life-saving trump card was gone. Under extreme panic and pressure, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Hmph." The old emperor flicked his sleeves and left.

Chen Yuanyi was helped to the couch by the housekeeper, who then asked someone to call a doctor. The housekeeper looked at his master on the couch and sighed, "I don't know if this family has been haunted by evil spirits. There is not a single perfect person in the family. And Miss Liu, she is also... Alas!"

Instead of waiting for the doctor, the housekeeper waited for a group of soldiers. Chen Yuanyi was soon dismissed from office and his property was confiscated.

All the servants in the mansion were bribed. The housekeeper walked away with his belongings on his back, sighing, "That's what he said! The old man in the Chen mansion is being unreasonable and the young man is too arrogant. Sooner or later, something bad will happen. Look! Now the house has been confiscated!"

When Chen Yuanyi came to his senses, he was outside the mansion with his mother and sister. Chen's mother could not accept this sudden change, and she even wanted to rush to the mansion gate.

Chen Yuanyi, who was sick every day and had lost all his strength, turned to the frightened Chen Xiulan and said anxiously, "Quick, stop her."

After hearing this, Chen Xiulan immediately reached out and grabbed Chen's mother tightly to prevent her from doing anything impulsive.

Chen Yuanyi looked up at the luxurious house, and he felt mixed emotions. He noticed that the crowd around him was pointing fingers at them. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart, tried to calm down, and said with difficulty: "Let's go! Let's get out of here quickly."

After saying that, he lowered his head and walked out of the city. Chen Xiulan followed closely behind him, pulling her mother along.

Night falls in the dilapidated temple outside the city.

"Brother, I'm so hungry!" Chen Xiulan stroked her stomach and carefully looked at Chen Yuanyi who was silent with his head down.

Chen Yuanyi asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any money on you?" Chen's mother and Chen Xiulan both shook their heads helplessly.

When Chen Yuanyi saw their expressions, his heart sank to the bottom. He rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Then we can only find something edible to eat first!"

They had just found some wild fruits and had not yet eaten them when a monkey jumped out, snatched the fruits from their hands and disappeared without a trace.

The three of them looked at the few fruits left in their hands and felt helpless.

Over the next few days, no matter what they found, monkeys would jump out and snatch it away.

In just a few days, they were so hungry that they felt dizzy and dizzy. Chen Xiulan lost her child due to hunger and lack of clothes. She felt like a demon had sucked away all her energy.

Chen Yuanyi looked around before asking Chen Xiulan, "Where is your sister Liu? Why haven't I seen her for so many days?"

Chen Xiulan, who was like a ghost, just shook her head mechanically after hearing what her brother said.

"Plop." Someone was thrown to the ground in front of Chen Yuanyi.

Chen Yuanyi was startled at first, then he looked carefully and saw that the person on the ground was a woman, covered in blood.

He immediately pulled aside the hair on the man's face and saw a familiar face. "Liu Qingxiang."

Liu Qingxiang was sobered up by He Yue's fall, and when she saw Chen Yuanyi in front of her, she immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Chen Yuanyi hugged her and asked anxiously: "Xiang'er, where have you been these days? You don't even know how anxious I was looking for you."

Liu Qingxiang opened her mouth and pointed at her own mouth.

Chen Yuanyi exclaimed in surprise: "You, you can't speak either?" Liu Qingxiang nodded.

Chen Yuanyi then asked: "Where did you go during this time?" Liu Qingxiang pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Then how did you get here?" Chen Yuanyi looked at Liu Qingxiang again. Liu Qingxiang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Chen Yuanyi asked Liu Qingxiang softly: "Where is your spiritual liquid? Where is your fairy cave?" Liu Qingxiang began to gesture anxiously.
