Chu Yingxue was a little nervous.

What did Chu Yizhao come to see her for...

The person being missed leaned against the gray wall of the alley and rubbed his nose. "Can't get in?"

A shadow appeared from the depths of the alley. "Poisonous insects are everywhere, making it difficult to enter."

The Yuwen Mansion is an iron wall, and its guards are not humans, but poisonous insects lined up in three steps.

Chu Yizhao looked towards the side door with a calm expression, "Then wait for him to come out."

The owner of the afterimage is a man with a deep voice named Yue Qun. He has no nationality and is a secret slave in the Prince of Yue's Palace.

"There is no cure for the poisonous insect. You are wasting your time here. It is better to go back and solve Lord Lu Lin's suffering as soon as possible."

Yuwen Feng's injury was caused by him and Lu Lin. Lu Lin looked like a gentleman, but he was the most ruthless. He broke the man's hands and feet and threw him into a dry well several miles away, with murderous intentions.

"Master Lu Lin, how can he survive if he falls into his hands?"

Chu Yizhao frowned, "Since you've decided to kill him, why not do it cleanly?"

This was an extremely strange thing to do. If she and Wei Xingli had just met by chance, Wei Xingli would not have had to offend the concubine's nephew for her. But he did it anyway, torturing her in every way and leaving her with future troubles. This was not like his style.

The Yue group was silent.

It felt really weird to see a thin and weak girl staring with innocent eyes in the dark and asking why the murder was not done cleanly.

"I don't know."

Chu Yizhao raised his eyelids and glanced at him. If you don’t share the same beliefs, it will be difficult to use the product.

She folded her arms and leaned against the dry, dusty stone wall, then turned her gaze back to the outside of the alley.

The silent alley is especially quiet.

The noisy sound from the Guangxin Marquis Mansion came from afar, and after the sound of wind and birds singing, it became a vague and chaotic mess when it reached my ears.

The high-rise walls built with dust have inadvertently developed cracks and are about to collapse.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared in his vision, and Chu Yizhao said calmly, "Take it away."

The uneasy woman in pink was covered by a sack as soon as she walked out of the side door. Just as she was about to call for help, a fishy-sweet pill was stuffed into her open mouth.

The pill was large and stuck in her throat, unable to move up or down. She tried hard to swallow the foreign object in her throat and missed the opportunity to call for help.

When her eyes were bright again, a fierce palm wind came at her head. "Pah!" The crisp sound was accompanied by pain. Chu Yingxue cried out in fear, "I am the wife of Prince Qi, please...ah——"

"Snapped!"

A few more strong slaps made her see stars, her cheeks burned with pain, and the smell of blood instantly filled her mouth.

After a few slaps, Chu Yingxue wisely shut up and dared not say another word.

She looked at the man in front of her in horror and asked tremblingly, "Where is Chu Yizhao...?"

Yuwen Feng said Chu Yizhao would come to see her.

A chuckle sounded from behind him, "Smart."

Chu Yingxue's back stiffened. Without any defense, a sharp pain suddenly exploded, and she screamed, "Ah!"

The sharp and slippery silver needle penetrated into the back of her snow-white neck. A shivering and sore feeling ran up her spine, like a rolling flood breaking through a river gate, destroying Chu Yingxue's sanity.

She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, her body twitching involuntarily.

Chu Yizhao squatted down, "The situation is urgent. Sorry, I'll ask Lu Lin for an antidote. As long as you obey, I won't torture you anymore."

The cold voice sounded deep and ethereal in the empty house.

Chu Yingxue was like a rooster with its neck tied tightly, breathing in a hoarse voice, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

Her head felt like it was about to explode from the pain, but she still instinctively annoyed Chu Yizhao.

"No... there is no antidote..."

"If it's a poison, there's an antidote."

Chu Yizhao was very firm and explained attentively,

"Using poisonous insects to guard the mansion, if they were all fed flesh and blood, the Yuwen Mansion would have been a river of blood long ago. Therefore, the feed must be supplemented with herbs, but the poisonous insects raised have no spirituality and are reckless and dull."

She added, "Like you."

Then, he patted Chu Yingxue's bulging belly as if teasing a small animal.

"So, tell me, what kind of medicine does Yuwen Feng usually feed those Gu-killing ones? Qicao? White Tongue? Or Moon Spirit Flower?"

Chu Yingxue was in so much pain and so angry that she was half dead.

"I don't know... I don't know! You are the fool. If you have the guts, kill me..."

She wouldn't talk about the pain, and she wouldn't talk about death. Her greatest pleasure was to make Chu Yizhao unhappy.

Chu Yizhao seemed to understand her look and smiled gently.

She is extremely beautiful, with delicate phoenix eyes. She is usually calm and composed, and too cold.

At this time, the dust mixed with a faint smell of blood was like a pearl whisk, and her eyes were filled with spring water and flowing longing.

She said, "Okay, you have guts."

Standing up, the dark cloak brushed across Chu Yingxue's arm, the cold touch made her shudder slightly.

The next moment, she heard Chu Yizhao's voice.

"Pry open her mouth, don't worry about the fetus, if she dies, throw her out of the city to feed the dogs."

Chu Yingxue's heart trembled. Before she could ask the question, a chill hit her bulging belly.

The man holding the steel knife lifted up her clothes in front of her belly. She stared with horror, "What are you doing..."

The steel knife slightly cut open the snow-white belly skin, and the man grinned, "Carving."

“You…Ahhh——!”

The oil lamp flickered, the cold air poured down, the door opened and closed, Lu Rui held a ball of things in front of Chu Yizhao, "Throw it away, I'll pick it up and save Lu Lin."

Chu Yizhao's eyes flickered over and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

"back door."

The back door of Yuwen Mansion.

Among a pile of rags, there was a pair of men's underwear. She glanced at it and wondered why someone would pick up someone else's used underwear.

"Don't pick up this kind of dirty stuff in the future."

Lu Rui was confused, "Dirty?"

"Yeah, it's dirty." Chu Yizhao pointed to a few dark yellow stains on his white pants. "This is pus, it's fart..."

Her eyes narrowed, this pus stain...

"Confess." A deep voice interrupted her thoughts.

Yue Qun held up a sharp knife with blood on it, "She said it was a white tongue."

Chu Yizhao's fingertips hooked up the panties and said calmly, "Go tell her and let her try the medicine later."

Yue Qun understood, turned around and left. When he came back, there was more blood on the blade, and he gave a completely different answer, "Moon Spirit Flower."

Chu Yizhao sneered in a low voice.

She knew it.

"Let's go and take a look at Yuwen Mansion."

An arm stopped her, and Yue Qun said, "Forgive me for reminding you, but His Highness has ordered that you can only stand three feet away from the Yuwen Mansion."

Chu Yizhao frowned slightly, and Lu Rui quickly pushed him away, his cheeks puffed up, "Get out!"

Yue Qun was stunned when he was pushed. The knife in his hand swayed twice, and blood dripped onto the ground. "Why did you push me, sir?"

"Boring you."

Lu Rui wanted to push again, but was stopped by Chu Yizhao.

Lu Rui suffers from dementia, but he has a strong sense of perception. He realizes that Yue Qun does not have much respect for her, so he refuses to let him get close.

But she doesn't need to.

This person was just a stranger to her, and she was not so self-indulgent as to ask all of Wei Xingli's subordinates to recognize her as their leader.

How can you beg for food and then grab the pot?

Chu Yizhao's voice was flat as he said to Yue Qun, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

"Go and get some fire. I need it."

Yue Qun was a little embarrassed, "You can't go forward..."

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Lu Rui picked up the scabbard and hit him, "Go!"

"Oh, Master Lu, I...Okay, go, go, I'll take you there."

Lu Rui held the sword, and Yue Qun was afraid that the man would hit him again, so he covered his head and ran away.

Chu Yizhao smiled and pinched Lu Rui's cheek, "Very good."

This child is good in every way.

He is handsome and obedient.

The unfamiliar intimacy made Lu Rui stunned in place. An unknown heat rushed to his cheeks. His handsome face was white with a hint of pink. He was young, ignorant and shy, just like a green peach.

After half a stick of incense.

Several ghostly shadows, holding torches, flashed outside the courtyard wall and threw them at the top of the wall. More than a dozen torches quickly crossed the night sky, like flaming lions, scrambling to bite the rubble, doors and windows, trees and dead grass.

Thick smoke and fire rose from the courtyard, illuminating everything around.
