Beixuan Kingdom

The 9th day of the 12th month of the 13th year of the Xuan calendar

The cold wind is like a knife piercing the bones

Xinjiang North Defense Camp

Qin Yuechuan, dressed in a black suit, stood in front of the Beixuan map in the main tent, thinking. He seemed to have made an important decision, with his fists clenched and his brows furrowed.

"Your Highness! There is ..." There was a sudden urgent announcement outside the tent. Before the announcement was finished, the man said, "Come in!"

After he finished speaking, he saw a personal guard hurried in, clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"Your Majesty, this is the third letter. This time there is an extra box. I wonder what it contains."

As he spoke, he bowed and handed it over.

What catches your eye is a small mahogany box the size of a palm with exquisite carvings.

Qin Yuechuan took the box, took a deep breath, and looked solemn. His intuition told him that the things inside were definitely not what he expected to see.

He waved his hand to open the box. With a "click", he saw a dark red silk bag in the wooden box. The color was mottled and there was a smell of blood. Qin Yuechuan's heart sank and he quickly opened the bag, revealing the contents inside.

Pupil constriction

It is!

A severed finger!

It is white, delicate and as white as fat, with a small bright red mole that looks like a drop of blood and is particularly eye-catching.

This is the severed finger of his former princess, Xu Mingxi!

After reading the letter at a glance, the fragile letter paper could not withstand the strong grip of his palm and became wrinkled in an instant.

He was filled with rage, and the blood in his body seemed to surge in his chest. The fishy and salty smell in his throat could no longer be suppressed, and it rushed out with a "puff"!

“Your Highness!” The personal guard Qingfeng stepped forward quickly, his eyes full of anxiety. “Don’t be angry. If your Frost Poison attacks again, it will be uncontrollable. Doctor Xue’s antidote will arrive in seven days. Then you…”

"Qingfeng!" Qin Yuechuan raised his hand to interrupt: "Prepare the horses!"

"Your Majesty! Please wait another seven days, no, five days! I will go get the antidote right away, and I will definitely..."

"I can't wait any longer. Qin Zhaolie has forced her to abdicate, and she is imprisoned. The Xu family may not be able to survive. If I don't come back, who will save her?" "Your Majesty, you and her have already divorced. This result is all her own fault. Why are you doing this?"

"Shut up, Qingfeng! She and I have not divorced, and the divorce letter has not been reported. At this moment, she is still my princess!" After a pause, Qin Yuechuan pulled the corners of his lips in self-mockery, closed his eyes, and added:

"Besides, I don't have much time left. I'm afraid that even if the antidote comes, I will...go and call Vice General Lin and others. I will make arrangements before they leave."

Listening to his own prince's almost last words, Qingfeng's eyes turned red and he choked up, unable to speak, but he had no choice but to solemnly clasp his fists and leave.

At Yuguankou and Shilipo, a horse-drawn carriage with a green cloth covering it rumbled forward on the official road.

Inside the carriage, a girl in plain blue cloth covered her lips with a handkerchief and kept coughing.

The little maidservant beside her, dressed in light yellow, handed her a water bag and gently stroked her back.

"Miss, we have been traveling for four consecutive days without finding a post station to lie down and rest. How can your body bear it now? Why don't we go to the next post station to rest for a night before continuing on our journey?"

"No, his poison can't wait. The sooner we deliver it, the better. Otherwise, things will get worse and the longer the night, the more trouble we'll have."

"But your feet..."

"It's okay. Just hold on for a few days and you'll get there. I can hold on."

"Miss, the news in the capital is that the Xu family is no longer safe. I'm afraid you will have no place to stay after this trip."

"...Yes, thanks to my second sister, the birds and beasts are gone, the good bows are put away, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the running dog is cooked... She was so stubborn back then, and now, she has finally gotten what she wanted..."

"If you hadn't insisted on expelling yourself from the family tree, I'm afraid you would be in prison..."

“I’m afraid there’s a place for me in the prison.

Oh, what can I do? Prince Qi is not a good man, but my second sister insisted on persuading my father to stand with him. Since I have foreseen this outcome, what can a weak woman like me do? I can only save my life and protect myself... cough cough cough..." He took a sip of water and suppressed the itch in his throat. "Now, although Prince Rong has asked to go to the frontier, he will know the news in the capital sooner or later. I am afraid that he will burn his boats and ask to be trapped... After all, he is very kind to my second sister..."

"Miss, you care so much about Prince Rong, how could he know? He may not even recognize your name and face. Over the years, you have worked hard to run the grain store and shops, and donated and transported a lot of military supplies anonymously. Does he know..."

"Xiao Chan, there is a world of difference between him and me. I just hope you are well, that's enough, why ask for too much?" He patted the little maid's hand soothingly, "I'll close my eyes and rest for a while."

After hearing this, Xiao Chan kept silent, took out the cloak from her bag, gently put it on the woman's shoulders, and sighed.

In the silent night, on the path leading to the capital, a man and a horse were galloping past at full speed, and they passed by a blue cloth carriage that had just arrived at a small town on the northern border.

Qin Yuechuan was enduring the dull burning pain in his body at this moment, his mind solely on the figure of the woman who was like a moth to a flame.

Is it worth it?

I don't know how many people have asked him this question. However, at this moment, the three words "worth it" can no longer accurately describe his inner answer. Things have come to this point. He has no choice but to...

Until death!

Kyoto Dungeon

A charming young girl dressed in brocade and pearls, dressed like a concubine, was led by the jailer to a single cell in the deepest part of the prison.

Covering her face with a handkerchief, she did not hide the hatred in her eyes, and called out the name that she had hated for countless days and nights:

"Xu Mingxi!"

The girl named Xu Mingxi was crawling on the ground, covered in blood and in a miserable state. She raised her eyes with difficulty, and the anger in her eyes was about to burst out. However, her whole body was tortured and she had no strength left. She could only make a "ho ho" sound in her throat.

"Hey, are you okay? I heard that you've been quite quiet in recent days, but have you figured it out?

Oh, yes, your tongue has been pulled out, you can't make any sound!

A remarried woman yet still dreaming of becoming a queen?

No matter what you say, she is still a virgin, who cares!

Hahahahahaha, how ridiculous! "

Regardless of the girl's reaction, he fiddled with the blood-red Kou Dan and said:

"I have delivered your severed finger to that person. Do you think he will fall into his trap for you?"

"Oh, it's really not worth it for him. The person I love so much has been pretending to be nice to me for so long. You are the only person he trusts, but you stabbed him in the heart with the most cruel knife. Hahahahahaha, it's funny just thinking about it."

"I, Xu Baiyu, have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Every time I see you with him, I know you are pretending that he is still so gentle to you. He seems to always hope to warm your hard heart, even though he is here to die now.

But, so what? Just send him off. I really can't bear to see him look so adoring at your grave after you die!"

Grief, anger, regret, and self-blame all surged into Xu Mingxi's heart, but he was unable to express himself. He could only struggle to crawl forward, sobbing heart-wrenchingly.

"Fortunately, I still have Prince Qi. Oh, no, now I should call him His Majesty. I am now the first imperial concubine in the palace. Soon, he will make me his queen. You are only fit to stay in this dark cell with rats and ants as your companions. Spend your last moments well."

She no longer looked at Xu Mingxi's expression. Having achieved her goal, she lifted her skirt and walked out slowly, saying as she walked: "By the way, I will take good care of your father and brother."

After saying that, he walked away, leaving Xu Mingxi alone there, roaring silently in anger.
