Chapter 202: Princess Zhao Ruqing of Nanjiang Kingdom
d you back then, it was simply because I had blind eyes!""Su Qingying, you!" Xuan Yuan Che's face was as dark as the overcast sky, his eyes seemed to drip with water."And" Su Qingying's lips curled in..."Well, she's Zhao Ruoqing, the eldest princess of Nanjiang. She's been proficient in all sorts of poisons and venomous insects since she was a child. I once offended her and was bitten by her insects countless times." A shadow crossed his brow as he spoke of this woman, Zhao Tianyu couldn't help but show a hint of fear on his face, "If it really is her, then things are going to be tricky."
"Zhao Ruqing The older sister of Zhao Ruzhi and Zhao Tianqi" Su Qingying narrowed her eyes with disgust. Back in Ximing, she never had any good feelings towards those Zhao family members, and this time, she was filled with loathing and hatred for the Nanjiang royal family to the extreme.
"Indeed, I didn't expect her ambitions to be so grand, she even dared to set her sights on Mount Dongyue." Zhao Tianyu's wild and handsome face showed a solemn expression. In the dim night, his dark eyes flickered with something Su Qingying couldn't quite see through, enigmatic and unfathomable.
Jun Li's night-dark lips thinned into a tight line, his blood-red narrow eyes seemed to hold a swirling storm, undercurrents surging, a flash of chilling murderous intent passing through them.
I've heard of this woman, but she's just an insignificant ant, daring to hurt Ying'er's beloved She's simply tired of living!
Southern Xinjiang is truly magnificent! To even dream of seizing control of Donghyue, their appetite is truly huge! They don't even fear choking to death! It seems they've been far too idle!
Here, Zhao Tianyu and Su Qingying's conversation was heard word for word by Su Huaitian. In an instant, he felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, an indescribable chill slowly rising from his feet, startling him so much that his eyes almost popped out.
He roared in disbelief, his eyes bulging with terrifying bloodshot veins, "Impossible! She said she was from my mother concubine's old subordinates, how could she possibly be the Princess of Nanjiang No!"
“Fools, they were sold and still helped count the money.” Turning her gaze back to Su Huai Tian, Su Qingying’s cold face was filled with mockery and disdain. A terrifying aura radiated from her, “I ask you, how do we remove the worm in Father Emperor’s body”
"This, she only gave me the venomous insects at the time and didn't tell me how to detoxify them. I don't know," Su Huantian said blankly.
"Trash! Clueless, what use are you even here! Die!" A cold glance swept over, Su Qingying's pretty face suddenly flashed a trace of ruthlessness, her eyes gleaming coldly.
With a single palm strike, Su Huai Tian didn't even have time to let out a scream before blood splattered everywhere, and he died instantly.
His two eyes bulged dramatically, the look of terror still etched deep on his face, refusing to fade.
After dealing with Su Huai Tian, Su Qing Ying's clear and sharp eyes shifted slightly, landing on Ji Yan Er beside her. A chilling killing intent appeared in her star-like black eyes, "Ji Yan Er, it's your turn next."
As if being targeted by Death itself, Ji Yan'er felt a sharp pang in her heart, her liver and intestines churning. She cried with tears streaming down her face, "No! No! Your Majesty, please save me! I beg you, spare me! I know I was wrong, your Majesty!"
"If only I had known this day would come, why did I start in the first place. Bring her here, drag Ji Yan'er down and execute her to the fullest extent of the law." Su Huitian frowned slightly, not moved at all, and directly sentenced her crime.
After that, the two guards who had been escorting Su Huantian immediately stepped forward, dragging her away like a dead pig. Ji Yan'er was disheveled and kept scratching at the ground with her nails, refusing to be dragged away so easily. She desperately hoped that Su Huantian would show mercy. "Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty! I was wrong. Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Su Chengming coldly glared at her, his brows and eyes not relaxing even slightly. On the hard granite floor, a few deep and shallow bloodstains were left behind.
"Ah! Look, there's a worm crawling out of the Second Prince's body!" With wide eyes, Xi’er covered her mouth in horror after spotting a worm wriggling beside Su Huantian.
Seeing that disgusting red worm, Zhao Tianyu's face changed drastically. A sharp chill appeared in his black eyes as he said in a harsh voice, "It's a poisonous worm! Damn it, I didn't expect Zhao Ruoqing to still have this trick up her sleeve. Quickly, kill this poisonous worm and absolutely don't let it escape."
Su Qingying's expression suddenly turned cold. She looked at Jun Linyue beside her, "A Li!"
"Hmm." Jun Liye nodded slightly, and swiftly struck out at the crimson worm. Just as his palm wind was about to land on it, the worm flashed red, a pair of thin wings unfolded from its back, instantly transforming into a streak of light and darting away towards the palace exterior at incredible speed.
Jun Li's eyes darkened, her toes lightly tapping the ground as she launched herself into the air, swiftly pursuing after it with the intent to cleave it in two.
Meanwhile, at the inn.
Zhao Ruqing was sitting patiently on the rosewood chair, waiting for good news from Su Huantian. Unexpectedly, the strange red light in her body flickered for a moment, then her face changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly, "Oh no, Su Huantian is dead."
"How could this be Princess, could you have mistaken something" Ling'er, the maid who had come at the sound of the voice, was stunned, her face full of disbelief. Her heart was already in turmoil.
The princess knew all too well just how powerful her poison was. How could she possibly fail!
"No, the worm I placed within Su Huai Tian has already crawled out." The hand resting on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened, causing the chair to instantly turn into dust. The cold and ruthless voice carried a sinister aura.
"Princess, what shall we do now" Ling'er said worriedly, a hint of disappointment in her brows that couldn't be concealed.
"Hmm They've caught up so quickly" Just about to speak, Zhao Ruqing keenly sensed someone rapidly approaching this way. Her red lips curled into a cold sneer, and a pair of beautiful eyes slowly revealed killing intent. "Go, kill them for me!"
On the other side, Jun Liye closely followed the red worm to an abandoned inn. Seeing the worm desperately trying to fly onto the inn and escape, he let out a disdainful cold snort, then with a flash of icy sword light, the worm was instantly cut in half.
In the depths of the night, Jun Li stood tall, his bloody sword held high in his hand. A gust of wind whipped through his white robes, making them flutter like flames in the darkness.
A face that was peerlessly handsome, a temperament that was unparalleled in its elegance, like the majestic emperor residing high above in the nine heavens palaces.
Looking around at the surroundings, Jun Liye's pair of eerie blood eyes narrowed slightly, "An inn"
"Rustling sounds, constantly coming from all directions, surrounded him tightly.
"
Under the heavy, starless night, strands of sinister crimson centipedes encircled him with menacing gazes. Their transparent wings fluttered incessantly, as if awaiting a single command to swarm forward in a tide!
“Hmm It’s all gu worms” Jun Liye held his long sword horizontally in front of him, gazing at the densely packed red insects surrounding him. His eyes flashed with a sharp glint. “So that's how it is, it seems the mastermind is hiding in this inn!”
Um...
As if being urged by something, all the centipedes suddenly glowed red and surged toward Jun Liye.
With a flick of her wrist, Jun Liye danced the long sword in her hand, creating a beautiful flower of blades that instantly killed several venomous insects.
He had no fear on his face, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and a cold smile in his eyes. "Humph, just a few little insects. This king doesn't even look down upon them!"
His tone was extremely arrogant, his cold and enchanting eyebrows raised with a domineering aura. His whole being exuded the air of an untouchable king, enough to strike fear into anyone who looked at him.
I could feel his contempt and disdain. All the insects on me flared with red light, drawing countless sharp red streaks against the night sky. They attacked in unison, their angles incredibly cunning and difficult to defend against.s mouth, but I didn't expect that her gaze at me first showed surprise, then a hint of pity. "Oh, five thousand taels of silver should be the largest amount that the Nanjiang Kingdom can offer. Don't...
