Watching them take Ye Qingying away, Hong Chou was so furious she almost spat blood!
She had been so careful, why was she still no match for that bitch?
Now that Ye Qingying had been taken away, when would she ever see him again?
Not to mention, upon returning, she had no idea how to explain to Yu Linglong.
That crazy woman would torment her again.
Hong Chou sat on the ground, taking a deep breath before she could recover, and then got up.
As expected, upon returning to Prince He's mansion and learning that Ye Qingying had been taken away, she was greeted with a heavy slap.
Her face burned, five bright red finger marks appearing. Yu Linglong's fingernails had even scratched her cheek, leaving some bloody marks.
Hong Chou bit her lip and clenched her palm, enduring it all.
"Useless!" Yu Linglong was so angry she wanted to rush forward and kick her again.
"Did you give him the medicine I told you to?"
Hong Chou replied without hesitation, "It has already been administered."
Yu Linglong's expression then improved slightly.
It was good that it was administered!
Even if Chu Qianli took Ye Qingying back, she wouldn't be able to undo the蛊 (gǔ) poison and the effects of the drug for some time.
No matter how skilled Chu Qianli's medical arts were, these were poisons concocted by countless masters, how could she possibly undo them at will?
"Let her be happy for a few days for now! Their good days won't last much longer!" she gritted her teeth.
Hong Chou dared not speak. If Yu Linglong knew that the poison had not been given to Ye Qingying but to Chu Qianli, she would be so enraged that she might kill her on the spot?
Unexpectedly, as she was lost in thought, Yu Linglong suddenly turned her head, her gaze meeting Hong Chou's flickering eyes.
Yu Linglong's heart sounded an alarm. Her expression instantly turned grim: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Your subordinate dares not." Hong Chou tried her best to keep her expression calm.
But the more she acted that way, the more suspicious Yu Linglong became.
"Really nothing? That medicine, did you really feed it to him?"
"Yes, how would your subordinate dare to deceive Your Majesty?"
"Heh, I don't know if you dare now, but I bet you won't dare in a moment."
Hong Chou didn't understand these words and could only look at her.
Yu Linglong took out something and brought it to her lips.
Something so familiar… a short flute?
Why was she playing the flute at this moment?
She…
"Woo…" The short flute began to play.
The sound of the flute was like a knife, suddenly piercing Hong Chou's heart.
"Ah…" Pain! It was so painful that her whole body trembled, so painful that she couldn't even stand steadily, falling to the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty… what…"
Yu Linglong only played twice before putting down the short flute.
"Do you now understand why I'm not afraid of your betrayal?"
Hong Chou rolled on the ground. Although the flute music had stopped, the pain still lingered within her.
For a long time, she could only curl up, panting, enduring the agony.
It was so painful!
Yu Linglong, that bitch, had planted a蛊 (gǔ) on her! And she had been completely unaware!
When had this happened?
"Hong Chou, do you think I would readily trust someone like that? If I couldn't control you, how could I entrust important matters to your hands?"
Hong Chou couldn't utter a single word, only hatred filled her heart.
But she would never despair!
She would return the pain Yu Linglong had inflicted upon her tenfold.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Don't try anything foolish on me. If I die, you won't live for three days, understand?"
Yu Linglong returned to her chair, looking at her nonchalantly: "Qing Mei has been out of contact for many days. Find a way to send someone to see what that foolish woman is doing."
