Yu Linglong closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of pain.
This time, even if Chu Qianli's knife cut her again, even if she fainted from the pain once more.
When she woke up, the same words would still be spoken: "I want you to cripple Feng Yexuan's martial arts!"
Finally, she fainted for the third time. When she woke up again, Chu Qianli was a little helpless.
"How much do you hate Prince Xuan? Why must you cripple his martial arts?"
"I don't hate him, I love him! I love him more than anyone!"
Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and glared at her.
Because of the extreme pain, she had foamed at the mouth several times. Now, her face was dirty and smelly, sickeningly so.
Chu Qianli no longer wanted to get close to her. She took two steps back, tossed her a towel, and conveniently released her acupoints.
Yu Linglong didn't have any extra strength. She picked up the towel and wiped herself casually.
She couldn't even crawl up and remained lying on the ground, looking at her, "Is your master's life worth less than Prince Xuan's martial arts?"
"Since you love him, why do you want to hurt him like this?" Chu Qianli's eyes were devoid of any ripple.
"Heh, he's too powerful, I can't control him. I want him to be completely crippled in martial arts so I'll have a chance to be with him."
"Absurd!" Chu Qianli was actually a little angry.
She didn't even dare to imagine what Feng Yexuan would become if his martial arts were crippled.
He would surely be driven to despair and death.
Her heart suddenly ached.
Seeing the hidden pain in her brows, a surge of anger rose in Yu Linglong's heart.
"You're not going to say you've fallen in love with Prince Xuan too, are you? What about your master? Ye Qingying betrayed me for you, even risking his life. And you, you've fallen for someone else. Are you worthy of your master?"
"My master and I do not have that kind of relationship," Chu Qianli said coldly.
Yu Linglong, however, smiled sarcastically, "Can you fool others, or can you fool yourself? If Ye Qingying wasn't madly in love with you, would he have given up everything for you?"
Chu Qianli didn't want to speak, nor did she need to explain to her.
Yu Linglong took a deep breath, stabilizing her breathing slightly. She then fumbled in her embrace for a moment.
Chu Qianli kept her eyes fixed on her hand.
However, after being tormented like this, this woman wouldn't have much strength now.
Chu Qianli wasn't afraid of her making a sneak attack.
As expected, Yu Linglong merely took out a packet of medicine from her pocket. "Put this medicine... into his tea in three separate doses. After three doses, his internal energy will dissipate."
"Don't worry, I... I love him so much, I would never... hurt his life. I just want him to be completely without power, so he can obediently stay by my side in the future."
"For someone like Prince Xuan, being completely without power is no different from being dead?"
Chu Qianli stared at the packet of medicine and snorted, "Crippling his martial arts is equivalent to taking his life."
Moreover, to carry such harmful powder with her all the time showed how wicked this woman was.
"No, I am the Empress of Longteng Kingdom. As long as he is willing to stay by my side, in the future, he can have whatever he desires. I will never mistreat him."
Yu Linglong panted for a couple more breaths and finally managed to sit up, looking at her.
"Is your master's life, and Prince Xuan's internal energy, truly so difficult to choose between? Your master was willing to give his life for you. Is that kindness not as valuable as Prince Xuan's face?"
She took a deep breath. Her strength hadn't returned, but she had finally managed to catch her breath.
"Do you truly have no loyalty to your master? If I don't give him the antidote and continue like this, after three more episodes, he will become a Gu person. Is that what you want to see?"
