Dan Yu Yan's face was on the verge of tears. Seeing this, Luo Bing Qing laughed even more heartily, "Feeling the sting, aren't you? Even if you stay in the Prince of Qin's mansion, by his side, you can't keep his heart, nor his person. His heart only holds Xiao Man, he only loves Xiao Man, and you are merely a plaything for his release!"
"Even if I am just a plaything, I am still better than you. His Highness disdains even touching you!"
"You're seeking death!" Luo Bing Qing angrily struck Dan Yu Yan, sending her flying into the wall. She then rolled to the ground. Dan Yu Yan looked particularly disheveled, her hair undone, her clothes in disarray, blood at the corner of her mouth and on her hands.
Luo Bing Qing strode forward, grabbed her by the hair, forcing Dan Yu Yan to look at her, "Since you like serving men so much, I will grant your wish!"
Luo Bing Qing immediately dragged Dan Yu Yan by the hair, "There's a good place that suits you very well. Do you know what the Red Chamber is?"
"Let go of me."
"It seems you don't know." Luo Bing Qing's face was filled with hatred. "The Red Chamber is a place for those country bumpkins to seek pleasure. A delicate woman like you going to the Red Chamber, I'm afraid you won't last. I want to see if you can still be so defiant after entering the Red Chamber..."
Luo Bing Qing, who was holding Dan Yu Yan's hair, suddenly let go and clutched her throat. Dan Yu Yan stumbled back, a sharp shard of porcelain clutched in her blood-stained hand. Taking advantage of Luo Bing Qing's lack of vigilance, she used the broken porcelain hidden in her hand to slash Luo Bing Qing's throat.
Luo Bing Qing clutched her neck, trying to stop the gushing blood. But no matter how hard she tried, blood continued to pour through her fingers. Luo Bing Qing's body swayed, and suddenly a surge of intense hatred erupted. She drew her sword and lunged at Dan Yu Yan. Su Dan Novel Network.
Dan Yu Yan repeatedly retreated. At this moment, a figure appeared, flashing past Luo Bing Qing. Luo Bing Qing felt a chill in her chest. She strained her eyes to look at the person behind her, her eyes filled with intense hatred. She was unwilling, unwilling to die like this. She hadn't yet made Nangong Yu regret, she hadn't yet obtained everything she wanted!
Luo Bing Qing's body slumped down, her gaze fixed on the person in front of her. She never imagined that the one who would ultimately take her life would be him!
This man was clearly so weak, so incompetent. Whatever she wanted, he would find a way to satisfy her. Yet today, for another woman, he was taking her life!
A bitter smile curled on Luo Bing Qing's lips. In the past, she too was a treasure held in her parents' palms, unaware of the world's hardships, let alone the unpredictability of human hearts. She wholeheartedly admired the Prince of Qin and followed him to the capital. But in the end, the Prince of Qin was heartless towards her. She lost herself to Si Feng without realizing it. This man disguised himself as the Prince of Qin and stayed by her side, creating an illusory dream for her, only to cruelly shatter it afterward.
Heh, she was too foolish after all, thinking she could soar to success by relying on a man. She was too naive, thinking that if a man wronged her, he would always obey her every word. Little did she know that women are fickle, and men are even more so.
Dan Yu Yan slowly stepped forward, looking at Luo Bing Qing, whose eyes were wide with unfulfilled hatred. She sighed and shook her head, then knelt down and closed her eyes. Luo Bing Qing could have found a good husband and had children. But she had to meet the Prince of Qin. The Prince of Qin was devoted yet heartless. If he loved you, he would lay the world at your feet. But if he didn't notice you, all your efforts would be in vain.
Si Feng turned away, a single tear rolling down his cheek. He thought she just couldn't accept the truth for a moment, he thought she was just a bit spoiled and willful, but her nature was good. Who knew she would become so strange and cruel, as if he had never known her.
"Si Feng, bury her properly," Dan Yu Yan said softly. "She should have had a different life, but she met His Highness and ruined her future."
Si Feng remained silent, his back to Dan Yu Yan. Dan Yu Yan understood that he was heartbroken. After all, he had been married to Luo Bing Qing and they had a child. Even though the child's life was short, to Si Feng, they were his family. Now he had personally killed her.
Dan Yu Yan turned and left, leaving the room to Si Feng. She knew his stubborn nature and that he needed to be alone at this time.
Exiting the room, Dan Yu Yan turned a corner and saw Ye Yi Chen sitting on the railing, looking at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Dan Yu Yan scoffed, "It seems Steward Ye has been watching quite a good show from afar."
Ye Yi Chen's smile remained unchanged, "I just wanted to see when Miss Dan would finally fight back."
Dan Yu Yan's expression was calm. She looked at her blood-stained hands, "I suddenly feel that her death is a form of luck. After all, how many women who fell in love with the Prince of Qin had a good ending?"
Ye Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean by that, Miss Dan?"
"Cherish life and stay away from men," Dan Yu Yan said faintly. "Especially men with fox-like eyes. They are not good things."
With that, Dan Yu Yan strode away. Ye Yi Chen watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor and couldn't help but whistle. The secret guards immediately followed her, after all, she was the orphan of a former subordinate, and they couldn't just watch her get into trouble.
A moment later, Ye Yi Chen got up and headed towards Dan Yu Yan's room. Upon reaching the door, he found that Si Feng and Luo Bing Qing were nowhere to be seen.
"Pathetic. To become like this for a woman. Why learn from anyone but your master, you only choose bad women to love. Bad women are not something you can handle!"
"As if you can handle them," a maid, who had been lying on the ground, sat up and rubbed her sore neck. "She really hit hard, causing me to wake up at the wrong time. I didn't dare to get up."
"Si Yue, you've been by Dan Yu Yan's side for quite some time. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Si Yue rubbed her neck and sat down on a chair. Si Yue was Xi Yue. When Xiao Man defected, she took all her maids with her, leaving only her behind. It was likely she didn't want any further connection with the Prince of Qin. Afterward, Si Yue returned to the Prince of Qin's mansion and served by Dan Yu Yan's side.
"No," Si Yue shook her head. "Not only is there nothing unusual, she hasn't contacted anyone. I don't understand why you're so distrustful of her."
Ye Yi Chen's eyes were deep. "It's a hunch. I always feel she's not simple. But no matter how I test her, she doesn't reveal the slightest flaw. Don't you find such a woman rather terrifying?"
"In your eyes, are there any women who aren't terrifying?" Si Yue asked mockingly.
"Of course, there are. For example, you, Si Yue."
