The little maid was Mu Rong Ruo Yin’s personal attendant, but she had no idea that these people intended to kill Changsun Yin. If she had known, she would not have dared.
She thought the secondary consort wanted to give the Prince a surprise by finding beautiful women from outside for his entertainment. That was why she respectfully and carefully led Qingyao and the others inside, thinking to herself.
Perhaps this woman would gain favor, and become another secondary consort. The Prince’s mansion could then have two secondary consorts, one primary consort, and all others would be concubines.
In the room, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles were lit, not very bright. The little maid looked up at Qingyao and was startled. This woman looked so much like the secondary consort. Realizing belatedly, she felt something was amiss.
Mo Chou didn't dare give her any more time to think. She struck the little maid with a punch, knocking her unconscious, and said respectfully.
“Miss, let’s go out first.”
“Good,” Qingyao nodded. Mo Chou extended her hand, picked up the little maid, and walked out. Besides Qingyao, Yin Xuan was also in the room. Later, she would lure Changsun Yin, and Yin Xuan would make his move. She expected the attack to be successful.
The night deepened. In the room, Qingyao slept facing inward, her posture extremely alluring. This was a test for Yin Xuan. The woman he liked was right before his eyes, how could he not be moved? His breathing quickened. Qingyao, lying on the bed, couldn't help but warn him.
“Your breathing is too heavy. Changsun Yin is not a fool.”
Yin Xuan’s heart trembled. In the darkness, his cheeks flushed, and he quickly closed his eyes, collecting his thoughts, and slowly adjusted his breathing.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door. They were steady and heavy, clearly a man’s footsteps. They walked in slowly, step by step.
The beaded curtain jingled, a tall figure bypassed the screen and walked directly to the bedside. He stared for a long time, and Changsun Yin’s cold voice rang out.
“Why aren't you making a fuss tonight? If you give me that dead fish look like usual, I’ll send you back to Xiuhua Lou. I want to see your slutty appearance, not your dead fish look. If you still have no reaction, I’ll never come again. You’ll have days to cry.”
As soon as Changsun Yin finished speaking, he began to undress, slowly walking to the bedside, his clothes scattering a bit.
At this critical moment, Yin Xuan, who was on the ceiling beam, moved like lightning. A flash of silver light streaked across.
Changsun Yin never dreamed that someone would dare to kill him on the spot.
Until his body heavily crashed onto the ground, his eyes still filled with bewilderment.
Qingyao on the bed leaped to the ground. Her icy pupils swept over the person on the floor. She kicked him twice with anger, and a sigh of relief escaped her. Finally, Changsun Yin was dead, and Mei Xin’s revenge was served.
Qingyao looked up at the void and murmured softly.
“Mei Xin, rest in peace.”
The room was quiet. Suddenly, the outside was ablaze with light, and the sounds of people became noisy. The beaded curtain jingled, and Mo Chou and Yin Xuan’s subordinates flashed in.
“Something’s wrong, trouble has started! Someone has surrounded the outside. That woman Mu Rong Ruo Yin played a trick. She wanted to use our hands to eliminate Changsun Yin, and now she’s using Shangguan Hao and the Qing Luo Kingdom’s officials against us.”
As soon as Mo Chou finished speaking, Qingyao let out a cold laugh, her expression darkening.
Very well. She originally wanted to escalate things, because only then would Wuqing appear.
Since Mu Rong Ruo Yin was confronting them directly, today they would fight to the death. As she spoke, she drew her Phoenix Tail Qin from her back and walked out first.
“Let’s go, let’s teach Shangguan Hao a lesson.”
With heroic spirit, soaring fighting will, and ferocity, she strode outwards. Mo Chou and Yin Xuan’s subordinates were inspired by her and followed her out. Yin Xuan’s eyes darkened. He knew she was doing this to lure that man out?
Perhaps Wuqing would appear soon, and it would be time for him to leave.
Outside the courtyard gate, the light was blinding. The torches illuminated the courtyard gate brightly.
As Qingyao expected, Shangguan Hao was leading the group, and Mu Rong Ruo Yin stood beside him. The moment she saw them emerge, she trembled and retreated a step, her pupils gazing with cold malice. The corners of her lips curled into a smirk.
Today was Mu Qingyao’s death day. She would use her life to avenge her deceased mother and brother.
Qingyao, aware of Mu Rong Ruo Yin’s thoughts, curled her lips into a cold smile.
“Mu Rong Ruo Yin, you are truly a slut. Do you think these people can really trap us today?”
She stood with arrogant pride, a peerlessly beautiful and enchanting flower in the night, unstained.
“If it weren't for Wuqing, do you think you could have used me? How ridiculous.”
Qingyao’s arrogant and overbearing attitude finally provoked Shangguan Hao. His face darkened, and his black eyes flickered with sharp ruthlessness. Rage consumed him. He never expected such a good chess piece to be killed by her. How could he be willing? This woman could not be kept any longer; leaving her would only cause more trouble, so she must die today.
“What big words! Today, I will make sure you have no place to be buried.”
Shangguan Hao spoke sinisterly. Qingyao cast a disdainful glance at him and spat with contempt. She cursed him loudly in front of everyone.
“Shangguan Hao, you despicable and shameless scoundrel! You will stop at nothing to get what you want. Do you think others don’t know your intentions? Don’t I know them?
“You just want to use Changsun Yin, don't you? Now I’ve killed one of your chess pieces, what can you do to me? And do you think I’m afraid of you?
“Remember this: one day, I will lead an army to break through your national borders and nail you to a cross.”
“As for Changsun Yin, he won’t even have a whole corpse. Then you won’t have a whole corpse either. I will cut you into a thousand pieces, tear you apart by five horses, hang your remains in the city for three days, and then abandon your corpse in the wild to feed the wolves.”
As Qingyao’s iron-willed curses continued, Shangguan Hao’s face grew darker. His handsome face was already contorted, his black eyes were bloodshot, and this woman was making him want to vomit blood.
As Qingyao’s curses fell, the surrounding soldiers dared not even breathe. In the quiet night, only Shangguan Hao’s gasping breaths could be heard. Yet, someone else was laughing, their laughter echoing particularly loudly in the night, followed by cheerful conversation.
“Yao’er, I didn’t know you could curse.”
Qingyao’s expression turned serious, and she corrected Yin Xuan very sternly.
“I don’t curse, but beasts are an exception.”
This statement was like a thunderclap. Shangguan Hao could no longer restrain himself, and with a fierce roar, he lunged forward.
Seeing his fierce approach, Yin Xuan would not let him succeed. He stepped on his feet and met him with overwhelming dominance, clashing head-on with Shangguan Hao in a fierce palm strike.
Both had profound internal energy. Their palms met with a loud explosion, creating a large pit in the ground. The soldiers panicked and retreated backward.
Mu Rong Ruo Yin, who had been standing at the front, calmly waved her hand and issued an order.
