After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Zhao Ying refused to let him remove the poison, so Shangguan Shu had to think of other ways.

Zhao Yao would definitely not tell him the method to cure the poison, so he could only...

Shangguan Shu took the wine pot and filled Zhao Yao's cup again. He ignored Zhao Yao's pale face and said nonchalantly: "My Gu is not like ordinary Gu. It is a Gu King that I specially asked someone to find from southern Hunan. The method of making it is extremely novel. Let me tell you about it."

"If you want to obtain this extremely sinister and poisonous Gu King, you must first find a young girl who is at the most sinister age, cut open her stomach, pour eighty-one poisonous insects that are less than one millimeter in size into it, and then close the stomach."

"When the poisonous insects feed on the girl's flesh and blood and use her belly as a dish, they will gradually grow. During this time, the girl will feel countless poisonous insects wriggling in her belly..."

"When the last poisonous insect survives and crawls out of the girl's flesh... the Gu King will be established."

Shangguan Shu's tone remained calm throughout, but it frightened Zhao Yao sitting opposite him almost to death.

She stood up in disbelief, looked at Shangguan Shu, her eyes reddened, and asked softly, "Shangguan Shu, why did you hurt me like this?"

"How could you do this to me?"

Shangguan Shu smiled lightly, "Of course it's because someone refused to accept the toast and had to drink the wine as punishment."

"After all..." Shangguan Shu said in a deep voice, "What I want to know, I must know!"

Two lines of tears slid down Zhao Yao's eyes.

She was still feeling thankful that Shangguan Shu had feelings for her one moment, but all her illusions were shattered the next... He even put a poison on her in order to force her to answer questions.

She suddenly frowned and covered her stomach.

A feeling between itching and pain came from my stomach, just like a sharp claw scratching the abscess caused by a mosquito bite. It was painful, itchy and pleasurable, and extremely torturous.

Zhao Yao looked at Shangguan Shu in horror. Thinking of what Shangguan Shu had said about the King of Gu, fear filled her eyes. "You...you...ah!"

A sharp pain came over her, and she screamed, then fell to the ground.

She struggled and rolled on the ground, holding her abdomen, forcing out cold sweat that soaked her whole body. She looked at Shangguan Shu with a whine and begged, "Runlang! I really didn't do anything... Please let me go! It hurts so much!... It really hurts!... I promise you, I will never trouble Sister Ying again... I will never lie to you again... Ah... Yes! I will go back and ask Master Wufa to return Ziyin's face..."

Zhao Yao cried bitterly, with tears streaming down her face, feeling aggrieved and in pain, but she still hoped for a bit of pity and compassion from the man in front of her.

pity……

Shangguan Shu stood up slowly, looked down at her condescendingly, and said nothing.

Waiting for her to beg for mercy.

Waiting for her to tell him what he wanted to know.

There was no expression on his handsome face, and his pair of eyes, as dark as ink, were filled with contempt and a destructive silence.

Yes, destruction.

Not only did he ruin Zhao Yao and Wei Fu, but he also caused Zhao Ying to suffer so much pain that she wished she was dead...

He wants to destroy it all!

If there really was a hand in this world that made him and Zhao Ying go their separate ways, he would break and destroy that hand!

Zhao Yao looked into those cold eyes and finally gave up.

She suddenly laughed, and her low, hoarse laughter drifted away in the thick night...

Desolate and sad...but filled with intense hatred!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

Look, this is Shangguan Shu...

Is this the man she has been thinking about?

She tried her best just to gain his favor...but it was hard to get and so easy to lose.

In fact, he didn't even know that she had threatened Zhao Ying. He just knew that she had found Zhao Ying, and he was unhappy...

Does he love her so much?

Zhao Yao was so jealous that she was going crazy!

Why did Zhao Ying, a bastard, get everything she dreamed of?

She shouldn't do that. How can she deserve it?

Those should all be hers!

Yes, it's all hers...

Zhao Yao was extremely sad and in pain, but gradually she became hardened.

She endured the excruciating pain, clenched her teeth, and tasted blood in her mouth. She lifted the table, forced herself to stand up, and shouted with all her might: "Shangguan Shu!! Do you think Zhao Ying will be grateful to you for doing this?!"

"Hahahaha, why are you pretending to be so infatuated? Aren't you the one who used Zhao Ying as a pawn? Aren't you the one who is hypocritical towards her?!"

She screamed in pain, "Weren't you the one who betrayed Zhao Ying to save me and promised me a high position?!"

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Shangguan Shu's calm face showed a hint of cracks.

Zhao Yao was happy.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "...If she knew that you and I were still in a secret relationship and that you were secretly seeking the throne of the Zhao family...Do you think she would still look at you?!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Yao's eyes blurred and his neck was strangled tightly!

That force... Zhao Yao caught a glimpse of the man's hand with veins bulging like mountains. She subconsciously looked towards Shangguan Shu, and looked into his desperate eyes filled with murderous intent... and his bloodless face.

The system felt that the host's health was fading. It was afraid of Shangguan Shu's inexplicable karmic fire and Zhao Yao's death. It tried to reduce its presence as much as possible and reminded in a weak voice: [Host, don't provoke the hero anymore. The hero has gone crazy. I feel that his sanity has completely collapsed. He...he...he will really kill you! ]

Zhao Yao stuck out her tongue and choked, "You...want...to...kill...me..."

"I...didn't...do...anything!!"

Shangguan Shu sneered, his voice as sharp as a knife, "Zhao Yao, no one knows you better than me!"

"You don't have to tell me! I won't kill you. I have many ways to make you live a life worse than death! This Gu King, you are not afraid of pain, then I will send you to the inner prison and have someone feed you into Hu Yanxue's mouth with their own hands!"

Having said that, Shangguan Shu quickly let go of Zhao Yao, turned around and called the secret guards.

Zhao Yao was so frightened that she forgot to move and only shouted hoarsely, "No! Shangguan Shu, how dare you!"

"master!"

"do not want!"

Zhao Yao knelt down before Shangguan Shu, grabbed his robe, and begged, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

"Don't hurt Xue'er... Don't hurt her..."

Zhao Yao drooped her body weakly, crying so hard that anyone who heard her felt sad and cried...even the secret guards beside her were moved.

A sigh of great maternal love...

However, Shangguan Shu is not included here.

Shangguan Shu found it funny. He lowered his head and looked at Zhao Yao in surprise. "Zhao Yao, you are only allowed to hurt my Qi You and my Yue Er, but you are not allowed to hurt your Xue Er?"

The last bit of hope Zhao Yao had for Shangguan Shu completely disappeared.

She finally understood what the system meant.

So this is Shangguan Shu who has completely fallen in love with Zhao Ying...

It turns out that Shangguan Shu is such a cold and indifferent person...

The system sensed what she was thinking and sighed: [Host, it’s not that he is cold and indifferent, it’s that he is warming you, not you…]

[All the kindness he showed you before was for the heroine’s sake…]

But she clearly didn't steal anything from Zhao Ying. It was Zhao Ying who took away everything from her, and she just took it back!

Zhao Yao stopped crying and swallowed all her resentment.

She looked up at Shangguan Shu, "I tell you..."

"I did find Zhao Ying, but...it wasn't me who threatened her, it was she who threatened me!"

Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes.

"Do you know why I was married to the Xiongnu?"

"In order to get you, Zhao Ying did not hesitate to... drug me and made me have sex with a guard. I was caught by Queen Xiaomin on the spot! In order to cover up for Zhao Ying, the culprit, Queen Xiaomin married me to the Xiongnu, killed the guard, threatened my mother with me, and shut everyone up..."

"But..." She looked at Shangguan Shu with scorching eyes.

"But one person was left alive!"

"Who?"

Zhao Yao paused for a while, lowering her eyes so as not to let Shangguan Shu see her expression, "It's the Duke of Zhenguo, your father!"

Shangguan Shu frowned.

"The Duke of Zhenguo was also present at the time, but he was intimidated by the tyranny of Queen Xiaomin and did not dare to tell the truth."

Shangguan Shu asked, "If she wanted to silence him, why didn't she do it for so many years, but brought it up now?"
