Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

"It's not that this prince is afraid of you, but if this matter is brought to the attention of the emperor, I will definitely not end up well. Although this prince is the legitimate son, it is not clear at all that the emperor wants to make you the heirs now. I still have to consider everything carefully." The second prince muttered to himself.

His brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and helplessness. Although he was a legitimate son, he knew that his position in the palace was not absolutely stable and everything was full of variables. Faced with such a situation, he had to act cautiously so as not to anger his father and bring trouble to himself.

The maidservant standing by carefully watched the Second Prince's expression change nervously, and she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart. She knew that the Second Prince was in a bad mood at the moment, and she was afraid that she would say or do something wrong and become the target of his anger. So, she quietly reduced her presence to the minimum, trying to avoid attracting the Second Prince's attention.

However, despite the maid's best efforts to keep a low profile, she still could not escape the Second Prince's sight. Suddenly, the Second Prince turned around and glared at the maid fiercely. His face was frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with anger. The maid was so scared that she trembled all over and did not dare to look up at the Second Prince.

"Qiu Ying, serve me and let me rest. I am a little tired." The maid Qiu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help the second prince and walked to the couch. Suddenly, the second prince picked up Qiu Ying horizontally, frightening Qiu Ying and shouting loudly: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"It is your blessing to serve this prince, so why are you screaming? If you scream again, I will kill you right now. But as long as you serve me well, it is not impossible for me to take you as my concubine." After saying that, the second prince held Qiu Ying in his arms and strode towards the bed.

When the maid heard that she was to be a concubine, she stopped resisting and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

The two guards standing outside the door heard the heart-wrenching cries from the room, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One of the guards said, "Alas, another poor woman, I wonder if she can make it." The other guard comforted him, "Don't worry, this is not the first time we have seen this kind of thing, the Second Prince loves to torture people the most."

However, as time went by, the shouting in the room gradually disappeared, replaced by the second prince's crazy laughter and eerie silence. After a while, the door opened, and two guards saw Qiu Ying being carried out by two palace maids. Qiu Ying was pale, her eyes were closed, her lips were purple, and she was shaking all over.

The guards couldn't help but be moved, they knew that this woman probably wouldn't live long.

"What a pity! Such a beautiful woman died at the hands of that devil." A guard sighed.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is so cruel. He tortures these women to death every time." Another guard echoed.

At this time, Qiu Ying's body had completely lost all signs of life. Her skin showed a strange purple-red color, especially the two places on her chest that were covered with teeth marks, which was shocking. The guards looked at the tragic scene in front of them, and their hearts were filled with resentment towards the second prince, but they did not dare to show it. After all, the second prince was the most beloved son of the current emperor, and no one could afford to offend him.

"What are you doing here? Throw this bitch out of here!" The second prince walked out of the room, glanced coldly at the two guards and scolded.

The two guards bowed their heads and said yes, then quickly carried Qiu Ying's body out. As they walked away, they secretly rejoiced that they did not die as tragically as Qiu Ying. The second prince stood there with a smug smile on his face. To him, these women were just tools for him to vent his desires and were not worthy of sympathy at all.

Since the Tongrentang incident, the relationship between Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi seemed to have become closer. And everyone in the Regent's Palace tacitly did not mention Luo Tianyi, as if she had never appeared in the Regent's Palace.

That day, in the Luo Mansion, Luo Lu complained to his father with a face full of resentment: "Father, Tianyi died tragically in the Regent's Mansion. Are we just going to let it go? Even if Tianyi pretended to be pregnant to win favor, it shouldn't be a capital crime! This Regent doesn't take our Luo Mansion seriously at all!"

Father Luo frowned and said reproachfully, "Lu'er, don't you know why Tianyi died tragically? She tried to assassinate the royal family and committed such a heinous crime. If His Majesty knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous. Yan Wuque has told me the whole story. If he hadn't shown mercy, I'm afraid the entire Luo family would have been implicated."

After hearing this, Luo Lu's heart sank, but he still said unwillingly: "Father, Tianyi is my legitimate daughter after all. Now that she is dead, how can I swallow this? What's more, when she died, she was thrown into that remote mass grave. This is clearly an insult to our Luo family!" As he said that, he slammed his fist on the table.

Father Luo sighed and consoled him, "Lu'er, although I feel sorry for Tianyi, the current situation is tense and we must endure the humiliation. Moreover, although Yan Wuque is powerful, he is still a member of the royal family and we cannot easily fall out with him. As long as we are patient for a while, we will definitely find a chance to avenge Tianyi in the future."

"Father, I am unwilling to accept this. As Tianyi's father, I cannot avenge Tianyi. I feel so bitter." Luo Lu was really sad. Luo Tianyi had been held in the palm of Luo Lu's hand and carefully nurtured since childhood, so the relationship was naturally deep. Not long after, Luo Lu fainted from sadness.

Prime Minister Luo seemed to have aged many years in an instant, with gray hair and a slightly hunched back. He slowly walked into the study.

At night, Yan Wuque insisted on resting in Nuanyu Pavilion, Yun Yuxi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and finally she was so sleepy that she fell asleep first. Yan Wuque hugged Yun Yuxi contentedly, looking at Yun Yuxi's puffy and pouting mouth, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Early in the morning, Yun Yuxi opened her eyes and what came into view was Yan Wuque's handsome face. Then she looked at herself hugging Yan Wuque tightly like an octopus, and Yun Yuxi wanted to die.

Looking at Yan Wuque sleeping soundly, Yun Yuxi gritted her teeth, then pinched Yan Wuque's face, touched his chest, and finally flicked Yan Wuque's chest as if to play a prank. Yan Wuque closed his eyes and was about to give up pretending. At this time, he heard Yun Yuxi muttering to herself, "You son of a bitch, you dare to climb into my bed, it's good that I didn't poison you to death. Since this son of a bitch is good-looking, it seems that I won't suffer any loss. Anyway, in my previous world, it was normal for men and women to live together."

Yan Wuque was still shocked by Yun Yuxi's words, but Yun Yuxi quickly got up, touched her face again, and then walked out of the room with a smile.

Yan Wuque in the room could no longer pretend, but he was in a very good mood. He even rewarded everyone in Nuanyu Pavilion with five taels of silver, which made the servants in Nuanyu Pavilion very happy.
