Chapter 667 You Swear

Lou Qinghan burst into tears at that moment!

There's blood. It was his neck that was cut. If blood appears on his neck, won't he be finished?

He stared at Ye Wenyan with eyes wide open, no longer caring about the face of Prince Su Yuan, and begged with tears: "Let me go! I don't want to die, I will listen to you in everything. I will go back and convince my father to pay tribute to Northern Qi. I only beg you to let me go. Ye Wenyan, no, Empress Dowager, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to go to Northern Qi to show off again, don't cut my neck, I will die if I see blood! Woo..."

People watched as Prince Su Yuan was frightened and cried bitterly, but because he didn't dare to shake his neck, his crying sounded very strange.

But people also didn't understand why he was crying. What did he mean by dying if he saw blood? It wasn't him who was bleeding. Ye Wenyan also smiled, "Xiaolou, don't be afraid. My medical skills are very good. I won't bleed if I cut your neck. If you don't believe me, look to the side. It was your witch doctor who made the mistake. It was our regent who was bleeding."

Lou Qinghan became alert when he heard this and wanted to turn his head to look, but he felt that the knife was cutting his neck. If he turned his head at this time, wouldn't it hurt his bones? So he could only squint hard and look at the witch doctor with the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, there was blood! Quan Ji was wearing a silver-gray robe today, and the blood on the robe was particularly obvious and shocking. Although Quan Ji didn't feel the pain, the visual impact really made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Witch doctor." Quan Ji spoke, "Didn't you say that there would be no bleeding? Why did the king bleed so much?"

The witch doctor frowned, stopped the knife and stared at the wound for a while, then said: "Maybe it touched a blood vessel. Because the scalpel is too smooth, some of the hemostatic medicine has scattered. It doesn't matter, I will use some more medicine and the bleeding will stop soon." After he said that, he freed one hand, grabbed a handful of blue powder, and then smeared all of the powder on the bleeding wound.

Fortunately, the bleeding stopped quickly and Quan Ji breathed a sigh of relief. The palace servant wiped the sweat off his forehead and stared at his chest again.

But soon, the blood that had just stopped came out again, and this time it seemed that more blood flowed than last time. The whole grey robe was dyed red, and the color of his lips also changed obviously, no longer rosy, and began to turn deathly pale.

"What on earth are you doing?" Quan Ji was furious. If the knife wasn't still stuck in his heart, he really wanted to kick the witch doctor Su Yuan to death. "Is this your medical skill? Is this the so-called witch doctor Su Yuan? You have disappointed me so much! I order you to take out the knife immediately. You, Su Yuan, have already lost this bet. Don't compete anymore!"

"I didn't lose! I haven't taken the heart yet, how can I lose?" The witch doctor completely ignored his words, "You are the regent of Northern Qi, and you can't give orders to me. On the contrary, if you say more, I will inevitably say something." He said this in a very low voice. Quan Ji gritted his teeth in anger, "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I am threatening Your Highness." The witch doctor was still cutting his flesh. "The gambling has already begun, there is no reason to back out halfway. I said that I can take out the heart and let the person live, and I can take out the heart and let the person live, and live the same as before. So Your Highness does not need to worry. Although the blood flow is unexpected, it is really nothing. As long as Your Highness does not feel any pain, it will not be a problem."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Quan Ji suddenly felt pain in his chest. From a little pain at the beginning, to severe pain later, it finally hurt so much that he couldn't sit still and had to rely on the full support of the palace servants, and then the witch doctor stopped.

"Why is this happening?" The witch doctor was also confused. He had demonstrated this heart-cutting technique three times when he was in Su Yuan in order to consolidate his position, and each time it was very successful. The person whose heart was cut out would not feel pain or bleed. The heart would continue to beat after being put back, and the person would be no different from before. But why did it not work in Northern Qi? The regent was in so much pain after he had just cut open the flesh. If he forcibly took out the heart, even if his technique was perfect, the pain would be enough to kill the person.

"Stop, you lose! Let the imperial physician of Northern Qi heal my wounds!"

"I didn't lose!" The witch doctor insisted on his position. "It was just a small accident. Maybe it was because I used the knife for the first time and I used too much force. I'll give you another painkiller pill. You'll feel better soon after you take it." He took out another pill from the red medicine bag and stuffed it into Quan Ji's mouth. "It will be better soon. Believe me, you won't need to use the knife next time."

Su Yuan's painkillers really worked wonders, and after a while Quan Ji felt no more pain. So he asked the witch doctor, "If you don't use a knife, what do you want to use? Are you going to dig out your heart with your hands?"

The witch doctor nodded. "Just use your hands to dig out your heart. It's more accurate than using a knife. If you are afraid, just close your eyes. I will take out your heart and show it to everyone, and then put it back immediately. You will be fine."

Quan Ji no longer wanted to talk to him because he knew that no matter what he said, the witch doctor would not stop.

But he wanted to save his life, and the more he felt that the witch doctor was unreliable, the stronger his desire to save his life became.

So he looked at Ye Wenyan, humbled himself and begged: "If anything happens, please save me, Your Majesty."

Ye Wenyan was cutting half of Lou Qinghan's neck when she heard Quan Ji talking to her. She turned around and asked, "Why did I save you?"

Quan Ji said, "I am the regent of Northern Qi. If I die at the hands of witch doctor Su Yuan, it will also affect the reputation of our Northern Qi. Please consider the overall situation... No, please help me. As long as you are willing to help me, I will agree to any conditions."

"Any conditions?" Ye Wenyan smiled and pulled the knife in his hand back and forth twice, scaring Lou Qinghan and shouting immediately: "Focus! Concentrate on cutting my head and don't talk to anyone else! Quan Ji, shut up! If anything happens to me, you will be buried with me! Shut up and don't affect her anymore!" Quan Ji didn't want to argue with him. He just talked to Ye Wenyan: "If your majesty is willing to save my life, I promise to assist your majesty with all my heart until your majesty takes power. I will never have any second thoughts and will never suppress your majesty from participating in state affairs. From now on, I will be your most loyal minister, and I will do my best whether it is governing the country or blocking the knife. Please believe me, your majesty! Please save me!"

Ye Wenyan nodded, then said to Shi Liyuan: "Husband! Can you record what he said on the jade slip?"

The word "husband" made Shi Liyuan feel comfortable, and he immediately replied, "Of course!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a jade slip appeared in his palm. He used his spiritual power to pass the jade slip forward until it was in front of Quan Ji, and then he said, "Quan Ji, say what you just said to this jade slip again. And add one more thing. What will happen if you violate it? After you finish speaking, if Su Yuan, the witch doctor, fails to remove your heart, I will personally save your life."

Quan Ji was relieved. It was definitely better to have the Emperor protect his life than to have Ye Wenyan protect his life. So he did not hesitate any longer and immediately repeated what he had just said to the jade slip, and then added: "If you disobey, the sky will be struck by thunder!"

"Good!" Shi Liyuan was very satisfied with this. He pointed at the jade slip again, and the glowing jade slip trembled slightly, and then opened by itself. As the jade slip opened, the image of the Regent King Quan Ji immediately appeared in the air. Everyone saw the scene just now, and also heard what Quan Ji said and the oath he swore.

However, what they saw was the projection reflected in the jade slip, and they all heard Lord Emperor Zun say: "This jade slip will always be kept in Yanhua Palace. If one day you break your oath today, it will turn into a thunderbolt and smash you to pieces!"

The jade slip was taken back, but Shi Liyuan's voice was still echoing in Yanhua Palace.

Quan Ji shuddered, his face pale. But at this time he had no other choice, he could only obey his oath to save his life, and only by fully assisting Quan Qingcheng could he survive.

So he nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Then he looked at the witch doctor Su Yuan with a face full of hatred - "Come on! Move faster, don't dawdle!"

Su Yuan, the witch doctor, didn't want to delay any longer. He was upset because he didn't control the strength of the scalpel the first time. He wanted to end the bet quickly, win the scalpel, and then practice well.

So he quickened his movements and put his hand directly into Quan Ji's heart.

Quan Ji felt the pain again. This was truly a heart-wrenching pain that made his entire body twitch.

Ye Qingtong suddenly felt a little regretful when she saw this scene. Li Xiaohan should have felt this kind of torture. Why didn't she think of pushing Li Xiaohan up? Haha, it hurts so much to have her heart pierced. She is still a man. When she had a knife in her heart, she still endured the pain and scolded the adulterous couple. Men are really not as good as women!

She cursed in her heart and looked at Ye Wenyan again.

At some point, Ye Wenyan had already completely cut off Lou Qinghan's head. At this moment, the head had been placed on a tray, held by Lian Shi himself, and the front face was turned towards the guests so that everyone could take a closer look.

People were all stunned. A head was cut off with a small knife, one bite at a time, but not a drop of blood was shed. No one cried out in pain. Even after the head was placed on the tray, it was still alive!

"The head is alive" actually means that the facial features are movable. For example, Lou Qinghan can still blink, frown, breathe, and even speak. He only heard him say - "Ye Wenyan, are you a ghost? You can actually cut off a person's head and still let the person live! I am alive now, right? Yes, I must be alive, I can still speak, I can even sing. Ye Wenyan, hurry up and cut off the dog's head! Change it back after you are done, this prince is a little hungry and wants to eat."

Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cut it right away..."
