Chapter 240 Poisonous Thoughts (Part )

The sharp knife cut across the tender skin of the fingertips, and a hideous long red scar suddenly appeared on the soft and smooth white muscles.

An Jingshuang screamed in pain and dodged quickly, but her frail shoulders were suddenly grasped by Song Zhishou's hands without her knowing when. She was good at using her strength, but she could not withstand the man's fierce force, so she had to stay where she was like a kitten.

The sharp dagger in Tao Yao's hand was against her wrist - it was obvious that she had no intention of killing him, and the place where the blade had just passed did not even hurt the deeper layer of flesh.

It was like the scene that had been rehearsed countless times in her mind finally appeared in reality and happened right in front of her. An Jingshuang couldn't help but chuckle triumphantly, not afraid at all that the knife in front of her would immediately pierce her chest.

Tao Yao didn't understand why she was laughing, and stared at her coldly, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out, falling down the curve of her beautiful face.

An Jingshuang looked at the expression on Tao Yao's face with satisfaction. Her slender willow-shaped eyebrows twisted into a small mountain. She murmured softly, "So you care about him too, don't you?"

Tao Yao didn't understand why, and couldn't help but move the knife closer to her, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Why are you doing this?"

"Why?" An Jingshuang held the dagger with her backhand, letting the sharp blade cut her palm. "Why so many whys? I did what I wanted to do, and what's in front of you now is the result. The person you truly love will never come back. As for the reason, is it so important? Don't forget, I'm not the only one who wants to kill the prince. The first person to kill him is your father, General Zhenbei Hou. Do you think you can get away with it? You...ah!——"

Before An Jingshuang could finish her provocative words, Tao Yao pulled out the blade with all his might, using the force to let the blade fiercely cut through An Jingshuang's fingers and palm.

The pain from her fingers to her heart was so severe that An Jingshuang could no longer maintain her composure. Her facial features wrinkled uncontrollably. Even with thick makeup covering her face, it still couldn't hide the dark complexion.

Tao Yao put the dagger against An Jingshuang's neck again, his expression as cold as ice.

"Tell me, why do you do this?"

An Jingshuang raised her face, too painful to speak. She glared at Tao Yao with hatred, then parted her lips and exhaled a puff of purple air.

Tao Yao was startled and realized that the situation was not good. She immediately covered her mouth and nose with her hands. The knife and dagger left An Jingshuang's neck. In an instant, she twisted her waist like a cunning wild cat and slipped away from Song Zhishou's confinement.

Song Zhishou reacted extremely quickly, immediately drawing his sword from its sheath, and the tip of the sword was as fast as lightning, resting on An Jingshuang's neck again.

An Jingshuang felt a chill on her back and stopped running. She turned around and met Song Zhishou's eyes with a seductive look.

"Sir Song, why are you standing here standing there instead of investigating the case? Do you still want your official hat? This case is a reward from me. When you go to the emperor to claim your credit, don't forget my contribution."

Song Zhishou frowned, not understanding An Jingshuang's meaning. He pressed her, "You've killed someone from the royal family. You've committed a serious crime. This world belongs to the king. Do you think you can escape?"

An Jing opened her frosty red lips slightly, revealing a very bright smile, and her voice was so sweet that it made people intoxicated.

"Being able to escape is my own skill. Being able to solve the case and bring me to justice is Master Song's skill. Why don't we just wait and see?"

"you!!"

Song Zhishou was enraged by her frivolous words and instinctively tried to grab her. But in an instant, his limbs seemed to lose their strength, and his five internal organs seemed to have been drained of their vital energy. Suddenly, he was completely powerless.

An Jingshuang moved nimbly and lightly, quickly prying open the door of the compartment and slipping out. Song Zhishou, who had lost his strength, had no choice but to watch her slip away right under his nose.

At that time, Tao Yao had no time to care about anything else and rushed into the dark room.

Song Zhishou wanted to stop her, but because he had lost strength in his hands and feet, when he rushed over, Tao Yao had already used the knife in her hand to cut the hemp ropes that tied Chu Huanjun to the pillar into pieces.

Tao Yao's face was covered with tears and snot. In fact, her eyes had already been submerged in the flood of tears. She could not see anything clearly, only a blur.

But the more blurry the vision became, the clearer Chu Huanjun's face appeared in my mind.

We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and we agreed to be together in the future. Why is it like this now that we finally meet again?

In the past, Tao Yao had heard of many couples who loved each other till death but ended up being separated in the underworld. She always thought the stories in the novels were too sentimental, but now that it actually happened to her, she realized how heartbreaking it could be.

Chu Huanjun is still so young, and he still has so many things to accomplish.

There wasn't even a promise between them - but they really loved each other, Tao Yao finally understood it now.

Tears blurred her vision, and she vaguely saw a hand reaching out from the front. It was Song Zhishou's. At that moment, Song Zhishou's voice also came softly from her ear: "Let me do it, I'll help you."

Tao Yao trembled as she placed the dagger in his hand. Song Zhishou raised his hand and gently waved it twice, cutting through all the hemp ropes.

In an instant, the man tied to the pillar fell like a piece of soft, thin paper. Tao Yao immediately reached out to catch him, but his weight was many times greater than hers. She was not strong enough and was caught off guard and was crushed to the ground by his body.

Tao Yao subconsciously opened her arms and hugged him, which scared Song Zhishou who was standing beside her.

Song Zhishou immediately squatted down and gently moved the person on top of her away. In an instant, Tao Yao suddenly flipped over like a fish and pounced on the person.

Her trembling hands gently covered his cheeks, and then gently brushed away the messy hair covering his face, revealing the familiar face completely.

He seemed to be sleeping peacefully, his brows still as relaxed and handsome as ever, without a trace of pain.

Tao Yao gently pressed her face against his, and they stayed there quietly. The air was unbearably still, and she leaned against him, trying to catch a glimmer of life, but his chest didn't rise or fall, and she couldn't hear a single breath.
