The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Recalling the events before he lost consciousness, a chill ran down his spine.

She was lying face down on the cold stone slab beneath her, which made her body stiff with cold, and a foul, rotten smell emanated from her mouth and nose.

Although I don't know where I am, this is definitely not a good place.

As if sensing that she had woken up, a woman's voice came to her ears.

"Miss Fang, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

At the same time, a faint light appeared in front of them.

The light made Fang Qingyou slightly uncomfortable. She squinted and saw that she was probably in a prison cell, with two female figures standing outside the cell.

One of them was the very person who had just spoken to him.

Fang Qingyou stared at the two women for a long time before finally finding one in her mind.

"Shi Wantong?"

The other woman, whose face appeared to have bloodstains, was unrecognizable to her. She only knew that this woman was the one who had bumped into her carriage and knocked her unconscious.

"Fang Qingyou, now that you recognize me, you should know you can't escape my grasp, right?" Shi Wantong's face was gloomy as she looked at Fang Qingyou, who was now locked up in a cell, and she felt very pleased.

I expected to see fear in Fang Qingyou's eyes, but to my surprise, her eyes were completely calm.

"Cousin, Miss Fang is probably still clinging to a sliver of hope that she can escape from here. Why don't you tell her where this place is?"

The woman next to Shi Wantong spoke, and Fang Qingyou recognized her as Du Mengfu.

That address of "Miss Fang" contained so much sarcasm and resentment.

Her expression remained unchanged, but her heart tightened slightly. No wonder she had fallen into Shi Wantong's hands; it turned out that the person who had been devising the plan for her was Du Mengfu.

Upon hearing Du Mengfu call her "cousin," a flash of disgust crossed Shi Wantong's eyes. However, it must be said that Du Mengfu had indeed reminded her of something.

Fang Qingyou is cunning and calculating; she probably won't be afraid until she understands her own situation.

Now, she is about to expose the cruel truth to her.

"Fang Qingyou, this is the Shi family's secret prison, filled with my people inside and out. You are destined not to escape. But don't worry, I won't take your life. Killing you would be too easy for you, wouldn't it?" Shi Wantong sneered, a layer of malice appearing in her eyes.

"Fang Qingyou, you vixen, how dare you seduce Young Master Gu! Young Master Gu is too naive to be fooled by you. Today, I will ruin you and see how you will seduce Young Master Gu in the future!"

Shi Wantong will never forget that it was Fang Qingyou who dragged her down from her position as one of the most talented women in the capital, that it was Fang Qingyou who ruined her reputation, and that it was Fang Qingyou who made it impossible for her and Gu Jinyi to ever be together again!

Although her family had arranged a marriage for her, that man was nowhere near as good as Young Master Gu.

The thought of marrying someone else filled Shi Wantong with hatred that slithered like a venomous snake.

Fang Qingyou naturally wouldn't forget the grudge between her and Shi Wantong, but she still kindly explained, "Shi Wantong, I think you've misunderstood. Young Master Gu and I are just friends."

Just as Shi Wantong was about to rebuke Fang Qingyou for trying to fool her, Fang Qingyou suddenly changed the subject, a sarcastic smile curving her lips: "However, Shi Wantong, I think you haven't recognized yourself. Do you think Young Master Gu would take a liking to you? Unless he's blind! No, that's not right. Even if Young Master Gu were blind, he wouldn't take a liking to you, because he's as clear-headed as a mirror, how could he be bewitched by you?"

"You, Fang Qingyou, you, you bitch..." Shi Wantong was furious and wanted nothing more than to drag Fang Qingyou out of the prison and tear her to pieces with her own hands to vent her hatred.

However, as if she had seen through her intentions, Du Mengfu immediately stopped her: "Cousin, don't be impulsive. She can only satisfy her momentary urge to speak."

Du Mengfu had witnessed Fang Qingyou's methods of using poison and was afraid of her, fearing that Shi Wantong might be provoked and rashly release Fang Qingyou.

At that time, they might not have another chance to catch her.

“You’re right. Once I’ve ruined her, no matter how beautiful she is, I doubt Young Master Gu will be interested in her anymore. He might even find her disgusting.”

Shi Wantong calmed down a little, but Fang Qingyou's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Shi Wantong was impatient and, although she was somewhat cunning, she was still manageable. However, Du Mengfu was meticulous and extremely difficult to deal with.

She had already noticed that her outer clothes had been stripped off, leaving her only in a thin undergarment, and that the poison in her body had also been taken away.

Now, she can only rely on herself.

However, the situation became exceptionally difficult when facing Du Mengfu.

At this moment, she was almost certain what Shi Wantong and Du Mengfu would do to her, and it was impossible for her not to be afraid.

She had deliberately provoked Shi Wantong, firstly to get her closer to her or to get herself out of the cell, and secondly to buy herself some time.

She fired a signal flare before being kidnapped, and Luo Qianmo would definitely come to rescue her if he saw it.

The fear in my heart seemed to be soothed when I thought of that tall, slender figure.

Whenever she was in danger, this man would rush out to protect her, which always made her feel exceptionally safe.

"Shi Wantong, you're oversimplifying things. When you arrested me, you caused such a commotion in the capital. Did you think you could cover it all up quietly? I am the Princess of Ping'an, personally appointed by the Emperor. If anything happens to me, the Emperor will definitely hold you accountable. You dared to kidnap a court official right under the nose of the nation—that's a grave crime of disrespecting imperial authority. At that time, not only you, but your entire Shi family will likely be implicated. Do you really intend to disregard the lives of a hundred members of the Shi family for your own selfish desires?"

A crack appeared in Shi Wantong's smile. Tonight's events had indeed not gone unnoticed. If the Emperor were to investigate her, the entire Shi family would be buried with her.

Seeing that Shi Wantong's expression was beginning to soften, Du Mengfu said anxiously, "Cousin, don't believe this vixen's lies. She's just a county princess with no real power. Even if she were to disappear or die, the Emperor wouldn't care. Besides, cousin, have you forgotten who prevented you from being with Young Master Gu?"

Shi Wantong suddenly turned her gaze to Fang Qingyou. How could she forget that this person was Fang Qingyou?

Seeing this, Du Mengfu was secretly delighted and immediately added fuel to the fire, saying, "Cousin, besides, we're not going to kill her. After tonight, Princess Ping'an will definitely appear in the capital safely."
