Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Ji Shumin glanced at the two tongues and gestured to the little eunuch with his chin.

The man, writhing and howling on the ground in excruciating pain from his severed hand, was kicked over by a nearby eunuch.

The young eunuch squatted down, his face showing undisguised disgust, and lifted his face with his hand, making him face the two still brightly colored tongues in the brocade box.

Those two tongues looked like they had just been cut off from a living person; they were bloody and very fresh.

"Ugh—" The man instantly vomited, tears and snot streaming down his face. He desperately tried to turn and escape, but the little eunuch held him down tightly.

"An, be quiet, understand, understand? Otherwise...your...your tongue will also be...put inside!"

The little eunuch grinned, trying to look fierce, but he just had a gloomy, downcast face.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what he looks like, in the man's eyes he's just a little devil.

The person whose face I haven't been able to see since he came in, the only thing I can see are his black shoes with spotless soles, and who seems unapproachable just by sitting there.

It is a demon, it is an Asura.

He used his remaining hand to cover his mouth tightly, his survival instinct causing him to choke until his eyes rolled back in his head.

Seeing that he had finally quieted down, the little eunuch released him and kicked him aside.

Pick up the brocade box again and pour the two tongues inside into the depression at the bottom of the container.

The clay was filled in, and Ji Shumin patiently patted it flat with a small shovel.

"Bring me my seal," he ordered.

The seal representing His Highness the Crown Prince's supreme status, second only to the Emperor, was rubbing onto the outside of this container called a "flowerpot" as if it were child's play.

Absurd and bizarre, like the Crown Prince's hands, which hold life and death in their hands and are used to wielding a pen and a sword, but are now pressed into the mud.

"Consider this the first gift I give to the Crown Princess when she enters the palace." Ji Shumin moved his wheelchair back a few steps, carefully examining his work, his eyes revealing genuine and unadulterated appreciation.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess... Your Highness will definitely... like it..." The little eunuch's eyes darted around as he flattered her obsequiously.

"Ha, a creature that loves to crawl through dog holes, I don't expect her to appreciate my gift." Ji Shumin chuckled.

The person who had been standing silently to the side, seeing that neither master nor servant spoke, then spoke in a flat tone as if he had not heard anything just now: "Your Highness, please advise on how to deal with this person."

"Releasing them out will only bring trouble, who knows which lady they'll be eyeing..." Ji Shumin said casually.

His words implied that he completely attributed the act of bullying Lu Liruan to Lu Liruan's own thoughts.

"I've heard that some filthy people like married women or girls who are already betrothed. I suppose this filthy woman is one of them."

As he spoke, he dipped his hands into the basin of water on the shelf, slowly washing each of his slender fingers.

The water in the basin seemed extremely cold, causing his joints to turn an unnatural red.

"Your Highness, I did not mean to..." Knowing his fate would be absolutely miserable, the man mustered his courage and tried to defend himself.

"Someone instructed me! I'm willing to tell Your Highness everything!"

"Ha...I don't want to listen to your nonsense!" Ji Shumin raised his hand and splashed the basin of water he had used to wash his hands all over the man's face.

The man opened his mouth to shout, but a basin of water was poured over his head and into his mouth, causing him to cough violently.

Why is nobody listening to me?!

Don't you all want to know my identity and who's behind this?

That person felt both despair and disbelief.

In fact, he had a bad feeling when the Lu family girl resisted. How could an ordinary woman have such strange strength?

That might not be a girl from the Lu family at all, but someone else in disguise...

When he was thrown to the ground, he cried out for mercy, hoping to exchange his life for the person behind the scenes.

To everyone's surprise... the woman didn't even listen to what he was saying, and a pillowcase was stuffed inside.

Why doesn't anyone want to know who's behind this? Doesn't anyone realize that what I did wasn't just a lustful act towards that Miss Lu, but a targeted conspiracy?

I really don't like married women!

This was the last thought in that person's mind before he lost consciousness from blood loss.

Actually, he misunderstood Lu Liruan.

Lu Liruan did hear what he said at the time, but because of the situation, she was worried that if she delayed even for a moment, she would put herself in a more dangerous situation.

After all, Lu Liruan knew all too well that she couldn't waste time with the villains, otherwise, it would likely create unnecessary complications and add to the plot – a golden rule.

So Lu Liruan chose to solve the problem at its source, making him unable to say a word or move an inch, so that he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, right?

"Get it down there. You know how to clean it up." Ji Shumin's pale face showed signs of fatigue in the dim candlelight.

Since his injury, his health has deteriorated significantly. He is prone to feeling cold, easily fatigued, and so brittle that he needs to be summoned by the imperial physician every few days. Torturous pain accompanies him day and night.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, you...you should rest early." The little eunuch knelt on the ground, curled up in a ball, and advised.

"Bring the medicine."

Inside the exquisite medicine box made of seashells were small, bright vermilion pills.

Ji Shumin picked up a pill, swallowed it with water, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his complexion eased a little, and the pain gradually subsided.

Lu Liruan didn't tell anyone about her experience today, and after returning to her residence, she acted as if nothing had happened.

Because she knew nothing, Lu Liruan was on tenterhooks for two days, worried that something might happen, but nothing did.

What Lu Liruan didn't know was that the third son of a sixth-rank official in the capital had disappeared without a trace, no matter how hard the family searched, they couldn't find a single clue.

A perfectly healthy man, the son of an official, vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air...

The morning after the palace banquet ended, a laundry worker was delivering clothes to the concubines when, on the way, he saw two women floating on the water in a secluded pond, their faces contorted in a grotesque manner.

Both women were dressed in palace maids' clothes, their open mouths were empty, their tongues missing at the root.

Although deaths are common in the palace, such a vicious and cruel act still alarmed the ladies who jointly held the Phoenix Seal.

Because there was absolutely no clue, and they couldn't even figure out which palace the two palace maids belonged to, the emperor was alarmed.

There was much discussion in the imperial court.

On the surface, the message is that the murderer must be found quickly to protect public safety.

Privately, people were saying: What was the purpose of this move?

The purpose of cutting off the tongue is probably to prevent people from speaking and leaking information.

If the tongue had already been cut off, why kill the person and blatantly throw them into the pool?

Was the tongue cut out for torture?

However, the purpose of torture should be to extract information from the other party, so cutting off the tongue is even more unreasonable.
