The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

After she absorbs the spiritual energy surrounding her into her meridians, more spiritual energy will replenish her, and so on in a continuous cycle.

Only when she faintly heard the approaching sound of horses' hooves did Yue Li slowly guide the spiritual energy she had absorbed into her meridians and gather it into her dantian.

After gathering all the spiritual energy she had just absorbed into her dantian, Yue Li slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Hearing the approaching sound of hooves, Yue Li remained seated on the lush canopy of a tree.

Because she was not sure whether the carriage that had arrived was the same one Yuan Xinyi had ridden in.

Although she wanted to take revenge on Yuan Xinyi, she did not want to harm innocent people.

After all, she had put in so much effort and thought this time. Now that she had made her move, she intended to cripple Yuan Xinyi, either completely or partially.

In any case, the person in the carriage will spend the rest of their life lying in bed.

Therefore, she had to confirm that the person in the carriage was indeed Yuan Xinyi before she could take action.

Finally, a group of people came into Yue Li's view.

Yue Li parted the leaves in front of her and saw two tall, chestnut-colored horses pulling a magnificent carriage. On one side of the carriage sat a burly coachman, and on the other side sat someone Yue Li had seen before.

The servant who was helping Yuan Xinyi in the courtyard during the last time Yuan Xinyi visited Yue Li's house.

Upon seeing the servant, Yue Li was certain that the person sitting inside was Yuan Xinyi.

Because there are more men than women in this world, even high-ranking officials and nobles cannot afford to employ maids.

Therefore, whether they were daughters of officials or ladies of high birth, they all used servants.

Those who can afford to hire servants to take care of their wives and daughters are naturally powerful, influential, or wealthy.

To prevent servants from stealing from the house and having affairs with the wife or daughter while the husband was away, all those who were bought into the mansions to serve as servants had been castrated.

This is what is commonly known as a eunuch.

However, the servants who were sold into wealthy families were usually married and had children, so they were generally older.

He had been married at home and already had children. In order to support his children and wife, he went to a hymen to cleanse himself and then sold himself.

A dozen or so guards, riding tall horses and carrying long swords, surrounded the carriage, protecting it.

Yue Li glanced at it but didn't pay much attention to it. She raised her hand, gathered spiritual energy in it, and gently waved it towards the curtain of the carriage.

As the spiritual energy swept by, it was like a gentle breeze that lifted the curtains on the carriage.

Yue Li also took the opportunity to get a clear look at the situation inside the carriage.

There were three people sitting in the carriage: two men and one woman.

Yue Li didn't recognize the two men, but she could clearly see the woman—it was Yuan Xinyi, the woman she was looking for.

Since the person inside is Yuan Xinyi, then the two men must be Yuan Xinyi's two husbands.

Ignoring whether her actions might cause any harm to Yuan Xinyi's two husbands.

Just as the group was about to disappear from her sight, Yue Li transformed the spiritual energy she had gathered again into an invisible blade. With a wave of her hand, the invisible blade, imbued with a sharp aura, instantly sliced ​​through the air and struck the axle not far away.

Then came a cracking sound, the sound of the carriage axle breaking, followed by a thud, the sound of the carriage falling over.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's scream came from the overturned carriage.

Hearing Yuan Xinyi's voice, which was filled with fright and fear, Yue Li felt a sense of relief.

Then came the scene of the once orderly convoy now sprawled out in disarray.

However, being well-trained guards, after the initial panic, they began to methodically divide their forces, sending some to restrain the two frightened chestnut horses while others went to help the people in the carriage.

Since it was just a broken axle and a fall, the three people in the carriage were not injured.

Yue Li could see clearly that the most seriously injured of the three was just one of the men who dislocated his arm while protecting Yuan Xinyi.

As for the scratches on the three of them, they were just minor injuries, and Yue Li pretended not to see them.

Just as another man, who had only suffered minor scratches, was carrying Yuan Xinyi and trying to emerge from the ruins of the carriage, Yue Li struck again.

She flicked her fingertip and released spiritual energy, striking the pressure points on the man's two calves. The man, who was already unsteady on his feet due to the ruins of the train carriage, fell to the ground along with Yuan Xinyi in his arms.

Yue Li reached out and channeled her spiritual power in the direction Yuan Xinyi had fallen, using it to support her and lift her directly onto the wooden pole of the broken carriage that stood upright. Then she withdrew her spiritual power.

Without a doubt, Yuan Xinyi fell straight onto the broken wooden poles in the carriage.

A heart-wrenching scream startled the birds that were roosting in the dense forest.

Then, bright red blood flowed out from under Yuan Xinyi's body, and the moon-white dress she was wearing made the blood flowing out from under her body look even more shocking.

The man who was hit on the calf by Yue Li's spiritual power managed to stumble and run out of the ruins, landing on flat ground.

But before he could even feel relieved, he heard his wife scream in agony.

He scrambled to his feet in a panic, not even having time to brush off the dust, and looked up to see the bloodstains on the ground where his wife lay, still spreading.

The other man, who had just dislocated his arm and had come over to have the guard check it, also saw this scene, and both men turned pale instantly.

Then, both men and guards rushed towards where Yuan Xinyi was lying.

At this moment, Yuan Xinyi, after experiencing intense pain, fainted like a rag doll after letting out that cry.

Seeing this, Yue Li got up from the thick tree trunk, used her spiritual power to traverse through the dense forest, and headed towards the place where she had left her horse.

Because she knew that Yuan Xinyi would probably never be able to get up again in her life.

Because just now, she had directly slammed Yuan Xinyi's waist into the broken wooden stake, and she was absolutely certain that Yuan Xinyi's lumbar spine was broken.

In this world, only a spiritually potent elixir like the one she possesses can cure Yuan Xinyi's lumbar spine.

Otherwise, Yuan Xinyi would have to spend the rest of her life lying in bed.

However, she couldn't be 100% certain that there were no pills in this world that contained spiritual energy, since spiritual energy does exist in this world.

Although spiritual energy is scarce now, what about a hundred years ago?

Perhaps there were people who cultivated spiritual power a hundred years ago?

Perhaps there were people who knew how to make elixirs a hundred years ago?

However, she had gotten her revenge and felt relieved. Now, it was up to Yuan Xinyi's luck to decide what to do next.

If her family can really help her find a cure, then Yue Li can only marvel at her good luck.
