Cang Yue replied, “This servant thinks my lady would not want Concubine Xu to die so quickly.”
“Hehe…” Her gaze was clear, her expression calm. “Cang Yue truly understands me. Indeed, I want to torture her slowly, starting with her son. How about that?”
Cang Yue was shocked by Xu Qiu’er’s laughter.
Guan Yue was not an ordinary woman; her strength exceeded that of average women. She beat Xu Qing’er until she was dizzy. After regaining consciousness, Xu Qing’er shouted, “Xu Qiu’er, just wait until the prince returns, I will definitely tell him about you and Hao Li…” Her expression changed as she turned to Xu Qiu’er, who coldly said, “Should this palace send something to your son?” She pondered this, seemingly troubled.
“If you have the guts, come at me, don’t touch my son,” Xu Qing’er angrily spat at Xu Qiu’er.
“My lady.” Cang Yue stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to Xu Qiu’er, who took it and gently wiped her face.
“Let Xu Liang’s concubine see the so-called harem rules.” She sat down.
Ah…
Xu Qing’er gathered her strength, trembling as she tried to get up, wanting to escape. Her body ached, and she stubbornly tried to crawl forward. Bing’er covered her mouth and cried, “I want to find the prince; how can you treat my lady like this…”
Xu Qiu’er sneered, “Since you care so much about your mistress, come along.” She continued sipping her top-grade Dahongpao tea without looking up.
After a pause, her expression calmed, a layer of icy frost covering her beautiful face, making the palace servants shudder.
As the wind rose, plum blossoms fell with the snow, brushing against her face. “My lady, she has passed out.”
Xu Qiu’er showed no reaction, reclining on the soft couch. “Wake her up, continue.”
A slap echoed, causing Xu Qiu’er’s teacup to shatter on the ground. She moved to Xu Qing’er’s front and pressed down on her body, porcelain shards sinking into her knees. The pain was sharp and vivid. Xu Qing’er screamed, crying miserably. Xu Qiu’er watched the blood flow from Xu Qing’er’s knee, remarking, “Look, this way we’ve even saved water.”
