Chapter 114 You are my companions on the road to the underworld
At this moment, Yun Mushu, who had been enduring the excruciating pain, could no longer hold on. He reached out and tugged at the princess's sleeve, saying weakly, "Auntie, please be kind and give her another 100,000 taels of silver. Consider this a loan from you, and I will repay you double in the future."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's eyes flashed with a subtle hint of ferocity, but it vanished in an instant. She thought to herself, "Hmph! I'll just give in to you for now and give you the money. After I cure King Yunqing, I'll see how I'll deal with you! If you go against me, I'll make sure you live in agony and regret it for the rest of your life!"
Thinking of this, the princess took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage burning within her, but her chest still rose and fell. With a gloomy expression, she said in a cold voice, "Hurry up and go to the accounting office to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver. Hurry!"
As soon as the words fell, a little maid rushed out like the wind. Not long after, the maid was trotting all the way, clutching the silver note of 100,000 taels tightly in her hand, and hurriedly entered the room.
She did not dare to delay for even a moment and went straight to Ye Chuxue, respectfully handing the banknote to Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue took the banknote nonchalantly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. She said softly, "The Princess is truly generous. She is so wealthy and willful. I, a commoner, really admire her!"
"Stop talking nonsense here! Detoxify King Yunqing as soon as possible!" The eldest princess frowned and urged impatiently.
Ye Chuxue calmly put the banknote into her arms, then walked lightly to Yun Mushu's side. She turned her wrist slightly, and several slender silver needles appeared in her hand.
Then, she raised her needle and pierced Yun Mushu's neck accurately with lightning speed.
In an instant, Yun Mushu felt a cool feeling spread throughout his body, and the unbearable pain disappeared in an instant.
However, before he could recover from the surprise, Ye Chuxue attacked again, grabbed his dislocated arm, and pushed it upwards.
There was a crisp "click" sound, followed by Yun Mushu's heart-wrenching scream that resounded throughout the room.
The eldest princess's eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide open, and she roared in anger, "Doctor Shi, what are your intentions? I have already paid for your consultation, how dare you hurt Prince Yunqing!"
At this moment, Ye Chuxue calmly and leisurely took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped her hands. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "It was because you accepted the consultation fee that I was kind enough to treat his dislocated arm as well.
If the princess is dissatisfied with this, I can just break it back." After saying this, she made a gesture to stretch out her jade hand to grab Yun Mushu.
Ye Chuxue's actions startled Yun Mushu so much that he stood up abruptly, his face full of surprise and a hint of fear. He waved his newly healed arm frantically, shaking his head repeatedly and saying anxiously, "No need, no need. The princess has absolutely no such intention. Please don't misunderstand me, Master Doctor Shi!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue simply glanced at him sideways, then began to speak in a serious manner, "Prince Yunqing, to prevent the Princess from going back on her word, I am only temporarily suppressing the toxins in your body. In three days, someone will deliver the antidote pills to Prince Qing's residence and give them to you."
Having said that, Su Ye suddenly paused. He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a chilling light flashing in his eyes. He stared straight at the eldest princess. The dangerous aura revealed in his eyes made everyone present gasp.
He said coldly, "So, Princess, please put aside those inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible. Since I was able to poison Prince Yunqing without anyone noticing, then it would be easy for me to take your lives without making a sound."
After saying this, a resolute smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "If you don't believe what I say, you can give it a try. Anyway, my worthless life is far less noble than yours. If that day ever comes, and I have you by my side on the road to the underworld, I will be content."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chuxue glanced at Ouyang Zhi lightly, then turned around without hesitation and strode towards the door.
Her resolute back was like a gust of cold wind, instantly making the tense and depressing atmosphere in the room even colder.
Only the eldest princess and Yun Mushu were left, their faces ashen with anger, their chests heaving violently, and they had a rage in their hearts that had nowhere to vent.
At this moment, Yun Muheng also raised his leg and prepared to walk out, but before he could take a few steps, Yun Mushu angrily blocked his way.
Yun Mushu's face was gloomy, and he asked in a bad tone, "Ye Xinrou, you must let her go today! She is your sister-in-law!"
Hearing this, a smile slowly spread across Yun Muheng's handsome face, but within that smile was a clear hint of sarcasm: "Haha, may I ask, my royal brother, when did Ye Xinrou become my sister-in-law? Is there an imperial decree personally issued by the Emperor granting the marriage? Or is there a jade disc recorded in the royal records as proof?"
After hearing Yun Muheng's question, Yun Mushu was stunned for a moment, his mind blank, not knowing how to respond. After all, the things mentioned didn't exist at all.
Yun Muheng, however, took his silence as a sign of guilt. Seeing the evasiveness in his eyes, he couldn't help but curl his lips in a mocking smile. "If that's the case, then what's the point of being the Emperor's sister-in-law? Could she sit in this position simply by relying on a fabricated title?"
Then, Yun Muheng pretended to suddenly remember something and said with sudden enlightenment, "Oh! I do remember now. My Royal Brother, you took away her virginity. It is reasonable that you should be held responsible for this. However... she is just a concubine's daughter, of low status. I am afraid she cannot match the noble status of your Royal Brother's wife. If I only treat her as a concubine, she probably can't bear the honorific title of 'Imperial Sister-in-law'!"
After saying this, Yun Muheng turned and strode towards the door. Just as he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly stopped, then slowly turned around and said in an unquestionable tone, "It's not impossible for me to let her go, but you must go and ask the princess. As long as the princess agrees, I will naturally have no objections."
The eldest princess, standing nearby, heard this, and a hint of cruelty flashed across her beautiful eyes. She thought to herself, "It seems I really must go to the Yunxin Palace and meet Ye Chuxue! This is a perfect opportunity to settle all the grievances Qianqian has suffered!" With this thought, the eldest princess clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination.
