Feng Yexuan had not failed to hear Consort Jin's cries for help.
But he knew, at least, that Chu Qianli still had her senses.
Moreover, to take revenge on someone, killing them was not the best method; she knew that in her heart.
Making her wish she were dead was the most terrible punishment.
Therefore, he believed she would spare Consort Jin's life.
And for that reason, he had truly walked away.
He had promised not to interfere, and at least, he had to keep his word.
The guards also walked far outside the courtyard. If the prince did not interfere, they dared not act rashly.
Only, they wondered what exactly Miss Li had done to Consort Jin that made her scream so miserably?
In fact, Chu Qianli had done nothing. She was just playing with a tiny object in her hand.
Consort Jin could not see clearly what it was, but it looked like a worm?
"Chu Qianli, what exactly do you want to do?"
"What else do I need to do? Isn't your fate already miserable enough?"
After Feng Yexuan left, the calmness in Chu Qianli's eyes gradually turned cold.
Now, facing Consort Jin, she smiled gently again.
That smile again!
The moment Consort Jin saw it, she felt a paralyzing fear.
"Don't come near! How dare you! If you dare to harm me, Xuan'er will not let you go. I am Xuan'er's imperial mother!"
Thinking of this, Consort Jin still tried to calm herself.
That's right, at least she was still Prince Xuan's imperial mother.
And she, merely the daughter of a singer, a mere concubine!
Tonight, it was because Xuan'er suddenly knew he had lost a child and was grief-stricken that he indulged her.
When Xuan'er calmed down tomorrow, he would realize how terrifying this woman was!
"Tonight's events, you orchestrated them, didn't you?"
She knew it. This bitch Chu Qianli was always cautious. How could she have gone to kill her with a knife, knowing her acupoints were sealed and she couldn't possibly kill her?
It was indeed a scheme!
It was all designed by this bitch!
"Didn't your own people personally admit the truth, so that Prince Xuan would know?"
Words without proof. Chu Qianli had known this for a long time, so Feng Yexuan might not believe what she said.
But if he found the answer himself, that would be another matter.
"You are ruthless! You are truly ruthless!"
Consort Jin pointed at her. Although she was weak, she gritted her teeth with all her might.
"Without you saying a word, you could turn the tables! Bitch! You vicious bitch!"
"Am I vicious?" Chu Qianli merely looked at her coldly, her expressionless face: "I just let him discover the truth himself. How am I vicious?"
"On the contrary, Consort Jin, you didn't even spare your own son's child. Who in this world is more vicious than you?"
"That bastard was not qualified to be Xuan'er's child at all! I was just clearing all obstacles for him!"
Even now, Consort Jin didn't think her actions were wrong!
"I was thinking of Xuan'er's future!"
"Is that so?" Unfortunately, Chu Qianli wouldn't believe a single word she said.
She narrowed her eyes, her voice like ice: "You were only thinking of yourself! You were just afraid that after my child was born, I would gain favor with Prince Xuan through my child, and endanger your low status!"
Consort Jin was stunned, and for a moment, she couldn't refute anything.
"What? Was I right? What a filial mother image, yet the most terrifying and malicious mother!"
Consort Jin gritted her teeth, looking at her, her chest heaving continuously.
Her thoughts exposed, Consort Jin no longer pretended.
"You still know that I am Prince Xuan's imperial mother, so you should know that no matter how unfilial he is, he will not kill his mother for you!"
Consort Jin was confident about this.
"He will not let you kill me! If you dare to touch me, Xuan'er will surely kill you!"
"When did I say I would kill you?" Wasn't this situation more terrifying to this woman than death?
"I knew you absolutely wouldn't dare!" Consort Jin became smug again.
But then she heard Chu Qianli sneer: "Don't you know yet that Prince Xuan has requested an imperial decree from the Emperor to strip you of your title as Imperial Concubine, and to announce to the world that you are no longer related to Prince Xuan and the Fourteenth Prince?"
"What did you say?" Consort Jin's face suddenly changed dramatically!
"Impossible! Impossible! Xuan'er would never do this to me! Impossible!"
"I personally watched him write the memorial, and I personally watched him seal it and order it to be sent."
She might not believe it, but facts were facts.
Consort Jin stared at her fiercely, her eyeballs almost bulging out.
"Chu Qianli, if you harm me like this, you will not have a good end!"
"Even if Xuan'er likes you now, so what? You are merely the daughter of a singer, you are not qualified to be the Empress at all!"
"The Emperor is choosing a consort for Xuan'er, and Xuan'er will soon have a new favorite. You won't be smug for too long! You won't, ha, hahaha..."
But Consort Jin's laughter abruptly stopped when she saw the worm in her hand again.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do to me?"
"How long I can be smug seems to have nothing to do with Consort Jin anymore. After all, you are about to lose your sight!"
"What are you doing?" Consort Jin watched her walk towards her step by step, trembling all over with fear.
Although she didn't know what the worm in her hand was, she had a great sense of unease.
She seemed to have guessed something...
"In the Youyi tribe, there is a kind of蛊术 (gu術 - sorcery). It allows the蛊虫 (gu蟲 - sorcery worm) to burrow into a person's body, and then it can gnaw at the person's flesh bit by bit from within."
"Until, in the end, the person's flesh and blood is completely devoured."
She suddenly flicked her hand!
Consort Jin didn't even have time to see clearly where the worm in her hand went.
It seemed... it seemed to have been thrown onto her.
Afterward, she felt a sharp pain in her body, and a place seemed to have been bitten.
"Ah! Ah..."
Consort Jin's face turned ashen with fear, and she screamed frantically: "Ah! Take it away, take it away... Ah! Ah! Don't bite me, don't... don't bite me, don't... Ah! Ah ah ah..."
When Chu Qianli left the room, Consort Jin was still howling.
Closing the door, she glanced at the "worm" in her hand.
What sorcery? As someone from the 21st century, how could she understand it?
This was not a worm at all, but a toy fake worm bought from Taobao.
It was just that when she "threw the worm" just now, she had flicked a silver needle.
With her acupoints sealed, the force was not strong, but brushing past Consort Jin's neck, it felt like being bitten by a real worm.
This made Consort Jin believe that a sorcery worm had truly entered her body.
As soon as she walked out the door, she unexpectedly encountered Feng Jinrui, who was coming towards her.
Feng Jinrui was also a little stunned, not expecting to meet her at this time.
"Fourth Prince..."
Before he could say anything, Consort Jin's screams came from the side room in the distance.
Feng Jinrui's heart tightened: "You... what did you do to her?"
