"Bitch!" Ye Jingcheng kicked her, stepping on her head. "I told you, if that child can't be saved, you don't need to live either."
"You poisoned the king and killed the imperial heir. You committed such treasonous acts, yet you refuse to repent and dare to be defiant. Do you think the king will spare you this time?"
Lin Yurong, pinned down by him, gasped for breath.
She forced herself to stay alert, looking at him weakly. "If Your Highness wishes to kill me, then kill me. I have nothing more to say at this point."
Mei Yan lost her child, but did I not lose my child as well?
Now I have nothing, no family left in this world, and I'm suffering from a serious illness. I'm afraid I'll die soon.
It doesn't matter anymore, it truly doesn't matter.
"Good, since that's the case, I shall grant your wish!" A fierce glint flashed in Ye Jingcheng's eyes.
He grabbed Lin Yurong by the neck and pulled her up from the ground. As his fingers tightened, Lin Yurong's face turned ashen.
She couldn't breathe, closing her eyes and struggling in pain. She felt her strength draining away, her body growing colder.
She knew she couldn't escape today, but there was still one thing left to do.
Lin Yurong desperately tried to stay conscious, leaning closer to Ye Jingcheng. Then, she lunged for his mouth and bit down hard.
She didn't hold back. Ye Jingcheng's mouth was bitten, drawing blood.
"Ugh! Damnable bitch!" Ye Jingcheng cursed, throwing her away.
Opposite her was a pile of firewood.
Lin Yurong was thrown onto the firewood.
There was a sharp splinter on the pile of firewood.
"Ah!" Lin Yurong screamed.
The splinter pierced her left eye.
But in his rage, Ye Jingcheng didn't notice, only seeing her face bleeding.
"Bitch, I'll beat you to death!" Ye Jingcheng, furious, stepped forward and kicked her.
The wooden splinter was driven deeper into her eye.
A servant knocked on the door from outside. "Your Highness, Miss Su is here."
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng stopped, glaring at Lin Yurong. "Damnable bitch, I'll deal with you when I get back!"
He spat and turned to leave.
The door to the woodshed closed, plunging the room into darkness, as if the door to 'life' had been shut, leaving only the scent of death.
Lin Yurong could no longer stand.
Her entire left eye had been pierced, and blood soon stained her chest.
She lay on the firewood, gradually fading away.
Lin Yurong never expected to die like this. This feeling of waiting for death was truly terrifying, so terrifying. xxs1
For some reason, she suddenly thought of Lin Niange, the sister she had killed with her own hands.
Although Lin Yurong knew very well that if she could do it all over again, she would still do the same, still harbor murderous intent towards Lin Niange.
Yet, she couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she hadn't fallen out with her sister.
Her sister had always doted on her since childhood, giving her whatever she wanted.
"I'm sorry, in the end, I failed your affection." Lin Yurong said with a bitter smile, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Her body gradually lost strength, and her vision grew dim.
Now, no one would come to help or save her. The only person who had truly cared for her had long since been burned to death in the fire by her.
Now, only death awaited her.
A long time later, Lin Yurong was completely still, and the woodshed was filled with the smell of blood.
Su Yunmo was invited to wait in the front hall after arriving at the mansion.
When Ye Jingcheng rushed over, Su Yunmo was peeling an orange.
"You're quite leisurely. To be in such good spirits even when you've arrived at my place is truly amusing." Ye Jingcheng strode in, his tone laced with mockery.
Hearing his sarcastic voice, Su Yunmo raised an eyebrow and stuffed the orange in her hand into her mouth.
The orange was very cold, chilling her teeth.
Su Yunmo couldn't help but frown, then crossed her arms and looked at the man opposite her. "If you called me here just to argue, then I think you can find someone else."
At this hour, she would normally have finished lunch and be taking a nap. She really didn't have the time to waste words with him here.
Ye Jingcheng's face turned ugly at being retorted, but he knew he needed her help today, so he didn't argue further.
He walked up to Su Yunmo and said in a commanding tone, "I've been poisoned. I called you here to detoxify me."
Su Yunmo scoffed, crossing her legs. "Are you out of your mind? Why should I detoxify you? Who do you think you are?"
She called him 'Prince Lian,' and he truly thought he was that noble?
Let alone that he had been stripped of his princely title, even before that, he had no right to command her.
Rather than asking her to save his life, it would be quicker to ask her to send him to his death.
Ye Jingcheng took a deep breath. "What do you want? Just say it."
If there was anyone in this world who could detoxify, it was her.
Lin Yurong was determined to die and would never hand over the antidote. He had no other option but to find Su Yunmo.
Su Yunmo's eyes flickered, and she raised her eyebrows with a smile. "Prince Lian, considering your current status, what do you have that's worth me asking for?"
The Prince Lian's mansion was now an empty shell, with nothing left.
Su Yunmo's words instantly brought Ye Jingcheng back to reality.
His face turned grim, and he clenched his fists tightly.
This damned girl was right. He truly had nothing good to give her.
Moreover, she had now allied with Ye Jingyu to bring him to his lowest point. There was nothing that would satisfy her more than his current state.
Seeing his expression, Su Yunmo knew he had understood. She changed the subject. "However, I do want someone."
Ye Jingcheng's heart leaped. "Who?"
"Lin Yurong!" A sharp glint flashed in Su Yunmo's eyes as she said each word deliberately.
Ye Jingcheng was one thing, but she had both personal vendettas and family grievances with Lin Yurong!
Ye Jingcheng didn't know what Su Yunmo wanted Lin Yurong for, but he didn't have the energy to ask. "Alright, I promise you."
In any case, that bitch was going to die sooner or later. Using her to exchange for the antidote, he wasn't losing out.
With that thought, Ye Jingcheng called out to his personal guard to bring Lin Yurong.
Then he looked at Su Yunmo and extended his hand. "The antidote."
Su Yunmo raised an eyebrow, took out the bottle of antidote Ye Ningyuan had given her from her怀, and after a moment's thought, took out another bottle of medicine from her glazed lock.
She took out one pill from each bottle and handed them over. "Just take them with tea. However, you'd better be careful. My medicine not only detoxifies but also has some side effects."
Ye Jingcheng took the medicine, strode to the table, poured a cup of tea, and swallowed the pills. "Such things don't matter."
What were a few side effects compared to the fear of death?
As soon as the medicine went down, Ye Jingcheng felt all his pores open, but his stomach churned.
Soon, he vomited two mouthfuls of black blood and slumped onto the chair, feeling as if his body had become transparent like a glass ball.
