Chapter 54: No Mercy
“Is Sister’s body… healed?”
Li Qinghe only now noticed that Li Xuanyue’s complexion looked much rosier than when she saw her in the Hall of Central Harmony.
A flicker of gloom flashed through her eyes.
This bitch!
No wonder she always felt something was wrong before.
Her inner suspicions were completely correct.
This bitch knew she was poisoning her all along.
So she had been playing her all this time!
Li Xuanyue certainly knew what Li Qinghe meant by asking this.
She brushed the sleeve of her right hand and asked softly in return:
“Don’t tell me you hope This Princess’s body will never get better?”
Doesn’t this sister of hers get tired of pretending in front of her for so long?
It made her want to rip off that hypocritical face right now.
In fact, Li Xuanyue did exactly that next.
The smile on Li Qinghe’s face froze. “How could that be!”
“If Sister gets better, Younger Sister will be the happiest.”
Li Xuanyue curled her lips into a smile. “Is that so?”
Her airy tone carried a trace of bloodthirsty coldness.
If she believed what Li Qinghe said, she would be a fool.
Li Qinghe was probably cursing her in her heart right now, wishing she would die quickly.
How could she hope for her health to be good?
After all, the first thing she did after gaining power in her past life was to personally send her to her death.
“Since Younger Sister is so happy for Elder Sister, it shouldn’t be too much for Elder Sister to cut two ounces of flesh from you now, right?”
As soon as Li Xuanyue finished speaking, she gave Yinxin a look.
Yinxin, understanding immediately, saw the meaning in Li Xuanyue’s eyes and walked straight towards Li Qinghe.
She had long been unhappy with Li Qinghe.
Previously, relying on Li Xuanyue’s backing, Li Qinghe didn’t even put her personal maid in her eyes.
Ordering Yinxin around every time.
Today, Yinxin finally had the chance to vent this anger.
“You, what do you want to do?”
Li Qinghe’s originally smiling face instantly turned into panic. “Sister, this is Qionghua Hall. Mother Empress will definitely pass by here later.”
The implication was if you dare do anything to me here, Mother Empress definitely won’t let you off.
Li Xuanyue shrugged indifferently.
“So what?”
She didn’t take Li Qinghe’s threat seriously at all.
“Do you think Mother Empress cares about you?”
Leaving aside how busy Li Feng was now.
Just the fact that Li Qinghe could get out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony back then was all thanks to her.
If she hadn’t gone to Li Feng to persuade her back then, Li Qinghe wouldn’t have today’s glory and stability.
It’s one thing not to be grateful.
But to actually conspire with Fang Zheng behind her back to poison her.
Did she really take her for a fool?
The killing intent in Li Xuanyue’s eyes was clearly visible.
Li Qinghe was so scared she could only keep calling out to the person beside her, “Ruyue, Ruyue!”
Hoping she could quickly stand up and help stop all this from happening.
Seeing this, how could Ruyue dare continue to be dazed? She hurriedly knelt at Li Xuanyue’s feet.
“Princess spare her life, Princess spare her life, please let my master go!”
“I beg you!”
Ruyue was genuinely pleading for Li Qinghe.
The sound of kowtowing naturally wasn’t fake.
Every knock used full strength.
Before long, blood seeped from her forehead.
A flash of disgust crossed Li Xuanyue’s eyes. “Truly a good dog!”
“Fine, for the sake of you having such a loyal person by your side, This Princess will let you off for today.”
Li Xuanyue signaled Yinxin with her eyes to let go, then slowly stepped in front of Li Qinghe, warning her.
“But if there is a next time, This Princess will definitely not let you off!”
Li Xuanyue’s reputation as “deranged” didn’t come from nowhere.
When her madness flared up, she really was no different from a lunatic.
Even if she accidentally hurt Li Qinghe then, she would have a chance to explain.
It wasn’t likely anyone would really do anything to her!
Li Qinghe was scared to the ground by Li Xuanyue’s fierce expression just now.
This was probably the first time in three years she had seen Li Xuanyue show such a ferocious appearance in front of her.
In the past, Li Xuanyue had always been amiable and ingratiating towards Li Qinghe.
This made her forget that Li Xuanyue could be so terrifying when she went mad, disowning even her own kin.
And disregarding any location or occasion.
This simply infuriated her to death.
“Princess, are you alright!”
Seeing the other party walk away, Ruyue immediately scrambled to Li Qinghe’s side to help her up.
For a moment just now, Ruyue really thought Li Xuanyue was going to kill Li Qinghe.
She was almost worried to death.
Fortunately, the other party finally let Li Qinghe go.
Otherwise, Ruyue wouldn’t have known what to do.
“Ru, Ruyue, do you think she’s crazy?”
Li Qinghe asked, trembling as she stood up with Ruyue’s support.
Her body was still immersed in that fear just now.
She really hadn’t expected Li Xuanyue to be so bold.
To dare lay a hand on her outside the Imperial Garden of Qionghua Hall.
She really wanted her dead!
Did she take the wrong medicine?
Ruyue looked around. “Princess, there are many people here. Let’s go back and talk!”
Although no one saw the scene just now.
But to avoid attracting the attention of those guards and maids.
Ruyue felt that even if Li Qinghe had something on her mind now, she should go back and say it.
To avoid gossip.
Otherwise, if it reached Li Xuanyue’s ears, it would definitely stir up more trouble.
Li Xuanyue’s rude behavior towards Li Qinghe just now really made Yinxin feel relieved.
Therefore, after returning to Fenghe Hall, the smile on Yinxin’s lips never dropped.
“Princess, you finally woke up!”
Yinxin looked at Li Xuanyue excitedly.
Li Xuanyue gave Yinxin a look asking what nonsense are you talking about.
“Do you really think This Princess is stupid?”
She slowly opened her mouth to defend herself: “This Princess knows best what kind of person my good sister is.”
“Then why didn’t the Princess teach her a lesson before?”
Yinxin asked in confusion.
She could sense that Li Qinghe had changed a lot since the wedding with the five consorts.
But she had never dared to be sure.
Until the moment she acted against Li Qinghe today.
Yinxin dared to be certain.
Before, Li Xuanyue and Li Qinghe had always been deeply sisterly.
Even when Yinxin spoke ill of Li Qinghe in front of her, she wouldn’t allow it.
But today Li Xuanyue let Yinxin act against Li Qinghe.
Yinxin could perceive that the sisterly bond between Li Xuanyue and Li Qinghe was no longer as deep as before.
Li Xuanyue looked deeply at Yinxin and said pretentiously, “Because the time wasn’t right!”
“In short, after this time, This Princess will show her no mercy.”
She ordered Yinxin: “In the future, you don’t need to bow when you see her. Act as you should.”
