Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Daniu’s eyes were initially filled with anger and sadness. After hearing Wen Xiu’s words, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly pounced towards Xiao Zeyu. The guards at the side hurriedly came over to stop him. However, for some reason, Li Daniu’s strength was so great that he sent two guards flying He didn’t even pause for a moment before rushing in front of Xiao Zeyu and reaching out to strangle him.
The Xiao Family’s Army rushed over to protect the Emperor, slashing their weapons at Li Daniu.
“Don’t hurt him.”
Xiao Zeyu ordered loudly,
“Just trap him.”
He knew that Li Daniu had been poisoned, but he did not know what kind of poison it was. Suddenly, his strength increased significantly, and he was like a zombie who was not afraid of knives and spears. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could not think.
He couldn’t watch his good brother get killed. Qiu Yongkang’s betrayal had to be eliminated, but Li Daniu was under a spell. He couldn’t do anything about it so that Xiao Zeyu couldn’t kill him.
Wen Xiu looked at Xiao Zeyu with a strange smile as if she was watching a good show. It was great to have the brothers kill each other. She wanted to see how long Xiao Zeyu could continue to pretend to be benevolent and righteous.
If he killed Li Daniu today, he would be harming his sworn brother. The world would despise him, and his reputation would be ruined.
“Dig out her eyes.”
Xiao Zeyu suddenly gave an order to the guard who was controlling Wen Xiu. Wen Xiu’s expression changed drastically. She struggled with all her might and shouted heartbreakingly,
“You’re not human! You’re not human! You’re a beast! Longevity Heaven, strike him with lightning! Strike him with lightning! Father, Second Brother, take him away!”
Her voice was filled with fear as she watched the guard come over with a knife to gouge out her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered to let Li Daniu attack Xiao Zeyu anymore as she shouted for help at the top of her lungs,
“Li Daniu, save me, save me.”
The Xiao Family Army surrounded Li Daniu. Because Xiao Zeyu did not allow the soldiers to use weapons, he had already sent five or six soldiers flying Hearing Wen Xiu’s shout, he turned around like a log and ran towards her. The people who blocked him were all sent flying by him. He had immense strength. When the guards saw him rushing over, they quickly gouged out Wen Xiu’s eyes. Wen Xiu fainted from the pain of losing one of her eyes. Li Daniu seemed to have lost his sense of direction as he stood rooted to the ground. Xiao Zeyu took the opportunity to go over and tap on his acupuncture point. The generals swarmed over and tied him up with a rope as thick as a thumb.
“Get out the chains!”
Xiao Zeyu looked at the rope. It was the rope that he had broken just now If Li Daniu had been poisoned, it would not be able to trap him. For safety reasons, he could only use the iron chain to lock him up and wait for Su Qing to return ’ to cure him.
Her husband supported Li Shuang’ her as she exited the house. The imperial physician had already bandaged the wound on her neck. When she saw that Xiao Zeyu had ordered people to lock her brother up with iron chains, she cried and begged Xiao Zeyu: “Brother Shuisheng, don’t arrest my brother.” “That woman poisoned him. I’m doing this to protect him and wait for your Sister Su Qing to return to treat him.”
Xiao Zeyu explained to Li Shuang ‘er. Li Shuang’ er was slightly confused but she knew Xiao Zeyu wouldn’t do anything to her big brother. He wasn’t so flustered.
Li Shuang’ er’s white mourning clothes were dyed red with blood. She was dizzy from the shock and excessive blood loss, but she insisted on not entering the house to rest. Her elder brother had been captured. If she left, who would keep watch for her parents?
Li Shuang’ er’s husband was not bad. He had always been by her side, kneeling and burning paper money for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Xiao Zeyu ordered his men to take Li Daniu away. He was now dangerous, so they could only take him away.
Wen Xiu had already woken up from her coma. Her eyes had been dug out and it looked terrifying. The pain made her tremble all over, and the endless ’ darkness made her terrified and helpless.
She was no longer the ruthless, meticulous princess who knew witchcraft. She was just a pitiful, blind woman.
Her meticulous plan had gone down the drain just like that. Her opponent was so powerful that she could not even shake him.
Blood flowed out of Wen Xiu’s black eyes. She bit the tip of her tongue and cast a blood curse on Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing.
“I swear to Longevity Heaven that I will never reincarnate. I will make sure that your entire family dies without a complete corpse.”
Xiao Zeyu pressed on her acupuncture point and ordered someone to place a wooden stick in her mouth to prevent her from biting off her tongue. He also asked how many accomplices she had and ordered someone to bring her to be tortured.
Xiao Zeyu burned some joss money for Aunt Li and Uncle Li at the Li family’s house. He was in a very low mood. He felt that he had implicated them Wen Xiu wouldn’t have found them if they didn’t know him or if Daniu wasn’t his good brother.
“Brother Shuisheng, can my big brother be cured?”
Li Shuang ‘er cried as she asked Xiao Zeyu. Su Qing made the medicine on her neck. After applying the medicine, it felt cool, and she could not feel the pain anymore. She was worried about her big brother.
“Yes, your Sister Su Qing will be able to cure him.”
Xiao Zeyu nodded. He was glad Su Qing had placed the love gu on him first. The gu worm died when Wen Xiu put it-the gu on him. Once again, he felt that Qing er was his lucky star. She could always predict danger.
“When is Sister Su Qing coming back?”
“… It will take a long time.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t know when Su Qing would return. The journey to Sky Mountain was very long, and it would take over a month to go back and forth. She also had to find the snow lotus. He heard from his foster father that the snow lotus could only be found by those who were fated. Those who weren’t fated wouldn’t be able to see it bloom.
“Then what will happen to Big Brother?”
Li Shuang’ er was very worried. She had already heard from Xiao Ying what her big brother would look like when his illness acted up. What if he couldn’t wait until Sister Su Qing came back?
“I’ll go see Wen Xiu. She can cast voodoo, so she should have the antidote.” Xiao Zeyu was worried that something terrible would happen to Li Daniu as time passed, so he decided to go to the prison and ask Wen Xiu for the antidote.
“Will that woman give it to you?”
Li Shuang’er shuddered when she thought of the feeling of the dagger cutting her neck. That woman was ruthless. Could she give them the antidote?
Xiao Zeyu placed the last piece of paper money in his hand into the mourning basin. He clapped his hands and stood up, regaining the dignity of a king, “I have an idea.”
Xiao Ying, stay here and accompany Shuang’er.”
Xiao Ying and Li Shuang’er were like biological sisters, and his relationship with Aunt Li was like mother and daughter. Even if he wanted to take her away, she wouldn’t leave, so he let her stay.
Xiao Ying was already a princess consort but did not care about her status. She took the initiative to put on mourning clothes for Aunt Li and send her on her last journey.
Xiao Zeyu arrived at the torture chamber of Mo City’s prison. The prison’s torture chamber was like hell on earth. No matter how challenging the bones were, they would be scared to death when they entered.
Fortunately, Wen Xiu’s eyes had been dug out. She could not see what was inside the prison, but she could feel the viciousness and gloominess in the prison. The moment she entered, she felt her hair stand on end.
She wanted to scream, but she couldn’t. She wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, but there was a piece of wood in her mouth. Death was a luxury for her.
“Tell me the truth and let the flesh suffer less.”
Li Fuhai personally interrogated Wen Xiu. This was the assassin who tried to assassinate the Emperor. If he killed the Emperor in his territory, he would be held responsible. Therefore, he hated Wen Xiu to the core. He must find all the assassins hiding in Mo City. Torturing them was the best way..
