With a thought, a scalpel of gauge 23 and a bottle of knockout drug potent enough to render a dozen people unconscious appeared in her hand.
She tiptoed over to the door.
But before she could carefully observe the movements outside,
the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
Mo Yao's voice rang out immediately, "Drag her out for me!"
Mo Qinghuan took a look and recognized the six or seven servants who had beaten Ning Yao last time.
She smiled faintly and shook her head. When the six or seven servants were just one step away, she casually flicked her hand.
"I'm a princess officially conferred by the emperor. How dare you lay a hand on me!"
The servants were stunned for a moment. They glanced at each other and then turned to Mo Yao for help.
"Don't be scared! As long as you don't kill her, the emperor won't bother about such trifles!"
Mo Qinghuan watched as Mo Yao, before even finishing her words, started to scratch her right arm vigorously again.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the doorframe.
"Can't stand the itch in your arm, right?" She raised an eyebrow provocatively.
"I knew it was you! You poisoned me! Hand over the antidote right now, or today—"
Boom—
The sound of six or seven people collapsing obviously gave Mo Yao a start.
"What's going on? Did you poison them too?" Mo Yao stared wide - eyed and shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible. You didn't even touch them!"
Mo Qinghuan scanned the yard and suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Where are Dan'er and Shuang'er?"
At this question, Mo Yao suddenly felt she still had the upper hand. She gave a smug smile. "You mean those two sisters!?" But before her smugness could last long, her arm started to itch unbearably again. She scratched so hard that she broke the skin, yet still couldn't reach the itchy spot.
"Give me the antidote, and I'll let those two sisters go. Otherwise, if I can't go back properly today..." At this point, Mo Yao's smile turned lewd. "I'll let those two sisters experience the ultimate pleasure!"
Mo Qinghuan dropped her hands and stared coldly at Mo Yao, as if looking at a corpse. But then, she thought that killing her like this would be too easy on her!
She took step after step towards Mo Yao. But having learned her lesson, Mo Yao clearly didn't dare let Mo Qinghuan get too close. So for every step Mo Qinghuan took forward, Mo Yao staggered back a step.
"Don't come any closer!"
She shrieked in panic. Looking at Mo Qinghuan who was tilting her head and staring coldly at her, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.
"Now, immediately, right this second, bring the girls back. Otherwise, you'll suffer a hundred times more than you do now!"
She placed both hands on Mo Yao's shoulders. Mo Yao's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Then, she let out a scream. "What did you do to me!?"
Mo Qinghuan crouched down halfway, pinched Mo Yao's chin, and her smile turned cold and fierce. "Can't feel your hands anymore, right?"
Mo Yao got up, letting her hands hang limply on both sides of her body. "You're not Mo Qinghuan! You're a ghost! A devil!"
With a scream, she ran towards her own courtyard and bumped into Hongguo head - on.
Hongguo plopped down on her knees, waiting for Mo Yao's scolding. But Mo Yao didn't even have the time to scold her. Without looking back, she rushed all the way to the door of her room. Since her hands were numb, she had to use her shoulder to knock the door open, then hurriedly closed it and leaned against the door.
It was as if there was really a fierce ghost chasing after her.
Hongguo didn't dare to turn back and look until she couldn't hear Mo Yao's movements anymore. Then she got up and walked towards Mo Qinghuan's courtyard.
Mo Qinghuan happened to be walking out to look for Dan'er and her sister. The two met face - to - face.
Hongguo knelt down on the ground with a thud again.
"Hongguo, what are you doing here?"
Hongguo was trembling all over. "Reporting to the princess, this servant is here to inform you that Dan'er and Shuang'er are locked in the wood - shed in the back courtyard. And..." Not hearing Mo Qinghuan's response, she looked up furtively at Mo Qinghuan. To her surprise, upon hearing that the girls were in the wood - shed, Mo Qinghuan had already started walking towards it.
She didn't even have time to finish her words.
She couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. She thought that if she were in danger, her mistress would definitely not be so eager to rescue her. Maybe she would die without her mistress even knowing.
If only she had a mistress who cared about her like this. Then she would surely give up her life without hesitation.
...
Mo Qinghuan quickened her steps and arrived at the door of the back courtyard. The door of the wood - shed was closed.
She walked over gently and heard several men chuckling lewdly and Shuang'er's shrill screams. "Let go of my sister! You brute! You bastard!"
She reached out to push the door when she heard Dan'er's voice. "Shuang'er, don't cry. Don't shame our mistress! I know that if we die here today, our mistress will surely not let these people off. Moreover... their end will only be a hundred times more miserable than ours!!!"
"Humph, even if your mistress comes, it's the same. I'll have a good time with all of you!" As he said this, the man pounced on Dan'er.
Mo Qinghuan's eyes turned red with anger. She kicked the door open with one foot.
Four bare - chested strong men turned their heads at the sound. The one closest to Dan'er gave Mo Qinghuan a lewd look, as if provoking her, and then continued to tear at the clothes on Dan'er's chest.
He even leaned towards her neck.
"Ah!" Dan'er let out a scream and struggled to back away.
But her hands and feet were tied up. She only managed to move a little bit before being dragged back by her feet.
Mo Qinghuan couldn't bear it any longer. Even the veins on her forehead popped out. She angrily grabbed a thick wooden stick beside the door and swung it down hard at the man.
The other three men instinctively stepped back. The wooden stick hit the man solidly and broke into two pieces on the spot, which showed how much strength she had put into it.
The man covered his shoulder and grimaced in pain. Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his face.
After this blow, even if his bone wasn't broken, he wouldn't be able to lift his arm for at least half a month.
The man cursed angrily. "Bitch, brothers, tie her up for me. I'll teach this shrew a good lesson today!"
Mo Qinghuan gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think you still have this chance?"
Mo Qinghuan threw away the stick in her hand, and the scalpel in her sleeve landed in her palm.
The man seemed unafraid. He raised his other hand and rubbed it against the back of Mo Qinghuan's hand.
Rage blazed in Mo Qinghuan's eyes, and a glint of killing intent flashed in her pupils.
The man still said fearlessly, "Don't worry. I'll surely make you feel good!"
Mo Qinghuan's teeth gritted.
"Dan'er, how do you think we should deal with him?"
In fact, Mo Qinghuan had already thought of a way to deal with him. No matter what, she would never be merciful to her enemies and villains again!
If she hadn't been too merciful to that mother - daughter pair in her previous life, how could she have been persecuted to such an extent!
Dan'er's lips were trembling with anger. "Mistress, although Dan'er doesn't know how to deal with him, Dan'er knows that we mustn't let him go, because bad people will never do just one bad thing!"
Mo Qinghuan smiled with satisfaction. She was indeed the one she, Mo Qinghuan, had chosen.
