Behold, the Kafei, who had just been as fierce as a demon and eager to kill, was now lying pale on the ground. Blood kept oozing from the corner of her mouth, and her body twitched constantly.
On the opposite side stood Shen Lingyun, his face full of cruelty.
Seeing this scene, Su Qingwen was also stunned. She had originally thought that Shen Lingyun was just a gentle and delicate young master from a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, he had such a side. It was really surprising.
Before she could say a word, Shen Lingyun had already taken large strides and rushed to her side. He reached out and helped her up, asking worriedly, "Qingwen, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine." Su Qingwen covered her chest, took a deep breath, and shook her head. "I feel much better."
Looking at the pale and weak woman in front of him, Shen Lingyun frowned tightly. He couldn't help but let out a sigh and picked her up horizontally.
"You..." Su Qingwen was startled by his action and let out a low exclamation.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Lingyun comforted her in a low voice. He gently laid her back on the bed and even thoughtfully covered her with the quilt.
When his gaze fell on the hair that had been yanked out from the top of Su Qingwen's head, Shen Lingyun squinted his eyes, and anger welled up in his eyes.
He let out a cold snort, then directly turned around and walked up to Kafei. He grabbed her hair.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!" Shen Lingyun was a strong and powerful man. When he grabbed her hair like this, Kafei's facial features were all scrunched up in pain, and tears streamed down her face.
"Oh, so you know what pain is? When you were bullying others like that, why didn't you show any mercy?" Shen Lingyun sneered. He looked down at Kafei as if he was enjoying her painful expression.
"Hero, I was really wrong. Please let me go." Kafei pleaded loudly, looking extremely disheveled.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen got up from the bed and looked coldly at the woman on the ground. "Kafei, just shut up. You've done so many wrong things. How can you still have the nerve to beg for mercy?"
"You're right!" Shen Lingyun continued to reach out and tugged at Kafei's hair one handful after another. In a short while, Kafei was screaming and had become a "bald chicken".
Kafei was already not good - looking. Now without her hair, her head was like a black - tinged marinated egg. It was even more unbearable to look at. Su Qingwen covered her eyes, feeling that looking at her was an insult to her aesthetic sense.
"Ah!" Kafei seemed to be greatly stimulated. She let out a crazy scream. Her voice, like that of a broken gong, was as eerie as that of a ghost, sending chills down one's spine.
Finally, Shen Lingyun couldn't stand it anymore. He directly pressed Kafei's head against the wall.
With a "bang", after being hit, Kafei finally quieted down. Her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground.
Her whole body was covered in stains and blood, looking extremely disheveled.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen frowned in disgust and couldn't help but turn her head away.
"Qingwen, you go back and lie down first. I'll take care of her." Shen Lingyun glanced down at Kafei, and a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Take care of?
When she heard this word, Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
"How do you plan to take care of her?" She cleared her throat and stepped forward worriedly.
"She hurt you so badly. We can't just let it go without revenge, right?" Shen Lingyun snorted disdainfully. "Moreover, after what just happened, she will definitely report to Gao Quan. In that case, it's better to get rid of her once and for all!"
He meant to kill her!
Hearing the implication in his words, Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment. Her heart couldn't help but beat faster. Then, she stepped forward and said, "No. Anyway, she is the emperor's concubine and Gao Quan's relative. If she just dies like this, it will always be unclear."
"Qingwen, don't worry. I'll take responsibility for this matter myself. I definitely won't implicate you." Shen Lingyun looked at her meaningfully and said.
"I'm not afraid that you'll implicate me." Su Qingwen was almost angry at his logic. "I just think it's inappropriate to do so. No, we'd better send her back secretly. She came here today to assassinate me. She won't be so stupid as to expose herself."
"Are you really sure? You want to let her go?" Shen Lingyun's gaze swept across her face and he asked.
"Yes." She nodded heavily. Even though she also hated Kafei, she didn't want to have blood on her hands. After all, this was just a game. It would be bad to take it too seriously.
"Okay." After getting a definite answer, Shen Lingyun nodded. "Then I'll send her back first. You wait for me here."
"Okay." Su Qingwen let out a sigh. She sat back on the bed again. Watching Shen Lingyun quickly drag Kafei away, she looked out of the window with a bit of melancholy, not knowing what to do.
[System: Dear, congratulations! You've successfully completed the task again.]
The system's cheerful voice seemed a bit out of place.
"What?" Su Qingwen's mind was still a bit muddled. She didn't know what it was talking about.
[System: Didn't I just give you a card? It says "strong". This time, when facing Kafei's attack, you showed such wisdom, courage, and indomitable spirit. I'm almost touched by you.]
"So, this is the task card you issued." Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have figured out something. That task card was a kind of ordeal for her, and she had completed it unconsciously.
"Okay, although I've completed the task, I'm not happy at all." Su Qingwen shrugged her shoulders, looking dejected.
[System: Don't be like this. You're only two cards away from redeeming the surprise gift package. Where's the energetic Su Qingwen?]
"I'm so tired." Someone sighed and lay down on the bed helplessly. At this moment, she didn't want to do anything but lie there.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came. Su Qingwen was startled and looked at the door warily again.
Thankfully, it was Shen Lingyun who came back this time. He was holding a small food box in his hand. His worried gaze landed on her. "You must haven't eaten for a long time. Come and have something to eat quickly."
"Not only haven't I eaten, but I also seem to have a fever now." Su Qingwen got out of bed with difficulty and walked to the table. She said sadly.
"Qingwen, how could Huayueye treat you like this?" Shen Lingyun slapped the table in dissatisfaction, which startled Su Qingwen, who was about to pick up the chopsticks to eat. She almost dropped the chopsticks on the ground.
"Okay, come and escape from the palace with me. Let's roam the world and never come back." Shen Lingyun grabbed her small hand and confessed his feelings.
"What?" Su Qingwen widened her eyes, looking extremely shocked.
