At the same time, a foul stench filled the air, causing Bai Xueji, who was about to feel the pulse, to gag instantly. She retracted her hand in disgust.
But the next moment, Tang Youyou motioned for the guards to drag Bai Xueji out.
Watching Bai Xueji being dragged out, with her hair in a complete mess, she looked at Tang Youyou in panic, constantly repeating the name of Qingyun Sect, which she had been obsessed with.
She was really a good dog!
Even at this moment, she still hoped that someone from Qingyun Sect would come to rescue her.
"You're really extremely ridiculous," Tang Youyou sneered.
Bai Xueji shook her head and threatened Tang Youyou, "Don't kill me. Please, don't kill me. If you let me go today, I won't tell my masters and uncles what happened here. I promise."
While she was reacting violently, she also noticed that Su Sen on one side had completed his first molt. His whole body was red and covered in blood and flesh. His once good - looking face was no longer recognizable.
Apart from the rising and falling of her chest, there were no other signs of life.
Su Sen was completely silent now.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou smiled and said, "I saw before that you two were deeply in love. Now I'll give you a chance. Go and check the poison on him."
Hearing this, Bai Xueji reluctantly stepped forward to feel Su Sen's pulse. But this time, the pulse was just like that of a normal person. There was no sign of any problem at all.
This was impossible!
She glanced at Tang Youyou and then shook her head. "I can't cure this poison. His pulse is exactly the same as a normal person's. I can't find any problem."
Tang Youyou nodded and motioned for the soldiers beside her to control Bai Xueji. Then she put the same pill into her mouth.
"I'll give you a chance. Use all the pills on you to save yourself. If you can't, then wait to end up like him."
Then Tang Youyou told the guard to pour out all the elixirs and precious medicines taken from Bai Xueji on the ground. All the things were mixed together, making it hard for her to distinguish.
She could recognize the most precious pills, but after taking them, there was no hope. She didn't feel any change. Instead, she felt something surging in her body.
The next moment, Tang Youyou handed her a pill. "This is a temporary antidote for you. If you obey me obediently, I'll make sure you live a comfortable life. If you say something you shouldn't, the poison in your body will be enough to torture you."
Hearing this, she quickly nodded and nervously took the pill from Tang Youyou's hand. "I definitely won't say a word. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen."
At this point, Tang Youyou turned around and smiled again. "By the way, your master is already dead. But your uncle, because your master didn't return for a long time and you didn't go back either, has come to the border of the Great Ming Kingdom. You'll be able to see each other again this afternoon."
However, upon hearing this news, Bai Xueji didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She nodded silently. "I'll obey all your orders, Your Majesty the Queen."
Seeing that Bai Xueji was so smart, Tang Youyou turned around and left.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell the guard beside her, "Execute Su Minhuai directly. There's no need to spare his life. Keep his son alive for a few more days."
Hearing this, the guard immediately went to carry out the order.
Rong Xun, who was beside Tang Youyou, wasn't overly shocked to see such a ruthless Tang Youyou. Instead, he thought this was the real her.
"Aren't you afraid that after offending Bai Xueji like this, she'll tell something when the people from Qingyun Sect come?" Rong Xun asked.
Tang Youyou smiled.
"Rong Xun, do you know why I'm so confident? On the one hand, no one can solve my poison. On the other hand, Bai Xueji is selfish enough. A cowardly person is the easiest to control."
Tang Youyou was right about this. But for such a person, if used well, she could be useful. If not, she could be a disaster.
After walking for a while, Tang Youyou finally left the dungeon. Looking at the sunlight outside, she stretched and grinned at Rong Xun.
"Rong Xun, why did you teach me so many things? And you arranged Ye Yue by my side before. You've actually been protecting me secretly all along, right?"
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou asked again, "The medical skills Ye Yue taught me and those precious ancient books were all given by you, right?"
Hearing this, Rong Xun nodded. "Yes. But those things were just a pile of useless books in my hands. Only in yours do they have value."
Tang Youyou nodded.
"Now, more than twenty people from Qingyun Sect have come. They're all top - notch experts. I always feel that the reason they came this time isn't just because of Bai Xueji."
Hearing her speculation, Rong Xun smiled. "You're right. They came this time for something in the Great Ming Kingdom."
"What is it?"
Rong Xun shook his head. "I'm not sure. We have to wait until these people come and then make a decision."
After the two discussed, they had someone drag Bai Xueji and Su Sen out of the dungeon. After being tidied up, Bai Xueji's clothes were brand - new, looking just as arrogant as she was at the beginning.
She glanced at Tang Youyou and took two steps back in fear. Then she said to herself, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen. I definitely won't say something I shouldn't."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou said expressionlessly, "You'd better."
Then, the city gate of the imperial city was wide open. Rong Xun was sitting in the main seat, and Tang Youyou, wearing a phoenix robe, stood beside the imposing Rong Xun.
She murmured in a low voice, "Rong Xun, do you think these people will start killing directly when they come?"
But Rong Xun counter - asked, "Then do you think these people should be spared? If you don't like them, I can kill them directly."
From the very beginning, Rong Xun didn't take Qingyun Sect seriously. If it weren't for letting these people be a practice target for You'er, he would have massacred their whole family long ago.
Killing them was the easiest way.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou immediately grabbed Rong Xun's hand. She whispered nervously, "Absolutely not. I know your ability. But if you kill so recklessly, it will surely lead to a fierce battle later. I know there must be other forces behind you, but the Great Ming Kingdom can't afford such turmoil."
