"Let me out! Let me out!" Liu Yushu kept pounding on the door and shouting at the top of her lungs, but no one outside paid any heed to her.
"I advise you to save your strength. No one's gonna come to your rescue anyway. You'd better think about how to please me," the male servant leered and let out a vulgar laugh.
"Get lost! Don't come near me! Stay away!" Liu Yushu roared angrily, trying to scare off the two servants. But even when her throat was hoarse, the two servants showed no sign of backing off. Instead, they got even more excited by her reaction and started behaving even more obscenely.
In her anger and anxiety, Liu Yushu's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face.
In a split - second, she thought of someone who could save her.
"Wu Qing, help me! Save me—" She kept shouting his name desperately, hoping that he would fly in through the window like a gust of wind and knock down the two male servants.
The male servants looked at each other blankly, then sized her up with malicious looks in their eyes. Licking their lips, one of them said, "There's no Wu Qing here. I've got something even better on me. I'll show you in a minute." They stepped closer to her.
"Hey, beauty, don't cry. You'll know what pleasure is soon," the other man grinned. The fleshy folds on his face bunched up, making his greasy and repulsive appearance nauseating. There was a mole the size of a soy - bean on his chin with a tuft of long hair sticking out of it.
Concubine He was determined to ruin her. She deliberately picked the two most disgusting servants to defile her innocence.
Wu Qing didn't show up.
Liu Yushu's heart grew completely cold. She laughed at herself through her tears, thinking how stupid and naive she had been. Wu Qing, what was the difference between him and these two men? He was also a scoundrel who wanted to take advantage of her. She had actually hoped that a man with impure thoughts towards her would come to her rescue.
With tear - blurred eyes, Liu Yushu glared at the two servants. She gritted her teeth and warned them firmly, "You'll surely die a horrible death." Her eyes turned cold. She made up her mind and quickly rammed her head against a pillar. There was a dull thud as her head hit the pillar.
She swayed and fell to the ground. Her vision went blurry, and her ears were buzzing.
Rather than being defiled, she would rather die with her innocence intact.
Wu Qing looked at Liu Yushu in his arms. There was blood on her once fair and round forehead, and her face was streaked with tears.
His heart tightened. He suddenly raised his eyes, filled with killing intent. The two male servants were terrified when they saw him. They could tell that Wu Qing was not someone to be trifled with. They quickly put on their clothes, backing away while explaining, "Good sir, don't misunderstand. We were forced. Concubine He forced us to do this."
The cold light flashed in Wu Qing's blood - red eyes. He quickly picked up the chopsticks on the table and flicked his wrist, sending them flying towards the two male servants. One chopstick was stuck in the neck of one servant, and the other went straight through the eye of the other. The servant covered his bleeding eye and crouched on the ground, howling in pain.
The sound of the man's cries annoyed Wu Qing. He kicked the man hard on the head, and the man fainted on the ground.
"What's going on?" Caiqin outside heard the noise in the room. She unlocked the door with a key and rushed in. Seeing Wu Qing holding Liu Yushu, she was shocked. Looking at Wu Qing's murderous face, she turned to run, but it was too late. Wu Qing grabbed the back of Caiqin's clothes. With his strong arm, he picked her up. Caiqin's feet left the ground, and she was thrown hard against the cold and hard wall. Her face hit the wall, and she let out a scream of pain before fainting.
Wu Qing kicked the door shut. He carried the beauty in his arms into the inner room and laid her on the couch. He gently wiped the blood off Liu Yushu's forehead with his sleeve. He could tell that the injury on her head was serious and that she had been determined to die.
But as long as he was around, he would never let her die.
Wu Qing turned to look at the three people he had knocked out outside. A cold killing intent flickered in his deep eyes.
He got up and went out to clean up the mess.
As the sky gradually darkened and night fell, Liu Yushu finally woke up.
She frowned tightly. She felt as if her body was being devoured by flames. An indescribable restlessness was surging through her body. She opened her eyes, and through her hazy vision, she saw the familiar, cold face.
Wu Qing picked up a bowl of water and offered it to her, but she pushed it away.
The bowl fell to the ground. She gasped for breath and grabbed his sleeve. Her cheeks were flushed, and her misty eyes were filled with boundless tenderness and charm. She murmured softly, "I'm so hot. I'm so hot and uncomfortable..."
The drug that Concubine He had forced her to take was taking effect. The drug was extremely potent and could devour one's sanity. Once it took effect, there was no turning back. One had to release the internal heat, or else one's life would be in danger.
Wu Qing loosened his pursed lips. He opened his mouth as if to say something but stopped. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Gazing at the soul - stirring charm in her eyes, his heart instantly caught fire.
She kept pleading. Her two hands were like two little snakes, climbing onto his waist and coiling tightly around him. She lifted her blushing face and looked at him imploringly, "Help me. I'm so uncomfortable! Please..." Tears rolled down her face, and he gently wiped them away with his fingers.
In the outer hall, the red candle on the table flickered in the wind, its orange - yellow wick glowing and dimming.
Finally, Liu Yushu fainted.
