"I never thought it would really be you, Mu Fengqie. Fortune has its turns. There comes a day when you fall into my hands. How do you feel? Didn't see it coming, did you?" Bei Moxue laughed loudly.
The moment Mu Fengqie saw her, she immediately lowered her head and didn't intend to pay any more attention to her. So what if she had fallen into Bei Moxue's hands? One day, Bei Moxue would surely die by her hands!
Seeing Mu Fengqie with her head down, Bei Moxue thought she was too scared to look her in the eye and laughed even more heartily.
"From now on, you won't be able to leave this place for a single step. By the way, do you even know where this is?" Bei Moxue said as she looked at Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie snorted coldly in her heart and ignored her, letting her play the one - woman show all by herself.
"This is the secret chamber of the Northern Underworld Palace. I had it specially built here. No one but me can find this place. So you'll never escape from here in your lifetime. I'll return all the pain you've inflicted on me. If you knew this would happen, why did you act the way you did back then? Do you regret not killing me when you had the chance?"
Ever since she escaped back, Bei Moxue had been scheming in her heart on how to deal with Mu Fengqie. She never expected that before she went to look for her, Mu Fengqie would just walk into her trap. It was really like searching high and low in vain only to find something without any effort!
When she built this secret chamber back then, it was just for fun. Now it finally came in handy. Bei Moxue was extremely delighted at this moment.
"Yes, I regret letting you escape. I regret not killing you back then. But don't be too happy too soon. I thought my plan was flawless, yet you still managed to escape." Mu Fengqie sneered contemptuously.
Bei Moxue looked at the seemingly delicate Mu Fengqie and snorted. "You're still as sharp - tongued as ever, but it won't do you any good now. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."
"Do you know who I am? I'm the princess of Tianlin and also the princess of Qin Dynasty. Do you think you'll get away with touching me? Do you think your father will risk offending two countries for you?"
Mu Fengqie believed that her uncle and aunt would surely come to save her. She also believed that Jing Xunchao wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. So she was confident that she would surely get out of here one day.
Even if she had to suffer some hardships here, one day she would surely walk out of here safely, and Jing Xunchao would surely come.
"So what? You're just a little princess. Do you really think the emperors of those two countries are stupid enough to break the peace just for you?" Bei Moxue scoffed coldly. "Don't worry. I won't let you die so soon. Soon someone will come to accompany you."
Mu Fengqie, who had been very calm all along, suddenly raised her head when she heard this. "What are you going to do? You hate me the most. It has nothing to do with others. I'm at your mercy now. Can't you just spare those innocent people?"
At this moment, Mu Fengqie was most worried about the people who were still out there, especially A Ru. She hoped those people wouldn't be stupid enough to come and save her.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in those people at all. But I haven't seen my husband for a long time. Seeing you today reminded me that I still have a husband!"
Mu Fengqie immediately understood what Bei Moxue meant. So her target was actually Jing Xunchao! Didn't she like Jing Xunchao?
When Bei Moxue escaped back, she had figured everything out. All her miserable experiences were brought about by this couple. All her love for Jing Xunchao had turned into hatred.
So what she wanted was not just Mu Fengqie, but also Jing Xunchao, her so - called nominal husband.
She had just sent a message out. She believed that he would soon get the news and come to rescue her. Then she could just wait to catch him like a turtle in a jar. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?
"It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with others. He's the one you like."
"The one I like?" Bei Moxue scoffed. She curled her lips and continued, "So how did he treat me? All I wanted was just him. I'm a princess, yet I was willing to be his second wife just because I loved him!"
Just thinking about this made Bei Moxue's heart ache. She thought all her past actions were so ridiculous.
"Do you think it's just that he doesn't like you? Do you know what kind of person he likes? You're so vicious and overbearing. You've already lost in this regard."
Mu Fengqie thought the woman in front of her was so ridiculous. Even at this point, she still thought she was the most aggrieved person in the world. She really had no self - awareness.
Hearing this, Bei Moxue got excited. She stepped forward and tightly grabbed Mu Fengqie's chin. "Shut up, you! Today I'll show you what will happen if you anger me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ordered her men to tie Mu Fengqie to a rack. Although Mu Fengqie was a little uneasy in her heart, she still looked calm on the surface.
Two men walked towards Mu Fengqie with clamps in their hands and tied the clamps to her hands. Mu Fengqie knew what was going to happen next just by taking a look.
It was the same old trick that Granny Rong used back then. Soon the pain came. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe. She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally fainted.
Bei Moxue splashed cold water on the fainted Mu Fengqie to wake her up. Mu Fengqie choked and gasped for breath. She felt as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.
"Don't be so weak. I won't let you die so soon. You can't die too early before your husband comes." Bei Moxue laughed.
Seeing Mu Fengqie on the verge of death, she felt extremely satisfied. But the hatred in her heart still hadn't completely disappeared.
Mu Fengqie stared at Bei Moxue fiercely. Her disgust for her deepened even more. It didn't matter if Bei Moxue captured and tortured her, but Mu Fengqie didn't want others to be implicated because of her.
"What are you staring at me for? That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow. You must hold on until your husband comes to save you~"
...
A Ru had been crying non - stop since her elder sister was captured. She really regretted not listening to her father and mother when she was a child. If she had learned martial arts hard back then, maybe she could protect her elder sister now.
But now she didn't even know where her elder sister had been taken. Even if she wanted to rescue her, she didn't know where to start!
