The black totem! Jing Xunchao thought of the secret guards of the Empress of Southern Qing. That was their unique symbol!
Southern Qing!
"Now it's time for us to settle the score between you and Qier."
He saw a blood - stained whip on the wall. He had a feeling that it was the whip this woman had used to beat Qier.
"No... don't... You said you'd spare my life."
"I didn't say I'd take your life either."
After saying that, he walked over and took down the barbed whip hanging on the wall.
"You used this whip to beat Qier back then, right? Now let me let you taste the feeling of this whip, shall I?"
"No... don't... Please... I beg you... Spare me. I'll agree to whatever you want. Please spare me."
Yang Qing was so frightened that her whole body went limp. Her face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't stop backing away.
"Ah!"
A whip lashed down hard on Yang Qing. Jing Xunchao used all his strength, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
Yang Qing was whipped to the ground and couldn't move a muscle. She almost fainted.
The Yang family was really something. It took him three days to find out that those servants were from the Yang family.
He didn't dare to go back to see Qier in these three days. He was afraid that before he could avenge her, she would look at him with disappointment in her eyes when she saw him. He couldn't bear such a look.
"I did say I wouldn't take your life, but I didn't say I wouldn't teach you a lesson."
"This whip is for your arrogance..."
"This whip is for your rudeness..."
"This whip is for your bullying of the weak and fear of the strong..."
"This whip..."
Thinking of Qier still being in a coma, Jing Xunchao lost his mind. He quickly threw down the whip and ran out. He had to go back to take care of Qier.
When Jing Xunchao came back, A Ru was feeding Mu Fengqie porridge. Seeing Mu Fengqie really awake, Jing Xunchao couldn't help crying.
"Qier..."
Mu Fengqie couldn't quite accept seeing such a handsome man crying in front of her. She wanted him to stop crying, but for some reason, as soon as she saw him, her heart ached terribly, as if being pricked by needles, and it was hard for her to breathe.
"You..." Stop crying. Your crying makes me feel bad.
She had just said one word when she was tightly hugged by Jing Xunchao.
"Qier, I miss you so much. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault... I'm sorry..."
A Ru was pulled to one side and felt a bit angry.
"Jing Xunchao, let go of my elder sister right away!"
"Um, could you please let go of me first? And do you know me?"
This sentence hit Jing Xunchao like a thunderbolt. He felt his mind go blank.
Do you know me? Why did Qier say such a thing? Was Qier still angry with him? It must be.
"Qier, I'm sorry. I was wrong back then. Please forgive me, okay? Let's stop arguing, okay?"
Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie with full expectation, but in Mu Fengqie's eyes there was only confusion.
Boom!
"What's wrong with Qier? Why doesn't she remember me? What did you do to her?"
Jing Xunchao turned around and angrily stared at A Ru. He thought it must be their doing. They didn't want Qier to be with him. They wanted to separate Qier from him!
"Jing Xunchao, what do you mean by 'what did we do to her'? My elder sister was seriously injured and in a deep coma. She just woke up and doesn't remember anyone!" Are you crazy!
But she didn't say the last sentence out loud.
"Moreover, Jing Xunchao, what right do you have to come and see my elder sister here! If it weren't for the Empress of Southern Qing, my elder sister wouldn't have been in trouble!"
"Since you chose the Empress of Southern Qing back then, why are you still looking for my elder sister now? Do you want to hurt her again?"
"I didn't! I had no choice back then."
"Humph! No choice? Who forced you? My elder sister and the Empress fell off the stage together. You were only thinking about preventing the Empress from getting hurt, but did you ever think about preventing my elder sister from getting hurt?"
"You kept saying that you had nothing to do with the Empress anymore. Then why didn't you save my elder sister back then? What were you thinking at that time?"
"Back then, there was a nail under the Empress. If she fell, she would die. I couldn't let the Empress's death be related to Qier."
"An excuse! Jing Xunchao, you also said that she is the Empress! Which emperor doesn't have secret guards around? Even if you didn't catch her, she wouldn't have been hurt."
"But what about my elder sister? If I hadn't asked Yuan Yuhan to save her back then, my elder sister would have been seriously injured!"
"You only thought about your Empress. Did you ever think about my elder sister?"
These words completely stunned Jing Xunchao. Yes, which emperor didn't have secret guards? Even if he didn't save her, she wouldn't have been hurt. But what was he thinking at that time?
He actually thought that there was no nail under Qier, and she wouldn't be hurt even if she fell. But what was the reality?
Qier was injured, and it was he who caused it with his own hands, and the injury was very serious.
Jing Xunchao stood there, moving his lips, but couldn't say a word.
Mu Fengqie listened to their argument and sorted out the matter. So it was this man who caused all her injuries. This man was actually a scumbag!
"Cough cough cough... I want to rest." So could you guys go outside and argue?
"Elder sister, you have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie, hoping that she would also say something to him, but his wish didn't come true.
After Mu Fengqie said that, she lay down with A Ru's support and ignored Jing Xunchao at all.
Actually, Mu Fengqie didn't do it on purpose. She was really too tired, and she didn't know what to say when facing him. She felt that she would involuntarily get angry when he was in front of her.
She didn't know how to face this man. Maybe after she remembered everything in a few days, she would know what had happened between them.
A Ru covered Mu Fengqie with the quilt and then dragged Jing Xunchao, who was standing there like a log, out.
Don't even think about disturbing her elder sister's rest here!
"Jing Xunchao, don't think I don't know that this incident of my elder sister has something to do with the Empress."
Yuan Yuhan had already told her that it was the Empress who had captured her elder sister and the Yang family who had hurt her!
Since you've settled the score with the Yang family, why don't you go and settle the score with the Empress?
All of A Ru's thoughts were written on her face. Jing Xunchao knew that she was standing up for Qier, but to teach the Empress a lesson, he still needed to make some preparations.
"Take good care of Qier." After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Yuan Yuhan came back, he saw Jing Xunchao walking out with a cold face. He didn't even have time to say hello.
"A Ru, I'm back." He stepped forward and hugged A Ru, feeling that today was another fulfilling day.
"Zhanzhi, where have you been?"
