Chapter 168


Seeing Ruo Qiu on the verge of dying, Lin Zaozao felt her throat tighten and her breathing become difficult.

She quickly reached out and lifted Ruo Qiu out of the coffin, sitting him up halfway and beginning to transfer the pain and illness from his body to her own.

Even after the transfer, Ruo Qiu's condition showed no signs of improvement. Seeing his face growing paler and paler, Lin Zaozao's body was filled with a gloomy, sharp aura.

That gloomy aura made the banquet instantly become silent as the grave. At this time, people's intentionally suppressed breathing could be heard very clearly.

"Fan Tian, come quickly and see Ruo Qiu, his condition is wrong!"

Hearing Lin Zaozao’s anxious voice, Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua quickly walked over to Lin Zaozao’s side.

When Ji Fantian’s hand left Ruo Qiu’s wrist, he looked at Lin Zaozao anxiously and said,

"Zaozao, do you still have any of the life-saving pills I originally made for you from white jade ginseng and lingzhi?"

"Yes, I gave one to Uncle Zhang, and I still have three left."

Thinking of the life-extending effect of the pills made from white jade ginseng and lingzhi, Lin Zaozao quickly took one out of the pouch at her waist and stuffed it into Ruo Qiu's mouth.

However, Ruo Qiu, who was barely breathing, simply could not swallow the life-saving pill.

At this time, Lin Zaozao didn't care what others were thinking. She propped Ruo Qiu up halfway and directly mouth-fed him the pill.

After one pill went down, Ruo Qiu's breathing stabilized slightly.

Or rather, she could finally clearly feel Ruo Qiu's breath.

But before Lin Zaozao could breathe a sigh of relief, seeing her mouth-feed medicine to Ruo Qiu, the corners of Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's mouths, who were controlled by Wushuang and Wudi, twitched frantically.

Seeing their smug expressions, it was as if their scheme had succeeded. Ignoring the speechless expressions of the people at the banquet, they laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... Princess Mingzhu, no wonder our mother said you are a genuine fool.

No matter how many people help you, with just a little planning she can easily get rid of you.

Indeed, all that talk of an auspicious sign descending from heaven, that bullshit Princess Mingzhu, you as the empress of Han Country, you are just a brainless waste. For a worthless man, you actually dare to mouth-feed him medicine.

Mingzhu, have you forgotten where the poison on Qi Fantian and Ruo Qiu came from? Someone warned you clearly that my mother is a master poisoner, yet you still dared to feed medicine so recklessly to a dying man!

Stupid, you really are stupid to death!

A fool like you still wants to conquer Canglan and Fengshuo? It's simply a pipe dream.

High Priest Hanye, National Master, if that fool Mingzhu dies, your plans for many years will be ruined. You will die along with her!

Hahaha..."

Hearing Ye Zhao's ridicule, Lin Zaozao had no time to bother with her, only carefully watching Ruo Qiu's complexion for fear that she would inadvertently let death take Ruo Qiu away.

Seeing Ruo Qiu's breath become more and more steady, Lin Zaozao couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.

As long as he kept breathing, with the system's help she would definitely be able to save Ruo Qiu.

Lin Zaozao picked Ruo Qiu up horizontally, held him tightly in her arms, then turned her head to look at Ye Zhao and Ye Mu, saying coldly:

"Besides the Female Emperor of Canglan Country, who else? Who else took part in harming Ruo Qiu like this?"

"Princess Mingzhu, right now, never mind who came up with the idea. Do you think you still have a chance to live on and avenge Ruo Qiu?

We painted deadly poison, much more potent than ‘Incurable’, on Ruo Qiu's lips. Even if you can resolve ‘Incurable Poison’, you can’t resolve the poison on Ruo Qiu’s lips.

Lin Zaozao murmured softly.

"Yes, Ye Yi, my third brother, your husband. Sis, look at Ruo Qiu first, he's on his last legs."

Hearing Xiao Liuli's babbling words by her ear, seeing him with nothing but horror on his face as he shielded Ye Zhao, Lin Zaozao came back to herself.

Her blood red eyes froze for a moment before slowly returning to black.

Seeing this scene, Han Ye finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, nothing bad happened.

He truly didn’t wish for Little Pearl who had just returned to Han Country to involuntarily recall some things due to some sudden occurrence.

The seals placed on Little Pearl absolutely could not be loosened now.

Having somewhat regained her senses, Lin Zaozao moved the dagger placed against Ye Zhao's neck aside.

"Xiao Liuli, for your third brother's face, give me one more reason not to kill her!"

"Sis, Ye Zhao and Ye Mu are most favored by my mother empress. I want to exchange their lives for that of my third brother and my father's family of thousands.

Even if I can't exchange them back, they still have other uses. In short, their value alive is far greater than the value of venting hatred by killing them with one stab."

Xiao Liuli coldly looked at the horrified Ye Zhao, her voice unprecedentedly firm.

"Fine, I'll listen to you this once and let those two live for now. When they're of no more use, we'll kill them."

Lin Zaozao casually threw away his knife, lazily glancing at Ye Zhao who kept gasping for air, and the pale Ye Mu who had collapsed on the ground with a knife in her chest.

"Dashan, don't let this Ye Mu die yet. Find a doctor to keep her alive with medicine. I still have use for their lives."

"Yes, young master."

Dashan waved his hand behind him, and some guards came to take Ye Mu and Ye Zhao away.

"Wait!"

Xiao Taohua suddenly spoke up to stop them.

"Xiao Taohua, what's wrong?" Lin Zaozao asked puzzledly.

"Zaozao, I want to feed them something!"

"Go ahead! As long as they don't die, you can feed them whatever you want. Even if you want to feed them shit, I won't stop you."

Lin Zaozao's emotionless words made Xiao Taohua's body stiffen involuntarily.

But when he turned his head back and saw a clear mischievous look in Lin Zaozao's eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle lightly.

Having obtained Lin Zaozao’s reply, the corners of Xiao Taohua’s mouth turned up. Although his eyes were curved amiably, anyone could tell at a glance that he had a roguish air about him.

Xiao Taohua slowly walked over to Ye Zhao and Ye Mu, directly prying open their mouths, and feeding each of them a pill.

"Cough cough... You despicable bastard from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, what have you given us to eat?!"

Ye Zhao kept scratching her throat, retching, while glaring fiercely at Xiao Taohua.

Her gaze towards Xiao Taohua was full of disgust and contempt. How could someone from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons give them anything good!

Truly foolish!
