Chapter 215 The Ruthlessness of the Superiors
There was unquestionable confidence and coldness in her words, and then her tone changed, with a hint of threat, "And now, I hope you can be smart and keep your mouth shut, otherwise, your dear sister will be in danger."
The threat was like a drop of cold water, dripping into Yu Yanwan's heart, causing layers of chills.
Yu Yanwan's fingers tightened unconsciously, and her voice was weak but firm: "I want to see my sister."
Hearing this, Shu Rao's eyebrows slightly raised, that arrogance seemed to be born, she raised her eyes, a cruel smile hung on the corners of her mouth: "That depends on whether you are obedient. Now, it's not the time yet."
There was a playfulness in her words, as if she had everything under control.
"You are just afraid that I will tell His Majesty what you did. It is pathetic that you dare not take responsibility for your mistakes. When did you become so cruel and merciless, and I had no idea."
There was a bitter smile in Yu Yanwan's words, and her finger pointed tremblingly at Shu Rao. There was endless sadness hidden in that smile.
Shu Rao raised her head and laughed. The laughter sounded particularly long and sad in the morning air. "What should I be afraid of? You are in my hands now. I have plenty of ways to shut you up. If it weren't for our sisterhood for many years, you would have turned into a pile of dirt long ago!"
She approached step by step, and suddenly grabbed Yu Yanwan's trembling finger, her eyes full of provocation.
"Do you know? That day you accidentally pushed Princess Jingya into the lake. Why was she poisoned? It was because I asked Xuelian to secretly insert a poison needle into the back of the princess' neck when she was not paying attention. Afterwards, I quietly pulled it out without leaving any trace."
Shu Rao's words were like sharp blades, cutting Yu Yanwan's heart bit by bit. Her fingers were like willow branches in the autumn wind, struggling feebly.
"You...actually...at that time..."
Yu Yanwan was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words; her voice trembled with disbelief.
Before Yu Yanwan could come back to her senses, Shu Rao opened her red lips again, her tone becoming a little more cruel: "And Xun'er's death, do you know the inside story? It was all thanks to Xiao Anzi. She followed my instructions and pasted a piece of rice paper soaked in water on Xun'er's face, suffocating her to death. Everything looked like an accident."
After saying this, she covered the corners of her mouth with a silk scarf and uttered a series of harsh laughs. The laughter was like sharp claws, breaking the tranquility of the morning.
Yu Yanwan suddenly attacked, and a loud slap landed on Shu Rao's face. The latter staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"mean!"
she scolded.
Shu Rao covered her burning cheek, but before she could react, the other side of her face was hit again. Su Jingya appeared at some point, and her anger erupted like a volcano. She punched and kicked Shu Rao, and the situation suddenly got out of control.
Yu Yanwan sneered, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if she had already foreseen that evil would be punished, but she did not expect that the retribution would come so soon, and she did not expect that Su Jingya would show up at this moment and completely shatter Shu Rao's conspiracy.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is here, why didn't you useless servants inform her in advance!"
Facing Su Jingya's accusations, Shu Rao did not dare to refute and could only vent all her anger on Xiao Linzi.
Xiao Linzi had a sad look on his face, regretting that he had fallen into Su Jingya's trap, causing Shu Rao's plan to fail.
"Please spare my life, my lady. I know my crime!"
Xiao Linzi knelt down hurriedly and begged for mercy.
"You ants, do you think you can stop this princess?"
Su Jingya looked at Xiao Linzi with cold eyes, then turned to Shu Rao, "I came here today to observe how you treat your sisters, but I found more shocking things. You are a vicious woman, I will make your evil deeds public, let you reap what you sow, and you will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"
Su Jingya snorted coldly and was about to leave.
"stop!"
Shu Rao screamed, grabbed a vase and threw it at Su Jingya with all her might. The heavy object hit Su Jingya on the back of the head, and blood splattered, staining Shu Rao's face red.
Su Jingya turned around in pain, pointing at Shu Rao with trembling fingers. Before she could say anything, she felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, and then fell to the ground.
At the same time, Xiancao quickly closed the door of Yaohua Palace, and Xiaolinzi quietly took out a dagger from his sleeve and cleanly dealt with all possible witnesses. The color of blood filled the closed space.
Yu Yanwan gasped. This series of sudden changes caught her off guard. She could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.
"Shu Rao! Are you crazy?!"
Yu Yanwan rushed towards Su Jingya anxiously, bent over to check, and was surprised to find that Su Jingya still had a glimmer of hope.
"There is still hope, go get the medicine box!"
She shouted loudly, hoping to grasp a glimmer of hope in this despair.
Shu Rao's hands tightly grasped the blood-stained vase, the mottled bloodstains on it reflected the terrifying red light flashing in her eyes, like a bloodthirsty beast in the middle of the night.
Yu Yanwan's words were like a faint ray of light that penetrated the storm, bringing hope to Su Jingya that she still had a chance of survival.
But this hope instantly stirred up a storm deep in Shu Rao's heart. Her face twisted, and she exerted force suddenly, pushing Yu Yanwan away.
Yu Yanwan's body fell to the ground out of control like a kite with a broken string. Amid the flying dust, her eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.
Shu Rao then leaped up, and the vase in her hand turned into a hammer of revenge, smashing it fiercely towards Su Jingya's forehead with determination and cruelty.
Each heavy impact was accompanied by Su Jingya's painful whimper. The air was filled with not only the smell of blood, but also the breath of despair and death. The bright red liquid was like a blooming red spider lily, hideous and sad, wrapping everyone around in this dazzling red.
"This is all my own fault. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
Shu Rao's voice was full of coldness and disdain. She watched Su Jingya's struggle gradually weaken until it became silent. The vase in her hand finally couldn't withstand such violence and shattered to the ground with a bang. The fragments scattered everywhere, just like the last bit of pity in her heart collapsed.
Looking up at the sky, she laughed wildly, and the laughter echoed in the silent courtyard, which was both crazy and arrogant, declaring her desire for power and her ruthlessness to dissuade passers-by.
Yu Yanwan stared at Shu Rao in front of her in disbelief. The gentle woman in her memory seemed to have been completely devoured, and replaced by a demon emitting a chill.
In the courtyard, Xiancao and Xiaolinzi were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They looked away, not daring to look directly at the heart-pounding scene. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, fearing that even the slightest sound would bring about an unknown disaster.
Yu Yanwan used all her strength to climb up from the cold ground. Tears slowly slid down her delicate face, and every drop carried endless sorrow and pain.
She stared at Shu Rao intently. Even though her voice was trembling, she still firmly asked the question buried deep in her heart.
