Xia Muqing asked, “What are you talking about?”
Xia Chuxing’s eyes were filled with malice. She said, “You’re about to be married to Prince Yu. You should wait quietly during this period of time.”
She even burst out laughing.
Xia Muqing raised her hand slightly and threw something into her mouth.
Xia Chuxing felt as if her neck was being pinched. She suddenly stopped laughing and kept digging her throat.
Unable to vomit out anything, she hissed angrily, “What did you feed me?”
Xia Muqing’s expression suddenly turned odd and she said mysteriously, “It’s a type of poisonous insect. It will devour your internal organs every day, starting from your liver and finally your heart. After eating the internal organs, you will become an empty shell. It will hatch eggs in your body and slowly, more worms will come out from your eyes, mouth, and nose…”
She dragged her words deliberately, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Xia Chuxing screamed in horror and tried her best to vomit, but it was useless.
Looking at the terrifying expression on Xia Muqing’s face, she stumbled and fled. She even tripped halfway and fell into a puddle of mud.
Without even daring to turn around, she got up and fled.
Xia Muqing put away the night pearl in her hand. The light on her face disappeared and her expression returned to normal.
She sneered softly in disdain. How dare she provoke her with her lack of guts?
However, when she thought of Prince Yu, she realized that the matter was really troublesome.
No matter how arrogant she was, she knew her limits. It was impossible for her to challenge a prince alone, unless…
The black eagle flapped its wings and approached her with a few chickens in its mouth.
Xia Muqing scolded it. “All you know is to eat. Do you know that I’m in trouble?”
“You still have the mood to eat at a time like this?”
“You still want to eat roasted chicken? It’s so troublesome. Would I still be in the mood to roast meat for you?”
The black eagle looked at Xia Muqing in confusion as it glanced at the roasted chicken on the grill.
Xia Muqing said with a straight expression, “I only have the energy to think of a solution after I’m full. I’m different from you.”
After Xia Muqing had her fill, she really thought of a solution.
Her eyes narrowed and she grinned.
If not for her good-looking face, that expression of hers would be really lewd.
Xia Muqing patted the black eagle’s head and said, “If I don’t come back tonight, go look for me.”
The black eagle nodded.
Xia Muqing wasn’t worried that it wouldn’t be able to find her. Beasts had their own method of locating humans.
After giving instructions, she tidied up the courtyard and prepared to escape.
Clearly, the Xia family had also thought of this, and the number of guards patrolling the entrance had increased noticeably.
Xia Muqing curled her lips in disdain. They just don’t learn their lesson. How could these losers stop her?
Old Master Xia was also aware, but he was only doing that to console himself.
They had already secretly poisoned Xia Muqing’s food. The poison would drain her of all energy. When the time came, they would send her directly to Prince Yu’s residence.
Who knew that Xia Muqing didn’t give them the opportunity to do so.
She rushed with purpose to the signboard on the street.
That’s right, her intention was to take the notice and enter King Zhennan’s residence.
She had never thought of fleeing. After all, she had promised to avenge this body, and she naturally wouldn’t go back on her word.
King Zhennan’s residence was not only a means to escape from the prince, but also an opportunity to overthrow the Xia family in the future.
What she had to do now was to turn King Zhennan into a weapon in her hands.
Xia Muqing stood in front of the signboard and reached out swiftly. The notice from King Zhennan’s residence was in her hand.
Her action was arrogant and domineering. Gasps sounded from the surroundings.
Xia Muqing looked at the crowd in confusion. Even if she looked very confident, the reaction shouldn’t be that overwhelming.
The people all looked at her as if she was a fool.
The notice had been put up for a long time, but no one had dared to take it. It was because King Zhennan had promised to give the physician who cured his illness ten thousand taels of gold.. If he couldn’t, then he shall die.
