One hundred thirty-two deaths staring you in the face and you still dare to be defiant
After hearing Feng's words, Bai Xincheng couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I didn't impulsively kill her earlier."
Damn it, is that woman still human? She actually used a seven-year-old little girl as a bargaining chip?
She even had the nerve to yell at her, saying she shouldn't use her daughter to threaten her. How can this woman not think that her own daughter is her heart's flesh and blood, while someone else's daughter is made of iron and can be ravaged by her?!
Just thinking about the suffering of a half-grown child, her back couldn't help but feel chilled. What kind of depravity is this? How twisted does one have to be to become so heartless?
Feng Yicong finished speaking, then leaned his head against the stone wall, closing his eyes. Although he concealed his emotions, a sense of desolation still emanated from him beneath his white robes.
Yan Mo had not said a word from start to finish, but Bai Xincheng felt that his tense body was obviously suppressing some emotion. Sitting beside him, a cold aura emanated from his body, and the hand placed on his knee clenched tightly without realizing it.
Both of their emotions were reflected in their eyes, and Bai Xincheng also fell silent. But silence was not a solution, there were many problems that needed to be faced and solved.
"Holy Doctor, do you know where your sister Qingkong is? How is she now? Is her life in danger?" Bai Xintie asked directly.
She felt that Feng Yifeng was somewhat self-reproachful, perhaps because he blamed himself for not doing things that would harm his own brother. From start to finish, he didn't mention what happened to Qingkong now. Since Bai Xingbi entered the palace, people are definitely not in her hands. Looking at Feng Yifeng's current residence and someone coming to deliver food, it is likely that Bai Xingbi still has accomplices.
Upon hearing her question, Feng Yifeng opened his eyes, and the sparkling phoenix pupils suddenly took on a layer of smile, looking at Bai Xincheng: "Younger sister, the title 'Feng Sheng Yi' is somewhat too formal."
At this time, there is still a mind to say nonsense, Bai Xincheng glared at him with an unpleasant expression.
"It's just a title, why are you being so petty? Hurry up and tell me where your sister went, stop beating around the bush like a woman. You know something, just spit it out already." I'm so annoyed with people who pretend to be calm! What kind of timing is this to still care about correcting titles.
For her impatient tone, Feng Yifeng didn't show the slightest anger, he was like a good-natured gentleman who had no temper, and could even smile after being scolded. His clear eyes with a hint of teasing turned to Yan Moyu, and he chuckled: "Don't you ever control him?"
What's the point, since it's already being managed by his wife anyway.
Bai Xin was so angry she almost spat blood.
He faintly hooked up the corners of his lips, placed the white handkerchief on his knee in his own hands, and also brought a few smiles to his opening: "I'm used to it."
The corners of Feng Yijun's mouth were raised in a larger arc.
The conversation between the two made Bai Xindie feel like she was about to blow her top. Can't they flirt with each other without doing it in front of her?
And now, at this time, they still have the nerve to make jokes.
Just as she was about to scold the two of them, Feng Yifeng suddenly withdrew his smile and his bright eyes turned deep and mysterious.
"I don't know where Qīngkōng is being held, but I do know she's not dead. They'll bring her to see me whenever they need something from me, so that I can help them with a clear mind."
Bai Xin looked up at the big hole in the ceiling and said to him, "It's better not to stay here for too long, let's go back. We can think of another way when we get back. Since they want to use your sister to threaten you, they won't kill her for now, after all, you still have some use."
Yan Mo helped her up from the ground, and also helped Bai Xin get up, brushing off the dust on her clothes. Then he turned his head to face Feng Yi coldly and said: "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to carry you back?"
Feng Yijun's mouth twitched slightly, and he let out a low sigh as he stood up from the ground.
A group of people returned to Cheng Wang Fu again.
In the secret room, Bai Xinbi looked at the man in white robes and immediately changed his face. It was unclear whether it was due to guilt or fear of being retaliated against, she lowered her head, from previously shouting abuse to now not saying a word, very obviously, it was because of a guilty conscience.
"White Xinbi, we really underestimated you!" swaggered into the secret room, White Xinbi stood in front of her with her arms around her, a cold glint in her eyes, and said sarcastically.
Looking at the woman who was acting like an ostrich, Bai Xinzhen didn't intend to let her off, stretching out his hand, grasping her chin and lifting her head up.
"How dare you, so venomous, still have the face to talk about retribution with me? Bai Xinbi, when you were doing those heinous things, did you ever think about what kind of retribution you would get?"
Bai Xin closed her eyes, although the evasive expression was very obvious, but the expression on her face still had a hint of arrogance.
Seeing this, Bai Xincheng's anger ignited from the bottom of his heart, and he tightened his grip on her chin: "Speak! Do you think you can just become mute and that's it?"
Bai Xinbi's eyes fluttered open, her scarlet pupils filled with hatred: "There's nothing to say, whether you want to kill me or cut me up is entirely up to you!"
"Bai Xin's nails had almost dug into her flesh, and she asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, where is Qing Kong being held? Who else is with you? You don't have to say if you don't want to, but don't forget that your daughter is in our hands. You should know that it would be easier for us to kill her than to kill an ant. Moreover, Chu Shi is also in our hands. If she dies, I believe Fu De Wang will not let you off either. Think carefully about whether you want to confess or continue to pretend to be tough."
"Bai Xin, don't go too far!"
"Excessive?" Bai Xincheng couldn't help but sneer, his face full of mockery as he looked at her. "Compared to your excessive behavior, White Heart Jade, I think I'm not even comparable to you."
"Bai Xinzhi, don't you forget, we were born of the same mother. You treat your own biological sister like this, do you still have humanity?"
Just as Bai Xin finished shouting, Bai Xie slapped her face with a loud slap.
"You're still so stubborn even when death is staring you in the face, I'd rather be a beast than someone like you!" Bai Xinduan was thoroughly enraged. In her entire life, she had never seen such a shameless and thick-skinned woman, was this even human? "Anyone can say that I, Bai Xinduan, am heartless, but only you, Bai Xibei, don't have the qualifications to do so. You're just an empty shell with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs, how did a young girl like her provoke you? You actually use someone's life as a threat, I'd like to ask you, were your heart and lungs eaten by dogs or something?"
White heart fluttered up and down in her chest, but suddenly closed her eyes again, ignoring White Heart's approach once more.
"What, do you still want to fight us to the end?" Bai Xincheng looked at her coldly and proudly, his voice even more solemn. "Let me tell you, sister, today I will play with you until you die! If you know what's good for you, you'll bite your tongue and kill yourself, let me see the courage of White Heart Jade. But I have to remind you, as soon as you die, I will immediately kill your daughter and the Chu family, absolutely not letting you go alone."
"Bai Xin Die, you shameless thing!" Bai Xin Bi shouted out again.
He clenched his fists and was about to go up and personally pinch her to death. This woman repeatedly insulted her own woman, and when she lost her usefulness, he would definitely dismember her and crush her bones!
"Yin Du, prepare the torture instruments." He suddenly spoke in a cold tone. Since his concubine wanted to play, he would let her play, anyway that woman deserved to die, however she played it was fine with him!
Bai Xin's lips curled up into a smile. It was still her husband who understood her.
Looking at the flash of terror in her eyes, she suddenly changed her expression and smiled: "Don't worry, I have plenty of time to play with you. You don't need to tell me about Qingkong's whereabouts, I believe someone will automatically bring Qingkong before us. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see. But the premise is that you can survive in my hands."
It's actually not necessary for her to come out and take care of this woman, but the others are all men. Letting them interrogate a woman would be somewhat unseemly. Anyway, she had long since wanted to properly deal with this woman, so why not just let her do it herself, adding new grudges to old ones.
Perhaps it was the cold and unfeeling tone of Bai Xinbi's command that made Bai Xinhui afraid, for when facing Bai Xinhui's sarcastic smile, she suddenly fell silent, not even daring to look directly at Bai Xinhui.
She knew that she couldn't reveal the truth about the clear sky, once she did, there would be nothing left for her to use, and at that time, her death sentence would truly arrive.
As long as she doesn't speak out, that girl can be her living trump card. It doesn't matter if she gets caught, she believes that man will definitely find a way to save her!
"It seems you're determined not to say anything?" Bai Xintian raised an eyebrow.
Bai Xinbi closed her eyes and even raised her chin, issuing a challenge.
Bai Xin stopped arguing with her, she had been talking for half a day, this woman was stubborn and unyielding, now she even put on an air of 'a dead pig not afraid of boiling water', she wanted to see how much pride she had left, and how many proud bones she had to torment her!
She turned around and waved her hand at several men watching the play: "All of you, stand back a bit, don't scream when you see blood later, retreat, retreat."
I'm clenching my teeth so hard at the corner of my mouth, I just want to grab her and bite her.
Feng Yixing watched from the side, unable to help laughing and crying. Was she interrogating a prisoner or trying to ease the atmosphere with jokes?
Yin Du rolled his eyes. The princess always scolded him for being garrulous, but he thought the princess was the one who was really garrulous. To deal with such a woman, there was no need to waste words on her, just take action directly. If the princess was afraid of not being able to do it herself, he would be happy to help. It was because of catching this woman that his Blood Shadow was poisoned and injured.
Thinking of the scene where he was poisoned by Blood Shadow, Yin Du gritted his teeth.
As he watched Bai Xincheng walk over, he took the initiative to pull out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Bai Xincheng: "Your Highness, use this. That woman's face is detestable and her heart is vicious, just cut her down directly. If you find it bloody, I can replace Your Highness in cutting that woman into pieces."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's mouth twitched and he fiercely sucked in air. "......"
Is this guy learning from Blood Shadow?
She pushed away the dagger handed over by Yin Du, shook her head and went to choose the torture instruments herself.
"It's too cheap for her to die like this. With the way she is, even if we cut off her flesh, it would still be easy to get stained with her filthy blood, not worth it."
Yin fell silent, feeling that she had some reason, turned back to gaze gloomily at Bai Xinbi, narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything else. This woman was now a prisoner, waiting for her would only be a fate worse than death, he didn't need to be so anxious, after rescuing the sister of Sheng Yi... Hmph, she would get what's coming to her!
Bai Xin picked one out and chose an iron hook, which was the same iron hook that Yin Du said was used to kill pigs when she first entered the secret room.
She turned back to stand in front of Bai Xin, her cold eyes fixed on the woman opposite her. Seeing the obvious panic in the other's eyes, yet still stubbornly holding her chin up, she let out a cold hum.
"What's wrong, still don't want to say?"
"Bai Xin, if you want to kill me or cut me up, then do it quickly! Don't think I'm afraid of you. Even if I can't do anything about it now, even after I die and become a ghost, I won't let you off!" Bai Xinbi's expression was one of fearless disdain.
"Then let's see who wins—" Bai Xincheng raised his hand and the iron hook in it suddenly shot towards her collarbone—
"Ah——" A shrill and mournful cry suddenly echoed through the sealed chamber, almost shattering the eardrums of several men.
Fresh blood kept flowing out from Bai Xinbi's collarbone, spreading down along the fabric and getting wet.
Looking at the iron hook piercing through the woman's collarbone, Bai Xin's eyes sank: "Bai Xinbi, are you going to confess or not?"
The severe pain in her body almost made Bai Xin faint, and when she caught her breath, her face was as white as paper, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The woman hung her head low, only groaning in pain, seemingly not having heard what Bai Xinzhi had said.
Her stubborn and unyielding appearance somewhat surprised Bai Xincheng. She had originally thought that this spoiled young lady would not be able to withstand hardship, but she did not expect her to be so resilient.
It's not that she can't bring herself to do it, but rather she's afraid that if she does, she'll end up killing the woman in one go. This woman is still of some use to them for now, and her death would be of no temporary benefit to them.
Looking at the iron hook that pierced through his opponent's collarbone, Bai Xincheng narrowed his eyes and his gaze flashed coldly.
"Bai Xinbi, don't forget that it's not just you in our hands now. Your future mother-in-law and daughter are also in our hands. If you're smart, tell us where you've hidden Qingfeng. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you - Shengyi is very interested in your daughter. Just now, Shengyi told us that he wants to refine a new poison, and it's said that the only thing missing is the heart blood of an infant. I'm still considering whether or not to send your daughter to him. You know what kind of person Shengyi is - if you're smart, you'll confess quickly. If you refuse to drink the wine of respect and instead drink the wine of punishment, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Your death won't matter, but it's a pity that your young daughter will be used as a medicinal ingredient. It's really pitiful - she has a mother like you who doesn't care about her life."
"No——" Bai Xin's head jerked up and let out a sharp cry, her face seemingly distorted as if it had changed shape, those scarlet eyes filled with hatred, staring fixedly at Bai Xincheng.
"Speak quickly!" Bai Xinzhen seemed to have lost all his patience and shouted coldly.
……
According to Bai Xingbi's instructions, Yan Mo Yu and Feng Yifeng took the dark guards to rescue people, while Yin Du and Bai Xingran waited for news in the secret room.
Almost an hour later, everyone came back, but they didn't see them bring back any little girl.
"What's going on? Weren't we supposed to meet at the Just Clear Phoenix? Where is he?" White Heart Dye couldn't help but ask, looking at the two men with gloomy expressions.
Yan Mo had his hands behind his back, his face tense. Feng Yi said with a wave of his hand, "The clear sky has already been taken away by someone."
Huh?
Bai Xin's heart skipped a beat as she was about to have someone wake up the unconscious Bai Xin Bi when Yan Mo Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"It must have been done by her accomplices, she shouldn't be lying. Tonight you've worked hard all night, and should get a good rest." He was certain that Bai Xinbi wasn't lying. That place had indeed held people captive, and there were still many bloodstains on the ground. Since Bai Xinbi could reveal Qingkong's whereabouts, there was no reason for her to deceive them, unless she wanted her own daughter to die for her sake.
Bai Xin disapproved of his arrangement: "But Qīngkōng has not been found yet. What should we do?"
Yan Mo shook his head: "This matter is probably not known to Bai Xinbi either. Let's discuss it later and decide what to do. You go back to the palace and rest first, I'll take care of other things."
"This..."
"Brother and sister, you should return to the palace," Feng Yifeng immediately chimed in with advice. "Qingkong will not be in danger for the time being. Although I am under someone's control, at the same time there are also people who are under my control. They must come looking for me on their own initiative."
When she heard this, Bai Xinzhen also didn't say much.
Yan Mo helped to change and then took her hand, saying in a low voice to Feng Yifeng: "You stay at the mansion for now, we'll temporarily return to the palace first, and meet with you later."
"Uh-huh." Feng also didn't decline and agreed.
……
In the carriage returning to the palace, Bai Xinzhi kept sighing all along.
After a busy night, apart from rescuing Feng Ying, nothing else has made any progress.
She also knew that Bai Xinzhi and Fu De Wang must have had someone backing them up, and anyone with a brain wouldn't believe they could accomplish so much on their own. Just those secret rooms alone weren't something the two of them could dig out.
So every step after this, they must be extremely careful.
"Tired?" He held her in his lap, letting her head lean on his shoulder, and gazed at the blue under her eyes with some heartache. "If you're tired, take a nap."
Bai Xin leaned against his shoulder and continued to sigh: "I don't feel tired, I just feel a bit annoyed."
Things haven't been settled yet, and I'm definitely uneasy at heart.
Yan Mo patted her back: "Don't think too much, this matter has been discussed with Sheng Medical Saint, we can't push them too hard. Since they came with a purpose, they won't dare to make any rash moves before achieving their goal. For now, we just need to wait for them to reveal themselves."
Bai Xin's expression changed slightly as he caught on: "You mean to say that the forces backing Bai Xinbi are not small, and will be difficult to deal with?"
Yan Mo suddenly hooked his lips, couldn't help but pinch her face: "What's difficult? Their power is strong, but this is still the capital of my Shu Xia State, it's not their turn to be presumptuous, at most they can only play some despicable tricks. Do you know how many Iron Cavalry troops are stationed in the capital?" He wasn't afraid that the other party would appear, he was just afraid that they wouldn't dare to appear.
"How many people?"
Yan Mo gave a sudden, subtle smile and fell silent.
With a pale face and a scornful expression. Don't mention it! This man always deliberately makes a sarcastic remark whenever he mentions the military.
She thought of something and suddenly sat up straight in Mo Yu's arms: "Mo Yu, what do you think Fu De Wang would do if he knew Bai Xin Bi was gone?"
Yan Mo raised an eyebrow and instead of answering, asked back: "What does Ran Er think?"
Bai Xin furrowed his brow. "The Holy Doctor said that the poison on Fude Wang's body has been resolved, and now he has recovered to normal, which is a bit troublesome."
Yan Mo patted her back, and his deep eyes suddenly sank, flashing a hint of calculation: "No harm, since he likes to be a useless person, we'll just fulfill him."
"What do you mean?"
"After you go back, you will find Liu Xuelan and I will tell you again how to do it."
