He pinched You Miao's chin more and more tightly, as if he was planning to completely crush her jaw bones.
You Miao fearfully praised Yan Yuan's words: To cross his bottom line and do things?
He was referring to her assassination attempt on Liu Ruo Qing?
So, all this time, he had been patiently waiting for this day to come? When she had cured his poison, was he going to end her himself?
At this time, she slowly recalled the scene of Liu Ruo Qing's abdomen being cut by a knife in his arms. He was in so much pain that she wished she was dead, falling unconscious by her side.
Looking back on it now, she felt how shocking that moment had been.
He had neglected the most direct and truest fact, and was only thinking of using his own beauty and figure to attract his attention. He had never thought that his gaze would be completely focused on Liu Ruo Qing, how could there be any extra eyes to pay attention to her.
To think that she still felt that she had attracted him, but she did not know that she was stepping into the cage he had specially set up for her.
From the beginning, she thought that she had schemed against him, but she didn't know that it was all because of him.
It was she who saved his life, but because she crossed his bottom line, he didn't even have the intention to show mercy.
You Miao looked at him and laughed bitterly, "Yan Yuan, you are ruthless."
Yan Yuan smiled indifferently, "How could that be? In order to repay you for saving my life, this king has decided to leave you a complete corpse."
In the midst of You Miao's panicking eyes, Yan Yuan withdrew the smile on his face and instantly became the life reaping Nether King from hell.
"Take off her skin and throw her into the unmarked cemetery!"
Yan Yuan's order not only caused the surrounding servants, but even the guards who were about to be executed sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even though the prince had been rather ruthless in the past, he had never seen him being so cruel to a woman before.
She looked at Yan Yuan in astonishment. His expression, was not to tell her that the "strip her of her skin" he had mentioned, was only referring to the time he had taken off her clothes, but also … It really skinned her.
When he thought about the bloody scene, all of the pores on Liu Ruo Qing's body stood up.
"The scene is a bit disgusting, don't look, come with me."
Yan Yuan walked in front of her, pulled her up and directly headed towards the east yard. Liu Ruo Qing followed him for a while, and finally understood why he said that he was worried about his, and came over.
Liu Ruo Qing's footsteps paused for a moment, she then turned around and looked at You Miao who was being dragged down by the guards to execute her punishment. With furrowed brows, she said to Yan Yuan: "Let's just give her a quick death. No matter what, she saved your life."
"But she almost took your life!"
Yan Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest.
Liu Ruo Qing saw that the guards were dragging You Miao further and further away, and quickly called out to them, "Wait."
The guards obeyed and stopped. Liu Ruo Qing turned to look at Yan Yuan, extended his hand and tightly gripped his hand, and said. "As long as you can stay alive, there's nothing more important to me than anything else. Moreover, I don't plan on leaving her alive, it's just that … I just wanted to give her a quick death. "
Yan Yuan still did not plan to let go. The moment he thought about the scene of his beloved wife falling in his arms, his heart tightened and it took a lot of effort before he could calm down.
"Tearing off her skin is indeed a bit too cruel for a girl, you … Just take it as a act of kindness. Since I've already committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, I might be able to do something in the future. This time, just treat it as me doing a good deed. "
didn't know where he was doing such a good deed, it was just that, if he said it like that, it was to make Yan Yuan change his mind. As long as it was related to him, Yan Yuan would definitely change his mind.
Sure enough, after Yan Yuan heard her words, his expression eased up a lot.
His gaze turned towards the dead You Miao, and spoke to the guard: "Give her a cup of venomous wine, send her on her way."
"Yes."
At this moment, You Miao actually had a feeling of relief. Compared to dying a bloody death, this made her feel that she had lost some of her dignity.
You Miao was dragged down the stairs as she turned around and walked toward the east courtyard while being pulled by Yan Yuan. Liu Ruo Qing glanced at him and said, "Actually, there's no need for you to come out at all.
"I don't want you to be charged with such a crime."
As expected …
Liu Ruo Qing sighed in her heart. She had thought of the reason why he suddenly came out of the East District just now.
There were so many people in the Duke Palaces that only a few of them knew about it. The majority of them thought that Yan Yuan and her had gotten into a huge argument over him, and now that he had invited her back, he decided to start on You Miao.
In the eyes of those people, You Miao was the Duke's savior. She had beaten him to death out of jealousy, and if word of this got out, her reputation as a jealous woman would definitely come to an end.
But if Yan Yuan was killed by someone directly, or if he was to use an even more cruel method to kill You Miao, no one would remember how much the Crown Princess Jing gave him.
Because this effect was even more shocking, it could directly cover up the fact that she was jealous of You Miao, causing her to be slapped, but from then on, Yan Yuan was charged with the crime of being ruthless, heartless, and ungrateful.
This was also why Liu Ruo Qing insisted on changing her mind to give You Miao a quick death.
At that time, if he told them that You Miao was a spy sent from the Western Regions, it would be understandable for him to want to kill You Miao.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan, slightly moved.
This man had always taken all her aspects into account, and she, apart from causing him trouble, had never seemed to help him in any way.
In his heart, Liu Ruo Qing was definitely feeling sorry for Yan Yuan.
"You are so good to me, how can I repay you?"
She pursed her lips, her voice soft, as if she was flirting with him or scratching an itch in his heart.
The corner of his lips curled upwards. "Isn't it the best way to repay someone who had given their lives?"
Liu Ruo Qing laughed at his words and glared at him unhappily.
After taking care of You Miao, the Duke Palace released news that the female Gu Doctor, who had cured the Duke previously, was a spy sent to King Jing Palace from the Western Regions to kill his highness.
