Chapter 200 - Punishment in Hell

This surge of inner strength rushed towards Greenwood and struck him squarely in the chest.

"Puff …"

Qing Mu spat out a mouthful of blood as he suffered this sharp blow.

Tian Sisi stared blankly at the man with the cold face, then kneeled on the ground, "Master!"

The man lowered his head to look at her. His gaze was as cold as ice.

Tian Sisi's heart was perturbed, she secretly glanced at the green wood whose lips were dyed with fresh blood.

Greenwood quickly kneeled on the ground and pleaded for her, "My Lord, Si'er was just forced by her own will!"

The man pulled up his robes and sat down, then suddenly grabbed Tian Sisi's chin which had become sharper due to the weight loss, and exerted force.

"Hiss —"

Tian Sisi felt as if her lower jaw was about to be crushed, but she did not dare beg for mercy, afraid that she would anger her master even more.

The man looked at her haggard little face that had become distorted due to jealousy and hatred, "Tian Sisi, what did this reputed one tell you before, hmm?"

"This subordinate will firmly remember Master's words!"

"You keep that in mind?"

The man raised his voice, but each word of his was like a heavy hammer weighing a thousand kilograms as he ruthlessly hammered at Tian Sisi's heart. It caused her face to be pulled away bit by bit, becoming as pale as paper.

"Master, your subordinate did not take good care of you!" Greenwood was extremely worried, and his tone was anxious to take responsibility.

The man's sharp gaze swept across Qing Mu. Qing Mu's expression stiffened. His lips parted, but he was unable to say a single word.

"Tian Sisi, you still can't forget about Prince Chu, but what's the use? Do you know that the General Ming Yuan has sent people to look for you in the surroundings? If this matter gets out of hand, even if you ruin my plan, it will be useless even if you die ten thousand times! "

Tian Sisi looked startled, she never thought that the situation would actually escalate to such a huge extent!

"My lord, this subordinate knows his wrongs. I shall return now!" Tian Sisi spoke with difficulty, her eyes filled with fear.

"I don't want to part with you, but I have to punish you this time!"

Greenwood's expression also abruptly changed, "My Lord, Si'er is a woman after all!"

Everyone knew that once they angered their lord, the punishment would be like going to hell.

Tian Sisi was afraid that the odds were against her this time!

"On the account that you are still of some use, I will make a lighter move!"

Tian Sisi's entire body was trembling, afraid that she would die just like that.

But, thinking about it, death was also a good thing.

What was the use of living with a person like her?

But, she was not willing, she was not willing to continue being in love with Xiao Qingqian!

A pill was stuffed into her mouth. Very quickly, her body felt like it was being gnawed on by millions of worms, and even the seams of her bones hurt.

Tian Sisi rolled on the ground in pain as her clothes were drenched in sweat.

After a wave of pain, she felt weak as if she had shed a layer of skin.

Very quickly, another larger wave of pain struck. Tian Sisi's hands dug into the floor and pleaded in a low voice, "Master, your subordinate was wrong!"

Greenwood also wanted to plead on her behalf, but when he met the man's eyes that were like the abyss, he choked on his throat, unable to say a single word.

The man looked at him. "Greenwood, watch your strength."

Tian Sisi had almost chased Xiao Qingqian all the way to the capital. If he did not make her suffer a little, General Ming Yuan would not be an idiot, he would definitely suspect something in his heart.

Qing Mu pursed her lips, avoided Tian Sisi's face with the whip in her hand, and continued to hit her.

When the skin on her body was ripped open and the air was filled with the smell of blood, the man finally stopped his search for Greenwood.

"Send her back!"

Seeing her like this, he believed that the General Ming Yuan would not doubt her.

Qing Mu's heart ached, but she was helpless. She hugged Tian Sisi and left her where the people from General Ming Yuan could find her, then hid away.

Seeing that the General Ming Yuan had brought her back, Qing Mu appeared.

Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian finally entered the capital. These past few days, they had gotten along with each other and Wei Qing felt that she was no longer as hateful as she was before.

However, Xiao Qingqian still did not wait for Wei Qing to take the initiative, causing him to be somewhat disappointed.

"Third Sister-in-Law, you're back?"

When An Ran heard that she was about to return to the capital, she had been waiting for her every day in the private room of the teahouse near the city gate. When she saw her today, she was incomparably excited and quickly ran towards her like a bird.

Wei Qing was startled, and quickly dismounted, "Why are you waiting here?"

"Forget about me, Chen Cheng and the rest said that you guys split up into two and told me about the dangers on the way here. I have been feeling uneasy this entire time, and I was truly happy to see you return safely."

Wei Qing laughed and poked her forehead as she lowered her voice and said, "Seeing how pleased you are with yourself, you should be getting along well with Prince Consort recently, right?"

An Ran laughed, "The conflict between Chengfeng and Zuo Xinci is getting bigger and bigger, Chengfeng came over to me from her room last night. I heard that Zuo Xinci threw everything down. "

"You just have to wait and see!" Wei Qing warned.

"Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the tavern to welcome Third Brother's Third Sister-in-Law and cleanse the world. I must come!" An Jing looked at Xiao Qingqian and felt that their relationship with the south was much better than before.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrow, "Alright."

Knowing that they had just returned to the capital, Xiao Qingqian was sure to enter the palace again. The journey to Wei Qing must have been tormented quite a bit, to need a good cleaning up.

Just as he was about to reach the Prince Chu’s Mansion, Wei Qing wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Estate.

Xiao Qingqian's expression suddenly darkened. "You are now Princess Chu, the legal and proper wife of this king, and the water splashed by your married daughter. If you are afraid of the Prime Minister Wei being worried, this king will send someone to report it."

He was actually afraid that Wei Qing would stay in the Prime Minister's Estate and not return.

Although this idea was laughable, he was truly afraid.

Although Wei Qing was furious, he still followed him back to the Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Xiao Qingqian cast a sidelong glance at her. "The bath room s that go to this king's chambers are somewhat bigger."

Suddenly, he remembered that Yun Che had mentioned on the way that he wanted her to move into his hall. Wei Qing shrunk her neck, "I still prefer the bathtub."

The space between his eyebrows was almost twisted into a lump. "Hm?"

This single syllable was full of danger.

Wei Qing weighed the pros and cons, and in the end, could only bite the bullet and go to bath room s in his chambers, while Xiao Qingqian simply packed up a few things before directly entering the palace.

He had not been in the warm water for a long time, so even at the tavern, Wei Qing could only take a quick bath. This time, he was like a mermaid in the water, swimming with great pleasure.
