Chapter 153 No injustice or hatred
Chen Yu's face was as gloomy as water, and he walked quickly to Yun Muheng's side.
He pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely solemn, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we have found out who kidnapped the princess."
Hearing these words, Yun Muheng frowned, and his already deep eyes became as icy as a cold pond.
He couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me! Who is so bold as to touch my princess?"
Chen Yu took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's...it's Princess Qianqian."
Upon hearing this, Yun Muheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
The dangerous light was like lightning that cut through the night sky, making people's hearts palpitate. For a moment, no one could guess what he was thinking.
After a moment's silence, Yun Muheng spoke again, but this time his tone was even colder than ice: "Have you found the specific location where the princess was kidnapped?"
Chen Yu hurriedly bowed his head and clasped his fists, replying, "Your Highness, we are still fully investigating this matter. As soon as we have any clues or confirmed information, we will report to you immediately."
Just as the two were talking, in a dilapidated temple far outside the city, Ye Chuxue, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, finally woke up slowly.
She only felt dizzy and painful in her head, especially the tingling sensation in her forehead, which made her frown tightly.
I subconsciously wanted to raise my hand to touch the painful area, but soon found that I couldn't move at all.
Ye Chuxue seemed to be struck by lightning. Her body trembled violently and she instantly woke up from the chaos.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked around at the dilapidated environment full of dust and cobwebs, feeling confused and uneasy.
I tried hard to recall what had happened before, and the picture in my mind gradually became clearer.
She remembered that she was walking alone on the street when suddenly a group of people emerged from nowhere and surrounded her like a tide.
Before she could react, she smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose.
In an instant, the world spun, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into complete darkness.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but sneer at herself, "How ridiculous! To think that I, a person extremely proficient in both medicine and poisons, could be so easily knocked unconscious by a mere drug. If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone will laugh their heads off."
She was secretly upset and wondering who had the guts to kidnap her.
After all, she has been staying at home obediently in recent days and has not had any conflicts or disputes with anyone.
Just when Ye Chuxue was full of doubts, she suddenly heard a very familiar female voice coming from outside the door.
All I heard was the woman asking in a cold tone, "Have you kidnapped the person?"
Then another man replied respectfully, "My lord, the person has been kidnapped and is now inside the house.
And according to your instructions, she has been tied up tightly. Even if she had wings, she would not be able to fly away."
The woman nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Well done! Once this is completed, I will reward you handsomely!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a creaking sound, and the wooden door, which already looked shabby, was suddenly pushed open from the outside!
In an instant, the strong and dazzling sunlight outside the door surged in like a tide, shining directly on Ye Chuxue's fair face.
The sudden light caused a sharp pain in her eyes. She shrank back involuntarily and subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.
At this moment, a figure stepped into the room. It was Xue Qianqian, dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, her skirt swaying gently with her steps.
When her eyes fell on Ye Chuxue's slightly embarrassed appearance, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a contemptuous smile quietly emerged.
Then, she opened her red lips slightly and chuckled in a slightly mocking tone, "Oh, what's the matter? Looking at your behavior, are you really so reluctant to see this princess?
Are you afraid that after seeing you, I, the princess, will be unable to suppress my murderous intent and will eliminate you?"
After a long while, Ye Chuxue gradually adapted to the bright light and slowly opened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes were now filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness. She glared at Xue Qianqian fiercely and responded unhappily, "Since you knew full well that I didn't want to see you, why bother going to all that trouble to 'invite' me here? Do you think this is funny?"
After a brief pause, Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and continued, "Come to think of it, there seems to be no grudge between us, right? But now you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qianqian was stunned at first, then she suddenly threw her head back and burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Hahahaha... no grudges or hatred? How dare you say that to this princess? It's ridiculous!"
Suddenly, her eyes widened, her eyeballs seemed to be bulging out of their sockets, and she stared at Ye Chuxue fiercely and like a poisonous snake.
At this moment, her face was hideous and distorted, like an evil ghost that had struggled to crawl out from the depths of the eighteen levels of hell, and her whole body exuded a creepy aura.
"Don't think I don't know who's behind all this! After I got this strange disease for no apparent reason, my whole body was covered with dense red bumps. It was painful and itchy, and it was a living hell!
And all this pain and suffering is all because of you!"
She roared through gnashing teeth, her voice sharp and piercing, filled with endless resentment and anger.
Facing such accusations, Ye Chuxue only raised her eyebrows slightly and responded coldly, "Oh? Really? You can't just accuse someone without any evidence!
You say all this is because of me, but do you have any solid evidence? If you can't produce any real evidence, then it's just blatant slander!
Don't forget, I am the legitimate princess and your sister-in-law! You are so rude and presumptuous, you have committed the crime of disrespect and are committing an act of insubordination! "
Hearing this, Xue Qianqian snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Evidence? Humph! Every word I say is evidence! It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. Anyway, since you've fallen into my hands today, don't even think about leaving here alive!"
Seeing this, Ye Chuxue knew something was wrong and quickly warned, "Think carefully! If your actions are exposed, even your biological mother may not be able to save you!"
However, Xue Qianqian had already fallen into a state of madness at this moment and seemed completely unable to listen to any advice.
Ye Chuxue secretly looked at the woman in front of him who was almost losing her mind, while quickly thinking of a way to escape.
She knew very well that Xue Qianqian was now blinded by hatred and was likely capable of doing anything.
"Humph! I killed you today, who would have seen it? I, the princess, have never left the mansion. Who could possibly trace it back to me?"
Along with this cold snort, Xue Qianqian's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a cold and cruel smile.
After saying that, she took light steps and slowly walked towards Ye Chuxue.
When she walked to Ye Chuxue's side, Xue Qianqian suddenly stretched out her right hand and tightly grabbed Ye Chuxue's collar with such force that she almost tore the thin clothes.
Because her collar was tightly grasped, Ye Chuxue was forced to raise her head and face Xue Qianqian's angry face.
At this moment, Xue Qianqian had long lost the dignity and elegance of a lady from a noble family, and instead had a ferocious and vicious look on her face.
Her beautiful eyes were now flashing with anger; her originally rosy lips had turned pale and bloodless due to clenching her teeth.
The words squeezed out from between his teeth were as cold as ice: "Don't think I don't know that Shi Chu is you! You vicious woman, you actually poisoned me,
Then you disguised yourself as a man to help me detoxify me, and even swindled me out of a full 150,000 taels of silver! You're truly audacious!"
"When you saw me foolishly confessing my feelings to you, did you despise me in your heart?
You must feel really good watching me make a fool of myself like a clown, right?
Humph! How dare you so recklessly play with this princess? You should have expected this fate today!"
