Chapter 83

83 A villain

News of men’s death and the fact that her house was haunted by screams spread all over the entire town, Liu Hui Ying knew that sooner or later she will be dragged into a heavy mess and coupled with the guilt she felt towards her sister, she was willing to tie her sister’s soul with hers.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a foolish experiment but she somehow manage to succeed in it.

Now that her sister’s soul was within her body, she was able to restrain things like death with the heavy yin and cadaveric Qi, as long as she wasn’t willing a person wouldn’t die easily.

The maid whose heart was wrapped up by the Yin energy of the dead wouldn’t die unless Liu Hui Ying was willing to retract the Yin energy from her heart. She would feel the pain of her heart being torn and pierced but she will never die, not unless Liu Hui Ying agrees.

” Surprising is it not?” She asked the maid who was staring at her with terror in her eyes. ” Your heart has been stabbed but you are still alive, if I may say that’s really scary isn’t it?”

“Scary?” Yu Lingyun mused beside Zhai Heng as he took several steps back, then remembered that he was this close to seeing the Queen’s unhinged side, he was so terrified that his legs turned to jelly. “It’s not scary, it down right some crazy fcked up thing, she has stabbed the heart of that maid and yet the maid is still alive and breathing, painfully but even then she is alive is she not? How is that even possible?”

Zhai Heng did not know any better than him, he couldn’t understand how in the world the Queen was able to do it. But he didn’t agree with Yu Lingyun, the thing did look scary but it wasn’t unhinged or mad, it was smart. She has delivered the pain of death to the maid and yet she hasn’t killed her off meaning that the maid has been cornered to an end successfully.

If the Queen was telling the truth then the maid wouldn’t have any other choice but to say the truth and admit that she was indeed involved in an assassination attempt.

” And do you know what is even scarier?” Liu Hui Ying continued with a bright smile on her face but that smile didn’t reach her eyes, the two mysterious orbs were filled with cold fury while she stared at the maid. ” That I can keep you alive for seven days or more like this, if you don’t speak the truth then I have more than one way to make you regurgitate everything that you know.”

.....

The maid’s eyes widened in terror, even now she was wishing that she would somehow die to make this pain go away and here the queen was telling her that she have to stay like this for a week if she didn’t tell her the truth.

” But if you speak honestly, then I will give you a swift death like that friend of yours,” Liu Hui Ying added as she enunciated each word. ” You want to die right?”

She did, she wanted to die as soon as possible but if she was, to tell the truth then she would be dying in vain wouldn’t she?

Seeing that the maid was hesitating, Liu Hui Ying twisted the sword that was sticking in her chest ever so slightly, her moments were light but the consequences of her actions were terrifying, the maid screamed out in pain as if a pig was being butchered alive.

” I did tell you that I am not a patient person,” stated Liu Hui Ying over the screams of the maid. ” I can adjust the level of pain that you are feeling to light, heavy and mild...it depends on my mood and currently I am really pissed off, if you do not want to die a pain worse than an animal, you better tell me who is the one behind you.” She paused and then swiftly added, ” Don’t think that you will be dying in vain, think about it carefully if the person behind you didn’t make things difficult for you and the maid then you wouldn’t be suffering like this, it’s the fault of that master of yours who did this to you. Don’t you want to make them pay? Or do you want to suffer alone like this?”

” No, please no! I will speak, I will tell you the truth!” The maid was terrified when she heard that she will have to suffer, even more, she closed her eyes and spat out. “It’s concubine Chu! She was the one who ordered me and Xiao Min to kill concubine Ji and then pin the blame ...ah, pin the blame on the Queen.”

” There is more,” said Liu Hui Ying as she turned to look at Ji Yu who looked shocked and dropped her gaze at her womb which seemed to be covered with dense black mist, from the looks of it, it will take a lot of efforts on concubine Ji’s part to become a mother. ” Your master asked you to do something more to the concubine didn’t she?”

” She asked us to add poison to concubine Ji’s food,” confessed the maid with tears brimming in her eyes. ” The quantity of the poison is low and the concubine never found out but it harmed her womb.”

” You bitch!” Xiaolin was the first one to shout out loud as she stared at the maid who harmed her missy so badly, she wished she could rush up and tear the maid into bits but she stopped herself, the Queen already had the maid suffering enough for her sins. ” My missy treated you so well and you ..you harmed her like this?”

Ji Yu was so shocked that she swayed on the spot her hands clutching her womb, Zhai Tianyu was even more stunned. He didn’t love Ji Yu as a man would do to a woman but he cherished her and wanted the heir to the throne to be birthed by Ji Yu...now, what?

” Tsk, Tsk, you are clearly a villain,” said Liu Hui Ying with a click of her tongue. ” I always wanted to see whether the heart of a villain was black or not, it’s a good thing... looks like I will be finally satiating my curiosity.”

And then she wrenched the maid’s heart out of her body.
