d refuse her directly like last time, thinking she'd have to put in more effort to get the Purple Jade Bead. Unexpectedly, he just pondered for a moment before speaking softly, his eyes unwavering, "O...Meanwhile, at Liúyún Palace, Su Qīngyíng returned to the palace after her mission. She didn't even bother changing out of her bloodstained crimson dress, rushing back to Liúyún Palace in a fluster.

Looking at Xi'er lying on the soft couch, still unconscious, Su Qingying felt both anxious and worried. She urgently asked, "Imperial brother, how is Xi'er's injury Can her face recover"

"His life is saved, but..." Su Ziyi's face held a hint of anger. Even though Xi'er was just a palace maid, she was from their Dongyue people. Lan Feiyu's actions were simply disregarding their Dongyue Kingdom!

"Older brother, is there truly no other way" Su Qingying knew how important beauty was to the women of this place. To ruin one's appearance was equivalent to ruining a woman's life.

Although she was skilled in medicine, she was not a god after all and could not fully restore Xi'er's beauty.

Su Ziyi looked at her, silent.

"Let the ghost doctor have a look at her, the ghost doctor's medical skills are superb, perhaps there is a way." Just when Su Qingying was despairing, a familiar demonic voice came from the door.

Lifting her gaze, she saw Jun Liye enter with the Ghost Doctor.

"Jun Liye, what's this..." Su Qingying stared blankly as Jun Liye walked towards her.

Although she wasn't close to him, she knew Jun Liye's character well. It was impossible for him to lower himself and specially bring a ghost doctor to see Xi'er's wounds. The reason behind it was obvious if one just thought about it for a moment, but she stubbornly refused to delve deeper, preferring to selfishly believe that he was doing it out of consideration for the friendship between their two countries.

"I know everything about your affair. First, let the ghost doctor take a look at her." Jun Liye glared at her bloodstained body, his bloodshot eyes deepening. His gaze held suppressed killing intent.

To actually dare to make her so angry, Lan Bo and the rest of them should all die!

Su Ziyi never expected Jun Liye to actually bring people here in person. His face was a bit complicated, "Northling Regent Prince, thank you."

"Eastern Mountain Prince, please don't be so polite. It was nothing at all." Jun Liye said.

"Jun Liye, thank you," Su Qingying softly spoke. For some reason, she felt a sense of security with Jun Liye around.

"I know you care about this girl. You would be heartbroken if she died," he spoke, his gaze so soft that Su Qingying was startled once again. She quickly averted her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze any longer. She was afraid of misinterpreting his meaning and even more afraid of being truly captivated by his eyes.

The quack doctor looked at Xier's facial scars with infinite pity and said, "Alas, this girl's facial scars are probably going to leave a scar."

“How could this happen Is there no other way Just tell me what herbs you need, I’ll go find them. As long as you can restore Xi'er's face to its original state.” Su Qingying's heart sank when she heard this. She almost lost control and rushed forward, grabbing the Ghost Doctor, her phoenix eyes bloodshot.

If even a ghost doctor can't help, what is Xier to do How will her Xier face the eyes of the world and live on

"Ying'er! Behave yourself."

"Ghost doctor, this king demands you cure this girl." Jun Liye stepped forward, pulled Su Qingying away, and issued a direct command to the ghost doctor.

The quack, burdened by immense pressure, said to the master, “My lord, I truly am helpless. Miss Xi’er's wound is too severe, deep to the bone, and the technique used was so direct. It's a miracle she's even alive.”

Su lightly paced, her heart filled with infinite self-blame. "How could this happen It's all my fault. I implicated Xi’er. If it weren't for me, Lan Feiyu wouldn't have come after Xi’er. I harmed her."

"Ying'er, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself like this." Su Ziyi consoled her.

Jun Liye had never seen such a Su Qingying before. His heart ached instantly, his brows furrowed with murderous intent, wishing he could cut Lan Feiyu a thousand times over.

"Princess Dongxuan, His Majesty requests your presence at the Hall of Golden Dragons." Xiao Fuzī came to deliver the message on Emperor Xuan Yuanluochen's orders.

“It seems that Lan Bo and Lan Xin Yao have entered the palace to see Xuan Yuan Luo Chen. The visitors are not kind, they are probably here for you, so be careful!” Jun Li Ye’s eyes narrowed, a hint of understanding appeared on his face, as he softly reminded Su Qing Ying.

"Humph, just in time. I was about to go find them and settle the score!" Su Qingying's phoenix eyes were clear and cold, her blood-stained red clothes causing one's heart to tremble. She took the lead and walked towards the Golden Hall.

"Let's go, the show is about to begin!" Leaving Mo Xuan behind, Jun Liye followed Su Qingying step by step, and the others also followed suit.

"Your Majesty, Princess Dongyue has arrived."

"Su Qingying! You have such a vicious heart, where has Yu'er offended you that you not only ruined her appearance but also destroyed her innocence! You are truly heartless!"

Seeing Su Qingying, Lan Bo Yi immediately thought of his own daughter's pitiful state. He angrily pointed at her and roared, but he never considered that if it weren't for Lan Feiy who had provoked others first, she would not have ended up like this.

"Slap!" A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, Su Qingying strode several large steps to Lan Bo's side and slapped him across the face with her hand. The sound was crisp and loud, causing the entire Jinluan Palace to fall into an eerie silence.

Lan Bo felt his old face was about to be ruined by Su Qingying. His mind went blank for a long time, no one expected that Su Qingying would be so bold as to attack him in front of the Golden Hall.

"Su Qingying, in my presence you dare to lay your hands on me You are utterly reckless! Your Majesty, if you do not punish Su Qingying, it will only chill the hearts of us loyal ministers!"

This was a slap in the face, leaving no room for mercy. Lan Bo was furious, but he didn't dare fight back. He could only kneel down and weep uncontrollably, reporting to Xuan Yuan Luo Chen.

Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's eyes flashed, but he remained silent, staring intently at Su Qing Ying. He didn't intend to pay any attention to him, leaving Lan Bo feeling rather awkward.

"Silence! My name is not for you to utter. You are unworthy!"

Su Qingying pressed down her root, not treating Xuen Yuan Luocheng as a matter of importance. So what if he was the emperor As long as she didn't buy it, who could possibly do anything to her

Looking at Lan Bo coldly, Su Qingying's voice was chillingly emotionless. "A child who misbehaves is a reflection of his parents' failings. Look at the kind of person you raised. Don't you even want to ask her what she did to me"

Lan Bo choked, this he hadn't asked about, but hearing Su Qingying's tone, it was very likely that the fool had done something stupid again while he was away.

Thinking of this, Lan Bo's arrogance suddenly dropped, but he still argued with a red face and thick neck: "Even if Yu'er was wrong first, that girl is just a lowly palace maid after all. Why do you have to be so ruthless You ruined Yu'er's entire life. You are so cruel!"

“A palace maid What's wrong with a palace maid In my eyes, Lan Feiyu is nothing, simply worse than pigs and dogs! Xi’er is mine, that brainless idiot, Lan Feiyu, dared to hurt her. I really regret not calling more men to kill her!” Su Qingying spoke angrily, her eyes shot at him fiercely, her face covered with a bloodthirsty ruthlessness.

Lan Bo's face was trembling with rage. His finger pointed accusingly at Su Qingying, and he could feel a surge of blood rushing to his throat, his vision blurring. "Su Qingying, you are too ruthless! You are so cruel! Your Majesty, Su Qingying not only shows no remorse for such an act but also remains so arrogant and brazen. I beg Your Majesty to rule in my favor and give me justice!"ionate onslaught.The belt was torn, a big hand reached in, wantonly touching and teasing his body, igniting fire everywhere. Su Ziyue's face flushed red, the original cold anger in his eyes gave way t...
