The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Yun Qingluo gave him a bottle, carrying some pills. “This is the other half of the cure.”

Why did she surrender it so quickly? Di Fuyi took a sniff and was somewhat certain that it was the right bottle of pills. However, something was not right. He demanded, “Give me both portions of the cure.”

Hesitantly, Yun Qingluo gave him the other half as requested. The bottles were red and green. Without warning, Di Fuyi took the Emei Sword in his hand and said, “Pardon me.” He then made a cut on her wrist.

It was a gentle cut but was enough to make her bleed. She was poisoned.

“How many pills do you need?” He asked.

Yun Qingluo closed her eyes and answered calmly, “One each.”

Di Fuyi gave her two pills. She first took the red one, then the green one. Next, she meditated to put the pills into effect.

Di Fuyi kept the bottles and observed her quietly. After a while, Yun Qingluo opened her eyes and met Di Fuyi’s intense gaze.

“Just like that?” He asked.

Yun Qingluo responded with a firm nod.

Di Fuyi had to read her pulse to see if she was telling the truth. He did not touch her skin but placed his fingers right on top of her sleeve.

From the readings of her pulse, the toxins in her body seemed to have been detoxified. The pills seemed to be reliable. Relieved, Di Fuyi threw another stern look at her. “You’d better not lie to me; otherwise, I will make sure that you suffer the consequences.” He then left swiftly.

Yun Qingluo closed her eyes as he left. She seemed quite depressed about his attitude. Moments later, a smile appeared on her face as she broke into hysterical laughter. Worried that she might alarm the guards, she decided to keep quiet. The look in her eyes was completely malicious.

She knew exactly that Di Fuyi was on his way to send the second half of the cure to Gu Xijiu. However, it was already too late for her to take the second pill. The pill would not work as a cure. Instead, it would push her another step closer to death. She would surely be dead if she took the other half of the pill.

Yun Qingluo was not happy about how Di Fuyi treated her, especially after all that they had been through together. It was her revenge for the betrayal of this heartless man. She wanted to make sure that he watched as the woman he loved slowly died in front of him.

She started laughing hysterically as she murmured on.

“Are you so happy?” A voice suddenly emerged.

Utterly surprised, Yuanyuan turned and saw Di Fuyi standing at her door. She paused to see his silhouette. She could not see his expression, but could obviously feel the pressure that he exerted.

Yun Qingluo’s face turned pale. “You… You…”

Di Fuyi walked into the room at a slow pace. “You thought that I had already left? Yun Qingluo, I have warned you before not to play any tricks. It looks like you refuse to be convinced until you are faced with grim reality.”

Yun Qingluo had nothing to hide, for all her plans had been exposed. “Kill me! I will happily die, as long as the woman joins me in death.”

She had been thinking about killing herself for a while now. She believed that he would not be able to do anything against someone who was so ready to die.

Di Fuyi thought about what she said for a moment and burst out laughing. Smilingly, he gave her a warning, “Yun Qingluo, I did not know you had plans to take your own life. Don’t worry; I will let you know what is worse than death.”
