The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 161 Bullying the King

Granny Wen realized that something was wrong and immediately tried to retreat and run away, but Su Fuying would not let her succeed.

A flash of cold light appeared at her fingertips, and a bloodcurdling scream instantly echoed in the room.

At the same time, the flying insects in the room seemed to be frozen in place, losing their ability to move.

Their movements gradually slowed down, one after another... Finally, the dark mass of flying insects in the air fell to the ground, completely losing their life.

"No!"

With a piercing scream, Granny Wen's face twisted and became ferocious, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

She stared in horror at the mountain of dead insects piled up on the ground, the fruits of her life's work and effort.

Each insect was once a precious treasure she had carefully nurtured and trained, but now it had become a cold corpse. How could she accept this?

Immediately afterwards, Granny Wen lowered her head, her gaze falling on the gleaming needle on her chest.

Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost, and she stared at Su Fuying in disbelief.

"You...how could you...how could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a thick stream of black blood gushed from her mouth.

Black blood splattered on the ground, making a sizzling sound and filling the air with a pungent odor.

Su Fuying frowned, took a few steps back with a look of disgust, and kept her distance from her.

She watched as Granny Wen's body gradually lost its strength, collapsing to the ground like a puddle of mud with a dull thud.

Wen Po's face turned as pale as paper, and her lips lost all color.

Her eyes were filled with fear and despair. She tried to struggle, but her body was paralyzed, and she could only watch helplessly as her life slipped away.

Finally, Granny Wen's breathing stopped, her eyes slowly closed, and her sinful life came to an end.

Su Fuying stood quietly to the side, watching all this unfold without a trace of pity in her heart.

She felt only deep disgust and aversion to such evil people.

Madam Liu stood aside, watching everything unfold before her eyes in a daze, not even having time to wipe the smug, arrogant smile from her face.

"Wen Po?"

She called out softly and cautiously, but the person on the ground did not respond, as if they had already lost the breath of life.

"Wen Po!"

Suddenly, Madam Liu's expression changed drastically. She rushed forward without thinking, knelt beside Granny Wen, and shouted loudly in a fit of rage.

She shook Granny Wen's body, hoping to get some response, but Granny Wen kept her eyes tightly closed and remained lifeless.

"Su Fuying! How could you possibly kill Granny Wen!"

Madam Liu screamed in agony, her desperate cries vibrating in our ears.

Su Fuying did not answer; her gaze was somewhat solemn as she examined the unconscious Ying Er.

Her hands moved so fast they left afterimages. Biluo's eyes were red and swollen with tears. "Miss, you must save her."

Biluo spoke anxiously. Ying Er had been injured while protecting her, and a large lump had formed where he had been bitten by the strange insect. His neck was visibly swelling rapidly, and pus was beginning to ooze from the wound.

Su Fuying gave her a reassuring look and said calmly, "He'll be fine."

Madam Liu cried out from the side, repeatedly questioning Su Fuying why she had killed Granny Wen.

But Su Fuying still didn't have time to pay attention to her; she knew that the most important thing now was to save Ying Er.

She took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to Shadow Two.

Then, use your internal energy to dissolve the pill, allowing its medicinal properties to take effect as quickly as possible.

Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Fuying's forehead.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were firm and focused.

Finally, Shadow Two's breathing gradually calmed down, and his pulse became stronger.

Su Fuying breathed a sigh of relief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Biro, take him back."

After giving his orders, Su Fuying looked coldly at Madam Liu, who was still crying on Liu Hui's body, and revealed an undisguised bloodlust in his eyes.

"Doctor He."

Still lost in his own world, Physician He trembled upon hearing the voice and immediately replied, "What are your orders, Princess?"

"Today, the wife of the Grand Secretary colluded with the Miao people to harm officials of the court. Her daughter, the wife of the Minister, poisoned her husband, committing a grave crime of disrespect. Overwhelmed with remorse, she committed suicide."

The woman spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, as if she were narrating an extremely ordinary matter, but every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Madam Liu's heart.

Physician He looked troubled and hesitated, saying, "This... I'm afraid I can't do that."

Judging from Su Fu's words, he was to report this to the emperor, but how could he dare?

Meeting Su Fuying's dark eyes, Physician He felt a chill run down his spine and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "I really dare not commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"What constitutes deceiving the emperor?" the woman asked, raising an eyebrow. Before Physician He could answer, she continued, "It is true that the wife of the Grand Secretary colluded with the Miao poisoners, it is true that she tried to murder Minister Su, it is true that Liu Hui used witchcraft to harm her husband, and it is true that she had a change of heart and died to save Minister Su."

"Imperial Physician He, I wonder which of my words has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Her tone was low, and it didn't sound like she was deliberately emphasizing it, but it contained an undeniable power.

Physician He stroked his beard, pondering carefully, and suddenly felt that Su Fuying's words made a lot of sense, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute them.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This Princess Yongle is too good with words."

Just then, Su Fuying spoke again, saying, "Regarding the matter of the Gu poison today, this princess still has many things she would like to discuss with Physician He. I wonder if Physician He would do her the honor?"

"Very well, we will do as the princess says!"

Upon hearing this, Physician He's eyes lit up as if he had seen a mountain of gold and silver laid out before him. He was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, and he agreed without hesitation.

Then, he bowed to the old lady and hurried out, afraid that if he was a step too slow, Su Fuying would change her mind.

His steps appeared somewhat hurried, even comical, but at this moment he couldn't care less about that; all he could think about was completing the task as quickly as possible.

Just as he reached the doorway, a figure suddenly appeared in his direction. Caught off guard, Physician He nearly bumped into it. Fortunately, he steadied himself in time, avoiding a collision.

"Master Bai?"

When Physician He saw the newcomer, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected to encounter Lord Bai, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, here, and was quite taken aback.

"Doctor He."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review bowed slightly and greeted Physician He.

His expression was serious, his gaze sharp, giving him an air of authority.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, moving quickly and in an orderly fashion, carrying the corpses of the maids and servants on the ground away.
