The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 159 No way to save the day

Just then, a startling sight appeared on Su Chengde's chest—a small, visible lump bulged out from his chest, like a lively little insect, moving rapidly across his chest.

This little bag seems to have its own life force; it moves incredibly fast, leaving people speechless.

Su Fuying was not frightened by this strange sight. Instead, she quickly turned around and grabbed Liu Hui's hand tightly.

Her movements were decisive and resolute. The dagger in her hand flashed across Liu Hui's wrist like lightning, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the entire room red.

For Liu Hui, this pain was nothing at all.

At that moment, all she cared about was the area around her heart that she was clutching; the pain there made her let out cries of agony.

Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat; she looked to be in great pain.

"Su Fuying, how could you hurt your mother?"

Madam Liu stared wide-eyed, angrily questioning Su Fuying.

Seeing everything unfolding before her, she finally understood the truth and knew their purpose for today.

This method of extracting poison is an extremely cruel practice in Miao areas.

Only one side can survive, and the Miao people would never use such a method unless absolutely necessary.

Su Fuying ignored Madam Liu's questions and accusations, her gaze fixed on Su Chengde's chest.

The bulge moved faster and faster, as if it had been greatly stimulated, and it was rampaging through Su Chengde's body.

"what!"

Su Chengde also let out a series of wails. Physician He finally came to his senses and was about to cut open Su Chengde's skin with a knife when Su Fuying calmly stopped him.

“The time is not up yet,” Su Fuying repeated.

After what had just happened, Physician He now regarded Su Fuying as a divine being and believed her words without a doubt.

However, Su Fuying had other plans. The time had actually come long ago, but letting Su Chengde get rid of his suffering so easily would be too good for him.

After a while, Su Chengde's thin body was covered with blue veins, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that they made a grinding sound.

Liu Hui, lying on the ground, fainted from the excruciating pain. Due to massive blood loss, her face was as pale as paper, making her look like a dead person.

Madam Liu secretly regretted not bringing enough people with her today, never expecting Su Fuying to be so arrogant and domineering.

Seeing her daughter lying lifeless on the ground, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.

At this moment, Su Fuying noticed the old lady's worried expression. After hesitating slightly, she finally picked up the knife and gently cut the skin on Su Chengde's chest.

"No, you can't!" Madam Liu cried out in alarm, her eyes bloodshot, "I have another way to save Minister Su, please don't hurt my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Su Fuying raised an eyebrow and a half-smile appeared on her lips. A silver needle appeared in her hand at some point, its tip gleaming coldly, and she plunged it into Liu Hui's chest.

"really?"

"nature,!"

Seeing that her words had worked, Madam Liu was overjoyed and quickly continued, "I have a way to ensure that both of them can live, and that Minister Su can be free from suffering."

She thought to herself that this was the best they could do, and judging from their expressions, they didn't seem sure about it. So if there were other, better methods, they would definitely be interested.

Thinking this through, Madam Liu felt that she had grasped the other party's psychological weakness. She secretly gave the substitute nanny behind her a wink, signaling her to step forward.

The old woman understood and carefully avoided Ying Er's sharp sword. She slowly approached Su Fuying, her voice hoarse and low, like the harsh sound of an old violin being played.

Su Fuying then took a closer look at the old woman in front of her.

Su Fuying then took a good look at the old woman's appearance.

She was dressed in simple maid's clothes, but the unique temperament she exuded was quite different from that of ordinary servants.

She bent over, slowly tilted her head back, revealing a face covered in freckles.

Upon closer inspection, however, those spots were not ordinary blemishes, but rather resembled pustules left by bites from unknown insects, which was disgusting.

She rolled up her sleeve, revealing an arm covered with only a layer of dry, withered skin, covered with winding, dark purple veins that looked like ugly worms crawling on her skin.

Those present felt a chill run down their spines as they watched her pull a bronze-colored knife from her bosom, slash her arm, and the black blood that flowed out emitted a pungent, fishy stench.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

The old lady stepped forward and blocked the old woman's hand, which was about to drip blood onto Su Chengde, her tone displeased.

"This is a secret technique. Wen Po's blood can draw out the mother Gu, which will then die directly, so that neither of them will have to suffer anymore."

Madam Liu stood aside and explained, her eyes sweeping contemptuously over everyone present, as if she were speaking to a group of ignorant people, making her seem superior.

"grandmother."

Su Fuying called out softly, a dark look flashing in her eyes.

The old lady's brow suddenly relaxed, and she turned around to make way.

The old woman confidently stretched out her hand, and drops of dark blood fell onto the knife wound on Su Chengde's chest.

"what!"

Su Chengde suddenly let out a heavy shout, gripping the bedding tightly with both hands, his body stiffening.

Chengde.

The old lady looked anxious and was about to step forward to check on him when she noticed Su Fuying's calm expression, and her tension eased a little.

Seeing this, Madam Liu's lips curled into a triumphant smile. "Hahaha. You bunch of vile women, you really haven't seen anything like this before. Su Chengde is doomed now, I'll see what you all do..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt, because Liu Hui, who had been quiet on the ground, suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Upon closer inspection, a worm the size of a fingernail lay lifeless in the mass of black blood.

"Hui'er? Hui'er!"

Madam Liu shouted and rushed forward, kneeling down beside Liu Hui. She reached out and shook Liu Hui repeatedly, trying to wake her up.

However, the person on the ground did not respond at all, and even the rise and fall of their chest became weaker.

"Grandma Wen, Grandma Wen, come quickly and see what's wrong with Hui'er!"

Madam Liu was completely distraught and could only place all her hopes on the old woman behind her.

Shiva stared in shock at what was happening before him, muttering, "How could this be?"

"Madam, it's too late to save Miss."

After examining her, Granny Wen released Liu Hui's hand, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
