I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Please spare my life, Commandant!"

"I have already removed the needle."

"But I am truly powerless to treat the poison on the needle. The antidote in the army is completely insufficient to cure such a potent poison."

"Your Highness, yes! Your Highness must have the antidote!"

"The Crown Prince is of noble birth and of extremely high status. The medicines he carries with him are far superior to those I have!"

Wei Hongying then released the elderly military doctor and, with Chun Tao's help, rushed towards Qin Li's residence, supporting the barely alive Xia Liu.

After Xia Liu was hit by Fang Yuan's flying needle, the two women helped her to the nearest military medical station, where they found the best military doctor to treat her.

The needles in his shoulder were removed, but the toxins had already entered his body, and the medicine from the military medical department was ineffective.

Hang in there!

On the way, Wei Hongying looked anxious.

After walking for a while, Wei Hongying felt that the two of them were helping Xia Liu walk too slowly. By the time they arrived at Qin Li's residence, the daylily was already cold.

She simply carried Xia Liu on her back and used her light-footed skills to leap back and forth on the rooftop.

Xia Liu barely opened her eyes, her lips dark purple and twitching. "I'm sorry."

Wei Hongying could only hear the whistling wind. Even though she was carrying someone on her back, Chun Tao couldn't catch up with her and lagged far behind.

"What?"

Wei Hongying didn't quite hear what Xia Liu was saying; she just wanted to get to Qin Li's place as quickly as possible.

Xia Liu pressed her cheek against Wei Hongying's shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, I used to curse you behind your back, saying you were shameless and that you and the First Prince were a pair of adulterers."

"Hi!"

Wei Hongying said nonchalantly, "What goes around comes around. The Crown Prince and I are upright and have nothing to fear. We're not afraid of your criticism!"

"My only regret is not drawing a clear line between myself and Qin Feng sooner!"

"I hate it too!"

Xia Liu's bitter smile deepened, her voice weak and listless.

What do you hate?

Wei Hongying asked, puzzled.

Xia Liu felt excruciating pain all over her body, every inch of her flesh and bone ached, as if she were being torn apart alive by a wild beast.

She knew all too well what the poison on Fang Yuan's needles was; it was something she had personally prepared according to Fang Yuan's method, and there was no antidote.

"I regret not seeing Fang Yuan's true colors sooner!"

Wei Hongying encouraged Xia Liu to cheer up, saying they were almost there, and that it wasn't too late to see his true colors now.

Xia Liu gently shook her head. She felt her life force draining away little by little, and her eyelids growing heavier and heavier until she could barely keep them open.

"Lieutenant, if I'm gone, please take care of my sister for me. You're a good person!"

After saying that, Xia Liu's vision went completely dark.

Wei Hongying gritted her teeth and said angrily, quickening her pace again, and soon arrived at Qin Li's residence in the city.

Wei Hongying came over unimpeded, and no one dared to stop her, but Chun Tao, who was following behind her, was blocked.

"Let me in!"

Chuntao was so anxious that she wanted to force her way in.

Even if it means death, she wants to die with her sister.

"Let her in!"

Wei Hongying gave the order, and the guards dared not disobey, so they let Chun Tao pass.

Soon, they found Qin Li in the study, holding a candlestick and looking at a giant map hanging on the wall.

"Your Highness, help!"

As soon as Wei Hongying carried Xia Liu in, she said.

Chun Tao was even more decisive, kneeling directly at the door and kowtowing to Qin Li repeatedly, her head bobbing like a pestle being pounded.

Not long after they came in, Zhou Biao also entered, quickly approached Qin Li, and whispered in Qin Li's ear what had happened.

Qin Li nodded and waved for Zhou Biao to get the medicine.

For this expedition, Old Snake did prepare a lot of medicine for him in case of emergency, but he just didn't know if it would work.

When Zhou Biao went to get the medicine, Wei Hongying had already carried Xia Liu to lie down on the soft couch next to her.

When they went to see her, Xia Liu's entire face had turned blackish-purple, and she didn't have much time left.

If we don't get immediate treatment, he might not make it through the night.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Her head was bleeding from the impact, and Chun Tao quickly came to the soft couch and held Xia Liu's hand tightly.

If Xia Liu were gone, she would absolutely not live alone.

Qin Li poured Wei Hongying a glass of water to quench her thirst.

He used his lightness skill to get here, carrying someone on his back.

Wei Hongying was exhausted; her fair forehead was covered in sweat.

He took the water Qin Li offered and drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Hongying wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and couldn't help but open her mouth and curse:

"That Fang Yuan, he's a real bastard!"

"To execute him in front of the army tomorrow would be too lenient! He should be torn to pieces!"

"Very well, just as the Commandant of the Guards wishes. Men, pass on the order: tomorrow the entire army will execute Fang Yuan by a thousand cuts!" Qin Li said towards the door.

A guard at the door stepped forward, bowed, and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Yes, sir!"

After saying that, he held his sword at his waist and jogged off to relay the order.

Wei Hongying was stunned. He agreed just like that? She had only said it casually. Wasn't Qin Li being too nice to her? If word got out, people would gossip.

However, this was followed by a feeling of liking, and Wei Hongying bit her lip.

Qin Li poured himself a bowl of water and casually asked, "Hey you, do you have any requests? I'll grant them all."

Wei Hongying quickly looked at Chun Tao, who was kneeling in front of the bed, signaling her to speak quickly, as such opportunities are rare.

Chuntao's eyes were now only on Xialiu; she gently shook her head, having no time to pay attention to her at all.

Wei Hongying was worried for her and said, "Your Highness, considering that Chun Tao and Xia Liu were deceived and did not do anything immoral with Fang Yuan, could you spare their lives?"

Looking at the two sisters, Wei Hongying said, "They are pitiful people too. They lost their parents at a young age and depended on each other for survival. They were even deceived by Fang Yuan..."

Qin Li raised his hand, indicating that Wei Hongying didn't need to say anything more.

He knew more about the two sisters than Wei Hongying did.

He didn't intend to kill the two of them, otherwise he wouldn't have planted the obedience curse on them.

That being said, who wouldn't want twin sisters to serve them?

Soon, Zhou Biao came in carrying a box of bottles and jars.

"Your Highness, I didn't know which bottle it was, so I just brought them all over," Zhou Biao said blankly.

Qin Li was speechless... They really went all out, even their own people wouldn't go this far.

He walked over, picked up the bottles and jars inside and looked at them, but Qin Li couldn't figure out what they were about; he wasn't a professional.

"Lieutenant, which bottle do you think will work?"

Qin Li asked Wei Hongying.

Wei Hongying didn't speak, but answered with her actions.

She opened all the bottles and jars and fed Xia Liu a little of each.

If they couldn't get it in, they would force it in, and Qin Li suffered just watching it.

That's really something!

"Will this work?"

Zhou Biao, who was holding the box to the side, was skeptical.

Wei Hongying glared at him, annoyed. "Why don't you do it?"

Zhou Biao quickly shook his head, like a rattle-drum.

Let him feed her like this. If something happens, he won't be held responsible. Who cares?

After the antidote was forcibly administered, Xia Liu's dark purple complexion improved at a visible speed.

Chun Tao was overjoyed, laughing and crying at the same time, and kowtowing to Wei Hongying repeatedly.

Wei Hongying wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Actually, she didn't know if it would work or not; it was just a lucky guess.

Seeing that Xia Liu's complexion was improving, Qin Li said, "Captain Wei, you fought a tough battle outside the city today and have been busy until this late. Go back and rest. We'll take care of things here!"

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, but now that we've brought it up, Wei Hongying really feels exhausted.

After observing Xia Liu for a while and seeing that there were no problems, Wei Hongying gently rubbed her arm. "Alright, I'll go back and rest. I'll leave this to you. I'll come back first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Zhou Biao, go see the Imperial Guard out!"

Wei Hongying waved her hand, "No need, I can go back by myself!"

After watching Wei Hongying leave, Qin Li and Zhou Biao couldn't help but exchange a glance, both revealing malicious smiles.

There were some things that couldn't be said directly with Wei Hongying here.

Now that Wei Hongying is gone, we can talk about it and do it.

boom!

Zhou Biao walked over and closed the door, blocking it with his body.

Qin Li reached up and rubbed his neck, raising an eyebrow.

The two's unusual behavior immediately alerted Chun Tao.

Chun Tao stretched out her arms and tightly embraced Xia Liu, who was slowly recovering on the soft couch, and looked at the two of them: "What are you trying to do?"

"Don't come any closer!"

"If you come any closer, I'm going to yell!"

Qin Li rubbed his neck and loosened his wrists. "Shout all you want. This place is full of my men, inside and out. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you. Hehehe..."
