Hearing Su Peijiu's words, Su Chi became even angrier and reached out to grab the Poisonous Woman: "Why did you kill Bai Shuangya? And why did you kill Liu Ji?!"
The Poisonous Woman, skilled in martial arts, did not dodge at all and was choked by Su Chi until her eyes rolled back. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she choked out, "…Why?… This is all because I love you…"
"Shut up!" Su Chi's eyes turned red with rage as he looked at the Poisonous Woman in front of him. This face was so familiar yet so strange, it made him feel disgusted! How could he have been facing her for over a decade?
The Crown Prince clearly had no interest in continuing to watch this emotional drama of a couple turning against each other. He called for people to take them away, saying, "Put them in separate cells under heavy guard."
The Poisonous Woman, with tear-streaked cheeks, was dragged away. Just as they exited the main hall, a scream echoed from outside. The group hurried out to see Su Chi lying dead with his heart ripped out, a look of horror on his face. Standing before his corpse was the deranged Poisonous Woman, cradling the still-warm heart in her hands, holding it up to her face like a child and murmuring.
"Finally, you are mine… finally mine…"
Qi Rong angrily waved his hand for the guards to move in: "Take her down and drag the body away."
Seeing the people surrounding her, the Poisonous Woman immediately became alert, protecting the heart in her arms: "What do you want? Don't come over here and try to take him from me!"
She had actually gone mad… This unparalleled Poisonous Woman had lost her sanity for love.
She had done countless bad deeds but ultimately lost to a man, succumbing to this inevitable fate.
Having lost interest in watching any further, Su Peijiu turned and walked down the corridor, not wanting to know what would happen next.
Qi Mo, who had been closely watching Su Peijiu, quietly followed her when she left. The corridor was long and silent; their footsteps sounded particularly jarring, especially since Qi Mo had no intention of hiding that he was following her.
After walking for a while, Su Peijiu stopped. Her voice was low and hoarse from using a voice-changing pill: "Why is the Desolate King following this Master of the Building?"
Qi Mo approached her back with an unclear expression on his face. He smirked slightly as if mocking her: "It's only been a few days since we last met, and Pei Jiu pretends not to recognize This King? We’ve shared a bed; how can you be so distant?"
Su Peijiu's hand clenched tightly in her sleeve. Her slender back straightened abruptly as she tried to control her voice to hide any hint of emotion. "The Desolate King is laughing. This Master of the Building is not the same person as that Fated to Suffer's Legitimate Daughter of the Su Family."
Fated to Suffer? It was the first time he had heard someone curse themselves like that.
“Master of the Building has a rather profound meaning in those words.”
Su Peijiu said with a hint of sarcasm, “If Desolate King has the leisure to concern himself with the matters of Master of the Building, he might as well go home and think about how to deal with his pitiful side consort, after all, she also shares the surname Su.”
Qi Mo narrowed his peach blossom eyes dangerously, his thin lips parted slightly: “I must thank Master of the Building for the kind reminder.”
“No need to thank me.” She continued to walk deeper into the corridor without turning back to look at Qi Mo, completely unaware of the ambiguous expression he wore behind her.
One night, the Su Family rebelled, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Residence, regardless of age or gender, was imprisoned, leaving only the Legitimate Daughter of the Su Family missing.
The emperor was gravely injured and unconscious, and power within the court was dispersed among several princes. Although some in the inner palace had grievances, they dared not speak out.
“Su Xiang conspired to rebel; such a crime deserves punishment. However, Su Chi is already dead, and this crime extends to his family. The Su Family should be exiled.” This was said by Zhang Shangshu, whose daughter had died at the hands of the Su Family. How could he not express his resentment? It was just unfortunate that Su Chi, that old bastard, had died too soon.
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had previously followed the Minister echoed in agreement, while the remnants of Su Chi's faction remained silent. It was better to watch from the sidelines than to be caught in the crossfire.
“It’s a pity that there’s still a Demoness from the Su Family left outside; she could be a disaster.” A malicious glint flashed in the Minister's eyes; he certainly wanted Su Peijiu dead! To accompany his Liu Er in death!
“His Highness should send someone to retrieve the Su Family Enchantress soon to calm public sentiment,” suggested some Old Minister.
Standing in the great hall, Qi Rong raised an eyebrow: “So according to what Minister and all you esteemed officials suggest, how should this palace go about finding this Su Family Enchantress?” He was very much looking forward to seeing that woman's expression; he wanted to witness her panic beyond her usual calm demeanor.
The Minister had a plan: “Draw a Portrait of that Su Family Enchantress and post it far and wide; we need not fear that this Demoness will not show herself!”
At this moment, Prince Qi Che spoke up, his eyes full of interest: “Why not leave this matter to me? I have heard that the Legitimate Daughter of the Su Family is quite clever; I would love to see how she escapes from the court's web.”
At that moment, he glanced at Qi Mo, but seeing him still indifferent, he felt a bit bored.
Qi Rong's eyes flashed with contemplation, then he nodded, "Then I will trouble Prince Huai."
"It seems I suddenly remembered that the Su Family still has an Eldest Daughter who is currently staying in the Desolate King's Manor. Is the Desolate King perhaps trying to act unjustly?" The topic shifted, and his focus was always on Qi Mo.
It seemed that Qi Mo only then noticed that all eyes in the court were on him, so he smiled and said, "This King has already personally sent the side consort into the prison. Do any ministers still have doubts? Is it possible that the Crown Prince is making too much of a fuss?"
"The Desolate King immediately handed over that Su Family woman to the Internal Affairs Office, which is commendable for being clear about public and private matters," said one of the Desolate King's subordinates.
"When Su Chi rebelled, the Desolate King rushed over with people to save the palace. Doesn't the Crown Prince think such words are somewhat hurtful to the Desolate King?"
"Crown Prince, please do not misunderstand the Desolate King. Yuan Cang owes its current state to the Desolate King..."
One voice after another echoed in agreement and praise. Qi Rong felt veins popping on his forehead as he exchanged glances with the man in black robes below, noticing the faint mockery in his dark pupils, making him feel a surge of anger rising to his head.
"Enough!" he shouted loudly, and the court fell silent instantly. Taking a deep breath, Qi Rong spoke, "The matter of arresting Su Peijiu will be entrusted to Prince Huai. Since the Desolate King is clear about rewards and punishments, then handling the Su Family's rebellion case will be left to the Desolate King. Dismissed." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left, moving so quickly that even the eunuch announcing the dismissal was momentarily stunned before hurriedly calling out, "Dismissed—!"
Qi Mo slowly walked towards the palace exit. Noticing footsteps behind him, he stopped and said with slight displeasure, "How much longer does Prince Huai want to follow?"
"Indeed, I cannot hide anything from Fourth Brother. After all, it's Yuan Cang's Smiling Face Yama; his martial arts are truly profound," Qi Che approached with a playful grin, fanning himself noisily.
Qi Mo looked at him indifferently and said, "Speak directly; there's no need for roundabout ways."
Qi Che feigned regret and said, "Fourth Brother just isn't fun in this regard."
Qi Mo lifted his foot as if to leave and replied, "Then you should find someone more entertaining."
Qi Che quickly closed the fan and held it in front of Qi Mo: "Wait a moment."
"Sixth Brother should know that This King has never been patient." Qi Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the grinning Qi Che.
This Sixth Brother, he could never quite understand what was on his mind. On the surface, he seemed frivolous and reckless, but at critical moments, he was more aware of the situation than anyone else. Today, he had voluntarily agreed to take on the task of finding Su Peijiu. What was his true intention?
"If I find the Legitimate Daughter of the Su Family, how does Fourth Brother plan to thank me?"
Qi Mo raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Qi Che held the fan in front of half his face, revealing only his clear eyes, which swirled slightly: "Fourth Brother doesn't seem very interested."
"The Su Family has already fallen, and they are guilty of treason. Do you think This King would be interested in the daughter of a traitor?"
Qi Che shook his head, his eyes full of interest: "Not necessarily... But since Fourth Brother isn't interested, then it just so happens that Sixth Brother is extremely interested in that Su Family Pei Jiu. Why not give this woman to Sixth Brother?"
Qi Mo glanced at him and then stepped forward, a casual remark carried by the wind: "Do as you wish."
Gently tapping the fan in his hand twice, Qi Che watched the dark figure leave, smiling brightly.
"Is he really not interested?" He didn't think so...
Su Family Pei Jiu, ever since that last dance of the Soul of the Samurai, This King has missed you greatly... I wonder what kind of joy you will bring me when we meet this time.

"How many martial artists have gathered in Chang'an?" Su Peijiu sat in a chair, the candles in the room flickering in the wind, casting shadows on her fair face that made it appear somewhat obscure.
"Flower Mother" sat across from her, frowning slightly. "There are many people coming, and even those from Cangjian Villa are here."
"Cangjian Villa is here too?" She reached out to touch her chin, a hint of deep thought flashing in her Water Eyes. She still remembered what Yue Niang had instructed her.
"Flower Mother" hesitated for a moment before speaking. "It seems that those who came this time are not just the branch members; the main house of Cangjian Villa has sent people."
"That's good; it allows me to see what Cangjian Villa is like and why they were able to stand on equal footing with our Nan Xie Tower back then."
"We should try to avoid conflict with the people from Cangjian Villa. This is what Moon Master left us as advice years ago."
Su Peijiu placed her hand on Flower Mother's hand, noticing the worry etched on her brow. "Flower Mother, there's no need to worry. I have my own plans. After hundreds of years, there should be a conclusion. Moreover..." She needed to seek justice for Yue Niang!
"Besides Cangjian Villa, are there any other sects?"
Flower Mother nodded. "Shaolin and Wudang are also here. It seems that this time Desolate King is preparing to make a big move."
Su Peijiu's Water Eyes narrowed slightly. "Since he wants to take this opportunity to expand his power, how can we not go and give him a hand?"
"What does Master of the Building mean?"
"Do you know that wind stirs up fire?"
