Chapter 112: Contempt for the Law
Ye Chuxue walked forward slowly with an expressionless face, reached out and gently pinched the silver needle, then pulled it out from Yun Mushu's neck with a sudden pull.
Ye Chuxue looked down at Yun Mushu and said coldly: "Your Highness, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Before you try to track down my family, you'd better see if you have the ability to save your life! Otherwise, the consequences may not be something you can bear." There was a strong threat in her eyes!
The eldest princess was instantly enraged upon witnessing the scene. Her face flushed crimson, her beautiful eyes widened, her teeth clenched, and she shouted angrily, "This is simply lawless! Rebellion, rebellion! Prince Yunxin, Prince Yunxin, you, as a member of the royal family, actually dare to associate with outsiders and collude with them. What sinister intentions do you harbor?"
Yun Muheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a scornful smile. He responded with a contemptuous tone, "This king is only upholding justice. The genius doctor came here with compassion to diagnose and treat this cousin. But what about you? Not only did you try to force her into marriage, but after your attempt failed, you even threatened and intimidated her.
I would like to ask you, Princess, is this the law of our Yunxi Kingdom? Or do you simply disregard the law and despise it?"
Upon hearing this, the princess also responded with a sarcastic smile, saying sarcastically, "Oh, my dear nephew, when it comes to contempt for the law, I'm afraid no one can match you, right?"
Yun Muheng's face darkened, and he retorted in a cold voice, "Your Highness, please provide solid evidence before you speak! Otherwise, you're slandering me!"
"Hmph!" The princess snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. She continued, "The second young lady of the Ye family, the Prime Minister's residence, is your sister-in-law. How dare you disregard the law and imprison her? Tell me for yourself, is this behavior appropriate?"
Yun Muheng slightly raised his sword-like eyebrows, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he chuckled. He instantly understood in his heart that it seemed that the Prime Minister must have already contacted the eldest princess and Yun Mushu.
He snorted coldly and said indignantly, "Hmph! Ye Xinrou hasn't even married Prince Yunqing yet, so how can she be called my sister-in-law? It's clearly her time and again, she's been maliciously deceiving me and teasing me wantonly, leading to so many misunderstandings between me and Xue'er, wasting so many years! Don't I have the right to punish her?"
Upon hearing this, the princess's eyes twitched swiftly, and a cold, chilling smile forced itself across her lips. She then shouted, "Someone, come! Doctor Shi dared to assassinate Prince Yunqing in public! Immediately arrest this Doctor Shi and have him thrown into jail to await his punishment!"
As the eldest princess finished speaking, the guards who were waiting for orders surrounded Ye Chuxue and others again!
Upon seeing this, Yun Muheng's eyebrows immediately turned upside down, his eyes widened, and he glared at the guards angrily. Without any fear, he shouted directly, "I am here, and I wonder which of you has the courage to take action!"
After saying this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a ferocious poisonous snake, fixed tightly on the eldest princess.
Facing Yun Muheng's fierce gaze, the princess was unconcerned and sneered once more: "Divine Doctor Shi dared to assassinate Prince Yun Qing. According to the law, he should be executed. Are you trying to openly defy the law?"
Yun Muheng's eyes darkened. He had never imagined that the princess would retaliate in kind, citing the same legal threat against him. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere hung between the two of them, a tense situation poised to erupt.
Ye Chuxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile. She whispered, "Okay! In that case, you can just take me away. Anyway, if I can have King Yun Qing accompany me on this road to the underworld, even if I die, I think it's worth it." After that, she looked at Yun Muheng with a firm gaze, without any fear.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yunqing's heart trembled violently, and an inexplicable panic surged through him. He hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "Stop! Everyone, stand back! Don't attack her!" Before he finished speaking, the guards who were about to make a move all stopped in their tracks.
Afterwards, King Yunqing turned around and stared at Ye Chuxue, who had an indifferent expression on his face. His eyes widened as he shouted angrily, "What on earth do you mean by this? Did you poison me?" At this moment, he had long lost his usual calmness and majesty, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled again: "Haha, guess what? But I might as well tell you, if I can't survive today, then you, the honorable prince, will probably not be safe and sound. As for whether you believe it or not, you can try it!" After saying that, she folded her hands across her chest, standing there leisurely, as if everything was under control.
Seeing this, the eldest princess beside her could not help but snort coldly, her face full of contempt and sneer: "Humph! You are really dreaming! Just because you are a small commoner, you dare to say that you can poison the dignified prince? Do you really think we are all so easily deceived?"
However, facing the eldest princess's doubts and ridicule, Ye Chuxue remained unmoved and just smiled, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.
"Really? Why not give it a try?" As she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a playful smile playing out, like a cunning fox. Then, she softly said, "Prince Yunqing, right now, do you feel an unbearable burning sensation in your neck, as if it were on fire? And perhaps even a dry mouth?"
When King Yunqing heard this, he was stunned at first, then he calmed down and carefully felt the subtle changes in his body.
As expected, just as Ye Chuxue had predicted, he felt a scorching heat surge from his neck, and even his mouth and tongue became unusually dry. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel panic well up in his heart. Shocked, he muttered in disbelief, "Could it be... he really poisoned me? How dare he do that!"
Prince Yunqing forced himself to calm down, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting two sharp, sword-like glares. He shouted sternly, "What do you want? You must understand that if anything happens to me here today, no one can save you!"
Facing Prince Yunqing's threats and intimidation, Ye Chuxue remained calm and composed. She simply glanced at the Princess standing beside her, then slowly responded, "In my humble opinion, I should be the one to ask Your Highness what your intentions are! I originally came to treat the young princess, but I never expected that you would not only make things difficult for me, but also threaten my life. May I ask Your Highness and Your Highness, what is your intention?"
