Pressed into the dungeon

Su Xuerou saw that Zhao Yuwei had confessed and stood up.

Beside her, Dong Lin, like a dog guarding the courtyard, knelt on the ground: "We... can we leave now?"

Since she had spoken the truth, he not only hadn't made a mistake but also had some merit.

Su Xuerou lowered her head to look at Dong Lin, not answering his question at all.

From the moment the pills were lost from the pharmacy, she knew Zhao Yuwei had taken the Fusion Pill.

She even used her Spirit Energy to follow Zhao Yuwei the entire time, personally seeing her hand the pills to Chen Xianmiao.

However, Su Xuerou didn't bring it up from beginning to end, trying to make Zhao Yuwei realize her own mistake.

At this moment, Zhao Yuwei gradually withdrew her Spirit Energy and took a deep breath: "You can kill me anytime, he is innocent."

When Bai Zhao saw Zhao Yuwei speak the truth, his face was full of helplessness: "Why did you say it? Let him kill me, then I'll be free."

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss, he lived a life worse than death.

He finally had a chance to die, but it was extinguished by Zhao Yuwei.

Su Xuerou looked at the two's affectionate appearance and let out a cold snort: "As long as you kneel and admit your mistake, I can let bygones be bygones and allow you to still have your freedom."

Many people in the Hall of Supreme Bliss could only move within a limited space. The great privilege she could give Zhao Yuwei was already the limit.

In contrast, Zhao Yuwei looked at Su Xuerou with eyes full of disgust and let out a cold snort: "You should be able to tell from my eyes that I have no feelings for you whatsoever."

After Su Xuerou heard her disgusted tone, she returned to the bed: "You don't need to rush to answer, I will give you ample time."

At this moment, Zhao Yuwei noticed she had her back turned to her, felt she had an opportunity, and with a face full of excitement, charged towards her to kill her.

Beside them, the guards saw that Zhao Yuwei actually wanted to attack Su Xuerou, and their eyes widened suddenly: "Be careful."

"Bang..."

Just as she reached Su Xuerou's side, she realized she had been prepared long ago.

Turning around was simply to give her a chance, but unfortunately, Zhao Yuwei didn't seize this opportunity well.

At this moment, the person was fiercely sent flying, landing right in front of the guards.

"Puchi..."

Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, and she had serious injuries internally.

Su Xuerou stood up from the bed and came before Zhao Yuwei: "Your strength is indeed what I like most, but it's a pity you have rebellious intentions towards me."

"I wish I could kill you right now, I only regret not having that much strength."

Beside them, Bai Zhao shakily stood up and came to Zhao Yuwei's side.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much Spirit Energy left in his body and couldn't help even a little, only able to watch as the guards surrounded them.

Su Xuerou walked up to Zhao Yuwei, looking down at her from above: "I'm giving you one last chance, are you not going to take it?"

Zhao Yuwei turned her head to look elsewhere, clearly wanting her to kill her as quickly as possible.

The matter of stealing the pills had been confirmed by her confession. She believed her position in the Hall of Supreme Bliss would only get worse from now on.

Beside them, Dong Lin came to Su Xuerou's side, his face full of a playful smile: "I have the ability to make them die in pain, can I take care of it?"

Su Xuerou heard Dong Lin wanting to attack Zhao Yuwei and fiercely waved her sleeve in his direction.

In an instant, Dong Lin was sent flying and violently crashed into the wooden door behind him.

By the time he slid down from the wooden door, his internal injuries had reached their most severe state.

"My people are not someone you can just kill because you say so."

Seeing that he had inadvertently offended Su Xuerou, Dong Lin endured the pain in his body and knelt on the ground: "I know I was wrong, I accept the punishment."

Since Dong Lin had recognized his mistake, Su Xuerou naturally couldn't punish him.

Otherwise, if others in the Hall of Supreme Bliss didn't speak up when they found problems, the Hall of Supreme Bliss would be very dangerous in the future.

"Then what about these two people?"

The guards saw that Su Xuerou remained silent for a long time and took a few steps forward.

"Take these two people to the dungeon, give them a lesson, don't let them have an easy time."

The guards exchanged glances, turned around, and dragged the two people out of the Great Hall.

In contrast, Dong Lin saw that Su Xuerou hadn't punished him and quietly left the Great Hall without attracting anyone's attention.

He was very clear about how low his status was here. If he were to actively question Su Xuerou, he would very likely die by her hand.

Soon after, the guards brought Zhao Yuwei and Bai Zhao to the dungeon.

The environment in the dungeon could be said to be quite harsh, without even a decent bed.

Fortunately, there was a lot of straw on the ground, so they could rest for a while on the straw.

The guards saw the two people standing inside, walked up to them, and said with a serious face: "You better not try any tricks, otherwise we have the ability to give you a little punishment."

There weren't many interrogation tools in the Great Hall, but the dungeon had everything.

As long as the two people showed even a little bit of abnormality, they might bring out all those things.

By then, Zhao Yuwei might be able to endure, but Bai Zhao beside her didn't have that kind of ability.

She quickly walked up to the guards: "We absolutely won't cause trouble, you can rest assured."

Seeing the guards slowly leave, Bai Zhao's helpless voice came from behind: "Why did you confess proactively? They didn't have proof, they wouldn't have done anything to you."

Bai Zhao had long held the resolve to die and hadn't even thought of leaving the Great Hall alive.

Zhao Yuwei saw Bai Zhao's helpless appearance and sighed: "I can't let you suffer such cruel torture because of me."

At this moment, many beautiful concubines learned that Zhao Yuwei had made a mistake and excitedly came to the Great Hall.

When they learned that Zhao Yuwei was merely sent to the dungeon, their faces all looked extremely displeased.

Within the Hall of Supreme Bliss, they all knew Su Xuerou's rules.

As long as one made a mistake, it was a death sentence; they had never seen anyone leave alive.

Now, Zhao Yuwei was actually completely unharmed, so they were naturally very unhappy and even had the intention to act on their behalf.

They lingered at the entrance for a long time, but no one dared to push open the door and voice the resentment in their hearts.

They all understood that the Hall of Supreme Bliss belonged to Su Xuerou. If they openly expressed their dissatisfaction, their own lives might be lost within.

Rather than doing that, it was better to pretend they knew nothing.

Only after they had all left did Su Xuerou open her eyes, her face carrying a playful smile: "Gone? I thought there were quite a few powerful people in there."

Since the beautiful concubines had all left, she had no desire to stay in the room any longer.

Walking out of the room, she found Dong Lin standing at the entrance with his injuries.

"Where is Pharmacist Lin?"

"In the Pill Refining Room."

Su Xuerou learned that Pharmacist Lin was in the Pill Refining Room, and the Blood Lotus Flower came to mind, her face full of a playful smile.

"Use Pharmacist Lin to continue performing your Blood Lotus Flower, I want to see how long Pharmacist Lin can last."
