"If you had drunk this just now, not only would you not have been able to save your child, but you would have also become a monster like this for the rest of your life." Jiang Xue explained, "Bone Dissolving Powder will not kill you directly, but will instead delay aging and extend your life. But the price is that you will lose your human appearance, and will forever exist in a non-human form, suffering endless pain."

"Sometimes, living is more cruel than death." Xiao Zhan sighed: "The one Chu Jingming brought back to the mansion is simply a demon."

Looking at the trembling red mass of flesh in front of her, Yunyan's eyes changed from astonishment to fear, and finally to calm.

She had known that Fang Susu had murderous intentions towards her, but she had never expected that she would be so cruel.

Out of consideration for Chu Jingming's situation, she had been silently enduring Fang Susu's various difficulties, but she did not expect that her concessions would only result in further persecution.

Even after leaving the palace, Fang Susu still refused to let her go.

"Yunyan, what are you going to do?" Cui Shuji helped Yunyan up with concern.

"Do you want to help her get rid of it?" Seeing Yunyan bow deeply to Xiao Zhan and point to the sword at his waist, Jiang Xue immediately understood what she meant.

After a moment's hesitation, Yunyan nodded in agreement. Looking at the assassin who was no longer in human form, she sighed.

Rather than living in such pain, it is better to give it a quick ending.

After getting Jiang Xue's tacit consent, Xiao Zhan took off his sword and handed it to Yunyan.

Yunyan quickly drew her sword; her years of experience as a killer allowed her to strike directly at the vital points.

As the sword fell, the trembling mass of flesh finally stopped struggling and collapsed as if relieved.

"Ugh!" The smell of blood made Yunyan feel uncomfortable, she covered her mouth and started to retch.

Cui Shuji patted her back to help her breathe, and looked at Jiang Xue anxiously: "Is there any way to make Yunyan feel better?"

"It's too bloody here. Someone, take Yunyan to another room." Jiang Xue ordered several servants to clean up the scene, and then took Yunyan away from this disgusting place.

She herself couldn't stand the smell here.

"Although the east wing is not as luxurious as the south wing, it is still spacious. Please make do with it for the time being." After arriving at the new room, Jiang Xue immediately took Yunyan's pulse.

Fortunately, the pulse was stable and it was just a slight miscarriage, nothing serious.

"Yunyan, how does your throat feel now?" Although pregnancy restricted her medication, it was not a long-term solution to leave the toxins in her body. There had to be a plan, at least to get her to speak.

Yunyan tried to speak but failed, and could only shake her head to express her helplessness.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue said gently: "Don't worry, I have a way that may help you get rid of some of the poison so that you can speak, but this method has some risks. Are you willing to try it?"

Yunyan nodded firmly. The pain of not being able to speak these days was enough, and she longed to resume normal communication.

"What kind of risks are there?" Cui Shuji asked with concern, his heart full of worry.

Jiang Xue was silent for a moment and then said, "It may have an impact on the fetus."

Hearing this, Yunyan instinctively protected her stomach, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Will the child... be in danger?" Cui Shuji looked at her shocked expression, feeling distressed, and turned to Jiang Xue to ask.

"This is a bit risky." Jiang Xue confessed, "The baby is only two months old, and is at her most vulnerable. Using this method will cause a great deal of stress to Yunyan's body, and it's hard to say whether she can save the baby. I will try to be gentle, but I can't guarantee anything else."

As a doctor, she always tells her patients the truth and never hides anything.

Yunyan values ​​the baby in her belly more than her own life, so naturally she is unwilling to take any risks.

Therefore, when the matter concerns the safety of her child, she needs to know the whole situation.

"Yunyan, whether you want to try it or not is entirely up to you." Jiang Xue said.

Yunyan hugged her belly tightly, lowered her head and remained silent, struggling internally.

What should she do? Her choice was so difficult...

This child is the fruit of her and Chu Jingming, and the only thing she regards as important as life. She doesn't want the child to be harmed in the slightest, but if the poison continues to spread in the body, it will eventually affect the child...

"Don't worry, Yunyan, think about it carefully. Within three days, if you have made up your mind, feel free to send someone to find me." Jiang Xue knew the depth of maternal love and gave Yunyan time to think.

After saying that, she took Xiao Zhan's hand and left the room.

"Where are we going next?" Xiao Zhan asked, noticing that she didn't seem to intend to go back to her room to rest.

"The people from the Fang family besieged the princess's mansion. In addition to wanting to kill Yunyan, they also wanted to rescue Fang Rong. When Tieyi left just now, I noticed a black shadow flash by quickly. You saw it too, right?" Jiang Xue looked up at Xiao Zhan. She knew that he, who was a martial arts master, must have noticed it.

"Nothing can escape your sharp eyes." Xiao Zhan smiled and scratched her nose, praising her sharpness.

"Let's go to the dungeon and check it out. I think we can hear some interesting news."

They let people in specifically for this moment to come.

In the dungeon, Fang Rong was awakened by a loud noise and saw a dark shadow standing in front of the cell door.

"It's really shameful that the left guard is being held here by a woman." The man in black took off his mask, revealing a face that looked very similar to Fang Rong. His eyes were full of ridicule for his brother: "Brother, I told you long ago that I would get rid of that woman as soon as possible, but you didn't listen. What happened?"

After removing the chains, the man in black walked into the cell.

"A Jing, you talk too much." Fang Rong glared at him and secretly reminded his younger brother: Walls have ears!

"It's a mess outside, and Princess Changle is busy taking care of herself, so how can she have the time to care about what's happening here?" Fang Jing sneered, let go of the other's wrist, and pulled him up.

"What instructions does the young lady have?" Fang Rong relaxed a little upon seeing this, and asked while rubbing his stiff wrist that had been clamped just now.

"The eldest lady was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She ordered us to get rid of that woman tonight. When the prince came back from the imperial prison and found that she was missing, he was furious and personally requested to come to Qian Kingdom to look for her. If we don't act quickly enough and let that woman and the prince meet, I'm afraid my brother and I won't survive tonight."

Fang Jing looked annoyed as he explained, and was obviously very dissatisfied with the current situation.

In his opinion, all these troubles were caused by his brother's indecision.

He had warned earlier that Yunyan, this woman, would be a source of trouble if kept around and should be gotten rid of as soon as possible.

But my brother was concerned about the innocence of the unborn child and insisted on waiting until the baby was born before taking action.

If the eldest lady hadn't issued an ultimatum, it would probably take several months before any action was taken.

"Ajing, I'm sorry."

Faced with his brother's accusations, Fang Rong apologized with guilt.

Indeed, if I had been able to be ruthless at that time, I would not be in such a passive situation today.
