"Mu Xiao, go to the city defense camp!"

"Yes, Master!"

Due to Yan Qi's previous instructions, Zhao Huaqin was not tortured but was just locked in an ordinary room.

Seeing Yan Qi coming in, Zhao Huaqin, who was sitting in the corner, reacted very calmly and just raised her eyelids slightly.

Mu Xiao brought a chair and put it down. Yan Qi sat on it without saying a word.

He just glanced at Zhao Huaqin and waved to Mu Xiao. Mu Xiao bowed and left. After a while, he brought a few more people in.

Two guards from the city defense battalion came in carrying an unconscious person.

The man was wearing prison clothes, and the originally white clothes were already stained with blood.

A group of people came in without saying a word. They just erected a wooden frame in another corner and tied people up on it.

While Zhao Huaqin was wondering, one of the guards from the city defense battalion took out a thin blade and slashed at the prisoner with extremely fast movements.

Blood splattered and splashed on the guard's face

"what……"

A scream cut through the sky.

The scene before her made Zhao Huaqin's scalp tingle.

After repeating this action twice, Zhao Huaqin could no longer bear it. She screamed at Yan Qi and asked him what he wanted to do.

Yan Qi did not answer, but just looked at her coldly and prepared to leave.

Seeing Yan Qi was about to leave, Zhao Huaqin got anxious and stood up from the corner and shouted at Yan Qi's back,

"I know why you are here. You are here for Zhao Huayin, right?"

Yan Qi paused.

Seeing that this was effective, Zhao Huaqin continued,

"She was bewitched by a sorcery. Even if she caught me, she wouldn't live long. Why did Your Majesty go to such great lengths?"

Zhao Huaqin's face was full of satisfaction and she even laughed out loud.

"I know that the prince arrested me because he found out that I had some dealings with Prince Xuan's Palace.

That’s right, it was me who asked someone to put a spell on Zhao Huayin. Now I have finally got what I wanted. She is finally dying!

Hahaha……"

As soon as Zhao Huaqin said this, Yan Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

But Yan Qi held back and did not look back.

"What grudge does she have against you that would make you go to such great lengths to kill her?"

Remembering Zhao Huayin's instructions, Yan Qi clenched his fists and forced himself not to attack.

When Zhao Huaqin heard Yan Qi's question, deep hatred burst out in her eyes.

"Zhao Huayin! It was her! She was the one who killed my mother. The hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable. Doesn't she deserve to die?!"

"As far as I know, your father took bereavement leave the year your brother was born. She was only a few years old at that time. How could she harm your mother?"

"It was her. She pushed my mother into the lake, causing her to have a difficult labor. She died of hemorrhage after giving birth to Huazhang!"

Yan Qi frowned, turned around and looked at Zhao Huaqin and asked,

"You were much younger then, how did you know about this?"

"Zhao Huayin has the love and protection of her parents, so naturally no one would tell me about this. But justice is clear, and one day my grandmother and the nanny beside her quietly talked about this matter and I overheard it by accident.

My grandmother was very kind and never mentioned this matter to me. If I hadn't overheard it, I would never have known that Zhao Huayin was the enemy who killed my mother!"

Yan Qi’s frown deepened.

Zhao Huaqin didn't care at all and continued,

"My grandmother was also pitiful. She never had any biological children of her own. Even though she was my uncle and my father's stepmother, there was always a layer of separation between them.

What could she do after she knew about this? She could only look after me in private. In order to avenge my mother, my grandmother secretly discussed with the nanny and decided to give my aunt a sterilizing medicine.

My grandmother cared about me so much that I naturally had to contribute. So I took the initiative to find the nanny who was with her and asked her to deliver the soup to my aunt.

I watched my great aunt drink that bowl of soup. Afterwards, she often went to Jing’an Temple to pray to the gods and Buddha, hoping to have another child for Zhao Huayin to keep her company. Unfortunately, she could never fulfill her wish, hahahaha…”

"Do you know what the consequences of what you said today will be?"

"Anyway, if I enter the city defense camp and fall into your hands, there is no way I can get out alive, so why not tell you?"

"What's so good about Zhao Huayin? This murderer who killed my mother was able to grow up under the love and care of my uncle and aunt.

Everyone praised her for her elegance and kindness. Even Yao Niang, the best embroidery worker in the world, only accepted her as her disciple. Is there anything I cannot compare to her?"

At this point, Zhao Huaqin seemed to have touched upon the anger in her heart, and she stood up and interrogated Yan Qi.

"If it was just someone else, it would be fine, but my own brother Hua Zhang would always praise Zhao Huayin in front of me, as if Zhao Huayin was his biological sister.

I told him that Zhao Huayin killed my mother, and he actually got very angry with me. In a fit of rage, he went to study in another place.

He left a message saying that Zhao Huayin and I were both his biological sisters, and he hoped that when he returned from school, he would see us sisters living in harmony.

"Is Zhao Huayin really that good? She is a murderer, why would she do that?

I just want Zhao Huayin to die!"

Yan Qi looked at Zhao Huaqin, who was almost going crazy, and smiled coldly.

"Of course she's better than you!

She has long known that you were the one who harmed her behind the scenes, but she always remembered that you were Zhao Huazhang's biological sister, so she never did anything to you, leaving you a chance to reform.

But what about you? You are cold, selfish and stupid!

If Huayin is really the murderer, will your father just let it go?

Did the person who said this to you really not know that you were outside the door? You are being used as a gun by others and you don't even know it! How stupid! "

Yan Qi was never a talkative person, and he was extremely angry at this moment. Thinking of the suffering Zhao Huayin had suffered during this period, he grabbed Zhao Huaqin's neck.

"If Huayin is safe and sound, she will decide how to deal with you. If anything happens to her, I will let you see the methods of the city defense camp. Then you will hate yourself for not being able to die!"

After saying that, Yan Qi threw the man to the ground and left without looking back.

The guard quickly locked the door. Zhao Huaqin lay on the ground gasping for breath. She finally struggled to sit up and covered her neck with her hands.

The force in Yan Qi's hand just now really seemed like he wanted to strangle her to death. This was the first time Zhao Huaqin felt that she was so close to death.

Watching Yan Qi slowly walking away, Zhao Huaqin's mind flashed with Yan Qi's words: Does the person who said this to you really not know that you are outside the door?

Yan Qi left the city defense camp in anger, mounted his horse and headed towards Tianxiang Tower again.

Zhao Huayin woke up from another nap and felt much better, so she picked up her needlework again.

Due to the habit over the years, Zhao Huayin would feel uncomfortable if she didn't do needlework for a few days.

What's more, Zhao Huayin now really wants to embroider a sachet by herself and let Yan Qi wear it.

After a little thought, Zhao Huayin started to work on it and gave it to Yan Qi. Zhao Huayin only wanted to embroider the crabapple.

Zhao Huayin concentrated her mind and focused on the crabapple flowers in her hand. She worked on the needlework for a while, and suddenly she felt dizzy. Before she could put down the sachet in her hand, her eyes went dark and she passed out.

Yan Qi had just walked to the gate when he heard a cry of surprise:

"The girl fainted! Go get Doctor Lu!"
