The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Xue Lao Si, Lord Xue? This... How is this possible!"

Ling Yan's face was filled with disbelief. Even Xue Jinhua herself was extremely shocked and found it unbelievable.

You know, when the affair between Xue Lao Si and Concubine Chun was exposed, the emperor was furious and ordered him to be executed on the spot!

This matter is known to everyone and there is absolutely no falsehood.

But now, he is still alive, how can this not be shocking?

Not only was Xue Jinhua surprised, even Ling Yan who was standing beside her was also shocked.

He frowned, staring at the person in front of him, and thought to himself, "Zhao Yuxuan, if that's the case, could it be that he has been impersonating you for some time?"

Xue Jinhua thought back to her past experiences and felt that something was fishy.

Sometimes when she saw Mr. Jin, she would involuntarily feel a sense of intimacy; however, sometimes when she saw him again, she would feel a chill for no reason.

She originally thought that these strange feelings were just her illusions, but at this moment, it seemed that everything was real.

In an instant, Xue Jinhua seemed to have suddenly realized something and instantly understood all the connections.

Her mood also became extremely excited, and she hurriedly asked Zhao Yuxuan loudly: "Zhao Yuxuan, tell me quickly, where is my fourth brother?"

Zhao Yuxuan didn't expect Qing Yi to know the truth! This secret that had been hidden so well was suddenly revealed. His heart was instantly in a mess, and his irritable emotions surged into his heart like a tide.

"Hurry up and tell me! If you hide anything from me, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!" Ling Yan's eyes were wide open with anger, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, pointing straight at Zhao Yuxuan's throat.

He knew very well in his heart that if the facts were really as Zhao Yuxuan said, then Lord Xue must be in this valley.

Because only here can the mysterious man accomplish the task of devouring Xue Jinhua's fate.

However, he had turned the entire cave upside down, searching every corner and crevice, but still could not find any trace of Prime Minister Xue.

"Where is Prime Minister Xue hiding?" Ling Yan asked with gritted teeth.

Although he was extremely anxious, Zhao Yuxuan remained indifferent. He even raised a contemptuous smile on his face: "Humph, even if you dig three feet deep here, it will be in vain. When he succeeds in exchanging his life, Huahua will naturally return to me. As for the rest, I won't tell you a word."

Before he finished his words, there was a "puff" sound, and a sharp sword pierced Zhao Yuxuan's chest.

Blood gushed out from the wound, staining his shirt on his chest red, but the smile on his face remained frozen there, as if he had no fear of death.

He slowly lowered his head, his eyes focused on his chest in disbelief.

I saw the bright red blood gushing out from the wound continuously like a broken dam.

He raised his head with difficulty, looking past the bloody scene in front of him and looking straight at the prince standing not far away.

Although he could no longer utter a complete sentence, his eyes, full of doubt and questioning, seemed to be silently asking: Why? Why did all this turn out like this?

Ling Yan stared at him expressionlessly, and every word he uttered was as cold and ruthless as a cold blade: "Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then what's the point of keeping you alive? Just die now! Do you still naively think that even if Hua Hua's fate has been changed, you still have a chance of survival? It's simply a foolish dream! Even if she is lucky enough to survive, you will never have any chance to get close to her again."

"For someone as despicable as you, living one more second is a blasphemy to the world. Death is your final and most appropriate destination."

Hearing these extremely heartless words, Zhao Yuxuan's body trembled violently.

However, the desire to survive instantly occupied his entire mind.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword stuck in his chest, then pulled it out with force! In an instant, a column of scarlet blood shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, splashing everywhere.

But he ignored all this and had only one thought in his mind - to survive.

"No………"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching cry, Zhao Yuxuan's voice echoed in the air for a long time.

He stared at the front with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself: "Huahua, how can you be so cruel to me? For you, do you know how much pain and torture I have endured that ordinary people can hardly imagine..."

"I am now in a state where I am neither human nor ghost, all because of you! How can you be so heartless? You must never do this to me!" He roared at the top of his lungs, and the sound seemed to penetrate the sky, making people shudder.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen stumbling towards the direction where Xue Jinhua was, and each step seemed extremely difficult.

However, before he had taken a few steps, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

The dull sound of the knees hitting the ground seemed particularly abrupt in this silent space.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua frowned and showed undisguised disgust on her face.

She glanced at the man kneeling on the ground with disgust, as if looking at him any longer would dirty her eyes.

This contemptuous attitude was undoubtedly like a sharp blade that pierced Zhao Yuxuan's heart, instantly igniting the long-suppressed anger in his heart.

"For you, I would rather endure the excruciating pain of being skinned and cramped; I would rather bear all kinds of humiliation from the Third Princess; I would even sell my soul to become the running dog of the Imperial Master; I even tried my best to help Prime Minister Xue... But what about you? Why are you so hard-hearted? Is my sincerity worthless in your eyes?"

By the end of his speech, his emotions were out of control, and his originally handsome face became distorted and hideous due to extreme anger and pain.

The look was so terrifying that Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel scared and subconsciously took two steps back.

Ling Yan could no longer tolerate the man's unreasonable behavior. With a fierce look on his face, he kicked Zhao Yuxuan hard.

There was a loud "bang" and Zhao Yuxuan was kicked out like a cannonball and hit the pillar heavily.

"A despicable person like you doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

Ling Yan cursed with gnashing teeth, his eyes filled with contempt and resentment.

Zhao Yuxuan, who was kicked, was like a lifeless piece of rotten meat. He slid down the pillar limply and lay on the ground motionless, with no one knowing whether he was dead or alive.

However, Zhao Yuxuan still stared in the direction of Xue Jinhua, his lips slightly parted, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end, he just widened his eyes, as if something was choking his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Just like that, Zhao Yuxuan's life fire gradually went out, and his breath completely stopped.

Witnessing Zhao Yuxuan's death so closely before my eyes was truly a shocking scene.

The scene was completely different from the first time she died. At that time, Xue Jinhua only wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Zhao family and destroy Zhao Yuxuan, and never thought of taking his life. But now, this hateful man died in front of her like this, which made her feel an indescribable and unbelievable sense of shame deep in her heart.

Thinking back to the past, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel remorseful. How could it be possible? How could she be so ignorant and foolish to fall in love with such a bad man? She was really blind!

At this moment, Ling Yan whispered, "It's okay." Before he finished speaking, Xue Jinhua suddenly felt a sharp pain, which spread from the inside of her body to the outside like a cocoon being peeled off. This time the pain was more intense than any other time she had experienced before, as if it was going to tear her apart.

Seeing this scene, Qingyi, who was standing by, burst into tears and cried out, "Crown Princess..."

Then, she turned to look at Ling Yan and pleaded, "Your Highness, Xue Lao Si must still be hiding nearby. Please save the Crown Princess!"

Watching Xue Jinhua's delicate body falling painfully on the cold ground like a withered petal, Qingyi felt that her originally strong heart was instantly torn into countless pieces, as if thousands of sharp blades were cutting it fiercely.

Every groan from Xue Jinhua due to pain was like a heavy hammer hitting Qingyi's heart, making her feel miserable.

However, despite her heart filled with endless grief and resentment, Qing Yi was powerless to do anything.

How he wished that the person suffering at this moment was himself, not Xue Jinhua.

He would even rather sacrifice his own life in exchange for Xue Jinhua's safety, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

Ling Yan was equally furious, and his eyes, which were usually gentle and deep, were now burning with rage.

Faced with this sudden change, he was extremely anxious but helpless.

He could only anxiously shout at the beggar master: "Little Master, have you found the whereabouts of Xue Lao Si?"

The beggar master had a worried look on his face, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He kept calculating with his fingers, using all his best skills, but the result was still disappointing.

No matter how we calculated, we could not get any clue about the exact location of Xue Laosi.

He wiped his sweat off his forehead and said to Ling Yan with a guilty look on his face: "Your Highness, I have tried my best, but I really have no clue. I can't figure out where Xue Lao Si is hiding..."

Ling Yan could no longer suppress his inner anger after hearing these words.

The emotions that he had been suppressing finally burst out. He widened his eyes, pointed at the beggar master and angrily shouted, "Waste! You good-for-nothings! We clearly said that Xue Lao Si was in Wuyou Valley, why did we search almost the entire valley and still find nothing?"

"Go! Think carefully, what places in this Worry-Free Valley have not been found? What places are there that even we know nothing about?"

Ling Yan put Xue Jinhua down gently with an angry look on his face, then suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the beggar's collar tightly, staring at him with eyes spitting fire, and asked with gritted teeth: "You keep saying that you are the disciple of Master Tiandao, and you grew up in Wuyou Valley since you were a child. Then, shouldn't you be the most familiar with everything in Wuyou Valley?"

Facing Ling Yan's furious questioning, the beggar master also showed shame on his face. He lowered his head and dared not look Ling Yan in the eye. He replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, please calm down. It is true that I grew up in this Worry-Free Valley, but the cave here is a forbidden area. Even my master usually forbids anyone to approach this place, so I have never set foot in it."

Hearing these words, the anger in Ling Yan's eyes seemed to burn even more vigorously. However, although his voice was full of anger, it also revealed a pain that was difficult to conceal. "According to what you said, you really have no way to deal with this matter?"

The beggar master could only sigh when he heard this, with a helpless look on his face, but he could no longer give any useful answer.

Although Ling Yan was extremely angry at this moment, he also knew that this was not the time to act on impulse. Especially when he saw Xue Jinhua suffering from great pain, he felt extremely angry about his own powerlessness.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua, who was lying on the ground rolling and groaning in pain, suddenly reached out and tightly grabbed Ling Yan who was standing beside her.

"Your Highness..." Xue Jinhua shouted these two words with a weak voice, his voice full of pain and helplessness.

Seeing this, Ling Yan quickly leaned over and carefully helped her up, his eyes full of concern and guilt: "Hua Hua, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Xue Jinhua endured the severe pain and raised her hand with difficulty, pointing to the southeast, and said to Ling Yan: "Your Highness, my body seems to be being pulled away by a mysterious force towards the southeast. The pain is simply unbearable. Please go and see what is in the southeast!"

Ling Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and thought to himself, "How can she be so sure? Is there really something strange going on?"

Although he was full of doubts, seeing Xue Jinhua's painful appearance, he decided to go and check it out as she said.

At the same time, the expression on the face of the beggar master, who had been silently observing the development of the situation, gradually became solemn.

He stared towards the southeast, as if trying to see through the thick fog to see the secrets hidden there.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, after a long while, Ling Yan slowly turned his head.

He had a gloomy face and looked at everyone without saying a word.

At this moment, the beggar master seemed to suddenly think of something and looked suddenly at the sarcophagus placed quietly in the corner.

In an instant, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered some shocking truth.

Then he shouted loudly: "Your Highness, order someone to split open the sarcophagus immediately!"
