he person who had poisoned them, then gave Dong'er an acupuncture treatment to induce vomiting. His eye sockets were slightly less bruised than the others, indicating he hadn't ingested much of the po...But after years of training, Shi Fourteen was still able to calmly meet Han Yun's onslaught of gaze.

He faintly said to Han Yun, "Han Pavilion Master, is there something the matter"

Han Yun retracted her gaze and gave a faint "um" in response, then turned to Zhao Si who was kneeling on the ground, "There are some things I'd like to say to Your Highness."

Zhao Si was in great pain, her thoughts scattered. But at this moment, she still heard Han Yun's voice.

In that instant, a glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes. In her view, her elder brother's punishment stemmed solely from the fact that she had slapped Han Yun without thinking the consequences through that day.

So her older brother blamed her, and now that Han Yun appeared, she thought that as long as she sincerely apologized to Han Yun and he forgave her, her brother would give her the antidote.

Thinking this way, she endured the pain in her body and slowly raised her head, using all her might to crawl to Han Yun's feet: "Han Yun, that day... that day was my fault. I shouldn't have hit you. No... it was me... I shouldn't have hit you. We've known each other for many years, you must not bear to see me in so much pain, right Help me, please help me beg the Emperor brother for mercy, give me the antidote, okay Please, Han Yun, I beg you."

Hanyun's deep eyes gazed down at the woman kneeling before him. He had never imagined that the arrogant and haughty Sixth Princess would ever show such a vulnerable side.

But... he didn't have a single ripple of emotion. He had known Zhao Si for so many years, witnessed firsthand her methods of torment, and knew exactly how many innocent people had died at her hands over the years.

So to see her in such a disheveled and destitute state in his lifetime, he found it amusing, but he didn't have the slightest thought of reaching out to help.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Si didn't have time to think about anything else. She immediately reached out to try and grab his ankle, but Han Yun, as if he had expected this, easily moved aside.

Zhao Si didn't want to ask Han Yun for help. In her heart, she thought Han Yun was such a lowly person that he wasn't even worthy of tying her shoes. But right now, she had to humble herself and beg him. She was in so much pain, she felt like committing suicide.

At this point, she couldn't care about anything else. So she said to Han Yun again, "Han Big Brother, Han Big Brother, please save me, I...I can't bear the pain anymore, I can't stand it, Han Big Brother."

Han Yun looked thoughtfully at 'Zhao Li'. What exactly did he give Zhao Si to make her so tormented

When Fourteen saw Han Yun looking over, he calmly touched his nose and then picked up a teacup from the side, taking a sip.

Han Yun's gaze was deep, and one couldn't tell what she was thinking. At this moment, she lowered her head to glance at Zhao Si, "I'm sorry, I can't control what the Third Prince does. Princess Six, you've mistaken me."

"!"

Zhao Sijian, desperate for help and unable to get it, gritted her teeth in frustration. But this was no longer the woman who flew into a rage at the slightest provocation. She understood that Zhao Li now needed Qingyun Pavilion's support to safely return to Xuan Guo.

If she dared to speak rudely or insult Han Yun at this moment, Zhao Li would definitely not let her off.

Because of that, Zhao Si didn't dare to express any anger she might have in her heart at this moment.

Shi Fourteen knew that Han Yunlai might be looking for him, so at this moment he looked at Zhou Zhiyao, "Send the princess back to her room. Without my command, do not allow her to leave the room."

Although Zhou Zhiyao had some doubts in his heart, he still bowed and replied with a "yes" at this moment.

Zhao Si didn't dare to resist. When Zhou Zhiyao pulled her up, she could only grit her teeth and follow Zhou Zhiyao away.

When only Han Yun and Fourteen were left in the room, Han Yun looked at Fourteen, "Did he die Or did you lock him up"

..."...

Fourteen remained speechless. He was putting on a convincing act, so much so that even Zhou Zhiyao, who had spent years with Zhao Li, failed to recognize him. How could Han Yun have recognized him as someone other than Zhao Li so quickly

But since he was recognized, Shi Fourteen didn't fear much. He slightly nodded his head, "Dead."

Confirming Zhao Li's death, Han Yun didn't seem at all surprised, and his face didn't show anything. Fourteen couldn't tell what he thought of Zhao Li's death either.

"Master Han, what's the matter Come sit down and talk about it."

As they spoke, Fourteenth gestured to a chair beside him. Han Yun, as the master of the Qingyun Pavilion, had access to a vast network of intelligence through his position. He knew exactly who stood before him, so he didn't hesitate. He nodded to Fourteenth and sat down in the indicated chair.

Han Yun's purpose in coming here today was simply to confirm Zhao Li's fate. Now that he knew, there was nothing more to say. However, the information he had was more than what Fourteenth possessed. To make himself appear more convincing in front of Zhou Zhiyao, he stayed and told Fourteenth about Zhao Li's character and personality.

After finishing his words, Shi Fourteen immediately expressed his gratitude. He had to admit that the intelligence gathered by Qingyun Pavilion was indeed formidable.

After hearing the news from Han Yun, he could feign better.

Before leaving, Han Yun suddenly remembered Zhao Si. He frowned and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What did you do to Zhao Si That kind of pain could threaten her life"

Shi Fourteen narrowed her eyes slightly, "This pain won't take her life, it will only make her suffer a little. After all, she tried to touch our prince. Don't even mention that our prince wouldn't let her go, our princess wouldn't let her off easy either. Now that we've spared her life, it's already merciful enough."

Knowing that Zhao Si's life wouldn't be in danger, Han Yun didn't say anything. Before Zhou Zhiyao returned, he bid farewell to the Fourteenth and left on his own.

Zhou Zhiyao asked as soon as he returned, what was Han Yun doing here

Fourteen let out a cold laugh, "He now wants to sever ties with our Zhao family, but before we safely return to Xuan Guo, this palace won't allow him to just abandon us so easily."

Zhou Zhiyao's eyes flashed with a trace of worry. Almost all the masters they brought were defeated. If Han Yun and Qingyunge really refused to intervene at this time, their situation would be very dangerous.

"Your Highness, you punished the Sixth Princess so severely for Master Han, yet he is still not appeased"

"...."

Fourteen grueling doses, he administered that excruciatingly painful poison to Zhao Si, all because he wanted to avenge their princess. And their king had ordered him not to let Zhao Si get away with it too easily, so he made Zhao Si take the poison. All of this wasn't done to avenge Han Yun.

Moreover, he had no idea what had happened between Zhao Si and Han Yun.

"However, he could only go along with Zhou Zhiyao's words for now. 'Han Yun is the young master of Qingyun Pavilion after all, it's normal for him to have some temper. His anger hasn't subsided, so let's continue showing him our sincerity.'"

"..."

Zhou Zhiyao's mouth twitched, their Highness meant...to continue letting the sixth princess suffer like thist he just couldn't stand to see Zhi'er's eagerness to meet that man.Even though she was hurt repeatedly by that man, she kept going back to him like a moth to a flame. It really bothered him."So now,...
