Chapter 542: To Die Together

ly came here. At this moment, she needed this kind of peace and quiet; she needed to think carefully about the future.Since her rebirth, she had only one word in her heart: revenge. She wanted to chan..."Xiao Yu Ge, you really dare to come alone. I thought you would hide in the palace or Ruyi Fang, and never show up for the rest of your life." Hua Qing He sneered at Xiao Yu Ge, subconsciously looking at her hand, sure enough, everything was going according to her plan, she couldn't help but feel more proud.

"Miss! You shouldn't have come!" Seeing that the miss had truly arrived alone, Qing Luo was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. Alas, her body couldn't move, she could only gaze at the miss with tear-filled eyes.

"Qingluo!" Xiao Yuge wanted to step forward.

"Xiao Yuge, you better stand there and don't move!" Hua Qinghe had expected Xiao Yuge to come over, so she placed her long sword on the rope in her hand: "If you dare take another step forward, I'll cut the rope. Guess which is faster, your lightness skills or my swordsmanship!" She knew Xiao Yuge's abilities well. If she let him get too close, a sudden attack would leave her with no chance.

"Hua Qinghe, this is between you and me. Let them go!" Xiao Yuge stopped in her tracks, said solemnly, and unconsciously hid her hand behind her back because her fingers had turned black. Although she had taken the Hundred Poisons Pill, Hua Qinghe hadn't used an ordinary poison on her. Therefore, she didn't have time to remove it yet.

"Xiao Yu Ge, I only said for you to come alone, but I never said that if you came, I would let them go!" Hua Qinghe's face was almost written with the words "triumphant". Her grievances with Xiao Yu Ge had begun before she even arrived in the capital.

Since she learned that she was to be sealed as County Princess and sent to the Chi Yan Nation in place of Xiao Yuge, she has hated Xiao Yuge. Why should a girl with no parents, who even popped out from nowhere, be allowed to marry into the Chi Yan Nation while she had to take her place She resented it, but imperial orders could not be disobeyed, so she could only obediently come here; later, when Ruyi Pavilion was struck by lightning, she harbored resentment in her heart. Coupled with the incident at Nianrou Garden, she blamed everything on Xiao Yuge.

She believed that all her misfortunes stemmed from Xiao Yuge, so today she set this trap. From beginning to end, she never intended for Xiao Yuge to live and leave this place. The poison on the paper was merely another safeguard in her plan. In her view, her family had no chance of rising again, and since she herself was now ruined and disgraced, she no longer wanted to live. Therefore, even if she went to hell, she would drag Xiao Yuge down with her.

"Hua Qinghe, as long as you let them go, I'll leave myself to your and your daughter's disposal!" Xiao Yuge knew that she was currently poisoned. If she used her powers, the consequences would be dire. She didn't really care about Xiao Yu'er's life or death; at least, it wasn't worth risking her own life for. However, Qingluo was different. She had already implicated Qingluo for a lifetime. This time, she would even risk her life to protect Qingluo.

"Xiao Yu Ge, this county has always had no grievances with you. You actually incited the Prince to harm this county. It's fine that you harmed this county, but you also plotted against this county's obedient daughter. Therefore, this county's father and daughter will not end well, and you should not expect to have a good life either!" Hua Yaozu sat calmly on another stone, knowing he couldn't escape. But if he could drag his enemy down to hell with him, it would be considered worth their father-daughter's plan.

"Your Highness, whether you believe it or not, I have never instigated the prince to investigate you. It is your own disregard for imperial grace, your betrayal of the people, your collusion with bandits, and your harm to countless innocent subjects that have led to your current fate. This is your own doing!"

"Yes, the Duke's own troubles were his doing. But what about Xiao Hua My daughter She came to the capital, seemingly honored as a county princess, enjoying great fame and fortune. In reality, she was forced to take your place and marry into the Chi Yan Kingdom. Why You, a common girl, why are you compared to my little flower She merely indulged in mischief, wanting to vent her frustrations. Why are you so calculating against her Is it not permissible for her to vent her grievances since she is taking your place in this marriage"

As expected, the rumors were true. The old prince's daughter who he had recently gained in his old age was incredibly protective. Xiao Yuge today truly saw this for herself. This black (referring to Xiao Yuge's situation) was almost whitewashed by him. If she wasn't the one involved, after being subjected to this barrage of distorted truths, perhaps everyone would believe what he said was true.

"Your Highness, first, I must clarify that I know nothing about the Emperor's order for Miss Huayin to go to Chiyan Kingdom as a princess; secondly, I did not scheme against her. I merely returned what she had done to others, isn't it true that one female serving two males is considered to be ruining a woman's reputation Yet, in Your Highness' mouth, it becomes Miss Huayin's momentary indulgence"

Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort: "Prince, I, Xiao Yu Ge, have always been petty. I repay grudges with grudges and revenge with revenge. So, what happened to Hua County Master is not my fault. If she hadn't plotted against me first, how could she have gotten on my bad side"

"Xiao Yu Ge, be quiet!" Hua Qing He's anger grew with every word Xiao Yu Ge spoke. She pointed at Xiao Yu Ge, her voice trembling with fury: "Xiao Yu Ge, if I don't die well, you won't live either! You ruined me, you destroyed the entire Hua family, I will not let you get away with this!"

"Very well, I am here now. What do you want Release them, and we shall have a fair duel. If I lose, I will commit suicide before your eyes!"

"Miss!"

Qing Luo immediately became anxious upon hearing this, while Xiao Yu Ge merely glanced at her without saying much. Instead, he urged Hua Qing He: "Hua Qing He, what do you say Will you duel with me or release them I leave their fate to you and your daughter."

Hearing her say this, Hua Qinghe instead became suspicious: "Xiao Yuge, I know you're highly skilled in martial arts. You let them go You're dreaming! Now that you have no soft spot, even if my daughter and I combined our strength, we might not be your match. So here, what I say is final! You must listen to me!"

She had already heard from Fang Minru that Xiao Yuge's martial arts were very strong. Thinking about the incident where she was struck by lightning for no reason at Ruyi Fang, she also believed that Xiao Yuge's martial arts were very high. Therefore, she would not easily make a move against Xiao Yuge. Although Xiao Yuge looked like he was poisoned, it was still better to be safe than sorry.

"Then what do you want" Xiao Yu Ge gritted her teeth secretly. She also knew that Hua Qing He wouldn't be so simple, anyway, she had come. For Qing Luo, even if she died again, it would be nothing. It was just repaying Qing Luo for the love of her previous life.

“Xiao Yu Ge, I heard you ripped out your heart’s blood and yet you’re still alive. I’m curious, how could a person survive after ripping out their heart’s blood Therefore, I want to see with my own eyes how you did it. And of course, use that bone knife of yours, the sharpest in the world!” Hua Qing He believed Xiao Yu Ge was doomed. Before she died, she had to vent the resentment in her heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to rest even in the afterlife.County Lord’s reputation, and today I will ruin yours!” The woman in yellow finished speaking, her hands lightly clapped together, and two burly men walked in from outside."Second Sister!"
