Chapter 192: Being Preempted
Yi Qianhuan brought Shen Yubao and Yi Mobao back to Qingzhu Courtyard.
Putting the unconscious Yi Mobao on the bed, Yi Qianhuan gently wiped the sweat from Yi Mobao's forehead with a light purple handkerchief.
Seeing Yi Qianhuan standing up, Shen Yubao subconsciously grabbed her: "Fairy sister, don't be impulsive!"
Yiyi Qianhuan touched Shen Yubao's head and said, "Don't worry, I'm very calm."
It is precisely because she is calm enough now that she must go and settle accounts with the Queen Mother and Baili Ting.
For the sake of her calligraphy, she is not afraid of offending anyone!
Yi Qianhuan pulled Shen Yubao off his body like a chicken, then pushed the door open and walked out, handing Shen Yubao to Liuli who came in.
Liuli understood Qianhuan best. Seeing her attitude, she guessed what she wanted to do: "Miss, I will accompany you to take revenge!"
"I'm going there to reason, not to cause trouble. Liuli, take Yubao with you to guard Mobao, I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Liuli to refute, Yi Qianhuan looked at her deeply.
Liuli, who was originally about to speak, agreed obediently as soon as she opened her mouth.
Shen Yubao struggled in Liuli's arms like a carp: "Sister Liuli, Fairy Sister is impulsive, you just can't understand it! Now Fairy Sister has no status, let alone dealing with the Queen Mother, even if she attacks Baili Ting, this matter will be a big deal!"
Liuli blinked at Shen Yubao and said innocently: "The lady didn't lie, she is indeed very calm."
Shen Yubao was a little skeptical: "Really? So Sister Fairy really didn't go there to cause trouble?"
At first he was worried that the Fairy Sister would be impulsive, but now it seems that he was overthinking?
Liuli smiled bitterly and said, "No. The more angry the young lady is, the calmer she is. Now, let alone you and me, even if the emperor comes, he can't stop the young lady from going to settle accounts with Baili Ting. You and I should not make things difficult for ourselves."
Shen Yubao almost rolled his eyes and fainted: "Then I can't just watch Fairy Sister mess around! Sister Liuli, take me to the Imperial Master's Mansion!"
Liuli hesitated for a moment, but in the end she was worried about Qianhuan, so she rushed over with Shen Yubao.
Here, Yi Qianhuan came directly to the main gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Baili Ting is recognized as the most powerful master of mysticism in the capital and is ranked first grade. Therefore, the house he lives in is full of luxury. The gate is vermilion, and even the plaque with the words "National Master's Mansion" hanging on the gate has three big words "National Master's Mansion" written in gold.
With disdain, he swept his eyes over the particularly imposing stone lions at the gate, then Yi Qianhuan took steady steps and kicked the vermilion door open.
With an extremely fierce aura, Yi Qianhuan said coldly after entering the room: "Tell Baili Ting to come to see me immediately!"
However, none of the guards that Yi Qianhuan imagined rushing out to stop her appeared. In the entire front yard of the Imperial Master's Mansion, there was not even a ghost, let alone guards.
Normally, even if there are no guards at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, there should be a doorman to receive guests.
He walked all the way into the front hall and didn't meet anyone. Just when Yi Qianhuan was wondering if he had come to the wrong place, a scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from the direction of the backyard.
"Ah! I am the imperial master of the dynasty. I, I am of noble status. You will pay a heavy price for treating me like this!"
Baili Ting's voice was filled with anxiety, and he let out another scream as soon as he said this.
Vaguely feeling that the development of things was beyond his imagination, Yi Qianhuan did not rush and walked directly towards the backyard.
When approaching the backyard, he heard a series of screams from Baili Ting again. Yi Qianhuan walked through the corridor and finally stood still in the backyard.
It was noon at this time, and the sunlight shining from the sky was bright and dazzling, so bright that Yi Qianhuan raised her hand to block it.
The backyard of Baili Ting is filled with rare plants, and various flowers and plants are vying for beauty, which is breathtaking at first glance.
But there are many inappropriate torture instruments placed here.
There were forks, chains, shackles, whips, skinning knives, boning knives, and even beds of nails and tiger benches, and you could even see bloodstains when riding on them.
The courtyard was filled with such horrifying things, and they were all flashing sharp light under the sun. One could feel their power just by looking at them, and no one knew how many lives had been taken by them.
While Yi Qianhuan was admiring the scene, he heard another scream coming from the front.
Following the sound, Yi Qianhuan looked towards Baili Ting and was surprised to see Baili Ting hanging upside down on the swing in the courtyard.
Baili Ting's ankles were tied tightly, and he was like a big bouncing carp, twisting and struggling constantly.
There was an iron ball weighing at least several dozen kilograms under his body, and he needed to exert a lot of strength to ensure that he could straighten his upper body.
But Baili Ting's strength was limited, and the weight on his body soon made him lose his strength. His body swayed, and then with a splash, his body was forced to stand vertically, and his head plunged into the water tank below.
It felt very uncomfortable to hang upside down with one's face submerged in a water tank, and Baili Ting's whole body bounced violently.
The more panicked and struggled he was, the less strength he had, which caused him to choke on the water even more and he looked like he was about to die.
Yi Qianhuan seemed not to notice Baili Ting's struggle. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Chilian who was sitting steadily on the armchair not far away.
With one hand casually fiddling with the Buddhist beads, Ji Chilian did not forget to raise the tea bowl in his hand to greet Yi Qianhuan.
"Madam, you have come at the right time. The cloud tea here is a must-try. I just asked the tea master to brew the first batch of clear tea. Now it tastes just right. Madam, you are in for a treat today."
While Ji Chilian was speaking, the Jinyiwei had already brought another chair and served tea. Yi Qianhuan did not hesitate and walked up and sat next to Ji Chilian.
When she took the tea bowl handed to her by the tea master, Baili Ting was pulled out of the water by the Jinyiwei.
"Cough, cough, cough, help, help! The Beifusi killed someone, the governor killed someone!!" Baili Ting struggled to say a word and then suddenly started coughing, choking out tears and snot.
Seeing that Baili Ting had started to roll his eyes, Yi Qianhuan put down the tea bowl in his hand.
"Madam, do you feel sick?" Ji Chilian gently shook the tea bowl. "It's my fault for not thinking it through. The state master is soaking wet, and he looks really embarrassed. Lin Tong, find a way to dry the clothes on the state master."
Baili Ting was let down from the swing by the Jinyiwei led by Lin Tong.
Yi Qianhuan watched as Baili Ting showed an even more frightened expression.
"No, don't touch me. Let me go, no, ahhhhh!" Baili Ting had no strength to struggle. He cried and screamed, but his hands and feet were still tied to a thick log.
