466 Revival
Hui Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. If Xia Hongyuan could successfully capture Liu Sanniang’s family within a few days, she might have a chance of survival.
Liu Sanniang returned home once, which proved that she still cared about her family.
She did not care about fame or fortune, but as long as there was something she valued, she wasn’t invincible.
Hui Zhen continued. “Your Highness, send someone to the well in the backyard of Suzhai Pavilion to see if my thing is still there. If it is, bring it to me.”
Xia Hongyuan said, “It’s not there anymore. People from the Xuanyi Department went there with Liu Sanniang. She took something away. It’s said to be called Immortal Meat. If she wants to deal with you, she can only come to my place. In my territory, I won’t let her call the shots.”
Hui Zhen was a little worried. “If it succeeds, then I’ll be able to continue living. If it doesn’t, then I can only apologize for failing to fulfill what I promised to Your Highness. Regardless of whether I can live or not, Your Highness, you have to know that Liu Sanniang is dangerous and must die.”
Even if she was going to die, she would not let Liu Sanniang off so easily.
Xia Hongyuan knew this fact very well. He said in a low voice, “I know. You’re still injured. Rest well.”
Hui Zhen nodded. Right now, she was suffering from the pain of being burned by the Karmic flame every second. Even speaking a few words would consume her energy and add to her pain.
She hated Liu Sanniang to death. She had spent so much effort setting up the trap, but Liu Sanniang did not show up. She felt greatly humiliated.
Hui Zhen hated the others even more. They sat back and watched while she was in misery. Even if she died, she would wait for those people in hell.
At this point, every moment had become endless torture. The pain that seeped into her bones gnawed at her bit by bit. Hui Zhen did not even have the strength to cry out in pain.
The night had passed, and the sky gradually brightened.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan carried the immortal meat to the crown prince’s mansion.
The servant hurriedly went to report.
Xia Hongyuan’s face darkened. “She really dares to come here?”
Why was Liu Sanniang so bold? Did she know that this was the crown prince’s mansion and he was the future emperor?
Liu Sanniang knew it very well. She just didn’t take it seriously. Xia Hongyuan’s expression darkened. He stood up and walked out.
Looking at Liu Sanniang coldly, he said, “Miss Liu, do you think this is a place you can come and go at will?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Hongyuan. “I’m here to see Master Hui Zhen and give her what she wants.”
Xia Hongyuan looked at the cloth bag in her hand. The immortal meat must be inside.
Xia Hongyuan was a little confused. He looked at Liu Sanniang, trying to see her motive from her expression, but it was to no avail. Liu Sanniang showed nothing that betrayed her motive.
Xia Hongyuan gritted his teeth. “In that case, Miss Liu, come in.”
Hui Zhen really needed this thing. Xia Hongyuan was on guard against Liu Sanniang. The guards had their hands on their swords, ready to attack at any time at Xia Hongyuan’s order.
However, Liu Sanniang acted as if she didn’t see any of it. She followed Xia Hongyuan in.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the guards had already surrounded the entire courtyard. Xia Hongyuan looked at Liu Sanniang. “Master Hui Zhen is inside.”
Xia Hongyuan looked at the cloth bag. “Miss Liu, you can put the thing down.”
Liu Sanniang said expressionlessly, “Other than me, no one will be able to take it in.”
Xia Hongyuan’s expression was cold. He raised his hand and a guard stepped forward to take the cloth bag from Liu Sanniang. However, when he touched it, his hand was burned and he quickly retracted his hand.
Liu Sanniang held the cloth bag and looked at Xia Hongyuan indifferently.
Xia Hongyuan gritted his teeth. “Then please take it inside, Miss Liu.”
Liu Sanniang continued walking inside. Xia Hongyuan followed closely behind. The entire mansion was heavily guarded.
Liu Sanniang pushed the door open and opened the cloth bag. A rich fragrance immediately spread out. Hui Zhen, who was originally dizzy, immediately opened her eyes when she smelled the fragrance. She struggled to get out of bed and fell to the ground. She looked up at Liu Sanniang with a cold expression. “Give it to me.”
Xia Hongyuan’s expression was cold. “Miss Liu, please return it to Master Hui Zhen.”
Hui Zhen reached out to Liu Sanniang as if she had seen an oasis in the desert, but she did not seem to have any strength and could not even crawl up to her.
Liu Sanniang walked towards Hui Zhen. With every step she took, Hui Zhen’s eyes became brighter.
Liu Sanniang stood in front of Hui Zhen, squatted down, and placed the meat in front of her.
Hui Zhen’s sinister expression turned into surprise. She almost pounced on the meat and opened her mouth to devour it.
Liu Sanniang watched her quietly.
Xia Hongyuan frowned. He did not know why Liu Sanniang was doing this, but he had a bad feeling that it was not a good thing for Hui Zhen to eat this. He shouted coldly. “Master, stop.”
However, Hui Zhen seemed to have turned a deaf ear to the outside world as she wolfed down the meat.
The rich fragrance made Xia Hongyuan swallow his saliva. He ordered sternly. “Go and take the thing away. Don’t let Master Hui Zhen eat it.”
A few guards stepped forward, but when they touched the meat, their hands were burned.
It was obvious that not everyone could touch this thing.
Xia Hongyuan’s face darkened. No one could touch this thing, but Hui Zhen could eat it in big mouthfuls.
Soon, Huizhen had already eaten half of it. Her body began to change. She was getting younger and more reinvigorated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her white hair turned black, and the wrinkles on her face gradually smoothed out.
Xia Hongyuan’s eyes widened. This thing was really immortal meat! It could revive the dead.
He was a little excited. “Master Hui Zhen, I order you to stop eating it immediately!”
How could he allow her to hog such a good thing?
However, Hui Zhen did not listen and ate it in big mouthfuls. She felt full of strength. Although she did not know why Liu Sanniang wanted to return this to her, she couldn’t care less. Perhaps Liu Sanniang did not know what this thing could be used for.
After Hui Zhen finished the last bite, she became a beautiful woman in her thirties. Her unfocused eyes became clear. She looked at Liu Sanniang and her eyes darkened. “Miss Liu, you made a big blunder. This time, I will not show mercy.”
She curled her fingers into the shape of a claw and came at Liu Sanniang fiercely.
To Hui Zhen’s surprise, Liu Sanniang didn’t doge. Instead, Liu Sanniang reached out to grab her wrist even when her heart was already pierced by Hui Zhen’s claws.
