Rebirth of the Strongest Empress Novel - Chapter 1365
Chapter 1364: Mission Completed (3)
The Emperor said coldly, “General Qiao, you have a good daughter here. How dare you to kill Taoist Master Dongfang! Your family is really not afraid of anything!”
People who were good at refining elixirs were called Taoist Masters in this world. Dongfang Qing was the best Master in refinement in the Yuan Kingdom.
“Your Majesty, Qiao’er is still young. She was crazy for a period of time due to some events. That’s why she made such a huge mistake.” General Qiao was very determined to protect her daughter and pleaded for mercy.
However, the Emperor would not let go of Ye Qingtang so easily.
“General Qiao, I should not take it on your whole family since you have contributed greatly to the kingdom. However, Su Qiao will be dead here. You’re always loyal to me, so she will be just given a glass of poison.”
After the Emperor finished his words, a servant at the side held the glass of poison that was prepared long ago and walked forward.
General Qiao was shocked when he saw the poison. How could he not know about it after being the General for so many years? He was too familiar with its bitter smell.
That was a special poisonous wine in the royal family. It was so poisonous that anyone who consumed a drop of it would have his organs to rot and die. There was absolutely no cure to it.
Obviously, the Emperor did not want to keep Ye Qingtang alive. He did not show any mercy even when General Qiao kneeled and pleaded.
“Your Majesty… I’m willing to use my everything in exchange for Su Qiao’s life. Please, your majesty…”
“Shut up!” The Emperor shouted.
“You should be grateful for your contributions over the years. If not, your entire family will die along with Master Dongfang today! Master Dongfang had been looking for ways to refine immortal elixir for me all the time… Su Qiao did not only kill him, but she also killed my opportunity of being immortal!” The Emperor gritted his teeth and said.
He really wanted to kill the entire General’s family, but he had to acknowledge the contributions from General Qiao, and the prime minister’s family also pleaded for him.
General Qiao’s body was filled with cold sweat. He knew that the Emperor must be very angry, but… he did not expect that he would be so furious.
Su Mo’er was confused as she stared at her nervous father. Why, all of a sudden, would her father protect Su Qiao when he did not care about him all the time?
However…
Su Mo’er received an order from the General’s wife that Su Qiao must be dead here. This would be revenge for Dongfang Qing.
Su Mo’er took a step forward, held the glass, and walked towards Ye Qingtang.
“Elder sister, the mistake you made is unforgivable. You must take this in order to save the entire Su family.”
Ye Qingtang was not familiar with Su Mo’er, but she knew that this was Su Qiao’s sister who took her fiance away. She did not bother to reply to her; instead, she took a glimpse at the poisonous wine.
She could smell its bitterness before even tasting it.
Though she did not know what it was called, based on her medical knowledge, the poisonous wine… might be equivalent to those inferior narcotic drugs.
What kind of poison was this? It contained color and smell?
“Qiao’er, you can’t…” General Qiao was very nervous. He was about to stop Ye Qingtang, but she took over the glass of poisonous wine and drank everything.
People’s reaction in the palace was all different when they saw Ye Qingtang drink the incurable poisonous wine.
Everyone from the Dongfang family was content as they had taken their revenge. Su Mo’er smiled coldly.
Chapter 1365: Gap (1)
“Your Majesty, Su Qiao is dead now. Please forgive my family.” Su Mo’er was very sure that Ye Qingtang must be dead. She kneeled down towards the Emperor and pleaded for mercy for the General using her identity as the Prime Minister’s daughter-in-law.
The Emperor frowned, but before he could say anything…
“Is there more?” After drinking the glass of poisonous wine, Ye Qingtang shook the empty glass and stared at everyone in the palace calmly.
“…”
Everyone looked towards Ye Qingtang unbelievably.
“What… what did you say?” Su Mo’er could not believe what she just heard.
“Say, do you have more wine? I’m quite thirsty.” Ye Qingtang did not drink any water after stepping into this world. She really felt thirsty, especially after a long period of cultivation.
The wine…
It was bitter but still could quench her thirst.
As for the poison…
Ye Qingtang could release the poison just by taking a breath with her Second Heaven of Arcane Supremacy ability.
“You…” It was as if Su Mo’er had just seen a ghost.
That is the most poisonous wine here. Did Su Qiao become a real idiot?
How could she ask for another glass?
Besides Su Mo’er, both the Dongfang family and General Qiao were shocked.
“Your Majesty, I don’t feel anything with that one glass of poisonous wine. How about a few more glasses? Maybe I’ll die faster with the additional toxicity.” Ye Qingtang noticed the reaction from everyone else and said slowly.
The Emperor’s lips twitched slightly as he had never seen anyone being so willing to die.
“Sure, since you want to die faster, I’ll give you what you want!”
The Emperor asked someone to pass the whole bottle of poisonous wine to Ye Qingtang.
People from the Dongfang family pulled themselves out of surprise. Ye Qingtang would die from rotten organs soon after she took the poisonous wine. They could just watch her suffer slowly until death.
The servant who was holding the bottle wanted to help Ye Qingtang pour another glass, but she took over the entire bottle and finished everything inside in front of everyone.
It was the first time they saw someone that could drink poisonous wine so generously.
Ye Qingtang’s thirst was quenched, and the little trace of toxicity disappeared as she breathed out slowly.
The poisonous wine might not even be able to kill a Connate Level One cultivator…
Anyone who knew how to cultivate using spirit energy had some defense against poison. Unless the toxicity of the toxin was above the person’s level, the poison would not have any effect.
However, no one there knew about that.
They were all waiting for Ye Qingtang to die when her organs were punctured by the poison.
However, after a long while…
Ye Qingtang was still standing there. Her face was radiant, and she looked like she was full of energy.
“…”
Did someone swap the poisonous wine?
“Qiao’er… You… do you feel anything wrong?” General Qiao, who was depressed, suddenly saw that the poisonous wine did not seem to have any effect on his daughter.
“What do I need to feel?” Ye Qingtang said.
General Qiao’s lips twitched. He suddenly remembered the bright light appeared on top of Ye Qingtang’s room earlier on and was stunned. He wanted to say something, but the Emperor cut in.
“Long Qi!”
