"What are you waiting for? Quickly capture this assassin!" Baili Hongzhuang's voice echoed through the air.
Qiao Ming's face changed drastically. He still couldn't understand how Baili Hongzhuang had discovered him. This one step had ruined all his plans.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced at the nearby steward and guards, raising her right hand slightly. "It's alright, I can handle it!"
Upon hearing her words, the guards hesitated. Was the princess consort planning to deal with the assassin herself?
Qiao Ming was also panicking at this moment. He never expected the guards to react so quickly, and he never expected that Baili Hongzhuang would be able to fight him for so long!
Baili Hongzhuang knew that with her current strength, she had to give her all in this fight against Qiao Ming, or else there would be no clear outcome between them.
Without hesitation, she took out a packet of poison powder from her bosom and sprinkled it directly towards Qiao Ming.
In this situation, continuing the fight had no meaning anymore.
She wasn't concerned about Qiao Ming himself, but rather the person behind him!
Qiao Ming didn't expect Baili Hongzhuang to suddenly use poison. By the time he reacted and tried to cover his mouth and nose, it was already too late. The spiritual energy in his body dissipated instantly, turning him into an ordinary person!
Baili Hongzhuang pressed the tip of her sword against Qiao Ming's neck. "Who sent you? Speak!"
Qiao Ming looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a stubborn expression. "I won't tell you!"
"If you won't tell me, I have my ways to make you talk!" Baili Hongzhuang's eyes turned slightly cold. As a physician and poison expert, she had unique methods of interrogation!
Baili Hongzhuang turned to the steward and the others. "It's fine, you can leave. Don't let today's events spread!"
"Yes!"
Everyone understood the abilities of their princess consort and immediately left. They knew that she was more than capable of handling the situation.
Baili Hongzhuang bound Qiao Ming and brought him inside the room. "I'll give you one last chance to avoid suffering. Speak, or not?"
"Give it up. I won't talk!" Qiao Ming admitted that he had failed this time, but as an assassin, not revealing the identity of his employer was the key to survival.
Upon hearing Qiao Ming's response, Baili Hongzhuang wasn't surprised. She directly pinched Qiao Ming's chin and threw a pill into his mouth.
"What did you feed me?" Qiao Ming asked anxiously.
"Something that will make you tell the truth obediently," Baili Hongzhuang's voice turned icy. "When you're ready to speak, call me."
With those words, Baili Hongzhuang paid no attention to Qiao Ming's astonishment and calmly sat back on the bed, closing her eyes to cultivate.
To her, a mere assassin was not worth wasting too much time on.
Qiao Ming couldn't help but feel that Baili Hongzhuang was toying with him. At best, it was just poison. It was impossible for her to make him reveal the identity of his employer!
However, not long after, Qiao Ming's face changed because he felt waves of excruciating pain coursing through his body, causing his expression to contort!
"How could this be!" Qiao Ming's face showed a terrified expression. What kind of pill was this? He had never heard of it before!
Cold sweat trickled down Qiao Ming's forehead as he struggled to endure the unbearable pain. It was worse than death itself.
Little Black and Little White looked smugly at Qiao Ming. Their owner's methods were not something an ordinary person could compare to!
"Ah!"
Qiao Ming couldn't help but scream in agony as the pain grew more intense, feeling as if countless insects were gnawing at his heart. It was unbearable, worse than death.
Baili Hongzhuang remained unchanged, still calmly cultivating.
"I'll talk!" Qiao Ming's last trace of willpower completely shattered under this unbearable pain. "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
However, Baili Hongzhuang seemed as if she hadn't heard him at all...
