TFSRITA Chapter 17

Comfortable my foot!

Her elbow was already injured, and now being gripped made the pain so intense she felt like she might spasm!

Yan Qing’s eyes turned red, but she held back her tears, biting her lips and glaring at Ji Yecheng. Her elbow throbbed so much that she dared not speak, afraid that any sound would come out as a cry.

Ji Yecheng seemed even more satisfied with her reaction, the anger from being punched dissipating. He patted her small face and mocked, “Be good, or I have many ways to torment you.”

Yan Qing slowly exhaled, trying to suppress her rage. However, unable to control herself, she glared at Ji Yecheng and spat, “Ji Yecheng, you bastard! Crazy! If you have the guts, kill me already! Don’t just torture me like this—”

Halfway through her curses, Yan Qing’s other arm was dislocated as well. The familiar “crack” sound was heard, and Ji Yecheng even helped to rub it, his expression oddly softened. His beautiful fingers touched her knee as he gently asked, “Want to try the sensation of dislocating this one?”

Yan Qing reflexively thought of the continuous pain, her lips trembling, fear now showing in her eyes. She mumbled, “Why don’t you just kill me already! Why won’t you kill me!”

“I don’t want to kill you for now,” Ji Yecheng replied, returning to his seat and leisurely picking up a cup of tea.

Want to die?

Before he relents, even death won’t come easily.

Yan Qing felt a wave of darkness and her body seemed to sway as if targeted by a demon.

This madman!

…

Realizing she was at a disadvantage, continuing to provoke would only add to her injuries. Yan Qing closed her eyes, trying to calm her murderous intent and anger.

Hong Tao quickly came over to help her up.

Yan Qing used the support to rise, glancing at the others still kneeling in fear.

In reality, Ji Yecheng wasn’t paying attention to them; as soon as Hong Tao approached, he ignored them.

They were too timid.

In a hoarse voice, she said, “Take me back to my quarters.”

“Yes,” Hong Tao, gathering her courage, responded, stealing a glance at the emperor, who was focused on his fingers and not paying attention to them, thus quickening her pace.

Afterward, when the doctor arrived, Yan Qing finally left. The dislocation wasn’t a serious problem, just very painful. After the doctor set the bones, it was fine. However, due to her delicate health, the doctor prescribed some medicine.

As for Ji Yecheng, after the doctor examined him, his nose was just a bit red and swollen. With the application of the golden ointment, the swelling subsided quickly.

After all, Yan Qing’s strength was not great, so the consequences were minor.

Ji Yecheng glanced at the quarters and then left Lingyun Palace without looking back.

It was only after leaving Lingyun Palace that he suddenly remembered why he was there.

The Empress Dowager had sent word that the Empress was too arrogant and had insulted several concubines on her second day in the palace, frightening two of them.
