Chapter 527: We Came From The Same Place
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Xiangrong got a shock and her whole body’s muscles tensed up. Su Ying slowly walked into the room and gestured for the others to leave. The door was closed, and with that, the only ray of golden light s.h.i.+ning into the room was also blocked.
Zhou Xiangrong leaned against the bed and realized that she could no longer move. Nevertheless, she did not dare to relax.
“Your Imperial Highness… why… why can’t I move my body?” Zhou Xiangrong opened her mouth, but the voice that came out sounded like a mosquito buzzing.
Su Ying walked up to Zhou Xiangrong and looked down at her, her eyes completely devoid of any emotion. “Zhou Xiangrong, I have to say that you hid it really well.”
Zhou Xiangrong’s heart immediately jumped to her mouth. She moved the corners of her lips with difficulty. “I don’t know what Your Imperial Highness means by this?”
Su Ying’s lips curled up, but there was no trace of any smile in her eyes. “You are fully aware. You know very well what you have done.”
“No, no, I did not…” Zhou Xiangrong wanted to argue back, but before she could finish, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
“Feeling unbearable? That’s right. I said before that this is a pill that can make people tell the truth. If you don’t tell the truth, your body will feel more and more unbearable until you suffocate to death. After the incidents occurred, I honestly thought that you were really coveting the money that could be exchanged for innocent girls. But today, the incident concerning that student called Tingting made me think that you were aiming for something quite high.” Zhou Xiangrong felt as if the oxygen in her lungs was almost sucked dry She opened her mouth and gulped in large mouthfuls of air in an attempt to suck more oxygen into her lungs. Cold sweat had already broken out on her forehead but her body still could not move.
“Your Imperial Highness… I did not…”
-Your target is me.” Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes seemed to be able to pierce through all of Zhou Xiangrong’s pretense.
Zhou Xiangrong was already shocked to the extreme. She had been conscientious in her actions and had planned meticulously in every aspect She didn’t know where she had exposed a flaw that allowed Su Ying to discover her plan.
“And the plague in Luo City. Those people didn’t get any disease at all. It was poison. Zhou Xiangrong, it was you who poisoned those people!” Zhou Xiangrong’s jaw dropped as her eyes widened abruptly. She had already forgotten to keep up the pretense.
This was impossible. This was impossible! There was no way Su Ying could have known that the plague was faked! Even if the miracle healer Hua Tuo was alive, he would never know either!
As Zhou Xiangrong looked at Su Ying, her eyes gradually darkened. She had asked around before and knew that the current Su Ying had a completely different personality compared to the Su Ying of the past. It was as if she was an entirely different person. Now, she was very suspicious that the Empress before her had also transmigrated!
The impending death made Zhou Xiangrong think of taking a gamble. She stared intently into Su Ying’s eyes and uttered a modern-era mnemonic, “Odd number changes but even number remains unchanged.”
Su Ying raised her eyes icily. “What did you say?”
Zhou Xiangrong gritted her teeth and said, “Your Imperial Highness, you and I originally came from the same place, so why do we have to kill each other’ I have no intention of offending Your Imperial Highness. It’s just that after I came to this world, the Marquis of Bo An’s Residence didn’t treat me as a human. Everything I’ve done is just to secure a future for myself.” Zhou Xiangrong’s words contained too much information, so much so that Su Ying needed some time to react.
However, no matter what she thought inwardly, her face remained emotionless outwardly.
“Zhou Xiangrong, I have truly underestimated you. You poisoned so many innocent people just to gain a future for yourself. Regarding this matter in the academy, did you also do this to gain a future? Do you think I am a fool?” Zhou Xiangrong opened her mouth and took a deep breath with great effort. “Your Imperial Highness, I definitely have no intention of harming you. I really don’t know anything about the academy… Argh!”
Before Zhou Xiangrong could finish her sentence, she felt an excruciating pain in her body. It was as if someone was crus.h.i.+ng her bones one by one. It was so painful that she almost fainted.
Su Ying slowly stood up and stepped on Zhou Xiangrong’s face. “Zhou Xiangrong, I’ll give you a chance to retain an intact corpse.”
Zhou Xiangrong’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Su Ying with immense hatred. Her heart was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with resentment.
When she came to this world, she was being pursued by killers. However, the heavens were kind to her and gave her a spatial medicine box. It enabled her to immediately establish a foothold in the capital city and put her plan into motion.
In her previous life, Zhou Xiangrong was someone who could mix well in both the underworld and the orthodox, respectable society. Even if she came to a different era, she would not allow herself to fall into ruin. She wanted to become the leader of this world!
Up until this morning, everything had been going according to her plan. However, it never occurred to her that Su Ying would notice something amiss.
“Don’t kill me… I… I can help you and the Emperor… Help you unify the world…” Zhou Xiangrong did not want to die. If she died, all her hard work over this long period would have been in vain.
Just as Zhou Xiangrong was on her last breath, Su Ying abruptly released her grip. She wouldn’t kill Zhou Xiangrong now. After all, this ruckus in the academy was no small matter. Zhou Xiangrong had to step forward and admit her crimes.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Zhou Xiangrong took a deep breath and felt herself coming back to life again.
Su Ying suddenly thought of something and asked icily, “What’s your relations.h.i.+p with Xiao s.h.i.+hang?”
Zhou Xiangrong could no longer hide the shock in her eyes, but it was only for a fleeting moment. She managed to control her expression and said innocently, “Who are you talking about, Your Imperial Highness?”
However, Su Ying caught the instant Zhou Xiangrong’s expression changed. This woman was truly not simple. Su Ying licked her lips. Su Yulun had almost died at the hands of this woman.
“Zhou Xiangrong, there is nothing wrong in you wanting to fight for a future for yourself. It’s just that this future you want is not so straightforward now is it?” Su Ying carefully recalled all the details of her encounter with Zhou Xiangrong. Only then did she realize that Zhou Xiangrong was undoubtedly Plotting something. If Su Ying hadn’t used the pill to trick her, she might not have been able to locate this culprit Zhou Xiangrong so quickly!
That pill was not a truth pill at all. It was just a pill that made the body feel extremely unbearable. Su Ying also did not come here just to interrogate Zhou Xiangrong. She simply went down the row to trick these people.
A person’s consciousness would become extremely vulnerable when his body was at its weakest and most unbearable. Even Zhou Xiangrong, who was so meticulous, was no exception.
Zhou Xiangrong glared at Su Ying. She knew that Su Ying would never kill her right now. She still had time to save herself!
Su Ying opened Zhou Xiangrong’s mouth and shoved a pill inside.
A bitter taste instantly spread out in Zhou Xiangrong’s mouth. Zhou Xiangrong thought that Su Ying was going to kill her, but after the pill dissolved, the strange feeling in her body also disappeared.
She raised her eyebrows in bafflement. She did not know what Su Ying wanted to do.
“That Teacher Fang was also planted by you.”
Zhou Xiangrong pursed her lips and didn’t answer. Su Ying was also not interested in hearing more details. “Zhou Qing, bring a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in here.”
A moment later, Zhou Qing pushed open the door and walked in with the items.
Su Ying gestured to her to place it in front of Zhou Xiangrong.
“From the first day you came here, write down everything you’ve done, no matter how big or small..”
