Shanglinyuan, temporary camp.

Yu Shu's face was filled with anxiety and grief. Her eyes were fixed on Zhao Gao. She pleaded in a trembling voice, "Zhao Gao, I beg you, please release Lord Yi."

Yi Xiaochuan's assassination attempt failed, and he was captured by Yi Huawei. He was tied to a pillar in the middle of the lobby and beaten by Lang Wei. His clothes were already torn, revealing shocking wounds, and blood kept oozing out, staining large areas of his clothes red.

Several Langwei attacked without mercy, and every time they whipped, there was a whistling sound, as if they were going to tear Yi Xiaochuan's body apart. Yi Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain, but his eyes were still stubborn and unyielding. From time to time, he looked in the direction of Concubine Li and Yi Huawei, his heart full of resentment and anger.

"Okay, you go down first!"

"promise!"

Yi Huawei waved his hand lightly, and several Lang guards bowed respectfully and left the barracks.

"Master Yi? What kind of master is he?"

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, and he slowly played with the tiger talisman in his hand. The tiger talisman flowed through his fingertips. He raised his head and his eyes fell on Yu Shu: "To be honest, I don't care about him. You see, I haven't issued a wanted order for him for more than a year. He wanted to jump under my nose on his own."

After a pause, Yi Huawei turned to look at Yi Xiaochuan: "I am very curious about something. When the queen and I left the palace, who gave you the news? Who is your accomplice in the palace?"

"Haha~, you think you can ask me to betray my brothers? You are crazy!" Yi Xiaochuan's eyes widened with anger, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in hatred. The blood splashed on the ground, and his eyes were full of determination: "Gao Yao, if you dare, kill me! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. They're just a few mice. I don't care about them."

Yi Huawei raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a light smile, and cast his eyes towards Yu Shu. His tone seemed respectful but also carried a hint of unquestionable:
"Your Majesty, this is not my fault. Assassinating your majesty is equivalent to treason, which is a serious crime. I will report to your majesty and choose an auspicious day for him to enforce the law. He has no nine clans, so he should be executed by slow slicing, hehe~"

Hearing this, Yu Shu's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful face was full of worry. She clenched her fists tightly, her slender fingers turned slightly white due to the force, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip tightly.

"Master Zhao, what do you want in exchange for letting Xiaochuan go?"

Yu Shu's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of desperate pleading, and she stared at Yi Huawei closely.

Yi Huawei just looked at Yu Shu quietly, and was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not up to me. Yi Xiaochuan committed such a serious crime, and the will of His Majesty is the key. However..."

As he spoke, Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly, paused deliberately, and locked his gaze on Yu Shu's nervous expression. Then, the corners of his mouth slowly rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "If the queen can agree to one condition of mine, perhaps I can save his life."

"Don't promise him!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Yi Huawei's malicious smile and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Yu Shu, don't agree to him!!" His red eyes were filled with anger and his body was shaking slightly with excitement.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Shu's eyes, and she asked anxiously: "What are the conditions? As long as I can save Xiaochuan, I am willing to do anything."

Her voice trembled slightly, and her beautiful face was full of determination and resoluteness.

"My lady, my conditions are very simple..." Yi Huawei's smile deepened. He slowly picked up the wine glass on the table and shook it gently. The wine rippled slightly in the glass: "I'm thirsty..."

Yi Huawei's voice was low and magnetic, but his eyes never left Yu Shu.

"You?..." Yu Shu was slightly startled, a trace of anger and humiliation flashed in her eyes. She turned her head to look at Yi Xiaochuan, and seeing his stubborn and painful eyes, her heart softened instantly. She gritted her teeth and took the wine glass. Her slender fingers tightly grasped the glass, as if trying to restrain her emotions. Holding back her shame and anger, Yu Shu's hand trembled slightly, and she slowly brought the glass to Yi Huawei's lips.

However, Yi Huawei shook his head slightly, his eyes wantonly falling on Yu Shu's delicate and tempting red lips, his intention was obvious.

"No, I want you to feed me!"

Yi Huawei's voice carried a hint of evil temptation as he stared at Yu Shu, his eyes seeming to devour her.

"don't want!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes were red and he struggled frantically. The ropes on his body left bloody marks on his skin: "Gao Yao, you bastard! You dead eunuch! Yu Shu, don't agree to him!!!"

The roar echoed in the barracks, full of despair and anger.

"You...don't even think about it!!"

Yu Shu was so angry that her face turned red. Her beautiful face became even more charming because of her anger, like a flower blooming in a storm. Her body trembled slightly, as weak as a petal in the wind, but full of stubbornness.

Yi Huawei's mouth curled up into a faint, somewhat evil smile, which was full of pride and insolence. He slowly turned his head to look at Yi Xiaochuan, with undisguised provocation and ridicule in his eyes:

"They say the first time is new, the second time is familiar. This is our third time. Would Your Majesty be embarrassed in front of Xiaochuan?"

"What!??"

Yi Xiaochuan was struck by lightning when he heard this. He widened his eyes and watched Yu Shu lower her head, her eyes dodging, not daring to look at him. His body shook violently, as if he was hit hard by an invisible and powerful force. He simply couldn't believe what he heard. The anger and despair in his heart were like a surging tide, instantly drowning him.

"Gao Yao! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Yi Xiaochuan struggled frantically, and the ropes left bloody marks on his wrists and ankles, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"You!" Yu Shu's eyes moved back and forth between Yi Huawei's evil face and Yi Xiaochuan's body covered with scars. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan's painful appearance, her heart seemed to be pierced mercilessly by countless sharp blades. Each sharp blade pierced deeply into her heart, bringing endless pain.

"Hurry up, or I'll change my mind at any time!"

Looking at Yi Huawei's dangerous eyes, Yu Shu knew that she could not hesitate any longer. In order to save Yi Xiaochuan, she had to make sacrifices.

Yu Shu bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth biting hard, leaving a deep bloody mark on her red lips. The bright red blood slowly seeped out, just like the pain in her heart flowing.

Slowly pouring the wine in the cup into her mouth, the wine seemed to turn into an extremely bitter poison in her mouth. Yu Shu no longer hesitated, with only one thought in her mind, that is to save Yi Xiaochuan.

Looking at Yi Huawei, Yu Shu's eyes were full of helplessness and determination, and she slowly approached Yi Huawei. Her movements were slow and heavy, and every step seemed to be in great pain. Her steps were as if filled with lead, and every step was so difficult.

Yu Shu pursed her red lips tightly, tears of humiliation welling up in her eyes, but she had to make this helpless move for Yi Xiaochuan. She slowly approached Yi Huawei, and each step seemed to be heavy. When she got close enough, she could even clearly feel Yi Huawei's hot and oppressive breath.

Yu Shu closed her eyes slightly, trying to escape this terrible reality, but her concern for Yi Xiaochuan forced her to continue.

Yi Huawei gently pinched Yu Shu's chin and lifted her face slightly. Looking at Yu Shu's tightly closed eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes, an evil impulse surged in his heart. He slowly approached Yu Shu and gently touched her lips with his lips. At that moment, Yu Shu's body suddenly stiffened, and a strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart. But she did not resist, but just endured it all silently.

Yi Huawei refused to give in and pressed Yu Shu's red lips tightly. Yu Shu's heart was filled with despair and resistance. But Yi Huawei's hand gently pinched Yu Shu's chin and increased the strength on his lips. Under Yi Huawei's coercion, Yu Shu's red lips gradually loosened.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Yi Xiaochuan watched this scene from the side, his eyes red and ready to burst, twisting his body frantically, trying to break free and rush forward to pull Yi Huawei away. But his efforts were in vain, and he could only watch Yu Shu being forced to kiss Yi Huawei.

The kiss lasted only a moment, but it seemed as long as a century. When Yi Huawei finally let go of Yu Shu, her pretty face was already full of tears. Yi Xiaochuan seemed to have his spine pulled out, hanging helplessly on the rope, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Looking at the distraught Yi Xiaochuan, Yu Shu's eyes flashed with an unspeakable guilt. The guilt was like a heavy yoke, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. She stared at Yi Xiaochuan blankly, her lips trembling slightly, but she didn't know how to face him, and didn't know what words to use to explain all the helplessness and humiliation. In the end, Yu Shu didn't say anything, but turned around silently and walked out of the barracks slowly. The back was lonely and resolute, as if carrying endless pain and struggle.

"Yi Xiaochuan, if you don't know, you would think I kissed your wife!"

Yi Huawei raised his chin slightly, with a smug mockery in his eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, as if he was still savoring the kiss. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan who had lost all hope in life, he sneered: "Who are you showing this behavior of your dead wife to?"

Yi Huawei's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Yi Xiaochuan's already broken heart again.

Yi Xiaochuan stared blankly at the direction where Yu Shu left, his eyes empty and desperate. He turned a deaf ear to Yi Huawei's ridicule. In his mind, there was only Yu Shu's forced figure and the heartbreaking scene. His body trembled slightly, and the pain in his heart was like a surging tide that constantly hit his reason. He wanted to roar and resist, but found that he was powerless.

"what!!"

Yi Xiaochuan roared to the sky, his voice seemed to break through the clouds, with endless grief and despair. His eyes were red, the muscles on his face were twisted with anger, and the whole person was like a wounded beast. Then, his eyes went black and his head drooped.

"Humph, that's all you can bear. If I wasn't so shy, tsk tsk... I would have to give you a live broadcast."

Yi Huawei looked at the unconscious Yi Xiaochuan with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Before falling into coma, Yi Xiaochuan vaguely heard Yi Huawei's ridicule, and then he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already night. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and there was silence all around. The makeshift camp had been dismantled, and he was lying alone on the grass. His body was covered with wounds, and his clothes were soaked in blood, but Yi Xiaochuan seemed unconscious. Those injuries seemed insignificant compared to the pain in his heart.

"I must kill you!"

Yi Xiaochuan roared, his voice full of anger and determination. The flame of revenge burned in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

"You are the King of Western Chu, but you can't even defeat a eunuch. Now you have no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Bang. Liu Bang should be serving in Mount Li now... Qin Shi Huang only has one year to live. When that time comes, I will tear you into pieces!!!"

After calming down, Yi Xiaochuan began to think about how to take revenge. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and dug his nails deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. He struggled to stand up and staggered away.

The figure looked so lonely and so determined in the moonlight. Now Yi Xiaochuan had only one thought in his mind, that is, to find Liu Bang and use his power to avenge his hatred. No matter how much it cost, he would make Yi Huawei pay a painful price for what he had done.

………………

The journey back to Xianyang Palace was long and quiet.

The carriage moved slowly along the rugged road, and the sound of the wheels rolling was dull and monotonous.

In the carriage, Yi Huawei lazily leaned on the seat, his eyes fixed on Yu Shu, whose face was as cold as frost. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered by a layer of cold frost and snow, exuding an aura that kept people away from her.

Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled softly, with a hint of teasing and amusement in his smile: "I have already let him go, you don't seem happy?"

Yu Shu pursed her lips tightly, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. That hatred was as tangible as substance, hot and strong. She stared at Yi Huawei fiercely, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces with her eyes: "You dare... Zhao Gao! If you dare to be frivolous to me again, I... I will die in front of you!"

Yi Huawei raised a wicked smile, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "My queen, don't talk about death so easily. You must know that in this palace, your life and death are in my hands. If you don't obey, I will not only make Yi Xiaochuan live a life worse than death, but also let your mother and Tu Anguo fall into an irretrievable situation."

Yu Shu's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled slightly. She knew that Zhao Gao's methods were cruel and he was absolutely capable of doing everything he said. But she would never give in easily. She bit her lips, suppressed the fear and anger in her heart, clenched her fists, and secretly swore in her heart that she must get rid of Zhao Gao's control and protect her dignity and love.
