Commoner Queen: Falling in Love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - Chapter 31

Princess Li glanced at the water in the teacup. “You’ve committed a great disrespect again! This princess does not drink half a cup of water. You are clearly insulting me on purpose. Ying Shui!!!” The princess once again deliberately made things difficult for Murong Ziying.

“Your Highness, please stop tormenting me. I’ll pour the water again for you,” Murong Ziying stopped her from calling Ying Shui again to punish her.

“Hmph! Fine, I’ll give you another chance.” Princess Li coldly watched as Murong Ziying struggled to approach the table to refill the teacup.

With each step, more bl00d seeped from her green silk robe. By the time her robe was drenched in bl00d, she had finally filled the cup and presented it to Princess Li.

Princess Li smugly took the teacup, took a sip, and immediately spit it out. “How outrageous! What tea is this? It’s cold and tasteless! You can’t even do a servant’s job properly, yet you dream of becoming the Crown Princess…”

“So it was for this reason that Your Highness specifically came to trouble me? I truly understand. I’ve never intended to compete with Lady Shui for the position of Crown Princess. Why must you humiliate me like this?”

Murong Ziying, understanding their intentions, felt outraged. They really were taking advantage of her just because she came from another time. She wouldn’t tolerate this forever. Her patience had limits.

“Such sweet words! You, demoness, think your fox-like charm can make you oppose me at every turn. You must be stirring trouble in front of the Crown Prince, or he wouldn’t be so angry with me. You’re a reason of death to others, a worthless thing. Today, I will humiliate you to make you understand that you’ll never stand a chance against me.” Ying Shui slapped her hard again.

“You…” Murong Ziying gasped for breath. She couldn’t take the humiliation anymore. “Leave, leave this place!” She could no longer tolerate it. As the saying goes, everyone’s patience has its limits.

“You have such boldness, even daring to order me to leave. Your Highness, this demoness is too unruly; she must be taught a lesson,” Ying Shui turned to Princess Li. With her immense power, she wasn’t afraid of Murong Ziying’s anger.

Princess Li angrily slammed the table. “What a cunning girl! Ying Shui, take off her shoes!” She had many ways to torment her, and she was sure Murong Ziying would soon beg for mercy.

Ying Shui immediately moved to act! Murong Ziying resisted, but despite her skills in judo, her body was too injured to fight back. In no time, her shoes were removed, exposing her delicate feet.

“Ying Shui, bring the embroidery needles,” Princess Li said maliciously.

Soon, the sound of piercing cries filled the air as Murong Ziying cried out in agony. Her tears could no longer be held back. “What have I done wrong? Why are they so cruel to me?”

Each needle that pierced her skin brought unbearable pain, and she longed to scream for help or beg for mercy. But she held it in. As long as there was breath in her body, she would never bow down and beg.

“Die, demoness! This is to rid the world of you,” Ying Shui crazily continued stabbing the needles into her feet, taking pleasure in her torment.

“The Crown Prince is back…”

Just as Murong Ziying was enduring the agony, a sound came from outside.
