Chapter 172 - 172 Living Hell
172 Living Hell
Gray curtains covered the entire bed.
The sealed windows not only prevented any sunlight from entering the room, but even the air was no longer circulating.
On the bed, a figure continued to moan.
The beautiful blanket on the big bed was already covered in blood. There was even blood dripping down the fabric to the ground.
Beside the bed, a hunched man was holding a bowl and pouring something into Wen Qiong’s mouth.
As Kong Rui looked at the man, she found him familiar.
She watched as the blackish-red liquid in the bowl was poured into Wen Qiong’s mouth.
Because she had drunk too much, a lot of liquid flowed down the corner of Wen Qiong’s mouth.
A corner of the drapery on the bed was lifted by the man. Kong Rui could see Wen Qiong’s hand on the side of her body, but her skin was already as withered as an old woman’s.
If not for the moon birthmark on Wen Qiong’s neck, Kong Rui would have suspected that the person on the bed wasn’t Wen Qiong at all!
How did she become like this?
Even though she had been ruthless back then, Wen Qiong couldn’t have ended up like this!
Kong Rui was baffled. After the man put down the bowl, he wiped the corner of Wen Qiong’s mouth with a dirty rag.
“Princess, don’t blame our master for being heartless. You lied to him first. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked me to serve you, right?”
Wen Qiong’s eyes were filled with hatred, and blood tears even flowed from the corners of her eyes.
The man took out a handkerchief and wiped Wen Qiong’s blood tears before continuing, “Since you’re not born with phoenix essence, it’s not right to lie about it! I’m only keeping you alive because Master wants to lure the owner of the phoenix essence out!”
“Don’t worry, before Master obtains the phoenix essence, I definitely won’t let you die! I’ll accompany you day and night and let you drink this purest nectar every day. I’ll definitely let you enjoy things you’ll never forget in your last moments!”
Wen Qiong’s eyes were burning with anger. She glared at the person, as if she wished she could open her mouth and bite off that person’s flesh.
However, she was too weak now. Not to mention dealing with the man in front of her, even sitting up was wishful thinking!
When she saw Wen Qiong like this, Kong Rui’s heart skipped a beat.
Back then, the high and mighty princess had never thought that she would end up like this.
Did the woman who had cruelly extracted the phoenix bone from her know that she was about to exhaust her own blood?
Kong Rui suddenly felt relieved. The putrid smell of blood also became extremely sweet to her.
She didn’t know if it was because she was under the man’s influence, but she was sure that when she saw the liquid flowing from the corner of Wen Qiong’s mouth, she wanted to go forward and stuff it into her mouth again.
As Kong Rui was thinking, she heard the man say, “The queen made a deal with my master, so there’s no point in keeping you alive anymore.”
“I thought that the queen would visit you on account of your mother-daughter relationship. I didn’t expect that the queen hasn’t come even once since the deal was struck!” the man said and suddenly chuckled.
“Princess, do you feel very aggrieved, sad, and want to cry?” As the man spoke, he chuckled. “You and your mother are really disgusting! However, since you don’t have much time left, I’ll take care of you for a few more days out of kindness. It can be considered as fulfilling my duty as a servant.”
