The guards unsheathed their swords, Mu Wanqiu and others changed their expressions, and the atmosphere in the ruined temple solidified for a moment.
The threat in Hongyu's words couldn't be more obvious.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Wanqiu asked coldly.
"It's very simple."
Hongyu opened her sleeves, revealing large swaths of red meat inside. There was no skin at all and the muscles were twisted, clearly showing the traces of severe burns.
"Did you see that?"
Wang Huzi and others glanced at it, then immediately looked away, not daring to look any further for fear of irritating the maid who was the concubine of the King of Zhenbei.
Mu Wanqiu was also a woman, and her eyes couldn't help showing sympathy.
Hongyu only showed her arms, and the rest of her body was probably too horrible to look at.
As a woman, with such ugly and invisible injuries, Hongyu must have gone crazy.
"I must avenge this hatred."
"Not only the female ghost in red, Xiao Qian, but also the tree demon grandma behind me, I want them all to die!"
"If they don't die, then I will die here."
Hongyu sneered and waved.
The three guards bowed their heads and obeyed the order.
"Go down the mountain immediately and keep a record of the current situation."
"If we fail to slay the demon and get down safely, you will send the documents back to Zhenbei Palace."
"Princess and Madam, you will avenge us."
While speaking, Hong Yu's eyes were dark, scanning around Mu Wanqiu and others.
After Hongyu finished speaking, the three guards accepted the order and pushed open the temple door and went down the mountain regardless of the wind and rain outside.
Inside the temple, looks of shock and anger appeared on the faces of Xie Sanshao and others.
There may be a sequence, but in the end they all clearly grasped Hongyu's threatening meaning.
Even if she dies, she will kill the demon to take revenge.
If they don't help, people like Hongyu will die on the mountain, and their behavior of refusing to save them, or even suspected of colluding with demons, will fall on Princess Zhenbei's desk.
By then it will no longer be a matter for just a few of them.
The families behind them, their teachers, relatives and friends will all be affected.
Everyone's reactions are also different.
Some were furious, some frowned in deep thought, and some were dismissive...
Yang Wen and Li Guangping looked at each other and smiled, and were about to speak to persuade each other.
At this moment, the old lady beside Hongyu coughed twice and said coldly: "Hongyu, don't forget the main reason why we went up the mountain?
It’s not for your own personal vendetta.”
The crutch she was holding in her hand hit the ground, and she continued dissatisfied: "In order to escape for yourself, you used the magic weapon that was used to protect the young master at the critical moment, and now you actually dare to put your personal hatred above the young master's safety!"
"If the young master has something wrong with you, and I come back to the palace and insist on complaining to you in front of the prince and princess, I will definitely not make it easy for you."
Faced with her mammy's harsh words, Hongyu opened her mouth, and finally turned her face away without saying anything.
She sneered in her heart: "You still want to find the young master? I'm afraid the body will be cold."
Hongyu didn't know how many of the people who went out this time were the princess's people, and why the princess wanted to put an inconspicuous bastard to death.
She just heard that the young master's mother, the humble concubine, was as beautiful as a flower when she was young. She must have been favored by the prince, thus offending the princess and his wife.
So much so that as time passed and people died, the princess still refused to let her son live.
