「At the gates of Jing University.」
Ten minutes had passed.
To the onlookers, those ten minutes felt like a century.
But for Gu Yuexi, her patience was nearly exhausted.
She did not like to wait for people.
Especially not for a few old geezers who, in her eyes, were utterly beneath her notice.
A flash of impatience crossed her eyes.
"To make this Empress wait so long."
She spoke coldly. Her voice wasn't loud, yet it made everyone's heart leap into their throats.
"Since they still haven't arrived, don't blame me for what happens next."
"Let's start with you."
Her gaze slowly shifted, finally landing on Lady Liu—the one who had been the loudest in her taunts earlier, and was now the most wretched.
Lady Liu, her consciousness already blurring from the pain, felt that icy gaze and shuddered violently. In a sudden, lucid flash, she became completely awake.
"You... What are you going to do?!"
she shrieked in terror.
