And the scariest thing is, my name is impressively on the list of new wives!
I was given a new palace and forcefully washed by a bunch of palace maids. After that, the emperor would come to see me that night! Of course, I had to reject him, but my magic power had been restrained by Mo Yu … This bastard!
I was unable to escape, so I struggled with all my might. In the midst of the chaos, I used the sharp weapon that we foxes were born with … Claws! I scratched the emperor's face.
The Emperor was hurt and angry, and he sent me to the cold palace.
Living in a cage filled with mana, I couldn't help but bitterly smile … I did not expect to live in a cold palace one day!
Since I'm living in the Cold Palace, I have to enjoy the treatment of the cold palace. Although I didn't compete with the harem for favors, I feel that I'm not the emperor's concubine …
However, the empress dowager's heart was lonely, and they usually had nothing to do. Now that they finally had some fun, how could they let it go so easily?
Thus, the second day after I moved into the Cold Palace, there were people secretly trying to persecute me. There were also people who came to ridicule me, and there were also people who beat up my Falling Water Fox … In short, the Cold Palace was bustling with activity like never before, and the guests who came to visit me were flocking to and fro one after another …
First, Gu Yunxi accompanied the empress to the cold palace to "visit" me.
The queen loathed me. She began by saying that I had seduced the crown prince, leading to his rejection of the marriage, causing the empress dowager and Prime Minister Gu to lose face; then she said that I had seduced her husband's heart, causing the emperor to fight in the harem for me; these actions were shameless, affecting the peace and unity of the harem, and ruining the harmony of the Tianyu Dynasty … Furthermore, now that the Emperor and Qing Ling and his son are together, it is all because of me.
Alright, I will endure all of this in silence. In any case, being scolded won't hurt my bones. At most, my left ear will enter while my right ear will exit …
However, she still couldn't vent her anger by scolding me, and she even told Gu Yunxi to give me a few heavy slaps! This time, I really can't bear it anymore, why do the empress dowager like to slap people in the face!
Gu Yunxi rolled up her sleeves and moved forward. I got angry and tried to resist, but I found that my entire body's mana has been restrained ever since I was arrested! At this moment, my strength is still weaker than Gu Yunxi's, and I can't compare to the old mama from the palace beside the empress …
After suffering a few heavy kicks, Gu Yunxi raised her arm and was about to heavily slap me when her hand was suddenly grabbed … It was Princess Yaohua!
Seeing Yao Hua's face covered in dark clouds, my eyes darkened … This was really happening again and again! Heavens, are you really going to kill me!?
Yao Hua grabbed Gu Yunxi's hand, her gaze cold as she asked, "Miss Gu, what are you doing?"
Gu Yunxi, who usually relied on her status as a daughter, couldn't help blushing when she did such a rude act in front of the princess. "Err … Princess …"
The empress quietly pulled her niece behind her and raised her head to look at Yao Hua arrogantly. "I'm the one who asked Yun Xi to teach this fox spirit a lesson. Does the princess have any objections?"
Yao Hua bowed to the empress and then stared at me with cold eyes. "Mother wants to teach the white boy a lesson, so why would I object? However, Yao Hua had a presumptuous request … "I hope that mother can hand over the heavy responsibility of teaching this fox a lesson to me. This child happens to have a few debts to settle with her …"
The empress looked at Yao Hua with uncertainty, then looked at me, and finally gave a graceful smile. "Alright, I'll let you have Bai Qi first."
The Queen complacently glanced at me, that is a "wish you good luck" look...
I looked at the cold air coming out of Yao Hua's body and shivered.
However, I still feel guilty towards Yao Hua … I once caused her to be kidnapped by the Lightning God Cult, I let her down!
Since that's the case, I've decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb for the rest of the time, not retaliating at all against the princess and not responding at all with curses …
Yao Hua waited for the Queen to leave the room before rushing forward to slap me in the face … You shameless vixen!
'Pa! 'It was an earth-shattering sound.
I hung my head gloomily... Yao Hua really hated me! But she ought to hate me...
Seeing that I didn't make a sound, Yao Hua got even angrier, so she took a stance with one hand on her waist and pointed at me with the other as she started cursing …
Unfortunately, she was a noble princess and had grown up in the palace. She usually studied poetry, books, and music, so she knew about propriety, justice, integrity, and didn't have much skill when it came to scolding people …
Finally, the old mama who was responsible for guarding me got a little tired of hearing my words. She stepped forward and advised, "Your Highness, can I invite you to sit down and have a cup of tea to moisten your throat? "Your 'shameless fox spirit' has been scolded eighty-one times, and the fox spirit has already fallen asleep hearing it …"
I pricked up my ears and stood still, indicating that I wasn't asleep.
Yao Hua glared at her unhappily: You can control it! This princess wants to curse! This princess has yet to vent her anger! "
The old lady's face was full of flattery, "Oh wow, what's the point of scolding people? "Princess, if you really want to vent your anger, why don't you let this servant give you a few ideas …"
I cried out, "No! I want to protest! Strong opposition to lynching! "The emperor has decreed that you are not to use lynchings against me …"
The old mama glared at me. "The emperor only said you can't slap your face, he didn't say you can't hit other places …"
The heavens!
However, in this Leng Ning Palace, there is no one who can help me with justice. Very quickly, Yao Hua accepted the old granny's suggestion.
The two of them whispered to each other as their eyes revealed a vicious light …
Not long after, the old granny took a few items from outside and placed them on the table in front of Yao Hua. She then gave Yao Hua a "please feel free" look before obediently withdrawing with everyone else.
I saw Yao Hua's personal maidservant also leave the room, and she even gave the old nanny and the guards a large bag of silver coins.
On the table were a few extremely thin steel needles, as well as some torture instruments that could cause pain but did not leave behind any scars. Although these things were not fatal, if they were to be used in real life, it would be worse than death. The old mama and the rest probably used them to punish the young palace maid, right? Bad!
I looked eagerly at Yao Hua. "Princess, you aren't really going to prick me with needles, are you?"
Yao Hua picked up a steel needle and blew on it. The needle shone with a cold light under the sunlight …
She said, "If I really wanted to prick you, why did I need to use needles? Last time, I went with you to the Lightning God Cult, and when I returned, I studied the ten great tortures of the Tianyu Dynasty …"
I was speechless.
However, I'm not really worried about her making a move on me right now, because that slap seemed to be very forceful, but it actually didn't hurt at all …
Yao Hua held the steel needle and drew on my body. I took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "How is Qing Ling?"
Yao Hua said, "Being poisoned, my cultivation has already been drained by half. Although my life is not in danger, my body is getting worse every day. I need to find the antidote as soon as possible!"
I was shocked, "Qing Ling was poisoned?"
Yao Hua: "That's right."
I suddenly realized... No wonder he lost to Li Muyu in battle! However, his cultivation was high and he was proficient in medicine and medicine. As a prudent and meticulous person, it would not be easy for someone to poison him. Moreover, he didn't seem to be aware of it before this … What was going on?
Yao Hua said in a low voice, "Royal brother is currently trying his best to force out the poison, but without the antidote, we are unable to remove the remaining poison. So he wants me to come and confirm with you, what kind of poison …"
"You want to confirm the type of poison with me?" "But I don't understand pharmacology?"
Yao Hua took out a small package from her pocket and handed it to me. "This is the item he asked me to pass on to you!" You will know why he was poisoned just by looking at him! "
I hurriedly took it and opened it. There weren't any words inside, only a dried up Phoenix flower!
Phoenix Flower!
Could the green plume poisoning have something to do with the Phoenix Flowers? Or is he hinting to me that his poisoning has something to do with the Pill Phoenix Palace? I immediately thought of the first suspect... Last feather.
