Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Kill me, please kill me!" the woman begged bitterly.

Xiahou Jiuyue took off her gloves and took out a piece of silk to wipe her hands clean.

"killed."

The person behind the scenes has already asked, so there is no need to keep this person.

When Song Xiaoyi took out a dagger and was ready to kill him with one blow, Xiahou Jiuyue suddenly thought of something in the firelight and stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered something."

There was a hint of confusion in Song Xiaoyi's eyes, but he still stopped killing.

"Yes."

"Come, tell me, how did Lord Lian want you to get rid of me?" Xiahou Jiuyue bent down and whispered in the woman's ear.

She still couldn't understand this.

Since he was ordered to assassinate her, why did he not take action even though she was given so many chances?

"Lord Lian gave me a drug that is colorless and tasteless. If you take a little bit, you will become demented and violent in a month, and you will kill people uncontrollably."

"The effect of the drug lasts a long time, and it's not easy for people to notice. Even if they notice it later, it will be of no use. People will not know that it was Lady Lian who gave the drug. Once Prince Chen falls into the drug, he will die." The woman said with a distracted look.

She couldn't get close to Prince Chen, so she didn't dare to use it rashly.

Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes were cold and stern, and Shangguan Linglong and Song Xiaoyi's faces changed drastically.

If this woman succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Oh? Where is the medicine now?" Xiahou Jiuyue said in a voice as cold as winter moon.

She had never heard of such a vicious drug.

This person has been locked up here for so many days, but Song Xiaoyi has not found his medicine, which means that she has hidden it.

Since someone dared to use such a sinister and vicious drug on her, she had to fight back no matter what.

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Otherwise, how rude would that be?

As for the return gift, she had already thought about it and decided to use this one.

Treat others in their own way.

This is the best way to respond to the opponent, and it also shows her respect for the opponent.

“The drugs... the drugs have been destroyed... by me. This thing kills people without being visible. We cannot let it harm the world, harm the world..." the woman murmured.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue laughed out of anger.

Can't harm the world? So you can harm her?

"Give her a quick death!" Xiahou Jiuyue stood up.

Since the things have been destroyed and this person has no value anymore, let's just send her off.

"Yes." Song Xiaoyi.

After dealing with the matter, Song Xiaoyi was ordered to send Shangguan Linglong back home, while Xiahou Jiuyue sat alone in the carriage, thinking.

Searching my mind for all the information about Lian Cejun.

Lian Cejun was originally the legitimate son of a third-rank official. Later, he was ordered to enter the palace and was named a talented person.

It was not until he gave birth to the fifth princess, Xiahou Yan, that his path to the harem became smooth and he rose step by step.

In just a few years, he had already ascended to the throne.

Relying on the fact that she gave birth to a princess, she became arrogant and domineering in the harem, showing off her power and causing trouble.

The fifth princess, Xiahou Yan, is the complete opposite of her father.

She has a very versatile mind and is very good at observing people's expressions and winning people's hearts.

On weekdays, she was kind and friendly to everyone, and even often left the palace to rescue refugees in the city.

She won a lot of favor among the people in the city and in front of the empress.

Not only that, the Queen thought highly of her. As early as three years ago, she had already named her the King of Rui. She was a person who should not be underestimated.

As soon as Xiahou Jiuyue got off the carriage, Ye Yi came to greet her immediately.

She stayed in the mansion and did not follow Xiahou Jiuyue to the farm.

"Your Majesty, just now at night five came a report that at ten o'clock in the evening, the palace of Xianqin was not very peaceful. It seemed that it was because of the Xianwang."

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue stopped.

"Tell Ye Wu to keep an eye on the movements of everyone in the palace, especially the wise king."

"Yes."

"Tomorrow morning, please ask Military Advisor Ran to come to the study. I have something important to discuss with you." It was already past midnight.

"Yes..." Ye Wu hesitated to speak.

Xiahou Jiuyue looked puzzled when she saw her like this.

"Anything else?"

"Your Highness, during dinner, Young Master Yu was waiting for Your Highness to come back and have dinner together. However, when he learned that Your Highness had left the house, he went to bed." She said, not daring to look Xiahou Jiuyue in the eye.

There was a flash of surprise in Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes. Was Ye Yi too idle recently that he had to report even such trivial matters to her?

Ye Yi was under Xiahou Jiuyue's scrutinizing gaze, feeling a little flustered in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously darted around.

Seeing her like this, Xiahou Jiuyue became more and more confused. Was Ye Yi hiding something from her?

"Yoichi, how long have you been following me?"

Hearing this, Ye Yi was shocked.

"Your Highness, Ye Yi has been following you ever since you rescued me. It has been more than ten years now." Ye Yi said nervously.

Back then, her family was hunted by her enemies, and all her family members were killed to protect her. She thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, she was saved by a passing prince.

From then on, she had always stayed by the prince's side to repay him for saving her life.

Later, with the help of the prince, she finally killed her enemy.

After her great revenge was achieved, she swore a vow to follow the prince for the rest of her life, to serve him at all times and to repay his great kindness.

"Ye Yi, you should know my rules best." She would never tolerate betrayal from her own people.

"Your Highness, Ye Yi swears to follow you till death and has no second thoughts. Please understand my words, Your Highness." Ye Yi knelt on the ground in panic and said seriously.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue sighed in her heart.

"Yoichi, wake up."

Ye Yi has been with her the longest. He is serious and responsible in his work and is calm and reliable.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust her, but she has been absent-minded and seems strange in recent days, completely different from her previous self.

This forced her to give her a warning, lest she continue in this way for a long time, which would inevitably lead to trouble.

"Yes." Ye Yi felt relieved instantly.

The next morning, Xiahou Jiuyue was waiting in the study.

Soon, two people walked in from outside the door. One was Ye Yi, who was dressed in black and had a cold face, and the other was a young woman who was dressed in a crescent-shaped white robe and had a pretty face.

"Your Highness." Ran Qing saluted.

"Military advisor, no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Afterwards, Xiahou Jiuyue recounted what happened yesterday.

After listening to this, Ran Qing looked heavy-hearted and pondered for a moment.

"I wonder what the military advisor thinks about this matter?" Xiahou Jiuyue said.

Ran Qing had been hers several years ago. Although she was young and had a scholarly air, she was actually a very shrewd and strategic person.

"Your Highness, I think you should be on guard against the virtuous king. After experiencing this blow, the virtuous king's temperament will definitely change."

"By then, the dissatisfaction and resentment that the wise king has suppressed for many years will be like a flood that breaks through the dam, submerging everything and making it impossible to guard against." Ran Qing said with worry between his brows.
