Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Do you know why I agreed to cancel your marriage?" the Queen asked again.

"I don't know." Xiahou Jiuyue answered truthfully.

She didn't know and was confused, which was not in line with her mother's style.

"The marriage between you two was originally initiated by Yuxia Country, but now you have taken the initiative to cancel the marriage. You simply don't take my Fenglin Dynasty seriously!"

"Today, Prince Yuxia came to the palace to explain to me that he had been unconscious for the past few days because he was poisoned by Xu. He confronted Xu about what happened that day and produced evidence to prove his mistake."

"No matter how cunningly Xu tries to defend himself, I still believe that he was the one who did it. I know him too well." As she spoke, deep disappointment and helplessness flashed across the empress's eyes.

After a pause, she continued, "The prince said that the marriage between the two countries was meant to be a symbol of friendship between the two countries, but he was murdered by someone in my dynasty for no apparent reason and was almost killed. He secretly mocked whether this was the sincerity of our dynasty, or whether there was another deeper meaning behind it!"

"Tell me, how can I let him accuse my dynasty of coveting other countries' cities? Since he doesn't want to marry, I will oblige him to prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble, which will be detrimental to my dynasty." She looked tired, with melancholy between her brows.

Xiahou Jiuyue felt quite complicated. Xu's behavior was like someone grabbing her by the pigtail and forcing her mother to submit.

If the Queen Mother does not agree, other countries will certainly take the opportunity to cause trouble. If she agrees, they will miss out on five cities.

Whether you agree or not, our dynasty is always in the wrong.

She finally understood why her mother was so angry and why she sent Xu to the cold palace.

Those in power are always obeyed by everyone, and no one dares to disobey.

Prince Yuxia was quite courageous and negotiated with the Queen alone.

However, she still had a question in her heart. Prince Yuxia was clearly in a coma due to being poisoned. What kind of evidence did he produce to prove his guilt and make the Queen Mother believe him?

"Mother Queen, since the prince wants to cancel the engagement, just agree to him. This will silence the gossips. I believe that long-term harmony between the two countries cannot be achieved through marriage." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

What she hated most was that the ancients always talked about marriage alliances as a universal solution to problems.

"My son! People have always been selfish, always thinking about themselves and their own country. Only through marriage can the two countries come together through relations." The queen sighed.

Xiahou Jiuyue lowered her eyes and remained silent. Her mother was right. Everyone was selfish, and she was no exception.

Although she did not like the marriage, she also knew the pros and cons. If there was no mutual benefit between the two sides, who could maintain a united front with you?

After returning from the palace, Xiahou Jiuyue began to arrange for Zhongli Muchen to be detoxified.

He has to go back, but he can't let him go back with the poison in his body. It's like a time bomb that might explode suddenly one day.

Originally, she wanted to wait until she knew more about the poison before trying to remove it, but now, there was not much time for her to learn more slowly.

Xiahou Jiuyue found Zhongli Muchen and told him the real situation. After Zhongli Muchen listened quietly, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Originally, I thought that he was just poisoned, and the other party must not dare to kill him because of his status as a prince.

I never thought that he was too naive.

As a prince, how could he not know what poison is?

"Master, people are here."

At this time, Ye Wu arrived carrying a shivering palace man and threw him to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!" The palace man was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Tell me, what kind of poison did you use?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked.

As far as she knew, there were many kinds of Gu, and each one was so terrifying.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, it was the Tian Jue Gu that was forced upon me by Concubine Lian. I am innocent!" the palace servant cried out.

If he had known that Lian Cejun would fall, he would never have dared to cast a curse on the prince.

"Tian Jue Gu? What's the fatal effect? ​​Can it be life-threatening?" Xiahou Jiuyue said with a dark face.

You can tell this thing is not a good thing as soon as you hear it.

"Your Highness, this poison will not harm people's lives. It will make the person who is poisoned lose all emotions and love, and become cold and heartless. After a period of time, the person holding the poison will control his thoughts and behaviors, and he will no longer be himself." The palace man said truthfully in fear.

These words successfully made Xiahou Jiuyue's face darken even more, but a trace of doubt flashed through her heart, wondering what Xu's plan was this time.

Zhongli Muchen was shocked and his face turned pale instantly, but he didn't know why, he suddenly felt very scared. He was afraid that after the poison was removed, he would regret what he had done before.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, please spare my life!" The palace man begged for mercy in a heart-wrenching manner.

"If you want me to spare your life, then you have to remove the poison that you have put in me. Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death." Xiahou Jiuyue said with a sharp look in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will remove the poison right away." Gong Nan heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, but he felt bitter in his heart.

He was forced into it, and never expected that the King of Chen would find out about it. If he doesn't remove the poison today, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

"Your Highness Prince Chen." Zhongli Muchen said with mixed feelings.

He suddenly discovered that Prince Chen was not as annoying as he had imagined.

"You lie on the bed and he will remove the poison for you." Xiahou Jiuyue said directly.

Seeing this, Zhongli Muchen quietly lay down on the bed. Gong Nan walked over tremblingly and took out the things needed to remove the poisonous insect from his bag.

When everything was ready, Gong Nan seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking as if he didn't know where to start.

Seeing that he was hesitant and stammering, Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I want to remove the poison from the prince, so I need to take off his clothes." The palace servant said in a low voice.

He didn't know that the engagement had been cancelled, so it was difficult for him to ask her to back off.

Hearing this, Zhongli Muchen's cheeks suddenly turned red and he looked at Xiahou Jiuyue unnaturally.

"If you dare to play tricks, I will take your life." After saying that, Xiahou Jiuyue turned around and left as usual.

"I dare not." Gong Nan promised fearfully.

Zhongli Muchen felt indescribably complicated. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little lost.

Xiahou Jiuyue retreated out of the house, and Ye Wu followed her.

Only Zhongli Muchen, Gong Nan and a servant were left in the house. Even the secret guards in the dark had retreated outside.

The process of removing the poison is very complicated, and in order to avoid any accidents, Xiahou Jiuyue has been waiting outside the house.

It was not until late at night that Gong Nan, looking pale, weakly opened the door.

"Your Highness, I have taken out the poisonous insect from the prince's body. Please come inside and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiahou Jiuyue immediately ran into the house. Seeing that Zhongli Muchen had fallen into a deep sleep, she felt relieved.

She reached out and carefully checked his pulse, and the poisonous insect in his body was indeed removed.
