Female Master: The Cold Prince

"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Xiahou Jiuyue asked as she withdrew her hand.

"Your Highness, the prince will wake up tomorrow." Gong Nan's face became paler at this moment.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue was a little puzzled. It shouldn't take any internal energy to remove the poison, so how could he be so weak? It was as if his body was hollowed out.

She concealed the doubt in her eyes and asked Ye Wu to take him downstairs to rest. How could she let such a person who knew about Gu return to the palace?

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen!" The palace maid was overjoyed.

He thought that after he removed the poison, he would be in great danger, but he never expected that King Chen would let him go.

After the two men left, Xiahou Jiuyue stayed in the house for a while, asked the servant in the house to take good care of the child, and then turned and left.

The next morning, Xiahou Jiuyue came to the backyard, wanting to see how Zhongli Muchen was recovering. As soon as she entered, she saw that he was pale, with panicked eyes and leaning helplessly against the head of the bed.

Xiahou Jiuyue's heart tightened and she walked forward quickly.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Could it be that the poison in the body has not been completely eliminated, or has he been poisoned again?

Thinking of this, she pulled up Zhongli Muchen's wrist and took his pulse to check carefully.

Zhongli Muchen's eyes suddenly turned red. Looking at the woman in front of him with worried eyes, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The true feelings that had been suppressed by the Tianjue Gu were completely released at this moment.

He didn't know he was poisoned before, he just knew that in the past few days, he suddenly felt disgusted with the woman in front of him.

No matter what the other party did, he hated it.

Thinking about what I have done in the past few days, I really want to draw my sword and commit suicide.

For the sake of his country, he traveled thousands of miles to marry her. He thought everything was worth it when he met her, but God seemed to not want him to get his wish and played a huge joke on him.

Xiahou Jiuyue was concentrating on taking his pulse. When she raised her eyes, she saw him crying and was stunned for a moment.

The two men were very close to each other, and it was the first time I saw a man cry at such a close distance.

Zhongli Muchen was already handsome, and the tears he shed at this moment added a sense of broken beauty to him.

Xiahou Jiuyue thought she was not a person who liked beautiful women, but at this moment a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"You, what's wrong?" She covered her eyes and asked softly.

The poison in his body has been cleared out. Could it be the aftereffect of the poison?

"I... I'm fine, Your Highness Prince Chen, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." He turned his head quickly. What else could he do now that things had come to this?

He had asked for everything, and now it was destroyed by his own hands. What right did he have to regret?

Seeing him turning his head away and not wanting to face her, Xiahou Jiuyue sighed in her heart.

Judging from his current appearance, he must have fully recovered.

Knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, Xiahou Jiuyue did not disturb him anymore and quietly left the room, leaving him alone to calm down.

Inside Fengyi Palace.

"Father, that Xu is so stupid that she actually admitted that she poisoned Prince Yuxia. Isn't this courting death?" Xiahou Zhiruo said with disbelief in her eyes.

"You know what, I'm also quite surprised. No matter how stupid Xu is, she won't cut off her own retreat." Feng Jun said thoughtfully.

He had seen everything that Xu had done over the years, and he could be said to have some skills, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne just by relying on his daughter.

Now that he has fallen into the hands of Prince Yuxia, it only shows that Prince Yuxia is a talented person. If he can use such a scheming person, it can save him a lot of trouble.

"No matter what, it's all his own fault that the Xu family is in this situation today," said Xiahou Zhiruo.

She had long disliked Xu. Relying on the fact that she had given birth to a good daughter, she stirred up trouble in the harem and looked down on everyone. She deserved this fate.

"Don't be happy too soon. Prince Duan is not as mediocre as Prince Xian." Feng Jun reminded.

Even with all the evidence and witnesses, the empress still tried her best to protect Xu. Why?

"So what? Without the support of the previous dynasty, even if the Fifth Princess is very capable, she won't be able to achieve anything." She didn't care.

What kind of waves can a princess who has lost the strong support of her maternal family and whose father has been deposed make?

On the contrary, the Fourth Princess poses the greatest threat to her. If she wants to secure her position as the Crown Princess, this obstacle must be removed.

"Stupid! Xu is losing power now, but can you guarantee that he won't turn things around in the future?"

"Don't forget, although Xu Rong was thrown into prison, she is still alive. When Prince Duan returns to Beijing, there is no guarantee that the verdict will be overturned." He was suddenly a little disappointed with his daughter in front of him.

If you only see the immediate benefits and ignore the long-term, you will only become a stepping stone for others.

"Then why don't we just make sure the Fifth Princess never comes back?" As she spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, Feng Jun became even more furious.

"That's enough, stop talking. Don't you understand what has happened so far?"

"If something happens to Prince Duan at this time, who do you think your mother will suspect?"

It was obvious that all of this was planned by someone. From Xu Rong being thrown into jail to the Xu family being deposed, these were all a series of schemes that were arranged in advance.

Otherwise, how could things in the world be so coincidental.

They were all being used. The Crown Princess' power was used to attack Prince Duan's power, and then he was used to depose Xu, making the Crown Princess and Prince Duan irreconcilable from then on.

If Prince Duan met with any misfortune at this time, he would certainly be suspected by the Empress, and his position as Crown Princess would be in jeopardy.

If Prince Duan returns to the capital safely, he will definitely blame everything on the Crown Princess and will fight her to the death.

What a tricky chain of schemes that made them fall into the trap without realizing it.

Xiahou Zhiruo was shocked for a moment when Feng Jun scolded her. Then, she understood the reason and couldn't help but take a breath.

My father is right. If she really does that, she will be the next person to be abandoned.

"Father, I, your son..." Xiahou Zhiruo felt ashamed. She was indeed not as far-sighted as her father.

"Okay, now you just need to think of a way to get rid of this dirty water and prevent your mother from getting suspicious of you."

No matter what, the feud between the Crown Princess and Prince Duan was settled.

If that's the case, how could he just sit there and wait for death while others sit on the mountain and watch the fight? If he doesn't have a good life, then no one else will have an easy life either.

"Yes, father, but I think this matter must be related to the Fourth Princess." Xiahou Zhiruo said with a face full of anger.

Among her mother's several princesses, only Xiahou Jiuyue was so scheming and cunning. This matter must have been done by her. The more she thought about it, the more hostility appeared in her eyes.

"It is closely related to Prince Chen, but don't forget, there is also a wise king who is eyeing you covetously." Speaking of Xiahou Nuanxi, a cold light flashed in Feng Jun's eyes.

Although he also felt that this matter was related to Prince Chen, he could not rule out the possibility of other people.

The more such things are obvious to everyone, the more likely they are to be tricks used by others.
