Chapter 164: The Devil-Like Man
phoenix eyes gradually became clear. She blinked in surprise.Perhaps the icy coldness of the frigid pool suppressed her overwhelming aphrodisiac poison, causing it to be inadvertently neutralized.Emm...As for this, Su Qingying was not surprised at all.
Next, the silver needle was inserted into another plate of vegetables. This time, when it was pulled out, the entire tip was black!
The jet-black needle shimmered in the flickering candlelight, radiating a chilling cold.
"Princess, how could this be" Xi'er was completely dumbfounded.
Su Qingying put away her silver needles and sneered, "It's just some petty tricks. You mixed the poison into different dishes, calculating the dosage carefully. Eating one dish alone won't cause poisoning, but if you eat incompatible dishes together, you'll be struck by a deadly toxin."
This poisoning method isn't too sophisticated, but it's hard to detect. Hmph, he couldn't wait to make his move as soon as he got back Just wondering, will it be Rong De Fei or Yan Fei
It seems like no one took her words to heart today!
"Such a wicked mind, truly despicable! Princess, should I tell the Emperor" Xi'er still felt a shiver of fear thinking about it now. If the princess hadn't noticed just now, if she had eaten this food, wouldn't she have harmed the princess
"Without evidence, would Father believe me Besides, I don't know who poisoned me. I don't want to startle the snake." Humph, she didn't want to take action, but they all wished for her death, so don't blame her for being ruthless!
"Go find someone trustworthy and ask them to get some appetizers from the Imperial Kitchen. " She hadn't eaten dinner yet, she needed to be full in order to deal with that white lotus bitch!
"This servant shall obey at once."
"Hmm."
……
Su Ziyi had stayed in the Imperial Study with Su Chengming since the afternoon, reporting in detail everything about Ximing and Su Qingying's changes until after midnight before leaving.
As he passed by the Imperial Garden, Su Ziyi suddenly saw a procession of imperial guards heading his way. He changed direction and took a different path to avoid any trouble.
"Your Highness, please wait." A venomous voice, soft as the dripping of water, came from behind him.
Upon hearing this voice, Su Ziyue's face was cast in a layer of gloom. He didn't want to pay attention, but there was no way out as Yan Fei had already caught up. "Lady Yanfei,"
The retinue of the Imperial Concubine stopped some distance away, so only he and she remained here. Seeing this, Su Ziyi's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.
Su Ziyi's tone was neither cold nor warm, even with a strong hint of disgust. Yan Fei's face froze for a moment, but she still smiled stiffly and greeted him, "Your Highness, this palace made some pastries here. They taste quite good. Would Your Highness like to try some"
"Noble Consort, please control yourself!" Su Ziyi recoiled in disgust, his heart filled with anger. This Noble Consort, who should rightfully belong to his father, constantly approached him, making him incredibly irritated!
"His Royal Highness." The beauty's eyes burned with intensity.
“If Lady Yanfei has nothing else to say, this palace will take its leave.” Having said that, Su Ziyue left in a grand stride without waiting for Lady Yanfei’s reply. It was past midnight, and they were alone together, male and female. If someone with ill intentions saw them, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
The beautiful concubine gazed after Su Ziyi's departing figure, her eyes filled with infatuation, resentment, and intense longing. She couldn't bear to look away until his figure vanished completely.
“My Lady, it’s time to leave.” After a long pause, until her personal maid Xiaoshui came over to remind her, Yianfei reluctantly turned her head.
"Come, let's go see the Emperor." Resuming her usual alluring charm, Yan Fei led her guards to Long Xiao Palace in Su Chengming.
Inside Longxi Palace, Su Chengming sat at his desk, gazing at the figure in the painting before him. A smile involuntarily curved the corners of his lips. "Ninger, Ying'er has finally shown her brilliance. She's just as excellent as you, but she doesn't have your gentleness. Oh, she's formidable."
Saying that, he let out a low chuckle and reached out to caress the woman's face in the painting. Every stroke of his finger was meticulously tracing the contours.
But the woman in the painting was strikingly beautiful, with an elegant and refined air. Her delicate face held a gentle smile, and her eyes, as soft as water, seemed to contain countless stars. She was breathtakingly beautiful, unlike any ordinary woman. What surprised everyone was that she looked exactly like Su Qingying!
"Your Majesty, Consort Yan has arrived." Little Lu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, this concubine personally made some snacks and specially brought them to you to try." Yan Fei waited respectfully outside the hall.
Su Chengming instantly withdrew his smile, "No need, I'm busy! Xiao Lüzi, send Yanfei back."
This was a heartless refusal. Su Chengming used to pamper Yan Fei, but her behavior in the main hall today chilled him to the bone. He didn't even want to see her.
"This servant obeys," Xiao Lüzi respectfully walked to the side of the beautiful concubine, "My lady, please."
"Your Majesty..." The beauty's face was very ugly. Tonight, the emperor actually didn't let her attend to him, that person wouldn't... Thinking of this, the beauty's blood drained away, leaving a terrifyingly pale complexion.
"Don't make me say it again, Yan Fei, you should know what kind of woman I like!" Su Chengming's angry voice was like a thunderbolt, extinguishing Yan Fei's last glimmer of hope.
Since Su Chengming had said it to this extent, Yan Fei could no longer stay. To linger would be a display of ignorance. She could only yield.
Back at Yanning Palace, looking at her dark and gloomy bedroom, the beauty's eyes were filled with fear, as if there was some kind of demon or beast inside.
"My lady, I shall take my leave. Please summon me if you require anything." Xiuer's eyes flickered as she shut the door to Yanning Palace, also pushing the palace maids aside at the entrance.
The room was pitch black. Yan Fei, trembling with fear, moved cautiously step by step toward the bed, praying silently that the demonic man would not appear.
"Ah!" A cry of surprise escaped her lips as something suddenly grabbed her arm, sending her tumbling uncontrollably towards the bed.
"What are you afraid of It's me." In the darkness, a man's voice entered the concubine's ear like a hellish summoning bell, reigniting fear in her eyes.
"No!" She landed heavily on the bed, pain making her tears well up. Instinctively, she tried to scramble up, but the man forcefully pinned her hands above her head with a strong grip.
"I heard you snuck out to meet Su Ziyue tonight How is it, could this prince not satisfy you Do you still need to find other men Hm" The man's hand gently slipped into her collar, softly kissing her hair with infinite tenderness, his voice teasing, with a hint of chilling coldness.
"Second Prince, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, I won't dare again, please, let me go…" The beauty trembled in terror, her eyes wide with fear. Compared to this man’s merciless cruelty, she feared his gentle gaze even more!
This man is simply a devil! No, he's even more terrifying than a devil. He can give you the most horrifying torment with the gentlest expression, especially when it comes to intimacy. He's downright depraved, often torturing her to the point of fainting. Even when she faints, he makes her wake up again, making her wish for death.
She shouldn't have messed with this devil in the first place!
This man is none other than the famous "sick" second prince, Su Huai Tian, of Dong Yue. He is the eldest brother of the third prince, sharing the same mother!ianyu caught the bloody dagger that flew out steadily, and furrowed his brows tightly. He said solemnly, “It’s centipedes! It seems Zhao Ruoqing has returned. Her target is Xuan Yuan Rongfei. Protect...
