Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Chapter 398 Seeking power and usurping the throne

At this moment, Zhenhao, who was in the dark, appeared in the room.

"Prince, how can you take pills carelessly? What if it's..." Zhenhao wanted to say what if it's poison? But then he changed his mind and said, "What if the prince gets a stomachache?"

"Zhenhao, you have to believe in Xiaojiu, she is very powerful."

Prince Zhen said nonchalantly, then swallowed the pill in one gulp. Zhen Hao's heart tightened and he had no time to stop him.

At this moment, Prince Zhen's eyes widened instantly, one hand kept pinching his throat, and the other hand suddenly stretched out in the direction of Zhen Hao.

Seeing the prince's face flushed red, Zhenhao's heart sank. This pill is poisonous!

"Don't run, Prince. I'm here to save you." Zhen Hao said as he was about to come in front of Prince Zhen and help him take out the pill, but was pushed away by Prince Zhen.

Prince Zhen quickly picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down.

"Prince, is the pill poisonous? How do you feel now?"

Zhenhao stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"Zhen Hao, your sister's poison!" Prince Zhen said after taking a breath.

"Prince, what happened just now..."

"The pill is too big and it's stuck in my throat."

Zhenhao:······

So when the prince reached out his hand to him just now, he was not asking for help, but he was blocking him from taking the tea on the table?

Prince Zhen continued to lie on the soft couch, looking at his hands in confusion, wondering why there was no change at all.

"Prince, are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Perhaps seeing what Prince Zhen was thinking, Zhen Hao stepped forward to comfort him, "Prince, perhaps the elixir refined by the princess is not suitable for you..."

"But don't worry, Prince. There will always be a way to lose weight."

Prince Zhen frowned. Not suitable for him? But Xiaojiu clearly said that this pill is suitable for him. This is strange.

Could it be that I should take two pills together?

A pill identical to the one he had just taken appeared in Prince Zhen's hand. Zhen Hao's mouth twitched slightly. Could it be that the prince wanted to eat it again?

Prince Zhen thought about how hard it was to swallow the pill just now, and couldn't help but tremble, "Forget it, forget it, I'll keep this one for now."

Zhenhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the night, Zhen Yuan felt hungry and ran to the toilet without thinking.

After feeling comfortable, he went back to bed in a daze and went to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Zhenyuan was not awakened by the noise, but by a foul stench.

"Zhenhao! Zhenhao!"

"What's that stinking thing outside? Are you trying to suffocate me to death so early in the morning?"

Zhenhao appeared in the room in an instant. The stench in the room made Zhenhao feel nauseous. He glanced at Zhenyuan who was lifting the quilt and preparing to get up, and suddenly forgot about vomiting.

Prince Zhen on the bed looked like a demon had sucked his essence away. He had lost a lot of weight, and his nightgown hung loosely on his body.

"Prince...you you you~"

It was not time to get up yet, but Prince Zhen was still a little sleepy. He half-closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Zhenhao, I asked you to look at what's so smelly outside. Why are you still standing there in a daze?"

"The prince stinks. It seems to be coming from you..."

Prince Zhen lowered his head and was instantly awake. What was going on? Why was he so dirty? And why did his clothes get bigger?

"Ugh~ vomit~"

Before Prince Zhen could react, he quickly leaned against the wall and vomited, "Zhen Hao, why are you still standing there? Quickly get someone to drain the water. This prince wants to take a bath."

Zhenhao came back to his senses and quickly gave orders to his servants.

-

After a while, Zhen Yuan walked out of the bathroom in a daze, looking at the loose clothes on his body, as if he was dreaming.

Xiaojiu didn't lie to him, he really lost weight!

At this moment, he instantly understood why Xiaojiu told him not to take the pill outside yesterday. When he returned to the room, the room had been cleaned by the servants and the original stench had disappeared.

Zhen Yuan's sudden appearance gave Zhen Hao and the servants a big fright.

"Sir!"

Prince Zhen came in front of Zhenhao and pinched his face. Zhenhao growled in pain.

“It turns out this is not a dream…”

"Prince, this is certainly not a dream. My face is swollen from being pinched by you." Zhen Hao cursed in his heart several times, and then placed a mirror in front of Zhen Yuan.

Zhen Yuan clearly saw his current appearance. His originally round face had shrunk a lot. Zhen Yuan was so happy that his eyebrows were about to fly up. He was indeed a handsome man.

"You guys go up and help the prince measure his size, and quickly make him a few sets of clothes that fit him." As soon as Zhenhao finished speaking, several servants surrounded Zhenyuan and took the measurements in a short while.

Prince Zhen remembered the agreement he made with Wen Longting yesterday, so he wanted to get up and go to the Wen Mansion to tell her the news.

Zhenhao quickly stepped forward to stop him, "My Lord, this robe you are wearing doesn't fit you well. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go out."

Prince Zhen paused, as if it made sense.

The sun slowly rose. Princess Mingyang heard that Prince Zhen had cleaned out everything in the room early in the morning and wanted to make some suitable clothes, so she hurried over.

She had just asked the servants to make him a few sets of clothes a few days ago, so how come he couldn't wear them now?

"Yuan'er, you're so early in the morning..."

Princess Mingyang looked at Zhenyuan who was sitting in the yard eating fruit and her jaw dropped to the ground in shock.

"you you you you······"

Princess Mingyang couldn't even speak anymore.

"Mother, you are not mistaken, I have lost weight."

Zhen Yuan looked at Princess Mingyang's reaction with satisfaction and said with a smile that it took him a long time to digest this matter.

But seeing Princess Mingyang's reaction, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. He wondered if Xiaoting would also be scared when she saw him like this. Suddenly he began to feel a little excited.

"Yuan'er, you are really thin. What's going on?"

Princess Mingyang looked at Zhenyuan in disbelief. He was clearly the same yesterday... How could he change overnight...

Prince Zhen told Princess Mingyang about the elixir that Ji Jiuying had given him and what happened last night. Princess Mingyang was secretly surprised. This princess was really no ordinary person. She could even refine such a miraculous elixir and gave it to Yuan'er.

Princess Mingyang frowned slightly as she thought of something. "Yuan'er, why did Princess Anping suddenly give you the elixir?"

"Maybe it's because... because I am Xiaoting's friend, and Xiaoting is good friends with her..."

"Yuan'er, you are lying to your mother again." Princess Mingyang saw that his eyes were dodging and he didn't dare to look at her when he spoke, so she knew that Zhenyuan was lying.

"Oh, mother, this is a deal between Xiaojiu and I. I promised her not to tell anyone. Please don't ask me anymore."

Seeing that he was insistent, Princess Mingyang stopped asking questions. The child had grown up and he should know the limits of certain things.

After Prince Mingyang returned from court, he heard the servants' discussions and hurried over. When he saw that Zhenyuan had lost weight, his reaction was similar to that of Princess Mingyang.

He even threatened to bring Zhen Yuan to thank him in person, but was stopped by Zhen Yuan, "Father, this is not appropriate. I have already thanked her, and this is a deal between us. It is not convenient to mobilize a large number of troops. This elixir is made by her unique method. If this matter gets out, I am afraid it will put her in the spotlight..."

Prince Mingyang then realized that what Zhenyuan said made sense. The divine dragon weapon and the twin lotus flowers in her hands were being watched by countless people. If the miraculous elixir was revealed, it would probably cause her a lot of trouble.

At this time, Princess Mingyang saw that the worry between Prince Mingyang's brows had not diminished, so she asked, "Prince, what happened in the palace?"

Prince Mingyang sighed softly, "Something happened to the Third Prince."

The Liang family had been kind to him, and the Third Prince was his uncle and nephew. After the Liang family was destroyed, he secretly helped him several times, just wanting to keep him safe, but he failed Lee's expectations of him time and time again.

Prince Mingyang couldn't help but think of what Jun Linyu said to him a few days ago. Guessing what he wanted to do, Prince Mingyang tried to persuade him again, but he still insisted on his own way, and now he ended up like this.

"Didn't the Third Prince just return to Kyoto? What happened?"

"He's dead! He colluded with foreign forces to seize power and usurp the throne... He was executed by the emperor."

Princess Mingyang and Prince Zhen were both stunned. If it was a conspiracy to usurp the throne, how come they didn't receive any news at all?

This matter may not be as the palace said, but who would care? Who would dare to offend the emperor for Jun Linyu?

A few days after the Third Prince Jun Linyu returned to Kyoto, news spread that he had colluded with foreign parties to usurp the throne and was executed, causing a lot of sighs.

The imperial family has always been ruthless.

Feng Che remained expressionless after hearing the news, while Feng Wu, who was sitting opposite him, was furious.

"Why did you guys kill that piece of shit Jun Linyu so quickly? I haven't helped Jiuer vent her anger yet!"

Feng Che patted Feng Wu's shoulder and said, "Fifth brother, Jiu'er is in seclusion now, and since you are out of seclusion, why don't you go back to Tianyu Continent and check some things first."

Feng Wu immediately understood, "Second brother, are you trying to talk about the Soul Locking Needle?"

Feng Che nodded, "This matter concerns the Feng family and Xiaojiu's life. I always feel that the person who gave the needle is a little strange."

"Fifth brother, I'll leave this matter to you. Also, Jiu'er will go to the Heavenly Realm in the near future, so you should make some preparations in advance."

Feng Wu nodded after hearing this. "Okay, leave this to me. But second brother, didn't you say that father and the others were also investigating the Soul Locking Needle? Why do you want me to investigate it?"

Feng Che narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid the Feng family will harm Jiuer... We must make a plan to protect both sides."

Feng Wu nodded, and then returned to the Tianyu Continent.

Ever since the news of Jun Linyu's attempt to usurp the throne came out, Jun Lintian knew the positions of his father and mother. Although he knew about the conspiracy between Jun Linyu and the Crown Prince of Western Jin, he had no evidence.

Thinking that the day of marrying the second princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was getting closer, Jun Lintian was always depressed.

Once Jun Linyu died, the marriage would fall on him again.

How about letting the Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty find a man from an official family? As soon as the idea came up, Jun Lintian shook his head. No, no.

Thinking of something, Jun Lintian changed into night clothes, left the palace, and soon arrived at the post station.

Ever since the Third Prince's affair was exposed, the Crown Prince of Western Jin left on the pretext that the Emperor of Western Jin was seriously ill. The Second Prince of Western Jin was simple-minded and had never been involved in court affairs. He didn't care about these matters at all, not to mention that he was in the Princess's Mansion at the time.

In the post station, there were only some envoys from the Western Jin Dynasty and the second princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.

"who."

When Murong Ning heard the sound, he quickly drew his sword and looked towards the window defensively.

A dark shadow came in. Murong Ning's heart sank. Without saying a word, he waved the sword in his hand and rushed forward.

Jun Lintian looked at the oncoming sword and gathered spiritual power in his hand to control the sword. Murong Ning's expression turned cold, he drew back the sword and attacked again. Seeing this, Jun Lintian frowned and spoke quickly.

"Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, wait... wait a minute, I am..."

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Murong Ning was slightly stunned, but the sword in his hand did not stop.

"Who are you, Princess? You are a pervert if you enter my room at night."

Jun Lintian was speechless for a moment. He came here just to find out the truth, but he forgot that she was a woman!

Seeing that Murong Ning's moves were more ruthless than the last and he didn't give him any chance to speak, and Jun Lintian exuding the pressure of a Spirit King, Murong Ning's eyes widened, and for a moment he was distracted, the sword in his hand fell into Jun Lintian's hands.

"you······"

"So what if you're the Spirit King? Lecher, return the sword to this princess!"

Jun Lintian threw the sword in his hand over and took off his mask. "Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, this prince did not mean to break in. This prince came here because..."

"Jun Lintian, it's you again!"

Murong Ning reacted after hearing this and was immediately furious. Last time he rudely threw her into the haystack and she hadn't yet settled the score with him, but now he actually dared to break into her boudoir in the middle of the night.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, why are you here with me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Murong Ning asked unhappily.

"This prince has something to ask you now. It concerns you and the friendship between our two countries."

Jun Lintian spoke straight to the point.

Murong Ning lowered her eyes, and recalled the time when the Third Prince had secretly come to see his royal brother. Although she didn't know what they were plotting, when news of the Third Prince's rebellion broke out today and her royal brother suddenly abandoned her and left Cang Yue, she had roughly sensed the connection.

After the defeat of Galan in the Western Jin Dynasty, the third sister was sent to marry a foreign princess. However, there was no need for a princess to marry between them and Cangyue. However, the royal brother still mentioned this matter to his father.

Now the only man she could marry is dead, and her royal brother has abandoned her and returned to the Western Jin Dynasty. She now seems like a joke.

You can't let her become the emperor's concubine, Murong Ning felt disheartened when thinking of this.

"go ahead."

Murong Ning spoke, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"How much do you know about Jun Linyu and your brother?"

While Jun Lintian was speaking, he stared at Murong Ning, not missing a single emotion in her eyes, but he was disappointed. Besides endless loneliness, there was also a little helplessness in her eyes.

"I don't know anything, but the Third Prince did come to see my brother a few days ago."

"Besides that, has Jun Linyu ever appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty?"

"I don't know, Jun Lintian, this princess is not your prisoner, don't look at me with such scrutinizing eyes!"

(I wish you all a happy new year and all the best.)
