Chapter 178: Poisonous Gu

Chen, you're being too biased! I know you want to protect your brother, but you can't just let me take the blame because I'm a foreign princess! I'm just a weak woman!" A certain woman declared loudl...“……Get out of here!” The blue veins on the back of her hand throbbed violently. Su Qingying rolled her eyes impatiently, “By the way, how did you end up in Dongyue Imperial Palace I thought you were just a hallucination.”

“After returning to Beiling, I immediately began to arrange for the welcoming procession to Dongyue. I miss you so much that I couldn't wait any longer. I even had people build a replica of the glider you made overnight. If it weren't for the heavy rain a few days ago that damaged the glider, I could have seen you a few days earlier. Counting the days, the welcoming procession from Beiling should arrive on time within five days, if nothing unexpected happens.” Jun Liye put down the porridge in his hand and stared at her with burning eyes. In the depths of his blood-colored eyes, there was an endless tenderness.

Under his intense gaze, Su Qingying felt her heart pounding like thunder. All those days of longing were like a flood breaking its banks, rapidly spreading from her heart to her limbs and bones.

"Ari..." Su Qingying threw on a coat, leaped out of bed barefoot, and rushed into Jun Liye's arms.

Her little face buried in his broad chest, listening to the powerful beat of his heart, Su Qingying's eyes softened, "Ari, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you."

"Hm" Jun Li Ye's thin lips curled into a pleased arc.

"Ari, I miss you so much." After saying that, Su Qingying also rubbed her small head against his chest.

"Silly girl." He lowered his head and kissed her hair gently, the tenderness in Jun Liye's eyes almost overflowing.

"Damn it! Jun Liye, what are your wolf claws touching" The warm and loving atmosphere vanished in an instant, Su Qingying's temples throbbed with anger.

That bastard! Still lustful as ever!

"My wife threw herself into my arms, how could I possibly remain calm" A certain devilishly charming man said with utmost seriousness.

Su Qingying gasped, "How come you don't learn from Liu Xia Hui who sat calmly under the willow tree"

A certain demonic figure argued, "Yinger, the reason he's able to remain composed is because he's incapable. If I were to remain composed, you would be the one crying."

"Damn! You're so right, she has no words to refute!"

"Ying'er, since it's still early, why don't we relive it again" The warm breath intentionally sprayed onto Su Qingying's fair and tender earlobe, successfully causing her delicate body to tremble.

"No, I haven't eaten yet!" Su Qingying pointed at the food on the table and looked at him pitifully.

Upon hearing this, Jun Li's night-dark lips curled into a smirk as he said meaningfully, "This king will personally feed you."

"Damn it!"

Junli Ye this lass is definitely a veteran!

Here, the clouds churned and rain poured down, waves crashing against the shore. At the same time, outside the inner courtyard of Chaoyang Palace...

"That's wonderful, Princess finally gets to see the Regent King! The princess must be over the moon." Xi'er sat on the white jade steps, cupping her cheeks with a cute smile, truly happy for them.

"Hmm." Mo Xuan stood before Xi'er, holding his long sword. A distinct smile crossed his usually icy face.

“Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan, do you know I just went to deliver food to the princess and saw that she was still asleep. You said that His Royal Highness the Regent was so intense, will they soon have a little baby” Xi’er had an excited face, even imagining their fierce battle in her mind, that pink bubble look made Mo Xuan's head full of black lines.

"I..." Mo Xuan's ears turned slightly red.

Of course there's a master for every servant! They are all the same... despicable!

"Oh my, the baby of Princess and Regent Prince! Just thinking about it gets me so excited. They're both so beautiful, their little one must be amazing too! I can't wait!"

"...."

"Mo Xuan, you said I should go and make some clothes for the princess's little baby right now" Yu'er got more and more excited, looking just like a grandmother eagerly awaiting her granddaughter.

At this, Mo Hyun was speechless. "Xi'er, your thoughts are too far-reaching," he said.

"It's not too far off, what if their little one pops out someday Maybe it's best to prepare in advance."

“……” Mo Xuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, speechless.

Still popping out, do you think you're a monkey!

"Nevermind, I'm not going to tell you, you wouldn't understand anyway. I'm going to make clothes for the princess's little baby now, goodbye."

As the sun set, Mo Xuan watched as Xi Er left. Unlike his usual habit of following her, he turned and walked in the opposite direction towards the palace gates.

This morning he received the master's order: Su Huantian must be castrated!

……

It was night, with a bright moon and few stars. All things on earth were asleep, everything was silent and peaceful.

The capital city of Dongyue Kingdom, at a guest house.

"I don't want to be an eunuch! I don't! Ah!" A man was suddenly awakened from his sleep, he immediately rolled over and sat up, gasping for breath, cold sweat soaking his hair, sticky on his face.

"Second Prince, you're awake" A soft and indifferent female voice drifted in, and Su Huitian only then realized there was a woman sitting in his room at some point.

The woman was dressed in white, her face veiled by a light gauze. She had a graceful figure and an outstanding temperament. She was indeed a rare beauty.

Su Huai Tian usually loved beautiful women, but the constant pain coming from his lower body left him with no interest in that aspect.

"Who are you" Su Huai Tian looked around warily.

The woman in white stared at him calmly, not answering his question but asking one of her own: "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I can help you regain the position that rightfully belongs to you. Wouldn't the Second Prince be willing to give up such an easy throne"

"Just you Help me Humph, overreaching! Why should I believe you, a mere mortal" Su Huantian's face was filled with disdain, clearly not believing the white-clothed woman had the ability.

As for this, the woman in white didn't get angry. She smiled and said slowly, "Has the Second Prince ever heard of the venomous insects from Nanjiang"

Su Huantian was startled, his face changing color instantly, "Nanjiang Poisonous Gu worms"

"Good, just plant such a cute worm on the old emperor, and you'll have the world of Dongyue under your control." The woman in white extended a slender hand, and on her long fingers lay a strange red worm that was quietly resting there. Su Huai Tian felt a shiver run down his spine.

Su Huai Tian uncomfortably shifted his gaze, “Hmph, you speak so easily. The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded. Now that this prince has been demoted to a commoner, how could he possibly place this worm into that old geezer”

"Second Prince, this method was provided by me. Whether or not it can be done is none of our concern. This is your only way to regain the throne right now. If you truly have the heart, wouldn't you be able to do it" Playing with the crimson worm wriggling on her fingertip, the woman in white smiled ambiguously.

Upon hearing this, Su Huai Tian fell silent. He couldn't deny that he was very tempted by her suggestion, but...

"Who are you Why go to such lengths to help me seize the throne" After a long silence, Su Huantian spoke again, clearly unconvinced by her identity.

Well, not bad. You've got some brains after all.

A flash of mockery crossed the woman in white’s eyes. She spoke softly, "To be frank, we were once loyal servants to Empress Hui. Her last wish was for the second prince to ascend the throne. Now that the second prince has been demoted to commoner status, how could we just stand by and do nothing"sitation, Mo Xuan spoke in a low voice under Jun Li Ye's eager gaze, recounting Su Qing Ying's words from the previous day. "She said, 'What got into Jun Li Ye Did he get hit on the head or something'...
