"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 204 Slitting the Tyrant's Wrist to Feed Him Blood
The persistent man raised his head, a half-smile playing on his handsome face, and spoke with his usual ruthless and deadly edge:

"What right does a defeated opponent have to bark like a dog in front of this prince?"

The princess of Nanyue glared angrily: "You..."

However, the sound stopped abruptly as soon as it was uttered.

The guard drew his long sword and placed it directly against her slender neck. The man's handsome face wore a malicious and cold smile: "Say one more word, and I'll kill you, Muddy."

The banquet fell into an eerie silence at that moment.

Chu Jiang tilted his head slightly, glancing over the many surprised, angry, and shocked faces around him, his attitude extremely arrogant: "Does anyone else want to speak?"

The envoy from Nanyue had something to say, but his princess's head was still in someone else's hands.

If you have anything, hold it in!

Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Jiang casually tossed his longsword aside and gave a perfunctory bow to the emperor on the main seat: "Your subject finds some people too annoying, so I will take my leave first."

The emperor's expression was complicated, but he nodded: "Go then."

Nan Yaoxian had calmed down and was about to say something when she saw the Crown Prince, who hadn't said much throughout, stand up: "My seventh brother is young and impetuous, and has been impolite. I apologize to everyone on his behalf."

The crown prince spoke, and the other ministers echoed his sentiments.

The matter of Chu Jiang drawing his sword at a foreign princess's banquet was thus glossed over lightly.

Nan Yaoxian stared intently at the man's tall and straight back, her gaze burning as if she wanted to bore a hole through him.

Unfortunately, the other party remained relaxed and composed, showing no signs of poisoning whatsoever.

She frowned, a rare hint of doubt creeping into her eyes: Could it be that it wasn't on him?

No, how could he have survived if he hadn't?
-
The man she suspected had just stepped out of the moon gate and out of everyone's sight when he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of black blood and collapsed forward uncontrollably.

Ye Fan's expression changed: "Quickly, take His Highness back!"
-
Qin Su came out when she heard the commotion and saw the tyrant being helped back unconscious.

To his right was a strange little eunuch she had never seen before.

His face was unremarkable, but his eyes revealed undisguised concern and anxiety.

Even when she saw her, the other person only glanced at her and said to Ye Fan, "Give me a room, I'll suppress the poison for him." Her tone was worried but steady, with a hint of authority.

Ye Fan didn't waste any time: "Come with me."

Qin Su stood to the side, feeling like she couldn't fit into the atmosphere between them.
-
By the time Ye Fan and his companion brought Chu Jiang into the room, he was already completely unconscious.

However, he was still spitting out blood, and soon the ferocious beast pattern on his chest seemed to be stained red with blood.

"Go and urge the imperial physician to close the gates of the East Palace and forbid anyone from entering or leaving..."

While instructing his men to suppress the news, Ye Fan told the palace maids to prepare hot water and then asked, "What should we do?"

As soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Feixian holding a dagger that appeared out of nowhere. The cold, sharp blade slashed at his snow-white wrist—and deep red blood flowed out.

Ye Fan froze on the spot until the girl frowned and urged him, "Help me pry open his mouth."

They were actually preparing to feed her blood to His Highness!
This is the scene that Qin Su saw when she entered—

A slender, snow-white wrist hung on the tyrant's lips, and deep red blood gushed down.

The person who made the move remained expressionless, as if it weren't her blood that was flowing. Suddenly, Yu Feixian seemed to sense something, turned her head, and met Qin Su's eyes.

In that glance they exchanged, an undercurrent flowed between them, a tension only rivals could comprehend…
-
The situation was urgent, and Yu Feixian was worried that the concubine would waste precious time rescuing people because of jealousy, so she had to explain:
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. His Highness was once poisoned with a very potent poison, and it was only by taking the Gu Mother that the poison was suppressed. But this time, someone has mixed the Gu Soul Incense into the elephant's blood. The Gu Mother will fall asleep when she smells it, and the poison in his body will relapse once it is no longer suppressed."

"My blood has detoxifying properties, and I'm doing this to save him..."

Qin Su nodded gently: "I understand, please continue, young lady."

Seeing that Qin Su believed her explanation so easily, Yu Feixian neither argued nor fought, nor said anything strange.

Although her wish had been fulfilled, for some reason, she still felt a slight regret in her heart.

She didn't want to think about it too much, so she forced herself not to.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived and asked all bystanders to leave.

Qin Su followed and left.

With the imperial physician administering acupuncture, Yu Feixian could temporarily refrain from bloodletting.

She turned her head slightly and saw the girl leaving. After watching for a while, she turned her gaze to the face of the unconscious man.

Is this the woman you like?

But she doesn't seem that worried about you.
-
The system started humming as soon as it stepped outside: "What kind of poison is so amazing? 100 points for an antidote pill, and if that doesn't work, a full blood transfusion. What kind of Gu Mother? A laser surgery will take care of it… What's there to brag about? It's just bloodletting, what's so special about that? My host can even make him live to be a hundred, okay?"

After saying that, it quickly comforted Qin Su: "Host, don't be discouraged, the system will always be on your side..."

Before the system could finish speaking, a man's painful roar came from behind the palace doors, which were not yet fully closed.

Qin Su paused, almost instinctively wanting to turn back, but before she could take a step, an arm blocked her way:
"His Highness has ordered that Your Highness should avoid the area where Miss Yu is."

The system instantly exploded: [What the heck?! What's going on?!]

The palace servants nearby also heard this and couldn't help but look over in surprise. Before their master could react, they quickly left.

Qin Su was also stunned for a moment before slowly retracting the step she had already taken: "Okay."
-
The system reassured its host: "Don't worry, host. The male lead is completely clueless about romance and won't fall in love with another woman!"

Qin Su didn't speak.

They waited until nightfall, but still received no news of the tyrant waking up. Instead, when the maidservant who served him returned, her expression was very unpleasant.

Only after asking did I learn that the concubine was not allowed to go to see His Highness, but many gifts were sent to the one in Linhua Palace.

The palace servants whispered among themselves: "The concubine has been in the palace for many days but has not been favored. Now that a new concubine has entered, could she be about to fall out of favor?"

The young palace maid, Chunyu, naturally didn't believe this, but she was still a little worried. She tentatively asked, "Your Highness, should we send some tea and snacks over to check on the situation?"

Qin Su placed a chess piece in her hand: "Okay."

Chunyu instantly perked up: "That's great! His Highness will be so happy when he wakes up."

Happy?

not at all.

Qin Su was stopped by the eunuch at the door before she could even step out of the room.

It seems she's been placed under house arrest?
