Chapter 115 Fighting for Marriage
Live it!

Sang Qing inwardly grumbled.

After Li Yaoting fainted from the pain, Yun Wei went over to examine him.

After examining her, she understood what was going on. She wrote down a prescription and handed it to a eunuch, instructing him to fetch the medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy and prepare it.

Qingfeng followed behind.

After doing all that, Yunwei stopped caring.

After a long day of fussing, she was hungry and was about to go find something to eat when Sang Qing suddenly came over. "Princess, the master said that you must be hungry after a long day of work, so he asked me to take you to the imperial kitchen for some snacks."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei subconsciously looked in Rong Zhen's direction; he was indeed thoughtful and considerate.

When Rong Zhen saw her looking at him, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

Seeing this, Yunwei became suspicious.

What made him so happy?
Yun Wei pouted and followed Sang Qing.

Ouyang Kui squatted down beside the envoy, sweating profusely, because he still couldn't diagnose what kind of poison the envoy had been poisoned by. When he saw Yun Wei leave, he became even more anxious.

He considered himself a master of detoxification, believing there was no poison in the world he couldn't cure. But to his surprise, the poison the other party had used proved to be a challenge for him.

No, he can't lose this round!
When Yunwei returned after eating and drinking her fill, the eunuch also returned with the prepared medicinal soup, with Qingfeng following beside her.

Yunwei glanced at Qingfeng and quickly realized something.

The bird that suddenly flew in during the archery competition must have been deliberately sabotaged by someone.

Just then, the eunuch went to fetch and prepare the medicine, and Qingfeng followed closely behind. This was because he was afraid that someone would cause trouble again, so he followed to keep an eye on the eunuch.

Under Yunwei's guidance, the eunuch fed Li Yaoting the medicinal soup.

Li Yaoting woke up shortly afterward.

The pain from before had long since disappeared, and he stood up as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

Especially Ouyang Kui.

The poison was something he had made himself, and no one had been able to cure it before. Unexpectedly, the Princess of Rong'an County cured it without lifting a finger.

He was shocked and furious.

However, he had no time to think about these things anymore, because the envoy had also taken the medicine, but showed no signs of waking up.

He was completely silent, as if he were dead.

After waiting a while longer, seeing that the envoy still hadn't moved, Ouyang Kui, already impatient, could no longer hold back and questioned Yun Wei, "What kind of deadly poison did you use? Why hasn't he woken up even after taking the antidote?"

"Are you sure you've diagnosed what kind of poison he's been given? And that you've given him the antidote?" Yun Wei asked calmly.

Ouyang Kui choked for a moment, but still insisted, "Judging from the pulse and symptoms, the poison you gave him is called Green Grass. Those who are poisoned by this are like being asleep."

"Is it really Green Willow?" Yun Wei raised an eyebrow. "If so, why hasn't she woken up after being given the antidote?"

Before Ouyang Kui could say anything more, Yun Wei interrupted him, "Because he was poisoned not with Green Grass, but with Crane Intoxication."

"Crane Intoxication?" Ouyang Kui exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of poison is this? How come its symptoms are the same as Green Willow's?"

“They are not the same. Although both of these poisons will cause the person to fall into a coma, the symptoms of Green Willow will not cause the person to smell of alcohol,” Yun Wei retorted.

"The smell of alcohol?" Ouyang Kui was taken aback.

Yes, the envoy did have a faint smell of alcohol on him, but he didn't pay attention to it because he assumed the envoy had drunk alcohol in the palace earlier.

“Exactly. The symptoms of being poisoned by Crane's Intoxication are similar to those of Green Willow, but the difference is that the former has a faint smell of alcohol, while the latter does not,” Yun Wei explained.

Staring at her eyes peeking out from behind her veil, Ouyang Kui paused and asked, "Did you make this Crane Wine yourself?"

“Yes.” Yun Wei nodded.

Ouyang Kui suddenly laughed, "Alright, I'm willing to accept defeat. I lost this round." "Not just this round, you lost the previous one too," Yun Wei corrected.

Ouyang Kui's expression turned ugly.

Losing two games in a row means that he has lost today's match.

He took a deep breath. "Please, Princess Rong'an, hand over the antidote."

Yunwei glanced at him and tossed him a red pill.

Ouyang Kui took the medicine and fed it to the envoy.

The envoy awoke shortly afterward.

Seeing this, the master of ceremonies announced: "In this round, Princess Rong'an wins."

As soon as the official finished speaking, the Wei side burst into applause and loudly praised Yunwei.

At this point, the people of Wei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Their victory meant they no longer had to submit to the Yue Kingdom; instead, the Yue Kingdom had to sign a treaty promising never to invade the Wei Kingdom again.

Rong Xin, however, was not so happy.

He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to confront Rong Zhen, but unexpectedly, Yun Wei won.

"Someone, send the drafted contract to the Seventh Prince of the Moon Kingdom for his review," Rong Zhen ordered.

Immediately, someone brought the prepared contract and delivered it to Xuanyuan Ke.

Xuanyuan Ke glanced at the contents of the contract and said with a faint smile, "I will naturally sign this contract as I have made a bet. But before that, I would like to ask your country for a noble lady in marriage."

Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, "Which noble lady has the Seventh Prince taken a fancy to?"

Xuanyuan Ke paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room before finally settling on Yun Wei.

"I greatly admire Princess Rong'an's performance today. As you all know, my purpose in coming to Wei is not only to broaden my horizons but also to seek a wife from your country."

Princess Rong'an is precisely the woman I wish to marry.

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Rong Xue was the most impatient. "What nonsense are you spouting? Princess Rong'an has already been betrothed to the Regent by His Majesty. How can you ask for her hand in marriage?"

"It's just a marriage decree; the wedding hasn't taken place yet, has it?" Xuan Yuan Ke said dismissively.

Rong Xue was furious when she heard this. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose, trying to steal the spotlight from the Imperial Uncle.

He turned to Rong Zhen angrily, wishing he could have his uncle kill him.

Rong Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Xuan Yuan Ke calmly. His unfathomable eyes were terrifyingly calm. "Princess Rong An is the princess I want to marry. If the Seventh Prince wants to form a marriage alliance with Wei, he can look at other noble ladies from aristocratic families. I believe there will be a suitable candidate for the Seventh Prince."

“But this prince has only taken a liking to Princess Rong’an,” Xuan Yuan Ke said, meeting his gaze.

For a moment, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was feeling very uneasy.

Why did Prince Xuanyuan suddenly take a liking to Princess Rong'an?

Princess Rong'an has already been betrothed to the Regent. Isn't what he's doing a blatant provocation against the Regent?

"It's no use even if you take a liking to her; she's the one I've set my sights on," Rong Zhen said coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

Is Princess Rong'an the person the Regent has taken a liking to?

So, does this mean that the Regent had already taken a liking to Princess Rong'an before today?
Yun Wei glanced at Rong Zhen with a barely perceptible furrow of her brow.

Does he know what he's saying?
