My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 375 remains unaffected.
Lu Yaoyao was unaffected by what happened at the banquet, and continued to eat and drink as usual.

Su Zui, as if unaffected by the Purple Illusion Grass, had clear eyes and nimble hands and feet, continuing to serve food to Lu Yaoyao.

The king and queen dowager's eyes were only glazed over for a moment before they regained their senses.

The king glanced at the purple illusion grass with an ambiguous expression, his hand, hidden under his embroidered robe, clenched into a fist.

It turns out that Su Zui was right; they were all controlled by the Purple Illusion Grass.

The Empress Dowager pretended to be nonchalant and smiled happily, "Prince Qi is really thoughtful! The original Purple Illusion Grass died for some reason, and your Purple Illusion Grass is sent at just the right time."

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring over the Purple Illusion Grass, pretending to be very fond of it, but in reality, a turbulent storm was brewing beneath the surface.

You only realize how powerful the Purple Illusion Grass is once you hold it in your hand.

Fortunately, she had taken the pills that Su Zui had given her early on, otherwise she would have really been turned into a puppet by the Purple Illusion Grass.

Seeing how much the Empress Dowager and the King liked the Purple Illusion Grass, and how their eyes became dreamy, he knew the time was right.

The sixth princess stood up with a smile.

"Mother, I have served you faithfully all these years. I have worked hard for you, even if I have not made any great contributions. Shouldn't my brother grant me some title and a fiefdom?"

The sixth princess looked smug and glanced at the ministers whose eyes were drooping.

They're all useless; they've been drugged by the Purple Illusion Grass's intoxicating fragrance, and they won't wake up for a while.

They would all become so engrossed in their own illusions that they were unwilling to wake up.

When they woke up, the entire White Tiger Kingdom had been overrun by a different ruler!
For years, she was just a sixth princess without a title, a fief, or any real power. She wanted a title and a fief; she wanted to become an empress!
The Empress Dowager pretended to be controlled and said to the King, "That's true. Why don't you give Xiao Liu a title? It would be best to find him a wealthy fiefdom."

The king cooperated, grinning through gritted teeth, "Then let me bestow upon Xiao Liu the title of Princess Anping, with the fief of Xiangbei. I wonder if Xiao Liu is satisfied with my decision?"

Secretly, he wanted to grind his teeth in frustration. How could he not have seen through the Sixth Princess's wolfish ambition?

If Su Zui hadn't given him the pills so he was awake today, he would have truly fallen for her scheme.

The Sixth Princess was very satisfied and took out a blank imperial edict from the maid's hand. "In that case, Your Majesty, please write down the abdication edict! I really like Xiangbei."

Xiangbei is not far from Qi Wang's territory, and there are many gold mines there. Once she becomes empress, all of those things will be hers!
She would then have the King of Qi help her manage those gold mines.

King Qi didn't think that way. As he watched the king actually begin writing the abdication edict, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"I think the abdication edict should be written for me!"

King Qi waved his hand, and the two maids following behind the Sixth Princess took out soft swords and held them to her neck.

The sixth princess was greatly alarmed. "King Qi! Do you intend to rebel?"

The King of Qi placed the blank imperial edict before the king and said, "Write down the abdication to me, write it now!"

Looking at the still innocent-looking Sixth Princess, King Qi laughed heartily, abandoning his kind-hearted demeanor and revealing a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Sixth Princess, thank you for your support over the years. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have been able to take this position so easily. I could have become the ruler of the country without lifting a finger. Your mission is complete. You can die now!" King Qi's eyes were ruthless.

The Sixth Princess was incredulous. "Why? I've helped you so much all these years! I even went against the Empress Dowager for you! Why are you treating me like this? You're my biological father!" Back then, when she was adopted by the Empress Dowager, it was this Prince Qi who told her that her mother was killed by the Empress Dowager and that he was her biological father.

She was willing to do anything for him, just because he said he would make her empress and avenge her mother.

Why has it turned out this way?

After hearing this, the King of Qi laughed loudly, looking at her as if she were a fool. "You believe everything I say? I wouldn't even look at a lowly servant like your mother. You are indeed the son of the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager was not the murderer who killed your mother. Your mother died in childbirth, and you were raised by the Empress Dowager, yet you easily believed my words. How foolish!"

The King of Qi looked at her with a mocking expression.

This woman is really stupid. She believes everything he says and even helped him amass so much wealth. She was the one who helped him raise money for his private army.

He'd never seen such a stupid woman!
The sixth princess was incredulous; she wasn't actually the King of Qi's daughter?

Looking at the king and empress dowager, whose eyes were glazed over, she showed no remorse, but rather hatred.

She is the emperor's daughter, so why hasn't he given her a formal title or fiefdom all these years, and why is he even thinking of sending her away for a political marriage?

If she hadn't heard that the Empress Dowager wanted her to go to the Vermilion Bird Kingdom for a marriage alliance, she wouldn't have joined forces with the King of Qi to seize the throne so quickly!
They brought this on themselves!

"King Qi! Have you been using me to deliver the Purple Illusion Grass to the Empress Dowager all these years just for this day?"

The Sixth Princess couldn't shake the resentment in her heart when she thought about how everything she had done over the years had benefited Prince Qi.

why?
They are all the emperor's children, why should she live a life of dependence on others?

She thought that the King of Qi was her biological father and would help her ascend to the throne as empress, but in the end it turned out to be the King of Qi's conspiracy!
Her whole life was a joke!
King Qi gave a forced smile. "Of course! You're the best pawn! When I asked you to poison the King and the Queen Mother, didn't you agree very readily?"

"You were the one who went to great lengths to find this Purple Illusion Grass!"

"Back then, in order to create chaos on the border, I killed General Jiang, who was guarding the border. Once he was dead, I could take advantage of the chaos to quell the border rebellion and gain military merit to compete for the position of Crown Prince! Unexpectedly, Jiang Beichen appeared and quelled the border rebellion in no time. I had no choice but to join forces with Jiang Wanlin to kill Jiang Beichen!"

"I thought I could finally sit on this throne, but my father banished me from the capital before he died! I have no support anymore, and you yourself came to me wanting to cooperate with me!"

"I merely had a few people whisper some dubious words in your ear, and you actually believed that your mother was killed by the Empress Dowager! Who else is more stupid than you?"

Hahahaha!

King Qi laughed unrestrainedly, completely unaware that all the civil and military officials in the hall had clear and discerning eyes.

The Sixth Princess, oblivious to all this, was so enraged she had lost her temper. "You bastard! How dare you lie to me! I'll kill you!"

The King of Qi's smile vanished. "You don't have the chance! Kill him!"

King Qi waved his hand, and two maids' soft swords ruthlessly severed the Sixth Princess's neck.

The sixth princess stared wide-eyed, then collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grievances.

King Qi, lost in his fantasy of ascending the throne, grew impatient when he saw that the king hadn't yet written the abdication edict. "I told you to write the abdication edict! What are you doing? Hurry up and write it!"

King Qi was about to pat the king on the head, but the king grabbed his wrist.
