Chapter 84: Collusion (1)
The face flashed by so quickly that he didn't have time to take a second look.
Xuan Ye felt a little relieved when he saw that Hades finally fell silent. He wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the Eight Desolate Divine Beasts, but facing Hades with such a gloomy expression, he couldn't ask at all.
Phoenix Dances Over the Mountains
The Imperial Academy had been suspended for several days because of the murder of Duanmu Xue, and Wei Ning was happy to be free. In the Prince's Palace, apart from cultivating her spiritual power, she was also tinkering with the bottles and jars she had bought.
After what happened last time, Lu'e became much more obedient. In the Prince's Palace, unless Wei Ning asked her directly, she would never dare to say a word.
After breakfast that day, Wei Ning went out to the courtyard to get some fresh air. Zheng Tianbao came over smartly and asked, "Your Highness, how about I accompany you to the Imperial Garden to relieve your boredom?"
"Princess Zi Yao likes to practice sword in the Imperial Garden. I don't want to meet her, so I won't go." Wei Ning said lightly.
The Regent would occasionally pass through the Imperial Garden to see the Emperor, so Mu Ziyao would go to the Imperial Garden to practice sword every morning. Everyone in the palace knew this.
In the past, when the prince was ignorant and ran to the Imperial Garden, he was scolded and beaten by Mu Ziyao several times.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Princess Ziyao hasn't been to the Imperial Garden recently." Zheng Tianbao said cleverly, "Your Highness probably doesn't know that the Fourth Prince gathered many experts to go to the Canglong Mountains a few days ago, hoping to capture a Qingfeng Beast. As a result, they were injured by the Qingfeng Beast. They were seriously injured, and even Qilin blood was used, but it didn't work. Princess Ziyao was busy taking care of the Fourth Prince, so she didn't go to the Imperial Garden."
"Oh?" Wei Ning became interested. It seemed that the medicine she had given was indeed very effective. Of course, the Qilin blood was useless. It was impossible for it to be useful after she had given it such a highly corrosive poison!
Seeing that she was interested, Zheng Tianbao immediately started talking nonstop.
"The Fourth Prince was eager to win the credit and curry favor with the Regent, but who would have thought that he would end up like this? I heard that the Regent was furious not long ago and reprimanded the Fourth Prince for this!"
Thinking of how frightened and discouraged Mu Tianhua, who wanted to imitate the Regent in everything and wanted to kneel down and lick the Regent's shoes, would be when he was scolded by his super idol, Wei Ning couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"In that case, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will lead the way." Zheng Tianbao hurried forward.
Royal Garden
"Royal brother, please don't be angry. The angrier you are, the harder it will be for your injuries to heal." Mu Ziyao said impatiently.
"Ahem, shut up!" As soon as Mu Tianhua opened his mouth, the wound on his body began to hurt. He grimaced in pain, but he still refused to let go of his mouth. "It's all your fault. You bought some Qilin blood. I think you want to hurt me on purpose!"
When Mu Ziyao heard this, her pretty face turned red and she felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
"Brother, I've devoted myself to you. How can you say that? I even begged those lowly people for Qilin blood!"
"Hmph!" Mu Tianhua just couldn't get rid of his anger. Ever since he applied the Qilin blood that she bought, the wounds on his body not only did not heal, but instead slowly festered, causing him excruciating pain. The imperial physician tried every possible way but was helpless and could only say that he was poisoned.
She was the one who bought the Qilin blood and she was the only one who handled it. If anything went wrong, she could only be blamed!
