  "The princess is awake? Let's take advantage of the heat and drink the medicine first."

  The sound of Xunyun's voice quietly echoed, and the familiar scenery in the He Fengxuan bedroom was within sight. The house was very quiet, with only Xunyun alone, and she was wearing mourning clothes.

  "The medicine was brewed by Lian Luo's young lady, and she and Mr. Chun have been guarding it until just now when the medicine was finally ready, and after confirming that the princess was fine, they left for the quiet room, I heard that Mr. Su went out of the pass today." Xun Yun said calmly while helping me sit up.

  Perhaps noticing that my gaze had been fixed on her mourning attire, she expressionlessly lowered her eyes: "The Emperor has passed away, Your Highness must stay in the palace to guard the spirit for fifteen days according to custom."

  Her words were calm enough, but I saw that in the moment she lowered her eyes, hatred was clearly revealed in them.

  "The princess should drink the medicine first, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

  She handed me the medicine bowl, and I took it. I had already given up, but when the dark medicine just entered my mouth, I still couldn't help but smile slightly, put down the medicine bowl, looked at Xun Yun and said lightly: "Gui Xin San, I want to know when you started hating me so much?"

  Her eyes flashed with shock for a moment, then she smiled and calmly said: "The princess indeed knows, so why ask me such questions. If there was no 'Gui Xin San', 'Qian Ri Zui Lan' would not harm anyone. In fact, when Xun Yun asked Sang Niang for this medicine that day, it was only to be prepared for any eventuality. I had hoped that I would never have to use the 'Gui Xin San' to induce toxicity one day, but now, rather than letting you hurt him like this, it's better to end the pain quickly. Just as we could overcome the difficulties of the past, we can do so again today. Even if I will never be able to love anyone else in this lifetime, it is still better than his current suffering... I really want to ask, what is the princess's heart made of? He has been like that for you, yet you have never seen it? Such a proud person, and now..."

  I quietly interrupted her: "I never knew I was poisoned again, when did it happen?"

  She hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a light tone: "Perhaps I've never told you, Wang Fei, but your eyes resemble someone - the former Princess Yu Hook. You must know about her and the prince's past, so I don't need to explain much. When the prince was injured that time, he refused to let me invite Dr. Chun, instead asking me to find you at Gui Mo Pavilion. Although time was pressing, it showed that he had already accepted you in his heart. It wasn't until the next day that I heard about the 'Surprise Swan' melody played on the qin at Qing He Hall... perhaps from then on, I thought of using 'Thousand Days Drunken Orchid' on you. In the bowl of 'Four Joys Soup' after your wedding night, because I knew that if one day something went wrong between you and the prince, you might have the ability to hurt him badly - just like now... after all, you are a daughter of the Murong family."

  "She suddenly looked gloomy: 'Perhaps my "returning heart" was used too late, but seeing him treat you like that, I always thought you would have a good day together. It's just me thinking too much, anyway, since your heart is made of iron, the prince's heart shouldn't hold private feelings either.'"

  I shook my head: "I'm not asking you about the past, since in Mo Bei, the 'Thousand Days Drunken Orchid' in my body has been solved, but Miss still brought me 'Return Heart Powder' now. That must be after I came back and got it again. However, since I came back, my food and drink have been strictly controlled by others, not just Shu Ying, even I myself was paying attention, but I still didn't notice that Miss got it again. When did you get it?"

  "What? You said the 'Thousand Days Drunken Orchid' has been solved? No wonder, no wonder you used the word 'again' just now..." Xun Yun's face shook, and then he smiled miserably: "Your Highness only said that you were poisoned, and asked us to find the traitor as soon as possible. Even if it was in front of us, he never said that the poison in your body had been solved... He treated you like this, but what about you? What did you give him? Besides hurt and pain, besides resentment, what did you ever give him?"

  I lowered my eyes and didn't speak, while Xun Yun's gaze suddenly deepened. Now, how much resentment and determination was in her words? She looked at me, word by word: "Since the princess has the guts to make a scene like that in Qinghe Hall, have you decided not to live anymore? If so, why not die cleanly? I don't care if you're really Princess Yuhuan or just pretending. Take advantage of the fact that the emperor is not here now... dagger, white silk, 'Thousand Days Drunken Orchid', or something else? The princess can choose one herself..."

  "Seeking Clouds!"

  Before I could speak, a loud shout came from outside the door, and a man with a stern expression walked in.

  Xun Yun's expression changed slightly, and her face fell for a moment before she lifted it again with a stubborn look.

  "No wonder you wanted to get rid of the servants, if I hadn't coincidentally met Hua Yi and asked him a few questions, feeling strange, I wouldn't have come over to take a look. You don't know what kind of trouble you're getting into!" Tai An's voice softened: "I've watched you grow up since you were little, you've never been a foolish child, what's gotten into you today? Hurry up and kneel down for the Crown Princess!"

  "Crown Princess?" Xun Yun sneered: "General Manager Tai, are you still planning to choose a day to call her 'Empress Dowager', but unfortunately all of this is not what others want, it's all just us being mutually affectionate..."

  She hadn't finished speaking when "slap" - a loud, heavy slap landed on her face from Tai An. The force was so great that half of her face quickly swelled up.

  I trembled slightly, but ultimately just lowered my voice. In such a situation, I was very clear that no matter what I said, it would only add fuel to the fire.

  So I can only quietly watch Xun Yun slowly reach out to tidy up her disheveled hair, but she doesn't bother to wipe away the palm print on her face. She looks at Tai An with tears streaming down: "Tai Gong Zhuang, you might as well kill me, otherwise, I absolutely cannot let her hurt Dian Xia like this again, I cannot watch Dian Xia be ruined... Tai Shu, we've all been following Dian Xia's side for so long, he's that kind of person, and for her sake, he's gone to such lengths, but she still... Tai Shu, can't you see it in your eyes, won't you feel sorry for Dian Xia, won't you feel heartache?

  Tai'an's expression changed, and at this moment, he couldn't gloss over the situation anymore. He could only sigh and ask: "Was it you who poisoned Lan, and are you also the internal traitor we've been searching for?"

  Xun Yun's face was slightly stiff, but she still nodded stubbornly.

  "Is the 'Thousand Days Drunken Orchid' on Nai Ruxin's body also your doing?"

  Xun Yun nodded as before: "But later, I discovered that she was just a chess piece, so I let her go."

  Tai'an let out a long sigh: "You, you're so muddled, if His Highness finds out, you..."

  Xun Yun resolutely interrupted him: "If Your Highness can't make a decision, then I'll help him decide. Xun Yun's life in exchange for a wise and just ruler for all eternity, no regrets."

  Tai'an shook his head: "After this incident, don't you understand? In the prince's mind, what is most important. You think it's for his own good, but I'm telling you, I've watched him grow up all these years, and the throne and power have never been what he wanted most. He chose to take this path because he had no other choice, from the moment he ordered the coup, I knew that if anything happened to the princess, it would be the prince who would truly be ruined!"

  "Usurp the throne?" I exclaimed in shock.

  "What does the princess think she's doing this for?"

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
